Not sure why my parents chose to put a floppy disk driver on a desktop computer bought in 2006 (perhaps some seller was very convincing?), but I thought it was cool, so I used it sometimes. It was also cheaper than USB-sticks -and less like

Mostly everyone over 40, and even some younger ones, still have some old floppy disks with files that may or may not be of value. Somewhere in my mother's house, there still is (hopefully) a floppy disk from 2006-2007 with my teenage s

Here is a very sad and frightening fact: the owner class can actually restructure "the economy" (whatever that is) to revolve entirely around AI consuming AI, and machines using machines. Most people assume that "the economy&

Could it be just that gene therapies should be publicly funded? Taxpayer money has paid for a substantial percentage of research around the world, and it doesn't seem necessary that we rely on profit-driven private companies for the ac

I know for sure that we are not going to lose our jobs to it, because it still takes a lot of knowledge to check, fix, and deploy code ,and especially complex one. It also is so that it often takes a lot more time to accurately describe the

Very good and insightful article, but suffers from a weakness: it implies that the problem can be solved by everyone just buying from the ones whose workers are doing the job well. This is not the case. The evidence that the "free mark

Finally someone put it this way! Natural language has embedded limitations that stem from our own mental limitations -the human mind thinks sometimes too abstract or too specific things, and misses important details or generalizations. As a

I spent some time experimenting with the Crystal language, and it seemed very promising. But the absence of capabilities for parallel programming (as of 2022) made me abandon the attempts to learn better Crystal, as it felt pointless.

It doesn't matter what fancy word we are using -what matters is that our systems are compromised by an agency that can just steal our data without us even knowing. Why should we even care about the academic definition of a backdoor? Is

It is striking that such a backdoor in seemingly safe OSs like Linux and FreeBSD, is nearly completely unknown one year after the revelation. No social media outcries, no mention on the TV, no debates, no comments from people like Torvalds

I know it sounds weird, but unless you reviewed the source code AND built the binary from it, no open source software is to be trusted. The versions ready for download may be based on code slightly different than the one in the repo -either
