   I wanted to answer with an angry reply but I decided against it, I would however love a little more context to your comment so I can understand. What does it mean? Do you think this person is lying about the taste for some nefarious reason?

   I gave Firefox a lot of tries, some times for months, some times for years. Now I'm back to, out of all things, Microsoft Edge. It's been a good experience, and I found the privacy settings (in Europe distribution anyway) a pleasu

   Exactly what I was talking with a friend about yesterday. I really believe we're two orders of magnitude away from having really useful smart home assistants. The kind that 'understand' your intent. And it's a bit mind b

   I'm a job hopper. The natural progression for me was to follow my curiosity to new projects and new challenges until I no longer sell my 40hrs / week to a single company but I handle the issues of multiple companies. I'm thin

    I think this kind of technology would have an amazing impact on palliative care. A lot of people end up suffering in the last days, weeks, months of their lives, and, with some types of disease, easing out the patient with as little pain as

    I love it how when a new situation comes up at work that I have encountered in my side projects, I can come up with some approaches, strengths and weaknesses pretty fast. It makes me look like I'm a lot more knowledgeable than I am.
