Hard disagree. You and must have watched different videos.

He provides concrete examples and solutions.

I think we have different definitions of the term "concrete solution".

His solutions are vague, wildly over-simplified, and unrealistic.

Is it just me or do Americans just hate hearing that their city design is terrible?

Everybody hates hearing criticism of the things that they accept as normal.

The portions of US cities that were built before mass automobiles -- say, 1930 - are comparable to European cities built between 1650 and 1930.

Europe got hit by WWII and the necessity of rebuilding in basically the same footprint. The US got hit by automobiles and the lack of necessity.

This is addressed in another video by the same person https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0

But basically suburbs can be designed well too.

It needs to have strong public transit that connects to the city (or wherever most people work).

And you still need good walkable and bikable paths everywhere. Because driving cars just sucks for everyone.

How does one own a company by serving ads. I don't get it

Google pays you if you deliver ads from their network on your website. They have a bunch of websites that can show ads, Google pays them. They use the money to buy Google shares.

You can't imagine why a Windows user would want to run it on better hardware?

Or that there are Windows workflows that just don't work on OSX?

Or want a fanless laptop with good performance?

TBH I have a hard time understanding why people choose to run windows at all, except for playing games. If you're stuck using windows because the corporate overlords insist, then yeah that sucks.

Also you can always run windows in a VM. Even on an M1.

Windows has fantastic accessibility properties/support. They even have a blind dev working on Visual Studio (or did)[0] for awhile. Apple's accessibility options are not anywhere near on-par with Windows. Linux ... I honestly haven't ever tried a screen reader in Linux and I have a feeling it is 100% up to whichever dev implemented something with no centralized style of doing things.

I’m with you. Many people constantly complain about windows but most of them still using it. They say it’s going to get better, but it won’t. You could spend five years trying to make windows run ob an M1 und MS would break it within an hour. I’m done with microsoft, they disappointed me to many times, never again. It’s necessary for some games but it’s getting better with linux (thanks to valve).

I use Windows and Linux equally as often, and I don't see this changing. There are some areas in which Windows itself is far superior, e.g:

- HiDPI and font rendering (ClearType is the best font AA solution I've ever seen);

- gaming and 3D graphics (Direct3D is a straightforward API to program with; OpenGL is 'deprecated', and Vulkan is a mess);

- multi-GPU support with Optimus and related switching technologies;

- a catch-all OS API to program with (WinAPI goes as far as handling user folders, libraries, application configuration and data[0], whereas on Linux land it's just a mess of hopefully-defined environment variables and if not, everything is dumped into a dotfile/dotdir);

- a nice shell[1] (IMO, superior to bash and friends) that is bundled with the OS to manage said OS, with object-oriented data throughput, strong(er) typing, and access to the .NET library;

- as of Windows 11, increasingly unifying UI/UX experience with WinUI 3 (yes, it was a mess with Windows 8 and 10; Vista and 7 were the most recent OSes to drastically change the 'desktop environment', and Windows 8 was a very mild reskin of Windows 7, all things considered);

- powerful ACL-based permissions model and 'hidden file' metadata bit, instead of expecting a dot prefix to mean 'hidden';

- a kernel structure that makes writing third-party device drivers straightforward, because there is no need to compile out-of-kernel drivers with headers;

- vastly improved touchpad handling compared to Linux (yes, OS X is better still, but given that it will be increasingly difficult to 'hackintosh' after Apple's move to ARM, this is a moot point);

Furthermore:

- there are some software that are either industry-standard, or superior to the competition that only run on Windows/OS X, or even only on Windows (e.g. MS Office, Adobe suite, Visual Studio, Autodesk Maya/CAD; Active Directory);

- there is less incentive to run Linux bare-metal when WSL2 exists;

- Windows still holds a supermajority of desktop users, and it would do well for developers to use the OS that their users use, aka dog-fooding.

I have never understood this hardcore anti-Windows dogma that so many hackers seem to have.

Well said.

On top of that, you can run majority of mainstream Linux tools on Windows, natively, without WSL. Contrary is usually not the case, you need Wine or VM.

There is context for everything - Linux is great for servers and particularly IoT since you need lots of them, it doesn't make sense to pay for Windows Server in that case. Since Desktop can be used mostly free of charge nowdays, I don't really see a problem.

And ofc. PowerShell is light years better then anything on Linux, not that it is much important now since pwsh is cross-platform.

I can relate to this.

My understanding is you're addicted to dopamine.

You need a dopamine fast. Just take away all your dopamine sources for a 1 day, or 1 week. And then self reflect on its effects on you.

The repeat it every once in a while or whenever you need it.

1 day a week. Or 1 week per month. Something like that.

You've encouraged me to do the same. I'm very unhappy with my own addiction to youtube and social media. Though its more like 2 hours per day maybe

Did you actually read the OP? The author describes times when they abstained from Reddit/YouTube and going cold turkey.

Maybe its just me but the Pixel 5 is the perfect size.

I don't find the iPhone mini being any better in terms of size. They are both usable with one hand.

I'll take YAML/TOML over JSON any day.

shrug

People who chose JSON for configuration are not to be trusted.

Questions

Is this meant to be recursive or authoritative DNS?

Is there an equivalent of query logging?

Are there plans to make this full featured liked BIND, or definitely not because your goal is to keep it "no fat, light"?

Authoritative first but it is also recursive if you specify a parent.

Query logging can be easily implemented.

I don't expect to ever make this as full featured as BIND. Then again, this also was true of Glauth, and correctness-as-a-goal ends up forcing us to roll lots of functionality in the software.

Are you talking about 'Views' which is common in BIND DNS configurations.

Serving different data on the same zone based in subnets of clients.
