Most of Manhattan is north of 59th street and most of the day is not rush hour. It is so bizarre to me that I would be accused of lying about something like this. I hear complaints about cyclists from all kinds of New Yorkers, especially th

I removed that level of specificity out of an abundance of caution. I still use the internet by the rules of the 90s, except that I no longer ask my parents for permission to visit AOL keyword “kids”.

I like classes. But you must understand your code, even before you write it. If the syntax that you use (the author is using TS, and JS/TS classes are syntactic sugar) matches your mental model of the program then I would say that you

This is the exact attitude described as being destructive in the article. It is also plainly illogical. It is so obviously illogical that it is boring. By doing normal things one spreads the virus, killing people and grinding businesses to

Keychain Access is good if you can accept an Apple solution. Apple software of course requires their hardware, which is a deal-breaker for many. RememBear is made by the company that runs TunnelBear, which is a performant, permissive and re

I like it, but idiomatic symbols are tough. When I look at some functional languages they seem so dense with operators that I have to use some inference (which I probably get at least partially wrong) to glean the meaning. This is a good op

Freedom of speech is not the freedom from consequences. One has the right to be rude and the inextricable burden of being judged. Intentional rudeness is an expression of emotion. Fundamental truths and well-reasoned arguments, despite the

“Option” is the operative word. A type that does not implement the correct trait cannot be used in a way that requires the trait. If you are writing anything non-trivial that would probably be preferable. It requires nothing, that is the de

I really like this about Rust, implementing equality is just another trait. The same is true of comparison operators. If you don’t want a type to be able to be compared by == you can make it always evaluate to false or even panic and give a

The article seems to miss the concept of criticizing an idea without criticizing the individual. This approach is ineffective as a means of communication. It just looks like mud-slinging and it always comes off as a defense mechanism. Even

I am guessing that the logo was generated from a website that mimics well-known logos. This is probably the best argument against using such a logo. I kept wondering why the creator wanted this to be associated with adult content.

Right. That is what I’m saying. You are taking my comment as a general statement rather than a response to the article. The article is about the lack of companies making a product from the research.

Technology is driven by starting companies. VCs don't care about what a company does, they care about the price of the company's stock. Stock pricing is based on confidence in the value of the stock. Even if people want clones or
