It is not rare at all. Fact is, as more and more data comes out we are becoming more and more aware that the Covid vaccines have caused severe damage. Here is the data collated from 125 countries: there were about 31 million excess deaths a

I never got the hatred for SQL. I have often found it easier to use SQL directly rather the convoluted SQL-like syntax that the different ORMs use

Honestly, I think web dev has become quite bad lately especially with the difficulty of setting up all of the js+css+build tools mess. The one saving grace is that things seem to be slowly improving as people have started to realize that we

But can this software monitor patients via CCTV and see if any of them are about to faint and call ER proactively for them? No? then your bid for the project will be discarded! :) What about the CCTV monitoring software needing to verify if

Having consulted on government projects - especially huge projects spanning dozens of government departments, what I have learnt is that the project is doomed right from the start. The specifications are written in such a way that it is imp

Actually, no, I don't think we all agree that the basis of the concerns have been low. For one thing, just a short list of claims that have already been debunked. 1. mRNA will not cause changes across the body and will stay only in the

Well said. I have always struggled with the S expression syntax though I have wanted to learn Lisp for a long time.

Very well done! wow! Thanks for this. Going through this now. One comment: About the syntax highlighting, the dark blue for keywords against a black background is very difficult to read. And if you opt for the white background, the text bec

What is the possibility of attaching a GSM module to this to make voice calls and send SMS? I mean, can we make this into a basic phone?

I will trust Google even less than I trust Nextcloud. With Google if you run into any issues, it is like hitting your head against a wall.

I am not sure if this scepticism is exclusive to the teens. I think a lot of people are more and more sceptical about news media and the close ties it has with the establishment - especially the way we have seen different platforms "ma

This is nice! not a big fan of the design and would really prefer a fixed roof but the concept is still a good one and the avoidance of all the digital doodads is great!

SkyOS ? I actually paid to be on the Beta program and then suddenly out of the blue the developer pulled the plug on the project completely. Not sure what happened but there were rumours that the code may have "borrowed" from othe

One of my favourite lock pickers is Marc Tobias. He was also sued by a number of lock companies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NadPAE6BDbA It is interesting to see that these companies still don't know about the Stre

Given the nature of the phone hardware, would it be easier to develop a phone architecture from the ground up rather than trying to reverse engineer the existing phones? For instance, wouldn't it be easier to start with a power efficie

Why does this look pretty much like JSON with the only exception being no commas between elements in a list / array?
