That seems more of a function of how popular it is. But I can’t even remember learning git anymore; maybe it is hard to learn.

I disagree; I am introverted and I enjoy interacting. It's my inability to control when and for how long that poses an issue in an open office environment.

It doesn't seem any worse than Twitter itself.

The hype of open offices is how many people you can cram in a room. I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

Ahh yes, the old “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

Yes; however deductive reasoning is stronger evidence if you have it. It seems that’s what the OP might be implying, although I haven’t seen much of this in model research (empirical evidence is much easier to gather).

Not a valid comparison. The eggplant emoji might mean something other than eggplant, but if you change it to a watermelon you can’t even recognize it as the same symbol, let alone guess at the intended meaning. This is why it’s disturbing:

The only thing that implies security is an airgapped (even that is debatable) or powered off computer.

I’d guess the software, as that’s the primary distinguishing factor. I don’t know of anyone who runs windows on a mac, even though that’s relatively easy. However, there’s a thriving hackintosh community. It’d be easier to tell if Apple off

I like how you note the customer needs have no role in the Apple design process.

Frankly I couldn’t have guessed that was a sleepy emoji if you paid me, or that it’s not a tear....

Even better would be to replicate screen reader behavior—not only does it handle tables well, but it can interface with all semantic elements (buttons, navs, links, images, etc) in a well-defined manner.

You’d still need to specify and/or have a default executer, neither of which are trivial tasks to design. Somewhat ironically, the go runtime is the closest to this and has the most explicit invocation of async behavior of the language

by drb91 8y ago
True! However, I believe rust has a separate, distinct yield/generator functionality coming that should address those needs separately. I think off-hand it’d be pretty easy to wrap them in a stream, or to join a stream into a generator

Async being a “default” function type doesn’t make much sense unless you’re doing io. If you’re just computing, you often can’t proceed without the result and want to proceed as soon as you have the result—i.e. blocking. Both are critical t

It should sound good—unbelievably good. This is why the global comparison makes sense: it implies wework is already using at least 0.1% of the world’s C02 production. Which seems absurd for 1/4000000th of the world population. Maybe th

There’s quite a few reasons, but I suspect the largest is lack of a corporate sponsor. People use what they know of, and few things have shipped with smalltalk. And honestly, the language itself isn’t that remarkable by today’s standards; t

How do you know what consumers want without offering choice?

by drb91 8y ago
That’s one takeaway. There isn’t an alternative, though, so this isn’t actionable.

I wouldn’t call OS9 or before flat—sans compositing, sure, but the interface is skeuomorphic and textured: the file icon still has a corner bent, the window has a rough texture to indicate draggability. Note, I’m not a designer, Skeuomorphi

Well, it’s certainly more true than having any control over a corporation.

It doesn’t seem like the size is supposed to be impressive, although I do not know why it is in the title. This is about the use of make.

It’s still true. A debugger is still unnecessary for daily debugging.

I’d call the debugger a nuclear powered print statement. Printing allows you to view particular state at a specific point in program flow; this is often all that is necessary to identify the bug. Doing the same thing with a debugger is amaz
