You don't need perfect, but some actual planning and application of the scientific method is called for.

I agree that 99% of software developers are not engineers, not because software engineering isn't engineering, but because they are not doing software engineering. You can, and should, apply the principles of engineering to your develo

Addressing these disputes is what the GAO is for, and the GAO ruled in NASA's favor. Having read all of the proposals, from SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Dynetics, and statements from NASA, the GAO, and Blue Origin, among other materials, I

Here's a quote from NASA regarding Blue Origin: > But it is not an overstatement to say that all of the successes upon which the Option A procurement is built, all of this once-in-a-generation momentum, can easily be undone by one p

There is a key point which articles like this fail to understand about Gemini. Gemini draws our attention to the distribution of responsibilities between clients and publishers on the web, and the implications of that distribution, and asks

This might hold up better if Google's rankings were actually good for all of the spyware they add. Here's a search I performed earlier today: https://l.sr.ht/u1vK.png The desired result is indicated in red, well b

The meme marketing is funny, but the meme license is less so. Would you consider using a more well-known and established license? The Parity license looks like Open Source/Free Software, but it also looks very vague and difficult to

SourceHut maintains actual package repositories based on standard package managers, most of which are overseen by independent contributors. The Debian packages are maintained by Denis Laxalde, who is a volunteer with no relationship to Sour

>I think what's happened here is that you don't understand the difference between TLS, a network protocol, and the Web PKI, a Public Key Infrastructure and so you've sort of muddled both together, which is revealing on its

It's not without drawbacks, but TLS gives almost everyone good security/privacy by default. And for those who really need it, anyone who does even a basic amount of research can gain very good levels of confidence in the privacy o

TLS/SSL is a better comparison, and it's a protocol which has enjoyed widespread and unprecedented success in securing the privacy of users worldwide, despite being decentralized. The tradeoffs Moxie was thinking of when rejecti

Sorry, I was not aware that you were not permitted to criticize anyone unless you invested tens of thousands of hours into building a competing product to demonstrate your point. Something to remember for next time.

Bitten again by centralization. There's no excuse for not making Signal an open, federated protocol.

Author here. I posted this on Gemini specifically to avoid a larger audience on the WWW. This has happened several times now, so I decided it was time to shut off my web gateway, which breaks this submission. If you want to read this articl

The problem with Posteo is that they don't let you bring your own domain, which in effect allows them to hold your email address hostage. This is a non-starter for a pro-user email hosting service.

It's not a breaking change, but it is a radical change for what it means for Go programs to be Go programs. All Go programs are now written the "wrong" way. Or, in other words: all present Go programs would not pass a code re

This is Go's Python 3 moment. This creates a hard fork of the ecosystem, with a before and after, and all existing Go code is now un-idiomatic and will have to be refactored, rewritten, or replaced.

We're planning on offering domain registration and DNS management at some point, but that's the only other service which is planned at the moment. We may also get into mail hosting someday, and we are also hoping to experiment wit

Our mission begins with "we are here to make free software better". We're motivated entirely by this goal, and not by profits or personal gain or noteriety or anything else of the sort. We believe in free software and we want

Maybe someone can correct me, but I don't see how we're going to get out of climate change (generally, but also specifically) without nuclear power. We need something which can produce a reliable base load and I don't think t

The thing about telescopes is that bigger is always better, and bigger is always more expensive. 10 small telescopes will do less useful science than one large telescope. The optical capabilities of a telescope are a function of the mirror
