In my experience, the Homebrew package registry is bigger and fresher than MacPorts. It also supports GUI apps, and it's much faster because it uses binaries by default. I suggest MacPorts work on catching up in these ways if they want

You seem to think that you profited by sheer force of will and that no luck was involved. Evidence suggests there is an enormous amount of luck involved, in that the best startup investors still fail to profit most of the time. Without know

I didn’t think this was niche, I’m pretty sure this has been an iPhone feature since day 1. I used to trigger it by mistake on the small screens. It’s also not really a critical gesture, it’s a power user feature like keyboard shortcuts o

That's incredible. How do they measure that? Does their CI somehow measure power impact on a set of real devices?

Ah, yes. The utilitarian angle is important, Rawls is more of a deontologist.
526.
by jolux 5y ago
Isn’t this just Rawls’s theory of justice? That the inequalities that exist in a society should be arranged to benefit the people who have it worst?

Yeah. I’m not saying it’s perfect, there may actually be some limited use for blockchain technology, but casting it as an alternative to the modern liberal state beggars belief.

Right, but the government is not just some unaccountable third party that sits between you and the rest of society. It is meant to embody the society, and, in a democracy, represent its interests effectively.

by jolux 5y ago
All of the examples of having to trust the government in this article neglect the fact that trusting the government is not just trusting the government, and it’s not just the government storing a deed or giving you a Social Security Number

Yeah, I guess my concern is that a lot of developers don’t really seem to understand the difference between semantics and style.

by jolux 5y ago
I believe there are accessibility problems with using divs and spans where a more semantic element would suffice.

Well, charging an increase in rent without making an improvement would suggest that the value of the land has gone up, that increase would be taxed away, and so they wouldn’t be able to increase profit by raising rent. Of course, you do hav

It should be costing them trust not to push it when they should though. A trustworthy company will err on the side of pushing it. AWS is a near-monopoly, so their unprofessional business practices have still yet to cost them.
