Agreed. I'm hopeful to see if their research into synthetically created hydrogen fuel powered cars will get us fuel created by green energy that we can run in hydrogen fuel cell cars so we get the best of both cutting fuel emissions to

Do you happen to have an opinion re: how this book compares with "The Power of Habit"? I'm trying to decide whether to purchase "Tiny Habits" and the blurb on the seller's page is nice, but somewhat generic.

Not to be a grumpy old man, but I will say, my known original definition of Web 3.0 was the Semantic Web [1] but I have no idea if that definition came before the one in TFA about those selling javascript webpage controls marketing their la

I like #2 because, while I do have subscriptions lasting years, at some point, I will turn them off. Life circumstances change. But having a 'rent to own' model for digital files is perfectly acceptable to me.

I don't know. I know that nothing digital is truly permanent outside of like CD-Rs and Project Silica, but websites you own tend to be way, way more permanent than services like Xanga, MySpace, old LiveJournal, etc. and I don't se

I do understand that there is much more flexibility of content to be hosted on Substack. It is, as it were, a OneNote page that can have access charged for. Pretty nice! What I don't understand is...how do I get a PDF / talk autho

Thank you! I first went back to vector legacy, but then I saw monobook which is the wikipedia of my memories and have swapped there, so now I'm happy. Kudos to WM for keeping the option for that theme in MediaWiki. Now I have a reason

I would offer docker containers as helm charts so I can bake in preferences and defaults. If a customer has never used kubernetes and just wants to run a few containers from you, I would consider handing them a docker compose file instead.

What are the chances that type of story could be repeated today? Seems pretty unlikely, but corporations are in some ways 'dumb' and we do base a lot of our society on trust.

I agree. I picked signal over deltachat to replace group MMS threads because it was less startup friction than getting everyone to login to their email accounts on a mobile account since they got SMSes for free. Now? Delta chat is looking p

I agree. Yes, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE have been the big 3 for a long time, and I doubt they will go away, but Cosmic Desktop is currently the main thing I'm watching for a post-C-dominated-desktop-linux. Ubuntu is trying to go cen

I watched [1] in parent comment (really about the 49 minute mark fwiw), that was heartwarming. Ageism needs to be kicked from this industry. Yes, defeated, static, close-minded people of all ages exist, but don't tar everyone with that

Very cool, I love the idea of feeding some rust code to my retirement community of old PCs, native PEs that I don't have to use Win32 and C to use.

I've not read the resource either, but it sounds like (from only reading your and GP comment) Anaconda moved something from free-as-in-freedom to free-as-in-beer-as-long-as-non-commercial. Which is reasonable enough to me.
