Apple preventing the sale of a product != Apple not selling a product. I don't ask Apple for permission to visit a website on my iPhone. Why should I ask their permission to install applications? Would it be so awful if I were allowe

Some of them are pretty clever and could have easily become slang given enough time. My first result was "upboard" which describes all the wood on a sailboat that is above the water.

I've been wondering a lot recently if folders make projects better or worse. For example, when I write a library its usually very simple. There's a single directory which contains all of the source files. When people use the lib

I am but more broadly the movement toward legalism and the ad-hoc justifications wrapped around it. Cutting to the chase... You have been describing disparate impact as a philosophical principle in and of itself. Whereas, in reality, dispa

He's convinced himself that a contentious (re: Clarence Thomas and crew) legal precedent is actually a moral, philosophical, or logical position to hold. Disparate impact is a matter of practicality. It isn't how a person should

I recently bought the 2020 Macbook Air after breaking my 2017 (18?) Macbook Pro. No touch bar, new "magic" keyboard. Keyboard is great. I think I still prefer the chiclet keys but these are close enough. Function row is far sup

Also, spare me the asinine "you're free to speak on public property" responses. Public discourse has de-facto moved into private custody. There is no "escaping it".

I, for one, welcome corporate censorship of the public discourse. Because if there's anyone I can trust its my local, multi-national brand. I love you brand!

I agree with you. Erlang is not as hard as people make it out to be. However... Look at this piece of code: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/blob/master/src/r3.erl#L32-... In this example the keyw

I like erlang. But erlang's syntax doesn't do it any favors. Might as well use elixir. Still the beam. I also don't think the beam's benefits are necessary for the vast majority of software which makes it perma-niche.

My initial response to this is... duh. How many governments have ordered people not to work . Is it surprising that all those people would then file for not working benefits? Of course not. Its an artificial unemployment spike (provok

It has less to do with management style and more to do with governmental construction. New Zealand is a unitary state. The US is a federal state. There are concrete divisions of power and certain expectations of national power from both

Again not making a value judgement. I think we agree that people preferring cash over stock options is understandable and normal. You should probably direct your comments to the OP.
