I'm a bit wary of articles making no distinction between management and leadership.

The argument is that the focus is on the companies when the problem lies within rule-making. We cannot expect entities to obey rules that aren't there, whether these entities are individuals or companies. The distinction has to be made

For what it's worth, Apple released some devices (iPod touch I think) with the camera-wart when Jobs was still around. But I agree, lately I don't like what they do. My favorite is still the iPhone 5.

A while ago it was easier to get in (and the framework wasn't simpler), there was a lot of beginner-friendly materials (like the "do a blog in 15 minutes" video). If you started from there it was actually hard not to understa

It is easy to blame Apple (and other big companies) when the real problem is that governments are incapable of taming these companies.

I use both Live and Audacity, they are just not comparable. Audacity is an audio editor, not a DAW.

Just look at Ableton Live 10 which has just been announced. Granted, it is an evolution, not revolution, but that's what happens when the people who make software care about efficiency and familiarity (instead of novelty and trendiness

Rust is not for everything, but for the situations where GC is unsuitable (e.g. you have real-time constraints), and a few others, benefits become obvious (and it's hard to look back once you are there). Yes it can be a pain to write.

I like that for once, the records displayed in a music app are tasteful independent productions and not national top charts.

Considering how most companies are structured, it's not ready to happen. Usually there's a guy high in the hierarchy who will "think like a user" and say that "users love pretty stuff" and damn, "we'r

I'm learning German with Fluent Forever, and though it's a bit early to have a definitive opinion, so far it's going really well, far better than any of my previous attempts. Fantastic method.

I don't think my first point is incompatible with your comment, in fact I agree with it. Specifically, that the outcome of a desire for freedom is democracy. It's not freedom itself. I still stand with my point, both should not be

Random thoughts: - Freedom and democracy are different things, if some people think democracy isn't that important, it does not mean they do not value freedom. - Maybe the millenials are "not open to diverse opinions", but ma

That's not because of C, that's because of GCC.

You're right, such things should actually be in the README, but go figure, nobody does it. Documentation should not be a matter of "every function has a docstring", a description of the architecture is always useful.

If it's a niche market, low prices is rarely a viable approach because you won't have a lot of volume. Also, all the info you have about app stores and revenue are based on the total mass, or on the top-100 lists, and niche apps f

Indeed, concatenative languages are a perfect example of point-free notation. I don't see the point (pun!) of doing it in JS or any mainstream language though. They are also a joy to design/implement* and doing it really changes h

I know Ableton Live very well, and yes it's a very good example of hard stuff done right. But I wouldn't include it in the list of "apps that are so user friendly that you don't need to read the docs". (that's

In a sense, all software is service. After all, what you buy is a license, the right to use the software, you don't buy the software itself. I suppose the US doesn't view it this way, but it definitely varies from country to count

For mass market products, maybe. What about photoshop? music production software? what if your customers are developers and your product is a software library? In many cases there is an inherent complexity to a product, and it warrants some

I have to agree, things could change in the future. However, my guts tell me rust GUI libraries/frameworks won't be as great as say, Cocoa, although that's something I would love.

All three have different goals and solve different problems. While you can compare things like "they both have MATCH statements" or "unions are safe", deeper they have nothing to do with each other. You would be crazy to

Apple has no problems cannibalizing its own products. That being said, I don't think they would do dedicated cameras.
