The packaging always draws comments from cashiers when I buy them. People seem to respond well to the idea of a simple ‘ingredient list’ right on the front.

I imagine because Swift famously touted the ability to use emojis as identifiers.

You're generalizing about a group (C++ pundits) in the same way that the author generalizes about another group (the Rust community). There are C++ experts who display modesty, just as there are members of the Rust community who displa

I’m curious: why should one not rely on the BBC as a primary source of news about Britain?

I think you’re conflating something you like with something that is convenient. You may like to walk several miles to work, as an example, but that is certainly much less convenient than driving to work. The edge streaming services have in

By “removed” do you mean “occluded”? If you have access to the screen but not to the sensor array, you can use a passcode. This is obviously very difficult to do when the phone’s in your pocket, so that’s a very small regression in usabilit

One could argue that the iPhone is bad at 'openness', but that seems to be a non-factor or at least a negligible factor to at least some very large percentage of consumers.

To be fair, the messaging about open source/free software/GPL/Linux being cancerous was Steve Ballmer's. Steve Ballmer is no longer member of Microsoft's board of directors and his past comments don't really sp

The links are also indistinguishable from text, at least on iOS.

The defaults ensure that websites that do absolutely nothing to specifically accommodate the iPhone X work just as they did before.

One alternative to writing struct tags by hand is to write a little generator code to map the field names from, say, a reference .json, then calling `go generate` as part of your build process. I've wondered whether a wrapper library c

Go's HTTP server handles each request in its own goroutine, and any panics encountered are automatically recovered from. Nothing special needs to be done to prevent a panic from taking down the server.

Can you elaborate on "piss poor"? Are you referring to empty interfaces, or...?

An interesting argument I hadn't considered. I wonder, though, how genuinely impactful bean quality is for the end product. It's well understood that it's impactful to some degree, but do premium roasters need the top 10%, or

We aren't. Like with any other plant, there's a relatively hard limit on the availability of land suitable for arabica's growth (premium coffee is almost exclusively arabica), which will shift in one direction or the other as

I think it's reasonably fair to say that so far it hasn't, but could it? If not, to what would you attribute the fundamental roadblock? I'd argue consumers themselves, but I don't know if that's really just a cop-

There is! But not within walking distance of my office, unfortunately (I'm in L.A.). Blue Bottle is just down the street, and Stumptown is just too far to realistically walk to on a short coffee break-type timetable. So this news is

I realize that, but, as I said, the leaks tend to come not from Apple but from their suppliers and partners. Much of the iPhone X was known prior to the GM leak, including its overall design, construction, display notch, camera and sensor s

The leaks tend to be a consequence of their supply chain not being able to keep tight lips more than anything else. One approach to combat that would be to announce a product well in advance of production, but then you have announcements fo

Not necessarily true. There's still quite large amount of video (or film) content adapted from wider aspect ratios that has been thoughtfully framed with the expectation that it will eventually be squeezed into a consumer device-friend

To my knowledge you can't stop, per se. If you're savvy you can avoid seeking credit from any institution that pulls Equifax, by asking from what CRA(s) your report will be pulled and simply walking out if they tell you they pull

A benchmark of how quickly a development team produces value has no relevance whatsoever to whether a language can, or should, be more aggressive at function inlining. These two notions are orthogonal. The benchmark detailed doesn't ne

Why $1,000? And how would you prove damages equaling that amount?

There was no mention made that unfreeze PINs were leaked. When you freeze your report with the three CRAs, you are given an unlock code or PIN needed to unfreeze it.

To that end: if you're an HN user with the last name "HHHHHH" and with a Social Security number ending in 000000, don't worry about enrolling. I very helpfully took care of it for you!
