It can be both, no? A deep, long-term cultural commitment to anti-violence and tolerance, but succumb to violence and intolerance oneself when threatened. Unfortunately the threats have been coming hard and fast lately, making it a bit of a

It’s defending the civil and human rights of mentally disabled and addicted people. I agree that it’s a messy, unstated process, and I understand that some may prioritize clean parks over human rights.

I mean, San Francisco has always taken a more principled position on defining the boundaries of freedom and civil rights. It wasn’t so long ago that homosexuality was considered antisocial, could be “treated” in an institution, and was cons

You're a computation. That exists inside of a larger computation. It's just there, running. That's it.

"John was responsible for production having been deleted" because of the systems and processes he did or did not put in place. At a high enough level of abstraction, this is all that matters. Jony was responsible for the Touch Bar

I really missed the orange/green charging/charged LED, I was a bit surprised they didn't throw that on a USB-C cable or the exterior of the machine.

I think it's fair to say that Jony was ultimately the DRI ("directly responsible individual" in Apple-speak) for all industrial design, so he "owns" it, which is a bit above "signing off" or "acceptin

Interesting hypothesis. My personal experience is that I've shifted away from "exploring the Internet" to exploring other domains of lived experience. I suppose in this sense, I am now "exploiting the Internet", but

Giving up on expecting copyleft licenses to be enforceable seems reasonable. Open source wins by overwhelming closed-source advocates with quality code that moves too fast for them to keep up by maintaining their own private codebases or pr

Are there specific areas where you would expect to see greater adoption at this point on the curve? "Mainstream" adoption of a brand-new language takes time, and it's still early on the curve for Rust. If anything, the hype-t

This sounds so civilized compared to today. You’re given ten days to leave, can come back after ten years, and there is no loss of property . Also, “it can take place at most once a year, and only for one person. In this it resembles the G

I’d love a 20”+ laptop. At one point I made a lap mount for a 27” monitor, and it was great for short sessions. At over 10kg the weight was a bit much for longer sessions. :)
