I like baking. There are machines that can bake bread at an industrial scale that I cannot compete with. There are home kneaders that do much of the work very well. I use one of those more often than not. I still think…
I contend that this is natural evolution. Every GUI app is a browser nowadays, and that leaves a niche for leaner apps to fill. This is what TUI apps seem to be doing. Cross platform GUI is hard unless you elect to…

Doesn't the quoted sentence indicate they did? How would they have known it has been updated since otherwise?
Because I have personally never seen "jazzes" pluralised and I didn't think of it. Maths and math are both used, and the reason I used the plural form is not because I insist on anything but because it is the most…
Actually I think that maths and jazz have something in common in the general public peception that you have to be smart to "get it". Nobody will try to perform a deep intellectual analysis of Lady Gaga's or Ed Sheeran's…

And maybe they will. We have gone from the industry clamouring that what's being done now is not possible and spending millions of lobbying money against it, to such laws spreading like wildfire. The next step is the…

Being obnoxious works well. Obnoxious people get elected to power. Obnoxious companies (and CEOs) generate hype that increases stock prices. Obnoxious youtubers call themselves influencers and make a good living out of…
You could force kids to read books without forcing which books to read. The issue as always is to find a balance between giving kids agency and making sure they do what's right.

You got a bunch of responses already, here is an intuitive reason. In similar triangles all distances are scaled by a factor k, by definition. Then, intuitively the areas are scaled by a factor of k^2, since you obtain…

Except that these employees had been put on temporary unemployment (chômage partiel) [0] and their difficulties have been going on for much longer than 10 years. Ultimately all I am saying is that other structures have…

Of course it doesn't. People are wrong all the time. But even if they are wrong, their argument is still that racism is unethical. You can't correct a misinterpretation by another misinterpretation.
