Where would you like me to paste the screen shots? I absolutely permitted him to buy the initial subscription. I approved it. I just wanted to cancel the renewal. Anyway, I convinced American Express and they gave me my money back so what y

You're right, of course. It absolutely is and so it might be a bad example, but it might be one where more readers would be familiar with.

I could have, but I don't think I should have to massage the facts to get this fixed. I made the account. He just lost his password.

Objective C is a good example of a Smalltalk derived language that was in heavy use for a while. Even though it's technically a superset of C, in actual use it's more like a message passing language.

I was stuck in a loop where my son's iCloud account had a subscription to Parallels, but it was on my credit card. He lost his password because he's 12. Even though I'm the parent on the account, it wouldn't let me can

I like VSCode too. I use it for Clojure, Python, and C#, which I am working in this year and haven't for a very, very long time. I was pleasantly surprised at the progress it has made. Ironically compared to Windows, MS has been willin

In what way is that not "taking it into account?"

by garbagecoder 3y ago
No, you don't, but if you're taking all the data at a "subatomic level" you will have so much memory required than unless you have some kind of memory I haven't heard of, it will need to take that into account becau

I also hate Oracle. Now what?

I hate Microsoft as much as your average Gen X tech nerd, but C# is good. I don't care what inspired them to do it.

If all your transistors update instantly at any distance, you have less of a problem, but you still have one.

Prove such a simulation can be created with actual hardware, taking relativity into account.

bro, I'm not holding my breath for the next Benoit Mandelbrot to come out of today's IBM. The comment above might have been hyperbolic, sure, but IBM isn't the omnipresent Goliath it once was. Maybe it's for us older fol

I think he also missed the fact that Windows NT came from VMS, not unix. The article needed an editor for sure. I think your point rings true, there are always these platform wars. But there is much more ease of interoperability now. Even r

A bank being rescued and its depositors money is safe and that bolsters the crypto narrative, compared to the owners being on the run or on trial for fraud? OK.

This is a safety feature. It can never be too intelligent this way. Yudkowsky can chill.

Apple does lay some turds. MobileMe. Whatever their attempt to make iTunes into a social media network was called. Maps until recently. Usually they fix them, but Siri never seems to get better. For what it's worth, I think Alexa has g

What you did was the literal definition of cherrypicking. You chose the one frame where the data supported your claim, even on your own terms. 57% is not the kind of market share usually associated with a monopoly or a combination in rest

Knee-jerk Internet commentators think any packet going anywhere is a breach of their privacy which is funny because that's sort of the point of a network. For me, this particular issue isn't about privacy, it's that these com

If this case had any legs, someone would've made progress against Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft consoles in the past. They haven't, those are more locked down and much easier to demonstrate the price harm when games are $60 and mar

Cherrypicking one quarter to make your point is pretty desperate and still irrelevant. When the case started it was less than 50%. Now what? A textbook monopoly price antitrust case involves people who are virtually the only player, or a

Right. If every plaintiff could just define a market a certain way, they would never lose a single anti-trust case. It isn't sustainable that way. Most people who dislike Apple have already found themselves a nice Android phone on it f

The reason people say this is because that argument has been put out there by the other multi-billion dollar corpos trying to take some of Apple's slices of the pie. None of this has the consumer at heart at all.

"Monopoly on iOS" isn't a thing and no one should have ever acted like it was a thing. iOS doesn't have dominant market share, so we aren't even talking about smartphone apps. I have a monopoly on parking spots at m

Yes, I think you're right and Gen-Z in general seems more open to it. I've worked several union and/or government jobs. Yes, it sucks that you end up carrying some of your co-workers. But knowing that your family isn't g
