The eleven day figure features in multiple animated infographics in Jarred's blog post; https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust , including a calendar that shows commits over 11 days. > I…

You should try it again. I had a similar experience to you about 5 years ago and completely gave up on game streaming. However, I had a cold a month or so ago and wanted to play Ox…

Did they walk back that thing where certain language features could only be used by the Elm team? That seemed like a language-killer to me.

Unfortunately the AI bubble means we are witnessing the death of PC gaming. Watch the GamersNexus video, The Collapse of Personal Computing: https://youtu.be/zyQwAhppWj8 Costs are …

Yes, I tried saying this to both GingerBill and Casey on Twitter but they were unreceptive. I understand their frustrations and I think Wikipedia does have sourcing gaps for projec…

Encyclopedias are not designed to report on pop culture. The entire nature of an encyclopedia is to be downstream of good secondary sources, ideally academic, and summarise what th…

Interesting article (I tend to agree with you re SNG in the programming field). But unfortunately I couldn't easily absorb the substance as your site needs some work on mobile: - t…

Not every topic will be covered yet . While *The deadline is now* is an essay, *WP:NOTNEWS* is policy — and inherent in an encyclopedia.

Recent Wikipedia articles are kind of an oxymoron; Wikipedia by design is meant to be a tertiary source, downstream of both news media but also mainstream scholarship. The problem …

Unfortunately to survive the next few hundred years, we may need another dictator of human behaviour than what the market wants.

Rewritten *into* Flutter? People should be rewriting away from Flutter.

That's a useful strawman for this issue, but you know as well as I do that none of those bogeymans were anywhere near as transformative as the smartphone. They were not networked, …
