Surely the "addiction is a disease" mindset is a defensive response to the (especially in America) mindset that addiction is a moral failing. I.e. one crackpot opinion begets another. The truth about 'addiction' is compl

"Last update on XCode 6 made it impossible for some 2012 models to run it" I find this difficult to believe, care to provide evidence of it being an Apple problem?

This is the most delusional piece of self-justification I have read in years. Your use of words like culling and optimise makes me suspect you need to work on your social skills, a lot. No one likes braggers, no one. Sometimes braggarts who

Making money is the only significant metric. They may have a large market share but if they're not making money from it who cares?

Come on, its not difficult. Apple makes products in gold because it makes those products more appealing to Chinese consumers. If you're going to try and be an Apple hater at least also try to be intelligent about it.

Are there a "large number of people who think they prefer full justification"? Citation required. I think most people don't think about it.

But what is luxurious (or even exclusive) about HN? If you are going to generate some culinary comparison perhaps a niche burger (tofu?) would be more appropriate.

A luxury product created by gratuitous cruelty? Seems a bit harsh.

Reordering could alter the program's semantics as well as being extra work for such limited machines. FORTRAN permitted explicit and implicit declarations. It would be quite legal to use I as an implicit INTEGER variable then later exp

So, do you have any actual proof of this allegation or is it just another gratuitous accusation from an Apple hater?

"The default sql mode has changed." So long as it possible to redefine the mode at will on a per connection basis or on startup then the integrity of data held within MySQL cannot be guaranteed.

That is silly. Most addicts don't have the resources to change their life structure, where would they go? what would they do? how would it be paid for?. It is only the rich who can check to a rehab clinic.

I would turn this round. Your habitual behaviour comes to be associated with your environment. By removing yourself from that environment you find that those habits become weaker and may vanish. Behaviour isn't changed so much as behav

Regrettably a significant number of back ends (principally Microsoft ones in my experience) regard the +bit as malformed and reject the email address.

The SLA mentions 99.9% or 99.99% for Database connectivity. Where does 99.999% come from? Do Microsoft say this about Traffic Manager or are you suggesting you have to pay for extra services to get the advertised reliability figure?

Neither interesting, nor surprising really. Curtis requires people to pay attention and think before they comprehend what he is saying. The Cook piece merely required them to click "like".

I don't think it is an original observation but Steve Jobs chose a very capable and worthy successor. Tim Cook gets more impressive each time you hear anything about him.

The difference between film and paint is that with a little skill it is possible to make your own paints. Film? Not so easy. Film sales have been in decline for over 10 years. Before that, prices were subsidised by huge numbers of people wh

The fact that most people could look at that code and have no real clue what it actually does seems to have escaped you. This is in any event not the entire source code, as most of the work is done by function calls which most people would

Not picking on you in particular you are just an example of an attitude which assumes that we either have complete freedom for businesses to do as they wish or (gasp!) "communism" with state control. The "law of the excluded

America needs China and the Saudis (for investment/loans/manufacturing and oil respectively). It does need Cuba so can happily pretend to be principled by bullying them.

But ssh -t forces pseudo-tty allocation and doesn't take arguments, what you are doing is appending command strings to the ssh command line.

I stand by my verdict. He was stating that ring fenced measurements are blown out of proportion because they do not reflect real life behaviour. I'd expect a citation otherwise I am happy to dismiss it as silly.

by equoid 12y ago
Don't be silly. That measurement technique is to allow you to isolate and measure the effect. You seem to want to infer that the effect does not occur in any other circumstances. That is as inane as disregarding crash test dummy result

You may like to think that about entrepreneurs but you'd be almost clinically deluded if that was what you did think.
