I have been using Firefox since 1.5 or so, and will keep using it because I value customizability. I keep Chromium around for web development, but it has a lot of issues with Wayland (not to be confused with XWayland) currently.

Most people live in houses with poor insulation and ventilation, because they either don't used to live in a hot climate or have air-conditioning. We don't build smarter because air-conditioning is cheaper, but a lot of people can

The internet was just as viable in 1995. We were doing commerce over phone lines using computers for 20 years at that point. By the time there was an internet nobody had a reason to question it, or desperately try to find use cases for it.

Fahrenheit is intuitive. 0°F is the lowest air temperature measured in a town called Danzig in winter 1708-09, and water boils at 212°F. 4°F is ammonium chloride brine, and water freezes at 32°F. These are ballpark figures, you need Celsius

Rust gives you freedom in designing a perfect long-running service, but if you are not doing it from scratch you will be relying on an async runtime like Tokio. Go's flawed memory model nonwithstanding this use case is simple enough to

I'm betting that hiring is harder for Rust. The post gives Go 3/5 for stability, and Rust gets 5/5 for it's memory safety benefits. The post says that memory safety was the primary deciding factor. Hello? Go and Node.js

In Zig print formatting is comptime (it is evaluated at compile-time). I find this so neat. You can also achieve comptime monomorphization (generics) and polymorphism (interfaces) this way. No macros or templates needed. https://

It does, but people do a good job at making a strawman of themselves. These bootstrap folks are out there, and they are here. And I'm not just talking about the libertarians, plenty of liberals have trouble seeing the bigger picture. W

There are plenty who thinks that people who can't buy an air conditioner are lesser and don't deserve one. Bootstraps and all. I like to look at the bigger picture, this will cause further instability in the world, which is bad fo

Any programming language with macros is done goofed in my book. I ain't no preprocessor. Zig does this right with compile-time code execution. C++ and Rust both suffer from trying to cater for every use case. They are the Holy Grail of

There is plenty wrong here, but the summary basically tries to pin it on Knouse when multiple women made complaints. One of the court filing had three accusers. I'm not a court to decide who is wrong here, but this does not look like a

The "article" is trash, it's basically a political bullshit about a poor cancer researcher being canceled. He was placed on leave after the investigation, and the report was damning. Many of his former colleagues and students

What nobody understands is that this is not happening strictly because of the war or the drought, but because of the fragility of the global food system, which simply cannot bear any shocks. https://iopscience.iop.org/articl

This is rather one sided. There was an independent investigation that uncovered a lot of sexist and predatory behavior in his lab. The guy is also not above data manipulation.

1. Monorepo is fine. Your customers (if it's a business) or employers (if it's a portfolio) won't care either way. 2. If it's an open-source project or a portfolio make it public. Just don't make the mistake of thin

What you are thinking is manufacturing versus services, what I'm thinking about is the distinctly B2B supply chain that includes both. Then there is B2C, which depends on the supply chain. The financial markets are used to facilitate t

I would argue that the supply chain is the economy, and the rest is fantasy if and when money can't make the supply keep up with the growing demand. Innovation used to save our bacon, but now you have to innovate just to stay in the sa
