   I remember 2004, when ads on the web were incredibly annoying. There was (loud) sound, and half the information was buried under ads for certain pages. Me being a teenager back then, decided I've had enough after a late night gaming se

   I don't feel gated at all by my linux installation. If I want I can customize everything, but at least I don't have to deal with a thousand installers and update processes on a day by day basis.

    First world country, middle of Europe, Java everywhere. And C#. Saw Python last at university and just because I wanted to. I know nobody that works with Python on a day by day basis and I know many nerds like me :)

    So, for a smart home where some parts are actually, well "hidden" in the building you find if feasible to just upgrade? I mean, how much could a house cost, right? Stuff like this should be forbidden. Non-experts simply cannot fat

    Interfacing with hardware means you have to drop to "unsafe" rust at some (few) points. "Unsafe" rust isn't named good, because it's still safer than e.g. C. Some invariants you cannot break in rust, no matter

    This is on nvidia or as I say "nie wieder" for "never again" I haven't bought an nvidia powered device since 2007 and am using amd exclusively since 2011. No regrets. Open source drivers rock!

    That's why you add a "why" in any rule or law. If you add this, you clarify the intent and can meaningfully declare exceptions like "no rules in the park because people come here to relax. Of course if a vehicle is neces
