Only -3 you pikers? Alt-right tears are the milk in which I bathe.
“In Thiel's case, it outed a gay man that didn't want to come out.” There’s a fair argument that Thiel’s enthusiastic financial support of homophobic bigots made his own hypocrisy a matter of public interest. And let’s…
I didn’t go into Shortcuts as it has its own set of flaws: poor granularity, poor composability, excessively complex and expensive to extend. And it’s still not quite clear how Apple mean to position it so that it…
Yes I read your post, and yes it was poorly worded. Take the tip and move on.
Nailgun.
Not good, just “good enough”. UX, like evolution, once it goes down one particular path, tends to get stuck there, fiddling with the details at best. Radical innovation becomes really hard to effect: in evolution’s case…
“You know what I meant” No. I am not a mindreader. And “vaccines are injected into the bloodstream” is a standard antivax lie. Yes there’s a risk in receiving a vaccine, just as there’s a risk in receiving any…
“Which is why I'm so interested in the evidence behind these claims that I keep hearing that there was no vote fraud, or at least not enough to change the election.” [Sees what you did there] Did we mention bad-faith…

The burden of proof rests on the claimant. There’s a reason US courts of law keep throwing out these claims of widespread fraud: because the claimants consistently fail to provide the widespread evidence to back their…
File under: #WhyNotBoth? Yes, the confiscation in itself is an attack on free speech rights. But don’t think the high-stress weapons-drawn raid against a prominent whistleblower isn’t meant to send its own message clear…
Please name a vaccine that is injected into your bloodstream.
“but the reality is worse: we have not seen a 10x boost due to all developments combined and in over 30 years” [citation]?
“In my experience developers are very rational beings.” Yeah, no. Stopped there. Vanity is rationalizing the belief that you’re any better at being rational than the rest of us inchoate apes. There are many technical,…
So I should’ve phrased it as “You clearly didn’t read the article” then? Considering OP was transparently skating on the edge of Islamophobia, I think I was being kind.

Did you read the article? If you had, you might have noticed the phrase “Hindu-Arabic numerals“ being used. Shockingly, cultures do tend to build on the works of others. The reason it is tagged “Islamic” is presumably…
Blurry on standard-resolution monitors. On hi-def monitors and laser-printed page, it is lovely both to read and to look at. I mean, 4K (3840×2160) 23" displays nowadays start at $300, so if you’re still on hundred-buck…

Doesn’t have the beautiful Display Postscript/LeX-esque typography that I want, and less said about Lots of Irritating Silly Parentheses the better, but even 1980s tech was doing it better:…
I love text, and I love IPC. I hate what 1970s terminal culture does to both. Why can’t we have modern text-driven interfaces* that are both parsimonious and elegant? The mighty Knuth gave us TeX 40 years ago, and our…

“HTML is pretty easy to edit” Congratulations on so utterly missing the point. (Again.) 99% of web users do not want to edit HTML, because they have far better things to do with their lives. I don’t care how easy you…
“Just because other people don't understand you doesn't mean you are correct.” True. Also true that it doesn’t mean you aren’t. Though it does at minimum strongly suggest that your attempts to explain yourself to others…
