I would say, because not everyone cares as deeply as you do. If it's readable and aesthetic, it is perfectly serviceable for the purpose of reading a post. Consider that you probably didn't have such an intense response to WIX tem

Think of it as an individual and instead of social property real property. If a person is stealing retail goods every day, no one asks "what should he do?" what he "should do" is face consequences until he is not a perso

Remember when we thought the Turing test would be some mind blowing pinnacle of computer science? I do because I was in college in the early 2000's. We flew right by that and now we are pretending it was no big deal. There is a lot to

Maybe it's incoherent commands, or maybe it's guessing at what kind of names for commands the admins would use for custom scripts that they wrote, which could themselves bypass security layers or be exploited in order to? It'

$8.7B in losses over the last 5 quarters sounds bad, but that is also with $20.4B capital expenditure in the period and double digit percent increases per quarter in user metrics. By traditional business metrics it looks toxic but compared

The decline you're talking about is roughly 168 to 145, or about 2.2% per year over 5 years. That's hardly a death sentence. More likely just the gradual adoption of higher level frameworks and languages with less ugly parts.

Maybe I'm optimistic or not typical but in my experience people submit random PR to open source projects because they really want the project to do xyz for their own project/reasons, and the project doesn't do xyz. And the PR

Here's an idea... How about we put constructive and intelligent people in charge instead of the most compelling narcissists. I have no doubt the waterfall of bad news could be good news if society were properly engineered in accordance
