But someone on the team has to take time, no matter how little, to choose which way to go for all these pointless nits. Again, they don't matter, why does anyone on the team have to work on them? Just use Black's settings and mo

You are entitled to try to block ads (and I do, myself). They are entitled to try to not serve you content if you do so without paying. To the winner goes the spoils, I guess.

If you tie your company to the your identity person as tightly as Musk has done, you shouldn't be surprised when people make purchasing decisions based on the political and social views you espouse so loudly. Nobody knows who BYD'

People will never agree about minor, non-consequential choices, especially choices that are not objectively good or bad. Where these decisions have no effect on the quality of the output of the work (like trivial formatting settings), it&#x

So because trucks cannot be electric at the moment (doubtful, btw, but let's accept this premise), we should not try to electrify other parts of the global fleet? Every little bit helps, plus the research that goes into that will creat

No it isn't good (in this case). All the options are pointless aesthetic choices that don't make a difference in correctness or performance, and the time spent tweaking them is far better spent pushing features and fixes.

In what ways is it harmful?

For teams, I'm not sure the knobs are a good thing. Sounds like it will just be another source of infinite bikeshedding arguments. I am a big fan of "set up Black and forget about it", even if I dislike some things it does (l

The issue isn't the number of hours, it's the stagnant wages despite increased productivity.

It works perfectly fine on Debian testing (in fact the X session developed show-stopper bugs that forced me to use Wayland), so it should be on Ubuntu soon.

You can't release new code that is incompatible with Python and call it Python if you have not been allowed to do so by the Python Software Foundation. It's like, basic trademark law.

Every time the EU forces Apple to open up some of their platform (USB C, alternative app stores, etc) there's a top comment in the thread saying how the new change makes Apple platforms somehow "ickier", that they chose Apple

"Badly written" is something I have never heard about official Postgres documentation.

They should make Premium global before they start whining. I couldn't pay for it even if I wanted to (and I do). So ad blockers it is.

I use Deezer because it was the only option (sans VPN shenanigans) in my country for years, and I only ever have failed to find one song I often watch on YouTube. Maybe my taste is pretty basic though.

If I buy an Apple phone, tablet, and computer, that will be 100% of my computing infra, which is all that matters to me.

It's not my life though, is it? That's already a done deal, and I wasn't given a choice. The question is whether I should bring forth a new one.

Probably true. The whole vertical integration does rub me the wrong way though, it's just uncomfortable to have one company own so much of my personal computing infrastructure, especially one that is so unfriendly to "tinkerers&qu

People who regularly exhibit risky behaviour should not be allowed to increase the risk premium of the entire population without paying a proportionally larger amount. Especially for harmful, yet pointless behaviour like driving too fast on

Burdening someone with existence without their consent just to give my life meaning seems a bit selfish to me. Everyone's calculus of how likely their future kids' lives are likely to be comfortable, rich, and fulfilling is obviou

Is the implicit "… not written by the original OS vendor" at the end of your sentence intentional? There is obviously a program and/or configuration, just done by Apple. Nothing precludes building such a system in other syste

It obviously uses "a program, a hack, or configuration" (taking these from the original reply), just that they are written and pre-installed by Apple, and work seamlessly.

What would you have people do instead that is actually helping and not virtue signaling?

True. Rich and stable ME states (UAE, …) have very low birth rates. The ones that have undergone turmoil like Yemen have higher birthrates.

Having children is a horrible deal for women though. Given the effect on their careers, health, and social life, I can understand why fewer would willingly choose to have them. This explains why whenever civil protection and economic freedo

Noticing that someone is a member of a racial (or any other group) is benign. It is just a fact, nothing more. What you do with that information is what matters. As an individual, I can claim that I am colour/gender/whatever-blind
