By curiosity, what are you trying to say ?

Well, I do believe twitter makes people less intelligent^* which lead to Americans electing Trump (twice even), which eventually impacts me somewhere down the line.

^* Because the focus on short sentence and the engagement algorithms favours highly polarised angry one liners that trigger primal emotion and is a successful assassination of any intelligent discourse.

And I say that having seen the progressive brain rot of my parents after they retired and started doomscrolling on twitter and being bombarded by more and more extreme messages, until it became a constant stream that can be summarised roughly by “brown people = bad”.

Grab works great. I remember when they killed Uber in the region. They had the option for cash payment and cash on delivery when Uber was trying to apply it’s 1st world western logic of “everyone has a credit card” and failed because that was just plain wrong.

But to compare, how many loli porn game ? Someone ask Valve to release the numbers…

I’ll give you that as I honestly don’t care much about games so I don’t know much. I’ve read somewhere that apple has a game porting toolkit similar to proton and whisky was good enough the one time I wanted to launch a windows one but I don’t know if it’s any good.

I discovered “time” and “energy” and I couldn’t mix them together… Massive disappointment. How am I supposed to discover entropy uh?

Yup, that’s why I got a Mac. It works perfectly out of the box, no rugged edges apps, no drivers/hw concerns, excellent battery time. Best UNIX laptop for the time being.

I give you as main flaws the cost and the irreparability of the hardware and maybe missing out on a few games but that is probably a tie with Linux, since it runs the same emulators/transcoder if needed.

Get a royal with cheese instead.

No, don’t recommend me Linux

Ok, ok… Get a mac 🤣

We shit on it because you need a crack to make it work properly in the first place.

I don’t use linux for my desktop either though because my computer is a tool, not a hobby.

He’s just being honest about US foreign policy for the last 80 years.

Have a 20 year mortgage with that bank so no.

It’s either root or having access to my bank accounts. 🙄

At which point you will be taken to a dark room downstairs and 3 cops will testify they tried very hard to stop you from violently and repetitively throwing your head at their baton in a menacing manner which made them fear for their life.

France reporting, same price and that’s because I’m using the more expensive provider that is the most reliable in my rural area.

Our politicians are completely useless though.

The only problem I had with my ZigBee network was pairing the lightbulb but that was because the UX to set the bulb in pairing mode required to switch them on and off 5 1/2 time with a too precise timing for a normal human.

Mostly an issue with the bulb really.

That won’t prevent typo squatting. This article is a out people wanting to add a dependency to “famousLib” and instead typing “famusLib”.

What probably help more in Go is the lack of a central repo so you actually need to “go get github.com/whoever…” so typo squatting is a bit be a bit more complicated.

On the other hand it will be an easy fix in NPM by simply adding a check to libraries names and reject names that are too similar since it’s centralized.

First, we actually don’t really need that research, indoor growing is a very well known activities that is already performed in many places. There are large indoor farms in northern Europe (cold), in the middle east (hot). Greenhouse, tunnels, aren’t exactly new.

Second, it’s not what those companies were doing, they were trying to create farming factories that are fully automated, their goals was to remove humans, not to find ways to fight climate change.

I never understood the economics of those Agtech.

The margins on vegetables are shit.

Consumers won’t care that each of your potatoes had it’s own email addresse, a twitter account and was monitored by an AI.

Farmers are not just redneck assholes who needed some MIT grad to tell them how to increase yield, there’s already a huge agro industry and research and we’ve reached a point where the yield of carrots and others is pretty much already maximised. Assuming they are genius and get a 1% yield improvement that would be enormous.

A farm hand cost $25k a year, and engineer cost $150k and you haven’t priced in the tech and the building…

So you basically get a business where the cost of operation is about 20 time higher (and that’s conservative) than a guy with a plot of land and a tractor for sensibly the same yield (if not worse) and zero product differentiation in the market.

Well, I guess they just figured out the economics…

McKinsey, Deloitte & co will provide that service.
