Do I need to know how to pilot a helicopter to know that's its a complex and expensive machine? The response is quite mind boggling. Are you really implying a vehicle with engine, safety systems that have been refined for a century and

Lets not pretend that the value is even comparable here. You can get a modern car with safety, speed and reach that is hundred if not thousand times ahead of this electric bike. It's purely a high-class fashion vehicle and there's

"back to top" is just such an epitome of how out of touch some modern design is. We had buttons on our keyboards that did this for half a century now. As for phones it should be up to the web-browser to implement it, nobody wants

Stallman was right story once again, huh? He argued that the best way to monetize libre software is to sell training/education and 80% of OP's income come from the educational screen-casts. Maybe the lesson here is that if you wan

I feel a bit the opposite. I've been totally spoiled by gitlab to the point where contributing to libre github projects has started becoming difficult. We use gitlab at work and it has been great, though we have really great sysadmins

As someone who's not fond of apple ecosystem I'm both excited and afraid. Processing space can definitely use more competition, though I'd be more interested in actual GPU efforts as CPUs are pretty boring unless you're

And thank god for these people. I do not miss <blink> tags and all of the things that were used in to fill up the lovely, underappreciated white-space.

It applies everywhere. People recover much faster at home than any hospital, even a pretty one.

At one point abolishing paper cash is even remotely plausible? maybe in 100 years? So far cash rules majority of the world and I don't see it going away any time soon.

This just another cat and mouse that just proves how flawed PoW is. It will always favor people who have access to cheap power thus consolidating the chain in the hands of few powerful people.

I'm in a constant perplex by Cloudflare. It's one of those mega corporations that seem to consist of 95% marketing and sales. Looking at the program table I can't help but have this feeling reaffirmed. > I keep reminding o

Using phone number as ID has been proven idiotic since forever now. As much as I like Signal this is such a design flaw that it makes their software not only untrustable but often unusable too. What's wrong with email logins?

I've recently started integrating PyCharm's debugger more instead of python native tools and it really has been a life changer! My favorite tiny unique feature is that it injects variable values as temp comments in the code as the

160++ character long lines are almost unreadable in my opinion. Any readable material should stick to 60-80 characters per line.

Funny to see this thread to be complete opposite with a lot of praises, e2e discussions and mastodon onboarding. I feel that Mr. Gargron has been his own worst enemy at times. Mastodon.social instance is notoriously bad, overmoderated and o

As much as I agree with you, is "inclusivity" ever used maliciously? I'm running some coding events and while I'm a firm believer in meritocracy often giving the space to outsiders or unusual folk end up in more interest
