   Can someone here explain why this is news? Isn't it to be expected that a highly optimized production operating system will outperform an OS that's still under development?

   I know this is a bit off topic, but with regard to a secure but invisible browser isn't that just Chrome?

   I'm not sure that's true. I've heard a great deal about billionaires and the things they do on their private islands.

   Could we put Nobel laureates in scare quotes. The Nobel Prize in economics wasn't actually established by Alfred Nobel but instead Sweden's national bank trying to add credibility to their pseudoscience. The official title of the

   Congratulations on shipping, what you have is very slick. Quick question, not trying to start a flame war just genuinely curious. Why did you pick OT over other approaches to realtime collaborative editing such as CRDTs?

   Essential PragmataPro has a reduced character set for €19. I do think it's $250 dollars better than Iosevka. What convinced me is manual hinting.

    Not open source or free but I find PragmataPro [0] to be absolutely gorgeous. Iosevka comes close but I don't think it'll ever be able to bridge the gap for me. [0] https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro&#

    Isn't this exactly why they're doing the reproducible build stuff?

    I normally just tell them "it was a few weeks back". This gives a full year for them to forget about it and has a sufficiently vague period of time that they can't nail you next year should they remember.

    Yeah, you're right. My brain made the association between XLR and generic audio cables without thinking.

    The use of an XLR cord is a stroke of genius. Having the state of the machine clearly visible and manipulatable by people with fine motor problems solves 90% of the problems I encounter when volunteering with the elderly.

    As someone who lives in a country that is essentially a collection mining companies with a flag (Canada), I'm glad to see other people are starting to take this seriously.

    I think they're remarking on the irony of getting up on a high horse about trustworthy computing while doing something remarkably untrustworthy only a few years later.

    Of those three, I think Firefox is the only one that could be said to be on par with their commercial counterparts. Inkscape is powerful, but the UI isn't very responsive or intuitive. LibreOffice is slow and buggy whenever I use it.

    Once again Blender is killing it! I find Blender to be one of the best examples of how FLOSS software can be substantially better than their proprietary alternatives.
