Everyone is supposed to be cheering for how "fun" it is, but every time I see anything like that I cannot help but think, that I hate the fact it can be implemented in Rust. It never truly was a simple language, but I think it sta

No, I think it's pretty fair. One could argue about these, but except for "slow" these are more quality qualifiers, rather than quantity. So you either agree it's "bug-ridden" or not (i.e. the number and seriou

Honestly, I was kinda delighted that some "journalists" were offended enough to write this "no transparency" complaint. And I don't feel like this is some Bilderberg Meeting kind of thing, where I am restricted to g

Something that I read between the lines here is that credit/debit card is basically still the only practical way to do transactions in the USA. Is that right? It isn't the same across all of the Europe, but in the most cases you d

This isn't very interesting itself, IMO, but it implies that they have something to sell investors. I wonder what it is. I kinda do understand that some bullshit elevator-pitch about how "we are the best" or even a name (Musk

Looks interesting, I was using my own small app to do that and even know about Google Timeline somehow (well, I always disable anything-Google anyway). However, I didn't manage to set it up. It's supposed to be just docker-compose

I mean, it really just tests arbitrary word usage. I have no fucking clue if turquoise is supposed to be "green" or "blue", it's turquoise!

This is kinda a broad topic, but I'm kinda uncomfortable about the fact I still don't really understand how all this payments stuff works. Can somebody enlighten me, what does it take, exactly, to build a payment processor? Can an

This really should be a default though.

"Caving in to the bully with expensive lawyers" isn't synonymous with "following the law", FYI.

That's pretty obvious. The question was, who are these people, specifically, and why they were chosen and given that much power. I mean, I can see the names, but while I don't have to be told who Tim Peters or Guido van Rossum are

That's kinda nuts, but kinda absolutely in line with all trends of the last 5 years. I remember similar shit happening in Linux community (the shit won, naturally). But, anyway, who is the "Steering Council" and how come they

Exactly. That's also why similar attacks against cryptocurrencies annoy me. They are very popular among vast social groups (ahem, damn normies), and it's kinda pointless to argue with them, because, well, yes! That technology does

I wish that would be true. I loved internet 15+ years ago, before governments and big corporations and all these fuckers got their dirty hands all over the internet.

Sure, but then don't blame the app, because exactly as the gp stated: you cannot have the cake and eat it too. I mean, I don't want it to sound simplistic. Situation is kinda novel (meaning, it wasn't possible 200 years ago).

This is much better than GPs attempt, because, tobacco. Or, well, anything, really. I'm sure some more targeted path could be taken. Like outlawing selling non-OSS. That sure would be nice...

I didn't even like using pen in school. Now I get annoyed and aggressive when asked to fill my data at the hotel check-in desk myself.

Not to argue with anything, but after observing it for a while, I cannot treat HEMA seriously. And this is true about most of the "reconstruction" stuff. The problem is, that guys who "do" it are almost exclusively not t

Except no cultured adult programmer would use the original PHP syntax for templating, unless it's some 5-minutes worth development script. It's too powerful and too complicated. People use smarty or twig, which are basically the s

IDK. I always though Jinja is the best templating engine and was surprised by your complaints and the Jinja sample on that website. What doesn't he like? Looks totally legit... After reading JinjaX sample, I see the point. I would agre

At this point I'm fairly confident this is not about the technology per se, so it's pointless to try and find differences and similarities and make sense of them. It's about politics, it's about personalities, impression

I'm more surprised by the subtle implication everyone makes that there's no backdoors in Signal. That would be weird assumption to make.

In this case I'd recommend you to reject everyone who speaks English fluently, since he might be from NSA.

I also don't see why anybody would boast being a "Trust and Safety" company founded by ex-CIA, but here we are. Who knows these guys.

I don't really get why it's an "issue". I understand from the fist paragraph that USA government forbids you hiring North Koreans, for whatever reason, sure. But it's not like it's your job to investigate them,

It may be a silly question, but isn't there really a simple to use full-text search solution that has all complicated multi-language tricks baked in for all major languages? Or, well, at least European ones. It was a really, really har

The main reason why this is completely irrelevant to me is that there's no Android app. Honestly, I don't even know what's the point of having a note taking app that doesn't have an Android version. On the PC you can ju

There are now so many bullshit-terms derived from Taleb's bullshit books. Like how people still keep mentioning "black swans" as if it actually means something other (or something more) than "unexpected event". And
