Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

This is a honest question, but may I ask what you found to be hard about it? For long I was scared of it because so many people say it's crazy complex. But actually it took no more than a dozen of hours for me to learn it and get a wor

Not having a v2.0 does not mean it's old, it just means that they did not break backward-compatibility since then.

With our current knowledge and technology, you are right, but nobody knows what we might discover in the future. Even if FTL were indeed impossible, I think pursuing it would bring interesting discoveries and technologies.

I think the other way around: we don't have the knowledge or technology to even make a reasonably feasible teleportation theory. Once we colonize the solar system, the next frontier to explore will be interstellar travel. I think resea

In French we used to have "le site du zéro". It was a very popular collaborative site with a ton of free courses for beginners in (mostly) programming. Today it feels that it just became a somewhat bland and nothing-special corpor

As a developer, I can say that this is maybe possible, but not easy. Because so many things have to be hardcoded in the manifest, the code and UK gets complicated and messy quickly if you try to workaround to provide both ways.

Ironically the only time I wanted to use this feature was to separate my accounts related to my project and browser extension. Except that the mozilla 's site does not care about your privacy. Whether you use containers or not, they au

Brave is getting more and more my attention lately. I didn't migrate yet, but I am very impressed. The freshness and innovation reminds me of Opera in the early 2000. I have been a loyal user of Firefox ever since I quit Opera (ironica

Given that aws just built DocumentDB, I am not sure if the licensing changing anything. I would even say that this choice actually hurts MongoDB because I am less likely to choose it since they have less practical hosting solutions.

For me all the old accents feels similar, so it reminds me of some Louis-de-Funès movies. My grand-parents still today have a similar way of speaking as well. It is not only the accent, but also the pace and vocabulary. Also, nowadays every

Truth is, Japan is a country with a lot more freedom than most western countries, so it is not surprising to find weird things or things that most people would find unethical. You can certainly trash 99% of the "weird Japan" stori

Here in Japan literally everyone uses LINE and it is far better than WhatsApp. Way more features, it's independent and the business model is sane and clear. I just switched my family to it, because that was the last reason for me to us

I rarely use Google nowadays, but I was a bit surprised that I could hardly find search results anymore. 90% of the page does not contain actual results, and I have to scroll down for a long time to actually see it. Has it become common for
