So? That was an early adopter year. For the vast majority of people, the iPhone has always had an App Store. Actually, that supports my point. The App Store came by because people wanted it. No one said: “oh no bloat my phone will slow down

It’s just a generic notice. I don’t think it’s anything to get riled up about. Of course European movie fans are important, in fact, you’re probably gonna get a free pitcher of beer if you say you came all the way from Europe and going to t

AOL was very successful, even though it was slow and laggy, and calling the UX “meh” is being generous. The iPhone won because it looked amazing and had the App Store. Looks and features. How did you reach the conclusion that it was speed?

This is Bullshit with a capital B. The killer feature of the iPhone were looks and apps. It was the first all-in-one (camera, music player, phone, game system, organizer, etc) that didn’t make you a bully target. Not saying Speed is unimpor

Don’t be lazy, you can confirm the post with a quick search. What are you trying to say anyway? Cool, so you don’t know what’s going on, and don’t particularly care. So what?

People disdain the humanities here, so they learn some lessons the hard way. The real question is if people actually want to live in a society with absolute free speech. I think that’s a no. Hate speech is protected as long as it doesn’t in

You can’t be banned or have your posts deleted. Thats absolute free speech.

The humanities don’t say that science is sexist and colonialist. That’s a strawman. I’ve never understood why STEM folks hate the humanities so much. I for one like both mathematics and history. I like coding and I like music. I find value

you can inspire someone to become more active in the support of a cause, throw more kindling into their fire, so to speak. Try reading Lolita by Nabokov.

It’s definitely on the way to becoming legacy tech, but jQuery was a great library back in the day, like, history book great. It played a big part in the Web 2.0 days, could be argued that if it wasn’t for jQuery we wouldn’t have the modern

I agree that people have gone too far. Art is a protected field, right? There’s going to be a huge backlash against cancel culture, I don’t think it’s going to last very long. That kinda trend always breeds rebellion.

The irony tastes like candy. More proof that we totally live in a simulation.

We’re in America. No one is getting fired for being a libertarian or a socialist. Were not jailing flat earthers or people who marry sex dolls. We’re taking about incitement to violence. That’s not something we tolerate as free speech.

“Post modern journalism”. Hard to say that out-loud without gagging a little. But you can’t let the state handle news either. And you can’t keep the free market from corrupting it. Not sure what the answer is.

You’re trying to create a sort of virtual reality, that’s why you need so much world-building. For example, the idea in ”Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is to get the reader to live the life of a slave. The best way to achieve that in writing is details

I don’t know if you can call Intercal a horrible programming language since it’s a joke language. It’s like Brainfuck. YAML though, ugh. Nothing worse than looking at a helm chart. JSON sucks too, but I’d rather a JSON config than a YAML on

Oh, yeah, I remember this. I saw a doc a few weeks ago about this, “My Father, Dr. G”. Malaysia has some crazy drug laws still, but that’s to be expected from a muslim country. But they’re actually making really good progress when it comes

You really should just need to read the code in case something goes wrong, but otherwise, no. You need to be more careful with your time.

The real history is useless. Especially if we have tests. In that case it doesn’t matter how often we make changes. I do think this is because I prefer to think of code as a black box. No one should need to figure out how my functions work.

This is a straw man. No one is censoring flat-earthers. We’re not burning people at the stake for practicing witchcraft or fucking stuffed animals or engaging in BDSM. This is about murder and terrorism. Be clear about what you’re defending

No, you’re just being facetious. The problem is that for yall, everything needs to be sacrificed at the altar of free speech, even reading comprehension. This is exactly what Popper is saying: we can’t tolerate the intolerant because they d

I don’t think so. You have no right to ownership just because you buy the song. You didn’t commission it, you didn’t write it, produce it, market it, and so on. All you did was pay a couple dollars. In effect, all you’re doing is buying a l

But that implies you own the song, which you don’t. You’re always leasing access to the song. Just because you pay a couple dollars doesn’t mean you get to listen to it forever.

I signed up to it. I’m curious how it goes. Diablo 3 was such a letdown, about as bad as GOT season 8.

That happened a lot here, plus tons of burst water pipes and carbon monoxide poisonings. Seriously, nothing here is built for the kind of cold you guys live with. The first day without power is doable, but that second day is just killer.

People are mostly voting against the other side today, not in support of one party, but to prevent the other from gaining power. For example, Biden. A lot of people voted for Biden not because they think of themselves as Democrats but becau
