The "choice" people want is the ability to easily mix and match a patchwork quilt of software from different parties, each adding one tiny behavior. Wayland doesn't do that: it makes it so almost every behavior people want mu

I mean, I hate a lazy "citation needed" FUD attack as much as (really likely way more than) anyone, but with a bit more context I do think a citation is needed, as the correct citation in the other direction is (as someone else no

Yeah: I am not responding to the article, or Raymond's surprise; I am responding to the comment of someone here annoyed at recent C++.

On the one hand you say it's dystopian, but you also seem to be celebrating it? ;P Maybe a show with a fanbase of 1 is in fact the best show in the entire world ;P. Regardless: I don't think you end up with no shared culture at al

The =default syntax might be new, but this should work the same if you use {}... I think this semantic has been the same the whole time I've used C++ (which seems to be a lot longer than you)? (Or like, is the issue with using the is c

I don't agree that this list has the attitude you describe--if anything, they just seem proud that they have many fewer of these corner case bugs than anyone else--so it is difficult to work with your example of the flight number. Thes

And, worse, it isn't even true, right? As Google keeps adding more and more DRM tech to Android, along with APIs that let apps ensure they are running on "legitimate" software, installing GrapheneOS isn't even a viable o

While I've seen it in tooling like markdown--with two being an endash--that's very very wide... I am very sure the convention has always been to use two hyphens for an mdash (which is even easier to type! ;P).

Sure, but like, that's how everyone is using MCP. If your point is that MCP is either fundamentally a bad idea (or was at least fundamentally designed incorrectly) then I agree with you 100%--or if the argument is that a model either i

I mean, it is easy to be sympathetic to something if you add the constraint that it must be perfect under the assumption that it could be perfect... the issue is that there is no way this wasn't going to be a leaky abstraction, and so

I mean, they did something, for sure, but they sure as hell didn't do "this" ;P. What they are doing is more in the line of not providing even hardware, much less software, which is an entirely different paradigm... like, the

This just seems like a tautology, as--from your description--it sounds like this is what I'd call a "q&a session", and so it may as well have become a "doubt clearing/solving session" because the teachers&#

The EU app store--even as a separate legal entity--doesn't operate independently: it takes its marching orders from Apple, Inc., and Apple, Inc. has been required to not do this thing to developers, not merely directly but indirectly e

Right. We get that's what's Apple is doing, but the question is whether it satisfies the injunction. FWIW, I will claim it does not: it should cover--at least for any developer in the United States--any app published by any Apple-

FWIW, the lawsuit went pretty far--all the way to an appeals court--but failed on what was ostensibly a statute of limitations issue that made very little sense and feels wrong :/. I still intend to write a giant article about it at so

FWIW, that was also my experience when Edge added this feature. It was particularly annoying as I did not ever want to use the feature. I guess Firefox wanted to be bug-for-bug compatible? :(
