How do you check your Youtube subs without getting the cookie and Google knowing exactly who you are on each of their sites? Have to switch back to Firefox to get containerization?

With that logic we should ban cars and vacation flights, and only use ships, public transport and electric taxi service. Which I'm not entirely opposed to but some other people might be.

I would single out both Krita and Blender. Both are fantastic projects that really elevate what you can do artistically with free software.

For what it's worth: My biggest product came just from a random easy project that happened to touch a very large market and a growing user-base with a need. It was quite boring and trivial. But very annoying library and space. My bigge

Does the average mathematician have any incentives to create easily understandable explanations for their equations and algorithms? Ones that engineers can use to implement various ideas.

Is it just me or is any and all "Web3" "blockchains" just regulatory arbitrage to fly under the radar of the local government to enable more innovation?

>And once you entered the game, the only way for you to not lose money is to find a greater fool who will take over your crypto"currency", everyone who owns some becomes a proponent of it. It's an ingenious scam. Yes, that

No matter how seriously you take science, research and knowledge, evolution is merciless. Given a strategy that uses less resources to reproduce, that strategy will win over time. It's so obvious that it feels like a tautology. Science

Would be really nice to have an actual cross platform GPGPU library. It's really holding every kind of progress back to have only vendor lock-in. Maybe WebCPU will be capable of compute to the extent that CUDA isn't necessary. ht
