With great time, and care. Discord managed to do this in only 4 years, so it is possible. The cynical side of me says that a distributed social network, by definition, doesn't have the ability to run large marketing campaigns like Disc

Part of the issue is the constant churn, not just change . It's change for change's sake, and more broadly, complexity for it's own sake. Take microservices for example. Classic cargo culting development of what Google and F

If it looks like a scam, then false positives are unavoidable. These companies are trying to protect average people from being scammed on their services, and I would honestly prefer they keep doing this. I do not want to spend hours on the

Instagram is a closed source, proprietary app developed by a megacorp. Freedom has nothing to do with anything on that app. Or so I'm told...

I'm not a puritan by any means, but literally millions of kids use this app. It's not a good idea to have these things mixed.

My point is that the industry really hasn't moved on from the old LAMP stack if it's been replaced by a single company. When it truly comes down to it, the day-to-day tools are not ours if they aren't open. And if deploying a

Lambda is a proprietary solution that only works for people on AWS. Linux is open, and I just need to put it on a box. How do I install the AWS Lambda stack on a standard Linux box?

No, of course not. On a small website, the bots are such a huge part of the logs that the whole exercise becomes an attempt at extracting understanding from random noise. It's why those visitor count widgets died out years ago.

If we want to reach AGI within the lifetime of the universe, and quantum effects are required for consciousness [within the lifetime etc...], it stands to reason we'd need quantum computers.

People stopped caring about Windows being dominant years ago. Mac and Linux became competitive for those who wanted it, mobile ate the world, and Windows only dominates in Office and gaming, neither of which are apparently worth fighting ov
