Also it doesn't imply it'll use the least amount of resources, it implies it'll use the least amount of _money_, which means the cost will be exported to countries that can't afford to say no... Are we really surprised a

I imagine the meeting would take place at a level of communication determined by the lowest common denominator. If the client can't do video, then everyone else does audio-only. If they can't do VR, then you all are stuck with a Z

Isn't the point of standing on the shoulders of giants that we should reach farther and greater heights than they ever could? To seek to provide for your children is human - and to provide for others in general is human as well. So wha

I appreciated all the data in this post. I guess one of the upsides of being ubiquitous in the workplace is the ability to collect information like that.

I love it when people post things like that on this site. It's half the reason I come here, because I sure as heck don't know how to find old stuff.

Make "the cloud" a decentralized mesh network of people in your area and you're getting somewhere. I love the idea of a unified OS between all your devices, I guess Apple users have that experience already!

My heart goes out to the people affected by this crippling condition. I hope we find a solution soon so that no more lifetimes may be lost in despair.

My understanding of dot matrix printers is that the size is limited mostly by the mechanical machinery required for the printing functionality. But maybe we can make it smaller these days.

You can always use "unsafe" code in Rust. At that point you're basically writing a block of code in C++ with the guarantee that it'll interface correctly with all your other "safe" code.

These pictures evoked simultaneous feelings of nostalgia and intense pride of how far we've come. Thanks to the labor of people like us, we're in a world replete with technological marvels. My thanks to those who came before, and

Maybe we should make a bigger effort to keep them clean. But that's a separate issue that seems completely separate from whether or not they're covered in solar panels.

We couldn't have done it any other way. If we had slowly developed new technology we'd have run out of coal during the industrial revolution. We needed a slow build up on the shoulders of pre-industrial giants, and then a massive

Just because we currently burn fossil fuels in power plants (which are much more efficient than internal combustion engines btw) doesn't mean we always have to. Besides, development of electric vehicles increases development of battery

You can use --vo=tct if you're on console. Also I heard MPV has Sixel support now, but I couldn't get it working when I tried.

I think the man page for MPV is a little too detailed. Sometimes all you need is a list of flags and a brief description of what they do - but some documentation (looking at you rsync and mpv) is designed to teach you mastery over the tool
