I deliberately don't spend much time on this. You could spend your whole life investigating and evaluating alternatives, but then you'd never get anything done. Of the maybe one hour a day I spend skimming news, popping tabs, an

The "perfect fit for making digital payments while preventing exposure to crypto volatility" is ummm ... fiat with Visa/Mastercard? Which is exactly why no cryptocurrency has gained mainstream traction: it's solving a &q

I added a QR code on mine. It saves you having to type all the stuff in, or check the scanning was accurate, or whatever. It just goes to a simple page, with a picture and contact details, and then links for email, vCard, LinkedIn, GitHub,

Apple and NewtonOS supported a variety of different mobile networks (eg. ARDIS/DataTAC and CDPD) in the time before the Internet and TCP/IP became dominant. But it's fair to say that the OS was not built with networking in m

While acknowledging the influence of General Magic on Apple's Newton work, I think it's inaccurate to characterize it as a "clone". A brief use of Magic Cap and Newton OS reveals in my opinion very little in common in th

The rich (a trite generalization, but leaving that aside for now), appear currently undecided about the future of cryptocurrency. Today, it's delivering good speculative returns as the supply of greater fools continues. And it's

Australia and New Zealand would probably be considered successful withdrawals? Canada? Less so the colonies that became the US, I guess.

Tribalism in Australian politics might not be quite at the levels it is in the US, but it's certainly a factor. Politicians and parties still attempt to create outrage as a way of attracting or sustaining attention, and diminishing the

In fact, you are not compelled to _vote_. You must show up at a polling place (either prior to the election or on election day), and you must identify yourself to the polling officer, and receive a ballot paper. You do NOT have to complete

There's no need for a vesting schedule for solo founders. When/if you get investors, you'll usually issue more shares. Those might be made available to you as options (with a vesting schedule) at that time. (Caveat: IANAL, e

(Sorry, I didn't check this thread until now). I think it's better to get it done. Firstly, and maybe most importantly, because it's a source of badness in your friendship. The longer it goes on, the more chance you feel r

Let's assume they're being completely honest: they'd love to contribute, and think it's a great idea, but genuinely cannot find the time amongst their other responsibilities. That's bound to be disappointing, for bo

Yeah, it's not free. My box (I have the smallest size) is $136, and the redirection is $160. I dunno -- that sounds expensive, but it's like 80c a day, so it's kinda noise ...

For the last 30 years, I've used an Australian Post Office box as my official mailing address, and they just forward the mail to wherever I happen to be at the time. It saves needing to update my details with everyone whenever I move.

I used to have both a 15" all-in-one model, and a separate pizza-box style model with a 17" monitor. IIRC, both were 88k CPUs.

There were (and are) other free/libre Unix variants. Perhaps one of them would be where Linux is today. But regardless, it doesn't make Torvalds of particular historical note. Important in a specific narrow field, sure. Of gene

I agree that the current fanboi bucketing on Blue Origin is dumb, herd-mentality, kicking-the-weakest, bs. People need to grow up. I think it's genuinely interesting to compare two well-funded, privately-led space companies and their

MIPS is very, very close to dead now. To be fair though, I think its death is more attributable to ARM than Itanium. And RISC-V is killing off anything that remained.

I suggest doing both. In your email, ask that they acknowledge receiving the communication in writing. Until you have their response, you need to keep reminding them, every day. You need to do email because you need written proof that you

The best reason not to do this as a sole proprietor is that the legal liability falls on you (your house, your family, etc). An LLC not only gives you your AppStore listing, but gives you a legal shield as well if something goes wrong with

For most businesses, a .com domain is the clear best choice. For specific countries, having a country code TLD as well can avoid confusion (is it .com or .co.uk? Both/either!) and increase confidence of local support and/or reg

Which is not that different to eg. Visual Studio, really. I don't dispute your point though. I just feel like it's more a matter of degree, rather than a binary now-you-do / now-you-don't situation.

It's just another tool. In the past, programmers didn't have compilers, or linters, or debuggers, or dependency managers, or ... etc. All the tooling a modern programmer uses could be viewed as having taken work away from humans.

Current chips are basically 2D. Not quite, in that they do have 3D features, but those 3D features are essentially still implementing individual cells in a 2D circuit. And those 2D circuits fit, eg. 4Gbits of DRAM into a single layer chip.
