I socialize with computers more readily than humans. At least they're only wrong when confused or ordered to lie (intentionally written software).

Windows (MS) and OSX (Apple) need to agree on a GUI interoperability API. Either hammer something out, or adopt one/more of the OSS GUI framework specifications from QT and GTK. It MUST be open spec. It MUST be free for all/any t

Right, those bubbles need to be popped so the cysts can be drained and the patient (economy) recover.

Technology is vastly better today than it was in the era these fees were introduced. From a technological perspective at least, even the basic per-transaction cost is more than the overhead of processing a transaction and making a basic det

I guess we could all try to write things in WebAssembly hosted forth... however that sounds like a giant nightmare once I consider any project of scale and how it would be more like trying to mod a modern JIT program at runtime with reflect

In a hospital setting the alternative materials would be some types of glass and steels. Those mostly have the downsides of being expensive, tough to clean correctly, and higher liability if someone breaks them. I don't think it'

Even today you'll see lay-persons use SSL, and some professionals refer to SSL for HTTPS and other secure connections. Two decades ago TLS was still not in common use among common tech professionals. While TLS was released in 1999, in

Let us have the damned plastic straws. If the (industrial?) compostable / degrades better plastic isn't a myth go ahead and require that as the material, but otherwise straws are too useful. As for the rest? Regulations. Regula

Personal observations... I'm not sure the culture in the US would lend itself that way. Parks and public commons areas tend to become the dumping ground for unsolved social issues. Those who've fallen through society's crack

High level planning is important for efficiency. It'd be great to have some resources which either store power in bulk cheaply (even if not efficiently) and/or inexpensive to idle operations that can achieve public benefit for sp

At least for USPS address specification the syntax is roughly: * The lowest line is the most coarse and sufficient to route to a major sorting facility. * There's an implicit United States of America line under that, but International

It's really not 'peek Linux' it's just that many manufacturers refuse to even provide specifications for using their product (basically it's API) without charging money and/or requiring an NDA etc. This makes a

It's the same fix IRL. The solution to a broken market, is to fix the market. Write the rules / laws to encourage competition and thus the desired outcome. If something is a natural monopoly then make it a utility, regulate it p

If going that far, use the sunlight for power / in space solar ovens. Just make sure to limit how much power goes to Venus because that will increase the net energy in that envelope.

It's sort of like a game of chicken in that respect... I guess Boeing would have to do the math and figure out that paying SpaceX for 6 ISS missions is a cheaper way of fulfilling the contract?

Wayland also doesn't have a video capture interface as part of the standard. E.G. for Remote Desktop style applications (you might even use such if part of a video conference). Instead that's left up to the compositors, and ther

It'd be interesting to see how compact the binary form is, and what external dependencies it has. Forth's selling points are mostly how compact a minimal environment can be, and how easy it is to extend that environment to do more

Surely PRE blocks existed in 1997. "even if it's just ASCII art of the data patterns."

That's probably an OK writeup but seems focused on someone who's good at learning without doodles and pictures. A visual / kinesthetic variation would be nice, even if it's just ASCII art of the data patterns.

I vaguely recall trying to test out of the Calc (first class in the series) course in college; the test covered topics that not only AP Calc in High School didn't, but that we didn't even get to by the END of the calc classes as p

It would be nice to have competition among sellers within a given venue. Even give the venue the option to sell single seats (rather than large blocks at some bulk rate). For security reasons the ticket format should probably be the venue&
