...and always will be.

If they looked from a planet of one of those stars towards our sun, would they find any signs of technology? I highly doubt that.

Yeah, one week should be plenty of time to recover from burnout









NOT!

Nothing to see here.

Minecraft is much more interesting than Fortnite. My eleven year old son met with a friend a few days ago to build a mob factory, and they spent about four hours discussing, building and refining that thing. At the end of the day they proudly presented an almost fully automatic factory with a really clever design. For a father those are about the greatest moments in life.

I sent my kids to bed fifteen minutes ago, it wasn't even a problem, although they intended to watch the live event. The younger already had shut down Fortenite because he got bored and started playing Minecraft. BTW, did you know that Minecraft again became more popular than Fortnie just a few months ago? Here is the Google trends comparison: https://trends.google.com/tren...

No dude, you are playing field hockey wrong if you are carrying that hockey stick between your legs all the time.

with that stick between their legs may be one of the saddest sights of all time.

Dude, the effect on climate change will not be "big", so no need to use "as well".

There are still plenty of people who do not eat as much beef as they would like to, therefore the market will find other customers that they will not eat. The effect on climate change will be exactly zero.

On the other hand, eating red meat increases cancer risk, so the students may benefit this way.

I believe in nothing, Mr Lebowski.

What exactly does it mean that something has a certain monetary impact? What will happen to this money? Will it be moved from the taxpayer to some evil corporations? Will it disappear from our bank accounts? Will the money be devaluated? Does it mean there is a business opportunity? Is it even bad? Serious questions.

...look at the Gotthard base tunnel, made by not so boring people who really know how to build tunnels. Trains can go 200km/h in that tunnel btw.. Price was roughly 200 million US$ per mile (not 1 billion as Musk claimed).

I had good and bad experiences. Once a Mozilla developer got out of his way to make sure that a bugfix would make it into the next release. That was absolutely outstanding.. At another occasion some dickhead told me that my test case was stupid, so he saw no reason to fix the bug. Luckily another developer stepped in and raised the priority of the bug.

Have you ever written a bug report for any browsers? There are currently two types of development communities:

1. Chrome and Firefox: You write a bug report and someone will take a look. There will probably be a short discussion and your bug may get fixed or there is a reason why it won't be fixed. I wrote a but report last week for Chrome and the bug got fixed within two days. The current Chrome Canary build already contains the bugfix. Filing bug reports for these browsers is fun, because the development community works.

2. Edge and Safari: You write a bug report and nobody gives a sh&t. I wrote a bunch of bug reports for WebKit and the feedback was exactly zero. Nothing. Not even a confirmation that the bug is valid (or invalid). And of course the bugs are still in there and they are getting more and more, because the development community is broken.

So no, Edge and Safari are the new Internet Explorer, they suck and they will continue to suck. Chrome is almost years ahead, and the distance will grow. Mozilla has the right attitude and is trying hard to catch up with Chrome. I hope they will succeed, because otherwise we will be left only with Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi, which are all based on Chromium.
