There are games from the 90s. So? People still play them, just as they read book from before they were born. Changelog says the project started in 2004.

Curious: 1) Why unguessable? That sounds like something one would naively use to keep secrets, but encryption is the right tool for that. Apart from that, it sounds like nodes participating in the network would inherently have to see name

If you know you're voting for a niche candidate that cannot win, then that vote achieves nothing. It amounts to as much as not voting at all; voting, then, is an empty ritual, just a rain dance. Psychological desire has nothing to do

But there's a massive shortage of talent. Of course employers would ghost you. They can just hire the next consultant in queue.

Well I just took a screenshot and tried it. BMP: 6MB. lzma-compressed bmp: 75K. PNG through optipng and pngcrush: 178k. Not very surprising imho. PNG was never a strong compression format to begin with.

If you pay attention to people at all, it has a potential to distract you from whatever work you're trying to focus on, every time. If you're in a space where you have people moving about and coming and going in and out of your f

One day I hope everyone's equipped with a connected whiteboard (perhaps small enough to grab and take to the desk, but not tiny like a tablet) in their home office that works live in meetings. But I'm not a huge fan of whiteboards
