Oh, so that's what's happening? You made me realise I have the same exact issue!

Impressive and smooth, however I can't help thinking it's an effort in an opposite direction. We should be striving away from the desktop metaphor, into something built for abstracting tens of thousands of files and folder, someth

A thought experiment I like to employ when imagining the impact of a new piece of tech: reverse the timeline. If the tech were the status quo, how would the current status quo be marketed? If moving the camera were the norm, the current sta

Think of the markdown as the variable I'm sending (I'm doing the replacements myself before sending). I'd simply like to dress it in a template and send it to x.

I'm in the middle of bootstrapping a SaaS company and spent the last few days evaluating e-mail providers. I think my requirements are really simple, yet I seem to fall outside what most offer. Here it goes: * A user-friendly WYSIWYG t

Yes it's a mess, as confirmed by operating system vendors' constant struggle to fix it: Windows, tabs, views, widgets and mini-windows, along with Exposé, virtual desktops and now Stage Manager are all symptoms of the same issue:

Not being able to add events is unfortunately a deal breaker for me. That means I need iCal/Google Calendar for adding events, and adding implies planning/browsing. Generally I think digital calendars can be made much better, almo

I have to agree with jaclaz: The advances you mention are "refinements and betterings of existing rather than revolutionary". slightly better antibiotics and slightly better phones, but all in all not near the impact of its predec

Looking around me (BigCorp), the people that managers value the most are the generalists. Teams are built around these key persons, and extra care is taken to make them comfortable. The reason? You can throw any problem at these people, and

To me this is just more of the same: added convenience to what we already have. Converting individual commands to TUIs is a step away from the unix philosophy. I think the future of the command line lies in the direction of flow-based progr

I think it's worse. Pre-internet, people paid for access to the same information, information written by journalists, distributed by a select number of papers. Today, and perhaps worse going forward, this is reversed: a select number o

I think you sum it up well. That gap extends to more than JavaScript. When I was four I could operate our TV: turn on, choose channel and adjust the volume. One device. One remote control. Bach then four year olds could also operate phones

Lobbying at its finest – an open form of corruption. The system needs an institution controlling these "interest groups". A force that can weigh the millions of dollars they spend to sway decision makers' opinions against &qu

A couple of reflections. The first one being that fusion might very well be the remedy to get rid of carbon emissions once and for all, however it won't affect global warming. In fact, it might make it even worse. The simple line of re

Good point. A solution must afford P2P transactions without a relaying party, and the devices used must be low-power and possible to charge using solar energy or hand power.

Advert? E-krona doesn't exist. It's not in development, and there isn't even an architecture in place. The "advert" was written by the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Sweden.

The primary cited reason for the cashless trend is the ability for shops to simply say no. Anti-money laundry laws trickle down from EU level.
