There are definitely a few things it does that are weird, and this article hits on a few of them. But, I'll call special attention to the whole "adaptive padding thing" as a broader signal for something I feel that SwiftUI do

UBI is often combined with the idea that increases in automation hurt job growth, especially low income ones. But, of course, this bill isn't funded through tax increases on businesses or the wealthy. Its funded through a tax increase

I tend to believe that the only path forward is for these "global platforms" to become more sharded, allowing smaller, more focused communities to thrive and self-moderate. Platforms like Reddit, Discord, etc have "tiers&quot

Almost all of these really stretch the definition of a "bug". Functionality that is intentional, but displeasing to you, is not a bug. Missing features are not a bug.

Realistically; a typical hyperscale cloud provider has tens/hundreds of millions of dollars invested into a specific CPU platform. It makes very little sense to just throw it out chasing some idealism like "simplicity"; the w

There are tens of millions of people running Catalina. Most of us aren't complaining, because it works fine.

This is very similar to the pattern the AWS SDK uses. In reality, its a small benefit to readability. You gain parameter names, which is very nice, but you end up with huge function call lines. describeTableOutput, err := dynamodbSvc.

Microsoft's willingness to buy it is, in my opinion, irrelevant in this discussion. If everything this "security team" from the article has said is true, this domain is Persona Non Grata. Its an armed nuclear warhead. There i

It's incredibly easy to find someone at a company like Microsoft who would know who the person is to make a decision like this. For example; I'd start on Linkedin or Twitter, searching for someone with a title that contains "

If your livelihood is based on squatting domains you bought in 1992, you won't find me crying tears of sorrow for your loss when you only make a couple million dollars instead of whatever number you think you're owed for adding

Yes. Its a combination of several things, and I stress "extreme circumstances"; this qualifies. The domain clearly would have a broad security impact if it fell into the wrong hands. It is generic. It is being squatted, rather tha

I can't believe this situation. This is a guy who, by his own admission, wants it to go to Microsoft, but is also holding an auction. He could just quote Microsoft $2M and be done with this whole thing. Instead, he and this "secur

Hype is truly a double-edged sword, and its surprising to me that companies are so cavalier about it, especially in the gaming industry where the consumers are so brutal and unforgiving. Stadia is an amazing technology... and a fine product

Viruses really aren't an issue if you're (1) keeping your software up to date, and (2) aren't an idiot while browsing the internet. Modern browsers are very secure. Modern Windows is also very secure. I'd expect that ARM

I'm considering a Surface Pro X for this purpose. Better aspect ratio, better first-party thin keyboard, bundled LTE, fair price relative to the iPad Pro, better developer tool support (though, its still ARM Windows so...) My dream is

While having a very long, complete answer is interesting, there's a very simple tl;dr that answers the question just as well. You only have N bandwidth available to the house. Cable companies have a tradition in providing content; cont

Ok, let's forget about the deception part. Interviews are horrible. They round-down to being useless at actually determining whether someone will be good at a job. I think we all mostly agree with this, at least to a degree. To be clea

Cloud gaming may help this, but realistically: the fact that you notice updates (on fast internet) is really a tech problem that even local-rendering traditional consoles can solve. Background updating should be a thing. It is available on

Same story with their scooters IMO. I would rather walk a block or two and find a Bird than settle for a Lime. On at least one occassion my options were Grab a Lime or walk 10 blocks; I walked. Though, I feel like the reasoning is opposite

I would find an estimate like "AirPods make more money than Spotify" interesting; its a sort-of poetic "the hardware you use to listen to the music is worth more than the music itself", at least in a limited scope (of co

Any high-end dealership I've been to will give loaner cars during any service. The Audi dealership near me will usually give you one of their A4's if its scheduled enough in advance, and for more "emergency" service if t

I very much disagree with this position. Privacy is not a super-set of Open Source. They're two different things; somewhat correlated, but only insomuch as the auditability and self-correction of any claims to privacy may be. Auditabil

Well, you'll have a two-hundred line IAM policy and a half-dozen API calls encoded into a script, but once you have that script its just one step! All you do is run the script!
