This is not a diss on Apple or their employee, only an example of a common fallacy. But, I was in an online meeting with an Apple dev. Someone was giving a presentation. After the presentation that Apple dev said "There were zero mista

That's a strange quote to use as support for keeping government out of personal health. > "If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to death... But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible. If

It costs nothing to publish on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android (it costs to be on the play store but not to publish). Plenty of free .apks on github or itch.io for example). Not sure where you got this idea that "every other platform al

Do you any evidence this is is common? Plenty of heads of open source projects are hired by large companies. I've seen zero evidence of them not remaining independent but maybe I'm just unaware of those cases.

I don't know if SAP contributes but Microsoft pays for C#, VSCode, and other open source projects. And further they support open source by providing github, github's free site hosting, and github's free CI.

I'm not sure I'm comvinced this is a problem. I can do th e same thing just by putting QR codes on stuff. Someone is curious, scans the code, clicks the link. Way cheaper to print sheets of QR code stickers than $30 a pop AirTags

This seems short-sighted to me. In my fiction, in 10-20-30yrs we'll all have eye implants ala Black Mirror and we'll be so dependent on them that telling people they have to turn them off will be untenable. Anytime I see "no

Agreed that is a pain. In fact if Google did it they'd likely be accused of making it less useful to purposely get people to not use it.

Interoperability is arguably a hit to innovation. You start with just text messages, one company wants to add images, either (A) they have to push for a standard which takes years or (B) they add a non-standard extension. Then someone wants

I see this complaint and it doesn't fit my experience at all. I pay for a google account (GSuite) and every time I've asked for help I've gotten it quickly/timely. Maybe if you aren't paying?

Japan, or certain cities in Japan, have pretty complex recycling rules, at least relative to California. You're required to separate glass, PET plastic, other plastic, aluminium, clean paper (books, magazines, newspaper), burnables (fo

I'm pretty confident government disapproval has little to no affect in western culture or at least in modern American culture. In fact i'd argue disrespecting authority is part of the west's culture. Break the rules, be my &q

I've run into the opposite issue. I like macro lists in C/C++ (not sure what people call them). It's the idea that you create a pre-processor list and then use that list to effectively code generate. For example you can use t
