It also features one of my favorite language features: after you install the jre on an OS -- and you can install multiple jres side-by-side -- you get robust, single-file deploys from megajars. Which are just big zips. And this has been w

Sure, but the thread is also full of people claiming Adobe is rent seeking. Charging a high price for differentiated, unique features that competitors haven't replicated is not rent seeking. That's just capitalism.

I hired out of app academy. It was fine -- they were super junior, but that was expected. All of them were successful in other industries and used app academy to retrain into software. I suspect one of the problems with these programs is

It's really striking to see two things in this thread: (1) complaints about price, and (2) repeated (cjk, lightroom library management, a half dozen other things) that Adobe offers features that have no competition. Feels like Adobe i

But code can be complete and then become so-called incomplete because, again, needs change. eg someone releases a new file format. You believe ffmpeg is bad code?

> Adding features to a code means it was incomplete. That definitely implies code can't be good if needs change, which makes no sense to me.

If I were betting, I'd bet many of the supposed bugs are readers working around incorrectly-implemented servers. If the feed doesn't update, but it's because of a server bug, your users are still left unhappy. In a perfect

Allowing housing to become so incredibly inexpensive is really bad.

I kind of disagree. chatgpt will make something that looks much more like it should work than your copy-pasted code from stackoverflow. It looks like it does exactly what you want. It's just riddled with bugs. Major (invented an api

Should searching for "legit software" and clicking on the first result which displays www.legitsoftware.com in it in fact take you to legitsoftware.com? You'd think so except Google likes money.

When you search for an app, google will happily allow attackers to buy that result and direct mislabeled links to the attackers' site. A former ceo got his laptop owned that way trying to install Adobe Acrobat because he unfortunately

fwiw, the most beneficial way of doing this for Costco is also relatively private. That is, companies tell Costco who they want to target and then costco shows the ads on their behalf. This maximizes value for Costco because advertisers h

Especially now, there's warehouses full of them. If you're comfortable bargaining you can even get them cheaper since demand isn't that high. Delivery might be a reach, but they'll often do it for $20-$40 if they have

Additionally, why would you want to compete with yourself? "Here's a thing you can have for free. Please, uh, buy my current wares instead of playing the old game for nothing."

I don't think it's true at all. Two reasons. The first, even ignoring that truth isn't necessarily widely agreed (is Donald Trump a raping fraud?), is that truth changes over time. eg is Donald Trump president? And preside
