So basically you use it with no web or modern apps. That’d be an interesting use case for something such as Haiku OS. I tried it on my PC. There is obviously not enough available software to be a real daily driver but it struck me as an OS

Why? The idea is to ban smoking for people who never smoke while still allow already addicted people to smoke. So no prohibition (because there is still a legal market anyway), nobody have to change any habits. And I’d add that contrary to

Well maybe not 1000 people but to our knowledge, the human brain is actually made of physically independent zones that barely communicate together except with the zone that take all the outputs together and tries to do something coherent

Oh I’m not afraid at all that they own the Stargate license.

In real life you’ll have to deal mostly with code you haven’t wrote yourself.

Let me say that I do agree with you. However I’d add that this job could easily be done by the IDE. For a reason that I fail to grasp, after being around for multiple decades, IDEs are still incredibly bad at presenting useful information o

100% of Latin Americans you see are migrants because, well, you are in the US. You are only seeing exceptions. The immense majority of Latin American don’t live in the US neither migrate there.

I’ll be nitpicking but I’m not sure they are really that related. I’m an introvert and my wife have SA. TBH it’s pretty different : if I go to an event where I know nobody or where I don’t feel like I have something to say, I’ll just go and

I do think - my pet theory - there is two sorts of « good » code : - The solo programmer’s code : it’s smart, small, straightforward, does what it needs to do and it benefits from being able to fit in the author’s head but it would be a tea

It’s the same app actually. At least on iOS.

I’m also bullish on this. It looks really cool and revolutionary. And doable. But it also looks horrible in how this will force us to lose what remaining control we had over our privacy :( LLMs are really cool but we really need to make the

> Crypto is the future of money and finance. Why ? Crypto is the digital version of the old commodity money (whose value comes from a commodity of which it is made). Turns out it was absolutely impractical because people rarely want to b

> they have a whole design guidebook why wouldn’t they follow it?? So the same question applies: yes they have a whole design guidebook but why ? Does the users care ? My opinion would be that most don’t and that those who care are horri

Meta just announced Horizon OS (without saying what it will change) and the Quest/Horizon OS is both pretty good technically but also infuriatingly artificially limited. It really doesn’t looks like Meta is going to give up control in

Well, if that’s the case, that only means it’s not a profitable business and that it must close.

Routing, form handling, dependency injection, testing, services, http requests processing, localization etc etc … In fact the "write a component" part is the center of React but only one of the features of Angular. In my experienc

I’m going to be the devil’s advocate because I’m from the team "no SPA at all unless you have a real need like real time" but to me, Angular is the less worse when it comes to writing SPAs in teams. Clumsy and hard to learn ? Sure

Honestly, I feel like It’s pretty frightening that we may now have 5 to 15% (I didn’t find a consensus on this number but it seems that’s in this range) of humanity concerned with this exhaustion. This goes from making us "permanently&

Because free market is sometimes (in fact a lot of the times) bullshit. Free market doesn’t work when people have no personal interest on something and in itself promotes individualism. So free market doesn’t care about people who suffer so

Interesting, I find the UI to be better than Spotify. Not good, but better. For Spotify, which I’ve been a paid subscriber from basically day one, the UI went downhill from incredibly great (I do have fond memories of the first client in Qt

Well, as long as I’ve got my music, it’ll be a good deal to me. I mean, respectfully, I really don’t care about their profitability if : 1) I get to pay reasonable price 2) artists are paid a reasonable prices 3) VCs are ok to throw money a

And I may add that even Microsoft themselves killed desktop apps. I mean, just try creating a GUI app even exclusively for Windows in 2024 : it was their strength in the past, it’s now the same pain as everywhere else. Even Windows 11 uses
