why isnt technology aesthetic anymore?

>Hello, hypothetical consumer, we are selling products:

>1000 for n units of computer, but it looks intangibly "nicer", for some definitions of nicer
> What would you like?
American society all agreed as a collective that they like option one better, except when option two is a status item like apple products are seen as, or luxury cars.
This is why you have planned obsolescence, ugly workhorse technology, airplane seats which are little coffins, and Walmart: it's what you really wanted.
>>59916678
my problem is that the some definitions of nicer that they make don't overlap with mine. This flat minimalism shit that's in today is not at all aesthetic.
Today everything is made to satisfy the taste(lessness) of the dumb masses.
See for instance the ugliness of modern German cars that are sold to tasteless Chinese neoveau rich plebs, dumb arabs, Russian criminals and oligarchs..., these cars all look like shit because the targeted customers love things that look like shit.
What are you working on /g/?
I need career advice. CS and machine learning kick my ass, but I am okay at software engineering. Should I become a web developer? Is it easier than being an Android/iOS developer? My university dropout friend did a bootcamp and now works in Vancouver as a webdev. He knows fuck all about data structures and algorithms. He was a math major.
I want to create a text editor in n-curses, but I have a dumb question, would it be possible to dynamically create LaTeX-like formatting?
Like, when you finish typing\lambda
or
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}, it appears as a single character (as it would normally appear in a compiled TeX document), much like what Word does, but better.
What would some good books/resources be for this project?
>CS kicks my ass
>Okay at software eng
No, you're okay at letting an IDE and Virtual Environment fix all your awful mistakes.
You should switch industries entirely.

How come you SICP-shilling disfunctional programming gentoomen use any operating system besides GuixSD ? It's pure and brackety for the whole family, and it respects your freedum. See pic related for LULz.
>New research shows that software coding changes suggested by women had higher approval ratings than those from men - but only if their gender was not identifiable.
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35559439
>>59916106
So why aren't there any women putting out any C or ASM code? Why are they all a bunch of stupid web devs than can't manage their own memory?
honestly, i think women--or people behaving in the "woman" gender role--are better suited to live in and build a modern society. having a bunch of men around is useful if you don't have mechanization, but for a world that requires getting along with others and functioning as a community, women are more optimal. i think, also, that women tend to be better at "skill" work, like needlepoint, or programming computers. they live longer too, and have more functional years.

I still keep mine as a backup card. Prices have fallen so far that it's not even worth selling, despite the fact that it still beats the 480 and 1060 in some gaymes and matches them in most others.
Anyone know where I can buy one ? I want to crossfire but I don't want to get ripped off.

Firefox Addon Thread
Which addon is the best for downloading youtube videos?
youtube-dl
>>59911655
4K Video Downloader
I just throw the URL into Keepvid
So this is the power of lossless music streaming...
Ngl that's a way better design than Spotify or Google Play Music
Streamlets dont know but the point of lossless is editing without a quality drop. Might as well throw your money out
just pirate and stream to whatever device from one of your own computers. you can switch bitrates whenever you want. no ads, all the music you want etc.
As a pajeet, I really want to know an outside perspective on Indian programmers.What do you think of them?
>>59909312
Only ever had good experiences with extremely intelligent and fun guys. I will say however that they all went to University (Stanford and NJIT) in the US, spoke excellent English, and had clear accents.
>>59909366
In addition, Indian guys seem to be the closest to Americans in terms of humor. They know how to riff and fuck around with you and aren't afraid to take the same treatment.

Not a problem with note 2's, the battery is replaceable anyway.
>>59906557
>samshits
Old samsung phones (such as the Note 2 pictured) are not shit, here's why:
-Easily replaceable SIM, SD card, and battery, just pop off the back cover and remove.
-Easily repairable. You can replace the screen with just a philips screw driver and a guitar pick.
-Easily rootable and flashable
-Support for replicant, a fully free software android-based rom.
-Integrated stylus
-Super durable
-Used models are very cheap and easy to find.
-Still has specs on par with mid-tier phones today.
