Unpopular opinion from a desktop apps fan: why does anybody need a #ChatGPT desktop app if it's just, well, website wrapped in a Windows executable?
in reply to André Polykanine

Я вообще так и не смог понять какая польза от GPT, но наверное просто отстал от жизни и несколько другие представления об этом всём.
А приложение да, и правда фиг знает зачем такое нужно, тем более оно вероятно всё равно дёргает сервер. С таким же успехом можно ярлык на сайт нужный создать.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi А я постоянно пользуюсь им, но только на сайте. Пока не плачУ, бо свободных денег нет, но если/когда появятся, думаю даже перейти на платный план.


Microsoft makes available evaluation ISOs for different Windows editions, such as Enterprise, Enterprise LTSC, etc. I have most of these evaluation ISOs, however I am missing the one for Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB evaluation and I was wondering if anyone has that? I just like to archive these as they make for a quick way to test something in a pinch as they were always freely available. Thanks!

I had a nice few weeks where I almost forgot why I disliked Java. Today I remembered that I really dislike Java.
in reply to Chris 🌱

Anything in particular you dislike about it right now? I'm no Java fan, so I'm not going to argue. For me, the deep directory structures and checked exceptions would be among the top things to dislike about Java.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt The simplest way to express it would be that there's a lot of magic for the complex stuff, but far too little for the basics. I can set up a web server super easily with a few annotations, but if I want to check if two sets of some custom class Foobar are equal, I need to manually override equals() and check equality for every field. This specific point applies to multiple programming languages, but I find myself more frustrated in Java because of how many other things have magic solutions.

On an ecosystem note, many of the "magical" solutions that exist are confusing and poorly documented. Javadoc is either a terrible format for API docs, or people simply aren't using it correctly. There are a lot of handy APIs that give you zero indication of how to use them, and you have to hunt for documentation across the internet. I spent many hours this week trying to craft the exact right query that would take me to an example for an API that exists.
