There's a true joy in working with some languages. It's like using a great pen or driving a well-made car. You get focus and flow.

In France, there's Vigik badges, which seem to have all the advantages of app-based locks without the defects (mainly: relying on an active device and being dependent on external network and infrastructure). Can someone here compare bo

I'm afraid the title could be misread as "I'm tolerant so I'm more clever than you" or "the population of democratic nations are more intelligent than nondemocratic". All of that is obviously bullshit if y

These stories resonate a lot in the public as being an evil consequence of human activity, and no one can counter that. But it comes with horror stories and myths of "old and ancient viruses and bacteria", the next pandemics etc.

It would have been impossible to guarantee the absence of chemistry anyway. Only the discovery of its existence can end the search.

I think I misunderstand. You seem to say you're using cordon+drain to prevent a cluster from scaling down, and it saves money? How that, it seems counterintuitive to me?

Makes sense. My setup doesn't allow for that. Hence my ignorance. Good for you!

The benefits of the consumer measures in comfort or social status, mostly. The benefits of the producer measures in dollars. However you balance it, the producer wins. By many orders of magnitude. And since were talking about privacy and pe

Both and more. Having my data sold to 3rd parties is an obvious first. And if you think the terms of service are enough to cover you, see how fast they can change in everyday life and please reconsider. Plus, data can be sold pseudo-anonymo

I would 100% prefer to lose my keys rather than letting Amazon or Google in. FYI: I have zero Alexa/Siri enabled device, zero automated home device, a degoogled phone, etc etc. So we might have different perspectives on the matter.

Mid-sentence I thought you'd walk 15km per day. That was a brief moment of awe.

Very interesting approach. Unfortunately, the landing page does not give (me) enough that I want to sign up. Some features, differentiators and screenshots would be a nice addition to the otherwise quite dry homepage.

I was first hurt that you conjugated "al dente", but in fact it's just how languages incorporate new elements and evolve, so that's fine, I guess. > - how are you cooking your pasta? > - I'm aldenting them, of

Sounds like literate programming. I've used it once or twice for training material and as "fancy" slides at an internal presentation. Worked quite well as one-offs but I'm not sure that scales wrt its usability and maint
