We wanted to order Evian or Fiji bottled water from Amazon but were put off by reviews mentioning oddly attached labels, misshapen bottles, wrong tint on bottle caps. So we just stuck with local supermarket water delivery. Fake water? Wonde

Have you had actual experiences with fake food? Some reviews for bottles of Evian or Fiji water sounded alarming when I wanted to order from Amazon (labels attached incorrectly, bottle cap unusual tint, things like that), so we just stuck w

Over some years, Amazon was to pay some $X in taxes. But they were given a break to pay $3b less assuming some goals are met. The city receives $X - $3b. Now the city receives $0.

Too many debates I read online today assume that the city was going to hand Amazon a $3b check. Some sort of misunderstanding of how taxes/tax subsidies work.

Speaking from experience, premiums go up every year, coverage decreases/copayments increase, and plans often get discontinued. I've had to switch to a different plan three times now.

Doesn't have to be a Mac only app. But be considerate to your users and use the best available SDKs for each platform, not one size fits all.

Electron (or embedded Chromium, etc.) is lazy development: save time on cross-platform work at the expense of your users' CPU overhead/battery time/SSD life. Spend time watching some of each year's WWDC talks and noting

Why not one package per line of code? One package per expression? Surely, someone will want to reuse var x = a + b. const {get} = require("underscore.get"); get(obj, 'a[0].b', defaultValue); If your language

Technically not if packages are just the misguided habit of "one package per function" seen in the Node ecosystem. Same amount of code, increased amount of complexity/meta-problems to deal with.

Phoenix is actually very agnostic as far as asset packaging goes, one can swap Brunch for Webpack or Parcel (or nothing) easily. So it's not to say those 300+ build-time-only node packages have anything to do with Phoenix (or Elixir, o
