   To me, it sounds as simple as everybody does what he thinks is best for him: 1. Companies are founded in the big cities, to have access to talent 2. People move to big cities to have access to better jobs As long as the benefits outweigh th

   `echo -e` should be easily replaceable with `printf` but nc remains to be a problem.

   I think the simple version is that too many people don't understand how Open-Source works and that they have no right to tell a maintainer what he has to do. If you are unhappy with the direction an Open-Source project is going, you ca

   I use Tesseract to extract text from my scanned documents in order to be able to grep through them. What surprised me, was that the lower quality (resolution) scans had actually much better OCR results. So it seems Tesseract works best with

   Feature-wise, it doesn't have to do something more than the others, it just has to be able to do everything the user needs. And for the purchase decision, there might be other factors involved as well: price, security, design, hardware

   I just wish apple would finally support push notifications for PWAs: https://caniuse.com/#search=push%20api A lot of use-cases like e.g. chat apps, depend on that kind of technology.

    I think it neither poor nor outstanding. Simple or oldschool would be both better terms to describe it. Yes, it certainly has some outstanding attributes (e.g. color composition), but it is far from perfect. Small voting buttons and long li

    As a KDE User, I am so happy every time I see 'KHTML' in one of those User-Agent strings, it would be horrible if Konquerors legacy would be removed one day ;-) So it is good they don't want to remove it, but just freeze it :

    Sounds great. I like privacy-aware analytic tools. So far I have been using https://www.privalytics.io Similar functionality-wise from what I can tell, but different in style.

    IMHO, there are two problems: 1. You are expected to work 8 hours, while your body/brain is just made for 4 hours of extensive mental work. Afterward, concentration and productivity plunge. 2. Office cultures are rarely made for Deep W

    It depends. From my perspective, reading a book has a different quality. In general, you spend more time on a subject and the content is often a bit deeper than online articles. On the other hand, if you want to learn some skill, you need

    I hate anti-cheat software, because I had a lot more trouble with it than I had with cheaters. After all, anti-cheat software is meant to solve just one problem (people modifying the technology), but there are other ways too to destroy the

    I would argue that opt-in telemetry is the worst you should think about. To improve your software, there are other means than mass surveillance of your users (e.g. lab-tests). And if you really need a lot of data, ask who wants to participa

    Kinda weird how many people seem to think that it is good when Apple boycotts modern web technologies. I mean, we all know that electron has its downsides (large downloads, old versions, etc.). But PWAs are the technology to overcome those

    I think this is still one of the strongest selling points for Go. It is a pretty solid language with a few basic concepts which are repeated constantly. Sure, it doesn't have generics, error handling is a mess and the language design i

    Well, he does say why he likes C better, so it is useful for others. The problem is that learning how to use C effectively is a lot harder than learning other/modern languages. Therefore, anybody who doesn't know how to use C is p

    ORMs seem to be a typical example of over-engineering. Often you don't need all that complexity they come with and when you do, you are probably better of understanding exactly what you are doing. So maybe building a minimal API, wrapp

    Since you are asking for the 'Return On Invest', I think there are two sides to this medal. I didn't have any large returns, but I like the content that comes up, so I try to limit the resources I invest. I observed that givi
