That Keynes bloke didn't figure into his calculations that one of the main reasons we will never achieve a 15 hour working week is because of human greed. Along with large populati…

I think the common sense approach would dictate that a persons motive would need to have been shown to be nefarious for criminal proceedings to have any chance. Ie. Intent. Without…

Awesome and congrats! - Can I ask - How do you (intend to) deal with tax from sales generated overseas? Would you outsource this, or manage it yourself? I intend to release also, b…

Yep, for the moment its Windows only, however, the vast majority of the core code is platform agnostic, so after the initial Windows release, we shall be targeting Mac and Linux.

Performance is great on single thread/single CPU, but performance is even better when doing multi-threaded for most scenarios. In terms of development, we prefer developing on less…

We are working on a multi-process GPU accelerated image viewer with the ability to seamlessly browse and organise through hundreds of thousands of photos. Although it is multi proc…

This seems like a bit of a silly question seeing that nobody can actually know the answer and therefore you will only get opinions.

Whenever I see India running a space program I always think that its money would be better spent raising the level of society there.

Get a better computer? - to run a text editor? That's funny :) My machine is a 16GB i7-4930K. It's no slouch, unlike the startup time for VS code. I can't be waiting 2 seconds for …

I'm not familiar with the intricacies here, so maybe someone can help me out, but if it is the case that using the app in certain geo-locations is illegal, then why have Apple allo…

Surely after their AI neural net thingamybob has absorbed your face, FB doesn't care about deleting your face, as their model has already benefited from it?

The article says "Apps that exploited PushKit could drain iPhone batteries, Apple said." and "The basis for doing this is battery savings"

I'm not an expert here, but if the problem is battery life (?), then surely the apps that abuse this will be outed by the users who will, by definition, see the battery getting dra…

I've never used Notepad2. How is it better than notepad++?

I've seen this a lot. Where it is broken down so much that it involves mental gymnastics to follow whats going on. It also results in Spaghetti-code with fragmented functionality. …

notepad++ is far faster to load. A notepad replacement should load instantly. VS code does not.

That does not excuse it in my book.

I take your point about being "exposed" to the product, however it must be the case that ads want you to click them, otherwise clicking them would not do anything. Which is not the…

Care to elaborate a little?

Presumably ads are so valuable because people click through them and go on to purchase. I realise I am in a minority, but I have never clicked on a digital ad and went through to b…

My dream is for a computer OS that has all the good new stuff (CPU/GPU acceleration mainly, OS level HW support) and none of the bad new stuff (bloated UI/my every mouse click bein…

Then again, the more complicated something is 1) the easier it is to break 2) the more vulnerable it is, no matter what the designers think. It gets to a point where full testing c…

Can anyone in the know explain why, if ground clearance due to the new engines is the issue, why Boeing cannot just add a few inches to the wheel stems? This would raise the whole …

It is. But don't worry, when it is found out that it is a mess, we have a plan. We can add a software patch to correct the bad software output. Not fix the bad software. But add so…

I don't think that is the case. Given the types of failure we are talking about, this would be documented as part of the design process. All it takes is someone from the FAA to rea…
