Back in the day, I bought an office software and I owned it. Now, I rent it and over years, it costs me 5* more. Back in the day, computer games were paid once. Or if you had a pack. Now, it is a series of $1-$2 small sales for thing here a

This sounds a lot like... when you move into a property, and you don't maintain it like your own, less than 2 years, things start to break. My wife or I clean all bathrooms with strong cleaner, every week. I suppose, the author did not

I don't think it is true. There are massive communities around tools far more simple than Ableton was even a decade ago, like SP404, Akai MPCs, Elektron Digitakt. Many musicians treat any item as an instrument, not as a plaform. There

Most of the attacks on Rust, I have seen, have nothing in common what people are implementing Rust. It has a lot in common with the fact Rust is very low level language, a direct C++ competitor, and many people use it for apps that could be

Oh yes, absolutely. For hundreds of thousands of years, every elderly person had something like 8 children, 40 grandchildren and was busy with them. Now, people fill this time with TV, because if they have kids, they live 5000 km away.

"The average person gets no benefit from this" this is a very bad take. In Europe, innovation in the end help everyone. Better healthcare starts with the rich, and ends distributed to everyone. The same is true for everything else

I think you oversimplify things a bit. Are those names erased during compilation? It has a massive impact. If you have indirect calls, how are those resolved? That matters a lot. What is even the language, after the code is compiled/in

I don't want to be overly negative, but it seems to me that author considers just different flavours of C. There is a massive difference between Clojure, Prolog, and Forth. The whole: type name = value—type-focused name: type

I guess, these things are long somewhere in the mind, before people execute. People change countries, partners, careers not because of one book. This is usually the last drop. They were long-term unhappy, yearning for something else. And as

As always, it takes into account only a subset of what constitutes wealth. The state owns national parks, army equipment, buildings... Also, the state owns an impact on regulated companies, subsidies, etc. Just the US army receives funding

Oh yes, this is 100% accurate. Very often, when designing ERP, or other system, people think: "This is easy, I just this XYZ I am done." Then, you find that there are many corner use-cases. XYZ can be split to phases, you might ne

Even browse-wrap is legally binding, if visible enough (and it is visible just under the confirmation button on that massive Cookie Acceptance modal dialog when you come to YouTube).

It is legally binding. By accepting ToS, or using service with ToS, you are entering a legal contract. And as long as ToS isn't breaking laws (like Digital Services Act in EU, or Online Safety Act in the UK) it can be fully enforced. H

If you look for examples of something good, or something bad, you will always find them. I think, when we look at all social phenomenons, we need to look on the whole system. What is the role of religion? When religion is not there, what fi

Sorry for a super late answer. The reason those studies are just correlational, is because in social sciences, you don't really have many other tools. There are no axioms, deduction is impossible. So that part of the argument is not re

Religion is a major factor, that impacts your lifestyle, community, happiness and longevity. In most cases, positively. There are studies proving it. So yes, most religions if not all are based on unscientific claims, but they make people&#

If this happens, everyone is his personal CEO from that moment on. Yes, I want it. It would 100* our GDP, and make people significantly more independent. Mix it with open source unbiased AI, living on a land large enough to feed you and you

I have answered that already. Either lose funding, or comparable other universities should be funded so all relevant spectrum is covered. Federally funded institutions should cater for all Americans. The army, police, schools, hospitals...

If they receive federal funding, they should represent Americans. If 100% of Americans will be Democrats, then it can be this monoculture. If more people shift to Green politics, or Libertarian, it should represent those more too. If there

If the university was founded by the government, it should represent Americans. All of them. Half of Americans are conservative. Approx. half of academia should be conservative. Harvard is older than both parties. There is no good reason wh

The demands are simple and not confusing at all. - Stop promoting Democrats' agendas as the ultimate truth; stop bullying people for non-Democratic views - Allow Republicans' agendas to be equally represented Is it really so diffi

You assume EU united would act strongly in favour of Ukraine. But there's no guarantee of that. There are significant differences in how for example, Poland approaches Ukraine with how Germany does it. I think, nations with bad histori

I wonder, what are the alternatives now? Tresorit? Self-hosted Nextcloud?

It doesn't have to be microservices. You can use modular architecture. You can use polylith. You can have boundaries in your code and mock around them.

In the end, graduates are going to pay for it. But I wouldn't necessarily tie the university with its graduates. What if somebody drops-off? What if, in the future, students will be able to combine classes (and get credits) from 3 univ

I don't think car traffic leads to economic decline. It changes how people spend their time. Let's say in 15 minutes, I can walk 1 km, go 5 km on a bike, 10 km with a public transport and 15 km with a car. Area = pi * radius*2 Wal

I wouldn't want it. Even if all countries implemented it, the first country that cancels it gets an advantage in attracting wealth. It's also inefficient, punishes good behaviours (saving and investing), requires the state knowing

Twitter is not unmoderated. I don't know how many people I muted, banned, or how many times I clicked that I don't want to see something. Over time, Twitter gets better. This being said, I prefer doing my moderation myself instead
