There's tons of tiny companies with terrible customer service. Maybe "monopoly" implies "bad customer service", but the other direction certainly doesn't hold. It sounds like you're suggesting the implicat

It's weird to me to see all this affection for CRTs here. I had a "flicker free" 120 Hz CRT and I could still easily see it flicker and got headaches when using it for more than a few hours.

It's a mess, but it still seems much better than the situation before to me. It's true, you currently need to be careful when buying cables, but if you are, you can charge all your devices with the same plug. And usb-c video means

This is such a neat project. Looking forward to the book. If there will be an English version, I'll buy a copy for sure :) Maybe you could take inspiration from Bob Nystrom (of "Crafting Interpreters" etc) for typesetting :)

This sounds believable to me. I played TFTD as a teen and loved it, but couldn't get into the predecessor.

Sure, Google tying way too many things to a single Google account is exactly the same antipattern. I'm not sure if this is supposed to refute my comment. If so, this rhetorical antipattern is called "whataboutism" ;)

The rules are for the iOS app store (or the mac app store, but on mac os you can thankfully get your software elsewhere and the mac app store is mostly a failure). Apple has revoked Epic's license over iOS brouhaha, which means they ca

Note that they're a bit behind on order processing due to covid-19. I bought one a few months ago and it's scheduled to be delivered in October. If you buy one today, it's scheduled for November delivery.

It's Sunday, for whatever reason deaths / day are down 50% on weekends. N new cases per day fairly consistently lead to >= 5% of N dying a bit over a week later, so with 40k new cases a day at the moment that's 2k death&#

Is the ebook of the textbook a regular PDF/epub/mobi or is it only viewable in their viewer apps? The page doesn't say, and I don't want to spend money on it and then realize it's not a real download.

I'd guess they have better things to do than to align their work with the schedule of wwdc. Their job is to find security issues; they probably don't care much about wwdc one way or another.

I like DDG, but this is strange rhetoric. DDG is as much for-profit as Google. It's not *fighting back", it's trying to make a profit by trying to position itself in a way that's different from Google and in a way that i
