People said Flash wouldn't be missed. People said WebGL and canvas would bring us a much better experience. It's been nearly a decade since Steve Jobs declared war on Flash. Where has the entire browser gaming ecosystem gone to? K

In an ideal world unused laws would be scrapped and complicated laws would be simplified. One could even come up with a criterion: the entire law book should be readable in 10 hours by a layperson. None of us know which of our actions const

You can ignore politics, but politics will not ignore you. What you're doing is burying your head in the sand, not avoiding.

Also 10 GHz is possible with some knowledge and effort. See the hams on Youtube reaching QO-100.

There's no way they are that stupid. TSMC alone has the power to shut down a huge number of electronics companies in both China and the US. Remember the HDD crisis? Anything happening to TSMC would dwarf that. Nope, Taiwan is not givin

I hate the SOLID principles. Especially that they're called principles when they should've been called design patterns at best. In our era of multi-paradigm software engineering OOP is nothing but a tool among others for structuri

It shouldn't be too expensive to build and deploy GPS disciplined oscillators based on commodity crystal oscillators (temperature compensated or ovenized). Only one would be needed for a whole datacenter, then local NTP would provide i

What's even worse is that once Amazon collects enough data they'll be able to compete more effectively with these retailers and eventually kill them.

I don't understand why Quora and Pinterest still aren't unlisted by Google. My only guess is that their executives personally know each other.

No. Even if proprietary, you can find very detailed datasheets and guides to program most of those. Try finding a Broadcom SoC datasheet and you'll quickly understand what I mean. They're protected like nuclear launch codes.

No, thank you. If I'm going to buy a hobby computer it absolutely shouldn't have a proprietary SoC without a public datasheet. This rules out anything by Broadcom.

Governments are focusing more and more on end-to-end encryption. It can be banned within the next 5 years. They could need to manufacture some consent before that (e.g. mention e2e in the news every time a major crime is committed).

Sandstorm is also an extremely security-oriented way of running packaged apps. It uses an advanced sandbox that has defeated many kernel zero-day vulnerabilities. It utilizes the Cap'n Proto serialization + RPC protocol, another securi

If industries can't self regulate and play nicely, the big bad government will come with their regulations and I'm sure they won't like those.

It'll be incredibly frustrating to have to think about which USB-C device is compatible with which. You want to make a proprietary charger? Use a custom connector and stop confusing end users.

Or maybe instead of crying and groveling at Google's feet we could get up in arms and create a better platform. But, oh, we can't make it a centralized platform because then we'd have to replicate something similar to Youtube

It's very ironic that you're defending China's position on mass surveillance tech while complaining about leftists.
