Why? What do you mean by "the market can afford"?

Git's lack of centralization, i.e. a "source of truth" repo at the tool level is it's most imaginary, impractical benefit. Times where I've had to skip over origin and push to someone directly are few. Those occasio

I've never used Uber, so I'm curious: Don't you have a "contact support for this ride" option somewhere? If they can't mediate a two-sided market, they're no better than having a phonebook of recommended d

That's... not how it works.... If that were true, then moving to a microservice architecture they'd need 5 million instances of the microservice that replaces the part of the monolith that required 5 million instances in the first

This conflates two kinds of slowdowns. Post-implementation stuff like thorough peer reviews and automated testing followed by manual QA is usually a net gain on a long enough timeline. The damning and soul-draining part is pre-implementatio

I feel like most explanations are overcomplicating it. By the rules of the game, the option of switching is asking you the question "Do you think you chose the correct door out of the three?". If you think you did, you don't

The exclusions such as Avenged Sevenfold are indeed baffling, but some of the asterisks are so hilarious, I think there was a facebook page collecting them at one point. Stuff like "Meshuggah is Djent which isn't metal (???), but

I feel like macros might be a poor name for the feature. Most people in Javascriptland expect macros to enable some sort of AST manipulation, whereas these are "just" compile-time statements. Still pretty cool, but putting "J

I just ran into this problem -- not being able to view tweets without logging in. As much as I hate Musk, this is clearly the trajectory of all platforms. Without a unified push towards self-hosting or the fediverse, the internet as we know

That wouldn't be cross subsidy, that would be selling at a loss, right? I don't think any item has ever been sold for the sum of its bill of materials. The price is always bill of materials + labor + some profit, and here "la

What's the difference? You still have to find a way to maximize profit at the cost of pretty much everything else. The only difference is that VCs are more willing to play the long game, whereas the stock market wants better results ye

Any tips for Atmos? I've tried turning on "spatial audio" for albums that support it on apple music, but it just sounds more distant and echo-ey. It sounds so bad that I can't imagine anyone liking it, so I must be doing

I believe anybody who's shopped for a desktop CPU in the past decade knows this. The difference is that a Ryzen 5600X costs 10-15% more than a regular 5600, not twice as much and then some.

Unless Sennheiser can prove that the 555s are being sold at a loss, there is no "cross-subsidizing" happening here. You talk as if "the markets" and "the economy" are some naturally occuring phenomena that are
