It's how they've always done things. It was about 10 years after the last 68k Mac shipped before the entire classic OS was power. Same with moving everything from carbon to cocoa.

And none of those things are the responsibility of, nor in the power of hospitals.

Seems likely they simply don't sell enough full-cost unsubsidised phones direct to consumers to warrant a separate firmware for that stream. Not surprising, phones are expensive these days, and almost everybody is on a contract for the

Because in the 90s in California, body-on-frame small trucks were immune from some emissions and safety requirements, making it the only way to get a powerful v8 as well as a great way for GM and Ford to save a few bucks. Follow that up wit

None of this matters unless something is done to stop the Chinese "private" fleet from ignoring the laws and borders that already exist.

They're not doing it to "protect" europeans, they're simply hoping the eu marketplace is big enough that they can make US companies change their software in ways that would violate (at least) the 1st and 4th amendments i

Of course nobody wants to work there, it's a Delphi shop. It doesn't matter how nice using Delphi might be, it's going to make getting your next job significantly more difficult.

Unless you've been hired specifically to address a culture problem and been given the resources and powers with which to do so, don't be that guy. All the people who are in your immediate vicinity already know about the problems a

It's a step in a positive direction that Deno makes you explicitly grant a script permission to do some things, but that's not at all what is meant by capabilities, and that's absolutely the wrong word to use to describe it.

Because that's not what they (the machine, not any particular persons or parties) are using to do most of their ill. The weapons most often wielded against the citizens who get uppity aren't rifles and batons, but the media and fi

Instead of trying to tweak how we select the people that want to control every aspect of our lives, we simply reduce the power the state has to do so? The less power the machine has, the fewer incentives there are to get control of it, and

I would like to see a lot more of them in the world, as interactive tools as well as simply diagrams. I think they would make a great basis for a UI to design multi-step async processes where things can fail at any point and you want to han

This is a bug in the meat, and is not going away. The problems are well understood, thanks to decades of examples in semi-automated trains, boats, airplanes, and industrial monitoring systems. Until "self driving" is good enough

It's easy; help people who are trying to use or understand your software, or show (in detail) how your software helps solve problem X which was actually being discussed organically. Having a helpful friend who works for the company is

These are almost entirely a list of things that could not exist without (pre-existing) celebrity status, or simply purchases made to get a jump-start on network effect value for an adtech platform that exploits rather than empowers users.

Where is it? I do not have a twitter account.

Why would you open a blog post about X not with a link to it, but a link to the author's twitter page? That has no use to many of us, who can't even scroll down through the tweets looking for a link should we feel... spelunky....

Unless you want feedback, attention, or are trying to build public credibility, there are no benefits and many risks, in a world of shifting goalposts, infinite recall, and constant attempts to hold people in the past accountable to the mor
