   I mean, yes, you're missing something, the first and foremost, Internet. :) Its sole purpose was to solve the information access problem in a decentralized way. That was the rationale behind the ARPANET project. Then, DNS came, which i

   I meant a certain aspect of aesthetics by "consistency". When you explain your requirements to AI, you'll say "create a dialog box with two buttons" right? I mean that's how you'd communicate with a progra

   Software development requires certain qualities from a programmer which AI can't attain before becoming human: personality and consistency. Personality is shaped by lifelong experiences mostly irrelevant to programming itself. Personal

   People tend to forget that we had everything decentralized in the first place, then centralized them for the sake of convenience: Email -> GMail, IRC -> Slack, RSS -> Social Media, Blog -> Medium, Forums -> Reddit and so fort

    No. I believe that it's way easier to recover your phone number when you lose your SIM or change your phone (eSIM). When you lose your email password and the recovery code at the same time, your email is gone, forever. That's a hu

    Exactly. I remember when I overcloked my 486DX4-100 to 120Mhz, everything would work fine but the floppy drive. It just wouldn’t work for whatever reason. Never thought it was a CPU issue, I’d just asked for it.

    I said "nobody does" because nobody can. It's a practical impossibility to run your own email today. It doesn't even matter if you have the necessary advanced technical skills. It's just not possible. https:/&

    "Often impossible"? Not my experience at all. Maybe it would be more problematic with prepaid SIMs, but why would a monthly billed account get deactivated? You lose your SIM? You go to a branch, verify your identity, and get a fre

    I agree. I've also found out that "210/8.0" returns the desired result.

    It's apparently the Wolfram|Alpha integration that returns 105/4.

    Of course not. I mentioned population to point at how big a market Turkey is, which makes the whole "just switch to IPv6" more problematic than it seems. We just can't do it at once, so IPv4 is going to be around for the fore

    Turkey, with 85m population and 75% internet users, has less than 3% IPv6 adoption.

    I guess "Cancel" probably returns a failure code to the caller of the API while "Abort" kills the program, similar to "Abort"/"Fail" dichotomy on MS-DOS.
