When I used Windows, I remember you couldn't create folders named "con", for compatibility reasons. It kind of sucked because it means "with" in Italian, and I often could have organized files within "with&quo

I agree with your point. I'd however like to add to this: "Users should think of themselves as a respectful guest, not an entitled customer". Lots of landlords that rent places for a living started using AirBnB. I specially e

Jesus, what a weak argument. So, you can't raise complaints unless you own and develop your own GitHub?

Hopefully, a keyboard that actually works, this time! I have no idea why even after the class action no one talks about how embarrassingly flawed their thin keyboards are. Mine (EUR 1799 laptop) broke after 2 months, was fixed by Apple, the

I can't find the macOS video. The announcement only talks about iOS. What am I missing? Is it not up yet?

I wonder what will happen to Atom, considering that Microsoft makes VS Code..?

> I think it just uses the power of the EU, a fairly big and strong organization, to intimidate the rest of the world to comply with laws that it really shouldn't have legal jurisdiction to enforce globally. They do have jurisdictio

How about Skype, though? People loved Skype so much, it was really a feat to make people hate it.

Jesus, so from Europe it's either "plain text site", or agree to tracking. Why (BTW, I would love to use the plain text version but it's very badly done and I just clicked "back").

You believe what you believe because you read European newspapers, which are anti whoever doesn't comply with what Germany says. Poland is absolutely NOT hostile to Europe, on the contrary (sorry, I couldn't find a source right no

I understand why a small percentage of startups could benefit from being in San Francisco and similar and want to enjoy the ecosystem, hire people, etc. However, I have no idea why any early-stage startup would go to France and last 3 month

Yes, definitely. I meant everyone that even talks about these things, like us for instance.

Not really. I have an ad blocker--AdGuard, paid but blocks ads in apps as well--so I'd just see the site with no ads. Now I have to be bothered with notices. But anyway--everyone is different. I only keep viewing websites that provide

I couldn't/didn't want to pass the privacy popup. Are we really at the point where if one does't agree to all kinds of nasty ad crap he can't access a webpage..?

by nkkollaw 8y ago
Amazing. But that's why everyone uses ad blockers. It's just unusable otherwise

The way things are going, we'll start whole services shutting down completely, just to avoid trying to handle people's data responsibly.

Why is everyone losing his mind over this!!? The law makes perfect sense, it's not that hard to be compliant, and businesses with good ethics will already be compliant!

Pretty awful. I guess they can afford it.

...and why would you do that? We'll soon get used to websites following good privacy policies, so your SaaS will just look less appealing to Europeans. Is it really hard paying attention to how you handle people's sensitive inform

If only they put as much care into making sure their new laptop keyboards did't start failing after 2 months, I might still consider spending 2-4 times as much for their hardware..

I'd welcome optimizations, but do we really care if an app is 50MB, in 2018? I see a lot of bashing against Electron because of the size and memory consumption of Electron apps, but at least on Linux Electron is a blessing. Many times

They could skip a version like PHP did. Among other reasons, since books and articles about PHP 6 had already been written long before PHP 5+1 came out, they went with 7.

Yup, good point. We also have no idea how many more there are, certainly FB wasn't warning anyone that their numbers might have been incorrect because of bots any time before getting rid of them..?

by nkkollaw 8y ago
I wonder how many were just bots during the election. My experience from running Facebook ads is that Facebook is crawling with bots. We might never know the actual numbers.

Personally, even a touchpad compared to a mouse will slow me down significantly. It's possible that I could be somewhat productive on a tablet in an emergency, but not as my main machine like Apple suggest people should do.

I've tried touch based UIs to do actual work, and I just can't handle it.
