Couldn't disagree more. Humanity has developed a society with acceptable norms to make life more enjoyable for everybody. One of the important things school does is socialize kids. If a stranger breaks into your home and kills your kid

More important than that is the result of the Grievance Studies affair. When there is such heavily biased review of social science papers, it calls the legitimacy of all of them into question.

This seems like a good way to lose exceptional talent and be stuck with a bunch of mediocre or bad employees who will stick around as an easy way to get a raise. Any self-respecting high-output employee is going to be offended at the fact t

How much concern is there on your team that Apple will make breaking changes to internals that you rely on? I've seen that happen multiple times in the past to JAMF, seemingly without any heads up.

It's one thing to say that it's a chicken and egg problem for existing businesses that make money in the Apple ecosystem. It's another thing when you are still seeing new development efforts. It's 2020, this shit has bee

This isn't an answer to your question, and I apologize for that. But I have a tangential question of my own: what is the motivation driving the creation of "no code" tools? I don't mean simple graphical editors for workf

I haven't observed this yet. At least in the comment sections I've participated in so far, there has been a healthy amount of disagreement. And it nearly always stays civil.

+1. It's actually very disturbing to me just how much of an echo chamber it has become. Not only are slightly conservative ideas met with vitriol -- even the most ass-backwards, ridiculous ideas are showered in praise if they tow the l

If your argument is that people need simple rules to follow, that list is way too complicated. You only need one: "eat a variety of vegetables".

Which is part of why, in a below, I mentioned how egregious it was to oversimplify foods to "processed" or not. There needs to be more information disseminated about what kind of convenient foods people _can_ choose and what the i

Yes, I read the definition. It does little to clear up confusion. What constitutes a synthetic flavor? Is vanilla extract an example or do you have to go further than that? Emulsifiers are things that actually get used in regular cooking. A

People throwing out "processed food" as some catch-all term for packaged stuff that is bad for you is a major pet peeve of mine. Yes, foods that are pre-packaged tend not to be good for you. You _should_ eat fresh foods and vegeta

Run EC2 instances in an autoscaling group. Provision them with whatever you're comfortable with. Ansible is nice because you can point it at a node to test the deploy out without having to always respin the node to try again. Have ansi
