If Microsoft was really ambitious about building a product truly competing to the Macbook Pro, they would need to ship it with a radically different version of Windows. Microsoft c…

I owe my whole fascination with programming from childhood to Visual Basic 6. I was 11 and I could hardly read English, yet VB6 with the WYSIWYG-editor and an introductory book by …

I think you might be underestimating how many potential customers are unwilling to buy from Tesla after Elon Musk decided to openly support the MAGA wing of republicans. Not sure w…

Well, in many safety-critical industries (e.g. manufacturing of medicinal products) you actually need to maintain objective evidence of its validation.

I feel like the “investing in the customer” part always seems the case with HP. The products never work properly unless you are willing to pay them more money or live with the extr…

Designing a prototype car for trials vs mass production are two different things entirely. Those lidar sensors will become far less intrusive once a car is designed for mass produc…

No, and must likely the ethical committee review would reject the use of a placebo group in the study.

It is a reflection of exactly that, but this completely dismissed all the risks: - Maybe new ml-tech is invented that does not require as heavy equipment. - Maybe AI does not grow …

No-code and no-specification is confused all the time.

That needs some nuances. There are some processes that are just well-known by research to be standardized - like supply-chain, regardless if JIT-style or forecasted stockkeeping. S…

That's neither feasible nor required. Copenhagen still has cars in city centre - personally I drive my bike 95% of the time, but sometimes I need to use my car. However, I much pre…

It is actually not only because Keto is calorie deficient, but also because it encourages ketogenic metabolism, which means that while you are calorie deficient you are more effect…

Yes, that would be a nice future. But how do I get to the office, now?

But the discussion of whether something is renewable is also a complex topic that is only true to some extent. Renewable energy sources (Wind and Solar) are technically not renewab…

You could. You might even say it's difficult to make any project estimate without your plan being waterfall. Planning and execution are deliberately two very different things, and …

You don't have too, but it is very common to fall into the trap. If working within a safety-critical industry and wanting to do Agile, typically you'll break down high-level requir…

The historical analogy in Microsoft is more correct than one might think. For Microsoft, it was a question of relinquishing control (e.g. going from proprietary to open) that helpe…

While those are important costs to consider, there is no way people will agree on how to measure such things in comparable terms.

That does not strike me as the right direction of progression. We should become better at in-space assembly, not creating larger payload fairing.

Well it's anecdotal, but yes, our company fits directly into that space. You might ask why we don't want to just have the hardware in-house, but since we're developing Software as …

It has been claimed for years that some day in the future "everyone will have to learn how to code". While I don't really disagree with that statement, I am much more inclined to b…

Adding to this, we should view raw materials used in production as something we "borrow" from the earth that must be returned. And the cost of returning them - through disassembly …

I will never buy a Dell XPS laptop again. The exterior build quality seems very good, but the internals are such a mess. I cannot count how many times I have been biking home from …

Perhaps reflection from other bodies? Or simply some kind of radiation emitted from the jets?

It has this setting and defaults to using your phone as the proximity device. Not sure why else I should BT pair my phone with my PC.
