Ideas just have to be tried out. The problem is when a company have absolutely no process for letting developers, young or experienced, try out a new idea. Many companies have a very random "process", where a few select people can

Surely it should be possible to dampen the seat, so that it could become comfortable enough for at least day-to-day grocery shopping?

Implementing a 3D vector or quaternion library in Go feels like a really bad fit, mainly due to the lack of operator overloading (which can easily be abused, like >> in C++). But it is an example of a field where Go allows programmer

Learning the game of Go to a medium proficient level (3kyu). It's a humbling experience, but the insights and lessons about strategy, influence, timing and prioritization feels universal.

To deploy a Python program as something that looks just like if a C program + a C library was deployed, is a nice option to have. Nuitka provides this. The speed is also better than a regular Python application.

The Yocto package format supports a mix of inheriting BitBake package files, Bash and Python. It's over-engineered and unpleasant. Values can easily be defined 3 or 4 layers away from the file you are looking at, either in one of the m

I think the whole concept of "final say" is both poorly defined and poorly thought out. Should people not be allowed to speak their mind? Should they not be free to do work (merit) in the direction of their choosing? It should be

Full out Pirate Linux currently does not exist, as far as I know. I guess just adding package repositories with dubious licenses would do the same job?

Almost all the energy we have, ultimately comes from the sun. As long as we can covert energy in a clean way, there is nothing inherently environmentally unfriendly about spending energy on one thing that could have been used for another th

What would happen if the OS gradually forgot all changes that were made since factory settings, and all files that mattered were stored somewhere else? Would it only be annoying, or would it be comfortable to know that the system would grad

I think they only prepared a tag for 1.0.0, while 0.7 is still the latest (and very recent) release. I don't know why they do it this way, though.

I read an article that stated that the "H" gate can be used for creating a random number generator. Using this simulator, I was able to try it out and see that it would indeed produce random numbers. This was an educational experi
