Gender reform is the exact equivalent of bike shedding. And my opinion is that bike shedding takes high priority because it's very convenient to tackle problems that take no effort to solve, independently of their importance.

I'm a hardcore Linux user, but this is a simplistic vision. Ubuntu still runs a broken Bluetooth stack by default (and they've ignored the reports). HiDPI/multimonitor support seems to be insufficient (based on reports; I don

This is a very interesting case, for a few reasons. First, marketing: they cleverly declare that the product has "No high fructose corn syrup", while they added a lot of sugars (13g/26%!!). I'm looking forward the next p

VSC being marketed as open source is certainly a grey area (there are arguments both in favor and against), but it's not a bad situation as it seems. IntelliJ IDEA is a competitive "open source based" product, with a signific

This is, unfortunately, not necessarily true (of course, the strategy makes sense). I "voted with my money", and the result is that my laptop, which is supposed to be the poster child of Linux compatibility, has at least one serio

Yes, this is why I've mentioned "in the context of the country/culture". Surely in the country you mention, or I suppose others (e.g. Netherlands) there is no social stigma, but in the USA, there is, and it needs to be t

First, I've generalized to memory-safe languages, not necessarily Rust. Second, this is exactly the overconfidence that I find troubling. Vulnerabilities caused by memory unsafety are real, pervasive, and inevitable. A few resources yo

First, there's a misconception to be cleared :) Unsafe code is not the only solution to borrow checking problems, as Rust supports reference counting, which is an implementation of shared ownership. Whether this defeats the point of Ru

Neat. Something not to forget is that USB devices (host) passthrough can be tricky, as it's a passthrough of the device, not the port. In difficult situations, https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger comes handy

It really depends on the use case. If the use case is tablet-like functionality, any convertible design simply doesn't work. Using a 700g tablet is already barely comfortable for long usage; a 1.2+ kg one is essentially unusable. In my
