B isn't the argument being made by diversity advocates, that's just the strawman created by people like yourself. You can fix it by changing it to b) Men and women aren't allowed to compete based on merit and women need

Holy shit, I had no idea there's a 6th gen, AND it came out in 2014. I thought they were still using a handicapped A5.

I can understand why, I feel like the Chrome team has announced 3 or 4 times over the last 5 years that Flash was going away, but the only change was that you had to click to play it, and the other announcements seemed useless.

Maybe I've spent too much time on Twitter, but once you find a decent small group of people/comedians to follow, it becomes easier to find others like them since they tend to all follow each other. I now follow over 900 people, an

If you show up in a random hospital with an injury or disease, they are already obligated to provide care, it's just you're directly responsible for the bill. The individual shouldn't be paying.

Once you get past that point, though, you're faced with your personality type. In my 20s I loved driving, I had my radio, complete privacy, my 1.5 commute was tolerable. Now I'm in my 30s, and I hate my hour spent in the car every

Right, and case-insensitive is a harder problem to tackle.

I think your comment reveals a narrowness of perspective on how much things can change. I didn't claim you can do that kind of work on an iPad now. You will be able to do that kind of work on something running iOS (or its successor) in

iOS 10.3 was a hell of a test-run for case-sensitive filesystems. On the Mac side, we've got potential case-insensitivity, so I believe the case-insensitive version of APFS is the upgrade to keep an eye on.

Swift is an interesting anomaly in that the incentive to use it is so great, that tens of thousands of devs are willing to put up with the growing pains.
