He kinda explains it later: > I think that inflicting suffering on vicious wrong-doers is morally praiseworthy even in the absence of any deterrent effect. Deterrence is a happy byproduct, but the fundamental point of punishment is to b

There's plenty to criticize of Mozilla, but yes, they're a lot better, or a lot less bad if you want. Are you really suggesting there isn't a huge difference between an ad and sharing your browsing history with advertisers? I

Whenever I read this kind of comment, specially about Apple, I always wonder: What are you suggesting we do? If the answer is "just don't have a tablet and buy a FairPhone or a feature phone, have less tech", I think that&#x2

I see disposable as having several meanings here. If it means crappy quality and unreparable, something that will last for a couple of years tops, I agree that is terrible. It could also mean decent quality that will last, but is cheap enou

Empathy and imagination can be found in plenty of non-fiction. I enjoy reading fiction, mostly for escapism although the good ones also enrich me, but there is plenty of non-fiction that can feed those qualities. Non-fiction that focuses on

I've been noticing this kind of sentiment online a lot. Seems like a recipe for an accomplished, unhappy life. Ambition, this time for "doing", whatever that means, without considering your and other's happiness. How doe

In the desktop world, all major OSes are similar in this regard. I can install whatever I want on my Mac laptop, and of course on my Linux computers. Really iOS is the outlier in the major computing platforms in how much of a walled garden

I kind of agree, but I'd add that I don't think it's a bad thing.

I'm a web developer but I've also worked in C (no plus) and other stuff. I fully acknowledge it exists; I actually would love to use it. But then I'd be reaching way less people than with the web. My web apps can be tried wit

The main difference to me is that with Prisma I don't need to do any SQL to get a project up and running. I can define the tables and relations from my code or from Prisma Studio, and in one swoop I get the db structure done and the ty

May be they have Gmail open on a tab for 6h a day? I don't know that I would say that's "being on Gmail". Google can send them notifications, but they're not generating useful data during all that time.

It's a tool most of us use for many thousands of hours a year. Buying a better one, even if it was only a bit easier to use, or a bit faster, makes a lot of sense. Also, many developers (not all) make a lot of money. Even Sublime'

Many comments here that I agree with, but I'd add that thinking purely in terms of commercial vs non-commercial is very reductive. Mozilla is a not-for-profit company, and that matters, but they do engage in advertising deals and thing

It does. Might be a basic one, I suspect it's just sending your input to JS's eval function, but it gets the job done. EDIT: I said it looks like JS eval because I put in `sqrt` and it showed me something like `function sqrt() { [
