This is totally untrue when you start building an application and care about superior interactivity and sophisticated UI/UX patterns

It's the chain not the internal hub. Rohloff can use either a chain or a belt drive. The belt drive is cheap, and works with other internal hubs (sealed planetary gear system), which are much cheaper (e.g. Shimano, others make them).

Great chain, but the Gates Carbon Drive is likely a superior technology. Europe has largely adopted it, but it is rare in the states. I have a Riese & Müller bike with a Gates Carbon Drive and it is absolutely lovely. Silent, but best o

You are not referring to rohloff, but the gates carbon drive, which is amazing technology. Rohloff works with either a chain or a belt.

lol — have you tried to engage, in a serious way, with the JavaScript ecosystem? It is a _dumpster fire_ to produce anything that is reasonably as interactive and complex as an iOS Application. I do agree, however, with the idea that some t

I don't think it matters. They get good margins on all their hardware. Some people will still need the pro hardware or can just switch, and then switch again when the 16" has ARM.

I hope Toyota wins this. They have sound manufacturing principles and have demonstrated them for decades and caused radical shifts in the way cars are made across the world — including in the US and in Europe. Much of what Western carmakers

Not only that, it still receives critical updates. v1.8.1 was just released merely 16 hours ago — https://github.com/angular/angular.js/releases . Also see https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/versi

It's dishonest because it doesn't offer a balanced view, merely articulating all the products Google has killed without offering any kind of insight as to _why_ they killed so many products or the fact that they didn't really

I think the core ideas are actually rather simple. In my opinion, the bulk of time studying calculus is memorizing _algorithms_ for conducting differentials and integrations and which algorithms to apply, say, to find the area of a solid; w

This is an incredibly silly characterization. There are a lot of reasons not to go after a public utility in a deeply punitive manner. With PG&E, for example, supposing the state sued them for billions of dollars and put them out of bus

That's not the point. The point is that you can discern intent if you are writing against the GNU implemention so one can trivially reimplement against BSD.

I disagree. BSD and GNU implementations differ. Because of this, it's easier to discern intent of long flags.

I'm not sure this is ideal for users, no? Each time something is deprecated (e.g. nashorn in JDK15), I have to go check the long term support schedule, etc. And I have to imagine it's much harder to maintain, creating the potentia

The average cadence, over the lifetime of Java, is actually something like a new version every 2.5 years. They have really ramped up.
