Honestly the current content is not doing the platform any favors. Who wants another social media option that ranges from the inane to the toxic? Reddit like forums, open source self-hosting, federation, these are all…
I don't think Zuck particularly cares about the next big thing. As the debacle with Apple shows, there are existential risks here and now, not in some sort of FOMO Despite appearances, if the metaverse gambit in the…
He more than did his job. But who is the Doug Engelbart of today? Where are the people that can articulate an actually desirable digital future and rally everybody (including those exclusively focused on pecuniary…
I had not doubt it will be downvoted. Techbros out in force. If its good for my pocket, suck it up, its good for you. But we are having enough of it.
SVB didn't have a chief risk officer. Why have somebody bang theoretically about risks when the business is best placed to assess the real risk /sarcasm

Would be interesting to every once in a while test "Using Linux without a network connection" (as in: install everything from usb/media and check all your workflows)
Well said. While its good to surface the challenges diverse people face and hopefully think about patterns that will solve them in efficient, systemic ways, the availability of Signal at the moment of time is of vital…
people will once again try to defend the indefensible. antediluvian fractional reserve banking as it currently stands is not fit-for-purpose and the price paid by society is high and will keep growin. The other side of…

They'll be recycled soon enough like the Lehmann guy. There is a talent shortage in the industry.
If I interpret the action correctly the Fed just granted all banks a giant put option to place any government securities at par for cash whenever interest rates move against them The only decent thing would be to remove…
Dude, a depositor provides funds. Might get them back with interest, or not. Thats not the definition of a customer, thats the definition of an investor. The fact that it is supposed to be a low risk low return…

Even if its not the "precise" moment, in the scheme of things does perfect timing really matter? Fact is, this shows beautifully that significant new algorithmic capability is becoming commoditised - fast. And thats a…
thanks for the pointer, though from a quickscan this is not really a music theory tool but more like supercollider in rust?
Its a very cool project but as I have seen some other cool efforts as well, I feel that the domain of "open source computer-assisted music theory tools" is quite fragmented and people must reinvent wheels. I wonder if…
