I think there’s a (fixable, if difficult) reason the FOSS world contributes such a small percentage of heavily-used end-user facing tools to our software landscape. We’ve got the commercial provided spanked on a lot of things, like web serv

Well, if the edges are the Japanese life expectancy of 84 and 0, then 80 does fall somewhere in the middle. So there should be some four-year-olds in this deck, too.

It’s kind of hilarious that anybody considers this “democratizing” creating media. How many people that need a video clip are going to be capable of running an open version of this themselves? The wonky “open” models aren’t even close. How

Maybe? No idea. I'm based in the US, and I know Telus Communications, the parent company is based in Canada. I have no idea if this is even something that would violate a regulation, let alone who to report it to, or how that would cha

Telus International! Not exactly a sketchy fly-by-night entity, and their job postings for these gigs are all over the place. I guess that after all these years we find out that Telus is really short for Teluseverything. I completed the sur

I'm so happy seeing this technology flourish! Some call it hype, but this much increased worker productivity is sure to spike executive compensation. I'm so glad we're not going to let China win by beating us to the punch tan

In the real world, evil is a morally lazy concept for people unwilling to consider that some abhorrent behavior that adults must be held accountable for also has root causes that we might have some culpability in. Pretending bad behavior ha

Got a lot of use out of his site over the years. What's nice about it is that he's so friendly. I get mixed vibes from various bike communities though. I always enjoy the folks in bike shops in the cities I live in. I'm defin

In the US, many people I know have been periodically inundated with scam robocalls... in Mandarin! They spoof a number very close to your own which is a dead giveaway in a larger metropolitan area but probably pretty effective in rural area

I wonder what sort of person is aware enough of DDoS attacks to want to buy one, savvy enough to find where to buy one, yet dumb enough to pay with PayPal. Or accept PayPal if you ran such a service. Given, it says the people running it wer

For example: "This makes a lot of sense to me. Because order and variety is what we experience in nature. For example, trees and mountains follow recognizable patterns, they have shapes that allow us to categorize them. Yet each tree

You can write whatever you want. If someone who knows more pointing out that you're off-base is that much of a deterrent, you're probably right to avoid it. As I said above, I'm far beyond the point in life where I feel the n

I think Dezeen is a great place to start to keep up with things. When you get a little deeper, you'll have a better idea of where to look for more in-depth books, etc. that are more specific to your areas of interest.

That's because I wasn't talking about design: I was talking about expertise. My professional discipline shares some baseline knowledge with architects and I enjoy architecture, but I am not an architect. I know enough about it to

I like Dezeen, Arch Daily, and The City Fix for more urban design type stuff.

Completely separating styling from content seems dogmatic in this context. It certainly makes sense when working with long documents with standardized style, or ones that need to be processed with code, but I don't think that really ap

Maybe a good step would be figuring out a way to not immediately commodify all human activity and then smugly tell the affected to learn how to do something new when their life's work is rendered obsolete by technology.

We just need to give the AI memories from real people and give them a life span short enough that they won't realize it... and then if they go bananas and start causing harm, make another AI to terminate them... I swear I have heard th

Why do these articles always attract glib and judgemental comments from people who have no personal experience with type 2 diabetes and whose study of the issue amounts to "a few things I read about this a while ago."

I agree that getting rid of federation is not the answer. However, it will be little more than a source of neato developer projects as long as new projects try to get users to think about it, let alone understand it, nevermind actually nee
