Hmm. You could also argue that not having understanding of the technology is a good thing. For instance, the judge can remove themselves from the details and look at it on a higher level. It’s the job of the attorneys to make the case for o

Yeah that’s the difference between a “blank stare” in the interview and a decent response. Anyone applying for a database position should know that relates to transactions and yadda-yadda. They should know why transactions are important, et

Pretty sure the military recommends their troops use signal for civilian communication when abroad. In addition, I’d wager lots of politicians use it now for obvious reason’s. Ergo that won’t happen. That being said, can’t blame DoJ for try

#1 is most relevant. China got hit with massive flooding and their rapidly built infrastructure isn’t built to withstand climate changes. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Who gives what China is failing at: we need a techn

Yeah I agree with the idea of pivoting. I suppose to clarify: * Pivoting would leverage existing technology built in the process of initial concept. Which to me is the equivalent of scrapping the initial idea (while salvaging the generally

Spending your time how you want to is never meaningless. Especially if you’re creating value in the world.

I think the Unix philosophy should apply here. The fact that WhatsApp did one thing well and it had a good business model (was it $1 per year?) is the important bit. When you say, “Now the app does dating…” I think the right move is to scra

The browser has a search bar at the top of the page; Amazon has a search bar at the top of the page. Ergo it’s actually bad UX design. Thinking desktop UX if that was an “Amazon app” there would be ONE singular search bar. To make matters w

Hard disagree your hard disagree. If you throw a vase in the air it will fall down and shatter: like, duh it’s gravity. But how many years to figure the equations? To tie the how/why to the obvious? Don’t trivialize their work because

There’s the other side of the spectrum as well: what the influencers seek to gain by amplifying criticisms for any odd remark. Just think of the whole anti-vaccine movements and the spread of misinformation. Folks come out of the woodwork a

Hmm come to think of it cigarettes are actually a social network of sorts. At least in the beginning :)

by baktubi 5y ago
There’s obviously good things provided by tech (otherwise folks wouldn’t have started using it). A social network is a good thing in theory. The problem is not the technological concept itself but where and how we consume it (e.g every 30 s

Hmm. This feels a bit wrong to me. Double period makes longer pause, and wedged between a quote it doesn’t flow well: .”. Feels like a visual stutter. Either .” or “. are more final and visually stable. I’d argue depending on whether the pa

It’s pretty astounding if this isn’t flagged as monopolistic behavior. I’m not opposed to Apple introducing a system keyboard as a clone but the independent developer should not be strong-armed off their platform. Honestly it just shows wea

For the record I didn’t say “a year of forced military training.” What if its a 20 year community involvement?

“ Most investigations apparently involved veterans, some of whom had unfavorable discharge records.3” Honestly, you’re going to have bad apples no matter what. But what about the rest of the citizens? How can they respond to disaster scenar

It would equip everyone with better skills. But more important would be the sense of community involvement—most attackers have a disease of the mind brought on by isolation and lack of empathy.

I think the nation should make military training/civil service mandatory. The reality is that random attacks will happen in random places and everyone needs to be equipped to handle accordingly. Basic combat training and paramedic abil

I agree Linux is great—and I shall continue to use the OS. But the online ads are even more exhausting than desktop-bound ads no matter which browser, no matter which ad blocker, no matter which OS. Not just ads but those annoying “cookie”

Agreed. Not having enough space for awk would be daaaaamn small indeed.

by baktubi 5y ago
If you’re using DamnSmallLinux etc I’d imagine you can package your own awk quite easily! Perl would require a lot more packages. But all you need to do is copy a couple binaries right?

Alas, the state of the tech advertising industry… Honestly, it’s all so exhausting I’m just so damn tired. You can’t even buy an OS anymore that isn’t loaded to the brim with bloat and spyware—provided BY THE MANUFACTURER nonetheless. Hones

I would like to see something like biodiesel electric hybrid. It can reuse infrastructure and could use solar to offset fuel consumption.
