I don't think it's this simple. That interpretation of freedom of speech seems a bit literal. The point is that people should have the ability to voice their opinions, and have their voice heard if anyone wants to hear it. Since t

I'm not convinced. I think that gives discord and others an easy excuse to censor people or communities they don't want on their platform, but I just don't buy that their real objection was rudeness. This is an effective excu

Funny you should mention that, I'm watching that too, and I can't wait until that's to the point where it's just as easy and seamless to get something up and running in django or a similar framework, while also having al

That's really interesting, I should look into that pattern, maybe it can be applied elsewhere (I have to maintain a vb6 application at work, and I'm not terribly interested in doing that anymore). Yeah working with redux sucks in

I see your point, and I agree it's definitely not a good solution to some problems. But I think it can be very productive if your constraints allow you to use it.

I can't really speak to all the technologies you mentioned, but some of the other apps I maintain are in python using django. It is also "batteries included", and does give you more tools out of the box for backend work. It&#

> externalized to your users You mean if you have customers with less powerful devices like the OP? I don't really see internal services or B2B products having that problem.

The fact is, the Javascript ecosystem is unmatched when it comes to very quickly creating frontend applications. Maybe another set of tools would have been better, but that doesn't really matter. This set of tools is what everyone uses

Yeah I was surprised to see it didn't use pandoc for exports. I'm not sure why, and all these issues about exporting to word wouldn't exist.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining

Didn't mean to pick on xfce, I haven't used it in a couple years to be fair. But when I did, it just didn't fit my workflow that well. For example, I'm used to pressing command+space and getting system-wide search for al

I'll never understand this. It's like people who swear by xfce. Both are borderline unusable to me, but gnome certainly isn't in that category, despite its bugs.

> I just don’t like having the burden of mixing professional and personal Can you elaborate on this? I'm starting to do something similar with a parent, and I'd like to know what kind of burden you mean, and what your experienc

Oh I thought you were saying that ironically, but you know what, I can see it.

But what about users who actually prefer some web applications, like the user you responded to? To them, the web application is the hammer. I mean really who gets to decide which is better besides the user?

Everyone who is talking about how the route the industry took with SPAs was just a silly mistake, and that we should go back to the good old days of PHP are forgetting that at the end of the day the most important thing is to choose the bes

Gnome has its own distinctive feel for me, and it feels entirely different from mac or windows. I don't really understand the hate i keep seeing on here to be honest.

I don't know if this was the intention either, but when I see articles like this, I just think we as programmers are such divas sometimes.

So why do the text-based tools like this one get in your way? They can do images just as well. Unless I misunderstood what you meant by graphics.

It's disingenuous for the company to try to get you into a contract by promising that your "credits" can be rolled over without being up-front about the conditions. Obviously OP made a mistake here, and it seems that they&#x2

I had the same experience, and I'm not really sure why I can't use docker-compose with podman. If it's a drop in replacement, why can't I alias podman as docker and use docker-compose like normal? I did try that and it d

I'm curious to know why you expected 2k. With more vertical integration, the cost normally goes down. Why would the cost go up for apple here?

by ziftface 6y ago
Is there any indication at this point that they'll make that clear? It seems kind of strange to buy a computer without really knowing what you're buying. I guess apple didn't officially say what intel processors they have in

It's so bizarre that they lied over $30. Unless I am misunderstanding the motivation behind this decision. But if they really just lied to make the price appear to be $30 cheaper, it seems kind of strange. I don't think customers

I think the implication was that it isn't a dichotomy. There is a third group of people who are neither fanboys nor anti fanboys.

I felt the same about Linux until I started using an AMD GPU and found out the problem was actually Nvidia. My Linux desktop now runs really smoothly with no configuration needed.

The sugar content is ten percent of the weight of the dough. It's crazy when put in such clear terms. I bet a lot of the bread we eat here in the US is similar, unfortunately, if not worse.

I'm trying it out just now after having used vimium for the longest time, and I like it, but it randomly doesn't support upvotes on this site. I'm sure there will be other cases it doesn't support for some reason. But it
