Is the iPod your only example? That was a quarter century ago. What's hot about less ports, no headphone jack, no SD card, a tax when buying apps for your phone, planned obsolescence, antagonistic behavior towards app and software deve

I guess I was really looking for concrete examples and examples prior to the invention of or not related to the use of electronic technology. For your non-technological items in your list, I don't see how public school, rock and roll,

Have you seen literally any chart covering just the past one to two hundred years, or even just the past 50-70 years that covers emissions, population, industrial scale, environmental destruction, weather patterns, etc.? They would answer y

Yea, right. "Wall Street" has publicized lashings and rules, but there's also a backdoor. And they obviously have a strangle-hold on rentals. The end game for capitalism is for everyone to rent everything: healthcare, cars, s

Green is the highest energy light emitted by our sun, from any part of the entire light spectrum, which is why green appears in the middle of the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum basically exists because we "grew up" with a

My issue with them is that they claim their tools replace existing tools, but they don't bother to actually replicate all of the functionality. So if you want to use the full functionality of existing tools, you need to fall back on th

The market has never solved anything in ways that are beneifical for humanity. (Just commenting on the first part of your comment, given that your last sentence implies you're just saying what market evangelists would say.)

Isn't that arguing for keeping the maintenance cost high and also stagnating the design?

C/C++ basically demand that codebases be large. And we hear all the time about software troubles written in these languages. Finding reports of this are almost endless. I think people who write complex applications in more sane languag

This is interesting because I'm not immediately sure how you verify correctness and assess risk without also addressing profitability. By assessing risk is that just checking that it does dump all your money and that you can at least m

Buy and hold performs well over long time scales by simply not adjusting based upon sentiment.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a minimal but functional Ghostty configuration for tab completion? I'm using it on macOS, and I encounter a lot of issues with Ghostty with Oh My Zsh. It's often very slow, the shell crashes, and

What are you talking about? I can't buy anything overseas anymore. For example, used guitars from Japan used to have free shipping. It's now hundreds of dollars. I can't buy my cat's medicine from Canada anymore, and the

I think you should read the old posts as to why Racket transitioned it's guts from primarily C to Chez Scheme. It would save a lot of time in the discussion here if you became familiar with that transition. The short story is the same
