I think with how unergonomic airplane seats have gotten, there's a real health benefit to minimizing the time people are crammed in those cramped seats. If they made airline seats reasonably sized and ergonomic, sure, the flight time m

I think the key thing missing from go slices is ownership information, especially around sub-slices. Make it so you can create copy-on-write slices of a larger slice, and a huge number of bugs go away. Or do what rust did, except at runtime

I want Apple iMessage to be clearer on iOS. Right now, iOS users can't as easily understand the difference between iMessage and SMS, and I think it would make what's happening clearer to users if the apps were separate. If you ope

That's better than the current option. If people want to group SMS they should open their phone's SMS app. If people want to group iMessage they should all open iMessage. If people want to chat on signal, they should all open sign

Got it, I'll move to a country that supports RCS at my earliest convenience, and also not message anyone while I'm roaming to another carrier on vacation. My carrier should support MMS, but I haven't yet had it work (and inbo

All the other messenger apps you can use on iOS, like whatsapp, telegram, signal, etc, have no degradation with android users present. Why can't apple publish an iMessage app for linux, windows, and android? Telegram and signal have no

It was certainly not a scam as the process completed successfully after iMessage-ing the required documents. It wasn't the US though, yeah, but rather some american working for a foreign country's government.

On my device it always gives me an error telling me to turn on MMS, which is turned on of course. No, rebooting the phone doesn’t change anything, thanks for suggesting it

It does. If you try to send a photo in an inferior green bubble chat, you get an error. Face time calls don’t work. The text is harder to read for me because it’s low contrast and can’t be configured. It’s significantly less secure, and a g

All the easy alpha has already been taken by high-frequency traders and big trading firms, and once all the easy alpha is gone, you're left more-or-less just tracking general market behavior... just like index funds. Except being more

I think it's a bad addition since it pushes people towards a worse solution to a common problem. Using "go tool" forces you to have a bunch of dependencies in your go.mod that can conflict with your software's real depen

There is a way to have your cake and eat it too: rust. In rust, you have: let s = S{foo: 42, ..Default::default()}; You just got all the remaining fields of 'S' set to "zero-ish" values, and there's no NPEs

Kubernetes only runs on linux, so it follows to reason if you care about k8s you should care about linux. My experience is also that good experienced sysadmins often use linux for their own machines as well. Targetting a tool at macOS users
