They won by not having a credit card machine that mysteriously broke at the end of your trip. Fixed fare was very late to Uber and Lyft.

I have one (in a ~2yo house). It's a nice idea, but practically the hoses are a pain in the ass, and I still use my Dyson almost exclusively.

I'm not offering a case for or against either, to be clear - and neither are you - indeed you went so far as to say effectively you wouldn't even bother considering the semantics since they _must_ be awful.

Rigorous isn’t the same thing as tedious?

Terraform and Pulumi have basically the same semantics. > Why should I care about writing 'new' in front of all my declarative configuration? Because that’s how your choice of language instantiates an object. Try F# or Swift or

Pulumi is a great example of declarative APIs built with imperative programming languages. SwiftUI is another. Personally I have nothing against the Nix language, and use it without issue, but it's untrue to suggest that the language i

A timeline: - The MS Debugger was use in Rider - thus was perfectly functional from a technical perspective. - It was later discovered that the license was proprietary, allowed only for MS products. VS Code is one of those. The extension ma

One example is the core Temporal.io client, which is implemented in Rust, and wrapped by (most of) the other SDKs including .NET. I imagine this pattern will become more common for fat clients where it is desirable have a single implementat

I didn’t compare it with a modern alternative. I compared its debugging tools of Instruments of the same vintage, and pointed it out that last time I tried VS it couldn’t keep up with basic typing.

Sun managed it with Solaris (before Oracle undid that work) - indeed they had to create a license which didn't cause problems with the third party components (the CDDL).

Unclear, they certainly respond to the kinds of system standards that I would expect though. Things like emacs bindings.

The Adobe apps integrate fine (on macOS at least). I don't know about any of the others, but would assume that a cross-platform UI solution leads to a bad experience.

Microsoft serves ads though. I haven't looked through the terms and conditions, but I'd be amazed if it wasn't permitted for GitHub to give whatever they can glean from your data to their corporate overlord.

Everyone knows the electron apps even if they perform well - they’re the ones that don’t integrate properly with basic system services and don’t use native controls.

Sure. The non-supercharger alternatives aren’t much better though.

We are giving the same solutions. The difference is, I'm saying that it is a problem _today_ that these solutions do not exist, and the lack of those solutions means that EVs are not a viable solution for a lot of people _today_. If th

It's nothing to do with "gas mindset" - if I'm driving 1000 miles (not uncommon, welcome to Texas!) I'm going to have to stop to charge even the longest-range EVs along the way twice. One of those might be an overni

It doesn't matter what economic theory you dress it up in: chargers are often broken for months, and clearly not only are people not acting on a visual inspection, but aren't even acting on specific reports. As I understand it, th

The experience of charging a car without access to the Tesla charging network (using Electrify America-type chargers) is garbage and actively getting worse, because they aren't maintained properly. If a pump is broken at a gas station,

I remember hearing a talk in around 2014 where one of the leads from GDS said that Frances Maud made it his business to ensure that no one and nothing interfered with what they were doing. I’m surprised that lasted through the May/John
