Lots of businesses build their own software. Do you think it's easier to deploy private software onto an iPad or a Windows machine?

Speak for yourself - the Surface Pro line is sexy as hell and the fact that it's not a walled garden is a huge plus.

If most other people are following the rules, I will certainly follow them. Given that dependency, I can't guarantee anything though.

Nope. No, no way. Uh-uh. Forget it. It didn't happen in the news, so it didn't happen. There is no possibility that anything hidden ever takes place, therefore you are wrong and your story must be fake. /s ( I've actuall

Talking about downvotes is also frowned upon, so please don't do that either. Thank you.

I did it in retaliation to the person(s) who downvoted someone speaking well of Microsoft products. If you really want to see how petty people can be, try being a Microsoft fan around here.

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
Some people are so petty that they feel the need to downvote this because you spoke well of a Microsoft product. I love my Windows tablets! They're so much more powerful than devices running a locked down mobile OS!

I only use Windows tablets, where I enjoy the freedom of installing whatever I want. I have a Dell Venue Pro 8 running Win10 for light duty & reading, I have a Surface Pro running Win8 at a client's site for a remote workstation an

Yeah, I'm so happy that Apple popularized the walled-garden approach to selling hardware and software. Now everybody is trying to get in on it and instead of owning my stuff and being able share it and run it wherever I want, I'

Wow, I pasted the wrong sentence. But you're still obviously lying or completely missing my point . And who are you trying to convince here? People can easily read what you wrote, there really wasn't much there. My point is that

You're building a straw-man there. A standard library can certainly be made to be modular and versioned. It doesn't have to be bloated for any reason whatsoever. This is Javascript - you can chop up your scripts however you wa

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
Which library? From where? Never heard of ramda, but I can tell you it's not standard. Why should people use JS with a non-standard library when dictionaries come built into better languages?
104.
by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
You totally underestimate the millions of JS coders who want something better than JS, who have been using JS because that's their only choice. I think most coders would choose a language that has better tooling and robust standard l

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
'Expressive' means that it's easy to write code that's easy to understand . JS doesn't even come close to the expressiveness that you get in C# due to the fact that in JS, you don't even know the type of argum

As if competence in web design had anything to do with it. There's a subtle difference there. Rage harder though dude, it's Friday! Someone who bitterly states that "you know nothing about design" is obviously a web desi

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
It seems like you changed your point then. If you meant to say that "it has nothing to do with web design" then you should have said that instead of trying to defend "competent web designers" as if competence actually ha

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
Totally agree. I can't wait for someone to get this right! Many, many enterprise shops spend way too much time building simple CRUD apps. It's basically a "Microsoft Access/VBA" or "FileMaker" for the web.

I read it. You think "whoever" decided that their web page needs intrusive advertising, tracking, etc. did it in consideration of pros and cons... but with regards to the user experience ? I doubt it. They're thinking about

When you call something a complete failure without also mentioning that other OSes are also considered complete failures by the same standard, it seems a little one-sided.

This type of complaint needs highlight the fact that "design flaws" are a matter of course for any major operating systems. Without doing that, it comes off as a fairly one-sided, myopic point of view. Plenty of people hate the bu

The OS X Dock is the crappiest integral part of OS X and I'd love to replace it, but it simply cannot be done properly because Apple is the only one allowed to access a certain key API (the one that changes NSScreen.visibleFrame).

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
The conclusion that you can draw from this is that the person I was replying to has no point.

by WorldWideWayne 11y ago
You have to add and replace all sorts of things to make OS X usable. Apple just added the ability to resize a window by it's edges a couple of years ago! And there still is no tiling. And the finder still sucks. But it's got the

This is okay, but I wish OS X had something as nice as TortoiseGit.

How did you get "exes only" from the word "binaries"? Anything can be uploaded to VirusTotal - Office documents, images, zip files, exes, installers...and that's what I do - pretty much anything that isn't a si

I'm mildly annoyed at the absurdity of people writing TL;DR after typing out three whole sentences. In case people don't know - another way to start your last sentence is: In summary...

Whether I'm on Windows or OS X - I don't like real-time anti-virus, so I just upload to virustotal.com whenever I download a binary.
