Most parents want everything to cater to their family... you say. This irritates you. However, you find it irritating when people call you selfish when things are catered for you. Who are these people calling you selfish by the way? Who ha

So many weird assumptions here. How exactly is everything optimised with families in mind? Ask any parent and I'm sure they will tell you how unoptimised their life is. Why does a single person with their own expendable income worry so

People had to tolerate your existence when your parents decided to bring you into this world. Why not show the same courtesy?

Again, why do you keep bringing up personal experiences as a benchmark? It’s completely irrelevant. We are talking about a store with 100s of millions of users, you’re just 1. How about checking what apps are the most downloaded for a start

Apps for mobile devices! not personal computers. Self hosted PWA's are absolutely available to open on mobile.. and no one uses them.

What can I say.. That is completely false, 100% false, its not an argument. Infinitely more apps have been developed in Xcode than Jetbrains IDEs and Visual Studio combined. Now and historically. Anecdotal stories of developers watching WW

You code? Then you should know your personal preferences are completely irrelevant. You think 99.999999%+ of apple users care about github or Firefox OS. Why even bring it up? 'I like using these specific apps, so millions upon milli

Its not developer or people friendly? What are you talking about??? They have the most mature dev stack for app development available. Its the most convenient option for anyone who owns an Apple device by far. Its not even an argument, the

There is a big difference between public school teachers and guided meditation helpers. There is no benchmark that says guided meditation helpers should be paid on par with apple employees. Guided meditation helpers are receiving less and

How do you self host an app? And if you can, how could you possibly reach the audience the size the app store offers? Never publish anything on Apple's ecosystem as there no alternative... so don't publish at all is what you mean?

??? We don’t fear nuclear power based on the possibility of a world destroying war. It’s feared based on the consequences of a disaster like Chernobyl or Fukashima.

Correct.

So the depiction of the ever present threat of nuclear war and the aftermath is not scary and rather predictable? A fever dream of 'good content'. Watching the collapse of civilisation is nothing compared to Jared Leto.

They made us watch 'The Day After' in high school. There is value in imprinting on kids the true horror and the ever present threat nuclear weapons pose. It's not a fantasy, it is real and it is the world they will inherit.

How do you drum up interest in expensive bit of tech with few apps and many undesirable drawbacks which limit its adoption to enthusiasts and in turn interest from third party developers? Pretend its exclusive and hard to get I suppose? Med

Air quality is not a weather measurement like temperature or humidity, far from it. Air quality is greatly influenced by human activity and is an extremely contentious issue in many countries.

Unlike basic weather metrics like temperature, humidity etc. Air quality measurements are directly impacted by human activity and are extremely contentious. In my hometown, there is a fight between locals and waste operators over excessive

Have you ever EVER heard a 40 year old say 'I was a lot smarter back in my 20s'??? never... more likely they'll reminisce about the stupid things they got up to. Your certainly not losing your intellectual abilities at 40 or

Not sure I've seen the sentence 'Setting this up is painfully simple.' used often in any documented instructions. It's unnecessary and rather arrogant.

How about we categorise it by the day/night cycles like we have since before we walked on 2 legs? Not some arbitrary time model we created that happens to divide the night cycle at midnight. Daytime max, overnight min.

by calsy 3y ago
Daily min/max by calendar day has never been a standard. Weather is not divided by some arbitrary time humans created. Max and min temperatures occur overwhelmingly in their respective day and night cycle. Adding some arbitrary cut of

A company attempting to prevent the theft of their product on a platform rampant with piracy is capitalist greed? Improving their share value by stopping the theft of their product is capitalist greed? How about they incompetently implemen

You have no proof the brand was destroyed by managerial greed. You also never said managerial greed, you said capitalist greed.. big difference. You mention capitalisms failures and destruction of ideas while public funding saved the day.

Yes it does say exactly that. EA is not an isolated company afflicted with capitalism. When you say a companies failures are due to capitalist greed, that means something. You are blaming the fundamental economic principles that the major

A single example of government funding an indie developer of a niche title proves that the entire industry up until this point has been going about it wrong? Government bureaucracy and inefficient spending never burned down good ideas? Neve

Sounds like you should do less stereotyping of roles. You’re assumption that programmers don’t understand UI and need to stay away is exactly what the blog refers to when talking about ego. You think programmers output all their work in a t

Whats even more funny is HTML looks like a 'gigantic wall of impossibly small black and white text' when its rendered without a stylesheet.
