I remember the argument- heard a long time ago, much before mobile phones became a thing- that progress and incumbent replacement in the computer industry has always happened when new, smaller generations of machines replaced the previous o

Not to mention that the UK is "extremely friendly" to Israel. Johnson after winning the elections gave a ministry to Priti Patel, who had been removed from a previous May government for having secret meetings with Israeli official

I joined a company that had two fairly simple internal web apps, one in Angular and the other one in React. Both had been written and maintained by a number of devs, each on the task for a few weeks or months. Both had several issues and bl

I fully agree with you until the part about the USA. Yes, it's true that the US aren't a reluctant ally but an enthusiastic one; but this is because the US have been led to believe through relentless lobbying and propaganda that t

True, but: there's maybe a billion potential customers, I feel those companies are reaching only a small percentage with a pretty bad service.

Maximum exterior diversity, maximum ideological alignment. Diversity of opinions not welcome.

I think the first might just look difficult to avoid because if the lack of peripheral view in the video- a driver would have seen the other car much earlier than the video suggests. As for the second one, looks like the other car just pass

And over what time period would you finally offset the excess co2 introduced in the environment by tearing down and rebuilding existing buildings? They're already medium-density buildings, with considerable historical and urbanistic va

I wonder if it would be possible to detect the movement by choosing some narrow and very popular touristic spot (such as the top of a building, a viewpoint on a cliff..) and averaging the gps coordinates of the public pictures taken by tens

Total wars are not known to increase the quality of life. If a transition to a green economy guaranteed such massive economic gains (and no pains) don't you think that politicians of all colours would scramble to implement it? The firs

Good comic! But isn't the number of people reading a problem per se? The "deniers", those who keep shifting their arguments until they've gone full circle to the starting point, are not trying to convince you- nor you ar

I used to agree fully with what you say. But only a few days ago it occurred to me that in the early days of the web (let's say late '90, early 2000s) I thought that the internet was going to make the world a more peaceful place:

I don't know why you were downvoted, the importance of projects (and their leaders) is measured on the team sizes and budgets. So increasing costs makes the project and its leaders more important and valued.

Yes, you are misunderstanding the logic. A normal web app doesn't need to be installed, disappears each time you close it, runs in a tight sandbox. Much better and lighter than have an app installed. Besides, I do find fancy pens cring
