(looks around) Nope, not seeing anyone defending Apple on this (at least in the top hundred or so comments at time of writing). Even if you can find one, the posts ITT remarking on how common ridiculous Apple defenses are likely outnumber t

I was gonna say, I’ve had to pore over 800+ page PDFs from the 3GPP describing like, the possible fields for one particular protocol in the LTE spec. 285 pages for the whole shebang feels Hemingwayesque.

So like, if they want me to reverse engineer Dynamicland and make my own, fine. But I’m WAY more likely to misunderstand what it’s about through reverse engineering it than I would be if I had actual source code I could study. I’m sure ther

So their antidote is just preventing the idea from gaining traction in the first place? Like, that will certainly prevent it from being misinterpreted the way Agile has been, but it will also ensure no one can use their idea at all.

I don’t like the answers they give on that page. Every single one feels like a dodge.

As cool as Dynamicland is, I still don’t get why they won’t open source it or at least release it in some form. I’ve heard various people give roundabout excuses, but none of them hold water. They often fall into one of the following catego

If you don’t want the government to prevent noncompetes, then they’re going to happen. Workers lack the collective bargaining abilities to force employers to do away with them.

You may not like the executive action rollercoaster, but it’s the one you’re on. Republicans would torpedo anything like this in Congress unless Democrats can get 60 non-centrist senators (which is not gonna happen). So you can either get t

The main issue I have with patio11 is that everything he posts reads like this. There’s just something really pretentious about it, almost everything he says could be worded in a less show-off-y way.

Not sure what the images on this page are supposed to be, they don’t load in iOS Safari. Also I’m not seeing the 1/I/l confusion other people are talking about, so it’s possible the font isn’t rendering in Safari either and it’s f

I think the general policy of “if you want to say stuff like that go to a lava pit like Gab where they affirmatively want to hear it” is good and should just be the moderation policy in any mainstream situation. People who say outright raci

It is absolutely possible to code terribly for 50 years and get away with it. Experience is no proof of anything.

Where does GP say they use a Segway at the drive thru? That’s admittedly hilarious, but I don’t see it in the comment.

I get that Casey’s video is popular (though I wouldn’t call a video with less than a couple million views in it’s first year mega-popular) but I also feel like it’s a bit of a straw man. People don’t dislike Clean Code because the examples

But performance isn’t the reason to reject his advice: common sense and good taste are more than enough of a reason. When he wrote Clean Code, Uncle Bob created a monster. Tons of people hold that book up as the Gospel of how to write not j

So like, Clean Code really does say you should write four line functions, and does not put caveats on that statement, Uncle Bob even gives a lengthy terrible-looking example of a class written with 4-line functions and holds it up as the id

This can totally happen, though in this case it’s a bit of a collective action problem. Let’s say “full compliance is low” means 80% of people aren’t coming into the office. The banks likely can’t fire 80% of their employees over something

This looks neat, but as a dataviz person who works on the web, my first question (which I couldn’t find an answer to, though I was skimming) is why would I use a special-purpose tool for these kinds of charts when D3 already supports these

A couple paragraphs in and I’m already like “Ah, here comes the Michael Crichton quote, the “papers’ full of ‘em” one.” I’ve never read one of these that didn’t come off as unbearably smug. Like sure, discerning the truth is hard, duh. But
