I think that's an unfair view of Vice. It got acclaim for its writing and attitude as an independent outlet and seemed to be a legitimately profitable business for the first decade or so. It was only when it decided to become a media g

It’s a little from column a and a little column b in practice. Puja Patel (editor in chief) is fairly open about being in a mission to increase diversity and specifically covering fewer white male bands. You may spin that as “wokeness” (not

Recently visited South Yorkshire for the first time in 4 years. I didn’t notice a big difference between 3 and 4G coverage, but it was shocking how much of the city area has complete coverage blackspots. Both for myself connected to EE and

Shocking I know, but what Trump says and American cultural interpretations of it don’t really hold sway over here. Pretty harsh descriptor, but I’m from the North and often have referred to my area as a shithole. It’s not the area’s fault,

I replayed 12 a couple of years ago, the new Zodiac Age version. The quality of life changes in that have made it a significantly more enjoyable game, you can see now what they were aiming for and where they were up against the limits of th

Having worked in Kingston and had to endure Southwest trains, their service is still an absolute dream vs most of the rest of the country. Trains are cancelled, but the next service is 20 mins away, not hours, and they're not 1970s roa

It's about 12 months ago now, but I worked on a GL project where Firefox was significantly slower than Chrome – and, agreed, it was often on lower end devices. This was to the point it was easier to just drop features wholesale from

A model processing all that data doesn't sound fun. Sounds like the next generation of Cambridge Analytica waiting to happen, but this time it's information on every facet of your life. I realise this is completely permited by Sla

Their issue with the UK bill is the required data collection of users. The Digital Services Act is more about requiring them to more clearly state what profiles are being collected, how they are being used, and provide mechanisms for report

You have to take quite a narrow view of the business world to say Apple and Microsoft aren't comparable. They might have different products, but it's not like Apple is a greengrocer.

What advantage does this offer over composing using standard CSS classes, and maybe even using something like `classnames` to simplify the conditional logic? Feels like tying your project in quite heavily to a library that might become depr

Apple should open up and allow other browsers, but they shouldn’t just adopt Chrome themselves. Aside from throwing us back to the days of a browser monopoly, relying completely on a service provided by Google is becoming an increasingly qu

I think this one benefits some consumers, who are in to it, but overall it's more the principal of avoiding monopoly practices. The push to allow other rendering engines/browsers on iOS is a much more beneficial and clear cut posi

Not sure about the timtam example. Couldn't this: const flow = (...fns) => x0 => fns.reduce( (x, f) => f(x), x0 ); function slamTimTamsUsingFlow(timtams) { return timtams .slice(0, MAX_TIMTAMS)

I never justified it because that quote is nowhere in my comment. Regardless, it’s not as “stupid” as you claim. How many social networks have added a premium tier for non commercial users, while degrading the quality of the free tier and b
