Yes, because Catalonia was resisting the fascist coup with their own revolutionary struggle to collectivize agriculture based on consent of the farmers, and worker ownership led by…

IMO there's a couple of networks that have provided a killer app, but Bitcoin maximalism and ETH dominance completely overshadow them. I've followed loosely since 2009, never got i…

I think it will in some cases and others it won't. I feel like I would have a hard time making good progress in software if Thursday was a wasted day like Friday often is, but I im…

This is assuming the 38 hour worker isn't doing other productive things off the clock. I think it gets a lot less clear if any significant number of the 4 day workers are producing…

I've definitely been surprised by the sentiment here lately that iOS devices are more secure. I don't know enough about iOS to evaluate that claim, but my impression of phone secur…

Which is wild to me because my immediate thought upon learning was ok, how long until I can get off Xorg?

I could see it if you use the project for proprietary purposes yourself and are not the only contributor, or if you want to reach a wider audience with the project. In general thou…

It's fun to see someone else describe the tokens for votes model. I've been working on my first 3D game trying to think of how I would support it if it's OSS while giving players d…

It's really unfortunate how unfriendly games are to modding both technically and legally today. We've certainly missed out on a lot of potential

Sadly the niche subs end up following the same path, and as someone who has done that Reddit is starting to feel like it's lost its charm. I think it boils down to upvote/downvote …

Yes, it's weird seeing the X is dead sentiment considering some of the most popular distros are still using X, and Wayland has only recently caught up with comparability for workfl…

I would hate to be stuck on the same product or set of features, but I very much enjoy getting to a point where I know all of the systems, how they relate, and roughly where all th…

Has anyone had a chance to test how Pipewire works with low latency? I'm excited at the idea of replacing my Pulse+ALSA setup, but I'm also looking for the lowest possible latency …

I think it's important to highlight the difference between productive and profitable here. There's likely many things someone could do that's more productive, as in creates a benef…

WFH will happen because firms practicing will be saving significantly on expensive office space that can be used to hire developers, especially in COL areas, and with remote not be…

And only be able to afford a 700sqft studio if I'm lucky

Unfortunately even in Chicago I found the commute to be exhausting when I lived right next to a train. It was still 40+ minutes if you got there right as the train was leaving, and…

I can't describe how distracting it is for me personally to have to overhear every screen share in a physical office, and how great and easy it is to do it remotely and even pull i…

I think this is an org-smell though, I shouldn't miss out on important details because I was in the stall or taking a quick walk either. My first job was remote communications orie…

We've been using it in production for a web service for over a year now, it's been a pleasant experience. dotnet core and ASP.NET are great platforms/ecosystems and F# has no troub…

Preschool is extremely valuable for childhood development

I'm not doubting, but is there evidence for the negative effects in some regions? From what I remember years ago it seemed like a significant success based on a number of metrics

I've worried about Microsoft's commitment to F# in the past, but as of late they seem clearly committed to signal boosting the language as a way to grab mindshare from people who a…

The null thing is a bad example, particularly because it's from the .NET side and C# is focusing on removing that now through nullable reference types, but I'm honestly surprised t…
