Neither pixels nor ems are the right solution, and a side-effect of an era of low-resolution screens, what we need is real physical units, and not just for fonts, but for every UI element. I should be to say that a button is intended to b

The “relativeness” comes from time, not from us. Judging the curve today , the past looks flat and the future looks steep. In 5 years the same will be true: today will seem flat and the future will seem steep — that’s the point of OP sho

Careful when you read and modify it, since it’s not actually an open source license, you can poison yourself if later in your career you decide to write a new thing in the same space. Someone could come and argue that you are writing a der

It's interesting that this is kind of a constant .1x * 10x = 1 cycle we repeatedly go through with new platforms. We rarely realize the cost of a new development platform in the fact that we often have to start from zero with documen

Yeah absolutely — you are creating truly scarce value in that case through an external means (just like an in-game card that lets you do things in the game others can’t do, vs.- “pure collectible” that does something: I tweeted about this h

The question is whether anyone cares about the scarcity. I think the more complicated the item, the less it makes sense perhaps. The more utility in the item, the less I care about a separate ID number associated to it, I would think. For e

I can’t imagine anything closer to “selling THE product” when it comes to Linux than AWS EC2. It’s Linux as a service on different virtual hardware options. It’s directly comparable to the AWS Elastic search service, which is Elastic search

I don't think there's "right" and "wrong", but bizarre (entitled?) expectations. A natural part of Open Source is that someone may come in and make way more money off of something than you do. In fact, Amazon m

It is not the whole point of patents. They at least ostensibly exist as a trade to eventually make the invention enter the public domain. Per Wikipedia: > In accordance with the original definition of the term "patent", paten

Wouldn’t this also be bad as take-out then? How is the delivery even possible if they aren’t already allowing for the poor experience through take-out? If it’s meant to be served at the table then it should be table only and then it’s fine

I haven't felt particularly constrained from CPU in a long time. My main issues have been with RAM (thankfully the new MacBooks finally started supporting 32GB of RAM), and GPU, which ever since Apple has been in a fight with NVIDIA ha

Yes, that is of course the point. There’s an infinite number of possible later versions to check for. The suggestion to poll for new versions using cURL was sarcastic. These “conventions” you speak of actually get handled by... package mana

Forget 10000000 packages. Many languages often make use of 10s of packages. If I have several projects, each with around 10 packages, and no automated way to just check if all my projects ’ respective dependencies have security updates t

You don’t like checking for security updates?

So I am going to have an unsatisfactory answer, but maybe its helpful: 1. Performance was kind of a reason for the Air. I want a machine that gives me the perspective my users will have when using my software. 2. But doesn't that suck

Although the particulars are unique, this seems to be another problem stemming from what I like to call "Having Your Open Source and Eating It Too Syndrome". Namely, it seems to me that the authors don't actually want an Open

Going along with other comments on this thread, if it's the case that you have access to anything that domain has access to, and the webcam is just a flashy way of demonstrating this, I would certainly consider it broad access. I would

This feels like a bizarre straw man. Yes, you can use lead paint on road markings because no one will lick them and lead paint is amazingly resilient to water damage -- but I think we all have a shared understanding in a casual conversation
