   That seems like a generalized gospel in the US : the environment will sort this out. The free market will sort this out. No worries, god's hand will sort this out. I'm genuinely curious, are you taught this at some point ?

   On the other hand I'm using an LG G4 running LineageOS (16) since more than 4 years, and it will probably continue getting updates for as long as it doesn't break. Only Android devices allow this.

   Even better, I have one USB-C hub on my desk (with monitors, keyboard/mouse, printers, network, etc.) and it works for both my XPS-13 and my wife's MacBook. That is real progress.

   Or more realistically business will go on as usual, with a little green-washing here and there, and we will cope as well as we can with the resulting mess. Which means after a period of relative calm (less wars nowadays than before) we&#x

   That's a few thousands employees at best, and not the kind of people that have difficulties finding a job. I don't think anyone is scared.

    I'm using a self-hosted Nextcloud which stores my passwords. There are 'apps' for Firefox and Android. They're not perfect but work quite well for my use, I have both the benefit of cloud-based, centralised passwords and

    I've read somewhere that humans like crispy food because it's naturally a good way to differentiate e.g. not-yet-rotten vegetables. But like our innate taste for salt and sugar it's perverted in industrial foods.

    Sure. But maybe that means one could reword its "we're going headfirst into the wall" prophecy into something more constructive, like "I think we could avoid this pitfall, here's my plan".

    I would really love a phone with a fully upstreamed kernel and manufacturer-supported LineageOS. Sadly there's nothing even remotely equivalent on the market today.

    It's not intended to save gates but time. Bits are (were) serially encoded on the wire, so you could start switching sooner, before even having received the whole header.

    "Type Safety" is only at position #12. I would have expected that nowadays C++ programmers would have been a little more aware of the perils of a not-strong-enough type system.

    I'm using a custom protocol on top of MQTT. I have a big CSV file with all the topics/payload types/etc. specified which is then use to generate a common library for our software services. Thanks to Rust's nice code gene

    In fact the passenger will also detect the potentially dangerous situation and stop taking focus from you. The person in the phone will not, and may continue to distract you involuntarily.

    It is. We write all our technical documentation (as well as specs, etc. even meeting minutes) using markdown with embedded mermaid diagrams, and during CI have it transformed (via pandoc and ad-hoc scripting) into PDF with corporate company
