The article keeps saying that Apple has responded or that Apple has clarified and then linking other Wired articles. Is there an Apple press release somewhere? If so, I'd rather read that. ETA: looks like they directly provide document

Clojure's great for this too, I've never seen a Clojure programmer generating HTML with string templates and that's not because Clojure programmers are more disciplined, it's because Clojure's syntax is flexible&#x2

"It is really hard to lose stuff" It is really hard to lose stuff that you have ever committed. It is really hard to lose stuff as long as you commit early and often. Uncommitted work is pretty easy to lose with 'git reset&#x

If a high schooler needs to be driven to school by their parent, there is a serious street safety/transit problem which should be solved.

I expect to have a newborn in about a year and I expect that newborn to want to spend a lot of time sleeping on me. I could imagine getting some work done this way.

I'm honestly really annoyed that streaming doesn't have a better cover art story. Like, it seems like it should be such an easy thing to arrange it so if I'm listening to an album I can see the album cover in high resolution

I'll add that if you're doing work on managed hardware, you really want IT to be your friends, and this is not a good way to accomplish that. Certainly talk to them too about the impact the device policy is having on you, but don&

This is terrible, terrible advice and it's going to get someone fired. I got fired for similar behavior back in 2016. If your company's device policy is preventing you from doing your work, talk to your manager, talk about the wor

Ok but now you're asking for something weirder and more restrictive than "paying for firefox", right? If I buy a laptop from Lenovo I don't get to say oh I don't want to pay for tablet development, I just want all o

I don't think this is true? I think Mozilla is interested in using Rust for new code where that makes sense, but the vast majority of Firefox as shipped today is still C++

The linked article appears to posit that Gerard Bakardy might be an invention of Teller's? That's a pretty extraordinary claim. Has anything since borne it out?

Minor nit: Clojure at no point gets converted to Java, Clojure gets converted to JVM bytecode. IIRC Clojure occasionally emits bytecode you couldn't produce with Java. (Clojurescript does [transpile/compile, pick your favorite] to

It's a real shame that cities didn't do this aggressively as a condition of licensing the TNCs; they could've demanded detailed speed and location data, could've put systems in place to reliably and consistently fine

Dumb question -- how does this work with SSL? Is Apple putting their private keys on these boxes and assuming the ISPs can't/won't extract them?

This is generally good practice. Put runtime logic in functions, then write macros with just enough syntax sugar to bridge the gap to those functions.

I see an SDL dll file in the repo, and on my mac the build fails with `library not found for -lSDL2` -- is there something special I need to do to get this to build, or is it Windows-only?

...Good? Work is horrible? If a drop in the amount of work that needs to be done is actually a problem then that's a policy failure.

Fast HOV lanes would make buses go faster, and if the HOV lane's expensive, most people would find taking a bus to use it most economical. Honestly I think if you instituted congestion pricing, Uber/Lyft would reinvent themselves
