I'm playing on a PS4 slim and the game is fine, I really don't understand all the negativity (v 1.0.4). I had 2-3 crashes and saw some bugs like objects hanging in the air or the weapon not being visible. Performance is fine. Boug

Calls are unusable in Signal: they drain a fully charged battery in about half an hour.

On the contrary, companies should be trained not to use dark patterns to trick people and not to abuse cookies by tying together tracking and spying with visiting a web site.

Interesting anecdote for startup managers, but on the other hand one must keep in mind that startups are caricatures of companies that can't be used to draw any conclusions about how a normal company can or should operate.

"What you might not see he is responsible for giving his time to people who contribute positively." So a manager only has to manage people that are good performers and easy to manage, but those that are hard to manage should be ju

Maybe this is why laws like those in Scandinavia or France, etc. were invented: to motivate managers to try harder to do their job of managing people.

Lockdowns are just a part of the greater picture and only useful to get things under control for the real measures: wide-spread testing, mask usage, contact tracing, border screening, mandatory quarantines.

I guess "The leprechauns of software engineering" by Bossavit would fit. I've only read the free chapter myself though :-)

You would distribute it anyway as one file, because you're going to pack it into something which does the install. i.e. dmg/pkg file, installer, Linux package, etc. I don't think I've ever seen a Mac app which consisted

Denkmark obviously messed up when legalizing porn: for about a decade, distributing child pornography was legal in Denmark and there was at least one company which produced such films where actual children (younger than teen-age minors) wer

It's split quite evenly in pro and against camps, at least on privacy.

What makes someone's opinion particularly valuable when that someone's a woman or not white? They might have different life experiences and perspectives on day to day life compared to a white male, but sex or race has zero relevan

The only wide-spread health problems we ever solved as a species were solved through medication (vaccines, antibiotics, etc). Heart disease, obesity, diabetes continue to be wide spread in spite of efforts to contain them. Meanwhile smoking

By the time we all retire in a few decades they'll be a thing of the past, probably. There's so much low-hanging fruit to pick in that code and switching to Rust is like saying that we should go to Mars to pick fruit instead.

The code where the bug happens is legal C++, but it uses absolutely none of the memory safety improvements which were added to the language in the past... twenty years probably. It's basically C with classes. If they haven't kept

The point of "Linux on the desktop" was not that it happens for you and the other commenter, but that Linux becomes mainstream. :) Never happened and unless something extraordinary occurs it likely never will. And Android doesn&#x

You seem to be hanging on to the "pledge of alliance" discussion with the other guy which wisely decided to cut their losses and stop responding :) You do realise you're talking to somebody else now, right? Somebody which mer

It's logical to be concerned about complexity in a specific thing even if there are other complex things in the world. That should be self-evident.

I don't think I said that the feelings have to be expressed, but they're there nevertheless. You never have positive feelings towards objects? For example when you see a beautiful sunset, or enjoy a great tool that allows you to e

You're just regurgitating a bunch of stuff without rhyme or reason. It's very tiresome to answer such comments and frankly not worth anybody's time. iDevices always worked like you're describing. You can get a dev cert

Based on their statements about Microsoft, I think OP's very eager to fix things, but rather clueless about what needs fixing and how to do it :-)

I've been carefully observing how privacy was worn down piece by piece for more than 10 years now and you come of as a bit clueless if you're putting Apple in the same bucket as Google. They're not saints, but they're pl

Because I'm looking at real harm, not "what if..." harm. Google & Facebook have implemented the largest mass surveillance apparatus in the history of mankind. Not even in their wildest dreams could the STASI or KGB expect

You can AFAIK install what you want as long as you're willing to pay for a developer cert. But it's easier to just think of iThings as appliances with lots of cool use cases instead of general computing machines.

Why do you feel the need to pick on Apple when: a) their updates require consent b) their telemetry is less invasive than Google's or Microsoft's and at least they explain what they're collecting in most of their apps and all

This is a bit odd that you're jumping into a discussion between two other people and you're trying to make it about yourself. But please do carry on reaping and continuing things. :)
