But we are getting better, right? Despite undoubtedly repeating a lot mistakes (and often times being foolishly ignorant of that), some collective knowledge is surely being retained, otherwise we would not make progress in basically all s

Now that's just unlucky for parent :) The great thing about the touch screen is not the UI experience, but the flexibility when it comes to updates that also include new features. When you go the hardware controller route on a product

Sure… but that is always true when it comes to law. I just don't see how that makes the situation worse for the people? I don't want to be tracked by marketing emails without consent (or, more realistically, ever, because please).

All of us greatly benefit from things that were created without our contribution, and I agree, often times it's both absurd and perverse. To this end, I don't think copyright warrants special attention, over, say, immigration or i

Ansible, AWS, SES, React and Cloudflare? Gusto, Notion and 10th of different services and integrations? That's boring now? I was expecting something more along the lines of PHP + a single MySQL machine, plus all the accounting is done

This is incredibly naive in a reality, where the POTUS can contradict himself on social media – with traceable evidence dating back often not more than a week – and absolutely nothing coming of it. Right now, when it comes to public opinion

Sometimes I am astonished by the life other people apparently lead. For example when they'd invest the energy to switch their bank (and all that is attached to that) over using a different browser to access a singular website. I do not

It is a measure to limit personal freedom in exchange for protection against coercion at the workplace. Does it work? Apparently not in this case. Do I agree? Who cares. Do I get the idea? Well, yes. Seems pretty straight forward.

Weird, yes, in a way. KSP always looked and felt very OSS to me. But in hindsight it seems very hard to argue with the route they chose, given the immense, improbable success they had.
