Then is this not the perfect opportunity for right and left to agree that monopolies are the problem? If Google was split into four companies with three or four viable competitors, might not those new competitive marketplaces contain some c

I would just like to remind folks that depositions are a hostile form of communication. As many other lawyers can tell you, choosing to adopt these techniques with friends and loved ones will generally be perceived quite poorly. And without

I pay for a pro plan even though I barely ever remember to log in just because I want to make sure this thing sticks around and continues to get love.

I'm horrible at designing UI too. That's simply not the job of building modern interfaces across multi-disciplinary teams. I care far, far more about data-structures, eventual-consistency, data-design, and types than CSS and divs.

I mean sure, yes, there's also programmers out there who've been working for years and look at me like I'm speaking in tongues when I talk about closure. The author's casual arrogance about "pixel pushers" only

The problem is not quite Google's behavior. It's legal for the same reason it's legal for you to not allow someone inside your house for bad reasons or no reasons at all. The problem is that we've allowed digital marketp

I know you are the pro-Russia person, but the pro-China people say the same things when folks like me consistently criticize large companies and celebrities for the same reason. Please assume good faith here.

Apple's "PWA" support is about as good as Microsoft Office's Apple support in the 90s. I strongly suspect for the same anticompetitive reasons.

Is WSL still opt-in? Something to be aware of for power users, but most Windows users are never going to know about or figure out how to turn on WSL (at least as of the last time I tried it).

I wonder now much C++ matters here. I rarely reach for functional patterns when the language I'm using does not provide proper constructs for readable, declarative code like pattern matching, nominative discriminated unions, and pipe o

You have case law for this claim? Or hell, I'll take a quote from your "source" you think supports it. (that's a trick question: No such case exists. What you say is not the law -- for anyone interested in a more-enterta

Not op or linked post, but AWS sends a message N minutes before it shuts you down. You just turn that msg into a in-game countdown. I always wanted to go after an auto-switch style system but never got that far.

Typeorm does not scale to large datasets. Real nice for MVPs. Just a warning. Hydration times explode for lists and joins that postgres barely registers on the query side, and hydration is blocking.

Perhaps I misunderstood, but the article says Amazon already does not pay for egress to Cloudflare. But Amazon still charges their customers as if they did. Did I misunderstand something?
