That's amazing. Matt Levine covered it in his column today as well--haven't had time to read it yet, but it's probably good as usual https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-06-08/moviep.

Unfortunately the crowd has turned into a mob... not the first time we’ve seen this. Wait for the cooldown and hire a PR professional.

That would defeat the purpose of DRM. Maybe rightholders won’t be as stringent since this is apple, but typically they insist on all participants holding a license.

repl.it has been a project I've admired and recommended for a long time. The same can be said for many members of this community. A few reasons why there's so much anger, in my estimation: - When you support a project, you want it

I would love for this one to make its way up to a higher court. It seems like such an open-and-shut case of free speech.

It’s a different world of smartphones and apps. Not to say that your lamentation for what’s lost is invalid, but you’ll find some incredible people on those new platforms. Check out Jeremy Fielding, Machine Thinking, AvE, and many others on

There is plenty of evidence that the first shot reduces the risk of the worst symptoms quite significantly.

It’s not an either/or :) I use a bash script which invokes stow. The good: it’s a little easier that way because stow handles edge cases (e.g. existing symlink) in a sane way. The bad: it’s annoying because stow has to be installed and

Sure, you are 100% correct. My personal story is: - Initial position 12 years ago: Apple is a closed company and they fight open standards. I don't like them - Jump head-first into Android starting with the G1 (aka HTC Dream in Canada)

The situation likely arose as a tragedy of the commons. It’s why Apple taking the hammer to the business model is worth watching. A dominant platform like Apple has the ability to change the economics so we don’t end up with everything bein

How would that happen? If the price is set on carbon, I’d expect it to be proportionate.

I have long ago stopped using Spotify for similar reasons. Apple Music is the best service IMO on iOS, though the way Apple favors it in its ecosystem leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Nothing clickbaity about the title. It says two pages without describing how much effort went into those two pages. Two pages does not imply it's easy. It implies it's elegant, which probably requires a fair amount of effort.

COVID will come and go... Hopeful nothing similar happens within our lifetimes. BREXIT will unfortunately have an impact for much longer. The UK was a place I dreamed about living in. English-speaking, great quality of life, weather is pret

Thank you for sharing that! It has never occurred to me but that makes sense. For my Go/Haskell binaries, I usually do need to make changes in order to get them working. The smaller image size is essential in my use case though so I pa

The messaging was not forthcoming, I’ll grant you that. But they are actually correct if you take a step back. Protecting the DTCC protects all brokers and thus in turn protects their users. The regulations and the practices followed in the
