Doesn’t reality suck the same ? My gas car stinks, destroys the planet, needs yearly maintenance, crashes in everything the second I stop paying attention. My house decays days after day. Floors need constant cleaning, wall have holes from

Funny enough win2k was the first to have a somewhat decent multi-language management, in particular you didn’t need a dedicated CJK version. So that’s where the nostalgia loop would stop for a lot of us (and it was buggy as hell, of course

I totally agree with the everything plugin aspect. Then consistent and integrated IDEs are a mix of “everything and the kitchen sink” and “our way or the highway” Personally I prefered to pay the price of an ugly and patchworky workspace to

Do you currently see banks as a bastion of straightness and uncorrupted values ? We have scandals after scandals for as long as I can remember, from the pettiest levels (opening sub accounts without telling clients to meet sales figures, bl

The point is on “reasonable”. We are so far away from any reasonable efforts that we’d need to put pretty drastic punishments to even have a chance to tip the balance on the “too much” side. In particular in the current situation we are tal

As for a lot of studies, what sticks to me is they were all done on students. In a sense, they take notes all day long so they are an interesting subject. On the other hand they are taking notes related to an external source, and not of st

Apple carved out a special ‘reader apps’ category for Netflix and other providers to bypass the standard restrictions of needing to implement all digital payment in-app. https://www.fastcompany.com/90519293/the-surprisi

I don’t get the lying angle. Apple could have told Epic that they would terminate the feature on their side at the given date, Epic would prepare for that, but in the end Apple goes back on that decision. Epic’s story stands, and Apple effe

I think an aspect that is missing in our discussion is that not every company had to openly fight Apple. Netflix for instance got their deal without drama. From the court docs Epic and Apple were also negociating but it didn’t work well. W

I wonder if they have a plan to move to iPad their codebase after it’s battle tested. There’s a lack of a serious editor over there, and in particular VS Code can’t compete because of it’s business model.

I’d say we shifted our signaling to laptop stickers, Vessi snickers or “life long” classic style worker boots that were only used to go from and to the office in the old times. I kinda like some attention is still on shoes, somewhat.

Thanks. If I understand correctly, it’s a position roughly equivalent to “Lead” but without assumption that there is a team behind nor of any official hierarchical position. Still feels weird if you have both a COO and a “Head of operations
