Like a hipster wearing a monocle fashioned with metaverse-substrate. The new age user interface is like cup of coffee and a pipe with eco-friendly, translucent tobacco.

I tend to nitpick in similar ways. However, LibreOffice is used across language boundaries, and words like Free and Open don’t translate as well in my opinion.

The thing is an orca isn’t going to mass-kill a bunch of seals because that’s wasteful (of energy). Sure they can kill and play with seals for entertainment, but they don’t (can’t?) cross the line of ecological torture/waste humans hav

There’s a huge difference: in the animal kingdom all species play their part and live freely—yes there is predators and prey, and the wilderness can be a violent place. But humans breed animals in cesspools, and humans rip mother cows from

I’d love to see a language where you write the tests and then the compiler creates the application code.

I think the author is just referring to writing heart-felt letters or well-thought-out business correspondence. People en masse don’t know how to communicate these days because of the instant gratification of snaps and DMs and yadda-yadda.

Mostly I mean: walk into a store, grab a few things off the shelf, and pay with bitcoins—the way cash is used. If I use any current digital forms of payment, someone is watching/recording the transactions and pairing them with my ID fo

Interesting because this idea touches on a few things: 1) Effective data visualization is extremely beneficial for the learning process; 2) Combining sensory experiences together enhance learning process; For instance, on piano you can see

They would probably have to bag the devices as evidence. But let’s be serious here it has to be at a place where a warrant is issued right? Tech folks are super paranoid. Like, try to make sure no warrants are out for you and your cousins a

In theory though, this is no different than making someone “empty their pockets.” It’s just we happen to have information in our pockets. Folks, keep your information AT HOME where it belongs. Don’t dirty the streets with those ugly snaps n

That’s why the coins I have more faith in are coins which incentivize things like distributed compute/storage. However, currency in google play or whatever is missing features that “cash” provides. Sometimes I don’t want credit card co

Honestly I think the downfall began with lack of no-script support. JavaScript is a great addition to add interactivity, but it is an obvious win for commercial interests. It would be nice if instead of websites being forced to display cook

Sorry to hear that about your close family/friends. However, vouching for a rushed approval based on emotions is why such panels exist. That quality assurance is extremely important, especially with respect to drugs. Keep in mind the w

Meh… Python zealots abound. Folks often say the same thing about Fortran but frankly, those are the engines that power ALL scripting languages math features. You’re running on C/C++/FORTRAN. If one needs better text-parsing featur

Subjectivity aside: the fact stands that Perl is the most ubiquitous scripting language on Unix and the de facto standard. You’ll find it by default on many container environments as well—but hell if you’ll find Ruby. ;)

I’m surprised you don’t mention Perl in this list. It’s the de facto Unix scripting language and frankly more suitable to the task than others. Perl on the command line is beautifully concise; it’s easily embedded into CI/CD pipeline

Selling fake products masquerading as a real ones. That’s literally the worst case scenario for a customer. If I buy a product and it has issues—okay, it happens. Maybe I post a bad review or just don’t buy it again. If I buy a product and

The problem with CSS has historically been browser conformance—naturally there’s been some workarounds. However, CSS has been a success because of its ubiquity. However, it is somewhat limited in its extensibility. For app development I rea

VS code has nice features but man.. every time I close the editor an update gets applied. I uninstalled because of that. Lately I prefer purpose built IDEs for whatever task is needed. I’m over with editor evangelism. :) Funny thing is a lo

Best thing to do is buy straight from manufacturer if possible require insurance on the shipment—that way the post has to deliver it or they are paying you!

Moral of the story: any public interfaces should be peer reviewed by various stakeholders if possible :) If no one is available, stepping away from ones own work and reviewing it with a fresh mind can have a similar affect

I think everyone is somewhat affected the same way because of devices. The natural rhythm of humans is sunrise to sunset, without electricity. But we put ourselves in the pixel glow around the clock! A more beneficial study than the OP woul

Just want to point out that Rust and Python live on opposite sides of the spectrum. A systems language requires good understanding of systems (whether rust or c/c++) and also some assembly language. So Pythons “ease of teaching” actual

C/C++ has been around for a while and there is gobs of literature. For this I’m guessing you mean “the website literature.” Many developers these days scarcely read books on subject matter. But if they did read books, they would find t

Maybe if one just wants to scrape by. I wouldn’t want systems code from those folks to be honest... Maybe that’s fine up the layers but the whole point of Rust is correctness and stability—to get the that point, maybe invest a month hitting

I think the broader problem is that: one _cannot_ just arbitrarily “go” from a higher level language to a systems language. Folks really ought to read the C/C++ literature to understand why Rust evolved in a unique direction. That give

Honestly, you signed up for the annual subscription so it’s on you. They give a decent cost discount for yearly subscription—it’s only fair to them that they get their end of the bargain. Important takeaway: only buy month to month plans wh

Honestly one could argue that DOS has some merit beyond Unix. It’s simple command line interface expects users will program in other languages like C or assembly. It’s more directly interaction with the machine. Sure it had limitations like
