I have written software that saves files and saves to standard geopackage formats. Microsoft is known to have a lot of inconsistencies between its spec and reality. One important p…

This is not true. In my company I decided we would not depend on Microsoft products. We use kSuite that offers everything MS does, ~90% cheaper. The one real problem we run into is…

You know it's an India focused device when the top selling point is "Check the cricket results" ;)

Ksuite is literally a google workspace competitor nothing unfocused about that. My company uses them for everything works well.

The idea that science progresses by lone wolf geniuses disrupting the status quo is simply false. It makes a good story for low budget documentaries, but it is basically never true…

Many of the dumb ideas being hyped in this AI bubble make sense viewed through this lens. Data centres stirring up opposition? Sell a sci-fi vision that you will move them to Space…

The problem in practice is that quickly one merges into the other. You start with a markdown readme, then you have markdown documentation for a small project. But then one day you …

Sqlite is a great bit of technology but sometimes I read articles like this and think, maybe they should have used postgres. I you don’t specifically need the “one file portability…

Thats the very definition of “anecdata”. (Anecdotes you mistake for representative data)

As European it really struck me how poor the second hand ev market must be in the US. For the “cheap second hand car to do short distances” we have a lot of options really cheap - …

The lengths people go to not to make walkable cities (and insulated buildings, fast trains.. you know, all the stuff that actually exists and works)

"The future is..." well it might be until the next fashion change comes about.

This will happen for sure. Designs are fashions that come and go, like jeans that go from skinny to baggy and back again. I don't think anything is absolute, tastes change and peop…

Did my phd around that time and did a project “scaling” my work on a spark cluster. Huge pita and no better than my local setup which was an MBP15 with pandas a postgres (actually …

Finance bro decides tweets are better evidence than physics… nothing to see here

Hardly surprising that an administration that built its brand on “post truth” has no interest in the good functioning of academic research

Seems like a lot of effort to go to rather than just use Firefox or Safari...

When the industry is all about the myth of the trendy tech founder, of course the ones who succeed are the con-men and fabulists. All jobs and no woz indeed

there is also not that much money in the state run that the majority of people education follow. Teacher salaries are already squeezed. Its ironic, everyone says get a good educati…

They mention validation in software which suggests a hardware implementation is a way off with a lot of practical issues that might crop up on the way. So best of luck to them but …

It's surprising how many people seem to be happy to eat these kinds of charges just to avoid having to actually understand the infrastructure they run on. Even AWS can be pretty ex…

The basic problem is GPL tries to use copyright as a way to drive a “fair sharing and resharing” approach to code. AI generated code sold for profit violates the spirit of this app…

Company: Planeto (early stage cleantech startup) Planeto develops next generation software for design and operation of clean district heating and cooling networks, to accelerate ad…

two reasons: 1 is im very familiar with the field and 2 i think it’s both common enough not to be dismissible as a weird edge case (you’ll find at least one architect in most towns…

I’ve seen this repeated and it’s just not true. Very non-expert users can use it just because its reasonably stable and they just don’t do that many things, as long as they have a …
