"It works BUT" summarizes my experience with running my top applications on Linux, unfortunately :(

I hear you, but for most applications I don't want a lot of UI because it wastes screen space. It really depends on what I'm doing, but I feel the opposite that you do - most applications I use are full of widgets, separator bars,

We've thrown fantastical amounts on some very uncertain things, like the moon landing. I think that the willingness of betting big at a potentially transformative technology such as AI is a good thing and a bit of a return to the old

Let's say we had a ChatGPT-2000 capable of all of this. How would digital life look like? What people would do with their computers?

Thank you - the old system is very much like what I faced in the 90s in Latin America. You do the test, get blindly ranked and are chosen based on the number of openings and your ranking. You could have been the least diverse human in the w

What's the problem with Parcoursup? Im not French and had never heard about it. I just read the Wikipedia entry but it isn't clear why it causes so much stress to students.

I never understood people who advocate radical succinctness so typing a program is optimal when most programming time is spent in reading documentation and debugging.

Would we be able to execute on a project like today, ignoring political party factors? I mean to ask: do we have enough mature entities in our industry and academia to pull of a project of this scope in 2025?

As a someone who came to the US as a foreign worker, I just want to make one correction. When you say: > From a geo political perspective, would you rather have these people working to build up US industry, or have them starting and staf

I didn't notice it at first but once you said it, it became obvious. There is a cheesiness to LLM comments that is hard for humans to emulate... Although it's still plausible that a person would say something like that.

From the perspective of many non-EU citizens, it's just one more piece of EU legislation that hurts and annoys. Being technically part of the GDPR or not isn't terribly relevant for most people. Note: I'm not defending or cri

And what is common between these 2 eras? I'd say that a market hungry for new content met the people who could deliver it. In both instances, technology enabled the production, consumption and distribution of the new content (the Steam

Python would be the wrong choice. BASIC is the ultimate "batteries included" language. No weirdness hidden behind dynamic types and you can make full games with graphics and sounds (in most implementations) without installing a si

I'm frugal and I can't think of a time I bought clothes I didn't end up wearing them. Back in the 80s when games were expensive, a backlog was unthinkable. Sure, I did but games I didn't play much because I didn't l

Pardon my ignorance... So people actually connect mice and keyboards to the deck? How does that work in terms of playing position? I thought the deck is mostly targeted towards mobile players who will have it on a bed, chair etc where ther

This. Everybody must remember that Steam doesn't sell games. It sells a license to run games on Steam. You "have" games on Steam as much as you "have" the apartment you're currently renting.

That will be sad, although there will still be plenty of great people who will write books anyway. When it comes to a lot of these teachers, I'll say, copyright work hand in hand with college and school course book mandates. I've

Isn't "pirating" a felony with jail time, though? That's what I remember from the FBI warning I had to see at the beginning of every DVD I bought (but not "pirated" ones).

So maybe it's because people are happy with renting games and don't care to keep playing them forever? I'm just wondering if the concern is shared by most consumers. Stop Killing Games could make games more expensive for the

I agree with "Stop Killing Games"' vision of what games should be like. But I don't understand why people care to turn it into a movement... There is SO MUCH choice in games nowadays, including decades of classic games,
