I mean, I think Nvidia is hoping to get into games, not films, since they created that cloud gaming service. As for Apple: no company is an X company any more because that’s not how you grow. You grow by becoming an X+Y+… company, often thr

I was working on a todo app for Android over a decade ago and it was very simple. The only gimmick was that it tried to replicate the satisfaction of crossing off a to do list item with pen and paper. Not checking it as done, clicking antic

It seems from my discussions with drivers that it is more setup to appeal to people who need extra income but have erratic or limited extra hours to apply eg to a more traditional additional job

Until we change our drug laws it is a moral panic because they rest on concepts of self control and criminalization of its wanting, deterring people from getting treatment, telling them that it’s their own failure of character if they can’t

I’d rather use languages designed for their domains Kinda like how I prefer to use SQL over an ORM when working with a relational data store With that said, most languages just can do backend work, thanks to a socket library, rather than

Perhaps, but the truly leet coders don’t use any indentation at all

Agreed. That’s why I’m trying to get out of it. Problem is I have no other skills.

This sounds like the complaints managers level against open source software more generally. I assume you get to decide how it evolves, especially if there is no standard. Not that this is a unique model among PLs.

I think the bandying about of the term “late-stage capitalism” by writers has given many the false impression that capitalism is ending and that such an end is an inevitable running of course. I think capitalism is here to stay for as long

If Terraform is easy for you, you might try another declarative language like something from the ML family (Elm, Haskell, OCaml, etc) I get along very well with declarative code but find myself struggling through imperative and OOP equivale

I thought this was about my PR philosophy: I don’t like it but it builds and I’ve made my disagreements known, so merge it.

It’s not much of a story. I saw a dead man hanging from a branch in Yosemite. He wasn’t actually there.

Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView makes for a great functional stack but it doesn’t have strong typing. It does, however, have very good type analysis tools if you’re willing to put in the annotation work. Though honestly I can’t really rec

While I support the ruling for the abstract basis you describe, to say it has nothing in the concrete world to do with samesex weddings is disingenuous. Do you presume the plaintiff would have brought such a suit over something that echoed

I think people should be held responsible for their loans. I also think adults who take advantage of children’s ignorance should be held responsible. For me, having signed on for a bunch of loans, on the magnitude of thousands of dollars, a

I just don’t understand why anyone cares about the lab leak theory - proving or disproving. What do you think would happen? That China would be held accountable? Pffft.

One reason I left LastPass was because it kept bypassing 2FA (or incorrectly presenting it when it for whatever reason wasn’t required) - I could just press cancel and then there all my passwords were. The macOS app was … wild
