I personally think that Brave New World isn't wealthy, or technically advanced, enough to be post-scarcity. But it's an interesting tangent. I think a better dystopian depiction would be in Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sk

Don't be obtuse. You know they meant they declined to cooperate should the DA pursue charges, and that "decline to press charges" is a popular phrase, if not technically correct. (And if not, you should.)

In the Culture, those are the people who join Contact/Special Circumstances, so they get what they want too.

I would agree for communication, but not art. It's kind of telling that King, whose writing nobody has ever accused of being high art, is saying this. Don't get me wrong, I like King, but using obscure words is a valid artistic ch

An interesting take on running an open-source business, with a lot of references to HashiCorp's situation. The tl;dr is to evaluate each piece you write, to see who it helps if open-sourced, and keep it closed if it only helps your com

If they're time-limited and/or recall-able, then is it accurate to say they're "dictators", though?

Even for leaner websites, HTTP/2 was always going to be an improvement, for HTTP head-of-line blocking and better header compression, if nothing else. These are orthogonal issues for the most part. Also, they tried prioritization, but

I don't know what the problem is precisely, but I suspect the issue lies somewhere other than the browser's standard HTTP version negotiation. I think this because, when I was testing Postman, if I set up my web server to support

I don't see why. Electron's based off of Chromium, which should be able to speak http/2, no?

A surprising number of these tools don't support HTTP/2, sadly. That includes HTTPie, Postman, and RapidAPI, last I checked.

Not a whole lot, but the connection identifier will probably make it much more seamless when your phone switches from wifi to mobile networks. Right now, that's somewhat disruptive; with QUIC, you might not even notice.

The thing is, just updating the name/artifact is a half-assed solution required by existing packaging solutions with a flat and/or non-versioned namespace. If more packaging solutions allowed for graceful coexistence of multiple l

Because I've seen what happens when they become not-so-benevolent. It's better to think of yourself as a shepherd, visionary, leader, etc. Mentally framing yourself as dictator affects your thinking. In short, BDFLs can more easil

There are limits to how far stats can compensate for missing data, especially non-random missing data.

Well, Unicode's Han unification process kind of screwed Japan, so that's somewhat understandable. It makes it hard to use Unicode for historical documents with older variants, documents using more than one CJK language (like talki

Anyone seeking to become a dictator, benevolent or not, shouldn't get the job. FOSS has enough issues with people who were merely anointed dictators.

> The company that released a computer with only a single usb-c port wasn't moving towards usb-c all along? Definitely not in phones, because Apple is the laggard in this case. Many Android phones were already USB. Also, there was t

It's a little ironic they tout how they're moving to the USB-C standard when they had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to it.

Cool finding. I'm more familiar with the primate literature, so I looked over the study and the book summary. The Herman study was published in 1984, which was already a few years after the collapse of most of the primate language effo

Ummm, your comment is true, but unrelated to the parent comment you're responding to. They're saying the word "metaphor" is incorrect, and that the original comment is describing "irony".
