I'm so sorry my self "taught" grammar is so bad, I must invest money in proper foreign language schooling just so I could appease some random dipshit on hackernews.
Same guy who complained about entering root password to set up printer? Yeah. Linux fans are fast to go "lol m$ UAC", but their shitty UX with entering root password every 10 minutes is "securiteh!!!". :))
Install git without requiring root privileges... Also git is a 3rd party application, yet somehow all distros treat git as part of base system/OS bundle/whatever, so Fedora 25 has set version of 2.9, 24 of 2.7, etc. WHY. WHY. It's third party software, not part of your god damn OS - there should be only one version of git in the repos for ALL FEDORA VERSIONS - and that would be the latest... Come the fuck on.
Replace "git" with every other package....
Linux is so amateur hour with all plainly stupid decisions, I'd rather pay good money for proper unix.
Not really news, saying "linux distro chases ideas to rewrite instead of sticking to one thing and fixing it and that's why linux desktop won't ever happen" is like saying "grass is green".
Because we solve practical problems, and do not nit pick of what is technically correct. We are not drones and easily understand that in this context it's megabytes.
Just look at all that "technically it's mebibytes bla bla bla" in replies. No one cares. Write some code. Or better - go outside.
Original comment sounds more like google's shill comment, to be honest. Because iPhones take pictures instantly too (although they have a quick ui feedback), and it's either hard to believe that attendant never touched iPhone, which is, like, well, the most popular phone ever; or it's indeed that pixel doesn't indicate in any way that it has taken the picture.

Well, you haven't seen Windows then - the graphics stack is phenomenal and a marvel of engineering. nVidia drivers crash? I only get a second of black screen and then resume my work. Yep, that's right - no other GUI program crashed, I didn't had to do anything, literally just 1 second of black screen.
Oh and you can have one window on two monitors and both parts of window will have full vsync - insane, huh? :)
Now I know why most of my colleagues in software development do not have a degree - academy really, really closes your mind in some strange bubble and shields you from real world...
I'd take Intel CPU that runs 120 FPS average over AMD that runs 130 FPS average, when lowest FPS for Intel drops to 100 FPS and for AMD it drops to 80 FPS...
