One could run Linux and use Wine to run some Windows apps. On the other hand one can run Windows and use WSL to run some Linux apps. Depending on the individual's needs which apps are important to have access to the decision could

The author tries to figure out bravely some of LLVM IR concepts and get some of them right and some wrong (like mem2reg purpose). While I do not want to discurage this sort of exploration learning I want to point out that what he is clearly

In case of this law passing they will raise prices to cover costs for supporting old hardware. But I, perosnally change phones every 2 years becuse I like new techology and do not want to pay the price for supporting obsolte hardware which

While I am all for long-term support, as stated this law could be a little harh on manufacturers, forcing them to support multiple obsoletter models (we are talking iPhone 6 released 7 years ago). I think it would be reasonable to give them

WiFi in the title is clearly a clickbait.

They definetely need such option for people like me. For me, wasting such a big chunk of my keyboard for keys I never use is a no-go.

I was one of the few people outside google who was actually excited about Google Wave. We used it as an internal communicatoin tool within the company with great suceess. Looking at popularity of Slack, MS Teams, Zulip, etc., one could not

This would break the social contract of Twitter, as it was preceived my many people. Unlike Facebook "walled garden" model Twitter was ultimately an open web publishing platform. Changing this will move them into a different categ

I would prefer "modular" phone where I can chose what apps to include. The dialer and SMS could come standard but everything else should be optional. However I want to be able to add apps I want, like Lyft or Signal. I guess somen

This is a very bad news for motorcyclists. I am using Android Auto on by Pixel mounted on my bike handlebars. The reason is that it has bigger buttons and easier to operate wearing gloves.

While it is bad it is still not as restrictive as Apple policies. Even at non-rooted device you can side-load APKs. Rooting device gives you an extra level of freedom of loading custom OS. This is something none of iOS device never had offi

So the only way to do messaging on this phone is insecure, severely limited carrier messaging (SMS)? This will probably turn away many people, even ones looking for simplicity.

Is it the same issue Linus was pointing out when discussing possible adoption of Rust for Linux kernel?

All you need is a copy of private key to compromise such system and generate and sign fake transactions. You could never be sure it has not been made.

The SCIP quote the author tries to dispute is still very true. If you ask developers of a decently sized modern mature software system to list the main problems they are encountering, they will probably name complexity, legacy code, lack of

Since I switched to Firefox I have to restart it every 3 days as it gets slow. All debugging suggestions start with "disable all plugins." But this is not practical. We practically live in our browsers nowadays. Without my ad bloc

Projects like these will be always one step behind the thing they are trying to replicate (MacOS in this case). It is better to spend one's creative energy innovating and coming up with better solutions rather than re-implementing wh

It would be interesting to compare demographics of people pre-ordering Cybertruck vs electric F150. I was always assuming the hard core truck guys would rather go for F150 while there will be many first-time truck owners ordering Cybertruck

The `eval` part is total rubbish. The author draws a connection from memory safety to eval. For example both Rust and Haskell, are "memory safe" languages without `eval`. He is probably thinking about intepreted languages like Lis

I had an argument with my local supermarked when they insisted on scanning my ID each time I buy beer. To add insult to the injusry: I was in my forties at this time with grey hair. I stopped shopping there.

What about extending "right to repair" to OS software and supporting open source OS like Linux or FreeBSD? Current product page only lists Microsoft Windows. I do not see an option to purchase it without, so Microsoft tax seems to

Does this implies I will need to pay Microsoft tax even if I am planning to run Linux?

People using iPhones are consenting to Apple deciding what programs they are allowed to run. It may be OK for some people, but not for me. I feel the MacOS is moving int the same direction.
