For a lot of people it's not only the difficulty of learning, but also people get weary their skills might not be marketable for their next job. Marketability goes the other way too-- will this programming language be points-against by

Thanks for the tip, though yeah I have (: Fortunately, the brain is magical. It's mostly one eye that saw progression before my cross-linking-- the other one sees pretty clearly, so my brain has gotten used to it and I guess stitches t

Tangential note that I thought was interesting: I have an eye condition called Keratoconus. It developed mostly on one eye before I had a procedure done to stop it from progressing, but my vision on that one eye is affected permanently. Peo

Completely agree. For some public transport in the US it's not just a matter of outdated facades either-- the spaces just seem have gone fully unmaintained and uncleaned for decades. I remember I had to stop and change trains at the Ch

I mean, to be fair they do have more and bigger cities than the US. China apparently has 102 cities with population over 1 million vs the US's 10 [1]. If we consider "megacities", they are at 15 vs the US's two (NYC and

+1. It takes a certain kind of people to raise through the ranks like that, so you automatically filter out people who might be more akin to the original founders. Vision _might_ be an asset when rising through the ranks, but pleasing super

I don't think Apple is going for a show of power here, just enforcing its rules. Also this would be quite detrimental for all three companies.
