Homebrew development has been a thing for as long as video game consoles have been around. I don't think it'd be reasonable to require Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft to provide the development toolchains/SDKs/software

That is a completely ridiculous solution to a very simple problem. How do we give bargaining power to developers? We break up the app store monopolies. That's it. Google/Apple giving you shit? Give them the finger and put your app

This is what monopolies look like.

Facebook has a lot of interesting open source projects, but they tend to abandon them. As far as oss goes, I think Google is the best. As long as you don't mind dealing with 3 different custom build systems within the same codebase, th

I doubt it's that easy to pull something like that off. And besides, people fall for phishing scams even when the domain name isn't even close to what they're trying to imitate.

That list of languages gave you the choice between dependence on Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Oracle. So maybe they just added Ruby in there to have a neutral option?

The article said they reduced costs by not using glass for the solar panels, and by limiting the color options to a single color. I don't know anything about car manufacturing, but that seems logical I guess. The car is ugly, but $25k

FreeHand is probably the most high profile, if not well known nowadays, since it led to a lawsuit brought by pissed off ex-FreeHand customers (which ultimately ended in a shitty settlement). There's also a full list of their acquisitio

Twitter and tech companies are not the first industry to have ethical problems like this. This is a problem we've solved many times in the past with strict regulations and laws. Finding ethical people is expensive, but writing laws is

Why? You can copy and paste the entire section, and use multiple cursors to add in the brackets. going from a: 'one', to a['one'], just requires you to add two brackets and remove the colon. With mult

This is what I hope comes out of the lawsuit. If a company wants to sell an AI model, they need to own all of the training data. It can't be "fair use" to take other peoples' works at zero cost, and use it to build a com

I don't think this is a good example of the value of these things. You can just as easily do that same thing with advanced text editor features. Sublime for example supports multi-cursor editing. Just hold alt+shift+arrow keys to add a

That is the most bloated boilerplate project I've ever seen. Does anyone actually use this for their projects? I would hope not. I know Javascript people are used to starting a project with a template/boilerplate, but that's

That's a good point about computer skills, however I think that's the fault of the device/OS/browser vendor, and they're the ones who should fix it. Most modern devices come with a setup process that guides users th
