Seconded. Most recently I saw they'd done this to Blender (2.8) but it's happening everywhere.

Apple Books has so many of these ridiculous little incursions against good taste. Just to vent, I made a list of all the ones I found: http://macos-design-review.com/books.html It really does seem like software at Apple is

I wonder how it feels to write one of these emails. Is it done with gleeful malevolence? Or just a dispassionate "I think this wording will yield the most revenue"?

Is this kind of thing open to copyright or patent suits from Apple? I always wonder, with projects like this, how you can get away with doing such a close copy of a commercial OS.

Maybe that is the team-building. You know, give everyone something to roll their eyes at together.

1-based indexing I can live with. The fact that the "array length" operator stops at the first nil in the array is what makes Lua unusable for me. Edit: 1-based indexing I can live with. The fact that the things you create with {a

The silver lining is, now that we've all lived through Apple's Jobs years, we at least know that that kind of quality, consistency, attention to detail, etc. is possible. Sooner or later somebody will take all the good ideas from

One benefit of encrypting public information is that ISPs can't mess with it by inserting ads and such.

Isn’t YouTube banned in China? If so it’s not surprising the kids there don’t respond as strongly to the idea of being a “YouTuber”.

"Domain join instead"? That's bizarre, it's not even proper English. They really don't want anyone to click there.

It's poorly implemented too -- even if you're requesting a blog's RSS feed, Tumblr sends you that Oath screen unless your user-agent is on their list of approved RSS readers.

Google's AMP code creates an intentional 8-second delay if you're blocking their tracking scripts. Could be that.

Something I noticed about the high-frequency complainers among my customers is that almost all of them got the product for free.

How do you use it? I'm often in a situation where I'm not sure whether it's best to allow NULL, "", or both. If a string column is nullable, should you always disallow ""? Numbers don't have this prob

One thing that intrigues me about null is that conceptions of null seem to divide into two main families. In the first, a type nullable(T) is constructed from a type T by simply adjoining a "Null" value to it. So, a nullable integ

Would you consider that a non-standard usage of "shelter"? I had a quick look online and I'm seeing definitions like: a position or the state of being covered and protected a shielded or safe condition; protection a place giv

I wouldn't even consider prison to offer "shelter" since you're locked in there with violent people.

In the UK, official signage often calls them that, but it's not something ordinary people tend to say.

Our visa options can be fairly limited if we don't have 4-year degrees.

Another recommendation: for musicians, Kenny Werner's "Effortless Mastery" talks about this as applied to playing piano.

This is a bit like that scene in the Godfather where the mafia smash some reporters' cameras, then chuck some money on the ground for them. Yeah, it's a bit classier than common theft, but it's not exactly kosher either.

At the very least, your mail client has to ask you for your email password. Might sound like I'm splitting hairs but I don't think most users have a strong sense of why that's different from Facebook doing it. And with wizzy
