I think I was never convinced so I can't be disillusioned... In general terms: big tech know IT have started to be spread enough to makes people thinking back at classic desktops, hosting own services and so on, making their business m

That's why China have almost committed suicide with the one-child policy. That's why all who can try push automation at maximum... That's also why some neo-malthussian think we should drop to around 3G humans, not saying dire

One point is being flexible: we know the world change, in the end that's have happened countless of times, but we don't know exactly how it will change. So we need to been able to relocate both human settlements and food productio

Like it or not the absence of PUBLIC research, of OPEN standard, impede an economy of scale that China have. Simply. Like software must be FLOSS to keep evolving, cars must be built on common components with open standards where the design,

That's because some interested parties have advertised containers, because they are good to sell as pre-built stuff, nice to sell VPS and alike etc, while pure IaC is useful for anyone and invite NOT to be dependent on third party plat

Ehm... It's impressive in tech terms, but as a solder assistant, nutcracker and not so skilled cooking assistant it's a little bit overpriced.......... We can benefit much from robotics but humanoid for at current state of tech is

NixOS and Guix System offer a far lighter and more reproducible approach, who also not push many running images build by unknown on the internet direct in production, full of outdated deps, wasting in the meantime storage and cpu resources.

Not so adherent to the article topic but more related to the title: I suspect a large number of people is incapable to evolve, no matter what. They have learnt something and they want to keep that for their entire life, no matter if it&#x27

Well, I do not know in the US, but here in EU the main problem with renewables is the absurd price they have: I've built some years ago a small domestic p.v. system myself since here is legal (France, certifications is done by energy g

Well, for me being in UE with eIDAS docs I have just a response: implement eIDAS and I'll give you a certified ID out of my public docs, nothing else. If you want a proof of my identity you'll get the best proof. Otherwise you jus

Well... The issue with encrypted zfs + raw send is that a pool encrypted with a common key for all volume became an individual key per volume, a non-RAW send means your target read your files. If you use a keyfile this is a non-issue. If yo

Well... If you have to monitor the workers physical location, then you can't measure productivity, right? So, you want people in offices for side city-business (human animal intensive farming) but since you know they work equally from

I generally smile, sourly, to people "coming back" to some software project, no matter witch. Sw is not a product, it can't be, sw is not an isolated thing, it works with the rest of the world so it's not possible to &qu

Current web issues IMVHO are: - it's not personal, yes we can save much contents, but it's not that manageable nor can be evolved much easier personally, we need a textual web, where anyone can grab text, store it locally naturall

Well, what's available in large parts of the world are unsustainable settlements, some due to their place, too prone to floods, wildfires, ... many with subsidence problems, many with aging and irreplaceable infra and so on. So what&#x

In my post I'm talking generically about "why cities in 2024" not counting actual cities. Where I live now, is a spread area of single family homes and around here I still have a supermarket (grocery store) a 1' car, ele

by kkfx 2y ago
As answered below that's not what others have observed and more relevant is the capacity to evolve. A NEW mid-rise building and a NEW set of single family homes matching the number of apartment show that the mid-rise new building consu

Honestly? No. I've build a new home and do heat with heat pumps both the home and sanitary water, it's efficient and effective. In the old home there is only minisplit aircon and classic gas heating. Why? Simply because we can&#x2

Of course, but preference and efficiency are different things: people who like living in cities have all the rights to clearly state that, as a personal preference, as I state mine, but they can't describe their life as efficient or ec

Apache Guacamole is FLOSS actually, RustDesk as well, while not much known they do offer such service already, Guacamole as a web-desktop, RustDesk as a classic desktop sharing app. But honestly we do not need this paradigm, we do need file

A simple note: why people should want to live there? If there is no more work in cities except for city services, witch happen to be more and more bound to some bigger/external entities, so no real margins to evolve for any local compa

Honestly I'm not at all convinced, it seems to be another try to push childish stuff in modern systems... Yes, widgets based GUIs are designed with a specific aspect ratio and size in mind, DocUIs tend to be designed with an aspect

Well, IMVHO you just look at Eclipse perspectives for desktop, meaning something to save and restore a set of apps in a relevant layout. Virtual desktops are the poor man's handcrafted solution for that. Try to visualize EXWM|a fullscr

Did you try just seeing Plan 9 GUIs? They do more than what you ask and better, you do not need to "pull out toolbars", you simply create them typing functions names in a relevant place. Try Pharo and you'll see and even powe
