I feel similarly with Docker. But it's easier to explain to newer folks because it's only a single layer of abstraction above shell commands.

I'm not the author and my opinion might not be warranted, but I would guess: * When you modify your local nix file, there's only a couple things you need to change. It stays small. You can keep track of all these changes because t

Is that really a newer thing? My ancient high school had 45-degree windows (for theft and suicide prevention I imagine). Why lock it all down? Cost?

By talking about policies that uplift the poor generally. And worker friendly policies all around. If more black people are poor, then more black people will be helped by such policies. If we want to help the poor, let's help the poor.

Probably mean to ask this way, but why does this read like something written by a moron? Like it has this unprofessional condescending air to it.

The point is that Microsoft effectively "bought" that good will with developers and now they've cashed it out. I have no plan to trust them, and if I hear the "actually Microsoft has been good for open source" argum

But but, "Microsoft isn't the same anymore!" VSCode is open! And good! The narrative has really pulled in Microsoft's favor and I think that's not too our advantage. Every conversation I have with them is about how

This is the right answer in my view. If you need something structured use XML, otherwise INI. I'm more likely to Yacc my own config format than use YAML or JSON personally. JSON is great as an output format for data though.

Why not just hold onto both? The users representation and the file handle. Only ever "display" the representation, while you do all operations on the handle. (Not trying to be sarcastic, just curious).

The speculating about the OS arch made me wonder: If such an issue were to occur on iOS without a crash, would anyone even notice? There's no real way to monitor RAM usage, and the failure mode is less clear (slowdown, issue with respo

It's been a slowly developing problem. There's always been riders to important bills, but so little legislation is made by Congress now. The only opportunity to get anything done is one of the few bills they manage to get their sh

It also has a very long (and silly) dev history. I don't know it very well, but wasn't the source code stolen at some point? Then several forks that did and did not include that code? Or is that just source from the SomethingAwful

This is funny because when I saw a dermatologist they just prescribed retinol cream (the textbook solution), didn't look at my skin, and didn't much care for my thoughts or concerns about how to better care for it. "Just take

They have to take the same elementary physics class we all took in high school. It's just too "hard" to actually care. They remember work and energy are things, but it's just not worth caring about to them.

Even if the death rate is low but the _perceived_ impact is high. Ex: Imagine a week where self-driving cars have a bug that only mis-identifies grandmas. Only a few grandmas die but the perceptual impact is massive.

> Why not trust Apple? Where do people get this idea I should trust a company? I should never trust a company. That's nonsense. It's like trusting a lawnmower to watch your hamster.

Really wish I could meet the idiot who closed that bug as WNF. Just know they have some dumb as rocks reason for keeping that behavior. "The user may want to return to Cortana. WNF"

It's gross incompetence. If you have Microsoft's resources, you should be able to compete with a good UI. They can't. To me, that's a sign of complete incompetence. Excuse it however you like, but those guys are getting

It's kinda fun seeing it happen in real-time in the comments though. Lol. These people will be the joke of history books. I can imagine the line already: "While many were hopeful that FDA approval would assuage the large amount of

I personally think it's feasible to support a Vulkan->Metal translation layer. Khronos already supports a project that does this, so Apple could take ownership of that responsibility. This would encourage developers to bring their g

Wait... This comment isn't serious. I read that. You just tail the file to find the error. But it's very useful to go through it all. It's not garbage to me. I find most logs quite readable.
