We're not going to agree here, we're going to descend into stupid walls of texts. I'll give you one more, but I probably wont respond. It's not personal, it's just not valuable for either of us. > There was no “d

I don't disagree with anything you're saying apart from the last few words. The solution to this problem is the same it has been for literally centuries: archiving. The whole point of an archive is that it's out of the way an

I don't really like this. I think the author let their own personal issues lead to the destruction of knowledge. I relate to the issues, but the nuclear option seems extreme. They could have just left their library for a bit, there was

I don't think that applies for microgrids, or at least, it's not really an issue in my case. I know what you're talking about though: I think that more applies to generators that are operating with megawatts and take time for

The unfortunate truth is that approach does work, sometimes. It's really easy and common for capable engineers to think their way out of doing something because of all the different things they can think about it. Sometimes, an unreaso

That's fair, thanks for the explanation, I understand your comment a bit better now, apologies for the poor comprehension on my part. I am a bit familiar, have been looking at the FP5 as a next phone, so will probably buy an FP6 assumi

I find this comment really irritating, sorry. This is a thread about the upcoming fairphone, with people praising things done right. Your comment feel needlessly provocative with no information other than your negative opinion. You've

I relate to this quite a lot, and I've met a few different people over my career that I feel have the same gut intuition or instinct for systems. You know almost instantly when you meet them in the field, often within a few sentences.

I agree with the dev, I don't want it to get lost in the sea of toy operating systems. That's not relevant to my original comment. You've overlooked my point. I think you're the problem in this instance, and the majority

I feel like I'm not communicating my point well and you're misunderstanding. Decline is inevitable. Not universal decline though. I believe we'll move forward as a species, but that overall progression is made up of lots of g

Sorry, this comment blows my mind and it's important to me that you understand why. Someone appears to have written an operating system from scratch. I've just spent 30 mins going through the commit history of it. This is an incre

Yeah, that's what I was referring to mainly - frontend frameworks to help manage complex state in the browser. If you want complex state in the browser, using vanilla JS to do the same clientside state and rendering becomes tedious: it

I agree, modern browsers, CSS and JS can do so much now. However, the frontend build systems are often complex to do complex state management. Sure, it's possible to reimplement it all and accidentally end up rewriting your own vanilla

I guess it comes down to world view, since we can never know the answer: when a human has everything they need, including enough bandwidth, how many will care by default vs being apathetic by default. If they care by default, all we need to

I agree, I think it relates to the number of channels we're exposed to at any one time. Think about the rate at which that has changed over the past 20, 200 and 20,000 years. Now think how our biology has changed to handle that. And th

This looks like a really cool little CLI script, and I could see myself using it as a regular CLI tool instead of whois and Googling. It looks really good, it gathers a lot of extra info, and uses a bunch of highly regarded external sources

FYI, this is currently a dead link - wasn't sure if typo, so googled and confirmed, looks like you're down at the moment. Hopefully not a painful fix on a Sunday.

I don't think the author is necessarily advocating the throwing away of code here, they're advocating the value of being able to rapidly prototype and move on from seemingly incomplete things. The whole value proposition of the d

It took me a read or 2 to really make sense of this. I can see the use and value of it. The thing that I found really confusing was seeing "Docs Like Code". I've never really heard it said that way, and seeing it written down

Why wouldn't you believe it? It makes economic sense. The most expensive part for a scammer in any automated scam is the part which can't be automated, where a human has to get involved for e.g. a phonecall. Economically, the scam
