That doesn't seem particularly different that desktop software. Pretend s/he said that once they got to off of WinForms and onto WPF they could iterate on the UI design. or maybe once they upgraded GTK, or whatever.

You don't have any inherent right to arbitration. You _do_ have a right to access to a court. Arbitration _is_ only there if both parties agree to it. Your perfect world is captured by current employment contracts. Both sides agree to

that's true, you can recreate it in some sense but you can't get to what F# can guarantee. A big promise of discriminated unions is the ability to make invalid state unrepresentable. Matching on the different type constructors is

We found it quite nice for properties of objects that appear over time. Think things like Order that might or might not have delivery details. In C# you are making classes with nullable delivery timestamps, delivery person, etc. And one or

this seems to be highly downvoted as i suppose people are reading it as a rude aside, but I read it as a feature worth highlighting. Microsoft has an excellent track record with language design, promotion, stability, and tooling.

A part to consider is whether the other party knew or should have known of a mistake. It's not reasonable for FanDuel to assume a mistake there. However, if a customer purchased a bet on a game that had already happened it would be rea

Can you point to a violation of this observation? Operating systems, CPUs, compilers, and software at large have all had bugs. Can you point to anything meaningful that has not been susceptible to bugs in production? > good development p

I think the more important thing might be the consent part. Check out clickwrap or clickthrough consent. The technical bits of this can become extremely tricky and extremely important.

you're extolling the benefits of USB-C not the lack of USB-A. The presence of a USB-A would not affect your listed benefits in the least.

My understanding is that diversity isn't a goal as much as lack of diversity is a symptom that something is wrong. The idea is these immutable characteristics have no bearing whatsoever on the quality of the candidate, so what in the p

I think "this industry" might be a bit broader than a bunch of CSS experts or even people competent in CSS. This seems to highlight his point rather than dismiss him as a developer. He's not a CSS guy so having people there w

i think people are interested in the lessons learned in the past. are you sceptical or hopeful? how did apple's stab at this work out in the past? is it fundamentally flawed or deeply overdue.

wouldn't the NDA in a case like this just be about the embargo? If this is the case, what strong argument against an NDA is there given that agreement not to disclose the bug is necessary until a good mitigation strategy is in place?

i think they're talking about production run time versus development runtime. think of it as turning asserts off on production builds. but spec can conform data and explain the reason for non-conformance so some might leave some spec i

I think that that is the person's point. This is several years of development which amounts to wasted resources in light of the manufacturing setbacks of their truly disruptive product.

I've seen this logic about choosing a library but I think you are attributing a different rationale to it. I've seen it said if you find more than one library doing what you need, go through a hierarchy of criteria to choose and c
