You are now talking about the cost of the technology, but that's not the complete picture. Switching to carbon free energy will probably work, but it will take longer to get to where we want to go. If it takes longer to stop climate ch

No one mentioning carbon extraction technologies here? Just adding less CO2 to the atmosphere is not enough to stop the trend, we actually need to undo what we've been doing all these decades and need to massively invest in carbon ex

I see, thank you so much for providing inside information. Looks like it'll be a while before I can ditch CalDav...

The article mentions that JMAP does calendars as well. Anyone have a quick status update on how it compares to CalDav and if it's supported by any of the major calendar clients or servers? I did a quick google and looked at the JMAP si

It's either a one-time investment, or a permanent loss of a (perhaps small) part of your users. Perhaps it doesn't make sense for the LA Times, but I'm wondering how large the investment really is and whether or not it would

- I lived in Germany - lived in France - now I live in Eastern EU Seems like you're getting plenty of benefits out of the EU. Most of the issues you mention, while acknowledging that they're real, are not caused by the EU.

True, that's why I mentioned Inconsolata, which is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, which "is considered free by the Free Software Foundation" and the Debian Project. Not sure what OpenBSD's position on that lic

They went from a terrible font to a bad font. There are so many nice ones [e.g. have a look at https://wesbos.com/programming-fonts/ ], why not pick one of these? Inconsolata or Menlo would be a big improvement over wha

Sure. This is assuming you are starting a new project, for existing projects the cost-benefit analysis is different. When you're starting a new project in PHP, there's almost no reason to start from anything else than Laravel or S

I’m sorry, but you’re 5 to 10 years behind the times, and I say that as a non-bandwagon-jumping old guy. Plain PHP these days is almost always a mistake, there are new (and proven, stable) tools that provide significant benefits without any

Wow, thank you for mentioning that. I cannot believe how good the translations are! My native tongue is Dutch and I threw in some (long!) English, French and German texts and honestly, they read like they were written by a native speaker. H

With regards to privacy I trust Apple more than Google, if only for the fact that their business doesn't operate on the principle of violating your privacy.

Yes, but that's because they are uninformed about the humongous amount of data they're voluntarily handing out and how much can be deducted about their day-to-day lives using that data. If they'd know, like - really properly
