In #6, I'm not sure if Occam's razor is an actual proof of anything. Not countering the rest of the arguments, but I just can't see why Occam's razor should have any authority over anything except the things we already t

The only reason I don't use Firefox is mozilla. I will never use it as long as it's under mozilla. I use Vivaldi, choosing to support a smaller, genuine business with no bullshit. I hope they'll eventually to develop their ow

I'm not a Physicist. From what I understand, Bell's theorem only covers local hidden-variables and that this can still be explained using non-local theories like Bohm's. Can someone shed a bit of light on the non-local theori

Teams I've worked with lately use squash merge with the PR summary set to the issue number and issue summary from the issue tracking system. So, there are links to the issue and the PR from both systems if we need to track down why som

I was thinking the same too. Even for myself, I just own a laptop and a smart phone. If I could get rid of the phone I would. No smart watches, home automation devices, wearable fitness devices, none. I've used some of them at one poin

Same here. Package management was non existent at the time, not sure how it is now. There are pointers without pointer arithmetic, I really don't know why they are there. If you already know programming you will be fine with go, but if

I think the state of affairs with the mobile world is the worst. I can't help but think that Android was the worst disaster that happened to software industry. Android corrupted the ethos of FOSS, decimated all hopes for privacy, contr

There's the profiles in Vivaldi. That's what I use and I found it to be better than Firefox's multi account containers because I don't have to choose the container each time I open the site.

Can't we just get together and build an opensource browser? Considering how we are building very complex things without these executives, middle managers and all the corporate bs. It could be our gift to the next generation of engineer

I'm not sure if languages are designed to build libraries or apps specifically. The languages I use are designed to communicate with a computer. It's the frameworks that dictate how we package a set of instructions. So a "pur

This is kind of exactly what I mean too. In your case, you have a clear idea of what might be going on. But a vast majority just don't. They trust the wrong parties and place blame in the wrong places. At least this is the case with th

I think most under 40 don't know that Google Chrome and Google Search are two separate things let alone VPNs and containers. When these people say "surveillance" they mean they think that Facebook magically hears it when they

I personally find the ritual boring but it's not without its value. Below are a few points I've found useful to me personally. 1. I get to see the progress of the project as a whole on a daily basis. Without the stand ups, I proba

> "For those unfamiliar with the term, ‘real-time’ does not mean ‘fast’, it means ‘predictable’." So, if a system is predictable up to an upper bound of one year, is that still real-time? My understanding of real-time was prett

That's interesting. In my case, I hardly edit urls manually in the address bar. Usually I end up on a site either by clicking on links or copying and pasting a whole url from elsewhere. So, when I click on the address bar it's alm

I think this is a very different scenario. In this case you have the option to not give up your personal information and walk away. If one particular grocery store is gaming you, you can go to a different store, or use an online store. If a

I don't think it's meaningful to let defendant review the code each trial. Such code reviews should have been done before it was ever allowed to be used in the legal system. On the other hand, there's always the more practica

I'm wondering why a company like Microsoft didn't try this who I feel is far better poised to create something like Stadia. They already have publishers for both Windows and XBox so they could support anyone one of those platforms

Can't you just "share" the page via email, a messenger or a cloud drive? This is what I usually do. I use Vivaldi and Brave but I've never used sync feature of any browser I've used.

Same here. In fact, I've more or less stopped reading emails, listening to speeches from higher ups because there's literally no useful information in those other than empty, abstract phrases. One of those experiences was a series

The failure rate doesn't need to be 0%. If the solution is good, at least it'll be close to 0% which means that it'd be possible for the vendor to provide better support for the small number of mistakes so that they can be cl

Whatever people may think what mathematicians think, this comment describes the real situation best as I've experienced it. Most pure mathematicians I've met/worked with actually look down (in a jocular way) on applied mathem

But since more babies should be born without DS, despite more diagnoses of DS due to more tests, shouldn't the negatives also increase (more) after the amniocentesis? I expect both positives and negatives to increase with the increase

Yeah, it's baffling that there was no one there to link the new machine with the uptick in the diagnoses. It's almost like they didn't care at all that there was an increased number of diagnoses.

I feel that this is becoming true of much of the internet. The number of lame, banal blog posts that I come across is just insane. A lot of the tech blogs are just cheap ripoffs of original documentation/examples or just fluff. This is
