You get to choose between this Safari skin and this other Safari skin. What a giant leap.

Lisp is important for its intellectual contributions, not for its use in large production systems.

What history of oppression does the term "Karen" have associated with it? The N word and "faggot" both have centuries of violence behind them.

How much choice is it really if you're excluded from your friend groups because they don't like green bubbles? (True story, happened to a couple people I know.) Apple excels at various kinds of lock-in. The more it does that the l

> Why should you get an exemption because you have a cult following? Well, Apple's products have a cult following, and Apple gets an exemption from all of Apple's rules. Seems fair that everyone with a cult following should get

You're correct that he should have a different standard applied to him, but it should be higher than normal, not lower .

A big reason why Fuchsia exists is governance — Google wants to make a kernel that it controls. Linux cannot provide that advantage unless Google forks it.

It's not like Apple prices its products to be in reach of the vast majority of the world population. Apple's business model precludes it from being generally "widespread".

I pity your lack of imagination.

Correct, police = violence. Abolish the police.

It doesn't necessarily solve this completely, but it can be used to significantly reduce the amount of code you have to manually audit. For example, you could use tokens to represent permissions, and arrange your code so that only a sm

A language with a decent type system can easily take care of issues like forgetting to check the password along one code path, or at least significantly reduce the effort involved.

It will. But a less robust free speech tradition can give you an Orban or a Modi, who are both worse than Trump. On net I'd rather take that risk because of its greater potential to correct itself when it goes wrong.

Trump is exactly why a great deal of power needs to be vested in non-state institutions which are comfortable defying the state. Imagine the situation if the US didn't have robust free speech laws. Trump would have clamped down on diss

Is that a common thing in the tech world? Regardless, I'm not sure what that has to do with the name of the degree one got.

by damnyou 6y ago
I'm suspicious of any attempt to place so much importance on the name of a degree. I'm not even convinced there's a meaningful distinction that can be made between the two. Computer science topics like finite state machines a

This is such a toxic, selfish traditional view. Your highest duty is to your own self and the people you care about. That may or may not include the people who raised you. You can define and be loyal to family that you choose.

That sounds like a lot of string theorists, to be honest.

Yes, and it's a glaring issue with management that they "chose" to do that. New shiny thing that compromises on fundamentals like touch typing support.

I hate the lack of function keys. I hate the lack of touch typing support. It's a huge, glaring issue.

What I'm saying is that — while the fact that all PC laptops have glaring issues is true, Macs just have a different set of glaring issues. Doing my bit to counteract the rampant sycophancy here.

What nonsense is this? It is very clear that Dell has tried to improve the XPS 13 over the years and it has gotten better. They figured out a way to have the webcam on top and super thin bezels, something Apple hasn't been able to do
