I have used Python in the past (around the 2->3 transition) and I'm interested in refreshing/modernizing. I like to go through ~kata sites like: https://codingbat.com/python https:…

Left out matrix as an alternative? Matrix is even more overwhelming than slack in the same sense that email is more overwhelming than lotus notes. Maybe overwhelming is fine if the…

Whenever you file a DMCA appeal with GitHub/etc you would have the option to file a takedown on the jack ass. Some projects doing it occasionally would trigger the right conservati…

The CC licenses should probably be adjusted to make a DMCA attempt a permanent revocation of license. That way DMCAs can flow in the opposite direction and people can learn things.…

Ah, you are too optimistic about the desktop in general. Landlines and desktops failed in the developing world first. It is contracting back to workstation users of old (STEM acade…

This isn't really a coherent statement. The DoD's rules do prevent this; the NSA refuses to follow DoD rules.

Reading the article of December 2nd it seems accurate to me. Ubiquiti was wrong about the scope, that the incident was external. It says the suspect was pretending to be a whistleb…

There are two main hurdles in consulting: 1. Sales time is free. Even with established clients they are likely to work project by project and expect detailed quotes/estimates and i…

Making OSes or browsers you are in a market share competition whether you like it or not because that dictates a lot about changes to how the environment deals with you in the futu…

Cool, it is a lot to start researching but you sound like you use a very similar style to things I am used to in other languages. On guice/gwizard/maven, if I understand correctly …

Hello, I used Java a very long time ago, like 1.6, and I'm wondering what using Java at work in ~web backend looks like today. What elements of your stack would you consider most i…

What's the use of being a shill for civilisation ending environmental policy? I think Dr. Strangelove himself demonstrates the character profile.. If the world is going to stick to…

I wonder if this will reawaken Vatican banker death investigations.

s/pro-Russian/pro-Putin? IMO pro Russian trolls are very cool but usually get imprisoned by Putin.

I'm not really seeing that difference in requirements. Most of the forums were trivial to find in all sorts of Google searches, allowing thousands of people to create a new unique …

In recent years it seemed to me like C# has become the cleanest choice among the mainstream languages one encounters in local job ads, etc. As someone who has used a lot of differe…

I guess, I kind of view this, and most modern developments, as the same tack-on that always happened with online games. You can no longer play according to the original/actual mech…

I kind of suspect he was doing it all to build his personal profile as a potential CEO or management "influencer". If it wound down quietly with no contracts as an explanation for …

Yeah, but there's no reason to think some weren't stacking up on his desk and managing an agency successfully working average contracts wasn't what he was after.

Flying cars were delivered and one flew until 1977: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerocar The FAA rejected the dream of normal drivers instead of trained pilots having flying cars,…

It's problematic to be pedantic about something that isn't true. A vaccine causes an immunity response. A therapeutic cancer vaccine is a vaccine because it relies on an immunity r…

I think you are using dichotomies inappropriately to invoke the standard biases that have trapped the Mozilla community. Something that competes with electron is not electron. Non-…

Thunderbird has always been their opportunity to demonstrate their stack is a general ecosystem, but it's headaches show that their stack isn't a good ecosystem for anything that i…

Can't I just replay the steps you save with a later starting point and sell a new work that was also incrementally made with a lot of "effort"?
