Is it though? Even the article itself goes to some length (almost half the article) to explain how Apple's already launching numerous envronmentally-friendly initiatives, and there's the free "iPhone 11 coming out on Sept. 20

I had a related discussion the other day with an acquaintance. We were explaining the different maths to my daughter, who is thinking about doubling up courses to get to calculus. My acquaintance (having recently graduated college for maths

I've seen you post this particular issue twice in this thread. Perhaps it's not the scrollbars' fault that setting an element's width to 100vw (which is 100% of viewport width) usually requires a scroll? The scrollbars a

When writing medical software, HIPAA was an ever-present monster forcing me to consider all potential ways we'd be under a company-ending event. Once your fine totals exceed $100,000, you're required to issue a press release detai

The big alternatives were: Perl if you had the technical chops and a host who'd basically let you have root access to the hosting machine (C/C++ worked this way too through CGI), ColdFusion which isn't really an alternative

It's even odder from the perspective of someone who actually lived through it. I'm guessing the way I feel now is similar to how people my parents' age felt with all the hippie culture appropriation my friends were doing in t

Right, except we were talking about moving everything to microservices a decade ago, and many things started moving in that direction. Enough so that the pendulum has swung back with articles talking about the downsides of moving to MSA. Di

This is not a good analogy because it doesn't map correctly to reality. Developers are required to agree to these terms prior to enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. I imagine this is more like that time Google tried to submit th

Same with CTEs. In the last year I've worked with both and they really change the game for nontrivial queries.

Either they're now filtering for this specific term for me, or I'm simply not seeing it. Basecamp.com is the first result for "basecamp" with 37signals.com being the second. I tried this with Chrome and Firefox with uBlo

Fair point, but it's inaccurate to say we can't make money off software we give away for free.

Red Hat, Canonical, Docker, Suse, and many others give software away for free, and make money from that same software.

Ok, I didn't watch it. I described it as "some teen drama series glorifying a girl who commits suicide" whenever the show was mentioned. I advised my kids (who are nearly adult age) that they shouldn't even bother with i

What's fun is that it's even the default on Windows Server systems. Why I'm forced to watch CSS animations on msn.com over an RPD session instead of defaulting to about:blank, I'll never know.

I'm surprised to see Toyota doing this again. I bought a 2010 Camry for my wife and the dashboard started melting into a shiny puddle of sticky mess within a year. It took 18 months to get the replacement because of the same sort of ba

I genuinely don't get it. Sure, you want some of that VC money for your startup, so you start building in SV, where the exorbitant costs of living and doing business necessitate taking VC money to even stay afloat. Do investors reall

That is truly unfortunate. Skype isn't great, but it's specialized and far better than Teams.

I could add so much to this, and in fact, recently closed a text file enumerating issues I had with Teams because I felt it wasn't a good use of my time, since I felt like I was the only one having problems with it. A few more points,
