Federation can only make security worse and I do not want it. You can have something else.

This take keeps coming up and I do not get it. Kotlin has ergonomics that Java cannot match without breaking changes that are anathema to the JCP, and Java has no answer at all for multiplatform. I have lots of respect for Java but I still

Doesn't ring as true as you appear to be "weeping" for simplicity here. Others must be, as well, as this plea is an appeal to the Linux project's decision to simplify by deprecating Itanium support.

DVD video supports different resolutions, but so far as I know, the vast majority of them were standard def, 480p in the American market.

Native speakers are of course also very likely to pluralize nouns in the regular way when they don't know the irregular form. Usually, only very common nouns can sustain irregular pluralization. Perhaps dice carries on at all because i

It's only an orthographic convention. English and all other languages can make compound nouns of arbitrary length, and the parts can but don't have to be nouns. In fact, there don't have to be any nouns in a compound noun! E.

This is a really odd take on the function of humor. Characterizing all jokes in this way is a mistake. Creating original jokes is very deliberate and requires lateral thinking, familiarity with the topic, and awareness of your audience. It&

A person who has all the same values as yourself and navigates them in the same ways you do is a figurative unicorn. And anyway, one of my values is affording grace for people who I see as flawed in some way. I'm certainly quite flawed

That's a rather steep premium in my opinion and you'll also be penalized when you try to sell it, because small quantities, individual appraisal, and additional cost to the buyer if its fate is to be melted down and refined. In ex

Um... what? That would be terribly unfortunate for FOSS but thankfully it's not true.

You've raised a question and assumed what the answer is. Has society been affected by accessible porn? If so, to what degree? Of the ways it was affected, which were positive and which were negative? On the whole, is it harmful? They&#

My impression is that a fiber installation will have legs and take you a few decades. Of course, we've been wrong many times before. But in any case, fiber remains impractical, expensive, and power-hungry.

Fox News goes well beyond having a lean, so far that they find themselves in legal hot water. And that's only when the pontificating on nonsense is so egregious that it's legally actionable...

Calling stuff biased is becoming a hell of a thought-stopper. That you say elsewhere, > Yeah, everything is relative, truth doesn't exist, yadda-yadda. strikes me as downright ironic. The routine and wholesale dismissal of sources b

Light sensitivity of modern digital sensors is far superior to any film, especially for the quality delivered. Like, really far. You won't be able to get every characteristic of that lens, such as the absurdly shallow depth of field, b

Different business units working on separate products to be released at a launch event that was no doubt scheduled before either was done. Normal and a delay for one model doesn't strike me as a strong reason to scrub the announcement

I don't really get this perspective. Making it appear that things "just work" is not even showing users the option to try an unvalidated or nonfunctional combination of hardware and software. Staggered releases across models

To wit, the internet has obviated the need for eclectic catalogs of knowledge, ideas, and products like this one. They were limited answers to the problem of discovery, and the internet is an _unlimited_ answer. Almanacs are gone. Phonebook

Sure, but that's a different justification rooted in English conventions (and even then, not perfectly reliable) rather than Latin ones. It would be as true for Harry Potter, no appeal to a foreign grammar needed.

I'm amused at the brash confidence that the laws of the language the word was borrowed from override the laws of the language it was borrowed into. Seems to me the grammar police are overstepping their jurisdiction and we're going

I wonder if this would have held up in the US if it had been disputed. Neither trademark nor copyright is allowed to be functional and Nintendo effectively made their mark a functional requirement for a disk to fit.

The courts are our usual tool in sussing out this kind of nuance. It's kind of their raison d'être. We haven't gotten totally lost in the weeds yet with, say, automobiles. This "hybrid part" labeling because we don&

Browser vendors should just splash users with one of those click-through security warnings. Make it bright yellow. I'd be very entertained by drama from owners of those domains, but in my opinion, such a thing would be completely justi
