Not to mention being in favor of homeopathy. The only people who annoy me more than the greens is all the other major parties. Should have moved to the Netherlands...

And yet you as an individual has no freedom to choose which company's interface you want to use for the government. You get the government-appointed shitty one.

Honestly, this just reflects the age of the population. Change is more painful when you're old, so stasis becomes more attractive. Usually Germans like the general idea of improvement, but they hate change.

Think “JVM, but better this time”. Better isolation, and more language-agnostic. So, Kubernetes with WASM application servers as an alternative to container runtimes. All the old Java ideas, but hopefully much better. It being originally ma

Unfortunately dual-hose ACs are not widely available. I just couldn’t find any when I was in the market. It’s single-hose only in my experience. Why this is I don’t understand. Had to buy one and try it to finally conclude that I was sane a

I've realized this about security as well. Unless insurance companies demand higher premiums for choosing Azure, or Azure fails to get certain certifications, then all is well as far as decision-makers are concerned. And this is not ev

People like the feeling of personal progress, mostly through accumulating material posessions, increasing social capital, and raising kids. Getting in the way of any of those is a good way to get thrown out of office. So any solution to the

I liked the Quest Pro idea of having a solid gap between the screen and your face that you can see through, so you get to have some connection to reality. I bet it helps with motion sickness and cooling, as well as making it less disorienti

Like what happened with Java. Once a language has accumulated enough popularity it’s extremely hard to depose it, due to network effects. The switching costs are enormous.

NixOS is great in many ways, but it’s really quite difficult to use. Anything that requires use of the command line is a no-go for everyone but hardcore enthusiasts. Even I, who have contributed to Nixpkgs, wish I could just stick to a GUI

This is definitely it. It's a question of demographics. The developed world used to be for young people because people there were mostly young. Now decisions are taken by and for old people, and those of us who aren't are aftertho

I think it's more that higher price = more flagship. A higher price is in itself a sales argument to a certain audience. If you just want a competent phone there's no reason to buy a flagship one.

> AIs never get frustrated or tired I don’t think you can make effective AI without them having boredom/frustration. Otherwise they might do very unintelligent things, like trying the same approach to a problem forever.
