It’s soft power vs. hard power. Everyone has an amount of measurable soft power and a measurable amount of hard power in different spheres. Soft power is how much everyone wants to agree with you, while hard power is how much everyone has t

If I pay someone, I want them to do something for me. Simple as that. You may be fine giving away money but I’m not. And as someone already said, local government is still government. Both are government. Both are weaker than before. And I’

I have to disagree with you too. Government is more weak now because people have become very distrustful of it (reasonable given Vietnam and the events since). Because of that, the government has a lot less teeth nowadays to implement polic

I think it’s an ass move if you consider this as an one-time isolated incident but in a greater context of encouraging future entrepreneurs to invest in creating these kind of things, it’s a lot more complicated.

Sure it might be hard for the contributor to be sure, but it’s even harder for the repository owner.

How do you differentiate that opinion from “skeumorphism came first so we all collectively got bored of it” and we like the current designs more simply because they’re newer?

To me adjusting the level of enforcement is like the “fine” knob. It absolutely needs to be adjusted according to the situation. But it’s not the “coarse” knob. You can only turn enforcement up or down so much before you need a paradigm shi

From my experience, the libraries and frameworks that have well designed primitives (and ideally primitive interop within the community) are the ones that generally “win.” And also my experience, very few libraries and frameworks are built

I guess some people just don’t make mistakes. Wish I was one of them.

That’s a pretty bad metaphor imo. It’s more like either I spend $500 on this device and own it or I spend only $100 but have to deal with ads. Yeah I hate ads but I can use that extra $400 to fix my leaking roof.

Sure, but those are symptoms of larger problems. Increasing enforcement is an act of hiding the symptoms and it does not and will never solve the underlying problem. For example, I encounter far less discrimination and less racism living in

I actually vehemently disagree and will fight to allow people to break the rules. I love that gray areas exist. Gray areas are where art and ingenuity is born. Gray areas allow me to break the rules at work to push improvements. Gray areas

Yeah I think it’s ridiculous that people forget that we only got to this point because previous generations built a framework which we currently live in and where many of us can prosper. If we want to abandon that and go back to the centuri

I disagree. I actually think it’s a complicated problem because there’s so many issues that have to be solved all at once. What has been happening is that someone writes a build tool to solve a specific problem that they have but they negle

It’s not only that. Vimeo explicitly markets itself for a more niche market and has since the early days of video streaming. I don’t think they ever wanted to be YouTube. Sometimes carving out a niche IS the business goal.

That isn’t the only competition though. I have a lot of headphones and my favorite pair hasn’t fallen apart in 10 years.

Pretty much everyone is like this somewhere though. Not many people eagerly learn in every domain.

Kids have been jumping fences for millennia. That said, I did know a kid that had charges pressed against him when I was in school so things weren’t necessarily innocent back then either. He was admittedly an idiot and borderline malicious

The clincher is whether it can be solved. Infrastructure is so crucial to every society, every process, and every organization and yet it is also so often not given the attention that it needs. .

Cynicism is destroying discourse. Everyone thinks that everyone else is dumb and no one respects the shoes that other people walk in.

I have no idea how we’re ever going to achieve trustworthy self-driving cars before we achieve full artificial intelligence. I know how I react to different situations is fully contingent on recognizing what I’m actually looking at and bei

I think that is a major false equivalence. Assuming that you don’t have a problem, you can always curb your drinking. You still have to get to work. Many jobs, especially low income ones, will always have to remain in-person. In many places

Deliveries would just get more expensive if fuel got more expensive. And I consider delivery to be basic infrastructure that’s the backbone of everything from small Etsy shops to Amazon to B2B shipping, so I wouldn’t want delivery prices to

Having it transactionally linked would be more elaborate imo. Here they’re just detecting an order and storing it. They might be using this order to show what you’ve ordered recently on results or use it as suggestions on Google Shopping.

Shouldn’t be surprising if autocomplete results appear immediately after typing in the box. They didn’t magically appear from thin air for sure.
