Drew treats his Mastadon as a somewhat personal place and had not intended it to be posting here. So yes, perhaps it shouldn’t be here, but it’s not really insulting a competitor. See: https://cmpwn.com/@sir/10301838846

A lot of the time, the danger with unsafe code is doing a thing like passing a null pointer into a function that can’t handle null pointers, or using something before it is instantiated. So the interface should force those things not to hap

So that they can watch your interactions with the site to confirm that you do it in a “normal” way, nevermind that this discriminates against those with disabilities.

You think 9% of all workers will switch to being remote every year starting now? By that logic, there won’t be any non-remote workers left in 15 years. The current number is only about 3% [1], so a more reasonable growth number (although st

When the platform is the web browser, not an OS. If I write a website today, it works just as well on Linux, Windows, macOS, or any other modern platform. Other than DRM, there is nothing needed for Disney+ that isn’t common across all desk

My interpretation of the quotes is that if a show is on Netflix, its pirating rates go down drastically, but some shows on Netflix are still pirated. That’s because there is a significant population who pirates only when it is easier than s

There’s a high cost of entry (onboarding lots of customers, building data centers, writing the management software, etc.), so there isn’t much competition. The market just isn’t efficient in this case.

Build houses for them, for one. Make housing cheaper in the first place, so they don't go on the streets. At a bare minimum, at least have sufficient shelters for them so they don't have to sleep on the streets. (Almost) no one wa

Vendors that are aiming at a split workflow, with a free tier and a paid tier usually have some set paid tiers and then a “contact us” for beyond that. For example, Slack gives you prices for the Standard and Support plans, and then lets en

Most videogame companies are like that. It is definitely horrible, but the company's attitude toward its employees' work hours is unrelated to its attitude toward China.
