I think the parent commenter did read that and their concern is that tournament chess has a touch-move rule (if you touch a piece you have to move it). This set is certainly a cool art piece, but not particularly functional if a player has

I'm one of those people :) My use case is running Android apps on my Surface Pro instead of having to buy a separate tablet. It works great for my purposes.

Older but still otherwise perfectly functioning iPhone models have also stopped working. Let's not get into a platform war here.

I've not found this to be the case at all. They only seem to care whether the app does what they want or not. Granted this is my personal experience, I can't say this is the case for every single user out there.

I'm really curious what the specific tells are. Do you have any specific examples? When using the apps on my iPhone, I just don't see how I could tell the difference.

I'm not so sure about that. All the people I know who are on those for-life medications absolutely hate the fact that they have to keep taking those pills every day until they die.

I imagine that they do grow in size, though? I'm having a hard time picturing a full set of my adult sized teeth fitting inside a newborn's skull with room for everything else.

Fair point. If that's the signal who the people financing the VC believe in, then I guess it makes sense them to follow along.

I know what you're getting at, but for the example of global warming scientists were publishing concerns as early as 1896: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1478644960862084...

Since when did we start apologizing for people in positions of authority forcing others to bad things?

"If I don't rob the bank, someone else will!" Or maybe we stop people from trying to force others to rob banks. Nip the problem in the bud. Why do you want to let managers get away with toxic behavior and then blame the subor

by knifie_spoonie 3y ago
Crazy idea, but maybe the manager trying to force engineers to do these things should be held accountable.
56.
by knifie_spoonie 3y ago
Managers are the ones with the authority to tell engineers what to do. If an engineer refuses, they'll simply be replaced with someone more pliable. See the Challenger disaster for a high profile example.

I've gone all-in on Flutter for mobile development, and have quite a lot invested in it. I'm sure quite a lot of other people have. If Google sunsets it, I'll be so pissed off. I'll never trust anything else coming from
