    This looks great, thanks

    Interestingly enough the issues you list seem related to capitalism rather than just any form of societal system. Many literary utopias have non-capitalist systems but usually some…

    This is great news and has a much larger impact than the featured feature IMO.

    Well technically they would just be Europeans.

    This looks really nice, well done! I never could get used to jq's syntax so instead I've just been grepping. But this looks to be for jq what htop is to top, which is great for exp…

    IMO Python imports behave like the bash source command. This is why people use the `if __name__ == "__main__"` so the majority of people will address it in all their scripts even i…

    In my unqualified opinion the usability of e.g. phpBB forums (discussing through the browser) was much better than calling up a local BBS on telnet. Multilevel prompt menus in teln…

    As a novice, R is really fun too because it operates differently than general purpose languages (it's all about matrices).

    While I appreciate the sentiment, I feel you're missing the point. This is akin to maddox's writing. It aims to strike a nice balance between satire and self-immolation, but might …

    People who shout about ancient aliens and hidden technology always completely ignore that the people in the past had access to the most advanced machinery available: humans. Add ti…

    The AI part is local. I believe it's used for coarse image categorization and face recognition. Providing face recognition sans a cloud seems like a big selling point to me.

    As a self-taught coder, I've experienced many times how highly skilled software engineers groan and sweat when they encounter shell scripts. I don't understand why, but it seems li…

    I think you could use pytest plugins `pytest-mock-server` or the `responses` plugin to achieve at least a partial coverage of your fake server idea.

    I seem to recall Golang being inspired by it too, but I could be misremembering.

    Apparently there have been cases of sexual intercourse on the ISS, so we could potentially have a human conceived there.

    Tbf it doesn't default to the really slow snaps. Instead it defaults to the dreadfully slow flatpaks.

    Arguably it's a technological solution (or temporary workaround) to a political problem. In a liberal democracy, it makes sense that its use cases are mostly criminal, because the …

    Our dating style did have this kind of communication too, in declaring one's intentions. Either we've forgotten, discarded it or could be the result of a more nomadic lifestyle. I'…

    This gave me a chuckle: > [case insensitivity... so] both beGIN and BEGIN are interpreted the same way. This was also characteristic of the time, as programmers programmed their co…

    Should also mention that on YT the situation is unbearable. I use pihole but was unable to use it properly for YT ads. I have kids that sometimes get to watch something on YT. I ca…
