And it can disappear tomorrow if they developers so choose. Maybe instead it would be better to say I miss the days when I had some control over my apps. Of course I know excalidraw is open source, so someone could just fork it if the devel

Someone once pointed out to me that Transformers cartoons are essentially toy commercials. I know this now but my twelve year blissfully did not. So maybe you are just referring to the loss of innocence that comes from biting a fruit from t

I do not agree. I just think people truly don't know what they have until it's gone. And I also think our minds are good at forgetting the bad parts when we are thinking back.

Facebook would have to be deemed guilty to be fined. > She claims to care about making social media better but probably just wants an easy payout. Why do you assume this? Do you know her, or are you just using your own moral character as

Well the argument is that you can enjoy the financial benefit of your creation for only twenty years, and while I understand why you would disagree, I still think that is fair.

If they have the ability to create something like Star Wars, my own personal plan is that they don't sit on their ass for twenty+ years reaping the benefits of a single achievement. Really, given all the need there is in the world, thi

The employee is deaf. He needs an interpreter to understand the customer's speech. He does not need the interpreter to respond to that speech. He would be performing his job. Your drywall analogy is insulting.

Write once test everywhere was the problem. If you wanted a fully tested app, you have to bundle a JRE, and if you are bundling a JRE then backward compatibility is not as important.

My anecdotal life experience as a person in their mid-forties: my happiness depends upon a balanced daily rhythm. And I need things I "have" to do to capture that rhythm. With too much free time I just fall apart. It feels good fo

I think schools more and more will have to focus on teaching kids how to play and live without technology. These schools already exist of course, but I won't be surprised if someday they become more mainstream. Kids don't need to

I have been a writing teacher, and sometimes the question comes out: why write? This is why you write. Not to be famous, not to be published. But so that you can leave something for the ones who loved you. So that you do not just become a f

If you are ever on the hiring side of the fence, you will have a better understanding of what people are looking for. Companies generally have a stock way of describing the qualifications for programmers, but what they actually want is some

I wish I could give credit to whoever originally wrote this, but I forget. Anyway, the quote is: We fall in love the most with those we know the least. EDIT: I remember the writer was referencing James Blunt's "You're Beautif

For me it was the earliest computer games (Adventure, Infocom Games, Wizardry). But having Basic (or was it always QBasic?) installed was also a fun reason to mess around with the computer. My Dad worked for IBM, and he brought home one of

Can someone ELI5? I understand that a person can now generate an image with the same hash as an illegal image (such as child porn), but I don't understand how they can get it on someone's phone and I don't understand why some

There are deer feeders that kill ticks. This solution seems more humane then trying to kill most of the deer.

Again, I am not a network engineer and so I am a little of my depth. But I will respond in the hopes someone will educate me if I am wrong. While UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII, it did of course require programmers to add support

I'm not the person you are responding to, but from what I understand the main issues are: ipv6 is not backwards compatible with ipv4. Consequently adding support for ipv6 requires a dual stack solution (since supporting ipv4 is a must)

I think it is more important because it is a broken IF statement in a language. If IF statements were broken in a popular open source language, I am sure it would be discussed thoroughly here and fixed ASAP.

https://xkcd.com/1172/ That noted, a broken IF statement does seem like a very serious compiler bug. And especially since the correct behavior occurs on Macs, I think a fix is necessary. The language should be consiste

"field matures" is the operative phrase. Flash jumped in a void that was left by a pretty nonfunctional html experience. But it was proprietary, presumably was an energy hog, insecure, and was essentially a stand-alone experience

Defining the sw dev domain is a problem. Because I would argue that includes the social/human interaction domain as well.

Paul Graham's thoughts on lisp are worth sharing. I think he as inspired a lot of lisp progammers over the last twenty years. http://paulgraham.com/lisp.html

I always wonder how much the split between .deb and .rpm had to do with the names. They serve the exact same function to the point where there is translation software from one to the other and vice versa, but the names themselves promote th
