The software that really matters, like really matters (not talking even about something like Google Search or Gmail)... is usually like this, since it's built to be almost never changed, since changing it is so high risk that it&#x27

You can add features but you can't really change your default behaviors without alienating your existing user base. If they're suddenly thrown into some wacky thing that they don't understand they will flood you with bug repo

Amazing to see how few people actually think about this. I badgered my sister in law to not work from a laptop on a folding table months ago. She’s still at it but finally let me order her a full ergonomic setup within her budget (chair&#x2

But there are functional reasons to prefer Apple hardware as well. I use almost exclusively Apple hardware and I own one garment worth more than $30.

I don’t doubt and didn’t doubt that Tim Cook could make hundreds of billions of dollars. What I do doubt is that a Tim Cook led Apple will be able to do something like create the “next iPhone.” But, he may not need to.

Yes, the entire state apparatus bows to the whims of one man, which is almost definitionally a totalitarian state. We’re lucky, at the moment, that the totalitarian in charge has few concrete ideas and lacks the attention span to see throug

Nonsense, parental control can (and often does) block the installation of new apps. I don't need to be using Webkit just because I don't want my kid to install a 2nd browser.

When you're trying to keep a company of 100,000 employees secure, you can't have an approach that says "let's figure out where we need to remove MD5 and remove it." You have to set an easy to understand, consistent
