Kevin Boone shows an interesting reason of why Linux might never become popular; making Linux more consumer-friendly would likely strip away the power, configurability, and culture that attract technical users. #Programming

Jonny:

What you may not realize is, you’ve actually signed up to be unpaid tech support for Microsoft’s “Visual Studio Installer”. You might notice GitHub Issues becoming less about your code and more about broken builds, specifically on Windows. You find yourself explaining to a contributor that they didn’t check the “Desktop development with C++” workload, but specifically the v143 build tools and the 10.0.22621.0 SDK. No, not that one, the other one. You spend less time on your project because you’re too busy being a human-powered dependency resolver for a 50GB IDE.

Oh God. This touched a part in me. #I really hate Microsoft #Programming

Just a kind reminder that this is because in number arithmetic theory, every number can be broken down into a unique product of prime numbers; if 1 were considered prime, you could multiply it endlessly into any factorization and that uniqueness would disappear. #Mathematics #Prime Numbers
