I'm from NZ. It's also risk averse, and a single economy and currency of 5 million people 2100km away from any other economy of note sounds a lot more 'fragmented' than anything in the EU.

This discourse is so tiresome. There are low crime jurisdictions on this planet that do not have drug epidemics. We know what policies work. They're not pretty, but they're effective. Harden your heart and implement them, or live

One of my favourite bits is how embarrassed he sounds about calling it the "mouse".

you can use yt-dlp and mpv to watch youtube vids. Still need to find the URL yourself but you don't need their website to watch it.

I find BBC articles to be so hopelessly biased they're not really worth reading.

by LAC-Tech 3y ago
The BBC is a weird publication. They never use interesting language, yet they always make it very clear who they do and don't like.

I have a kensington expert mouse (big finger operated trackball), and I find the scroll ring very enjoyable for that.

Question for mac users.. how would you do the shortcut "Ctrl+shift+r" (refresh page and clear cache)? On a standard keyboard, for me, it's: - left hand little finger on left ctrl - left hand ring finger on shift, to the right

I think maintaining their independence was "winning outright" for them.

The author won me around to his point of view. If 15 years later this is the state of things, it's really time to cut your losses and admit the idea wasn't that great in the first place. As an aside I am not sure the linux desktop

Do any front end developers actually subscribe to the "rule of least power"? I was a frontend dev for a few years but I was stuck at the fringes because I wanted to do things as simply as possible. I always wondered if there exist

That's beautiful. Nothing intelligent to add, just a very neat, clever and aesthetic project.

Those aren't facts on the ground, they're legal fictions for another country. Have you been to an un-recognised country before? I have. It's just... a country. Currencies, police, military, border security. Those are the fact

The important thing is - Firefox has been slowly dying for a decade and SQLite has taken over the world.

I feel like you missed the point of GP. There's been many situations in history where enough people stopped believing in their country and suddenly the shared fiction was no more. East German police, judges and tax collectors had a lot

I go by a de-facto interpretation. That way a country isn't defined by people wanting or not wanting to accept reality, but rather by facts on the ground.

Firefox fought against WebSQL. Firefox then re-implemented indexedDB with SQLite on their own browser. Firefox has now largely faded into obscurity.

Sad for google to fold like this. Though very true to form.

I don't find qt or gtk to be much different to whatever the windows one is called now. And the unix window managers are far superior. But still, the commandline is forever.

Kissinger was a truly awful and hypocritical human being. Despite being a refugee from a murderous regime, he sat around and cracked jokes with a dictator whose body counts was in the multiples of the dictator he fled from. The "rappro

It's so strange that as far back as the 80s a lot of the criticism of unix is that it wasn't "graphical". Meanwhile in the year 2023 AD I've moved more and more of my workflow to the terminal to escape the rapidly c

I don't "support Arabs" (or Israelis for that matter) - these aren't sports teams, they're groups of human beings. Nor do I get my Israel scepticism from "drive-by social media" posts. Much of it is from s

I may offer myself as an example. As a young man I was generally pro-Israeli, I can remember a teacher in high school telling us about how great Israel was the morning after 9/11, how they fought all those wars against Arabs who hated

wow... so in response to 1400 people being murdered what do you believe the correct response should have been Those figures are from Israeli sources[1]. We must be careful using figures from active combatants to assess something. To parap

The one thing that I think has changed between now and the last time there was a major conflict is that the internet exists. I would put it slightly differently. News has been more democratised - and we can argue whether that's good

Sorry, I don't think this kind of fear mongering propaganda works anymore. Say what you will about the younger generation, but I think they can see through this idea that funding Israel somehow protects them from theocracy at home.
