Not really - the SC declined to hear Epic's motion to vacate a 9th circuit stay on the ruling while Apple appeals the ruling in Epic's lawsuit against them. We haven't even gotten to the appeal part, yet.

Open plan offices suck, no doubt, but that's not why I don't want to go back to one. WFH means my whole life doesn't center around my job and its schedule. I'm home for when my kids go to and return from school, I can ma

It's a good thing that you warned them off, or they might've accidentally gone and done something interesting or enjoyable.

I've wanted to integrate a cap gun into a keyboard, basically a an old fashioned roll of paper caps and solenoid to whack 'em, triggered by exclamation points.

Basically. I liked mercurial better than git, but GitHub's become the center of gravity for a lot of development.

They're still responding to press inquiries with poop emojis, right? Linda and maybe an overworked assistant are comms at this point.

Nah, there's a book deal on this a few years down the line, however it pans out. I'd be day drinking my way through it, though.

It looks like they've at least discovered a novel high temperature (relatively speaking), low pressure superconductor. That does lend some credibility to the original claim, and perhaps reproduction of the result is trickier than origi

The marginal cost of a lawsuit and buying Twitter isn't much more than just agreeing to the sale, and there's a tiny chance of being able to get away with paying less. Why not just fight it out in court? I've seen some sugges

Yeah, it's true, you can't buy a general purpose computing device from Apple anymore. Apart from the Mac.

Please don't do that. People with different ideas aren't shills - sometimes people disagree with you, see things that you don't or just understand the situation differently. It's a bullshit way to dismiss people's o
