> Shorter lines also force you to write one param per line when calling a function. And this is unconditionally good why? Linus isn't wrong when he describes lines as a natural unit, already operated on by our tools and our brains.

To your point 4: "Defund the police" is one of the stupidest slogans ever invented. It is practically designed to make the argument easy to attack and to motivate opponents. The actual nuanced goal - Get police out of the business

That's a very simplistic way of looking at the world. It turns out that things are frequently more complicated than absolutist rules allow for, and the world isn't a series of black and white with bright lines between them. Most p

OpenStreetMaps attribution is visible in the UI; look at the bottom of the screen when you're selecting the mapping overlay.

Very much this. The original discussions around Swift talked about the value of being explicit rather than implicit and reducing surface area (for instance, no ++/-- increment/decrement operators). That goal appears to have been c

Fortunately, you're not the one they need to convince. The FAA is doing an investigation to see if they could have, and then they'll make a decision, rather than jumping to conclusions.

The module that's importing the header needs to know the state size. To do that, it either needs to see the struct declaration or be given the explicit size with the array approach.

"Specific teams in any organization."

They're not. Some random team within Apple is. Just like any other company, there are definitely teams that have a terrible culture along with teams that don't.

No, this is a "specific team within FAANG" problem. It absolutely happens at some teams in all of them; it also absolutely does not happen in others. That's the problem with having very large companies; the experience is

I doubt it's a bias toward apple so much as Apple's a large company with a diverse set of teams. There are definitely some teams at Apple that I would never want to work for; there are also some teams at Apple that are pretty aw

This is false. This would be true for "invasive weed", but adding the "most" qualifier without another modifier indicates a specific member, not any member of a set.

Apple already controls the entire photos pipeline on your device, and in fact all of the OS code. If they want total device surveillance, they've got it today. They're doing this because they are announcing it, because they thin

No, they're potentially reporting after some high threshold of matches. They explicitly say that individual matches do not reach that bar, although they do not actually say what "high" is other than the statistical claim.

Did you actually read the release? They will pop a warning when the minor sender attempts to send something that is flagged as nudity, or the minor receiver receives something that is, if enabled as part of parental controls for the ac

Don't use iCloud photos and no scanning occurs. This is a condition of the service, not of the device.

Is there any actual evidence presented here? This is someone who's repeating "But it’s important to remember that this is the same company that won’t encrypt your iCloud backups because the FBI put pressure on them.", for whi

An average tenure hides a good number of people with longer tenure than that. I'm personally a counterexample to your point, for instance, and I know quite a number of others on other teams at my company (one of the FAANGs). Turnover i

The derivative of the function is the rate of change in that function. The rate of change in atmospheric CO2 is the rate of emissions. This is modulo natural sources and syncs, of course, but CO2's half-life in the atmosphere is long e

Apple's effective tax rate is actually higher than many of its peers, and higher than the sector on average. All multinationals need strong tax enforcement, but this isn't actually one where Apple is really any worse than others (

You are badly misreading that graph. Emissions (black line) is the derivative of atmospheric CO2. The fact that they appear to line up doesn't mean what you seem to think it does; the increase in emissions is the cause of the increa

Nothing about your post confined the discussion to "similar" orbits; you were in fact responding to a parent describing a need for these to be precisely matched with a negation. While you're correct that there are orbital cha

This is fundamentally false. Witness the many conservation easement programs, or the agreements that have made possible many trail systems. There are absolutely systems of encouragement - many of which may not even be economic! - that cause

I suspect you'll find relatively few people who will use "genocide" to refer to the eradication of a culture without concurrent mass killing of the members of that culture.

That data isn't actually shared with Apple. It's used on device by the client applications for those services.

Do you really? Average conversational WPM is 150, from a quick search. I don't believe many people can type "far quicker" than that; most people likely can't even hit half that.

I had the same reaction to the Mistborn books, and my interpretation is that Sanderson really struggles when the plot and characters get "wide". The first book was tight and focused; when the characters graduated to a larger stage

100% this. "API is forever" is a saying for a good reason, and writing good API takes a lot of extra work and planning - and we still frequently get it wrong.
