If it's illegal to report on a government clearly acting outside the interests of its people, what are the legitimacy of its laws in the first place?

I think people care, but the "powers that be" are aware of our lack of power.

Tourism $$$. You can see many other sites that specifically allocate the majority of dig work to the future on the premise that our future technology will better be able to process and preserve our findings. I suspect that tombs in particul

ISIS formed in Iraq. The US finances many terrorist groups ourselves, so I'm not sure what your point is—nations are happy to take advantage of new powers regardless of how it conflicts with their propaganda. I don't know how you

Yea, Syria's a much better place now that those Russians have left.

If you're discussing authoritative, AP is what all these news rooms use, same as Bloomberg.

> I'm sure it's not great PR, but is it really likely this damages Apple in the long run? Why would you base your income on their platform knowing how they treat their users and developers? Seems pretty harebrained to me. There

Right, but this attitude allows neglecting any behavior that results in bad resource distribution as inevitable and immutable. That's not how economies work by all observation. Empirically supply/demand is insufficient to explain

Empirically, prices are set by the seller.

You'd also want BiDi for general-purpose "text" documents like markdown. There are many aspects of text rendering that aren't necessarily relevant here (think: word- and line-breaking) but directionality strikes me as a

If they were to target a native "full powered" editor it would make sense to first capitalize on core competency. This editor definitely isn't for me but it makes sense for Panic.

Like you I immediately had disbelief. However to most people assembling a pipeline like the one you indicated is equivalent to a new layout engine.... it struck me as normal to use "from scratch" here.

> That is to say, all things equal, the interviewer has most likely more incentive than the interviewee to go straight to the point, and thus perform a technical check early in the process. I would think that any "straight to the po

They must already have ridiculous margins; surely they have room to tighten their belts. I'd be more worried about apple integrating into the hardware people want.

Why is his strategy of giving away money so uncommon? Rich people certainly do not need their wealth.

You trivially can't see the damage it's done at all—some measure of success does not imply peak success.

Yea, but that's a terrible explanation for lack of basic accessibility in 2020. Literally just laziness. FWIW this is not a technical barrier; it would be absolutely trivial to associated blocks of non-flowed text with the layed out t

It's more than a little strange that isn't default behavior out of the box without specifying input. How do the authors think jq is used?

People often complain about homebrew's use of usr local without articulating what is lost.

Is PDF not supposed to improve on paper...? I'm rather surprised at the revelation that PDF is not accessible.

I was about to agree with you before I realized I use XeTeX, not TeX.

Sounds like a problem for your os to worry about. They don't even need to expose their internal runtime.

Sure, but even that is dwarfed by the equivalent problems in the ruby community. Most gems die after X years. Ironically some part of this must be explained by Python's enormous popularity.
