Not quite. The other 0.1% are the rich, and the remaining 27.9% are either just stupid or are delusional enough to think that they'll ever become the rich.

Be the change you want to see in the world and post the exact same screenshot on the 4th.

Either the reactionaries don't read the date and get pissed off, or they do read the date and get pissed off, proving to everyone else that the have the ability to use critical thinking but choose not to when it benefits their narrative.

std::string doesn't have a template type for the allocator. You are stuck using the verbose basic_string type if you need a special allocator.

But, of course, nobody sane would write that by hand every time. They would use a typedef, like how std::string is just a typedef for std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>. Regardless, the C++ standard library is insanely verbose when you start dropping down into template types and using features at an intermediate level. SFINAE in older versions of C++ was mindfuck on the best of days, for example.

Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying Rust is much better. Its saving grace is its type inference in let expressions. Without it, chaining functional operations on iterators would be an unfathomable hellscape of Collect<Skip<Map<vec::Iter<Item = &'a str>>>>

TypeScript [...] only adds syntax, and doesn't re-write it.

I believe enum, const enum, and decorators would like to have a word with you.

Swift also uses backticks and Rust has a dumb one in the form of r#thekeyword. Still much better than introducing a async as a new keyword in a minor version of a language and breaking a bunch of libraries.

Rust is verbose, but C++ might still take the cake with its standard library templates. Especially when using fully-qualified type names...

auto a = ::std::make_shared<::std::basic_string<char, ::std::char_traits<char>, MyAllocator<char>>>();

A reference-counted shared pointer to a string of unspecified character encoding and using a non-default memory allocator.

Oh yeah. And the rechargeable mouse that needs to be flipped upside down to charge simply because the designers hated the idea of people leaving it plugged in constantly. Or the Mac Pro wheels that cost almost as much as an entire handheld PC.

What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.

5 months.

2 for the new owners to come up with a plan on how to extract the most value from their purchase.

1 to implement a shitty idea that will immediately get community backlash, then revert it.

2 to wait for people to forget about it before introducing the same idea but presented in a less shitty way.

If I was to place any bets on what they would do, it's either going to be: selling comments and mod descriptions to a corporation for LLM training; or adding time-tracking analytics to their modding client and selling that data to advertisers or research firms while making users require a subscription to use third-party clients.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here.

Apple is the company that brought us:

• Proprietary charging cables with DRM microchips.
• The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
• The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
• A phone where you buy the charger separately.
• A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
• An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
• An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
• A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they're the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.

Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.

What's next, leaded gas?

Actually, probably. It's a good way to make people grow up dumber and more irrational, and that's basically the target demographic of their party.

Or all of them, thanks to CGNAT.
