Real land derives it's value from multiple sources. First of all, there's only so much surface area on the Earth - thus there's only a finite amount of land available. Limited supply. Secondly, people need a place to live, co

The whole idea of trading and prices going up, only works for rivalrous goods[1]. Digital property (including but not limited to metaverse land) is inherently non-rivalrous - and therefore not really suited for this kind of profiteering. Bu

Well, Microsoft is contractually the ONLY founding member of their foundation, and the statutes define that the executive officer has to come from the founding member, and that every decision the foundation makes has to be approved by the e

That does not seem particularly unusual to me? This is a piece of formerly proprietary software, that is now being made open source. So of course almost all contributors would be employees of the former owner of the proprietary version of t

It would seem, that Amazon "donated" the Lumberyard/CryTec Engine to the Open 3D foundation, which is a newly created subsidiary of the Linux foundation. It's available under very permissive licenses - Apache 2.0 or MIT,

Different setups will come with vastly differing requirements for their backends and frontends. So, depending on how your project works, what tech-stack is being used etc., it might be that either backend OR frontend is "easier" f

Obviously, this has more powerful hardware than the Pocket 2 - but to me, it feels less appealing than the Pocket 2 in every other aspect. Most noticeably size. It's significantly larger and thicker than the Pocket 2 - and size is the

So, basically, you want the laptop to turn off and stay off, by just closing the lid. The reason this doesn't always happen, might be down to Windows Update I presume (or some other application preventing shut-down). Maybe, you can loo

I remember similar things happening in the past. "Cloud" was a very ill-defined term once - many companies threw it around, often in completely nonsensical fashion. The cloud turned out to not be that magical future some where pre

Well, in that case all the current debate is meaningless. Facebook already is a digital ecosystem company - they aren't changing anything at all.

That's why I'm asking for a more precise definition. To me, it seems kinda hard to discuss the implications of something, when you don't understand what it is - or when the people discussing it, have incompatible ideas of wha

I think what is sorely missing from the entire debate, is a clear definition of what a metaverse actually is. This article here seems to believe that the metaverse is nothing but "internet VR". The talk by Carmack for the most par

There are a few quite interesting arguments hidden in that article, that are genuinely worth taking a closer look at. I feel though, that the needlessly aggressive tone does do those arguments a disservice, by burying them under a ton of ve

cdn.office.net is fully, unrestrictedly accessible. Also, I believe those re-authentications are actually ALL the app is doing in those moments. It's not actually loading anything, not emojis, not notifications or anything else (all of

Seems unlikely. It usually works fine for an hour or two after restarting the app - and then it suddenly starts refreshing endlessly as fast as it can. There's no visible reason why it would suddenly be doing so many API requests, and

While it is true that Teams does often use inexplicably high amounts of CPU and network bandwidth (at least on my machine) - I'm not sure that Electron is at fault - at least not in my case. I only figured it out by accident - through

Well, I guess I'm better off keeping a good distance form that NuScrum stuff - I'll be sticking with the original Scrum ;) And yeah, I'll keep calling the old one just "Scrum", as it always was called, whether or no

I politely disagree. I've read the book "Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time" by Jeff Sutherland and J.J. Sutherland which goes into the history of how Scrum was invented, and the ideas and philosophy behi

It can be beneficial if done right - but most places just don't do it right at all. I've even seen officially certified scrum masters using it in ways that go completely against the ideas that are behind it. The main idea of Scrum

For most behavioural profiling stuff it should be sufficient to just know which page element the mouse was over, no pixel-precise x/y coordinates needed. But if a mouse enters element A at time x, then enters element B at time x+n, and

I fully agree - that can be very tricky indeed. But I think your response on VIM does add another great point to this discussion: nobody would have considered VIM incomplete for not having JSON support, before JSON even existed. In theory,

It's absolutely crazy, how much information you can reliably read "between the lines" if you just collect enough data. For example check out this CCC-talk by David Kriesel - in which he demonstrates how much you can figure ou
