I'm using a 200 eur Xiaomi Redmi with a 3.5mm jack and I'm very happy with it. Battery lasts me around 5 days. Why is it garbage?

I'm not sure why you're putting dogs into this. Geopolitics and diplomacy is complicated enough without speciesism.

To add my anecdote to yours, I've been with Firefox for some time and I weathered the changes fine. I might not be crazy about Web in general, but Firefox has been good to me and I have not found the choices they make to break my workf

I'm not siding with GP, and I've little to no knowledge of either China or Taiwan, but to say that culture is Confucius, food and decorations doesn't sound right. That's just tradition, culture is more fundamental, in my

Well it's not really the type of question to be answer via a referendum. Maybe it's fashionable to consider fashion art? Haha.

by dmos62 5y ago
If fashion were art you wouldn't have the word fashionable, in the same way that you don't have the word artful.

by dmos62 5y ago
Why is fast fashion bad but slow or regular fashion not? Fashion is valuing things based on some definition or perception of popularity. It's chasing the dragon.

It's the multiplayer games that use anti-cheats that are the problem at the moment, as far as I can tell.

I do not care enough to maintain this piece of crack and thus will let it rust. This is fun.

When you say relational databases, do you mean SQL databases in particular?

Things don't seem to be going there. We had dumb phones lasting around a week in the 00s, then switched to semi-cordless smartphones that need to be charged sometimes more than once a day. Same for RAM and CPU usage, when looking at br

Thanks for setting me straight!

Adversarial interoperability is an oxymoron. It's a company being adversarial and not wanting to interoperate.

That's a good point. Is it politics or economics though?

I always felt that space colonization was a semi-conscious way of giving up on sustainability on Earth. Purposefully erupting supervolcanoes to launch spaceships would be the ultimate illustration of that.

by dmos62 5y ago
I like that you felt you needed to point out that a supervolcano explosion would be worse than oatmeal on the wall.

Hypersonic lava sounds AWESOME!

Right, sounds like an attempt to do a PR stunt.

That's a good point.

Those are good points, but Ubiquiti lost me at centralized, private management of my network devices. Someone might, you know, abuse that; plus, I'm not in control of what's on my device.

I'm normally sensitive to people being full of themselves and I've no such sensation with Wolfram. I'm fascinated by what he has to say; I find his perspective on computational and programming languages, him being a specialis

Should your work in spare time be explicitly exempt in the contract, or, if side projects are not mentioned in the contract, does that implicitly exempt it?

It's an automated bureaucracy (bureaucrazy). It's tyrannical, in that it has power over you and it's unjust and cruel in how it disregards you. You can lump those words together however you like. Tyrannical automated bureaucr

To be fair, most Bittorrent users have not had any legal issues (while downloading copyrighted stuff).

by dmos62 5y ago
We should have infrastructure for sharing things like this without putting a centralized entity like archive.org in the crosshairs. Bittorrent comes to mind, but it could only be part of the solution.

To those interested in movie recommendation engines, I've been using movielens ( https://movielens.org/ ) for years and it's great. You rate movies you've seen and it predicts which other movies you'll lik
