Good point. I've only had to run an iPad app on my mac once and it worked fine with normal input but I'm sure there are at least some people that depend on or could get good use out of better interop.

I worked with C++ at my last job and now again for a side project with a partner. People not using `this` is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Something tells me the intersection of the "you people" trying to reduce car dependence and the "you people" arguing to make cars bigger and heavier is not a large one. Increasing car size (sometimes) increases safety fo

People miss this so often when they respond to arguments to reduce car usage with "I need a car because of xyz reason" where that reason probably doesn't apply to most people, certainly doesn't apply to all people, or on

I don't think it follows from the fact that most people drive (buy) cars in the US that they actually prefer it. Corporate lobbying and politics have ensured that you can't function in the vast majority of the US without a car.

I asked it to create an ASCII art banana and the result was hilarious. It then tried to explain it by elaborating that the 'O' was a curvy letter and represented the curves of the banana.

You still have to prompt this code and you still have to verify the code works and fix it when it doesn't. People who use more basic autocomplete probably have it "writing" a double digit percentage of code, I don't thi

I don't think Microsoft has much incentive to make creating servers easier than it is; there would be somewhat less incentive for players to buy Realms if setting up a server was just a click.

Ok preferring to support local agriculture is one thing, and probably admirable in many cases, but how much of an idiot does someone have to be to stop eating produce because it comes from Mexico :facepalm:. Being less healthy is really sh
