I have Ubuntu running in Parallels on an iMac, retina display, and the Ubuntu fonts seem noticeably less "nice" to look at than the Mac. Now, I didn't take the Pepsi Challenge here, i.e. a blind test, so it might just…
C is unsafe by default. You should have to do something explicit to use unsafe features.
I don't know much about the physics, but it seems like you'd want square miles of solar panels, even in space, and then there's the problem of getting that energy back to earth. On the other hand, in space you'd get a…
Plate tectonics has everything moving, so although I am an amateur, it seems the fact that the British Isles are moving away from Europe doesn't prove much.
I think the author is trying to say that _from a teaching point of view_, thinking of multiplication as a kind of addition is suboptimal. Because you can indeed multiply through repeated addition (which she…
It's difficult to account for every possible case while still remaining brief. Seeking expert knowledge is good advice in most situations. If you have the time, and the issue is potentially costly or valuable to you,…
It does have a monopoly on third-party software running on Apple devices.
Agreed. Unless the long-term need for software begins to decline, if you are skilled, hard-working, and able to communicate and work well with others, a lot of people will hire you.
And then you would be committing the classic blunder. Putting more engineers on a late project makes it later.
To the extent he is speaking only for himself and not making any kind of larger point, I'm not sure why it's on the front page of Hacker News. To the extent he's making a point such as "I gained nothing from this…
When faced with an oppressive law, people are entitled to do everything within their power to deal with it. Changing the law itself is certainly a great solution when practical, but it is not always practical.
Is this report simply saying it is possible to overdose on Vitamin-D? Isn't that possible with virtually anything?
$50K is kind of cheap actually. I've seen people pay $200K and more for basic CRUD websites with a little extra this or that. In fairness, if your web app does more than CRUD, or if you expect it will in the future,…
I started programming on an amateur basis in 1984, professionally in 1997. I'm 52 now. My experience is that coding has become more and more interesting and pleasant. In the early days, I had to deal with under-powered…
Possible credulous users cannot be the one-size-fits-all excuse for blocking the freedoms of everyone. There are many ways to mitigate any conceivable concern without abrogating the freedom of a phone owner to run the…
I don't see that at all. The value Apple supposedly provides is safety. If consumers want the safety that Apple offers, they can continue to limit themselves to Apple's App Store offerings, while those who don't value…
The arguments are well-repeated by now, but your comment is analogous to saying if I buy a Ford, I can only fill it with Ford gas. It's OK to have laws that prevent and forbid that because it's not good for the people.
Or even better, allowing users to opt to install apps from other app stores.
This isn't really an option if you actually want iOS apps. It's an all-or-nothing play by Apple: accept all our rules, including the ones that greatly limit you, or get none of the benefits of iOS, including the large…
My questions on this are very simple: 1. Did they legally acquire the books they scanned? 2. Are they only allowing one subscriber at a time to check out/read the book? If so, then they are doing exactly what libraries…
Sure, maybe everyone is an ungrateful SOB who doesn't appreciate you. Or, maybe you personally are a very unpleasant person to have in any position of power, and that's why moderation was so very unpleasant for you that…
I'm a very loyal Apple customer, but if they turned off all third-party apps, I'd switch to Android right away. Just flat-out.
Valid points. My worry is if this is being exercised inconsistently. Is the same rule applied in the same way to everyone? Even Apple granting itself exceptions isn't great -- and I know it does grant this exception to…
I feel like they're being very honest. If you (or anyone else) feels strongly, you can always fork the code now and develop it. You and I have no right to the _future code_ that Sentry might write and license under…
