why are programmers so dumb
Program asks to update when you open it, when you have the intention of using it right now
Aaron Reyes
Grayson Ward
your programs don't update in the background
what is this, 1442?
Aaron Walker
that's just unethical
Joseph Bennett
>he lets his programs autoupdate
Enjoy your botnets.

>program installs background auto-updater without asking and without an indicator that it's running
>tries to auto-update when innawoods computering with no internet
>programmers assumed every computer would always have internet access
>updater gets stuck in some loop using up 100% of one core
>force-quit doesn't work because there are two processes and they resurrect each other
>have to edit startup files and reboot to fix
the state of corporation-produced software

Just reading it made me mad

>programs never ask you to update
>instead your operating system takes care of updating programs for you, even allowing you to update while still using the program

Thomas Williams
because it's more useful to receive new or improved features or bugfixes before you use it. Imagine you have a piece of software that you are going to use to render a video with, and after rendering the video for 14 hours you close the software, only to find out that a new update that improved the rendering time by 30%. it would be a real kick in the balls. doing what you say is incredibly short sighted, just quit being a lazy fag and press the update later button.
>why are programmers so dumb
if they're so dumb why dont you take their job? Also in most commercial software, the programmers don't make design decisions.
Owen Flores
>if they're so dumb why dont you take their job?
Because I program as a hobby and work with HR which pays way more for way less job.

why is it still not possible to update a program on windows without closing it first?
Julian Garcia
but it is, what the fuck are you talking about
Christopher Moore
because people don't feel like it worked if they don't have to open it up again
Samuel Murphy
it's not
Jason Howard
I worked at a software support center and we were told to always tell to client to restart their computer after updating despite you not even needing to close it at all.
Unironically
Kevin Anderson
sure, i get that, but that doesn't explain why it's not possible to do
is there a technical reason for it, or /was/ there a technical reason that is obsolete, but still isn't allowed for some kind of compatibility reason, or what?
Matthew Rodriguez
>what the fuck are you talking about
i'm talking about this
Jayden Long
Windows 10 has "Update and Shutdown"
Chase King
I'm retarded and conceive retarded ideas, OC inbound.
Gavin Cooper
It doesn't count if you don't have just the shutdown option.
David Brooks
dear god no...
Blake Turner
that's in no way fault of the operating system
that happens when retards with keyboards fopen a file and then not close it again when they've already read the contents.
Nathan Reyes
im beyond mad
Ryder Rogers
