You can see as both as a way to bring solace to people so death doesn't looks so meaningless and as a way to justify suffering in this life because the next is so much better. Two sides of the same coin, compassion and tyranny inextric

It's actually a really good technique that everyone should be taught in their first swimming lesson or at school, even if you don't do any swimming classes. It's such an easy thing. Now, next thing is to make learning to swim

Pretty slick. A mc on steroid for a GUI world. Interesting that it was built in .Net and appears to be using WPF with a few improvements[1]. It also refers to Vanara[2] which looks interesting as a safe utility wrapper to the Windows API. [

I tend to agree with you that pragmatism wins the day where the Rpi is concerned. However, the lack of open hardware for the Rpi means that it is not possible to replicate one at all. You basically can't make a Rpi-compatible board to

Would Firefox Sync be an alternative? It could allow transparent use of Firefox and Chromium data with the same account with history, passwords, bookmarks shared and the rest of the options and add-ons segregated by browser. Firefox sync al

For those looking to make Rpi into RDP clients, there is TLXOS-RPi[1]. The license is cheap and it works in multi-monitor mode as well[2]. [1]: https://tls.thinlinx.com/store/index.php/thinclient/tlxos-rp... [

I think we can at least agree that despite his double-speak, the fact that he has been stirring his crowd to act on the 'steal' is not inconsequential. It seems unlikely that he would not have been briefed on the plots that were b

The Chinese people are not less ethical than any others and their government knows that. The way they keep people blind to injustice is to filter all narratives through the systematic surveillance of communications and push for more technol

Kuddos on your journey into building your modern/vintage hybrid! It doesn't need to compare to anything or be special. The only metric should be that it's fun and educational to you to build and hack this together and make it

Always a possibility but seems unlikely based on the efforts and cross-platform story that Blazor brings in. Silverlight required add-ons for all platforms to be pre-installed. That was too similar to Flash and Silvelight became obsolete as

Using the novel technology of the time (gramophone) to record hyper-local accents and witness someone discovering his own accent, probably one of the first ever to do so. It's an interesting turning point in the history of modern techn

Playing with an Amiga or ZX81 may be fun and in that regard you may be right that emulation is often enough if you just want to consume content and get a bit of nostalgia. However, there is something to be said about having to handle the ha

They should, and many do. Once you start peddling in calls to violence against people, no just ideas, then you should lose access to your platform and well deserve to be investigated. Being complacent with these things gets people killed. Y

Having an opinion you strongly believe in is not enough to make it true or right. The republicans have espoused a dangerous ideology that not just allows but welcomes factual untruths and a worrying disconnect from rational thought. There

It was meant to attack some representation of fundamentalist Islam. Most Muslims do not believe in the requirement for burqas and niqabs. There is no such prescription in the Qur'an itself, only a requirement for modesty that some fu

It's banned (not just in France) because there is are existing laws against face-covering and religion is not above that. There is also a perfectly rational thinking behind a reciprocity of rights: if you can see me but I can't se

What do you mean Religion is banned in France? I'm curious about what sort of twisted broad exaggeration and misunderstanding do you have to believe to drop something like that?

The trick is maybe not to expect it from the government but from those who work in it. Everyone has something that can be used against them. If not legally, at least as leverage, blackmail or just to impersonate or humiliate. Enough to dest
