A decade? That's nothing. macOS had a compositor 22 years ago , and Wayland still isn't as good. A bunch of unpaid amateurs just isn't good at moving humanity forward. At least the Linux kernel has some truly paid contribu

This article is based on StatCounter, and I would like to see evidence that StatCounter data is reliable. Their historical data is all over the place and probably includes a lot of bot activity. I would be surprised if Linux desktop usage s

Look beyond a five or ten year time horizon. More housing has been built continuously in the US for hundreds of years. Berkeley has existed for more than 150 yesrs. Did all of this building lower prices? No. It just encouraged people to hav

Building more housing is like building more freeways. It doesn’t work. Within a generation, housing costs are back to normal Levels—but now everything is uglier, there is less nature, and the earth suffers. Urban jungles and tenement slums

If the author wants to use the web but doesn't want advertising, they can install an ad-blocking plugin for mobile Safari. This rant is irrational.

Nope. It took three years to update a tunnel in my local area. Even now, other streets I've sampled which less than ten years old are wrong. What you're saying is that government data is good, which OpenStreetMap has taken. But th

Competitors don't have access to the process node. You'll get competitors, but they won't be as fast or able to run the latest models. That means they'll compete with older versions of NVIDIA's chips.

28% of vehicle fatalities in Amsterdam are cycling related. Deaths do happen. If you’re arguing that these behaviors are, in fact, safe, I would disagree strongly. The U.S. drives large trucks at high speeds because the U.S. isn't very

It's actually more tha bikes don't have license plates, and aren't pulled over and ticketed by cops. The anonymity drives lawlessness.

Cycling is dangerous when mixed with cars, for sure. But blazing through at an intersection full of cars which are expecting you to stop is even more dangerous. Stop sign rules exist for a reason (to slow vehicles down enough that everyone

Sure, have fewer stops. But even if you separate the routes, cyclists will eventually have to stop somewhere (even for other cyclists), and they won’t want to.

It's simple selfishness. Cyclists don't want to lose their momentum. Coasting is fun and exertion is not; humans evolved to minimize their energy expenditure. To fix that, you'd need to redesign the bicycle to be completely b

Starlink adds a latency penalty of tens of milliseconds going through the atmosphere. Each round trip is four hops through the clouds. I expect most of this delay is forward error correction, combined with lower bandwidth of the radios. On
