I hope that you're right. Even the current copyright duration is absolutely insane, and the world is losing trillions USD in progress/knowledge/opportunity just so Disney can sell Mickey f@¢#ing Mouse! Enough already! I'

I've done the same thing, twice. When job interviewers ask me, I just tell them the truth: "Eh, I just took some time off because I wanted to, and I could afford it." No one has ever held it against me, and if they did, I wou

Yes we are. AI will be useful for some things, society will need to adjust a bit, and we'll move on like whatever. Think the power loom, the computer, and all the other major tech innovations. With the benefit of hindsight, it'll

I went through Algorithm Design Manual before learning Discrete Math[0]. Suffices to say, I had plenty of these "always has been" moments you're talking about :) The book is great at explaining algorithms, math prerequisites

Agreed, lack of examples was my biggest gripe with the manly pages when I was a Linux newbie. The most frustrating part is, you know they do it on purpose, so that you have to read the entire thing! News flash, I'm here because I'

I have a 16yo TV just because I don't know what to put in its place. And I have cable TV just because cable TV + 500mbps internet was cheaper than 300mbps internet by itself. It's a crazy world we live in. Haven't turned it o

I also stole an old walkman as a kid. My eastern european mom gave me a good beating, and ordered me to return it and apologize. I was too embarrassed to do that, so I jumped the owner's fence, put it on their backyard table, and ran a

It's not like MS will support Win10 until 2030 and you have a choice, is it? As with any Windows, 11 is quite terrible, but it still lets you run your software and you eventually get used to it. My favorite new bit of user-hostile nons

Some years ago, I was subscribed for The Economist. You needed to call support in order to cancel. Every 3 months I'd do the same ritual: call support; tell them I want to cancel; they offer 50% discount for 3 months sub; I tell them I
