I didn't say anything about resource distribution, I was refuting your idea of "if you don't like the pay then don't take the job". It's a simple fact that this isn't a realistic way of seeing most people&

Having a completely free choice whether or not to take a job is a luxury afforded to very few people.

What is your point exactly? My response, when faced with something like this, is to be excitedly curious, and try to find out what the notation means, maybe by searching "type theory notation" and going a couple of links deep to f

It doesn't seem that complex to me – Apple has sacks of cash and is quite good at integration, especially given their existing reach. Taking on hugely powerful incumbents is almost guaranteed to fail. We only remember the handful who b

Codes of conduct have come about because apparently we need them. The before-time, when adults were meant to just get on with each other like adults, resulted in some marginalised people feeling very pushed out. So, as usual, a handful of u

Yes and no. "Rendering" in computing has historically mostly meant what you say, but it is defined much more broadly in the dictionary. There's clearly no pressing need to distinguish the pixely variety from virtual DOM calcu

The article is implicitly asking you to make a small imaginative leap – that the bug expressed is in fact subtle enough it would have never been caught otherwise – in the service of providing a concise, digestible example. It might have bee

It would be more polite and accurate to express that as your opinion rather than objective fact. Personally, I prefer to read the second version. I also expect the techniques shown in it, especially parsing against a type-level schema, woul

People don't get to choose their own gender, they get to choose their own gender expression. Freedom of expression (to some greater extent) is quite popular in most societies. No-one's complaining about good-faith mistakes, but if

It might be, but gender is a category that has quite some precedent. I'm willing to bet that you would be at least mildly perturbed by being misgendered. (I'm interpreting "made up category" as "relatively novel cat

That depends entirely on your interpretation of RFC 2119 in this context – whether you consider Google to have "valid reasons" or not. It's not an objective or inarguable issue.

I don't think we're going to make it on this planet if we think of maintenance as a crazy idea that doesn't make sense in capitalism. We don't have to see capitalism as the be-all and end-all, much as it seems like that

The cables/protocols situation is pretty silly, but even despite that I got on the USB-C train as soon as I could, dongles and new cables and all. The connector is that much better, and yes, if you can arrange a one-cable-to-rule-them-

"Free" as in "free at the point of use", which is a perfectly valid political position. Obviously they don't think there is zero cost in providing public transportation.

You're seriously considering paying part-time employees less per hour than full-time employees? Am I really reading that right?

I wrote my original comment imprecisely and without caveat because I was under the strong impression that it was well-known and uncontroversial. I'm definitely not the only person that has observed this. This is the first result for me

And by far and away the most energy efficient, which is pretty relevant for most Apple devices. It's currently my main browser and has been for a while.

Congratulations, it's very heartening to see a new open application-layer protocol get to a stable v1.0 :)

This is not helpful, because only an extremely small proportion of Web users run NoScript, and nor should they have to.

Linguistic descriptivism helps with what does tend to happen, not with what should happen. With sufficient effort, I think it's still possible to make a difference.

Something doesn't have to be surprising for people to legitimately protest against it. The existence of Facebook isn't a result of some democratic consensus, it's some dude's get-rich scheme that's happened to have
