Yeah same here, I also always jokingly wondered why the CS curriculum doesn’t include history of CS, similar to history of wizardry in Harry Potter but the older I get, the more i think this would be a reasonable idea, if it would discuss w

I‘m from Germany, so I’m close to France but still have an outside perspective and your comment is ridiculous.

Every time I see something like this, the onus of being professional lies solely on the employee. I just don’t care anymore. I’ve met enough “unprofessional” people that were the most productive in their team to know that unprofessional is

We are definitely spoiled on modern systems. But imo, this convenience is unreasonably costly. It is baffling to me that modern devices with ghz clock rates can hardly render guis and websites responsibly. At the moment everyone swoons over

I have an iPad with a Magic Keyboard that looks quite similar if you squint (albeit a bit bigger). But I can probably do a fraction of the things on it that the GDP will be able to do. I wonder why? Better hardware? Makes you wonder.

I‘m from Germany and even I found the vastness of everything in the US remarkable. In some regards it‘s amazing: the country itself, the national parks, the wide roads, parking space, buildings. In other regards it‘s obscene: beverage sizes

It still sucks, but there is no obligation for your real name and it shouldn’t be that hard find an anonymous payment method.

I‘m not condoning piracy (cue for exceptions like defunct license servers), I merely tried to ponder why I don’t think this change is for the benefit of the user and what its purpose is. I don’t know whether it will be as easy to pirate, bu

You can still get pirated versions of CC everywhere. Adobe didn’t act like they had the benefit of their users in mind in recent years, so there’s no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t care about subscriptions in general and why should I? Netflix adds new content and my VPS is also a subscription, it just doesn’t call itself that. They have running costs and I’m not dependent on them. But there are services where

Seconded! A rough ETA would be appreciated since my MBP2013 is on it's last legs and I'm holding out for the Framework because I love the philosophy behind it.

According to Peter Thiel, Google is a de-facto monopoly in search-engines and online advertising (apart from social media). I think that's an accurate take. They are in this position because of their "winner takes it all" att

I had a SD for extended storage in my MacBook (until I upgraded the SSD, those were the times), but if we’re being honest this is an issue created by the ridiculous storage prices Apple charges. Otherwise you’d just buy a large enough SSD w

Most languages get by with way fewer features and somehow people still manage to write programs in them. If you ask 100 programmers which language has the worst feature creep, 99 will say C++ and maybe one person APL ;)

Good point. Especially since a lot of software these days is not all that cache friendly. Realistically this means we have 2 years or so till further abstractions eat up the performance gains.

HDMI makes more sense imo. You can hook up an SD card with adapter, connect the camera via USB-C or wireless. With Displays you aren’t as flexible.

I feel like I’m alone with this opinion, but: I can’t buy one of these, as much as I’d like to. I still have to use windows half of the time because of software that’s missing on MacOS. So either I get to buy and maintain 2 laptops or settl

It's a choice between two evils. Unless you use some de-googled Android and but then you enter another world of pain. The truth is, there's no alternative to Apple or Google and that's the real problem.

Why not if one is better than they other? There is fanboyism, which is unproductive and then there’s sober comparison of objective measures of privacy. And I want to know which is better. So as long as someone presents facts that help me ma

If I take a dump I have to ensure to dispose it properly, because the fecal disposal is tightly regulated by many states, therefore taking a dump is a political issue.
