I was going to call this "a less-feature rich Delphi without Borland's corporate greed", but then I noticed that Delphi is apparently still alive (somehow?). Delphi was one of my earliest programming experiences in the 90s. B

Is it really an open ecosystem if there's only one real implementation? Is there really a specification if the reference implementation is the real specification? Do we want to put all of our eggs into one basket? YMMV, but for me the

Come now. Water prices for industry are often orders of magnitude cheaper than for residential use.

Easier said than done. Running a datacentre at scale is a costly operation with large up front investments. Revamping the cooling is another large cost. Maybe one that will save money in the long run, but still a big investment.

Care to elaborate on why you think it's crap, instead of just shitting on it? The latter is not terribly helpful to the discussion.

I'm not talking about the client ecosystem. I'm talking about the server ecosystem. There is only one fully-featured one, Synapse, everything else is in Alpha or Beta, feature-incomplete, or abandoned. When I looked into writing m

Can we get a federated messenger already? Sure, we have email, but the MS/Google duopoloy has effectively unfederated that, with their inscrutable block lists and nonexistent appeals processes, allegedly in order to protect you from sp

When I was a 13 year old precocious nerd, I had a friend who was a few years older than me who sort of took me under his wing. I don't know what he ever saw in me, but he took the time to introduce me to FreeBSD and Linux. He helped me

This seems like the most feasible part of the whole operation to me. International cooperation in these weird times being the least believable part.

Great that treatment options are improving. But there are still serious bottlenecks in medicine. It seems to be a universal truth that getting a CT/MRI comes with a long wait time. General Practitioners often wait too long to order ima

Yeah, I hate it. I've mostly tweaked mine to be as close to an address bar as possible, but I still haven't found a way to fully revert it to an address bar. I don't mind it searching in my history or bookmarks. But automatic

Bold of you to assume that that's what they'll use the freed resources on. From everything I've seen over the last couple of years, it seems more likely they'll spend more time on AI garbage no one wants, and will increa

Tech workers are often part of unions over here (Belgium), the same as anyone else. Let me tell you that unions do not make for a panacea. Among my working (not necessarily tech) peers, anti-union sentiment has been increasing. Likely becau

The lack of (legal) recourse (in practice, if not in theory) against large multinational monopolists like YT is the real problem here. Imagine if a policeman came to your house every time you played the piano to fine you for nonexistent cop

CORS != hyperlinks. CORS is about random websites in your browser accessing other domains without your say-so. Websites doing stuff behind your back does feel antithetical to Tim Berners Lee's ideals...

by elric 1y ago
The mistake was putting CORS on the server side. It should have been part of the browser. "Facebook.com wants to access foo.example.com: y/n?" But then we would have had to educate users, and ad peddlers would have lost reven

That doesn't seem right. Can't speak to macOS, but on Android every application is sandboxed. Restricting its capabilities is trivial. Android apps certainly ARE blocked from reading files, except for some files in its storage and

Where does the energy go in this case? The ships would have to be pretty large to have any kind of impact. Should they extract CO2 from the air using the generated power?
