You realize China is having its own demographic crash, yeah? And India's birth rate is at or below replacement? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_India Bluntly, whether you meant to or not, this comment is…
So, to be clear, I spent my time reverse engineering software rather than the hardware itself. That said, my observation is that a lot of hardware reverse engineering is software reverse engineering since the software…

Yup, very true.
Shame the dream of multicast died...
ffs, they're OAuth providers. It's not like they're passing the video streams over to Google and Facebook so they can mine them for PII. All they'll learn is that a user with an identity on their platform is using…
No, this is like a restaurant giving you free food, and then when they change the recipe, you saying "WTF, you changed the food and now it's too salty, I hate it. Yeah, I could cook my own meal, but screw that, I demand…

Just because you define "decentralized" as strictly "peer-to-peer" doesn't mean everyone does. Wikipedia literally uses the word "decentralized" to describe the Fediverse, which would seem to violate your personal…
Just popping in to say: me too! I feel like there needs to be a community or forum for people like us. I know at least one other person in my circle doing the same. Seems to be rare but more common than I realized...
Not worth it. A temperature controllable kettle that shuts itself off and can keep water warm is both incredibly convenient and far more safe.
It's Electron-based, yes. Anyone using it on Wayland with fractional scaling will know that...
No you don't. A ban forces industries to create alternatives. Otherwise they won't bother. You just schedule a phased elimination over time so those alternatives can get developed. That's precisely how the Montreal…

Ah but that's a very different thing. You're treating tech as a hobby and engaging with it accordingly. This piece literally started with: > My software developer colleagues often ask me where I do get all the time for…
Guess again. I'm old enough to realize that tying your self-worth to objectified life goals and measurable achievements is a fool's errand sold to us by a self-help industrial complex designed to make us feel as bad as…

Another commenter also made a very good point: you've gotta let off the gas a bit. If everyone is going flat out, the surrounding pressures will cause people to prioritize being responsive to those pressures. But that…
If you think that's a good idea, you don't understand why tools like awk/perl/sed/etc exist and are popular. They are, by design, optimized toward specific kinds of use cases. In fact, their dynamically typed nature is…
Just gonna say: my god I hate productivity hacking culture. No, I am not going to optimize in additional professional learning in my off hours. I have a life. And I'm allowed to have idle time where I spend it just…
Totally agreed. This was my policy with my staff. I straight up told them they can and should take a couple hours a week (tried to start small to make it achievable) on personal development, whether that's reading…
