Also, the quality of Uber cars has declined, even within "black" and especially "SUV" classes. So, might as well save the money.

This is great news, if nothing else then because it actually allows programs to grow their heap. Previous emscripten-based solutions have suffered severely from either running out of RAM, or requesting more than they need (and then sometime

You already offer it to me on my screen. If you render to a canvas rather than generate plain text, then I have to use screen readers with built-in OCR to perform "copy," which is a pain. It doesn't protect you, but it makes

We tried a Razer Core on a MacBook but it wouldn't work. Works great with the Razer laptops though! (BTW, you can't even buy any Mac with a decent GPU anymore, no matter what the form factor!)

A new version every year, and space for multiple internal SSDs, would have made it desirable. However, Apple is now milking the old glory and failing to build tomorrow's glory. It's the classic beam counter mistake. It's prob

For somebody on their first or second job, GitHub might matter. Once your time is actually overcommitted by all the things you can do for your employer, half of which aren't even code, GitHub is the wrong priority.

I'd like the putty download to be over https and the installer to be signed. Or, at least, sha512 hashes available on the https download site. As it is, the download source for putty is one of the weakest chains in internet security!

SameSite works if I use the same domain for my API as for my CDN, and don't integrate third party APIs. Doesn't seem to actually solve the real security problems with the web, which is that people don't know how it works, and

The title of the blog is "people before ..." And the writer doesn't understand the social signaling of clothing? Like, at all? First, clothing is really personal, and funding a second skin that "suits me" and "

It's when a group of stones is in danger of being captured in the game of Go, by only having one remaining liberty.

40% efficient, so let's just generate 2.5x as much electricity! (Oh, and remove all of that extra heat with more air conditioning, too!) Even at 95%, I wouldn't want a 1900W cool near my body for fear of burns. (Compare 100W light

Why don't you write your code so you don't have to choose a compiler vendor or runtime? Java today, Rust tomorrow!

"ORM" means "snake" in Swedish, and will bite you.

"Objectivity" doesn't mean that all statements should go unchallenged in media, nor that all sides of an argument should get equal time or treatment. There exists such a thing as objective, empirically verifiable truth, and m

The car is slower, and an order of magnitude less efficient. And efficiency matters -- there's a limit to how much energy can be sustainably spent, and if transportation is more efficient, we get to do more other things.

The coast is already full of private property and protected areas. No way to run a train there (unless you bury it all the way.) SF/LA commuting is still a thing, though, and will be great!

Just stop claiming innocence and sign this confession and everything will be so much easier!

Everybody are taking about job ads. A job offer is something else entirely (and a legal document!)

You will never suffer from that if you install nom so you can install gulp so you can install ivy so you can get my AbstractModernSoftwareOverEngineeringMistakePreventionStrategyHelperFactorySingletonTemplate!

I think that sounds like a lot of fun! But why run on a Stratus? Or seems like a protocol compatible modern server would be simpler?

It's not that privacy isn't locally good if it could be had, it's that or can't be had, and letting only some people (more powerful) have privacy is actively bad. Just like we have to prepare for the post labor society,

C++ is called a "bad" language by people who think go or JavaScript are "good" languages.

They weren't perfectly synced, so I would assume the field audience just all pressed the "go" button at the same time (indicated by handlers with headsets, presumably) Much simpler than localization.

Applied AI will be the next "nobody knew how fundamentally things would change." I don't believe in the singularity (at least as currently envisioned) but I do believe we need to figure out what a society must look like when
