Calling is broken. I wished Apple would just add an option "Block all calls unless their number is in contacts". It's ridiculous that this option is only available in Do Not Disturb. It's like Apple was trying to somehow

Exactly. I always find it amusing when people say they did something for 0$ by working in their spare time. This calculation doesn't make any sense. Can you build the initial Google project in your spare-time? Probably, if you find eno

And it never will be :D. There was never any need for crypto currency to begin with and pretty much all of them fail to deliver on their core promise of decentralization. If they do deliver on that promise, they are so slow that the idea of

The main reason that D hasn't been picked up by anyone is mostly because it is an evolution of C++, not a revolution. Discarding an entire ecosystem for an evolution is not going to happen. Rust took a very different approach and just

What number of things will happen? This argument is so unbelievably stupid, that I don't even know where to begin. First of all, encryption in WhatsApp is targeted towards consumers. You won't catch terrorists by limiting encrypti

Yes of course. The old argument that Linux is free of backdoors because it is open source. It's such a ridiculous claim. Software systems on that scale are so complex, there is NO way whatsoever to make sure there isn't a backdoor

Sorry, but Linux hasn't gotten anywhere in a long while. They were trying something that may have worked (Ubuntu + Unity), but this just looks and feels like a toy still. When it comes to GUI and user experience, let's face it, th

Big tech is a threat to democracy? What a backwards, self-serving hunk of junk. Big tech might be the only way to sustain democracy. Technology gives governments the power to instill a lasting total dictatorship, something completely unprec

I mean "Data structures & Algorithms" is a very broad topic. The baseline is high-school. Well "the average CS major" is also a very broad statement :D. I have no good overview of what an average CS major is, to be h

Hilarious. Hobbyist projects for the win! In general it is helpful not to be completely ignorant of how the state-of-the art in your line of work is done and perhaps ask why it is done this way. Its almost inconceivable to me how it is poss

Why would you think that we send 7bn people into space? There should not have been 7bn people to start with. It just happened because somehow species tend to multiply until their environment can't sustain further growth. In space, it w

It is a bit like with a formula one car. If you go through the curve with 100 mph, you will die, because you really need to go through the curve at 200 mph for aerodynamics to give you enough downward force to keep you on the track... We ar

There is nothing particularly impressive about the Apollo program, at least not these days. You are essentially comparing today's frontier of High-Tech research with 50 year old "needs to work reliably" technology, which had

Diabetes is the cause of nothing. Diabetes is not a disease, it is a status. Like a runny nose when you have the flu. What you can say is that people with Diabetes tend to develop something... Sure. But causality is not causation.

This sounds sketchy. Either the rest of the industry is incredibly incompetent or they are deliberately omitting a huge drawback of this solution. And I don't see lack of expandability as a drawback, just buy a bit more RAM to start wi

This might be one of the core reasons why Linux never took off as a Desktop solution. Also looking at the comments here just shows how out of touch people are with the real world... If you relish in terse commands that don't mean anyth
