Since NASA demonstrates it is possible to keep servicing software on a 50 years old hardware, traveling into space far far away, I want someone to buy software and original tooling rights for the Nokia 1100. Then prepare a firmware upgrade for the variant with WAP capabilities to replace them with a more modern, very optimized, stack and have it installed on the (millions of) remaining devices. Then deal with carriers convincing them to provide ad-hoc 2G CSD service. Finally setting up internet services for the puny device. One can always dream.

Minimalist vps, download the executable, copy and paste apache config, activate and you are good to go. With certain providers you don't even need to buy a domain.

Personal, small and medium sized projects are 99% of all projects.

You are a big name --> don't need GH for followers and contributors. You are a small potato --> GH gives way more followers than contributors.

CI/CD is not good on GH either.

At this point the problem is discovery. With a federated search engine the actual forge host would not be an issue anymore.

Can we have Scott Forstall back now.

I wonder if delegating LiFi to do downstream and very narrow bands of Wifi for upstream would solve congestion problems. As example if existing smartphones could receive LiFi signal with current front facing sensors.

It has to present text lists, tables and small icons. Makes mobile Safari crawl to a halt. With multi gigahertz, multi core cpus and hardware accelerated js. It is pathetic.

I came to realize spending few minutes every so many years to cast a vote in between the purchase of that great massage gun and groceries shopping, for party members who have been extensively vetted and not by you, doesn’t entitle to any control. Democracy is simply the most successful strategy to make believe into fairness and reduce costs of exercising power. With the capability to excise taxes and leverage them into debt that will always be repaid, one way or another, until the last citizen breathes government is, and always was, the greatest business of all times. Corporations who invest at every level, all the time, to make a buck do buy control. Mostly proportional to their investments into the wheels of government.

WP also has better integration with Microsoft services. Was it a key factor after abandonment of Microsoft Alternative project few years back?

You have clearly never spent anything but holiday time in a underdeveloped county. If ever. You won’t draw similarities otherwise. Completely different standing points.

Small codebase. Must be on GitHub which kills my browser and is used to train Microsoft LLMs? As an Alt-something kind of service they could spend the additional (small) effort and switch to something more suited. Chisel as example is currently hosting development of the entire Arcan framework, IPC system and all UI implementations on top of it. I believe Chisel would be more than capable to properly serve Ygg dev ops as well.

I remember Notes subtly replicating the texture of paper. And text being drawn black, not some shades of gray, with effects to maximize, and not reduce, readability and fidelity. Then Scott Forstall was gone.

I was referring to looking at a display to be timely informed about an event, crossing the threshold out of acceptable air quality, that can occur at any time of the day. If air quality is consistently bad you don’t need a measuring device but a good air filter. If instead it is not then relying on constantly looking at it is a poor solution.

To be honest, if you have to look at a display to be alerted about bad air quality it’s likely either you know about it already or you are needlessly obsessing. Either way it is the reason I built a service to remote push notify myself. Peace if mind.

Thinking about when I had to upgrade my elderly parents from ADSL to FTTC, because of old apparatuses being scheduled for decommissioning, often wondering why regulators went down this path. Forcing CPEs replacement when, especially for tens of millions of elderly users, enabling ADSL2+ Annex M would have been sufficient. Most FTTC apparatuses are backward compatible with ADSL2+ and only transmission power auto backdown is necessary. To prevent degradation of neighboring VDSL signals.

My parents have now 150/30 Mbps. Totally unaware of it.

With battery powered scooters, battery powered mopeds, battery powered quadricycles, battery powered cars and battery powered buses zipping around I believe big oil and power corporations keep up investing into the hydrogen complex system just as an additional avenue to sustaining their representatives in politics. Who can contribute offsetting all of those investments by keeping up the flood of public subsidies to gas, diesel and all other revenue streams of their sponsors.

Indeed. Guaranteed capacity for FTTH in the EU is often 0.1% or so of peak. Consistent with your answer.

I am not sure maximizing throughput to gigabit and beyond is materials efficient though. Fig 33 shows energy efficiency is squarely on the FTTH side anyway: https://europacable.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Prysmian-s...

A software update completing download in an hour instead of one minute often doesn’t lead to any practical difference. The same number of users is being served but the latter requiring gigabit class CPEs.

Alas it does offer some up selling opportunities. As promoting Cat 6 or even 7 cables to home users.
