Compared to high margin low volume surgeries in the US, this is low margin high volume. Its ingenious how the highest skilled individuals only step in for the trickiest part of the surgery, but the simpler tasks like getting to a heart are

I'm pleased to read this. This is like the Bajorans and the Vulcans joining forces to fight for freedom in the Mirror Universe. But I thought 'everyone' hates the W3C and instead prefers WHATWG? Does having the Wikimedia Foun

> But note that right to repair does not automatically equate with "easy to repair without special tools and knowledge." I'm okay with that. I just don't want businesses to be able to deny access to their manuals, thr

TL;DR: Pay off the debt. It seems like there is always a tug of war between these questions every decade or so, and I'm not really sure why. I guess in the US we make access to credit so dad blame easy that people can practically fall

TL;DR: Someone wrote an app called KBFIX in the 70s to fix the Trash 80's tendency to keybounce (or kkeybounnce), and the new Apple Mac keyboards are so prone to keybounce of their own that someone recently wrote an application called

To continue to work on this project after the outcry its generated is to metaphorically twirl one's mustache. Google is in the same spot IBM was in 1981 or so. They are ripe for disruption. I don't know how or who, but in the cycl

So I admit being pessimistic about actually getting Right to Repair laws passed. Lawmakers keep being told that 'it stifles innovation' and since they often have as limited understanding of technology as I do as to the innards of

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Freenet. Why must you use Tor to browse it?

I agree with both of your points. I will add that if the difference between the FSF and OSI definitions of OSI don't matter...perhaps they should merge and join forces? Get the (not that it sounds great to say it this way) least common

Isn't saying "go build yourself a PWA" about as helpful as saying "Learn to Code"? It's said in the same basic spirit. Not in all circumstances, etc. but in terms of attitude. It seems like that is a somewhat

This argues for a third counterpart to FSF-style "Free Software" and OSI-style "Open Source Software" terms. Apparently, FSF is too preachy and OSI is too business-y and thus following "those who forget history are

Complete conjecture, I am not the GP. Hydrating/deserializing data from Sqlite into types/objects and doing whatever goodness those need, then using Redis to make "updating the database" super fast (in memory after all)

This article is ridiculous. Sure for urbanite hipsters who just grab a Bird scooter, but for the rest of us in the non-trendy parts of the country or who live in the suburbs, a car is absolutely essential for living a modern life. More rent

I am super excited about this. It may be early, and there may be some hurdles that make it 'not as perfect' as described here, but even we only get, say 60% of the proposed memory encoding schemes, it will be a huge efficiency gai

You are very fortunate to have that role and experience it will provide; to drop out of high school would be a colossal mistake. Please don't do it! Every job worth having expects people to have a completed high school degree or better

Okay so they have not in fact brought back Microsoft Agent as I hoped, but they have added Clippit emojis to MS teams. I think Chat Bot frameworks could breathe new life into MS Agent-style actors. I know I'd use e.x. Merlin for small

So this meme didn't come from nowhere. Blue collar professions have been given this 'helpful advice' by journalists quite a bit over the years. It was tone deaf then, and still so now. I admit I don't yet see why it&#x27

The article claims in so many words that a software developer is not just a full time programmer on a scrum team, but also coding Data Scientists, SysAdmins, and business analysts using Python et al. That is not objectionable to me. However

Thanks for posting this, please reply back and let us know their reaction. It might be popcorn worthy, or it might be 'meh' - either way, it is of interest to me and I suspect HN.
