Neither, really. I'm a developer and nothing in front of me is completely new, but taking a product from idea to completion has a fair amount of Coastline Paradox involved. Not looking for a "how do I do this" solution, more

This is one hell of a strawman. You know the "carefully donated" money doesn't just end up in a black hole, right?

"Society creates government, not the other way around..." And government supports and enriches society. It's symbiotic, not parasitic. "claim credit for what people have created on their own" Nobody creates anything

I'm hoping the Burger King trial goes well so we can get nationwide expansion, in large part to help bring the price down. That premium is still a little rough, Impossible is in a lot of restaurants but doesn't have the in-store p

Yes, it is better! Part of the goal is to provide a "gateway patty" to make it easier for meat-eaters to reduce their consumption. Good for their health, good for the environment, good for the animals. (Also, I've been vegan

This is false and serious FUD. There are a handful of vitamins/minerals that aren't found in meat-free diets (B12 is the big one) but they're all easily covered by fortified foods and/or taking a daily multivitamin. &quo

I'm willing to retract that entire line of thinking, because the author never ever actually said anything about designing for Retina hardware, so why are we talking about it in the first place? Their explicit approach was to make Mediu

What does this have to do with the article? [Edit] I'll be less terse. Yes, I know computers are more expensive in some countries. Are you accusing the author of being, in some way, discriminatory towards people with lower incomes? Did

You're being disingenuous. For starters, from the second paragraph: "In between Roboto on Android, San Francisco on iPhones and Macs, and Segoe UI on Windows..." Clearly, they're targeting all major platforms. Not to men

To clarify: by "burn out" I'm referring to becoming tired with a project. I'd hope that the maintainer would simply move on to another project.

You may take issue with Mr. Lodwick's tone, but he's not wrong. This gem is incomplete, and for a gem occupying the namespace "emoji", I think it's reasonable to expect the full, standard set of emoji. Passing the b
