   As long as they're not colluding with others, this is actually a good thing for the consumer (as it's a short sighted business decision). What happens is when prices rise, third party investment rises because of opportunity for pr

   Unpopular opinion, but in the words of Linus, I have my asbestos underwear on so flame away: * Comments are excuses * They're used to validate the existence of crappy code * They do nothing for you in production Instead: * we commit to

   My next laptop is going to be from them, no doubt. I'm hoping someday they offer Arm offerings too!

   That’s encouraging. Save your money and invest it. Trust me on this. Old people told me this.

   The point that stood out to me was SQL and strong types. I still don’t understand the fear of data types, even when dynamic language programmers still treat their variables with invisible types, and leave the guessing game to the next guy.

    I was lucky enough to go to a school with uniforms. I thought it was stupid at the time. As an adult, I realize now what that did was level the playing field between the rich kids and poor kids. I can’t even imagine being a kid in school th

    The advantages are very similar actually. The added ‘benefit’ or ‘disadvantage’ is dependent on your use case. If I regard my PGP key as the toehold to my online identity, having an ssh key tied to that identity is quite useful. Kind of nea

    I think the best system is the non compete bonus. On signing: $2k for the worker and in return there’s a year or whatever noncompete, plus a required notice period. The worker can choose to accept or not, or return the bonus if they need t

    Correction: Mobile phone operating systems are designed to give a single player in the market unlimited access to your privacy while locking out competitors. The operating system is not your friend. Bravo on the rest, you nailed it.

    Everyone likes to crap on PGP, but this is why my ssh keys are subkeys of my GPG key and locked up with the GPG SSH agent. This approach is far from perfect but certainly disallows outright exfiltration attacks.

    I still don't understand why 32bit can't be executed in a special process mode or in Rosetta. Just seems like a ridiculous hill to die on. Few apps use more than 4gb of memory.

    I think AsciiDoc is a good choice, but it does suffer from the single author ecosystem problem (effectively one maintainer). If the ecosystem were to jump to MarkDown, I have a feeling they'd just make the doc system pluggable eventual

    I really want something like NVidia's upcoming Grace CPU in blade format, but something where I can provision a chunk of SSD storage off a SAN via some sort of PCI-E backplane. Same form factor like the linked project. I'm noticin

    A lot of restaurants do that? If it's agreed up by the employees BEFORE the transactions are taking place or even the employment decision is made, then whatever system they choose is fair (cooks or no cooks, etc). The key here is the t

    Yes. If you business wants to collect a "tip" up front, before services rendered, it's not a tip (Doordash, Instacart, etc). If 100% of the proceeds don't get straight to the employees, but some end up in the pocket of t

    So don't operate your 3d printer in an enclosed space? Sounds reasonable. You already have to do that with bleach, paint, window cleaner, stove cleaner, superglue, your car, your stove, your oven, your chainsaw, your weed wacker, your

    Man, every time a prosecutor gets a case overturned, they themselves need to be put on trial. Was was their motive? Did they ignore evidence? Dig deep into why they tried so hard to get an innocent person behind bars.
