I think the disconnect is that you are describing it as a system, when in reality it's just a bunch of misaligned incentives and plain old human nature. It's unfixable.

It means if you slip up and lose your domain, nobody can send you email (including 2FA, reset password, add a new email to your account, etc). You can imagine how inconvenient that would be. I use fastmail with a custom domain and that scen

The worst part was having a 200ms ping and getting constantly smoked by the guy with the sub-100ms ping. Hence the acronym LPB (low ping bastard).

I actually thought the solar rooftop was really cool when it launched, and if I owned a home I would consider buying it. What happened? It sounds like Tesla intentionally sabotaged it.

Yeah; I learned early on to always change the delivery from "1 day" to standard 2 day prime shipping. 1 day delivery always ends up with some joker trying to deliver a package at 9PM and marking it as "attempted delivery&quot

What's wrong with it is that every spec will always be open to interpretation. You will interpret it as the minimum amount of functionality; the client will interpret it as the maximum. The only spec that isn't open to interpretat

Check out the Respeaker Core v2. Right now there isn't much in the way of an end to end solution, but there are a ton of options to roll your own. And really, rolling your own is the only way to ensure privacy and longevity anyway.

All software is a model of side-effects, but if you delegate the execution of your side-effects to a third party (usually the language's runtime or an application framework) all of your code can be side-effect free. If neither of t

This is undoubtedly the case with most of the clothing, but not for consumer electronics. Edit: No, it's the same with the clothing; buy one of those generically branded jackets some time and see how long it lasts.

Plogue Bidule is an interesting little app; It just uses node graph with a few basic primitives and a VST container for plugins. I use it all the time if I just want to fire up a virtual synth without loading an entire DAW.
