Wow, I didn't know Lee was a "nominal" crown princee of South Korea. As a South Korean myself, I really hate the former royal family. It embarrasses me that their negative influence contributed to the collapse of not only the

I can totally understand why Alphabet is on the list, but what is your reason for regarding Samsung as the most innovative company? Nowadays I've found them struggling to compete with their Chinese and Taiwanese opponents.

"It would be a zero-sum ecosystem, except for the fact that miners have to pay their bills in dollars" I've also been curious since the inception of Bitcoin. As the power plants don't accept cryptocurrencies, someone sho

Wouldn't that be slower? To this day, despite the continued efforts to improve the rendering speed, I hesitate a bit before opening PDF files due to their heaviness. In that alternative universe, would it be possible to optimize PS ren

Yeah, I like the Samsung UI. I think it's brilliant to have the scroll area in the below half of the screen initially, to make it easy to touch the first few items of the list. I even like some of their apps. Samsung Health is, in my o

I've appreciated LG's adventurous moves. The one I liked the most was LG Optimus 3D, which provided a naked-eye 3D display similar to that of Nintendo 3DS. The most recent LG Wing, I was hopeful. But LG also left a bad taste in my

I think you and the GP are disagreeing with each other. You are criticizing LG's gimmicky adventurous choices, which are the exact reasons why the GP liked LG.

It can be frustrating, because that means you were unable to save tens of bucks by piracying Windows. At least that's what I have seen why some people prefer computers with FreeDOS.

Wow, he was 66 when he authored an O'Reilly book on developing Chrome apps. That's very impressive. I wonder if I could have the same curiosity on future technologies when I reach that age.

What I wanted to say was that Go was not a replacement for C, compared to Rust which could have similar performance characteristics as C or C++. The lack of manual memory management is one thing, but there are cultural reasons too. For exam

I agree with that. Go can be frustrating if you expect the level of expressiveness of Python, Java, or Rust. But if you regard it as a better C, you can appreciate its ergonomic upgrades compared to C. What is unfortunate is that Go could b

I mean, Go's error handling is one of the worst implementations of the "error code" idea, so it is a bit unfair to disregard the idea just because one particular implementation is bad. You should try Rust or Swift, at least t

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm opposed to. I know the in-line environment variable syntax, and I actually use it, but somehow I feel uneasy whenever I need to do that. Possibly related to my own aesthetic preference, I don't k

It is a bit sad that so-called "native AOT" was not included in the release. When I heard last year that .NET 5 would support single-file binary, I expected it to be the same as something like Rust or Go would offer. But no, Micro

Having a mode that makes all existing arithmetic instructions interrupt sounds plausible, though there must be something I overlooked.

Yeah, I got that too. It was clear that the name was a parody of WSL.

Wow, the lexer function is even named "pragmaValue". So Go does have a concept of pragma, not just magic comments. Go developers' stubbornness on forward compatibility is beyond me.

AFAICT, this doesn't seem to fix the performance issue of the modern Windows UI, even though it claims so. I've always been saddened by the modern Photos app taking several seconds to boot, compared to the good ol' Picture an

What's interesting is, many South Koreans still believe the South Korean government is to blame. Perhaps no people are satisifed by their government? Usual counterarguments are like these: 1. The government should have prevented the en
