I wonder if thinking in a binary way (convenience over freedom) is a good description. I bought mobile devices that I could root over the ones that I couldn't. I favor companies th…

For some projects specification is also hard because of interdependence between modules or data or parts of the project. To which you might answer "make more tests". And we turn in…

Lots os engineering projects took as long as you mentioned because they were horribly specified. Then the engineer either waits for an answer (which they generally do not get) or t…

From what I see most benefits are for people that work with LLMs, but usually smaller percentages never 50% or more because of the LLMs (OK, unless you were doing basic, repetitive…

I see OSM as a mapping application. It is in the real world, publicly visible for a long period of time, and there is no law preventing sharing the information (like military stuff…

You could share it here and let more people remove the spam sites. If everybody removes a couple in no-time all will be removed. Which is probably what might happen if you would ha…

Look into cancer survival rates : https://www.cancer.org/research/acs-research-news/people-are... , to quote "Decades of cancer research have provided health care professionals wit…

I feel this is a case of "perfect the enemy of good". Looking at the output (scientific progress in biology, medicine, material physics, etc.) the "something" seems to have worked …

Humans as a species are rather adaptable (based on the number of climates and ways of life they adapted to on earth). Finding the type of human that would thrive in the environment…

I think depends on the culture/country. In the US definitely the agreements are more flexible. In Europe (and probably elsewhere) I feel that the expectation was (at least some yea…

The profit by itself does not tell the whole story. There are loan repayments, investments and possibly other financial deals. > Founders who want to claim emotional connection to …

So how did the website of the place you moved to looks like? I don't understand what is so wrong with that website. I don't love it, I don't have it either. If you were looking for…

While I agree with the general sentiment (people not putting effort is a bad signal), I also think people are sometimes being too harsh. Everybody has limited time and resources an…

Possible and available without any specific configuration on my side (except creating the user) are different things. I know I managed it many years ago with some effort, but nowad…

I do not know since when (I am using it for couple of years), but in Arch, it is very simple to have two X sessions (by using "log out" > "switch user") for two different accounts,…

My opinions is that an idiotic government will use whatever data it can find, and we should be more worried that one appears than imagine that because they do not have some data th…

I think that the financialization of wealth is a problem of education not of the political system. People just do not understand how that is a problem and how it affects them. For …

For better their lives as well as the locals' life I think it is most of them. For feeling rewarded or fulfilled for doing that, I think depends on both the person and the country,…

I think that for the physical store example the overhead is already included in the object price, and probably a significant part of it. > If you want me to pay for your overhead o…

> it not only seems to be mostly written not by a regular users, but by people who contribute to CoMaps How did you evaluate that? I use CoMaps, I am not a contributor to it, but i…

Depends though what you pay for the one-time price. You can pay an offline version of the application (no extra costs afterwards), or a limited period of SaaS application updates (…

Don't you think there is a difference from "knowing how it works" and "reproducing every aspect of it at the level of the state of the art" ? Also, your example seems flawed if you…

I have similar experience with the poster, and the way I read it is, "from the things I build here are some examples". I did learn about advanced physics topics that enable transis…

I would add though that the opinion is not entirely irrational. For many people the state is inefficient, illogical, evil and goes after them without any reason (ex: think COVID re…

Sorry to hear about the moment of social anxiety (I assume it happens with humans occasionally). But can't wonder don't you have also moments of joy because of job well done, an ap…
