Because you could only use it if you paid for it. If they had released it for free, as in beer, lots of people would have made wi does apps with it.

Absolutely yes. When I’m looking for jobs, or recruiters come looking for me, well over 90% of the opportunities I have to turn away right from the start because I’m morally opposed to the company. Just a small sample of the thing I’m moral

If you are looking for web sites that look fancy like apple.com https://godly.website/ But people here, and myself, are going to tell you that those are not well designed sites. Well designed sites are mostly text, good typ

There is still a possible, but very difficult and improbable, way out of this. The appropriate legislature can change contract law. This may be difficult if it’s federal law that needs changing, but it’s still possible. If necessary, new ju

That depends. If you're willing to put up with bureaucracy, lower compensation, and all sorts of other hassles, you can go into public service or work for a non-profit of some kind that does meaningful work. My personal strategy is to

Do not use the Smart TV, Roku, Chromecast, Fire stick, cable box, or any other nonsense. Get a real computer, aka an HTPC (home theater PC). If gaming interests you, get a Windows PC, otherwise Mac is fine. Connect it to the TV with an HDMI

We don’t need all of what Twitter did, but we need some of it. The biggest thing Twitter did that nothing else could match was getting extremely specific or local news quickly. Is some web service down? Twitter is faster for info than both

You say you haven't found a way to articulate it. You should articulate it exactly the way you do in this comment. You are not providing licensed medical services. Just come out and say it, since it's true. Yes, saying that will c

Devcontainers have saved me so much time setting up new dev environments. I highly recommend.

You still need zoning otherwise people are going to build a poison-spewing factory right next to your house. Eliminating zoning entirely is reactionary and going too far. What we do need is to just pull zoning back. Really it’s just a few c

I agree with the fundamental principle that "true" HATEOAS is desirable, and that HTML provides it while JSON doesn't. That said, I don't quite agree with the criticism of out-of-band information. Is the HTML spec not ou

The fridge from 70 years ago was an extreme luxury item. Most people could not afford one. Nowadays we have refrigeration so cheap and accessible to all. If you want a fair comparison, go spend $20k+ on big fancy commercial refrigerator. I

I don’t actually use PyPY, but I’m very aware of it. My understanding is that the only reason to use PyPy instead of the default Python is for performance gains. For the vast majority of projects I work on, the performance of our code on th

I only use Linux from the CLI these days. Usually in containers and WSL. So any kind of Debian or Ubuntu is fine.

Your mistake is caring. Are you being rewarded for working much harder than your colleagues? Are they being punished for working hardly at all? Why are you working hard for the benefit of the company's bottom line? It's a big comp

Social networks wouldn't have any users if they didn't solve a problem and/or fulfill a need that people have. What problem is it that they solve? IMO they solve exactly two problems. 1) People with no technical skills or kno

Because no matter what country you are in, and what the laws are, or what the culture is, there are better more important uses of state resources. No matter how far left or right someone is on the political spectrum this is not a popular id

Been doing web dev, mostly backend/Python, for almost 20 years. 180k Fully remote 32 hours a week I probably could be making more money, but I value other things more, like working only 4 days a week fully remotely.

Me and my friend think that some companies are doing this as a way to lay people off without laying people off. If that's the case, it's a severe miscalculation as the employees most likely to leave are in theory, the best ones. T

Making more shows costs more money. More shows don't increase revenues when you have a subscription model. Their ideal model is to produce the bare minimum amount of content that keeps people from unsubscribing.

John Carmack is someone who has, for the most part, had control of what he was working on. During his work hours, he is working on what he wants to work on. Yes, in that scenario, the right number of hours to maximize productivity and balan

If Google search goes away I can at least use Bing or DuckDuckGo or something. I could also get really far just by searching other sites directly. Also, I know this isn't true for most people, but there are a handful of Subreddits that

Strongly seconding this answer. I did the opposite in my career. I did not change jobs often enough. One job I had for a very long time. The growth staying in place was not very much. I knew changing jobs would get me more money, but I didn
