Oh boy, I was having a quick brunch at a software industry conference before Corona and I happened to sit next to this dude: he was getting into software testing after having worked his ass off a PhD and a post-doc in physics. Not to berat

So you’re saying that PCB [1] and those pads are more solid than the low profile pins in Lightning? I guess only a mechanical engineer can settle the argument. Anyone? [1] https://www.mouser.sg/new/molex/molex-usb-

Well, I'll keep quiet because who knows how far libel law goes. Having said that, "we've got deadlines" doesn't resonate well with https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1330 smh

Well, as anyone can and will publish, it will be stuffed with junk, porn, trash of all sorts, so my plan was to implement a filter to ignore any data published outside of one’s WOT. Furthermore, a user searching for “reviewed” data and pape

Ah cool… I also took a stab at something similar several years ago: https://github.com/ecausarano/heron Also at the time I was considering IPFS. But I guess the real trick is implementing a WOT to implement peer review

Oh please enough with this "choice" argument. There's a feral organism out there trying to survive by eating us alive and you're whining about "choice"? Let me break out the crayons and draw a simple analogy th

No, no analogy. GMail scans every email and every attachment. Server side because - of course - it’s an online service. It’s main feature is analyzing and indexing so it’s a direct example of a killer feature based on content analysis. Even
