I don't generally think it's a good idea to enforce that every road user have to follow rules that were designed for cars. Someone on a bike (or skates or...) is slower and has better use of their hearing and is less deadly to oth

It sounds like you're assessing his ideas based on whether they harmonize with your current ideology, ergo thinking about it in terms of "favorability" like how you might vote for a politician. This is not the right way to re

Since it was just an example, I don't think refuting this particular item will nullify the opinion. The idea, I think, is that there are always more pieces in a state of deprecation and replacement at any given time in Linux land than

I don't use them this way. I use them to emote or in a way that's almost like punctuation. If I replace words, I'm probably being obnoxious on purpose.

The character designs will be active trademarks, so a new Winnie the Pooh without Disney would have to look quite different.

I think you're onto something at the end there! The commenter was almost certainly talking about subjectively "nicer" photos that have been made more interesting by the use of flawed lenses. And this isn't an uncommon id

Back in the day, hobbyists looking for a cine look would hook up a kind of adapter to use SLR or cine lenses with a consumer camcorder. Of course the camcorders had tiny sensors behind fixed lenses, so what was happening was the adapter had

I avoid eating before dinner time, say five o'clock in the afternoon. I try not to keep snackable foods in stock. I kind of gave up on this when the pandemic began and my weight went out of control. Then, I would have said peanut butte

OP may be wrong or may not be. It is certainly not a rule that all executives are as you describe and there is no shortage of anecdotes to oppose yours.

No argument that they have the experience and knowledge within their organizations. I think OP was expressing doubt that "execs" will be informed enough to deliver actionable insights.

My point was, a lot of UI followed or was heavily inspired by whatever Apple was doing even then. These days, there's more Google in the mix. Before pill buttons, they were gray beveled rounded rectangles, be it native or web, on every

Pill-shaped buttons were part of the Aqua theme in the original release of OS X. For a long time after that, UIs aped Aqua with pinstripes and jelly-shaded pills and while the pinstripes and jelly have gone, I think the pills are here to st

I feel like the only other plausible color that could have been chosen is green, and even that seems too opinionated. Reasons being mostly associations (red, orange, yellow meaning danger or stop, and green meaning go) and legibility on whi

I hear your point but the quantity of files produced by initializing a new rails project is very large, larger than an equivalent node project with server and framework. These aren't transient build artifacts either, they will live in

I think people tend to use "monopoly" as a catch-all for anticompetitive practices. Apple is not a monopoly except in contrived ways, but they can still be behaving in an anticompetitive way and some of those behaviors may violate

It will probably happen but if that were enough to make for a bad idea, there wouldn't be any good ones.

_Just_ as vital? If you had to choose between closing a hospital or a McDonald's, you would choose at random? I hear what you are saying. Gas stations are vital transitively from the vital jobs that require gas, such as ambulance servi

I didn't say that package managers are perfect. I think they are a lot better. They have downsides related to centralized control and contradictory interests, but I believe the good outweighs the bad and you can usually install softwar

The sheer number of original sources and secondhand sources that each need to be individually vetted clearly requires a lot more work and skill than using a well-curated package manager. And a lot of vendors that should have been trustworth

It's not tortured, it's strictly the only supported and legal way of running it. Anything else is software piracy. If that is the criteria for calling software free, then it's not a useful label. Every legal macOS installatio

Characterizing macOS as something Apple intends to distribute as free is mostly false. They intend to charge for it with the purchase of a Mac. Microsoft also distributes Windows "for free" on their website and if you care not at

I'm not being taken for a ride where we pretend that nothing was intended nor implied by calling it a narcotic.

See above indeed.

by NoSorryCannot 5y ago
It would be a tautological argument for its addition to the list of controlled substances. Like so, "It's a narcotic because it's a controlled substance and it's a controlled substance because it's a narcotic."

by NoSorryCannot 5y ago
I would argue that nicotine is not a controlled substance, so it doesn't fall under this definition anyway. But, that said, it is totally valid to argue that a definition is wrong, misleading, or incomplete. Has nothing to do with whet

by NoSorryCannot 5y ago
But also to add, drug law enforcement's tendency to refer to something as a narcotic whenever it's politically expedient is obvious FUD. I allege that FUD was the intended effect when the word was used by OP.
