That's a reasonable enough assertion! You could argue that exploration, migrations, colonization are but the emergent/complex behaviors described by more fundamental principles in psychology, sociology, biology. Conway's game

That's the general story of humanity. From the first settlements to the ever-away "final frontier" — somewhere between Moon and Mars as we speak. There is no doubt in the mind of any historian, psychologist or sociologist, IM

You'd be surprised how much stuff there is just in our neighborhood that we're unable to catch, yet. We mostly track dangerous stuff, the big enough - fast enough to destroy us, and we now have probably in the 6-7 figures objects

I've spent much more time than I care to admit researching calendars, the general counting of time from seconds to centuries — actually, ahem, from the Planck time unit to the age of the universe. I find that there would be elegance in

Oh you're probably right about this. It's probably integrated at the EU level now. However, a precedent in 1 one country isn't binding at the EU level, you'd have to attack at the Union level to force a Union-wide judgem

I do pretty much the same manually with Kanbanflow (columns represent days, leftmost is "now/current", rightmost is whatever's pushed later to my next sprint). I combine this with a pomodoro color-code for "short&#x

I did try that but there's way too much going on between these and low level, it was slow and just not a great experience to me.

I haven't looked much into it yet, but I really, really like what they do with Pinebooks. Heard only good things about them. Looking at the announced specs[0], the phone is very promising to me. I'll probably wait for a general re

I share a lot of your views but don't forget, this is only about the French market; in all likelihood Steam would either comply only locally (though other countries might follow suit, literally, especially in Europe) or pull out entire

Sailfish is definitely my next phone OS, and even though walking away from Google / Apple tentacles is one incentive, by far the biggest for me is that it runs Linux, complete with terminal etc. Oh the joy of just being able to grep, r

You're welcome, I really hope this helps! If you want to read books (level up!), I'd recommend this for early stage entrepreneurs: - The E-Myth Revisited, by Michael E. Gerber. Some of it is a bit outdated maybe, maybe, but it&#x2

Thank you for furthering my point. The base assumption of this study is: > “if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced spacefaring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization's technologies would be detectable

IMHO, Science is prodigy but not magic, so when we try to explain things that are way too complex or out-of-scale (whether big or small) relatively to us, the solution space is so incredibly vast that we might as well be guessing — science

OK. First off, the actual figure doesn't matter as much as the trend: if you tell me it's $400 the first month, down to $10 this month, it's worrying; but if it's a steady progression (more each month than the last), tha

Couple questions: - If it's not zero but "close", what's the little bit then? - What is your business model? How will the company eventually make money?

I've been reading (and writing) considerable amounts, pretty much every day all my life since I was 12-ish (and ~15), 37 as I speak. I'm cognitively no genius by any metric but certainly 'well capable' relatively to most

This is what they usually say, but in this case, what would that be? 1. joining one big name in cryptocurrencies and providing software for the chosen one exclusively? 2. creating their own thing, like Facebook did? 3. banning cryptocurrenc

Compared to most global city I've seen (NYC, Amsterdam, Zurich, German cities, Tokyo, Singapour, Bankgok, London...) I'd say Paris is of the least 'technological' kind. It's actually so distinct that as a nerd I jus

I think the "recent" move to web apps by Flutter may spark interest up quite a bit. It's effectively native performance for the web, Android and iOS in one codebase. Combine that with a language that's easy to pick up fr

Thanks for the advice/perspective; it definitely helped me decide how to proceed. I'll definitely make all changes at once, then. I'll experiment with both Dvorak and Colemak for the letter keys. Shorcuts are not much of a pr

Thanks a lot! I've searched a bit based on what you said and sort of found a point of entry into Colemak. It's very enticing. I'm not a touch typist yet (use all fingers but quite inconsistently I suppose, yet 'fast enou

Writing Rust in Dvorak on an EZ Ergo for a living is next-level techno-paradise to many a nerd. Kudos for that! Also, if by any chance you feel like sharing details about how, and in which order you made these transitions; things you wish y

I read this as a trivial 'truth' that I've internalized myself as well; but the way you worded it... makes me naively ask: doesn't it speak to the limitations or choices of XMPP itself then, not the idea of a common prot

Well it's also a pool, meaning it rotates, you get some, lose some, get some, lose some, etc. Maybe a dev will take 2-3 jobs to learn the trade (PHP here, Js there, some fundamental web stuff to top it off, and here's your "p

A fantastic DE experience indeed. Just some advice: public consensus is that if you don't want the bleeding edge of KDE, Kubuntu is basically just as good (KDE over Ubuntu) and reportedly is more compatible with various hardware — so i

As someone who studied law, I agree with your general sentiment. I was not implying that programmers do that. ;-) I would however temper your dismissal of "average grads": in lawmaking too, drafts may be written or refined by youn
