Is there an aricle with specifics on this and why it was done?
I never understood why cookies receive so much attention in various privacy discussions. They are the one thing the user has full control over. Yes it takes some effort to delete them, but so does looking left and right…
Maybe that's because gluing together limbs is still an open research issue while gluing together ideas is merely a mental excercise?
There’s probably a lot more than what is obvious here. Compare a modern clip to something that was made in the 70/80s. I guess it does take some skill to not end up with 2 bodies just lying atop each other and properly…
We did/do that in German too. Some people still ended up being offended. Go figure.
> a malfunctioning sandbox is worse than useless Are there any sandboxes in existence which are definitely not worse than useless?
So graphical programming counts as not programming these days.
Chrome OS and Android may seem similar from a distance – they’re technically similar and do similar things, but they have very different goals. Android was trying to imitate iOS and needed to establish itself and…

There's bound to be people out there (other than me) that hate dealing with other humans - let alone other humans who barely understand the language you speak, have bad hearing and work in a noisy environment.
Reading that article, isn't that what Rich Hickey would call "incidental" (and thus bad) complexity?

I feel exactly like you, and I'm glad I'm not alone. For some reason though we're the exception here. Most people seem to have enjoyed ME2 more than ME1 because nobody seems to care about having an actual coherent…

Who can win against lisp anyways? The reasons we aren't seeing more lisp/clojure are not technical/objective ones but attitude, social and nework factors - which are just as relevant though.
So how would one implement Erlang-like functionality in Plan9, where the code of a server can be hotswapped while still keeping all existing sockets to the clients open?
> If P is true, its negation is false. Where's your proof?
I agree. The way most people seem to mean this is one in which it's trivially true, since work is unpleasant but necessary and family is pleasant but scarce. There is work out there that people love and not only…
