Viola also means purple/violet or the instrument. Let's try to be more chill about people making typos, nobody, even a fluent French speaker would read it as "raped". Only someone with a keen eye for drama and being a nu

So well put. This should be posted every time someone is nostalgic of those times. I'm not pro-walled garden, all is dandy and barbie but there is an opposite extreme. For me the most fun time as a teenager was role-playing on forums:

You know the 80/20 "rule"? Well, that last 20% is what I believe will keep us around. AI is going to be a great multiplier but if the base is 0, you can multiply it by whatever you want. I feel ChatGPT-like products are like

In Italy the Eritrean and Ethiopian parts of our history are mentioned and nothing more, at least in the past. There is a very good documentary about Italian war crimes which include the Ethiopian campaign, as well as the treatment of the B

For secrets, just literally have an ssh command which reads the local .env file and uses them to start the server with them as arguments/env vars.

Exactly, for over 4 years I've been using my trusty 10 lines of bash (most of them is confirmation) to deploy in seconds and with 0 downtime. I should probably opensource it, lol

A game shouldn't be published without a screenshot, especially something I need to build/run on my machine.

Not really, that is a very limited view on why video games are different than other games. Otherwise gamers could as well be watching TV.

In academia it's often used as a cheap environment scanner, accessibility studies for people with limited mobility, etc. I worked on a few projects where the Kinect was mounted on a self-driving robot for 3D mapping of areas unaccessib

Same! I believe it's like VR: the lack of real commitment from the companies making them, which doesn't foster a community of creators will always be the death of any new technology. Same applies to wearables (barely alive thanks

So kind of correct but not quite related? The old film stuff which survives is mainly due to material quality, storage and luck, in that sequence. Those DVD started already losing the battle.

Both Firefox/Mozilla and Wikipedia are actually exceptions in this world as they do get quite a large substantial amount of donations. So I don't really see this being true. Also foundations shouldn't seek to grow but to keep
