I think I understand what you are saying, but it seems to me that's not the point. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but what I was responding to is your statement which I read as "the difference between an abortion and homici

That's my point. If the only legal difference was "a fetus is a human life" that wouldn't be sufficient to consider it homicide. At least that's my impression.

If it was the only consideration that differentiates between a medical procedure and a homicide, euthanasia or the death penalty wouldn't be legal in some places.

I get the same impression when I have to use Windows. What in Debian amounts to "change a configuration file" is usually "install this (proprietary) program" in Windows. I guess it's a matter of habit and expectatio

While I like the idea, the problem is that bandwidth on mobile is limited and certainly not free. Also, this would be a battery killer.

It's weird that you have to be the one that reviews code when you don't know the language it's written in. Is this a small organization or are there any staffing limits? One possibility would be to take a Swift coder you trus

The plan is to release a version every six months and a LTS release every three years. If a business wants a stable version they can go with the LTS. I don't see how this changes anything from how it was done before.

Well, I'm not closing it out of spite (in fact, I'm not closing it at all, just voting to close, you need five votes to close a question). I'm closing it because there's a rule on SO that says that those kind of question

It's nice that in a discussion that is in part about being nice you call someone that downvoted you an idiot. I usually don't downvote answer that ask for 3rd party libraries, just vote to close. Your example is a bit borderline a

I wasn't talking about generics, I was talking about the `List` interface and its implementations (`ArrayList` and co). Don't they provide a common interface that doesn't leak like the rectangle/square example does? Also

I was talking about the impression that this is what will be called "Web 3.0". I know this has been pushed a lot, but nowhere in the articles you posted (or the other I read by myself) this is called "Web 3.0".

Where did you get that impression? I mean, it's quite a leap.

Actually the TL;DR should be "Yes, using one of this set of frameworks, and we won't tell you if any other framework can use it" since Microsoft declined to comment.

I would agree if people playing those same videogames in other countries did go on killing sprees at the same rate as in the US.

Ok, but from an engineering standpoint I see this as a bit shortsighted. I mean, shouldn't you care more about shipping a good product (i.e. developing something that doesn't thrash your users' resources) than ease of develop
