To me it was, of course everyone is free to see it their own way. Every social network seems to evolve along the same lines. It starts with a clear concept of what it is, it gets popular based on it, then it starts getting lots of people, a

Yeah. You do realize Apple regularly deletes outdated content on their site, or is this a new concept.

Focusing all your might on a single platform can give you reliability and even better performance, and is less work. Focusing on portability gives you a set of abstractions to build upon, that will take your time, reduce performance often,

Looking back at old Twitter rather reminds me how simplicity was its main selling point. No threads, no images, no long tweets, and so on. They've since doubled their length and add bunch of meta information on every post, rendering it

Netflix isn't out there kidnapping people to take photos for them for free, so WTH would "predatory" mean. "Hey you wanna come take photos on a few weddings for a show? We can't pay" "No" See? Simple.

You'd think the very purpose of calling it a "Graphical Command Line" would be that you're not restricted to a literal line of text. Just because it should be convenient to type and navigate with a keyboard doesn't

They do, yeah, good catch there. I gotta say 3D modeling/rendering/animation is pretty intertwined with scripting/programming these days. But I still don't find this very mainstream. It's a bit like the JS console i

Sorry but what programmers use is not relevant here. The trick is to bring it to mainstream audience in a way that's not awkward. The closest thing I've seen to mainstream terminal is the JavaScript console in browsers but... that

I like this because it's trying to be more than a classic terminal. And I hate it for the same reason, it repeats everything a classic terminal has, including the awkward syntax like a line that begins with ">" and paramet

IRC can go a long way to modernizing the experience without changing the underlying nature of the "terminal". I mean what is a terminal. It's chat with a bot we call "the terminal". We can look at chat apps and see

How likely is this attack over the Internet (rather than locally or intranet) you think? Realistically? Also wouldn't other mitigations stop it, like slowing down retry after 3 attempts, blocking after 10 or so.

You once again assumed the amount of variance matches exactly the amount of measuring error. But you didn't prove it. In my book, the jury is out. We take the scientific approach, yes? As for what particle physicists accept conventiona

I find it odd that people compare React and web-components a lot. Sure, superficially both have custom components. But why does that matter even? To me React's value is JSX and ReactDOM. I actually use JSX+ReactDOM without the rest of

Tell me how exactly have we ruled out varying charge on electrons when our tools show varying charge. You can say it’s the tools. But can you prove it?
