Reminds me of that typographer that specialises in historical typefaces and who according to their partner is insufferable when watching period movies as they point out all the fonts on the shops and …

Oh all good points. Sorry to hear of your personal frustrations. Yeah agree, I think learning computing is actual best done in a little community or even club. You know a few parents who care or after…

Agree with having the computer very visible in public space like living room. For us this was an additional reason to get a desktop as the first computer, it’s staying put; no sneaky use out of sight …

I’d agree with deferring any and all social media as long as you can get away with. On the YT front a small thing that helps is an extension that removes all recommendations. So YouTube opens to a bla…

Ah yes sorry the video software was a lazy example but I think you get my point. I did see them find confidence in having such a deep library of free software to poke at and around with. Insert slight…

Very fair. Yes you can’t force them but I still think there is value in attempting to start the Linux way which you very much did. Sounds like you’re doing a great job and tuning in to the needs and i…

Theres a screenshot here:
https://writerdeckos.com/#usage My critique as a designer is that no typographic measure has been added (eg max-width), so it’s very hard to read. I’d sugges…

Lawyers historically are notoriously linked to Microsoft and its formats as a somewhat unintentional industry side standard. Moves like this hearten me as for certain lawyers the formats and standards…

While the mystery of the story has always been attractive the maybe more obvious moral truth within the tale is part of its enduring nature. In short the town screws the piper for his work with the ra…

You missed this bit “.. and then the AI is gonna fuck it up real bad and he won't be able to recognize it because he doesn't understand because AI hallucinates.”

I’ve been told that here in Australia our “Green Power” system where well meaning consumers can pay extra for greener power is similarly broken. A similar index for Australian power would be pretty us…

Some of us live closer to this world than others. On this one US residents are not in front. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/government-rules-out-cha... …

I’ve had similar warnings from multiple very senior devs to never go near mongo. So better explain that choice if you’re wanting adoption. Reliability was the concern.

“Servo is more than a browser engine—it’s a collection of crates used widely across the Rust ecosystem. Maintaining these libraries benefits not just Servo, but the broader web platform.“ Per: https:…

From the article: “Following these budget adjustments, Mr. Arko’s consultancy, which had been receiving approximately $50,000 per year for providing the secondary on-call service, submitted a proposal…

I’m conflicted. Firstly really like this project and its open source and community empowerment ideals. My concern is around how these tools essentially accelerate planetary resource extraction, with f…

Yes it’s a good thing AND we don’t need to be celebrating companies when they finally do the bare minimum . Nobody with any semblance of ethical, just or just plain being a basic good corporate citiz…

It does imply an option here. For the affected ruby gems core team to strike up a sponsorship agreement and launch a forked ruby gems service. For developers who agree that the original team was treat…
comment
Part of the long term supply chain question is that you trust who’s in charge. This corporate takeover of Ruby central and now Ruby gems is deeply concerning for the state of the Ruby ecosystem. Meanw…

It would seem that HSBT being a maintainer owner AND shopify employee faced a significant conflict of interest. Also I don’t think it’s a stretch given the context and clear direction coming from shop…

3 years - knowing nothing I think the chips will likely have a three year useful life. Maybe my intuition is it’s like buying graphics cards for a computer. It’s fast for a couple years.
comment
TLDR; Big Tech companies have become worth trillions based on their AI positions. NVIDIA is saying that its new chips almost make their old chips redundant, raising the awkward question “how long sh…

Oh it very much matters. Folks are questioning the legitimacy of this endeavour. It’d be total hypocracy for them to be freeing JavaScript from Oracle and stating trademarks are bad and then to be mai…
