Gotta say I'd've taken the if with parentheses myself. Feels like it's reusing something familiar even if they are extraneous at times.

Maybe you want to dual-boot? You deploy on Linux and want a more production similar environment for investigation but prefer OSX for day-to-day work. Or maybe you work on OSS and want to validate cross-platform issues. Or maybe you were wor

So this sounds like a deliberate design choice. Like when Intel went from pins to balls shifting the complexity to the motherboard. There are always trade-offs. I guess the idea is that the overhead is worth the benefit to the ecosystem and

For the uninitiated, what kind of things? I mean are these things that are necessary for desktop operating systems, but overkill when used as a DSP or something like that? I mean these aren't dumb people working on this so I wonder wha

Well it’s easy to be glib but if your economic viability depends on remaining subsidized it’s different. I mean if you had to start cutting a cheque to Brazil for the oxygen that the Amazon produced you’d fight tooth & nail against it a

If we want that I feel like there should be a community buy out. Just so that they have something to return to investors. Just so that they have incentive to play nice and not Hudson-up the process. You shouldn't be able to build a cri

You don't have that problem in Canada, and you have many of the same advantages but you don't have nearly the amount of startups and definitely almost no big ones. It's really Winner-take-all market.

I think a better approach is to use the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to create and force websites to provide the relevant information in a standardised and accessible formats. You can do what you want, but substance before style.

Sorry but in housing the value comes from "Location, location, location". If a neighbourhood can change into anything what kind of confidence do I have about the home that I'm buying? Things are already variable enough as is.

Well strings in various languages are immutable in many programming languages so that's not it. In strings I'd say the _content_ matters. If the value needs to be preserved at runtime that is a string, if after compilation the val

There seems to be some interest, so this isn't the best written, but here you go: Strings are too flexible. They can be used for anything and there should be semantic guard rails to types. Just like you never actually need booleans and
