I will say that the most issues I’ve encountered with Python happened on macOS machines. The default installation was always old, and success using a modern version depended highly on the techniques used to install it. For anything that inv

Python has been my go-to for prototyping since 2003. Maybe I’ve just adjusted to its quirks, but I keep returning to it despite picking up another dozen languages since. I’ve encountered other people who hate it, but never understood why; w

Is anyone talking about being obstructionist for the sake of being obstructionist? This seems like a straw man. The article raises concerns and calls for more studies.

I think this is extremely different for a few reasons: 1. When the car’s projector stops working, you can still see through your windshield (I realize AVP can keep rolling the cameras in some circumstances, but not all) 2. The info projecte

The interesting thing about this argument is that if taken all the way, Apple shouldn't see the problem with the new EU rules, i.e. "if you don't like it, sell it in your own country". For the most part, I have defended

If you look around the web, most attempts to answer this market share question land in roughly the same ballpark. The argument is not that macOS is used more. The argument is that macOS is prevalent enough that it makes sense to focus on

I think you may be right. This comment was based on 90% of the people I interact with using Macs, but those interactions are indeed mostly in SV. In that sense, the “concentration” is in the SV region, and may have been a bad choice of word

In product management parlance, this is low hanging fruit. Easy to implement and capitalizes on something the market is highly interested in at the moment. Given the concentration of developers who use Macs, and the accelerating interest in

I'd argue that this is an overly restrictive framing of the situation for a few reasons. First, patron is just another word for customer. I understand that you're using it to distinguish between two customer types: 1. The end user
