You’re missing the point if that’s you’re take away because I’m saying is overly complex rules are more likely to harm smaller players than they are the larger ones given larger organisations have the resources and motives to work exploit l

I’ve never owned Bose nor Beats specifically but more generally I find bassiness is a desirable feature rather than a gimmick for dumb consumers. With room sized speakers it’s not a problem because you’ll have multiple cones dedicated to th

I’d have still expected them be writable because unlike CDs, writing a magnetic field isn’t destructive. But what I meant was whether cheap blank disks used a slightly different (cheaper) magnetic alloy with a shorter read/write limit

So have I. But I also remember plenty of floppies that I’ve written data to not even surviving the 30 minute cycle to college back in the 90s. Maybe consumer floppies were of a lower quality than published ones? I don’t know if that’s true

That’s nearly impossible to do though because the bigger the company the more resources they have to figure out loopholes and then to exploit them. And the more profitable exploiting those loopholes becomes thus the more tempting it is to a

Far more complicated and harms the little players far more than the current system. Any law has to treat everyone equally otherwise it’s always going to be the Disney’s et al who win.

I worked at a publishing company who had T1 for hosting their online content. What amazed me was how quickly that went from state of the art to pretty mediocre.

What moaners of Discord often forget is that setting up your own IRC channel and monitoring that isn’t the value add for the FOSS project. It’s an additional maintenance overhead. So if maintainers choose Discord because it is easier for th

I’ve seen recruiters “leak” a lot of “confidential” information from their clients saying “I’ve been asked not to share this but…”. I’ve always taken such messages with a pinch of cynicism but typically such messages are corresponded by pho

The multi-threading was probably part of the reason. SMP was quickly becoming more and more common place with even Power Macs having a second processor despite Mac OS 9 and it’s predecessors not supporting SMP (applications had to specifica

I did run BeOS for a period and it felt a pretty decent system to me. In fact it was my preferred platform for a good while.

I’m not annoyed. Just confused by the fact that you seem unable to grasp how to use a threaded forum.

Fair enough. I had you pegged as another one of those nutters but seems I was unfair in that analysis.

Yet there are comments here advocating that. I’m not saying it’s typical, I’m just saying why it’s dumb. I know when Zen Gardens was released. That fuck all to do with the discussion though. And can you please limit your replies to one thre

I know what the article is about. I’m not commenting on the article though. I’m commenting on the more extreme opinions in this thread. If you don’t care what those other developers do then why bother replying to me in the first place?

The Xbox has been hard to buy for plus Microsoft have been pushing PC gaming again lately. Thus I know of a few Xbox fans that have decided to shift back to PC gaming as a result. Compare that to the Switch which is selling significantly mo

You’ve posted the same comment twice so I’ll post my same reply twice: There’s plenty of comments in this discussion from developers saying they specifically don’t use <table> even for tabulated data.

If you read the comments, most people believed it was an honest mistake. What we didn’t agree with was that it was an excusable mistake. Microsoft have since acknowledged it’s not excusable and thus will rectify that error. So as far as I s

This isn’t just one person making a silly mistake. This is a catalogue of failings. Where’s the peer review? Are you suggesting that anything published in the main branch on Microsoft’s GH org gets commit without any branch protection? And

Debian doesn’t use pacman. Odds are it was Arch (though pacman has been ported to other platforms).

That doesn’t answer the question though. I doubt many developers would be in favour of using tables for layout over divs. however the same doesn’t apply for why one must use divs for tables (ie actual tabulated data) instead of tables.

I completely agree. Years ago when smart phones were just emerging, people made the same complaints about them too; saying you cannot walk and text at the same time like you could with the old feature phones with physical keyboards. I belie
