I had read the story. So cool! Maybe once we will see a new specification allowing the code solution.

The font is great. What I miss is a step forward in technology: variable glyphs. The feeling of reading a handwritten text is lost when the letters have always the same shape. If it were possible to add 5-6 little variations for each letter

NUMBERED PARAGRAPHS, YESSSS! Seriously, once page numbers have become optional, electronic editions of books (monographs, essays, and academic texts) need to number the paragraphs so we can keep references working. I’m fed up with referenci

Haha! Please, don’t! We don’t need clipart or senseless AI generated schemas on PowerPoints :-)

Every improvement in image generation seems to reduce the value of the images themselves. When anything can be faked or created in seconds, what is an image really worth? With text or code, you can dig into a meaningful dialogue because the

Not just futuristic, they’re designed with intention. That’s what I miss most of all about the current buildings.

> half of his cabinet. That’s bold and inaccurate. What you shouldn’t trust is El Corte Inglés, who would code another shitty platform for the Spanish institutions.

Do you mean Discord is a kind of community for young hackers? I’m curious about Discord because I’ve been asked about a chat app for teenagers who don’t have mobile phones.

I’ve been following this approach since last school year. I focus on in-class work and home-time is for reading and memorization. My classmates still think classrooms are for lecturing, but it's coming. The paper-and-pen era is back to

Yep, it's easy to shortcut AI plagiarism, but you need time. In most of the universities around the world (online universities especially), the number of students is way too big, while professors get more and more pressure on publishin

Here you speak about your data as if it were rocks you found trekking, but the data we’re talking here isn’t even paper or pictures: it’s digital data you can’t access or backup by yourself. You definitely need uncontrollable entities all

40 years ago, we weren’t living in a dystopian society –we may be closer now. Back then, most people kept less than 50 photos at home but spent more time with their families, sharing stories and souvenirs. Companies have taught us to do oth

IMHO the constant complaints about losing chats or needing conversation backups aren’t technical problems—they’re social ones. We need to reclaim the freedom to speak with others ephemerally. No one should want all their conversations recor

Cutting admin people might mean more paperwork for professors and researches, which can lead to less grants and funding because you can’t do science while doing paperwork. Not that easy to be efficient without losing productivity.

My parents' generation used to add sugar to everything because they considered sugar a source of energy. I remember eating strawberries directly from the plant, and they were sweet. However, my aunt would serve the same strawberries wi

My only complain is on the low value of the search results the average person gets, which is easy to judge: passive advertising, SEOsites, etc. I don’t care what they search, read or watch.

But they don’t get attention-public-funding enough to be profitable because of the garbage. The garbage is burying them in search results but also literally.
