Also, it’s always six months from now, because otherwise you could just point at the hundred ways they’re wrong right now. It’s nothing but the ol’ dotcom “trust me, bro” kind of marketing.

The point is, in most of Europe it’s the richer folks that foot the bill for the poorer ones. That’s a system based on solidarity - you contribute to our collective ability to treat our sick and injured, according to your financial means. E

Very well said. I think what you speak of sounds a lot like degrowth and/or idealised socialism. Unfortunately, I don't see either of those ever becoming viable policy in our world. The only times we've managed to even remote

this is neat! Diorama-based games are really underrated IMO. I'm currently attempting to do something related, building a game on top of Google Street View, with 3D audio and objects embedded in the panorama.

Hey there! I understand it can be frustrating to go through so many interview stages. For us it's important there’s enough time dedicated for both sides to get to know each other. Indeed, the process might be lengthy, but there's

thank you, I've recently been searching for an alternative to Nuxt that isn't a heavy black box, so this looks very interesting!

It's definitely part of the problem and a big reason why software engineering is in the state it's in. To me it always seemed almost like a religion. I wish we took more from the stereotype of traditional engineering, where standa

this is to do with the philosophy of Cliqz (who developed what's now Brave Search) - if you can't find the results on the first page, you'll probably be better off changing the search term than paginating. I have no idea how

Do they really? I'm not sure I agree, these days we have things like Arduino and Raspberry Pi which have been a huge success, and I'd argue they attract a much wider range of children than middle-class white boys who just happened

Anyone who still has doubts about the extent of Facebook's undemocratic power is clearly about to be fully convinced.
