Problem with that is that either they have to have a Google account that they are willing to share with you or you have to make it so that anyone with the link can edit the doc, which is a big no no usually.

Interplanetary distances. My usual use case is editing 16k hdri's. Gimp can't do this, it simply crashes or grinds to a halt. I also spend a lot of time creating textures with filters. Gimp can't do this. Even editing a 4k te

To reverse this. Too many companies depend on open-source ecosystems to siphon a profit from the average dev by persuading them to work for free. Foss isn't free. It merely shifts the costs from users and corporations to that one guy i

As an article this starts well but descends into the usual denial of commercial reality you see from Linux enthusiasts. The reason why you can get your 70 year old mother, or my 75 year old father in law to use Linux is because for their us

Subjectively google's results have got dramatically worse over the past 10 years. Whether this is intentional on google's part because they have decided to prioritise ad revenue over useful results, or if it is because the problem

Those cookie popups are only there because websites are collecting non-essential information from visitors. If you only use essential cookies that perform functions like remembering the contents of a shopping cart, or providing security whe

Perhaps you would like me to publicly declare my other protected characteristics in all my correspondence? My religion perhaps? Ethnicity, race, that I have a disability? It is not always with good intent, instead it is a demand to publicis

Because it's not just cyclical major depression (and there's no "just" to major depression either, but that's another rant). The diagnostic criteria for bipolar is that you have had at least one extended episode of

The main issue with "Web3" is that it moves records of transactions from many private places to one public place. Sure this one place may not be controlled by a single entity, but it facilitates tracking at an unprecedented level.

One of the problems is that if your target market is other devs, there is a knee jerk demand that your software should be foss and free (as in beer). I hope that we'll see a move away from foss licensing to source available licenses ov

I'm about as far away from Drew as possible when it comes to my views about the benefits of open source yet I also loathe Discord as a method of supporting users because its essentially a memory hole. I want to be able to ask or answer

There's a couple of problems with this analysis. 1) it only considers two of the three main actors in the DRM sphere - content "providers", by which the author seems to mean content distributors, and manufacturers of playback

CSS 3 was released in 1999 and the :target pseudo class is in the spec. So not exactly new... [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-CSS3-selectors-19990803#target...

I'm guessing (literally, I have no idea if this is true) that if these synthetic fuels can be stored and transported in the same way as normal petrol then you wouldn't have to build that much more distribution infrastructure. Inst

Nice concept! It might be nice to include the Corruption Perception Index and/or Global Corruption index as well.

If Musk gets Starship to work and is successful in driving down the costs of launching material into LEO by another couple of orders of magnitude as intended then you can expect to see an explosion in the numbers of cheap and cheerful cubes

It's a bit weird that that the authors of the paper ascribe this to the "failure of neo-liberalism" when neo liberalism had most of its successes after 1978. Thatcher and Reagan first elected in 1979 and 1981 respectively. WT

Big businesses too. In job 2 my employer provides services to pharma, medical and biosciences corps and our users are almost invariably using terrible hardware despite being senior scientists heading up labs.

It's not just developers, and it's not just about speed, it's also designers / UX bods who need to heed this. My decently powered work laptop from job 1 has a fairly rubbish screen, which means that a lot of the subtle h

This is a common misconception. I don't know about US law but in English law (including contract law) there is a well defined distinction between "wilful" and "non-wilful" misconduct that rests upon whether a violat

The problem with that part of the book is that it's wildly historically inaccurate. The Diggers and the Levellers were not just trying to enact a much more egalitarian society 100 years before Rousseau but were also (along with a bunch
