This might point towards cold fusion being indeed a dead end, but not the existence of a conspiracy behind a "government organized strategy" you hypothesized. That's quite a leap. By the way, the idea reminded me of "The

That's a fun idea, but extraordinary theories require extraordinary (even if circumstantial) evidence.

Self-driving cars will blur and in the long run, possibly invalidate the distinction between "private" and "public" transport.

Is it more computationally complex than Go?

If by "ads in start menu" you mean the lame app suggestions, it's trivial to disable the thing.

Here in Poland Encarta is probably best remembered for its ridiculous entry on Poland, depicting it in a rather outdated manner, to put it mildly. It caused quite an uproar back in the day, and went sort of viral. See http://of19

Unfortunately the fact that TS is another layer on the top of JS makes the system more error-prone. This was one of the issues I encountered when fiddling with React Native. Too many moving elements in the stack would lead to frequent confi

"Probability-wise I just mean there's a 2/8 chance that it's one of these pawns" Unless I misunderstood the concept somehow, your calculation seems to be, as the great GM Finegold would put it, "incorrect!&qu

C# supports both conventions (in LINQ) - I mean the Kotlin one from the grandparent comment, and the Python's from parent's. The method chaining syntax and the query syntax are alternatives. I think most devs lean towards the form

I've been using a kneeling chair for about 3 years now, and I find it great, even though it does take a while to get used to it.

It's not "a bit less popular", but pretty much abandoned (apart from by some diehard conservatives such as Korwin-Mikke). Noone translates first names anymore, nor do we use phonetical spelling for the last names. It's n

For what it's worth, the "Android -> Java" part is now obsolete. Especially as you do mention Swift in the context of iOS development. Kotlin is now the default language for Android, officially recommended ahead of Java.

First impressions: 1. It doesn't properly "Follow device theme" (as per Settings) - I had to switch it to Dark manually; 2. Zooming text doesn't work on some pages, and on others it doesn't make the text rewrap. Tha

Opera popularized them. The notion that it invented them is a very common misconception though.

Isn't it putting the cart before the horse though? Our ability to conceive of and process language developed alongside actually communicating, in an increasingly sophisticated manner. It's not like the "software" was alr

Sure, I'm not saying it can't be harmful. My point is just that I see it as something more akin to the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" than "AIDS was created in government labs".

The hourglass had been irrelevant for quite a while when it was (successfully) employed as a UI metaphore. I wouldn't assume pens to become obsolete any time soon, either. And whereas filing cabinets do fall out of fashion, the metapho

The very first thing I got to see on the website: the "Watch this" link obscured by the down arrow, and thus unclickable on my 1920x1080 laptop screen. This is not the first impression you want to give, especially when the product

Vodka companies in Poland were even more inventive. One of them started a yacht rental enterprise (or something along these lines), and proudly advertised "łódka Bols". "Łódka" meaning a boat, and coincidentally rhyming

Sure, however: a) This built-in feature is way below the standards trivially achievable via extensions in Firefox, Chrome etc. b) It's a downgrade in relation to what Opera itself used to offer in the past (and then, if I recall, got s
