I'm unclear on their readme. Right at the bottom, they seem to suggest that once runC implements rootless containers, it will be a superior solution since it conforms to the Open Containers Initiative. Checking runC's GitHub, they

Both buttons work for me on mobile. Can't be sure, but that page looks like a JavaScript heavy "single page app" type situation, so if your JS is turned off that might explain things. Incidentally, both links just pop up a si

I'd be interested in hearing from vendors who are tied to Chrome. Authy springs to mind, only because their product is literally the only reason I still have Chrome installed anywhere.

A few of these are nice enough, but not "stunning". You really do need to pay a talented human for that, currently. I'm a little concerned that automated creative services like this are encouraging a race to the bottom, a mor

Apologies, you're quite right, they're using "transcranial alternating current stimulation" a.k.a. tACS during sleep. Now I'm at my desktop I can read the paper, and see that they applied direct current during task

By no means my area of expertise, but a quick glance suggests: The experimenters set up a system that could detect slow-wave (SW) fluctuations in brain activity. They used trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (electro-magnets on the scalp) to

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Biomechanics are only one part of the complex picture regarding back pain. This article is full of outdated value-laden and fear-inducing language such as "spine is in an impro

I seriously believe that the "cachet" that traditional publishing confers is a major block that prevents innovation in this area. For the racket of academic publishing to be upended, there has to be motivation. This remains the un

Fully agree with this. I'm amazed that even in universities and similar organisations, nobody from Dept X wanders into Dept Y and simply asks "I'm working on this problem, anybody got any ideas?" It happens, but far too

Well, progress along the Y axis is only achieved if progress is made on the X axis too. If the curve is too steep, the user is expected to learn too much too quickly, and many will simply give up.

Grants, friends and family, network to find one or two individuals, bootstrap. These seem to be the realistic options if you're not exposed to VC (if you even want VC). The problem is how to do all that on top of everything else when t

Definitely worth a go. Comments might be extractable, I'm not familiar with docx format but it's zipped X(?)ML type data so there will be parsers. Or a conversion to an intermediate format that's more amenable to computer pro

No. OP has described a liar. A truthful version would be "we don't have this but my team can build it". This is not what's happening.

Lying to investors is not okay, and OP describes a CEO who they believe is flagrantly lying. This is a kind of "excitement" no company needs.

Find what routine works for you, sharpen the saw, take down time. This is great and needs to be said more often to counter the prevailing message of "get up early and do as much as you can".

Indeed. I'm really curious about the example I saw on their front page, apparently showing a bot commenting that "accessing this ImageView outside the main thread may cause crashes in this app". Is this genuinely possible to

Some feedback for you: this is dreadful on mobile. Scrolling is broken, page took like 20 seconds to render what I assume was the main content (coloured blocks with text).
