An important detail not covered here, is dates. Json doesn't support dates, so we use strings in whatever format. A good new configuration language should have dates. IMO. So far it seems like Json with comments =)

It's very funny to me that some comments before someone wrote that helix has the best multiple cursor implementation. I was curious about what could it be. Then you mention it doesn't have two essential behaviours that I am used t

Developer experience is not necessarily better with JS based stacks. In fact it can be worse than many, including modern C++. Of all the points you mention, compatibility with websites is probably the only one that can be considered exclusi

I wish I could upvote you more. This is the problem with the current generation. They are addicted to their phones, and want fast dopamine triggers, without actually putting the hard work.

Your laptop can be compromised during a trip to a foreign state, by state actors. Travelling back you would notice a microphone, and would notice nothing on the laptop.

About the personal stereo, Tidal gives me FLAC quality, and my wired Steelseries headphones provide much better audio quality than any stereo I had own last century. However, I don't own an iPhone, I have a Xiaomi with an audio socket.

This Monty Hall problem was asked to Marilyn vos Savant, a woman with an extremely high IQ, who solved it correctly, and many readers of her column, including PhD and mathematicians, declared her solution wrong. Then careful analysis proved

I used it in an old EEE PC laptop because of its lower resource usage compared with Ubuntu. Elementary is (or was at the time of testing) wasteful of screen real state, there are huge spacers on the toolbars and in a low resolution screen i

An abstract data type is a software design pattern. The difference is that design patterns are a technique where you use features not implemented by the compiler or language, and all the checks have to be done by the developer, manually. Th

I am using a private instance of Wallabag, it stores the "bookmarks", the metadata, optional tags, and saves a copy of the content that gets synced to my e-reader.

¿Effective? I don't understand your point. The sensation induced by binaural beats are based on brain waves synchronisation, basically we get control of the stick shifter of the brain, and we perceive the changes strongly, as they are

Now I see your point. You are an absolutist. If something is not 100% perfect and works for all possible cases, then it is immediately worthless. Language being in that category. I also disagree with your point and your arguments. So many s

The way I see it, Aristotle used language as a reasoning tool. Logic inference rules, modus ponens, and so on. Aristotle was also unaware of the incompleteness problem discovered by Gödel, that no reasoning tool of that type can be complete

You used too many words, and your argument depends on too many people, do you understand all of them?

Humans understand language at a level no AI does. We use it to serialize ideas, and we have the ideas independent of language. AI works on the serialization itself, which is very powerful because of the relationships between ideas are refle

Steam and WPS office work in Linux quite well. In fact I was able to open some huge Excel files more easily in WPS than in MS Office (I have a work laptop that runs Windows 11). But, I think you have a point, and that point is that the most

No, some dedicated hardware device, about five years old, that looks like a Game Boy. The flipper firmware is only about six months old, and it is still not as convenient and distributed. The actual firmware exploit is the same idea.

Macs were bad for gaming long before the software Apple Store existed. Steve Jobs was dismissive about gaming, even when PC gaming was on the rise, that's the reason.

I like that we talk about practice, and we need to add this to our learning. Even more now, when apprenticeships are a dying practice and everyone is vibe-working. But dismissing theories, and just saying “most theories are wrong, anyway” s

As a Windows gamer, it was the worst. Not the Xbox itself, if it was just the standalone device, but the way they had chosen to modify Windows to have Xbox compatible APIs, which are worse than the previous Windows APIs. The enshittificatio
