Yes, but the problems are always multifaceted. So sometimes even an apparent weakness might come off as a strength or a non-issue in a different situations. For example it's interesting that for all its technical excellence Windows isn

The more I saw the "So What" slide after each deficiency exposed, the more I saw it as subverting the whole presentation. Yes, there are problems, but it appears that didn't prevent UNIX&Linux from persisting and succeedi

We used to say "it's just a job". The more "a job" becomes the center of life and meaning, the more all other aspects of "life" seep into it. Leisure, family, values, religion, all of it. Maybe "chang

As far as I understand it (from skimming through a couple of docs and presentations), DIDs are similar to specs for assertions and/or attributes which are stored in a blockchain which functions as federation metadata datastore and IdP

Fascinating! Imagine such conversation: Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Tolkien: "Yes! Because it IS! magic." Clarke looking baffled at the response and trying to explain i

I'm afraid k8s would become like git - it's a great tool out of which we mostly use like 5% of it's complete capabilities, yet we all use it because everyone is using it. Yet, k8s doesn't really make all the underlying s

Wow, this pretty much sums the modern post(trans?)-human worldview. Old world meets the new world.

Agreed. When I saw Pisa Cathedral from 11th century in person it made me think ... There was no dramatic collapse in 5th century. Yes, a lot of upheaval, but I guess a lot of engineering knowledge from the Roman Empire period was preserved

Yes, there is too much meaningless culture which is mere entertainment disguised as culture. But this is just a reality of living: All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its
