It’s boring when UIs have a stark contrast; What makes light contrasts beautiful is rarity. Perhaps in the future, extremely elusive UIs with very faint variations will be the top of the design fashion after using cookies to know the user’s

It would help US to condemn Colin Powell for brandishing supposed proof of WMD at the UN Counsel in 2003, which they never found after invasion. It would help for the US to stop Predator attacks. Most of the world is convinced that they are

Are fighter jets so important in the age of drones? Shouldn’t we invest in drones which are much cheaper? If “but we need something for air superiority”, then isn’t it achievable with space superiority and drones?

Oh that’s interesting. An entire platforms that hinges on not trying to social-engineer its users, and being successful. I’ve also heard that TikTok wasn’t showing the same contents inside China than abroad. It would be flattering the dopam

This comment contains no advice. It just tells that all the tracks I’ve tried are wrong/not useful (in your books, at least).

What tells you I wanted people to believe I were these things? I did guitar because it was nice to sing, and the idea of singing around a bonfire and maybe making people sing was just a good feeling. I sang the last song of a friend who die

If it took only 2 years, it was easy. I’ve travelled around the world and did most of the possible side quests, including the workout phase, the guitar phase, the charity/vegan phase, the millionaire phase, and I’m still transparent to

I still have major problems of socialization but I succeeded to pass to the “in” group. - It happened during the integration week in engineering school. Cohesion games, scream together, talk loud, it really transformed me. Now I’m part of t

But where? USA is just as woke as Europe, and Asia is a place where work is extremely hard, with tendencies of being kleptocratic, at least if you intend to retire over there as a foreigner. So, where?

It’s in France, it’s just for Java + React not rocket science. Claiming $120k is a shit salary is really entitled, it’s among the top 20% of engineers in France and top 7% of an entire country. For Java and React. Glad I don’t have him amon

I wonder whether having the media doomplay every crisis is part of the confounding or resorbing forces. Are they making it worse by persuading everyone that there is a crisis and that they should stop investing? Or are they helping decision

But it’s annoying to program. You need the same records as an undo/redo system, except they’re only applied after approval. Finance does it because everyone knows finance is boring already, but I’m not sure it would be possible to ret

The killer argument with OSS is to say that there is a vulnerability. Then customers either pay for the upgrade or look for other options.

Advertising inside of Firefox is going insane, even if it’s just ads for Mozilla. Tabs that opens when you open FF, little lines on the home page, “Big browser takes care of your privacy” starts looking very creepy.

The part that is missing is how to render our society interesting to boys and girls. Boys have been going into computers since forever because society didn’t care about them and the computers are the only ones to answer nicely; Girls have b
