According to the article, their contract still stands as it's legally binding, so DC specifically still needs to abide by it as it can't be unilaterally revoked. But the rest of the world doesn't, so there's loopholes if

The worst part is the perversion of justice of the author being provably right yet unable to enforce his legally binding contracts as an individual against a well resourced company. Hopefully this sparks a copyleft movement of public freedo

This is it, I distinctly recall a reading a paper defining Waterfall as a thought exercise, with the author coming back years later to clarify that there can never be such a thing in software development. The Wikipedia article for "Wat

This is most definitely a step I the right direction but as I'll always say, the one and only killer feature on mobile is Text Reflow. Being able to zoom into a long text and knowing you'll be able to read it without scrolling si

This happened to me just a few days ago. I tried to open a link in an app, which then tried to open it with an in-app WebView. Thus, the Cloudflare captcha loop of death. I could even see a "human verification failed" string appea

That's a loaded title that the site doesn't really address at all! What does it mean for a dialect to be correct? It may sound weird and we've wrong to Americans and such but Indian English is as valid as any other English di

I feel that programmers are the main audience that knows life can be better in software. A typical programmer might be so offended by Pinterest's awfulness that they'll look for any way to prevent it, knowing it can be done. Some

Title says [fixed] but that's only for DDG - which despite all the flaming it's getting, somehow did fix it while Bing has not (will it?). My unfounded theory is that Techdirt is effectively banned on some country and that leaked

I did not know this author before, and read about a quarter of the piece before realizing both that it was way longer than I expected, and that I was hooked on every word. > Captain Nico explains that the Nadir subscribes to something ca

Unrelated, but lately I find that I have a much harder time learning with metaphors than if educators and explainers would just speak directly about things. I had very terrible experiences learning physics because teachers would always reso

Something as simple as getting caught in rain and needing an emergency change of wet socks meant these convienence stores were lifesaving. Truly something worth emulating in other countries.

Absolutely not, dang's work is nothing short of miraculous and I don't know of any other forumlike place that's this civil at this scale. Hope he keeps at it in this way for a long time.

That's actually an incredible idea, I'll do something similar, thanks!

Soon as they do, I'm out. I actually like a lot of Reddit but it's literally unusable for me without a clean UI, just like Twitter. Every time I get a Twitter link I brace for a million requests before even getting to the short Tw

The only app I use to browse Reddit is old.reddit.com. It's still great on mobile if you have a browser with proper text reflow (ie. Opera on Android, since all others can't be bothered). But everytime I end up seeing the "ne

Absolutely, it feels like every industry is having a hard time, so focusing on tech seems to be nothing more than clickbait.

But not if you don't. Large servers tend to have information spread across many different channels and if you want to find out about something that may be in different channels, you have to search individually in each of them and that

And you can't even filter out spammy channels like bot command channels. On mobile it's particularly awful where if you look for a message's context, it's very likely you'll lose your "place" in the search

It is concerning that they feel notifying a problem on the status page hurts their ego. It is under no circumstances something personal, and ideally it should even be automated.
