A few guys at work got the new MBP and I've heard nothing but complaints (and one return due to a defective unit). My personal MBP circa 2014 is still chugging along wonderfully and will probably continue to do so until Apple comes up

Because I don't want to install an app on my phone for something I use once a month. And if you can structure a restaurant review site for mobile, you have no business building anything.

A lot of this comes from the "SWAT-mentality" that began infecting police forces in the 70s and 80s. The police went from a community organization to a paramilitary one.

It's a generational thing, but I would say that a large portion of Americans under the age of 50 have a "complex" opinion on the colonization of the Americas. Columbus isn't revered like he was 30-40 years ago.

They made a fair number of mistakes with Angular.js (1), so the rewrite was a sensible, if painful change for early adopters. Since version 2, the model has remained relatively stable with changes being improvements rather than completely b

That's why the Institute for Justice is there. A lot of states have laws against this sort of abuse.

So? Why should the state be able to decide if I should have to move if I don't want to just because they decided they wanted to handout tax breaks to company?

Small nitpick: this was not the dawn of the dial-up age. This was the end of 1999. I had been dialing up for at least 5 years at this point and I'm sure there where many who had it before me.

5 years ago, I didn’t own a camera and knew nothing about photography. I saw a wet plate online and I was immediately drawn to it, and thus my journey began. I was told early on that there was no way a non-photographer who ha

I used Delphi (1) to Delphi 5 in the 90's and used Delphi at a company for production software from 1998-2001. I loved it. It was (?) a great language and was always a pleasure to work in. I'm not a language fundamentalist (I use

I used to be like that, too. But I've been working primarily on my 15" MBP for the past 4 years and I love it. I still have a triple monitor 27" iMac sitting in my office upstairs, but I hardly ever use it. I find the ability

"Back in the 1990s MS was a good company." Umm, isn't that precisely the period when they were charged with antitrust violations? Such a short memory we have.

I think you're falling prey to the "No true Scotsman" fallacy. All political groups have multiple goals (as they have multiple people in them, it is inevitable). Politics is the coordination of these goals.

This is a good article for pointing out the some of the great work going on in SV and why it's an engine for innovation. That said, the Juicero was ultimately panned because it was a bag squeezing machine (and not a very good one), but
