In principle consoles are not different, and lawyers looking at Apple/Google stores are also wondering what impact would a ruling in this field have on consoles as well. I think nobody goes after consoles for now because there is no bi

We had that with Google basically killing the RSS reader market, and it looks painfully hard to have it back to anything relevant, so this is a pretty bad scenario. Now I don’t think VSCode will kill its competitor, it’s not that good IMO.

VSCode is an alternative to Atom, Textmate and Sublime Text. I’d see Intelij more into the kitchen sink included heavy weight IDE. I’ll agree with you paying IDE could get more love, but each of these apps have specific strength and weaknes

While at the start it was just a synching folder, nowadays dropbox’s value proposition is: - having a client in any mildly popular operating systems. - having a fast and simple file sharing mechanism with co-workers/clients - having hi

I don’t see iOS clients, not even third parties. Am I missing something ?

It goes both ways, something too cheap will also get you no sympathy when it ends up being fake or a knockoff. On a moral standpoint I think it evens out.

The word is pejorative because it’s a bloody move. But I think when people compare colonialism to nazis, they should really separate the economic/political/military move of taking over another country, and what happened from there

What would be your preferred term ? To put things in perspective, Australia or Hong Kong for instance were colonies that overall benefited from the relation with England, so I don't really get the parallel you draw with nazism.

It is bike-shedding in a way, but I think it’s also a direction PHP is taking (becoming more strict, more rigid, less “hacky”). Switching to Postgres follows the same philosophy I think. Migrating existing services is usually a stupid thing

Conclusions are overblown(I guess it wouldn’t get wide appeal otherwise ?), but there is a kernel of truth in that the language at least introduces you to some visions of time you might not have. From there, not every speaker uses every asp

TBF it costs licensing money, like twice as much. Yes, I know, it could be chalked up as cost of doing business, I’m just saying it’s a different question than just choosing between free linux distros for a VM.

For anyone curious like me, the standard editions are 139~199$ for the license, 501~6155$ for the server editions. So the price to not get ads every update is 300$ I guess.

It might depend on the culture, but for a lot of people socializing is considered relaxing, and the more people you have around the higher the chances for any of them to have that belief. Aside from going out and physically isolating yourse

I think Japan has issues of isolation more than loneliness (basically the inverse issue: people shutting down social interactions as flight mechanism)

It’s a bit tricky but as I far as I know France gov can’t by design reserve the profit from any tax to a specific use. It’s all pooled for the global budget, and the pooled money is dispatched according to the agreed plan each year. But any

The purpose of the tax is to recover the external cost of flying. Ideally there are alternatives to flying, but it's not a requirement: as long as flying has an environmental price, recovering it through tax is a decent logic. We can d

I think you are right. I also think it’s an issue, as this law is set up to start a cat and mouse game, where precedents are slowly established, while bad faith actors find other workarounds and run with it until new rulings are set, to the

It seems to be very polarizing yes. Then Steven Crowder's channel has 4 000 000 subscribers, so someone asking youtube to punish the channel is garanteed to have "strong opinions" facing him. This is the original tweet series

Technically you can. In practice it’s playing the outrage lottery: you can’t complain not winning if you don’t buy into it, but you only have one in a million chance to have your issue blow up to any proportion, and then some more astronomi

The pace of purchase of the laptops and iPhones slowed down though. It can be attributed to a lot of factors, but we can't make the blanket argument "it's selling more than ever so they can't be doing it wrong" anym

While this must be true for a sizeable part of the population, more and more people also don’t ever touch a desktop/laptop or only use the one at work. Unsurprisingly, the latter case gets truer for low computer litteracy adults for wh
