> It's worse because it makes matters worse. To put pressure on people in order to get them to do as you want in politics is going to have the opposite effect of what you intend to achieve if the result is to isolate those that you

From Ayers to Wright, the right played the guilt by association game over the course of the last two elections. Did you complain about "blackmail" then? Or do the dynamics change when it involves groups? In that case extend the ab

If you consider the matter in the long-term, the sustainable model is the only approach that actually provides returns over time. At the end of the day the argument is everything now or a little now and a little later.

I like a happy medium myself. For whatever it is worth, I've found that despite an appliance-like nature, I can extend iOS with third-party and custom software to my satisfaction. The key point here is that I don't have to resort

I'm a technophile myself albeit one that has spent the better part of a lifetime interacting with non-technical users. Such experience has left me with impression that expecting end-users to do anything I would consider bothersome, or

Frankly a lot of people don't get the hype about having to install custom ROMs to make their phones behave in a tolerable way. People are always going to find computing on devices they don't normally use to be more difficult than

Have been using Karabiner for years. Works great if you have an "I set my drink too close to my keyboard" moment and need to make a spare PC keyboard work with your Mac to meet your deadlines. =D

Frankly without encapsulations inside of encapsulations, the author would have never been able to make this blog post. Reference TCP packets wrapped inside of Ethernet 2 frames as the basis of the entirety of the internet. I don't thin

I, for one, do want technology companies making ethically informed decisions. It doesn't mean they will always make the right ethical decisions, but it has a far higher chance of positive outcome than simply avoiding the matter altoget

Not kidding at all. There was a lot of noise during the transition on various mailing lists, as I recall. Even as an end-user the issue presented quite a few problems. While AVFoundation is generally a better API it remains less capable tha

I've uninstalled some software I've paid good money for as a result of this behavior. Further Comodo will net exactly zero recommendations from me until this behavior is rectified. Utterly intolerable.

While not the person to whom the question was directed, I'd offer that the move from QuickTime to AVFoundation (taken directly from iOS) & friends (CoreMedia, CMIO) was one such example. Core Media I/O was released a few years

While some of the examples are more apt, iPhone/iOS actually integrates a good deal of open source software itself i.e. Darwin, WebKit, LibDispatch, Core Foundation, Swift, etc. Further the openness of Android has been called into ques

That is true. I failed to adjust my perspective for the fact that not everyone has nearly thirty years of programming experience given I still consider myself an amateur. Still we should recall the utility gained in using the right tool is
