I disagree. Language is very often used as a way to include and exclude people in and from various social groups. You're right in that there's never any direct harm in the sound of the words themselves. But you can say the same th

Of all the edicts Apple forces upon app developers, this is about the only one I agree with. I allow users to do this on my webapp, quixical.com. I wish more companies respected the 'right to be forgotten'.

WhatsApp going down is a total shock. I thought that ran on completely separate infrastructure.

If you like this, you should probably get hold of a copy of 'The Visual Display of Quantitive Information' by Edward Tufte, which collects loads of similar examples from various points in history.

Yeoman felt a little too much like a vehicle for one class of developers to foist architectural ideas on people. I'm glad it lost momentum. It would have accelerated the frontend tech churn if it took hold, not simplify or slow it down

I'm not a gregarious person, but have no problems with meeting people. I started my current role in the middle of lockdown. From my perspective, I'm not sure what the organisation gains 'culturally'. If anything remote w

I'm somewhat new to using C++ often enough to care about this. At times, it genuinely feels harder to link a project, than write the code. Having come from a webdev background, where well publicised package managers have effectively di

This sounds like an even bigger story than the Moderna HIV vaccine trial post yesterday.

Is HIV uniquely sophisticated, or are there other viruses out in the wild like this?

Not in London, or the tech hotspots of the US, I'm sure. I bet it's a free for all. It's a big reason for my apprehension of a return to the office. In London, at least, it's very common to find significant numbers of pe

Definitely. Building it is relatively straightforward, there are many great utilities in there (not just ML stuff), the maintainer cares a great deal, and the documentation is truly exceptional (like, overall. Not just the website docs).

In the case of a model/actor, where their image could be suggested to be a form of work, mightn't there be a conflict of interests? That photo would obviously not be as valuable, if the subject was of someone else. As for the Sist

I'm suggesting jurisprudence, because the law surrounding this issue doesn't seem to be in any way intuitive, and it looks like people appear to have quite different ideas about how transgressions of this nature should be addresse

Me and my wife went to the Sistine Chapel a few years back. You can't take photos in there, or in many other notable tourist attractions, without purchasing a license. Thinking about this story, does that also make sense? I'd like

Questions of jurisprudence are occasionally raised on here. The story surprised me, and in this day and age, I suspect there's a problem worth solving in this. If I stood outside you home and took pictures of you every day, should I re

A model too, apparently. But it's not the most important part of the story, imo.

OP here. Exactly the same thought. Feels like a legal fallacy. I'd also wonder if legal rights are subject to change, with an understanding of the context a photo was taken in, or the context it's used. Seems somewhat unfair to me

When I read the title, I think of Ryuchi Sakamoto. I'm no musician, or musical historian, but that man is a genius in a similar way to Mozart, or Scott Joplin.

A lot of teams still get their points inside the perimeter. Look at Zion Williamson for example. Injured now, but most of the Pelican's points come through him, and it's only going to become more worthwhile to do it, and build a t
