Investopedia has an interesting article, search "dormancy fee", but it's about credit cards, still doesn't seem like it could be legal for Paypal either.

> How do you reconcile being a machine made of matter with the feeling that you're free to choose what you do? We have a soul, unlike actual machines or animals.

Wrong. deckiedan and swat535 have it correct. Scarcity of money isn't evil, being poor isn't evil. People survived fine for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years before the c…

MacOS dumb UI choices like a global menu make it a a poor UX OS. VLC has it right.

> I'm 100% in the old-school, self-managed local media camp, but I'm well aware that I'm an extreme minority and can't expect mass-market companies to cater to my use case. We are …

Turn off Ad Personalization for your Google account and go to YouTube and view and video, like one related to flying or math and you will likely see ads on the right which reflect …

1 million Mac and 3 million Windows users most of whom probably don't know what docker is let alone run it; would like to disagree.

What happens if 100% of people decide they don't want to be the chump paying for UBI and we all go on UBI? With no one left making money, there's no way for the country to make pay…

> all payment systems will just be Paypal I wonder if Warren is trying to intentionally accomplish that?

> Podman has developed a heap of systemd hooks that effectively use that as the daemon. Does that mean Podman is not technically ... rootless?

Weird, I have no need I can see for rootless and on multiple machines no issues installing Docker on Ubuntu including using either the Ubuntu repo or the Docker repo. It just works…

Google Mac hibernate issues. Over 1 million results. Windows, over 3 million. I gave up on hibernation being a valid concept in the 1990's, there's too many things that can go wron…

Brings back fun fond memories, bookmarked, thank you.

Self-taught starting over 40 years ago for fun, then transitioned to FT around 28 years ago. Books, time and mainly a driving passion to write code, get it working and often even m…

It's the two words, "government enforcement", that bothers me. If your party is in control the words sound fine, otherwise, they sound ominous.

Depends on the use case, sometimes a list is more appropriate. On an old machine, Java 17 can iterate a list of 30 million strings looking for a match in around a half second. Just…

It sounds like that was a horrific event. The inverse also happened under communist regimes though, since you bring it up, out of context of Java and AAA (triple A) gaming which is…

I am not a morning person and this article hits home for me every day.

Agreed, artificial consciousness. Not just can a machine paint an image that sells for $100K but it can ask the question why should it. The issue with decisions on that level is th…
