Blinkenlights appears to no longer exist :(

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don’t know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn’t hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.

Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.

And then there’s your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you’re far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that’s also going to depend on your router.

But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.

A new laptop, even the best in the world, won’t make your downloads any faster.

I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

Jesus Christ is not my Lord and saviour. I demand you delete this post immediately and apologise. This is as insulting to me as pineapple on a pizza

A couple of edits (not trying to be rude but people sent to your article are going to be pedantic)

*current beliefs

This sentence needs editing: “They even split the category into two and the make a distinction between implicit multiplication with variables other implicit multiplications.”

Pretty much, but I think originally it didn’t even have subreddits. What set it apart from digg was really the community and comments - the quality of which were much better than digg. Similarly to Lemmy it was originally much more tech related too.

When you build that font you can specify how condensed it is. Check out the open issues, someone mentioned how to do it.

The only thing I don’t like about that versioning system is the ambiguity that can sometimes arise due to different interpretations of what the numbers after the first dot mean.

You could either say: It’s a decimal system, therefore 3.4 is bigger (comes after) 3.13. (3.4 > 3.13) or, The numbers after each dot are independent, therefore 13 is bigger than 4, so 13 is the newer release.

It’s usually fairly obvious from changelings but every now and then I get tripped up.
