The abstraction is the standard case and should invite custom behaviour to be added dynamically. This extra behaviour should be added by the caller / user of the abstraction. Especially in a CRUD situation, every custom procedure will

I don't think it works like that. Letters are shapes but keys just are a relative position. The software is reading gestures, specific keypress motions seems much less data to work with.

China has big pharma too and they pivoted from authoritarian socialism to authoritarian capitalism, they're just making money now and don't care about their poor any more.

I think it's a bit more complicated. We just arrived a little while ago in late-stage capitalism (around 2007 I reckon?), so now looking forward it's either revolution or back to feudalism.

There will be (and is) some movement, but it's mostly around the middle class. Up and down. Poor people can't get in and fat cats dominate so the more you zoom out the more you're right.

That's a really cool article. The wording could be a lot simpler but the important part is that it does not abstract the concepts. They don't need to be abstracted because they are really simple. Situations can become very complex

One of them should fork it on their personal account and work on it during bussiness hours. No liability and all the benefits. Don't tell legal obviously. "Someone forked it so now our fixes can get merged! :D"

First sensible post on this topic. All others talk about the content like the premise rings true, but Apple will never do stuff like that, same as how the current tech giants don't have a place in this world post capitalism.

Google maps is actually bloody good at just being a map. It's extremely convenient to zoom in and out, click around, view locations, add them to your route, etc. Yes you can up the productivity by using more tabs and that is the standa

You have completely missed the point. The fact that you could does not mean you shoud or even would. Wanting a cabin in the woods and being able to afford it does not make you "House freedom level". That level is being able to buy

Very much this. If the management culture at your workplace is so sick they feel the need to make this behaviour a problem, there are probably other things wrong with the culture there.

Normal people want things that look cool and can be made with minimal effort. Some people can afford to stay in an abstract backend world without ever presenting anything to non developer people, but I think most of us live in the real worl

Why is it # ff ff 99 ff Would # f0 f0 90 f0 not be much more logical? It it were decimals 10, 20, 30 would get a shrthand of 1, 2, 3. It would not mean 11, 22, 33. At 1 it's not much of a differenct but at f it's quite a bit.
