The lack of effective policing is what's most disappointing to me. The Ottawa police have completely failed to enforce any boundaries. This further erodes public trust in the police and public safety in general. In that sense the prote

But I didn't know I didn't have to do that! I admit to not being competent with it, but all the examples use title-case, so I thought that was required.

I want to like PowerShell, but some basic design decisions really irk me. Specifically Verb-Noun command names seem so backwards. I want to start with the domain and then specify the action I want to perform in that domain. Noun-Verb would

It's very encouraging that they can detect this variant with PCR tests and don't need to run genetic sequencing. This should allow much earlier, even retroactive detection.

The persistent build cache is the feature that jumped out at me. It was also the only feature that had its performance impact quantified ("up to 68% improvement in build speed"). All the other improvements notably lacked any quant

Facebook is working on brain-computer interfaces... because we completely trust them to have that level of access to our minds.

Servo was a rendering engine project. They used an existing JS engine. Very different projects.

What's the relationship between Datafusion and Ballista? They seem to have been merged into a single repo. Do they share a release schedule? Are they a single product or still separate?

I once had a client who wanted to make a web app out of a spreadsheet that relied on Excel's optimization functionality. I wonder if that would work? They might still be interested in it.

Yes! Fonts make a huge difference in the impression a piece of text will make. Just consider that italics and bold have been necessary features of word processors since pretty much the beginning. For an even more subtle example, Twitter&#x2

That IDE looks amazing, but it looks like I'd need to be proficient in Smalltalk to use it for any language. Watching the video on the site and it's impressive what the presenter is doing with live representations of code.

My impression from watching (not very many) Chinese films, is that struggle and suffering is considered the greatest virtue. Where American films seem to imply that people should rise up and fight injustice, Chinese ones seem to say that li

I've tried using SPARQL in the past and found it to be very difficult. There are some aspects here that seem like improvements: - I really like that a query only operates on a single graph. Quads make what should be simple triple queri

It was never clear to me if Servo was delivering on its promises. Does it deliver significantly better performance than Gecko or Blink? Is the benefit from a cleaner architecture and easier developer experience? Despite that, I was very hop

I'm reminded of Scott McCloud's abstract vs realistic dimension in Understanding Comics. Basically, abstraction allows us to focus on the relevant details, while realism adds a lot of details that aren't relevant to the use c
