Exactly, the "financial technology of tomorrow" that has a built in preference of people born yesterday. Nothing but a transparent ploy to build a monopoly on cloud computation, under the auspices of decentralisation. Well guess w

The speakers look nice but those shelfs will get old quickly, they bend under the wait of books and have the cheap look of a grocery store. If ur into design pay a carpenter for bespoke shelfs.

Exactly, defeatism can be pathologic to individuals and society. It's frustrating that doing anything involves the extra effort of countering this attitude.

Post positivism, you got to have people believe in progress to make progress. But it's all meaningless, they say, because over 4 billion years the sun will run out of hydrogen and go super nova. It's not the sort of attitude that

Look what happened with PSD2, did we get a type of pan european payment api, no every bank just integrates its own "answer" to PDS2.

Almost every major banks has its own startup incubator project that functions as a type of lead investor that directs the mariage of its children into these incestual relationships. This tends to skew the market towards serving the needs of

This is already how a lot of IT companies in the EU function, someone makes the iOS app, someone the backend, someone the project management, someone the security audit, and someone does the logging of the different services that are analys

I feel a lot of anger in this thread, and I share your frustration. Is there anything we can do about this jokers? I feel that the EU is very toxic in the way it tries to make us all work together. Maybe things like FIWARE are, I don'

Very cool, if you like stuff like this check out the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, that's just insane: https://youtu.be/dyckL6HuLRU?t=162

Thats a little bit unfair, even the W3C's web-agency has a hard time building an accessible website and needed spend two weeks (of billable time) reviewing different web frameworks because of it: https://w3c.studio24.net&#x2

That's why I am so exited about gioui.org because it'll allow native applications for OSX, Windows, Linux (both X11 and Wayland), iOS, android and (sortof) webASM. It is a simple wrapper around the input devices like mouse, keyboa

I think you get "creative" when you discover or create a game with new rules, and then explore this landscape in an exhaustive fashion. For example: Like Miles Davis playing both cool jazz and jazz fusion. Cubism, paint on a flat

I just love facts like this: Although Spain is hardly an intellectual superpower, it translates more books in a single year than the entire Arab world has in the past thousand years. The links to the UN report seems to check out, but on the

The mirror molecule of glucose tastes the same but has no caloric value because our bodies chemistry is depended on the handedness of a molecule. It is however very expensive to make because all of nature prefers the same handedness. No nat

I've though about improving [[Roam]] with semantics but maybe this is a fools errand. Human's use of language is somewhere between the bag-of-word model and part-of-speech tagging. Neither a word salad nor a constructive proof bas

Every anti-war movie ends up being a pro-war movie. I stoped watching it halfway through because I couldn't get past the cheap narrative device of begging a question and interrupting the answer with cheap drama. Sort of like cable tele

I think it's unfair to only blame developers for this bad culture in our industry. At every layer of the stack the same things happen. At my local government they reformed child benefits and needed a new IT system to handle it, of-cour

Lots of social science in crap, for sure, no arguing about it, dunno how to make it better then not to do it. Though, some are interesting if you have the patience for it, ex. Linguistics, Psychology and Economics, even things like critical

Thanks, it was your work that kindled my interest in programming the GPU. The fact that most vector graphics are done by CPU libraries made me resize it's still a very underdeveloped area. The hard thing about it is also what makes it

How do you get started with learning GPU programming? I mean that in a pedagogical way, like what is the best educational way forward. Build stupid stuff in shader toys?
