Just dropping a comment to say congrats for getting something up and running and that it's nice to see somebody doing something for the elderly and those less technically proficien…

The 'tailored music' scenario suggested in this paper doesn't require any kind of NFT, let alone an 'iNFT'. If ever there was a solution looking for a problem, this is it.

This is great and all, but the merge process is still messy as hell

Very timely post for me - as this is exactly what I'm trying to achieve at my own place :P I've forwarded it to several people to help bolster my argument, so thanks!

We also scrutinise every aspect of how we work; it doesn't mean that there's a viable remote-only replacement for everything a team might need to do. Your anecdote is not data - it…

> C'mon - if we can make it work then you can make it work. If this was a reasonable argument, nobody would ever have any issues!

I think it largely depends on what the work actually involves. For me - I personally don't like working from home. I need the separation between my place of work and my place of re…

The 'bare minimum to not get fired' is the expectation of any job. If the employer wants to increase the expectations levelled on employees, then they should write it into their co…

I recently set up NextCloud on a Raspberry Pi and found the process a little more convoluted than I would have liked - but that was mostly because the linuxserver.io image for Mari…

If banks simply refused to implement stupid and ineffective rules, no government is going to shut them down.

Nice organisational simplicity would be to simply not have any special rules for the unvaccinated in the first place

It's not black and white; a lost year of education is a terrible thing on its own in terms of future prospects - but kids need to be around their peers for reasons that go beyond a…

I don't think a cover letter is necessary - but being able to demonstrate that you can write thoughtfully and clearly is always going to be a plus imo, whatever the job entails. Th…

Politics aside, I wonder how this will impact China's game industry in 15-20 years? Though I do think game addiction (particular in the era of microtransactions etc) is something w…

I've experienced this before; my recommendation would be to pitch an alternative tool to the PM based on how that tool would make the PM's job easier / more effective . It's probab…

I'm not aware of any actual data on this, but it seems to me that those who choose not to be vaccinated are probably also very unlikely to be tested on any regular basis (if at all…

Whilst I don't think there's any particular problem with building tech to help the government / military run simulations etc; I do think it should be made clear to employees what t…

I'd argue that a 'strict lockdown' is, in itself, rather draconian. Almost by definition, it requires heavy policing of an individual's life and almost total surveillance of their …

Perhaps you should - if we all did, we'd reduce the spread massively.

The more I learn about what's been done to this poor woman, the more disgusted I become; time and time again it appears that people have exploited her and made her life hell for pe…

Nature abhors two things that humans adore: straight lines, and walls. All kinds of innovative solutions to contain ecological damage have come and gone, and will continue to come …

First: Check your contract. Many companies include clauses about owning work you do whilst employed by the company , not simply work you do in relation to your employment at the co…

About time - the death of the 'gig economy' can't come quickly enough.

I think those fears are entirely understandable - but this is the system working as intended. The problem is not that social media is allowed to do what it does (i.e. give everyone…

I haven't downvoted you - and there's no spin. Just because people with vested interests in destroying journalism keep saying that journalists talking with your political opponents…
