I think that shitposting would be the opposite of what you want to do, insofar as doing things that get you downvoted would lower your karma.

Comment in subreddits without those restrictions for a bit. E.g. this list: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/wiki/index/newusersubs/ I can see how it's frustrating, but the communities you&

It seems fine to me. If your app is using weird edge cases of markdown syntax, or extensions, it should probably specify a different UTI. If you’re pretty much just doing the level of markdown in the average rich-notes app, that’s pretty in

There's a "type" field in the spec, defined as: "The UTI of the text.* file. E.g. set to net.daringfireball.markdown for Markdown. This field should default to net.daringfireball.markdown to be backwards-compatible with

There seems to be a dead person on a nearby roof, who the news is claiming was the shooter, with an interview with someone who was outside the event saying that they saw said rooftop-person get shot presumably by the secret service. https:

There's three different assassination attempts on major-party candidates in the 70s (Ford twice, Wallace once), none of which propelled them to victory. Situations are quite different, of course.

The election rests on the "undecided voter", which is a person I have a really hard time understanding at this point. So yeah, what effect will this have? Damned if I know.

In the short term perhaps, but with four months to go I doubt it'll have staying power unless Trump can ( miraculously given his personality) avoid any other scandalous story about himself cropping up. Relatedly, the US election timef

It's in the same category as salt, which I'd kinda expect to be in the 11-things "secret recipe", but which isn't a herb or spice.

I don't think that slavery and fiddly details of how regulations are interpreted are really comparable. Morally or practically.

It would be the funniest "textualist" outcome, certainly. Every time I hear some disparaging comment about "the penumbra of the constitution" from the conservative justices, I can't help but roll my eyes because of

That said, it's also valid for Congress to decide to abdicate its powers. We've had 40 years of Chevron deference, during which time Congress wrote laws expecting that this is how they'd be interpreted. If they didn't

The court's previous ruling on this was that you couldn't make "being homeless" illegal, and so laws against things like sleeping in the park were only valid if there was a reasonable alternative available. Generally thi

Depends. The actual rule being "violated" isn't that the app can't contain the string "itms-services". Rather it's: Guideline 2.5.2 - Performance - Software Requirements The app installed or launched

It would have been wild if they'd let this one continue with standing, since this is the case where the people suing were a bunch of anti-abortion doctors whose argument for how they were harmed was that they might hypothetically hav

I agree up to a point. Credit card fees are pretty low, overall, so a business deciding to charge me a few percent more if I pay with AmEx vs Visa feels like they're just being petty. But with the App Store, it's a significant chu

Yeah, we weren't thinking that Bartender had been stolen somehow, which is what this post is mostly addressing. Rather it's a question of whether we can trust the people who've legitimately bought it, particularly given a h

Its core feature is a non-cosmetic change: it hides the menubar app icons, and then shows them on-demand. The ability to make cosmetic changes to the menubar is a comparatively recent development.

Bots from big companies like Amazon, which is who the author is complaining about, do tend to respect it. In fact, it's listed in their documentation that the GP linked to that they will. They could be lying -- but why bother?

I think it's worth viewing through an addiction lens. Some people have addictive personalities, and their brains work differently when presented with things like this. I can have just one drink, or play just a bit of a video game. Bu
