   The majority does care though. Every day you'll hear someone complaining about how frustrating it is to figure out how to do something on their computer that should be simpler, like finding a certain program or file. They're compl

   The obvious benefit for adopting USB-C is compatibility with other devices. It seems strange to me that almost all new mobile devices from almost all manufacturers (including some from apple) are converging on a single port while apple&#x27

   Yeah pretty much. The bezels are smaller than on current ipads, but yeah "edge to edge" is definitely a stretch.

   Well "dentist" is just a fancier way of saying "toothist" so "tooth doctor" doesn't sound too bad.

   Is it possible that it's something other than gravity? A force we don't know about because of how weak it is but has an effect on a large scale? I'm completely ignorant of the subject so I don't know how crazy that might

   This doesn't answer your question, but I thought I'd mention: A lot of great engineering goes into Firefox too. I really think you ought to try the version of Firefox that enables WebRender by default, when it comes out. I've

   TablePlus is fantastic. I think it's coming for Windows soon.

    I use them to convert markdown files to pdfs and open them. It can be as simple as the shell command `pandoc .md -o .pdf; open *.pdf`, and for more complicated documents, you can just write a makefile and have vscode use that.

    Maybe, but for projects like this, it's as simple as "FOSS is a prerequisite", for me at least.

    I mean really how is that different from downloading .exe installers and running them?

    They do have an official docker image, that's a pretty good alternative in my opinion.

    Some languages, like Arabic, have "roots" which are used to form words. These roots usually have an abstract or ambiguous meaning. You can take those roots and turn them into words, which have a defined meaning, by using a form, k

    Well the bad guys have shown that they can make as many fake accounts as they want on facebook/twitter. If anything, they're encouraged to do so. I don't see how a decentralized network would be any worse in that regard at le

    I looked up information on how to legally comply with GDPR and it's a lot more complicated than you're making it out to be. You have to show regulators the well-defined pipeline for any personal data, and justify to them why that

    I don't think people who have never programmed before are the only ones who would be interested in more consistency and maintainability in their code.

    That's possible, but it's also possible that they believed in supernatural intervention when playing dice games. It seems they did for other parts of their lives, why would this be different?

    I agree that we can do better. But I don't think you'll ever be able to avoid some trade-off between CPU performance and ease-of-use. We might shrink the gap, but there will always be a market for languages that allow easy prototy
