   I'm sorry. I consider you either very sheltered from poverty, delusional or both.

   The issue is, a lot of the people at the top engage in business practices that actively disenfranchise people at the bottom. Their wealth actually comes from those people who have so little. Stop peddling this absolute fabrication that ther

   You're wrong. Fundamentally it requires redistribution and a complete change of mindset.

   > A decent company would drop $2000 on HDD, or a bit less on optical / tape media, and ship (rather than delete) the data to the customer they fired, at their own cost, or at the very least, at customer cost. A company which provide

   We used to have a reasonable welfare state in the UK, where the government took that duty upon itself. It's been wrecked by the current right-wing government.

   Better at sports .. but I bet there's a fairly even distribution between people who have money and don't. > In the future, we may view enormous disparities in wealth as evil as we do racism today. A lot of people already do.

   It doesn't mean pure aesthetics .. the way something looks affects it's affordance.

   We're talking about web design. If we consider art .. sculpture and painting do require planning, preparatory sketches or a maquette. Design thinking allows us to build and solve.

   Design is visual engineering .. development is software engineering. Both essentially involve solving problems.

    How it's built vs what it looks like.

    Counterintuitively, I'm okay with it .. but just because it solves problems I see as more important than purity in the codebase. Large FE projects often have multiple developers, which come and go .. and have differing levels of abilit

    A web developer shouldn't, but a designer should. Otherwise, why bother with design?

    To me, old fashioned means sticking to semantic principles and separation of concerns. (P.S. get off my lawn)

    The magic number version is completely unaligned for me. It could be a nice property; but it isn't ready for primetime yet.

    Call me old fashioned, but contaminating the markup like this—for something that's aesthetic—is a no no.

    No. This is a disingenuous line of reasoning. Once you buy a phone you are locked into using a specific marketplace, where Apple has complete control. This doesn't need to occur. An open marketplace or multiple marketplaces could be po

    This is and has always been the fundamental problem with Apple owning the app ecosystem.

    I think it's fair to call this reactionary; Sam Altman has played the part of 'ping-pong ball' exceptionally well these past few days.

    Are we talking about the same Microsoft here??!? Sheeeeh ... I grew up with Microsoft in the 80s and 90s .. Microsoft has zero morals. What you're referring to here is instinct for self preservation.

    Yes you're correct, thanks! Edit: apparently ALDI VS LIDL is an urban myth. It's ALDI that was split in two ..

    I'd imagine it wouldn't be very difficult to build language constructs that are able to denote when high parallelism is desirable; and let the compiler deal with this information as necessary.

    It was when people learnt how to make money from the internet. The corporatisation of net ruined it. Not much can survive the incentive of profit.
