   Question: are you familiar with Hangul? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul ) If yes, ask yourself why it (or other similar "featural" systems) are not dominating other "less efficient/expressive&q

   Not exactly what you are asking here (if I understand correctly) but I have been using historio.us for a year or so and I am happy with it.

   I just managed to convince a very small (4 not including me) group to move our whatsapp channel to Signal. So far complaints have been: - Lack of support for markdown (as in bold, italic etc.) - Poor support on windows desktop (on this I ca

   Can anyone suggest a collaborative multiplayer game in the same vein? (Apart from No Man's Sky which is the only title I know already)? Especially during lockdown I am trying to convince geographically disperse friends to spend some ti

   I see you point but I think you miss something. Stocism was based on the idea that a human being is always part of a society and as such they have sn obligation to work as good citizens. Therefore no, even if something more effective than w

    For people whose first language is not English maybe translating the book could be a good substitute (never tried this approach personally though)?

    Just tested for Germany (where I am living currently) and it is not very good: at the map level it shows the correct street number but it seems unable to use it for actual route planning (i.e. if you are in a street with numbers from 1 to 2

    My problem with this approach is that my system basically handles a complex inventory and allows complex orders out if it, orders you can modify/update/cancel over a very long (months) period. So we do have data warehouse for stra

    (Almost) Everything is "possible" - but looks pretty inefficient to do this. So are MS relevant/appropriate when you are trying to push stuff through the door at a very fast pace, but have to go back to something more "m

    This is exactly what always made me very skeptical about microservices (as I said, no actual experience so I might just change my mind if I start using them) - for any non-trivial problem reasoning about your data in a integrated and cohere

    From what I understand (never actually worked with MS, so no hands-on experience) a "proper" MS architecture will also include separate data persistence layers for each service. I.e. if your service manages persisted data, it will

    This is a common problem when you receive csv from someone working in a different country: comma is a decimal separator in some cases (e.g.: Germany) so Excel will automatically switch to semicolon for separators. So now your colleague in t

    Try the first book from the New Sun cycle to see if you like the style. If yes, you'll have 4 more to enjoy. If not, give Soldier of Mist a try (style is still great but more terse).

    Can anyone clarify what "allergies" mean in this context? I have a (now really mild) allergy to some pollen; as s child it made me miserable for two months (late April to early June) with nose constantly running, puffy eyes. Now I

    I think he missed wifi/cell phones, mostly. Had he thought of that, he would probably have explored these themes a bit more. In Neuromancer there is an episode (second half, when they have already moved away from Earth surface) where a

    Good points! Do you know of any resource where these kinds of "software will eat hardware (and bite your hand)" are discussed/listed?
