I suspect you're right that GP was likely talking about a different context but I think that person failed to make that clear, therefore making it seem like their mantra for variable names was universally applicable. Clearly, it isn&#x

Not all mechanical keyboards are made equal: there are the switches to consider, the actual build of the keyboard, the design of the keycaps (there are low profile Cherry MX-compatible keycaps, for instance).

But one's thumb doesn't rotate like that. If one needs to make one's thumb rotate to use a trackpad with a thumb and another finger, that trackpad must be the size of a sheet of paper. I'm probably misunderstanding. I

I've been sitting here for a good minute trying to make my thumb rotate the way you've described on my Magic Trackpad (no hardware buttons) and it simply isn't doing that. > Using the thumb for buttons and long for trackpa

It doesn't matter how good the other trackpads are if they don't have the software driving it. Even with Microsoft standardising the trackpad interface for drivers in Windows 10, that doesn't matter when plenty of non-Metro a

This sounds fine if you're the only one using the code. In business, the practice you're describing is needlessly fragile. My opinion is that you shouldn't have a home style and a work style — you should just have correct s

You got distracted by the Rose Tinted Glasses Brigade, but I think you're absolutely right. On top of that, I think there were other design considerations — how to make iOS' scale up to iPad more easily (remember when Siri was in

For long spans of Mac OS X's history, Apple always shipped an incredibly old version of OpenGL. With Apple deprecating OpenGL, this isn't really anything new or interesting — that is, until the day Apple removes OpenGL, we will ha

I didn't say any such thing. I think you might have meant to respond to a different comment.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. Did you mean to respond to me or someone else?

You have a lot of people giving you technical responses as to why immutability was always an illusion on the internet. They make good arguments. But that's just indicative of the HN bubble, being satisfied technically correct reasoning

Oh, I understand that it's plausible. It just seems idiomatic to the author or translator, that's all. Nothing wrong with that, no judgement here. :-)

Just an interesting aside: whenever I see Japanese articles translated, the reported speech ascribed to older Japanese interviewees often includes such language as "I'm like, 'Hey, how are you doing?'". I wonder if

Good point, although there was value enough in the comment. That is, one can extrapolate that just because the episode was related to the topic, that doesn't make it intrinsically interesting in and of itself — as might be implied by t

I don't know why you were downvoted. It's perfectly possible to find a concept interesting but some show's execution upon it uninteresting.

The PPC emulator, Rosetta, also required a full compliment of PowerPC libraries and frameworks installed. Though 10.6 did not support booting on PPC and only included Intel drivers, the basic system frameworks were still Universal Binaries

I've never quite understood the notion that languages like Python and Ruby are amenable to fast prototyping. Ultimately, you wind up just having to carry complicated type information in your head rather than write it all down in your c
