In complex situation you can often deal with parts of a problem to the detriment of the whole. There should be some expression "its the whole, stupid", because we all tend to do this. Long ago I worked at a significant corporati

The issue of android being open is not a developer issue. I do not mean, it does not affect developers, rather that the wrong that must be righted is to the user . The F-droid article states: "You, the consumer, purchased your Androi

I think many people fail to understand how many people choose to do things. 1. Most people are followers. We really don't want to choose, and don't care. So unless we meet some pain point we will choose the most common choice that

I get your point and it is reasonable. We are paying today. However, I believe part of the problem is that when you could make money from email, it froze. The evolution stopped. We could easily evolve email if ... The "if..." is o

OMG ASN.1. For those of you who missed this, there was a very interesting thing that happened in the growth of the internet. At the time people were evolving the protocols through the IETF. So all the things that you rely on now - for the m

As for the coffee roasting part, that is something that is near and dear to my heart. I have been roasting my own coffee for decades. The part about a tough time getting green beans is just plain, factually wrong. SweetMarias.com among many

The suggestion was just to try good cheese so you know what it is. $35 a pound is a bit pricey for cheese. Another option is to make your own. It is a skill, not a recipe, but most mistakes are extremely edible and tasty. The biggest obstac

People in the US are so trained by the food industry, that they do not know what good food is. Yogurt for example. Here is an experiment you can do at home if you want to disbelieve my statement. Step #1 Make good yogurt and eat it. 1. Go b

It is interesting how opinionated people are. Personally, I think we just don't know enough to do a reasonable assessment. If we had some example of where a knob might be good and then try to understand whether it was good and if not,

Recently I went down the rabbit hole of recursive tree maps. Walk a file system directory and assign a weight (size) to each directory recursively. Then present a tree map of each level. Click on "Users" then "fred", the

I personally believe it is worth exploring the idea of a different email realm for communities. The concept is pretty simple. Don't accept email from gmail, microsoft, hotmail or any other non-community member. Community members don&#x

I do not think "old" helps a discussion and probably impedes it. A better conversation is perhaps about what features we call "old" are good and desirable. Then how we can build a new, sustainable system with those featu

What I was trying to get at was the concept of mutual benefit in thinking. For example, my thinking is better because of your comment. If we want to think together - create some good thought then the focus is on understanding, not influenci

The form of the question has assumptions that are broken. The action of manipulating people is fairly obvious. It means you have a predetermined outcome that you want other people to accept The same assumption is implicit in the "How c

Meta is a corporation that is anti-democracy. In the US we have this thing called free speech. Requiring non-disclosure in order to get a severance (or to get a settlement for abuse) is not an excuse for doing this. More and more corporatio

Life is for living silly bear. I cannot imagine anything worse than getting to the end of your life and finally realizing you never lived it. That you wasted this once in a live time experience. But that is just me.

To give credit where it is due, the codepen is not mine, but from this page: https://r3f.docs.pmnd.rs/getting-started/examples from @react-three/fiber. My guess, and only a guess, is that 3D is especially (only?)

I wonder if DRM is useful for this. The problem: I want people to access my site, but not Google, not bots, not crawlers and certainly not for use by AI. I don't really know anything about DRM except it is used to take down sites that

A very good example of SDF thinking, using signed distance fields in shaders. Both shaders and SDF are new to me and very interesting. Another example of what is being done is MSDF here: https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdf
