Like a hipster wearing a monocle fashioned with metaverse-substrate. The new age user interface is like cup of coffee and a pipe with eco-friendly, translucent tobacco.

I tend to nitpick in similar ways. However, LibreOffice is used across language boundaries, and words like Free and Open don’t translate as well in my opinion.

The thing is an orca isn’t going to mass-kill a bunch of seals because that’s wasteful (of energy). Sure they can kill and play with seals for entertainment, but they don’t (can’t?…

There’s a huge difference: in the animal kingdom all species play their part and live freely—yes there is predators and prey, and the wilderness can be a violent place. But humans …

I’d love to see a language where you write the tests and then the compiler creates the application code.

I think the author is just referring to writing heart-felt letters or well-thought-out business correspondence. People en masse don’t know how to communicate these days because of …

If it phones home to China count me out. I’ll go for the reMarkable tyvm I can just see me working on a brilliant invention (one can dream , right?) and putting my notes into the n…

Mostly I mean: walk into a store, grab a few things off the shelf, and pay with bitcoins—the way cash is used. If I use any current digital forms of payment, someone is watching/re…

Interesting because this idea touches on a few things: 1) Effective data visualization is extremely beneficial for the learning process; 2) Combining sensory experiences together e…

They would probably have to bag the devices as evidence. But let’s be serious here it has to be at a place where a warrant is issued right? Tech folks are super paranoid. Like, try…

In theory though, this is no different than making someone “empty their pockets.” It’s just we happen to have information in our pockets. Folks, keep your information AT HOME where…

That’s why the coins I have more faith in are coins which incentivize things like distributed compute/storage. However, currency in google play or whatever is missing features that…

Honestly I think the downfall began with lack of no-script support. JavaScript is a great addition to add interactivity, but it is an obvious win for commercial interests. It would…

Sorry to hear that about your close family/friends. However, vouching for a rushed approval based on emotions is why such panels exist. That quality assurance is extremely importan…

Meh… Python zealots abound. Folks often say the same thing about Fortran but frankly, those are the engines that power ALL scripting languages math features. You’re running on C/C+…

Subjectivity aside: the fact stands that Perl is the most ubiquitous scripting language on Unix and the de facto standard. You’ll find it by default on many container environments …

I’m surprised you don’t mention Perl in this list. It’s the de facto Unix scripting language and frankly more suitable to the task than others. Perl on the command line is beautifu…

Selling fake products masquerading as a real ones. That’s literally the worst case scenario for a customer. If I buy a product and it has issues—okay, it happens. Maybe I post a ba…

The problem with CSS has historically been browser conformance—naturally there’s been some workarounds. However, CSS has been a success because of its ubiquity. However, it is some…

VS code has nice features but man.. every time I close the editor an update gets applied. I uninstalled because of that. Lately I prefer purpose built IDEs for whatever task is nee…

I had one of those display panels on a rugged Win7 tablet and it was pretty impressive.

Best thing to do is buy straight from manufacturer if possible require insurance on the shipment—that way the post has to deliver it or they are paying you!

Moral of the story: any public interfaces should be peer reviewed by various stakeholders if possible :) If no one is available, stepping away from ones own work and reviewing it w…

I think everyone is somewhat affected the same way because of devices. The natural rhythm of humans is sunrise to sunset, without electricity. But we put ourselves in the pixel glo…

Just want to point out that Rust and Python live on opposite sides of the spectrum. A systems language requires good understanding of systems (whether rust or c/c++) and also some …
