I feel as though this is comparing two different orders of magnitude. Apple users are, in general, getting upset about software user experience. A subset of users have always been upset about repairability of apple hardware, though admitted

I am a big fan of typography but I have to draw the line at ligatures in code samples. It's just not appropriate for type that actually has a compelling reason to be monospaced =)

I'm glad someone has written about this because it's something I've noticed over the past few OSX major releases. The interesting thing is that speed and stability appear to have been getting better for my use cases. However

I agree though if you've worked in the casino industry as long as I have there's precious few other ways to reason about what's going on in the minds of people who don't understand gambler's fallacy.

This is actually not strictly applicable: what SMBC is talking about is a game that is some portion gamble but for which there is a house edge or strategy that you can exploit for gain. A lotto drawing is purely random (read: no skill) so s

Lottery is a progressive tax on stupidity.

Not sure I agree. In a north eastern accent "ahnest ackmed" has a bit of a rhyme to it that has a hint of sleezy used car sales. Also interesting is that people took issue with the name _potentially_ eluding to a cultural (names d

Intellij can be configured to target older versions of the Java language (so it will basically error if you use newer language constructs than the ones you've set) but I can imagine that it might be very difficult for you to capture qu

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the guidelines only seem to state: > Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. I guess this is the point where we'd be

I'm not sure how this is relevant to what I said. While it is certainly the case that one can catch more flies with honey, I think we'd all rather be people who digest the message instead of disregarding it because we don't l

You are an adult. If you miss the message for the messenger you've got no one to blame but yourself.

Nice. Can you link me? I was involved in the project :)

It's somewhat frustrating that he continues to get the credit for "hacking the iphone" when he was neither the first nor the only person on the project. The "iPhone Dev Team" was a group of five to ten people who bu

Anki is a very impressive project if for no other reason than its constant development. It basically got me a degree in Japanese seven years ago and it's still being polished.

:( though I can't quite prove you wrong this is a sad way of looking at things. I believe that the creators of DF could easily maintain the creative integrity of the project and at the same time include others in the more technical pla

Beautiful and interesting. And the comments section is an object study in why you have to be very careful about which comments services you use on a blog, if indeed you decide to use one at all. I'm still not sure why people still do i

The real problem is the creator's stubbornness in not including others in his effort. Even if he doesn't want to release the source he should put some effort into making components pluggable so that others can do the boring work o

It's a new sort of language! It's really fascinating from a linguistic standpoint. And yes, I think that the more standardized it becomes the more creative people will get with it since it wont split into too many different dialec

I wonder why no Japanese or Korean phone companies tried to make a standards body for pictograms like this before.

This is western bias. They're simply not aware that what you're describing has been happening with East Asian telecom companies for the last 10-15 years.

At what point will you be comfortable calling Emoji a "real" language, such that it would make sense to include it in the Unicode standard? Written language, especially ones that include pictographs like Japanese and Chinese, do m

Is it really open source in spirit if message auth relies on a hosted, closed source, proprietary application like github?

Implying people in a bad place are idiots is mean and actually keeps people from getting the help they need.

But it's important to remember that Elon and Jobs were unicorns. It should be an immediate redflag if people compare others to them. I also think it's unfair to compare Square/Twitter with SpaceX/Tesla or with Apple&#x2F

As an American citizen I don't have an issue with gov't funded development of attacks on encryption so long as they don't pass laws that give them an advantage like, as an example, requiring companies to back door their own s
