You do whatever you want and then ban anything and anybody publishing anti-Apple headlines in your platforms. Win win!

I can do a quick google and find so many journalists in twitter saying the story is debunked! What do you want twitter to do in the face of such overwhelming evidence coming from twitter?

Every native app can be hacked, or sold, to a malicious actor that will then make your phone theirs. Reduce the attack surface as much as you can!

A bit too harsh? Surely they could be granted a second chance by sending them to be educated again.

Exactly this. Maybe after Neuralink we'll get there. Maybe, because there's still a human on one end who doesn't know what they really want or need.

Any browser extension can at any time be hacked by, or sold to, malicious actors that will make your computer theirs. If you wouldn't run a random executable from the internet to see "times around the world" don't get an

The probem is that here on planet Earth, governments are made out of humans. You may not believe it, but when you give a human the power to censor what would make them lose power ("fixing the issue" is how they describe it), it ha

Maybe in the nice countries taxes are high because it's possible for them to be high, what with it being a nice country full of nice rich people that accept to be taxed. Maybe in not-so-nice poor countries (which again means the peop

If they handle coronaviruses in the provincial administrative office, then yes. Do they?

It's not "a lot like a sales process". It is a sales process.

by MrPatan 6y ago
Don't take it personally. People are busy and have their own problems. Sales is a numbers game, just assume you didn't close it and move on.

I really like CSS and find it relatively straightforward. Now, I think what helps me is that I've had 20 years to learn it as changes appeared. If I had to learn it all in one go now, how confused would I be? Very? Lots? It could be t

This is great. The other day I was tempted to go to reddit, for the first time in months, to check what was going on on a subreddit and was hit with that. So I went away and my life is better for that. Thanks, reddit!

Yeah! Why is matematical notation full of one-letter variables? Cool when paper and ink is expensive and you're trying to send your proof to the other mathematician, in a letter in the mail, in the 16th century, but now? Why?!
557.
by MrPatan 6y ago
You are right in everything you say, and I'm just replying to your comment because it seems like a good place to say my piece: Why do we (devs) know that one-letter variables are bad, but still don't know that one-letter generic t

The thing is, you are not wrong. It is fake. It's an illusion! And very true, covering the arrow does nothing to prevent the illusion.

You're not missing anything. Maybe just the last step of lowering your opinion of the journal.

I can't rememeber where I read it but the right frame of mind is to treat the user as if they're very smart, but also very busy, and they don't have time to deal with your software's nonsense.

>Unit tests would have caught this, if you wrote them. If I hadn't considered string-number-keys in my code, I would also have forgotten about them in my unit tests. Maybe you're different.

BMW has sold many cars using many of these ads over many decades. I take that as evidence that the ads work and the ad makers haven't "misread the target audience".

That's the job. A business software developer's job is to help the people you described overcome those problems. Some have more money than others. Some are smarter than others. Some are better people than others. But ultimately

That's it, you nailed it. What's more likely, a population that gets all infected all at the same time, or one person infected being careless with samples? Then there's more: given how many tests of similar populations are ge

by MrPatan 7y ago
Exactly! What are the chances of that, compared to a gross error in the testing, like someone processing the samples was infected and not very careful?
