A very abrupt ending to what could have been a very educative text aimed at people who want to know 'what to choose', how to reason, and where we are currently at. I'd love to read…

What a magnificent writeup. Much thanks, very useful, I always got a bit stuck on knowing about string types, their pitfalls and which to end up choosing, so I'm very happy with th…

Let me restate this for parent (or try to): this shouldn't be legal. At all.

Then that's what they will have to learn then isn't it?

Good article, but visually representing data differently from how it's stored in the database can be a huge PITA. A pet peeve of mine is real names as an example, Dutch family name…

My password is a single 'a'. Nobody will ever guess that one.

It argues the topic pretty well: xz is unsuitable for long-term archival. The arguments are in-depth and well worded. Do you have any argument to the contrary beyond "sour grapes"?…

Neat! Very handy for looking up issues remotely. It has a dependency on firefox, but on systems that have Nix, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

NixOS.

Terry Davis was clearly the mad scientist we didn't know we needed. He brought many useful insights to OS development. Maybe one day the seeds he planted will grow out to become a …

The question I've latently had for decades: "what's the difference between .COM and .EXE", is answered by this article. Great reading too, brings back some good memories about MS-D…

Great tip! zr seems very useful.

I think Google is preventing the monopoly themselves, by throwing megabucks ($450M per year) towards Mozilla's development of Firefox.

I love this. Can you earn their trust, as in, become pals with them? Or is this more of a human desire. It's probably mostly food based priorities to them.

Fantastic innovations. But where's the underline? :)

Alright, I'll be the one to ask the "what's next" question. What's next? A revival of Gopher?

Isn't it amazing how much things improve in so little time. Things used to go so slow, now they go exponentially faster.

I can fully relate to the criticism expressed, but does the article have to be that filled with expletives? I would argue that it could appeal to a far wider audience if the writer…

Not sure about the readership,though. But I think you're right with regards to the discussion - you only hear one side a lot which makes it appear that there is only one side which…

Thanks. People sharing amp links... it was only a matter of time, and really, really sucks.

So, no crash to speak of at all. Crash is when it devalues to a lot less than what we're seeing now.

Like what?

Good to know, I'll be sure to do just that. Much thanks.

Wish I could type with pleasure and low latency on my Android phone. Even on my HTC One M9 it's cringeworthy!

Coming from the Internet, how about you both back up your statement with some rationale?
