I'm amazed that corporal punishment in schools is still legal throughout much of the US [0]. Perhaps it's mostly not used. I'm not sure because I went to school in New Jersey where it's outlawed even in private schools.

Outside of pretty printing - MySQL breaks your app if you depend on key order in an object because it alphabetically sorts object keys when you store it in a JSON column. JavaScript itself will also sort object keys if they are numeric, so

Imagine thinking that Epic's line of business is even half as impactful or important to the world as what Apple and Google provide. One of them makes games, the other two maintain a technological oligarchy that oversees our access to t

Buying a car. The amount of extra charges they slap on there is ridiculous. And in my state I have no choice but going through a dealership unless I buy a Tesla. Recently though, I bought out my leased car when the lease was over. I didn&#x

As a Linux and Windows user I feel like a slave whenever I use a Mac. Apple just doesn't let you do what you want, the way you want to do it. Any limitations that Linux has are purely technical, while Apple clearly limits users for pro

Why are you advocating for the lowest common denominator among humans? Are you sure you really want to be doing that? If that's the case, take away all the knives, require people to get a license to have kids, don't let them drive

Remember when you had to rent a telephone from Ma Bell in order to use the phone service that you paid for? Yeah neither do I because the government broke that shit up like they were supposed to. I bought this iPhone and I can't even r

There needs to be different rules for products that are essential to modern life, like smartphones. We have more rules and regulations for things like food services, airlines, banking and farming than we do for a store like GameStop or a j

I wonder if there is a higher rate of cancer among people who work around new cars, i.e. car sales people.

I noted that here: > Even among developers, only ~25% of them run a Mac. Linux has that many developers and the rest is Windows. It's less than 25% among general users...

Desktops are not railroads, Internet servers are. Considering that the overwhelming majority of Internet servers are running Linux and practically none of them are running macOS, I find this analogy to be hilariously wrong. Even among devel

Sticking with an LTS/Recommended kernel has served me well in Manjaro. Currently I'm running 5.4.95-1. Last year I was running a 4.x kernel but I began having an issue with some piece of software (I forget) that, when I researched

I've been running Manjaro on two desktops and one laptop for over two years now, without any of the problems that I'd experienced with Ubuntu, similar to the ones that you've mentioned. Recently I also installed it on an old

That still doesn't explain how giving us a choice of app stores causes a problem. If you don't like some other app store, don't shop there. And, as an iPhone user myself I want this option. So, you certainly do not speak for

No it's not. A join means you have to wastefully repeat the same parent fields for every row. That's wasted cycles serializing and deserializing and it's more work on the client. It's absolutely ridiculous to make a blan

You'd still have that choice if there was an alternative app store or side loading. Facebook is easy to ignore. As an app developer there is no way for me to ignore half of all phone users in the US.

The first 2 links cited incontrovertible evidence, I don't see much comedy in that. The third link shows a law that controls speech, which is exactly how I labeled it in my first sentence. You're arguing with me because I made a c

Your same argument can be applied against you: Allowing other distribution channels doesn't mean you'd have to use them. You can continue to only buy apps from Apple's app store. If Facebook then decides to only sell on their

HBO Max has the worst web video player UI of all the streaming services. The most annoying anti-feature is that skipping forward 15/30 seconds takes almost as long as just watching those seconds. I also had to install an extension just

You don't need to reinvent car engines to innovate in the automotive industry. The same can certainly apply to web browsers and their engines. Heck, Apple's car will be a Kia.
