For products like Photoshop and AutoCAD, it would have been great to have the option to use it for a few months and stop. This way, I can subscribe when work is available and I can offset cost by earnings. Of course, I am speaking as a free

I tried to wrap my head around hooks, to effectively use them, and have a complete grip over the app, but I kept falling into the "magic" pit. Things work, But I no longer know how they work. Frustrated, I shifted to angular with

Trump does a dozen FDRs a day, going by the news that's coming out. I find it so funny the mental gymnastics people do to justify his actions, especially with whataboutisms. Sure maybe FDR was bad. Right now trump is bad, and that shou

It has a paid version, which frightens me that future greatness of the software and eco-system may be over-shadowed by greed and control. Only paid version has "private packages".

If there is a good, easy way to generate methane using atmospheric CO2, then, we could have a chemical battery in the form of methane, which is far easier to handle than Hydrogen. But I wonder what the round trip efficiency of such a system

by kumarvvr 1y ago
Methane is not abundant, as such. There are specific sources of it, mainly through manual agricultural processes, or in natural systems. Natural gas is mostly methane, I guess.

trump and his cronies would never accept that. I think this is what Japan did initially. Announce a huge number, 500 bn I think, and then slowly trickle out the news that it will be over 10 or so years. But that didn't sit well with tr

Hi @danybittel, could you explain a bit more about the polarization filter you used to filter our the content and only let through the obstacles? I am interested to know how it works. Thanks.

What would you suggest as the best resource to learn flutter, for a well experienced developer?

Recently started developing a client side web app using Angular v 20. The app is quite complex, with about 40 components many of them nested, about 7 to 8 "pages", data dashboards, multiple forms, continuously updating data from s

I have an issue with the words "understanding", "reasoning", etc when talking about LLMs. Are they really understanding, or putting out a stream of probabilities?

I think that will be handled by the AC to DC conversion in most systems.

Trump directed Amazon to stop displaying itemized bill with tariff rates. Amazon folded in a few hours. Trump has directed Apple to start producing equipment in America multiple times. Trump has directed Google to refine its search results

I highly doubt that. The part of "small govt." is reaching into all sorts of businesses and directing them what to do and what not to do. (Amazon, Google, Apple, even the Smithsonian !)

US Produced about 4.8 Billion Metric Tons of CO2 in 2024 ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/183943/us-carbon-dioxide... ) The savings is minuscule. But important nonetheless. It just goes on to show how much mo

Europe and many developing countries still have national programs in various important sectors like Health, Education and mental health. A lot of the worlds govts spend a lot through public institutions.

> all over the world Not in India. Here, there is no concept of Big Govt. The concept is "What is this govt. going to give me for free for me to vote for it" Its the other end of the complimentary spectrum.

Some waste is expected in govt. It happens even in private enterprises. That is down to human nature and other factors. However, where is the critical thinking and debate on what actually the institution does, what can be improved and what

by kumarvvr 1y ago
It is highly surprising that the narrative in the US has morphed the expenses on public institutions of enormous importance, into wastage , something that has to be cut or eliminated. Why is it that no one is pointing out the contribution

Is that a pre-condition to know about countries, leaderships and general public? I have not lived in the US, and I know a lot about the US national character.
