    If a recession is bad enough some will panic and pull it all out. The reality is that crypto is not essential—it’s convenient and has potential but it’s value is backed by what? Ot…

    In my opinion if social media is important to society the way it seems there should be a government funded social network for users and businesses. In the USA like NPR and PBS. The…

    Instagram could be use as a “snapshot” of the real thing. If I were a photographer I would use it to hook folks into browsing the full version on my website (and buy prints if they…

    Why not skip the keywords altogether and use an ACTUAL λ symbol. Funny thing we have UTF8 everywhere but no one uses it… People are still typing ASCII in markdown files, but there’…

    Context is important though. For instance, developers applying for management position with no management experience. In other words just because they work at a company does not me…

    I personally have language fatigue after playing with various languages over two decades. The thing I hate about rust is abbreviated keywords like “fn” and “mut” because it sounds …

    Hence the musing… when you muse about something you want to keep it loose exploration no?

    I’m not trivializing history just calling out all the pundits who armchair complain about people’s good-natured blog posts.

    Well Bitcoin will die anyway because Ethereum actually does something useful and they’re onto Proof of stake. Honestly folks should pull their money out and invest in something tan…

    I think the article is more of a musing than a mathematical proof… I mean who has the time to deep dive into 100% historical accuracy of these things. I thought it was a neat look …

    Interesting technical problem/solution. Another benefit is saving on millions of server computations when modern iOS devices have neural chips etc. I suppose folks who don’t like p…

    I don’t get the naming of said device. Brand identity is important and a Ploopy just doesn’t sound very serious. I mean, ploopy rhymes with poopy. The little mouse plooped a ploppi…

    I think there is because “rent” and “lease” implies your intent is to stay there short-term. “Buy” says you literally are buying the home whether it’s with your money or someone el…

    Whoever named it Comirnaty needs to stop taking Hydroxychloroquine.

    Nicely done! It’s a neat game. I wouldn’t call it a great tool because it’s impossible for me to interpret the music from the blocks themselves without playing it. That being said …

    Ah—yeah that makes sense. I would like to foray into better hardware territory at some point. There certainly could be a lot of value for all applications with quick mouse-triggere…

    Is there a reason why? Does OSX lock down the driver subsystem or something? Personally I don’t have a fancy mouse (just a cheap wired Microsoft one) because it’s hard to find good…

    Taking a step further, any nation could deliberately send a weaponized fleet to destroy satellites and then follow up with a ground strike.

    I think part of it is deregulation in the USA too. As has been mentioned it is sooo easy to sign up for credit cards because banks want citizens drowning in debt. When I lived ther…

    Technically I own my iPhone but the software is licensed to me (not a lawyer but that’s my understanding). We probably also sign something that allows Apple to do what they will wi…

    Inanimate objects stimulate the mind. Wooden blocks can become space ships, rocks mountains. I wouldn’t trade my imaginative childhood experience for any modern day app. No way.

    It’s going to be a global scale “north versus south” war like in South Park—everyone will blame Canada… and Satan will… err never mind. :)
