Really? Why do you assume any society is free of leeches? Heck, even Torrent has them. I think he probably would be a shaman or something like that and he would still live a similar life.

As a heavy Mac use I love this Windows feature so much I have installed a Finder extension that does just that. It is so much better than opening an app, writing something and then deciding awkwardly where to put the file. Like, when you wr

What surprises me is that VSCode is used more than VS for C++. I would have guessed people would go for the "full fledged IDE" for the kind of projects that require C++. Overnight VSCode has become the one size fit all for everyth

APFS is openly documented (although a bit badly): https://developer.apple.com/support/downloads/Apple-File-Sys... Your point still stands, though, with those soldered in SSDs needed for the boot process...

It is implicitly so. As far as I know you need to reverse engineer the whole process and disguise the kernel you want to run as a macOS Mach kernel. They keep a finger on the trigger by having an encrypted Secure Boot system, too. Not to me

All those "language market shares" are not very indicative of the multifaceted language landscape. C++ is certainly not becoming the language of wannabe research data scientists that made Python grow so much, but of course there a

You can still find the official documents about how to make changes in the MacOS X kernel itself (dated 2004 or so...). It's really sad that we have come to this. The platform became more and more closed off in the name of security and

Debugging, mainly. And really really dirty and fast workflows, when you don't have time to do pretty graphics. The other thing is not depending on GUIs, libraries, and stuff, makes it resilient and usable in hard conditions (e.g. if yo

I really like this kind of thing, especially for debugging, but for such visualizations simple is better (if I wanted something fancier I'd use a GUI). I use now hipsterplot, since it is much simpler and tweakable, but I wonder if heat

Actually it fixes exactly that. A more efficient way to get food allows for a larger population with less strain on the Earth's resources.

We already have two standardized ways to write math equations: MathML and TeX-like notation. The former is the formal standard, the second is what is overwhelmingly used. It would be great if we could have both natively in the browser, and

believe it or not but the ₀ (u2080) is not allowed in Python, it's not for a lack of trying :) for some reason the entire Unicode "No" (Number, other) category is not included in the admissible character list for identifiers

Having to do math and physics heavy work, I very much support the "fad" of having Unicode literals. "omega_0" is much worse than "ω_0" especially if you have tons of these variables. If you don't do math i

If the US and Europe pulled out of the Middle East it would be too chaotic to predict anything. It depends on the presence of other superpowers (Russia, China) and the pecking order that would be established between the regional powers (Tur

What do you mean? Can a Senegalese become a citizen of the USA (or of almost any country on Earth) without a lengthy naturalization? If not, is the USA discriminatory. Of course the right of return is just for Jews. Every country gets to se

For me, the best way to read something is a media that is limited in the x direction but has no page limits and can go down as needed. Like most of the websites. Foldable sections, hyperlinks and floating TOCs, are a bonus too. This is idea
