This article from 2013 might give an indication on why some people choose FOSS even when they can afford the non-FOSS solutions: The licensing. My God, the licensing. It's not so much the money, as the infernal, mind-bending tax co

It's worth mentioning that the initial version of this didn't use WebAssembly. Bellard literally implemented i386/PC emulation in pure JavaScript (ES5) back in 2011.

A lot of research into the genetic history of the Indian subcontinent seems to be from the late 90s and early 2000s. Is there a reason it has stopped? We have gotten a lot better at genetic anthropology since then but for some reason there

Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to do sustainable rare earth metal mining or end up being more geopolitically subjugated by China and Russia.

You're probably correct if you don't consider Southern Europe and Eastern Germany to be developed.

In the coming years we will probably see a lot of complicated microservice architectures be replaced by well-designed and optimized Rust (and modern C++) monoliths that use simple replication to scale horizontally.

As long as I have been browsing the English-language Internet the overall mood among Americans has been that the S&P500 and US dollar hegemony will collapse in a month. Why is that? I'm European but the US doesn't seem too dif

OpenAI was conceptualized and founded in 2014/15 to avoid AI being dominated by one country and one company (Google). That is no longer the case. OpenAI should change their misleading name but it's worth remembering that their ori

That is not true. Seismic monitoring show that the explosions were equivalent to several hundred kilograms of explosives. With that much explosives there was no need to remove the concrete. The "concrete removing CIA robots" narra

As a European I'm glad the CIA/Poland/aliens blew up the pipelines that were funding the Russian invasion. Even the environmental effect was minor; the methane emission from the leaks had 1/5th of the GHG effect of my sm

The children of millionaire lawyers and doctors also make a lot of noise on social media about "millionaires being the new middle class" and why we should only eat Zuckerberg and Bezos but leave out their wealthy parents.

This kind of naive thinking is what lead to the West being caught off guard in Ukraine. Russia and China have been weaponizing space for decades.

Why have so many of these AI models been trained on GPL licensed code? Almost half the controversy could have avoided by ignoring GPL code. I know that even non-copyleft licenses like the Apache and MIT licenses are copyrighted and require

Is there a reason Zig is taking so long to go 1.0? The language itself feels mature.

Nah, more often than not the "wrongness" is directly harming society or some vulnerable group of people. Shows like Ancient Aliens and Ancient Apocalypse are a funnel into a world of conspiracy theories that all end up with anti-s

It's not just the filter names. Their UI also looks identical to Instagram. Why are they copying Instagram 1:1 when the Instagram UX sucks so much?

When exactly has Western media been soft on Saudi Arabia? They have always been portrayed as a backwards country that oppresses women, kills LGBT people, and since 2014 Saudi Arabia has also been heavily criticized for their war in Yemen. T

I only meant IoT devices. Most embedded systems that don't have WiFi/BLE requirements are probably using ARM32, MSP430 or AVR.

It's interesting how the ESP32 has become the de facto IoT MCU used in almost all new IoT products. Other companies like TI and STMicro had their own cheap WiFi/BLE MCUs but their devkits used to be too expensive for hobbyists a
