What's alarming is the continued existence (and respect) of software patents. Until software patents are abolished, developers and consumers will continue to be ripped off.

Calling Adobe's mess a "spec" really gives it too much credit. Now they've reduced themselves to "breaking" compatibility every couple of months to try to get people to maintain their software lease. Despicable

Apple often refuses to learn, or in fact "forgets" what the industry already knew. Another example: Forcing people to use an E-mail address as their user ID. This is a security and practicality disaster. Not only do people now hav

Yeah, they should've gone with full-sized HDMI ports, since they have the room.

Yep, the ability to construct a mental model is the most critical. If you can then keep it organized when you translate it to code, I'd say you're well-suited to the work. I wonder how many people have this ability, especially whe

Doesn't Backblaze delete copies of volumes that you haven't accessed in a certain amount of time?

Then those devices are to blame. Disabling the volume control is common for all digital outputs, not just HDMI. There's an absolute scale for volume in the digital domain, so there should be no vast disparity from different devices unl

Not to mention that the biggest problem, at least in music, isn't the absolute peak (or normalization), but rather dynamic compression. Everything mastered (or "remastered") since the late '90s has been destroyed with dy

Yes. Catalyst is a kinda-clever but janky solution. It basically puts the iPad simulator on the screen.

The '90s were full of ballyhoo about object orientation and "soon we'll be bolting together software with off-the-shelf components." Thanks to the failure to standardize C++ ABIs (among other reasons) that didn't ha

"Your complaint is like saying that having to copy and paste with ctrl c and ctrl v is non discoverable in Windows with a two button mouse because in Linux it’s just select text and middle click somewhere else." No it isn't,

Kinda tired of the proliferation of languages coming out of Google, whether they actually created them or not. If Go is so great, why was Kotlin released four years later and made the standard on Android? It's annoying enough to have t

Remember when Apple was going to adopt ZFS as Mac OS's file system? Then... nothing further was heard about it.

I don't see it as a sign of "doom," but rather more regression. It took YEARS for Apple to admit that their keyboards were shit, and they still haven't admitted that the emoji bar on their so-called "pro" compu

Don't know if this is related, but after initially being excited to hear about GraphQL, I was very disappointed to find that it doesn't seem to offer any way to (in effect) express joins. Am I missing something here? Has this been

NAILED IT. Touchscreen UIs are not for creating. They're for taking what you're given, pecking at giant canned buttons in a dumbed-down UI. A pigeon can peck the colored button to get a food pellet. That's tablet UI.

Seemed fine until the end, where metaphors have been mistaken for new words. Example: "dumpster fire." Webster's continues its descent into stupidity.

Also: Don't capitalize every word of control labels. That's amateur-hour. They're not titles or proper nouns, and capitalizing them leaves you no option when you DO refer to a title or proper noun.

He reminds me of an entire team of programmers who turned up their noses at VB, insisting that they work in VC instead. When, predictably, the VB prototype of the product worked perfectly well (the whole app was database-driven)... they wer

In the '90s, we were all supposed to look forward to a "marketplace of pre-built objects," which could be bolted together to build applications. That didn't materialize, because (as I understood it) of the industry'

The graph's axes aren't labeled. Therefore it isn't informative.

You don't "grow" revenue. You don't exist a new service. You don't die germs. You use transitive verbs when you want to direct them at an object.

Doesn't this prevent Nevada and anyone else from demanding source code for slot machines and other gambling machines, to audit it for backdoors and other flaws? The last I heard, they're not even allowed to use off-the-shelf vide

"The idea is to introduce real-world entity to UI/UX" No, that should be REINTRODUCE. The whole point of a GUI is that it's intuitive. The depicted controls should bear essential visual qualities of real-world objects,

Interesting that it's a sterol, considering that corticosteroids CAUSE cataracts. Not to mention destroying retinas by inducing central serous retinopathy. We're talking allergy nasal sprays like Nasonex, eye drops like Tobradex
