Knitting is really big still. One of the biggest lobbies for copyright and IP legislation is (no kidding) the industry that creates patterns for sewing and knitting. Put out feelers on social media, see how many of your associates knit whic

This is totally correct, but I think it's also correct to say there is a huge vendor lock-in component to serverless. People make the claim that you can engineer your application to be vendor agnostic, but even if that's the case,

I really liked Vimium, but I ran into a problem where it just annihilated CPU and I had to uninstall it. It's probably been a few version changes since then, so I might give it a try again.

I have a Myo, and it's the device which taught me that what I'm actually interested in is interface technology that reduces my movement cost, and the Myo -- while being a pretty cool device and also one of the few that actually wo

This is why I have a real hard time buying anything other than a Thinkpad, because of the trackpoint. If I have to move my wrists from where they're planted on the keyboard, it feels about as annoying as having to get up off the couch

It's right there in my last post. Ivy League universities are not a public resource. Also, a tragedy of the commons is a tragedy of the commons, and you are being really disingenuous trying to compare control on the inputs of an Ivy

Yes, absolutely! And everyone in Uganda (and Kenya) has a mobile phone, and a lot of people use them for payments since banking isn't universal there, and mobile payments have emerged as a core mechanism for the secure transfer of fund

What in the hell about this post got it downvoted? How bizarre.

Huh, it's an interesting idea, that Ivy League is a public resource. I don't agree with that, because they're private institutions. I can see where you're coming from, though, and I'd say that's a super-populis

That's the trap, and Seneca wrote some compelling stuff about recognizing the trap and avoiding it. It is aptly titled "On the Shortness of Life"...

I think the importance of this cannot be understated. The Secretary of State is a nexus of not only extremely sensitive information, but of extremely sensitive information in motion which is also in overseas locations more often than not.

I did, twice, and I'm about to go on a third run (though this time it's not because of any particular run of back luck with the job market). I have a weird-looking resume that doesn't look quite right at first blush, and most

I agree with you, but this is not a tragedy of the commons.

Yes, yes. But what brings in the research dollars ?

I agree with you, but there's a joke about npm and leftpad in here somewhere.

Not even close. Prostitution has a hugely varied place in the world today, and it's basically impossible to say anything about prostitution that holds true across history.

I could either choose to load the mouse and MS Windows. Or I could choose to load the modem and soundcard and stick to running DOS. And now you know why I never felt like using Windows was necessary for me. Incidentally, in my circle of fri

This is where the ancient Stoics come in handy. I still struggle mightily with these kinds of things every single day, but we are animals, after all. It is certainly a lot easier for me than it was before I started studying stoicism, though

Hah! Hey, well, you're right... It seems I'm also not immune to AWS propaganda. Regardless, my original point stands: Serverless doesn't mean infinitely-scalable. There are machines somewhere running those containers, and if

Oooohhhhh, okay. Right! Now it makes sense, even though I'm probably late to the game. Buying Github and turning it into a some kind of app store -- or merging it with the existing Windows/MS app store -- is totally the kind of

But if you have Optimus working at all, you dumped a couple of weekends into it, right? The dual-graphics auto-switching thing (which I had on my old W530 and now again on my P50) is jank city even with properly tuned "bumblebee"

Little positive impact. Microsoft has shit on open source for years and had a negative impact on your life as an open source user. I know that you know this, just saying it for the sake of saying it.
