    I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

    I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

    Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.



  • For example, don’t ever say you use Windows here lest a whole horde of people jump in to call you an idiot for not having switched to Linux

    Just copy Linux Mint onto an USB stick. No need to boot it, you hang it around your neck like a cross, and display it to raging pinguinoids to pacify them.

    I am using Debian, in case you were wondering.




  • Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.

    Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.

    When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.

    But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.
