A very abrupt ending to what could have been a very educative text aimed at people who want to know 'what to choose', how to reason, and where we are currently at. I'd love to read more.

What a magnificent writeup. Much thanks, very useful, I always got a bit stuck on knowing about string types, their pitfalls and which to end up choosing, so I'm very happy with this useful document!

Let me restate this for parent (or try to): this shouldn't be legal. At all.

Good article, but visually representing data differently from how it's stored in the database can be a huge PITA. A pet peeve of mine is real names as an example, Dutch family names may have an infix (van, van der, den, van den) which

It argues the topic pretty well: xz is unsuitable for long-term archival. The arguments are in-depth and well worded. Do you have any argument to the contrary beyond "sour grapes"?

Neat! Very handy for looking up issues remotely. It has a dependency on firefox, but on systems that have Nix, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Terry Davis was clearly the mad scientist we didn't know we needed. He brought many useful insights to OS development. Maybe one day the seeds he planted will grow out to become a wonderful tree. On days when he wasn't hampered by

The question I've latently had for decades: "what's the difference between .COM and .EXE", is answered by this article. Great reading too, brings back some good memories about MS-DOS tinkering. customizing the prompt (pr

I think Google is preventing the monopoly themselves, by throwing megabucks ($450M per year) towards Mozilla's development of Firefox.

I love this. Can you earn their trust, as in, become pals with them? Or is this more of a human desire. It's probably mostly food based priorities to them.

Fantastic innovations. But where's the underline? :)

Alright, I'll be the one to ask the "what's next" question. What's next? A revival of Gopher?

Isn't it amazing how much things improve in so little time. Things used to go so slow, now they go exponentially faster.

I can fully relate to the criticism expressed, but does the article have to be that filled with expletives? I would argue that it could appeal to a far wider audience if the writer would be able to find a way around this crude use of a lang

Not sure about the readership,though. But I think you're right with regards to the discussion - you only hear one side a lot which makes it appear that there is only one side which is the majority. But it's really not the case, ho

Thanks. People sharing amp links... it was only a matter of time, and really, really sucks.

So, no crash to speak of at all. Crash is when it devalues to a lot less than what we're seeing now.

Good to know, I'll be sure to do just that. Much thanks.

Wish I could type with pleasure and low latency on my Android phone. Even on my HTC One M9 it's cringeworthy!

Coming from the Internet, how about you both back up your statement with some rationale?

For laughs I sometimes say I'm AltaVista'ing something. Or "Veronica'ing" if I suspect they'd might get the reference.

In Dutch, we call it a container. Yes, the English word is used by the Dutch to refer to the rubbish bin we all have outside of our houses. They're all the same style too pretty much: hard plastic (not sure which type) and all pick-upp
