I hope that by the time a PC with keyboard and mouse (or even a laptop with trackpad and keyboard) are considered retro I am able to stay away from all computers. because on this trend, such a world where all computing is through 'smar

fact is we live in a tiered society. no matter how many times we repeat to ourselves that "we are all equal" (before the law). as I see it, such phrases are a goal, an intention, more than they are a reality. we need to keep worki

I'd say it's the liver (or some other part of the gut-brain i.e. autonomic nervous system) that is lazy. If you've ever tried a caloric deficit you know something within does not like it and will complain constantly so long a

yes. I think most of us who programmed in the trenches are familiar with forgetting what we've done... the difference is that nothing I've ever worked on will ever be public or useful beyond a small private business which doesn&#x

the choice taken, because it's both easier and worse, is to put a marketplace of apps as an interface to the very large amount of things that a computer can do. I'm saying that in the future (given this trend), in order to get &qu

I think in part the problem is that he is an owner working with an agency, i.e. they're all employees all the way to the top. like this agency said, "we usually work with larger clients", i.e. we expect that all interactions

but ultimately, the "executives" making the decisions of what software to develop, which bugs to hunt, and so on, are all basing their decisions on data, reports, and many sorts of 'metrics'. Additionally, I suppose in a
