Try to elaborate: land use, as long as the soil is not sealed (so humus remain alive) it's not a "cost" nor an issue except for some hyper-dense countries. The Nederland and Belgium are very dense as a nation, yet most live i

Oh yeah, what could go wrong in such mega-project....... In IT we learnt that mainframes was gem of tech but it's better to build many cheap desktops in cluster... In the aerospace mega-planes are mostly relic of the past because yes t

That's just another example why we can't remain urbanized in the modern era. In the past there was no choice, now we can choose and meanwhile tech evolution have pushed the needs of so much infra that being dense instead of costin

Well... Having an diggable history is a nice to have thing, but "long term" and "commercial service" are an oxymoron... The only long term is owning anything on their own iron and possibly with a little-to-no-deps sw sta

There is another important and too often ignored situation: sw availability. Let's say a day BeanCount (my preferred personal finance software) disappear, well, so far I can switch to Ledger or HLegder, the switch demand a bit of rg&#x

Rebasing is a way to cleanup when a project have a useless history because of too many small commits, badly described and so on. A dangerous way, but still a way. The issue is another: git does next to nothing to handle forks. We can cherr

Personally: - desktops are now considered "endpoints" or "bootloader for a WebVM" (the monsters improperly named browsers for legacy reasons); - desktop are the CORE of computing, as long as they are classic networked de

No doubt. But can we remove such packaging? I'm not in that business so I do not really know, but I suppose not. While we can remove the ready made food. It's not differently than cars: can we have BEVs? Yes. Can we have BEV-truck
