At this point I’m going to hold out on updating MacOS for a year. If things don’t improve or the direction doesn’t change significantly I’m going to seriously consider paying the switching costs.

Aside: the name is fairly confusing since there is a relatively well known conference called Sync Conf (which well may be worth more attention than this)

I tend to have a policy: I will click on your unsubscribe button once, after that it's straight to 'report spam'. If that sinks your domain ratings, that's on you.

Porn comes from pornē, Greek for prostitute. So at least etymologically (and arguably logically as both involve sex for money) porn is prostitution. If that’s accepted, then I find it hard not to also accept OF as a form of prostitution.

Are the verses random? If so perhaps add a filter to make sure the name of the book doesn't occur in the verse. For instance today's is trivial (or if it has "Job replied...", or "Jonah went..." it would make i

Cool project! I'd be interested in checking out your other projects, but the links seem not to be included in your post.

Since you're from an Orthodox background, perhaps you can consider having the books from an actual Orthodox bible? For instance it is missing Wisdom of Solomon, Sirrah and others. Edit: I'd also appreciate an RSS feed so that I ca

Really makes me think that the justice system should have a wide margin for discretionary sentencing. I get that in some sense fraud is fraud, but there is one thing preying on people's greed, and another preying on compassion, charity

That does seem catastrophically misguided. I’m more curious about the more common case where tags are used as documented (and I really wish the documentation was better), but perhaps not completely. For instance we have a Finder like UI in

Is this really true? Messaging like this will cause a lot of developers to just give up. Most places I've worked at did accessibility at best as a best effort sort of thing. After reading this, there will be no attempts made to improve

And here I was thinking that my opinion of Meta as a company couldn't be any lower... Why we allow this company to keep operating is beyond me.

That’s rather presupposing materialism (in the philosophy of mind sense) is correct. That seems to be the consensus theory, but it’s not be shown ‘definitely’ true.

Congratulations on the milestone. You are making one of the most radical PLs out there into something that is actually useable in an industry setting - that’s no mean feat.

Exactly. For a web dev oriented example, I would call coffeescript a transpiler, since it would transform # some comment myFun = -> alert 'Hello CoffeeScript!' into // some comment var

Conversely though, there is plenty of older sci-fi that assumes by the 2000s we'd all be zooming around in flying cars rather than in cars that are basically the same sort of thing they had in the fifties.

I think it will be interesting to see how this sort of thing evolves in various jurisdictions. I doubt it will ever fly in the US given how strongly the US economy relies on AI. US courts are likely to keep ruling that AI training is fair u

There's a world of difference between a smartphone snapped photo by a volunteer and what a professional photographer would produce. The first will give you a pretty good idea of what's going on, but will be completely unsuitable f

I don't know how to feel about this entirely. Like I get the whole AI generated images bad angle, but on the other hand as someone running a charity I can see the benefit of not wasting donation money on sending a professional photogra

You can do that with custom properties already. AFAICT functions don't introduce any new abilities on that front (apart from the aforementioned DRY-ing).

You should have seen the architecture they came up with... it had ALL the bells and whistles you could possibly imagine and cost an absolute fortune. Of course they eventually got bored and quit. And then it became really annoying since no

It would be quite nice to see some more "killer" uses of this new feature that aren't just "we removed some duplication and... saved less than 1% of our loc". And maybe there are some really compelling ones... I thi

They also have a team of full time react devs they are paying for. That seems to me more than sufficient. $600,000/year just to run a governance board and organize a conference seems extraordinarily generous to me. In fact I think it&#
