There use to be a mythological creature on irc from south America (sorry forgot the specifics) who was both a 10x dev and a 10x mathematician. One day he showed a picture of his computer. It was a low end laptop with a tft monitor and an ex

It is not like we have a choice. I forgot to mention that people also have different eye sight which further complicates things. Some set the font so large half the apps fail to fit. Before many people had one I see someone browse using an

On commodore 64 the screen is just a fixed size grid of characters. No one ever had issues making an ui. We pretend but flexible viewport size is not actually possible. If you are making a painting for example the size of the canvas greatly

I try to politely debate the proponents with each hype cycle giving them the benefit of the doubt. They lost the "lets get rid of tables" debate quite miserably. I would quickly slap something together in jsfiddle, they would try

Normal people enforce things not one of them thinks about. There is nothing absurd enough for them to do. If you question it they revoke your membership.

hah, my comment appears much more naive than I thought possible. WPS apparently has 80% market share in Chinese government and state owned enterprise. They used MS from 2000-2005, In 2006 they released Uniform Office Format (UOF) which MS d

For us it isn't a very big deal. We will dig out the data points with our bare hands if we have to. (in ways that would make a data analyst scream) For normal users the experience is more like ransomware.

Don't underestimate the rage from citizens who receive important documents and sheets in formats they can't open. Or you can open them but with a warning that some functionality might be lost. (reads like: you might go to prison)

HarmonyOS is gaining a lot of traction in China and has WPS pre-installed https://www.wps.com I've never used it but apparently it comes with ingame purchases.

I like the joke where windows 9,..10,..11 would eventually give us windows 1995 again. HP is like they assigned good people to the right task, had everyone make a draft, pulled it from their hands and declared it finished. The combined draf

It's a shame, the censorship process would make them look much more sane than they are. We do still get some opinions that seem worthy of burning someone alive but it would be better to get the full insanity on public display and score

From the Asian perspective perhaps, from Europe the appeal was/is the willingness to innovate and the sense of adventure. The more money people earn the more risk they are willing to take, the opposite of Europe.

Similarly, if you told people in the 80's that it would be the opposite in the future no one would believe it either. Not even the developers are very technical in the future! Woah, really? And they still manage to write good software?

Before one may begin to understand something one must first be able to estimate the level of certainty. Our robot friends, while really helpful and polite, seem to be lacking in that department. They actually think the things we've w

A decade or two ago I talk with a 90 year old who bought, sold and especially exchanged everything not bolted down since he was 12. He had a crappy shed he filled with all kinds of garbage/treasures. I wouldn't call it a business.
