My reasons to hate XML: - element vs attribute ambiguity - model of the document does not fit nicely to programming model of structs, dicts and arrays - too many complexities (enti…

I'd love if that UI was part of the file manager. totalcmd.exe or Finder.app or mc or Krusader etc.

I never understood why file open/save dialog is a separate thing. I want to use my file manager to open and save files!

path-based auth middleware is a bad practice IMHO

Why put such crappy display on such a high power device?

As a kid I was intrigued by telephones. I got hands on two old rotary phones and I wanted them to talk together. I wired them in series with a battery. Despite my dad telling me it…

How was CSS supposed to protect against copying the encrypted data? We should not need to decrypt the video to duplicate the disc.

How does SQLite handle HA setups? The minimum I want is reliable automatic failover in reasonable time for user-facing service. Ideally an active-active setup.

Our state-issued eID cards are supposed to have a function that allows anonymous age verification to a trusted party. It should work like this: a requesting party sends a request s…

Yet, Google is a lot more specific im what, how and why you license the content to Google. And it is not for anything that Firefox does. Plus: > Some of our services are designed t…

Can you quote and link the relevant part of ToS other browsers and MS Office (the one that runs on your computer, not 365 cloud) ?

> We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. Like - what ba…

I did not do many things in Delphi but I have studied the language and VCL architecture for the very purpose of determining why it is so aproachable and productive (as compared to …

It also bypasses firewall (ufw on ubuntu)

I just flip the coin cell around so it stays in the device but does not deplete (reverse polarity but in fact the contacts will not touch the battery poles so no harm).
