That's a good one xD

How ironic that an engineering mistake which produced a unique "bad" batch of transistors also produced another engineering mistake. It's bad practice to make use of not reproducible parts, especially as such a unique noise s

The article is not about How To Invent a Language, but rather about the book that guy wrote.

Making differences irrelevant is not the same thing as eradicating them. Sorry, using your arguments, you cannot say that the fight against discrimination of any kind is a moral thing to do. It's in fact problematic, as it eradicates

Gender identity and sexual preference don't really matter. They are natural attributes of a person, just as natural as eyes and ears. The only thing I can do is to ignore people's attempts to appear more unique than others by tr

Well, that's an odd question. Sure, biological sex is an objective fact, but you can't call gender identity a fact. It's a part of a more complex identity which people unwillingly or willingly emphasize. I refuse to define my

I'm still waiting for the point in history of this planet that people abandon the concepts of sexual orientation or identity or gender completely. The only interesting thing to know is whether a person is able to give birth, biological

All this Facebook-bashing in the recent months and then m$ office is spying on everything you do. This is like a "legit" keylogger, which is activated per default, because it's a product feature . But, you have to trust it a

Ah, well, I heard Planck Time also already exists. What's the point then re-inventing time quanta when they already are defined?

by dschuetz 8y ago
The shortest distance between two events in space and time, when there are time quanta, then there must be space quanta as well.
582.
by dschuetz 8y ago
And what do those "time quanta" represent? "Time of light traversing the radius of an electron", really? Isn't that just another measurement device based on light quanta and distance?

I've tried that, but I found that writing a tutorial consumes too much time when writing for a wide audience. So, I started writing tutorials for myself. It's brief, covering the most important steps which do not explain much, but

That approach didn't work for "cyber", "quantum" or similar buzzwords. Calling something by its actual meaning isn't easy to sell. Hell, even "hacking" still has the connotation of some criminal activ

It got me thinking that the 2012 line of Apple products is the last one which was actually good. Since then it was constant decline in engineering quality and increase in price. I'm sure that Steve Jobs issued a memo before his departu

by dschuetz 8y ago
I'm having a deja-vue. 25 years ago Apple was facing a similar decline in product diversity, innovation and novelty. With Steve Jobs gone forever I don't think Apple will survive that one. By a long shot Apple will burn through th

"Every move has consequences" - That is absolutely brilliant! Is there any better way to explain such an abstract life concept to kids who can't see the consequences of whatever they do?

Sleep is a twilight zone where personal problems get either amplified so that they become tangible or even get solved. He's right about one thing: it's not only 8 hours minimum you need, you should care about the quality of sleep

You forgot to mention Quantum Cloud Computing. The first killer feature of the new and fantastic Quantum Internet.

I believe that foremost it's pattern recognition and abstraction that is tested in IQ tests. No matter in what field people who excel at pattern recognition or abstraction, or both are considered very talented. Yet, other peers in the

It appears that when an article gets many hits at a time a paywall is triggered. So, the title is clickbaity, then it gets submitted to HN, a few people read it, then suddenly it's paywalled. Right. Moving on, nothing to see here.

Stop submitting paywalled articles. It's really annoying.

You see, your mom doesn't compile software with basic toolchains that have existed since the beginning of the computer era. I'm OK with the fact that your mom, or anybody else's mom, or spouse, or sister uses an iPad now, ins

Exactly the point why I've been asking myself: why oh why does Apple say "That huge thing, like, totally replaces the laptop!" Apple clearly has some outlandish understanding of what a computer is, no surprise. But let's

Well, I hoped for an actual review. What I got was "The iPad Pro is always ready to go ... which is, like, totally amazing! Yeaas!" The most pro points he makes are based on features which are actually a normality. The whole thing

I would like to see more projects that make robust self-hosting easier and friendlier. That would make decentralization of the Internet services actually more fun. Today, only people who basically live inside terminal emulators have a fai

I believe that there is no one-fits-all recipe for critical thinking, because its more of a personal thing. It depends on your motivation for starters. Ever caught yourself thinking "Why do I need to question everything ?"? Well,

Most of the pre-Intel era systems are still functional. In contrast, since 2007 I burned through 4! MacBooks, 3 of them were Pro with failing Nvidia graphics. The G5 systems were the last very good engineered Apple computers at the time, al

I have the dual G5 2GHz standard model and it's still kickin'! Sure, the clock battery is way beyond its lifetime. But with a modern Linux distro and ntp it's a minor setback.

Yes! The Internet is a giganto conspiracy theory! No, you're wrong, it's the CIA! They asked DARPA to develop ARPA net, remember?
