Node.js is slow compared to Java

Java is slow compared to ASM
OS X gives you a smoother UNIX experience with professional software and it's preferred and used by more developers than Linux according to the StackOverflow 2016 survey. Macbooks destroy all other laptops in battery life and screen quality for the same price. Go ahead and try installing Linux on any laptop. You will be lucky to get 2 hours of battery life out of it. If you can't afford a Mac, you can just download OS X for free and make a Hackintosh. Hackintosh has more hardware compatibility than Linux desktops, with the added bonus of being able to use programs like Photoshop.
Every time a new iPhone is released, the latest Android phones get BTFO in speed. iOS is faster, has better apps, and is just plain more aesthetic than the buggy, fragmented clusterfuck that is Android. Android OEMs introduce features that Apple invents like 3D touch months or years later. If you're a developer, you'll love working with Swift, a modern development language, over Android's Java, an old language suited to backend server work. You will also love actually getting paid for your apps, unlike on Android where users just pirate everything.
Linuxfags BTFO!

Senator Feinstein is leading an effort to force encryptors to give the US government a key to their encrypted files.
http://www.dailydot.com/politics/feinstein-encryption-bill-on-track/
Personally, I don't think this is enough. We need to do more to keep America and the children safe.
1.) Ban all forms of strong encryption by civilians without a license and require all civilian strong encryption to be decryptable with a US government issued key.
2.) Restrict weak encryption only to those who have had a background check and an encryption license. Even weak encryption can be dangerous in the wrong hands and can slow down law enforcement.
3.) Regulate the development of encryption software and limit its export from the United States. We do not need America's enemies getting their hands on this stuff.
The only entity entitled to strong encryption in this country is the United States Government. If that bothers you, I suggest you move to Somalia where you can enjoy the anarchy you so desire.

ITT: We unleash a diatribe against technology-related things that drive us mad.
I'll start:
>Mac OS X
>Press x to close program
>Program still runs
>not command+q
i mean osx has a different paradigm carrying over from classic mac os days
and chrome does this on all OS
its press x to close window, there is still a process running winbaby
>>54090520
Yes I understand that but WHAT is the point. Why would I want the program to run in the background?
I mean let's just look at some typical programs
>Word
>Safari
>Steam
>literally everything else
There is no reason to run these in the background without a window. An "X" should mean terminate, finish, end, etc.

First for keyboards that aren't actually mechanical.
How do they even keep themselves afloat?
Nobody buys their products except /g/ hipsters, and their stock is worthless. That's pretty much the signs of a failed company.
Intel antitrust bux
I am their only customer, I buy a lot
>>54086520
Intel and NVidia benefit from them being barely alive, since strictly speaking there's no case of monopoly here. Now they don't have to split up into smaller companies.

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

Remember the following:
>staff occasionally read these generals and have posted here before.
>this is a thread for educational purposes only don't offer or ask for invites. Staff may pretend to be normal users asking for invites and when you invite them, they ban you for inviting strangers
>people may report emails and other personal info posted here to staff to get you banned.
>most of the invite offers here are people trolling you with false hope - begging for invites is a waste of time and you should just interview
>/ptg/ is now considered a bad place for users to be. Don't let staff know you post here. Don't get fooled into revealing your usernames.

I am pretty sure this shit just pulls google searches for pictures, reads the tags and guesses like that seems to say the dumbest things when it can't figure out what it is.

Still using my first-gen i7 here. It's pretty comfy.
All my hardware is discontinued and/or labeled as "LEGACY" on their manufacturer websites.

Man I want an imac 3g, the one with a 700mhz processor and 1gb of ram. Seems like a comfy machine to shitpost from.
You have no time to tell me why Gentoo is not the best GNU distro.
give it up lincucks
BSD is objectively better in every way

Who do you /g/uys use as a domain host?
I'm sorting through different options right now but the most I've garnered is not to use Godaddy.
i use godaddy
>>54093832
it doesnt fucking matter just find the cheapest one out there and be done with it
>>54093858
I think it does matter, I've heard about shit tier Domain hosts hiding fees for administration or just flat out selling your domain name from under you.
Why would anyone use Linux now that Windows officially has the Bash shell. You'd have to be a huge neckbeard to use Linux as a desktop.
Has anyone here actually met someone in real life who uses Linux? Do they leave their house?
people use Linux for Freedom™, not for bash. The point is to get away from Windows and its baggage.
