So, your answer now is to argue that you don't know whether or not the working conditions are bad, after arguing that they aren't bad enough to entitle people to complain? Which is it? Why are you now equivocating over this instea

So ... what's the wage cutoff where you're no longer entitled to sane working conditions? The real "deeply depressing" bit here is how many of us would rather focus on pulling down the top crab than question why we'

I never even got to meet one of my grandparents. All I have is stories, and honestly not a lot of those. I don't think you should feel narcissistic at all. Family is one of the prime places where we share our wisdom and values. Where w

By "your own politics" are we still referring to things like "hey it's not okay that you're making fun of people and their different-sounding names"?

Yeah, that's gotta be one of my biggest complaints after years of working with Rails. Eventually you sort-of memorize the conventions and can relatively accurately guess where a file lives, until someone decides to get clever and put t

Right, and on the flipside significant effort has been invested in Clang performance when compiling for Intel CPUs. Much of that is likely to the benefit of all backends, but some of it surely is specific to Intel. IMO this bit right here i

That's only one part of the problem here. "Competing" in this sense is delivering similar user experience (battery life, performance, seamless hardware interactions) that Apple is achieving through their top-to-bottom control

Do most generic statements start with "This matches my experience"? Kinda seems like you are, mate.

All of the license-encumbered code lives in a separate directory, with a clear warning that it's licensed, and builds result in license-encumbered code being an entirely separate artifact from the purely Apache 2 licensed code. Besides

So, what you're saying is there's tons of technologies lying around that are a solid UI and some extra features away from being valuable to normal people. But somehow doing those things and making lots of money is bad?

Indeed. Unless I find a big chunk of time today , I'm 0/4 on a resolution to write a post a month this year. Expecting people to build content in their spare time builds in some hefty assumptions on how much spare time and ener

Yep. I took a deep dive at one point into understanding concurrent transaction behavior in MySQL and its ramifications. Probably go back and reference that post about once a month...

That statement assumes no transmission latency on your current setup. Kinda doubt that's the case.

PageRank is predicated on an assumption that most pages (and thus, most links) are created/curated by humans. This was true when it was invented, but appears to be less likely now. What gives me pause here is all the anecdotes in this

Except it's not a pure cost thing. Delivering blockchain/ICO emails impacts the deliverability scores of everyone else routed through those same domains and IPs. It's incredibly difficult to pin that to a number, because it&#

That might be part of it. Plenty of other restaurants need (at the least) experienced cooks who probably would have gotten bounced out if they couldn't keep food safety more or less in order. A lot of it, I would guess, is simple scale

I would assume that the Lambda team is more likely to fill in gaps in support for things that already have official SDKs before starting to officially support something that the rest of AWS isn't yet working on.

OpenLayers vs. Leaflet is a bit like Rails vs. Sinatra: one is a lot bigger and heavier, but you'll probably end up reimplementing 1/4 to 3/4 of its features if you go with the other. Plenty of cases where either choice is th

You're the one saying we should effectively stick with the current mechanism, despite its flaws. The onus isn't on me to provide an alternative, it's on you to defend a problematic solution.
