Thinking of exploring and experimenting with some of the local-first hyped technologies.

They’re probably a long way from actually delivering on their promise, but I’m a fan of those promises.

Have a good bit of experience with offline-first solutions which many SMBs kinda need and they’re typically underserved.

Mid 40s consultant here and just decided not to extend my contract as tech lead with current customer for another year.

Looking into meandering for a bit and regaining passion. Hopefully something small but sellable sprouts from that.

Looking forward to making my own decisions based on gut and not being stuck in the swamp of big company indecision.

I think there's a lot more grey here than you're making out.

I'm all for minimising taxes within the legal framework, but that does not mean I agree with all the legal details.

In this particular case, there is something wrong with how large multinationals are able to avoid paying any taxes at all, it's a major problem in my country, Belgium, as well.

I don't agree with your last statement that people would rather want everyone else to be equally highly taxed than lower taxes overall.

I think people just want their tax legislation to be _fair_, and while that is definitely a fungible concept, these large multinationals are crossing the line for the majority of people.

I think it's far fetched to believe this is because people supposedly work there more.

It's probably got more to do with automakers chasing software engineers as cars start to become more like computers.

Automakers are definitely looking at Tesla and trying to emulate some things.

I'm using both Apple TestFlight and the original TestFlight, and the original is just such a smoother experience, even with having to add UDID's to provisioning profiles.

Things that are annoying about Apple TestFlight compared to the original:

- itunesconnect, while better than before, pales in comparison to the simplicity of testflightapp

- builds submitted to Apple "take a while" before they're available, testflightapp is instant once you've uploaded.

- managing users in groups seems to be absent

The article doesn't claim 0 people know what's in Coke. It claims 0 people know how to make a can of Coke, from start to finish, i.e. from mining your own raw materials to make aluminium to extracting the cocaine from the coca leaves to a finished can that can be put on a store shelve.

Describing ant colonies as entities with a personality instantly reminded me of the dialogues between the anteater and the ant hill in Godel Escher Bach.

In it, Hofstadter likens an ant colony to the human brain, and ants to neurons in an attempt to explain how intelligence appears to be an emergent quality.

I didn't downvote, but your comment is not pertinent.

The post to which I replied ironically stated that this is "a great victory for science", to which I responded that these people are not really participating in science (but rather playing politics).

Your comment on banning Songs of Praise seems to imply that I'd like all non-scientific TV to be curbed or banned, which is a straw man argument.
