If there is always another loophole and these attempts at closing them don't matter, they wouldn't collectively be spending billions of dollars in lobbying to keep the current status quo. It's pretty clear that legislation ca

The borrow checker alone is worth the price of admission for Rust, you can't do anything quite like that in C++.

I agree with you, their common voice project is extremely important. From the outside it seems like the engineering effort behind this is done -- They just need to keep the site running to keep collecting data. Actually, now that I think ab

The world needs a state of the art and easy to integrate library for providing speech to text so that we don't have to rely on sending all of our voice data to the big tech giants. I imagine this was the motivation behind it. That bein

Semi-related, but does anyone know if Firefox Send is on the chopping block? They took it down before the layoffs due to security concerns, and now I'm worried it won't be coming back online. Every alternative I've been able

Agreed. I tried consistently visiting and posting for a week or two,and while I feel like the site has been getting more popular, it's not a place for adult conversations. What finally made me quit was a post of a meme involving Kamal

I'm not about to say that this is good, but I have no sympathy here. The fact that this company exists is a major failing of our society. $1.18 billion in revenue 2019 alone.

The problem is that app stores are charging 30%. More Operating Systems and competition would be good, but it's not going to fix the problem. After all, Steam takes a 30% cut, and they've got a client for multiple desktop operati

Flatpak can not currently run on servers, only desktops. I'm not sure if there are plans to change this, if anyone knows I'd be interested in finding out.

That's interesting that they expected you to not glance at the paper. I actually think looking at the paper (or nowadays a screen) to see the result of what you're typing is good for learning. You get immediate feedback on whether

I think blank keys are the way to go if you want to improve your typing ability. It may not be worth it for you in particular since you already type at 90-110 WPM, but in general I'd argue that if blank keys are frustrating, that frust

There's a tacit understanding there that their collection and use of data is wrong, or at least that it is against one's interest to have their data collected.

Maybe it's just my particular setup, but these icons look blurry to me, especially when you mouse over them. It looks as if there is no antialiasing. I'm on Ubuntu with Firefox for whatever it's worth. Other than that they lo

I agree with you, and I'm reminded of this experiment which I think adds evidence to the idea that drug use and perhaps other vices are tied to how happy / fulfilled people are in life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Liability seems like a show stopper. This thing could hurt someone if something goes wrong, which seems likely if in use by the general population. I also think a lot of people tend to like their barber.

Linux Mint maintains a Debian derivative ( https://linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php ) so that they can continue operating should something happen to make the Ubuntu derivative unfeasible. Also, for what it's worth, I rema

Certainly in some cases it is caused by genetics, but from what I've read, the evidence suggests that some other factor is at play for the overwhelming majority of cases. Here is an excerpt from a nature article which leads me to beli

I always assumed this was in part related to socio-economic reasons (men on average do jobs with much higher death rates) as well as the effects of pregnancy, where the mothers body can be healed when pregnant due to migration of stem cells

I've been thinking about this, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a good choice for certain classes of closed source apps. For example, I'm building a video game, and I'm going to distribute it th

I think this is something that can eventually be fixed. Indeed, I'm on Linux Mint and the integration is actually pretty good. When you first run an appimage it asks if you'd like to add the program to the start menu. Icons are

I'm also curious about this. The best project I've seen for voice coding is Talon Voice, but I doubt anything novel is being done with it and deep learning. I'd suggest trying it out if you haven't. They also have a pret

I don't understand how this could be true. The chances of you coming into existence require an astronomical number of things to happen in an exact time and order. Changing any number of those variables will cause a chain reaction tha

There are occasionally little things that are available on one distribution and not available on others. For example, with Cinnamon and Linux Mint, you can right click on items in the start menu and there will be an option listed to uninst

I think Cinnamon is really underrated. It has sane defaults, is reasonably performant, and will be familiar to anyone coming from Windows. In general I feel that Gnome has terrible defaults, and are hostile to the user making changes away f
