Why didn't the author consider Kotlin Multiplatform in the conclusion?

It seems to be the most accurate choice to answer the described needs while solving the lack of native dependency that QT is apparently facing.

This is just naturally solved by capitalism, no magic.

When electricity on the grid is cheaper, all intensive applications can run at that time. Just make the difference of price worth the pause of the industry when electricity is scarce.

Realm Sync, Mongo + Kotlin MP will cover basically all platforms (server, web, mobile, desktop)... at a cost. Actually interested by alternatives. Will this be part of your article?

Blackberry simply lost the appeal/marketing.

Yes the Storm was horrible and the Torch was just ok.

But Blackberry 10 didn't come that late. At release time it was superior to the current iPhone and Android in many points. Usability, dynamic permissions, the Hub, animations were so fluids and responsives, virtual keyboard, advanced dev toolkit...

It was one single thing that killed it: Customers were told Blackberry is old and un-cool. So they think.

It feels like Play Services is for Google to own valuable features privately over an open source OS.

Not about version support.

This medieval example sounds like an easy shortcut though.

At part of Europe, roads were always maintened. Maybe with more local that country-wide focus sometimes. The feudalism may not caused by road system efficiency. Good roads on a empire splitted by succession are still no match to fast manoeuvrable drakkar raiders.

Local power and defence is needed... leading to another important parameter. Size of empires is proportional to time of travel and relative defensive strength of the remote area.

I guess the distance is also proportional to the strenght of the remote part and the brutality of a vengeance from the capital.

England, Fance, Spain, Portugal keeping colonies for a while until they technologically matched and that enlightened europe would be less tolerant of a bloody revenge.

Russia, China still controlling their colonies because there is no local comparable strenght in those moutain/toundra/desert parts.

From a strategic perspective, obsolescent mines make total sense. I wonder why it is not the norm.

Country usually don't wage war just to destroy (Seeing Ukraine, not so sure anymore). But to own and use the land. This allow to keep the territory futureproof. While for the defender it's even more logic.

Long live mines are only useful around long term places: military base, korean border, ...

Since the fiction predate the tech, what if the fiction simply inspired the tech. Making it less prescient but still valuable.

The most simple one, but so useful that time:

This car cheap autoradio has no random nor memory. Everytime the engine start, the music restart from the beginning.

Just coded at a stop a little python script for Nokia to randomize the name of the music files of the usb stick.

Same.

Take notes. Make sure you read them again a week later and reorganize them into smaller meaningful notes.

Those "Cards" can be re-read very quickly. And the simple notion of the few words a month later will replay and refresh the full context in your brain.

Works well if you don't have the time nor occasion to apply it
