Every time someone says there’s really nothing that stands about php I roll my eyes. Php usually competes with JavaScript and python, all three being dynamic languages. First of all, php is faster than python, and ruby and probably most dyn

This is actually impressive and the kind of complex solutions that I hoped an AI could come up with. Imagine if you could tell it to give you as many paths to solve a problem as possible. Imagine this being used in physics, to figure out co

“ The elephant in the room but everyone is forgetting is - how much does Reddit pay its users for content? ” I have to say I’m not a fan of reddit, but you could also ask the question: how much do users pay to access reddit? The web has mad

Interesting that people were mocking “scripting” languages when you have revolutionary stuff like openAi being developed in python. I don’t, however, love Electron. I’ve built a couple apps myself with it, it’s just that the DOM is too slow

I don’t use windows, I mean the column view in Finder: https://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mac-os-x-fin... Browsing the full path of a file using columns is extremely useful (at least to me a

I have to disagree. There’s nothing like column view for windows. The “address” bar in the windows file manager is very useful, though. I’ll give you that. But other than that, I find Finder better. Finder also has tabs (I don’t know if win

Auto play is disgusting, especially with videos on websites. I cannot imagine why anyone would think auto playing media is the “correct thing” to do.

OS X is better though. Been using it exclusively for quite a while now and my experience has been very smooth. I’m extremely thankful I don’t have to use windows anymore.

Not really. When I was a kid in the mid 2000s I remember the family computer was hella slow. The menus did not pop up instantly. You probably used it on a top of the line machine. For a lot of us, windows 2000 and xp was sluggish and slow.

“ That's what a patent is though. Protection for the idea, not the implementation.” So in theory an evil corporation could patent popular design patterns? Can a company patent the decorator pattern?

I’ve always wondered. In cases like your Facebook example. What prevents Facebook from giving a different source code instead of the actual code? Like if they were using a patented code, they could in theory quickly write some new code and

Huh? Apple and Android (google) are for profit companies and are literally competing against each other. One of the iPhone’s biggest selling points is iOS. Why does the author think Apple would want to share a single, unified interface with

Why would you need evolutionary selection if we’d be in total control of our species? In theory we’d be able to adapt our bodies as needed, manually. I get it, for example, in botany where genetic diversity is crucial for the survival of a
