Sorry but that makes zero sense. Monopolies like these kill the free market, kill competition, kill innovation and by that they hurt the end-users and the whole economy. No one benefits from this current situation except Apple. That's

Well, if we're going with tool analogies, you probably would complain if your tool box is such that you have no idea what tools are crammed inside. Github has grown huge and it's getting increasingly hard to keep track of repos. Y

IMHO not quite, perl's Mason was actually very easy to use. Thing was that mod_perl was a major PITA, you had to restart the server after each change to the code, it was integrated deeply into the apache request flow giving you million

In electric circuits capacity and inductance make energy oscillate between the electric and the magnetic field. The closest analogy I can think of for water pipes would be the oscillation between the kinetic and the potential energy (or th

ML can't learn to understand the business needs of a company, that's something that even external human developers are always struggling with, and it can affect usefulness of application much more than occasional bugs. On the othe

I think that crazy stuff is taking over the TV more because it's purposefully pushed by TV stations in a run to compete with all reality shows than because of giving voice to the both sides. Just look at the History channel that has no

JSX just reverses the story, it's js with islands of html tags thrown in it instead of being html with code in it... in the end when you look at an average presentation component it's still like 90% html tags and some js mixed all
