Because your palate gets saturated by sweet and as such many things that have a low sugar content are not appealing to you anymore. For example, when I was younger I was the only one in the family who drank soft drinks. Every time my mother

The psychological aspect is the biggest one. Even using artificial sweeteners that might have no effect on the body, you are still accustoming people to a completely skewed level of sweetness in foods. Someone who drinks Coke Zero every day

In my country we have a strong separation between a CS degree and a SWE degree. As a SWE graduate I was expected to know tons of maths, physics, control theory, signals analysis, circuit theory, electronics, telecommunications networks and

well, that's another problem. there is a difference between what the developers see and what the users see. the developers should have access to the updated API/ABI code and maybe some migration documentation in order to update th

Not a problem for free software, just update the old code if stuff breaks ;)

If many surnames came from people's professions, does that mean that one of his ancestors was simply considered to be... good enough?

>These features aren't abandoned, they're used by millions across the globe. abandonment refers to the lack of support, not lack of usage

If we fined businesses that use unsupported proprietary software they would either have to move to something proprietary and actively maintained or collectively crowdfund an open source alternative.

1. if the tweet was from someone outside of the government then creating a mastodon instance does not make any sense 2. if the tweet was from the government then why couldn't they also put up something on a webpage on their own sites?

backwards compatibility is the cause for all of this, and it's a bitch to deal with in an ideal world every time you need to break compatibility you would provide extensive documentation and make migration as painless as possible. this

but the problem is that Mastodon is not a service. they could just as well have deployed a static website with RSS feeds. also the fact that they allow other users on the instance seems pretty strange. shouldn't the only accounts be fr

I don't really understand this. Is this a state-operated social network for its citizens or is it a public announcements platform? Because if it's PA then going with Mastodon seems pretty excessive

You could have an extremely optimized text-only platform that would cost pennies to run and scale, but who would join?

Indieweb is by definition not sustainable. Either you are a generous person who is paying out of his pocket to host a platform, or you require people to pay for usage (or your platform it truly p2p but good luck with people having the means

Incredibly repetitive for being only 2 minutes long. We get it, VC funded social networks become worse over time so you have to periodically jump ship to something new, which will quickly let you down again once it gains critical mass.

As long as smartphone device drivers are proprietary there will be an upper limit of how much a phone can be updated. Not to mention that Android and iOS get more computationally intensive each version way quicker than Desktop OSs do. Windo

You people are never happy. Maybe if phones costed $10k a company could afford such a team of engineers to keep Android as updated as upstream AOSP

You are confusing the face scan for FaceTime calls with the one they'll do at the store for optimal fitting

Devil's advocate: most health problems in developing nations are the basic stuff we solved 100 years ago in the west. An AI that can detect when to give someone a dewormer or some vitamines or something else without occupying a doctor

Fitting a headset is nothing like fitting an armband. If you are going to buy it you will need to try it and get it customized at point of sale
