This is an important point, and an oft-quoted mantra I've seen from older devs.
Your computer will change, and has little to know difference on your health.
Your monitor, keyboard, mouse (and chair/desk can also be included) are your long term tools that you use to interact with your computer. They can be a benefit or detriment to your health (eye strain, RSI, back pain). If you have to work with your computer for your job, and do so for many years, it's worth it to purchase tools that have long term benefits.

Good luck finding an LCD with any concrete health benefits beyond any other. The industry literally just adds a bunch of gimmicks each year to see if people bite. All I can say for sure is IPS prevents you from needing to fix your head in one angle (especially for low contrast images), and most LCDs are too bright.
This reminds me of another issue: If you have a monitor with overdrive and use a color temperature adjuster like redshift, the overdrive smearing is often super bright while the rest of the screen is mellow.

Did you choose 40 year old because it’s too old, or because it’s too young? I genuinely can’t tell
The essential point is that he's 40 and still doesn't know what he's doing (a common problem in any technical field).

A language centric OS isn't a compelling idea to users outside enthusiasts of that language.
This is true until you realize all general purpose languages are the same and redundant. There is no reason to have more than one on a given system.

The responsibility lies at the nation-state level, and the clear decision is for Governments to ban the formal exchange of cryptocurrencies.
As soon as this occurs, ransomware events will collapse since the ransoms will become unpayable.
The negatives of cryptocurrencies (ransomware enablement, chip and electricity shortages, scams) clearly outweigh the positives at this point.
Ah yes, we should outlaw the ability for people to send money to each other and have civilization take the burden of incompetent corporations that can't be bothered to follow basic infosec practices (let alone whatever product they are selling in the first place is probably garbage and has no value beyond monopoly).

The standard business solution to solve security issues - for example like having all your database in a public folder - is to get a guy to implement "security" (whatever that means) who is 40 years old and is really confident he knows what he is doing. He will go configure some firewalls and stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with preventing any real risk aside from automated attacks. Every time someone still gets the files from some 90's vuln, everyone is surprised that some sooper dooper hacker wizard was able to own their fortune 500 company.
> The least deployed solutions post-attack included web scanning (40%), endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) technologies (38%), antivirus software (38%), mobile and SMS security solutions (36%), and managed security services provider (MSSP) or managed detection and response (MDR) provider (34%). Only 3% of respondents said they did not make any new security investments after a ransomware attack.
uh huh. uh huh. uh huh. uh huh.
Meanwhile, for example, earlier today: a web search for "cat /etc/passwd" blocks my IP. What even is the point of this article? _Of course_ if you don't patch they will just hack you again. _Of course_ if your company follows terrible 90's practices, it will get owned again.

Java's punishing startup times is not a red herring, and I'm dumbfounded someone in a forum like HN makes such a claim. Even in serverless applications like AWS Lambda, python and javascript enjoy execution times that are an order of magnitude faster than Java ones, even with hot starts and stuff initialized a priori.
I was saying that it's a red herring to go "oh people don't used typed languages because Java programs start up slow".

Then you get different issues including more obscure and untested systems. I responded to someone asking why not use Java. I answered it. Please don't try to change the question after the fact when you don't like the answer.
I know you're trying to pin me as being rude, but no. Your answer is bad and ad-hoc. Just because a language is not Java does not make it magically untested and obscure. Just use Go tbh.
Edit: Okay I see the original guy stated Java. It is what it is. The real useful answer is to just use any other typed language, and not use Python.

We live in a world where people unironically put comments on top of every file in their projects (but only the ones they can easily insert a meaningless string into) like "you cannot disclose this file blah blah blah" and call themselves "grown ups". What's this Android nonsense, can't it just run programs like a normal computer? At the very least if it purports to not be a general purpose computer, then there should be no excuse for security vulnerabilities.
