It is really great for the wildlife after the drilling is done though, as the windmills tend to make the area safer against fishermen.

There was what? At least three boom and bust cycles involving railroads. Do we have any good reason to believe the computing revolution will be nicer? So far we've had one bust. We…

Forced on who, by who? It is the DE/WM people that is driving the thing.

I'd argue that any type system that don't support enforcing non-nil/nullability is not strong in any way and probably worse than not having any type system at all as they give a fa…

The fun part is that the argument holds just as true for humans that write code - we also run tests to verify our work! Which is basically what people liking dynamic languages have…

That is great, but it also sets the stage for actual fiber to be drawn as it is vastly cheaper to connect to an existing end user network than to build it up from scratch. When a c…

Crystal don't have the dynamicity but has macros to get the next best thing. Most meta magic in Ruby in good code are done at startup anyhow so you don't miss out on that much. YMM…

It is not prohibiting guard rails. It is prohibiting Siri getting preferred treatment to bypass said guard rails

The third option is: launch in a way that is compliant with EU rules everywhere. Except they don't want that as they want to retain their outsized market power.

This is a competition law, not a privacy law.

What are you talking about, DMA has passed in the parliament.

Market pressure is a pretty strong obligation to their shareholders. I expect Apple to fold, eventually.

Energy from coal in China decreased last year. The change is happening very quickly.
