Yes, this was always where things were going to end up. It was completely predictable. All those foreign companies with local partnerships are going to be very sad. Thanks for the money and education, yankees, go home now. And they have cri

I'm skeptical about third-party labelers. How do you prevent that from being abused?

It’s very Los Angeles nihilist in tone. If that doesn’t make you happy, maybe skip it.

I don't think you should reevaluate it in that context. Golden age science fiction assumed what we seem to be now calling AGI and still don't know how to create. What we're now calling artificial intelligence (thanks to OpenA

Words are just words, though. I have a monopoly on what ice cream I get to put in my freezer, so what? The legislation really isn't clear enough about this -- if it were, we wouldn't be having this discussion -- and to the extent

Debated videos and DM? Mastodon has those features; if you're not doing them at all you may want to reconsider.

The person you're replying to was being sarcastic. But -- to be clear -- this was clearly a problem with the defect tracking process, not like individual QC contributors.

Yes, with LG, you can apparently still avoid connecting it with recent models, which gives you have effectively a dumb monitor with (for OLED) a glorious picture. Can’t vouch for other makes.

This is a worry, but (a) so far it’s still in the future (b) 5G coverage is not complete enough in residential areas, at least in America. Many houses have extremely poor cell service.

do you want to fix the problem or just complain about it? mail the executives directly if you want the former. The latter is what the forum is for.

Your point is addressed elsewhere in the document; cherry-picking individual sentences from complex legal documents isn’t a great idea.

Which is not to say SF shouldn’t build, but Austin is not a useful model.

Austin has infinite land and equally infinite highways/pavement/traffic.

You’re not old enough (or came late to the Mac). Those of us who used it were on Macs 20 - 30 years ago. Gen X Mac users will be the biggest StuffIt (or Compact Pro) cohort.

GPL is more restricted than MIT, not less. I would never make significant contributions to a GPL project.

He absolutely can and will destroy the country and what it has stood for. He's already completely corrupted one of the only two viable political parties. They no longer believe in democracy. If Trump or one his sycophants gains office

Any scenario where anyone throws a nuke means the __world__ will be blown to pieces. That's a different scale of issue.

It’s not, though. There is a perfectly viable market of seeds and such for non-biolumenescent plants. You can, in fact, plant watermelon seeds and use the seeds in the resulting watermelon to plant more watermelon plants. Crazy.

I have a full-size Keychron with Cherry Browns and it is glorious. The Mac/Win switch means I don’t have to reflash the firmware to swap between Mac and PC usage.

I can't wait for one of the deranged billionaires on Xitter to try instituting this somewhere. Egon Musk, this would wonderful for Tesla's productivity! And people of color and women probably hate it!

Unless you've actually conducted a survey, you don't know how many people feel like you do. I get that you hate it, but I personally haven't noticed the notch in day to day use ever -- I've been using an M1 in light mode

Ruby is really nice in this regard, in fact — you’re not limited to backticks; you can use any quote delimiters you want.

Bingo. I would argue Ruby has the quality of being a great language the next person can understand, but I think Rails has prejudiced people.

Listen to yourself. ‘It’s OK to mke the life of someone who’s already suffering worse just to laugh at him. It’s his fault.’

I feel the need to note that Apple’s attitude to compatibility was always more nuanced than Joel portrays it in this post: they did actually try to maintain compatibility in classic Mac OS. They weren’t quite as obsessive about it as Micros

It’s not ‘speech’. It’s anti-science climate denialism fed by a network of right-wing ratfuckers (political technical jargon) going back 60 years now. It’s a literal conspiracy to defraud the public.

I would completely seriously buy that hypothetical POWER SBC immediately.

Oversimplified positivity doesn't capture their perverse intentions. A more nuanced view of both negatives and positives is advisable.

Do you mean Betamax timeshifting? Sony didn't own a movie studio at that point. The entire reason they bought one was to prevent that sort of issue from ever happening again. Tail ended up wagging the dog, though.
