So use C++ already; that’s what it’s for. Don’t go complaining that C++ is “too complicated” and then be hauling its complexity into C, because all you’ll end up with is a bloated schizophrenic mess that is neither a good C nor a good C

“I can't believe the C standards committee is entertaining this.” Hey, standards committee’s gotta eat. 'defer'? I occasionaly use it in Swift to clean up resources; s’okay there, I guess, though I’m not convinced it’s better

Quite right: Apple is entitled to make (and not make) whatever products it chooses. Could’ve made a great, and timely, horrible-warts-n-all show about freedom of speech and those who’d manipulate it, but Cook is not one for such exuberant b

I didn’t go into Shortcuts as it has its own set of flaws: poor granularity, poor composability, excessively complex and expensive to extend. And it’s still not quite clear how Apple mean to position it so that it connects to users’ aspirat

Yes I read your post, and yes it was poorly worded. Take the tip and move on.

Not good, just “good enough”. UX, like evolution, once it goes down one particular path, tends to get stuck there, fiddling with the details at best. Radical innovation becomes really hard to effect: in evolution’s case because any new feat

“You know what I meant” No. I am not a mindreader. And “vaccines are injected into the bloodstream” is a standard antivax lie. Yes there’s a risk in receiving a vaccine, just as there’s a risk in receiving any prophylactic/therapeuti

“Which is why I'm so interested in the evidence behind these claims that I keep hearing that there was no vote fraud, or at least not enough to change the election.” [Sees what you did there] Did we mention bad-faith arguments? Yes. Ye

The burden of proof rests on the claimant. There’s a reason US courts of law keep throwing out these claims of widespread fraud: because the claimants consistently fail to provide the widespread evidence to back their claims up. What ther

“this is the language that powers Cloud Firestore / Cloud Storage security rules” This really needs to be stated on its front page. Right now it’s all “Hows” and no “Why”. First question anyone looking at it asks: What problem does i

File under: #WhyNotBoth? Yes, the confiscation in itself is an attack on free speech rights. But don’t think the high-stress weapons-drawn raid against a prominent whistleblower isn’t meant to send its own message clear and loud: keep your

“In my experience developers are very rational beings.” Yeah, no. Stopped there. Vanity is rationalizing the belief that you’re any better at being rational than the rest of us inchoate apes. There are many technical, logistical, and politi

So I should’ve phrased it as “You clearly didn’t read the article” then? Considering OP was transparently skating on the edge of Islamophobia, I think I was being kind.

See also: “IBM and the Seven Dwarfs”. Sure BUNCH had some really cool tech, but it was IBM who understood how to make great product .

Did you read the article? If you had, you might have noticed the phrase “Hindu-Arabic numerals“ being used. Shockingly, cultures do tend to build on the works of others. The reason it is tagged “Islamic” is presumably because the golden age

Blurry on standard-resolution monitors. On hi-def monitors and laser-printed page, it is lovely both to read and to look at. I mean, 4K (3840×2160) 23" displays nowadays start at $300, so if you’re still on hundred-buck 1920x1080 the

I love text, and I love IPC. I hate what 1970s terminal culture does to both. Why can’t we have modern text-driven interfaces* that are both parsimonious and elegant? The mighty Knuth gave us TeX 40 years ago, and our hardware has long si

“github didn’t stole your code, somebody else did and posted it at github” And if you read the title very precisely, indeed it does say that. That said, it is baity AF with all sorts of rich, tasty read meat: “Corporate Internet”, “Github

“HTML is pretty easy to edit” Congratulations on so utterly missing the point. (Again.) 99% of web users do not want to edit HTML, because they have far better things to do with their lives. I don’t care how easy you find it, because yo

“Just because other people don't understand you doesn't mean you are correct.” True. Also true that it doesn’t mean you aren’t. Though it does at minimum strongly suggest that your attempts to explain yourself to others have thus
