This is an optional feature we're talking about, isn't it? You won't be forced to use it. It's been in C# for a few versions, and you do find there are places where it always makes sense to use (foreach loops), and ther

Are you blaming the NYT for the sorry state of sex ed in schools? You seem to be responding to something entirely different from TFA.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sadly predictable. If you don't teach kids about it, they'll learn from unrealistic depictions in the media.

The companies that run the "sharing economy" surely want you to believe that, but I don't know anyone who thinks about AirBnB that way. Do you have any links that show them projecting that image?
365.
by bmm6o 11y ago
I think it has more to do with expectations than the money per se. AirBnB is first and foremost a business relationship, and it's probably common that neither person wants any more out of it. If I hit it off with the host I might rec

Right. The actual boundaries of a city are often the result of historical accident and depend on the governmental power structure of the region. "White flight" and "urban decay" cause people to live as close to a city

It's very considerate of the burglar to only choose victims who have insurance! I'm sure the insurance company was happy to pay out. I hope you can still afford it when premiums go up with the increased crime rate that follows u

Politics makes strange bedfellows, and any coalition is going to have members who are there for different reasons. An individual person has a hard enough time putting together a coherent philosophy, and if a party is just a sum of its part

People want what they want, and don't usually have a consistent philosophical framework to back it up. They'll just use whatever phrase they've heard that speaks to them and aren't really concerned if they take the othe

So, were you going to engage in any conversation here or is this just a drive-by attempt at redefining the contents of that email?

To be fair, I don't see the word "rune" anywhere on the linked page. I'm assuming it's an error created by the submitter.

pjc50's question was rhetorical, and was offering a critique of the "sharing economy" mindset. That it should be pretty obvious is exactly the point.

Ha. I would hope it would be at least a little better, like the incomplete thoughts are at least correctly spelled. But maybe the whole idea of "chat" puts the user in a frame of mind that prefers speed of writing over all els

You're entirely right about the quality of writing that comes out. I wouldn't be so quick to blame the users, though. The tools have settled on general design decisions that encourage this usage, primarily: 1. Input boxes too sh

So you're countering one extreme position with another? The truth is that not every web app is meant to be a "fully formed citizen of the web". Users want their LOB app to be slick and responsive, and the time you spend mak

It's not explicitly about hardware, software, internet connections or food -- the particular items that you are using are irrelevant. If you are using company resources to produce a thing, they have a claim on the thing produced.

It would be helpful if you described your needs. The app that I think is best may not suit you at all. That said, I've been using Fit Notes on Android for a few weeks. I like it, it's very easy to use.
