It’s maybe something about having tools that are intrinsically more powerful. To pick on an example given in the article: File managers that “seamlessly” (air quotes intentional) support multiple network protocols and archive formats have a

True, but as I read from more knowledgeable sources than myself, the problem of the Amiga was that the software was intimately linked to and effectively exposed hardware implementation details. This made upgrading chips nigh impossible with

IMHO we shouldn't define the problem in terms of reducing legislation into some computer language or schema; indeed the effort should be in describing and linking the terms into a graph with consistency validation rules and shape ident

I was about to post the same. After all, if I can mow my lawn with an electric mower without electrocuting myself with just a little bit of route planning, can't farmers do just the same?

Yup, imagine a world where a Tesla would be so backwards-compatible you could shove coal into its furnace to power a steam turbine that charges its batteries to drive its motors. That’s Windows :D

Well, it’s a special kind of stupid to introduce renewable energy without using it to displace fossil fuels. Science says we’re already pretty much fucked if we don’t go full-on panic mode, and here we are, still wasting this opportunity, i

That’s parochial, the Apple Store is global not just a US thing. Folks, Apple has many faults and they’re certainly leaning on their position but don’t undermine your arguments with outrage comments

I’m a software developer contractor. By the nature of my work I often have to suffer the “corporate fog”, a sort of induced stupor caused by multiple layers of middle management, generic performance objectives, knowledge loss due to churn a

I’ll quickly try: there are a handful of big supermarket chains - the article and the video reportage mention Coop, Conad, Gruppo Selex, Esselunga, Eurospin - that set prices and mandatory discounts. They essentially don’t compete, and fair

No, I’m not. In Italy it’s common to see markups of 600% on veggies at the supermarket. There are few intermediaries and they get to dictate prices, mandatory discounts, and run double-discounted auctions (which the legislature is trying to

Nope, you should do your research before reaching for your guns. In Italy for example it’s a well known, scandalous situation that’s been going on for years. Apologies for the Italian links but that’s all I could find for now: https:/

I wonder how would it work if they ripped out all the crufty apps and UI configuration tools and replaced them with simple (dumbed down) controls like Gnome or Apple do. All the more advanced knobs made available via Powershell, also like G

Indeed, when I had a chance to play around with one I thought it was a pretty decent take for a first try. I had no idea Google played this dirty trick, if that’s how it went they’d indeed deserve a thorough spanking for it. I suspect Micro

Uh no, Italy failed to enforce social distancing in the two most critical transmission choke points: public transport and health care. In the months after the first wave nobody bothered leasing new vehicles for an already over-capacity publ

In my experience, when resources become too scarce and competition too tight, actors start working on the surest bets, or playing the authority card or the most sensational moonshots. IOW, real science gets shown the door and politicking se
