It sounds to me like you understand the point perfectly well, you just cared to make a different point.

As someone who has resided both in a foggy part of San Francisco and in Portland, I feel that this index doesn't adequately capture the dreariness of some SF neighborhoods.

All I have is my personal experience that SF felt especially cold this summer.

It sounds like they got some commercially available chemical sunscreens and added zinc oxide, which caused a reaction in those components, increasing their toxicity. That seems bad, but in my experience, zinc oxide is used in lieu of chemic

My point is that evaluating the relative effectiveness of regenerative braking in off-road contexts requires data and analysis which would not be present in a test drive context. Speculating about the effectiveness or parroting Rivian marke

by monkeyfacebag 5y ago
This is exactly my point. Establishing that regenerative braking is "especially helpful" for a particular driving context feels like a conclusion one could not reach during a test drive. More likely that the author got some talkin

I don't know anything about the author, but the breathless praise combined with questionable analysis leads me to think this is a PR puff piece. For example, > The instant you start letting off the accelerator, the motors start brak

by monkeyfacebag 5y ago
I think you're just wrong about how merit-based our industry is. I don't think it is meaningfully more merit-based than other industries, nor is it more challenging, despite the fact that it is often presented as both of these thi

I mean, not to discount the value of working hard or anything, but you describe this as a self evident truth when it can't possibly apply across the board. I am an existence proof. I've had to work relatively little for my success

I don’t think this limited to careers in academia. I see similar kinds of survivorship bias in leadership seminars and talks in industry where they trot out the folks at the top of the pyramid to discuss their career trajectory and dispense

I personally use it all the time, for everything I don’t want to show up in an autocomplete context. I started doing this probably 8 years ago after I got annoyed Google would auto suggest misspellings I had previously made. I think they’re

Reading through the article and the comments here, the facts aren't clear to me. Does Google itself track the behavior of its users in incognito mode? Some comments here allege that it does while others suggest this complaint is overbl

In fact it’s not worse at all. I guess when your attack on WIRED failed, you needed to find another target, huh?

Ok, so what's bigger than a football? A basketball? I don't really play sports.

by monkeyfacebag 5y ago
Apple is the football here, not the quarterback. If Apple does anything, it will be because they are succumbing to pressure from customers, investors and employees. Corporate activism is not orchestrated by cloaked figures in board rooms; i

I think a lot of this ends up being motivated by employees and customers of Apple who are using Apple as a lever of action, rather than being orchestrated top-down by Apple. This works, at least in part, because Apple is subject to popular

It just seems weird that you would choose forcing Apple and its employees to operate and live in Texas as the non-dystopian option.

You would forbid it?

by monkeyfacebag 5y ago
The law applies in Austin as well, no?

I don't think those are good ideas.

by monkeyfacebag 5y ago
huh, ok. Can you say more about where you think Reaper outshines Logic? I have to say that as a non-pro, I was really impressed by what Logic offers for the price, especially coming from Ableton which seems to offer considerably less for co

I’m still not seeing it. As a Java dev by day, I see DI mostly through the lenses of Hollywood principle and IOC containers, neither of which bear much resemblance to currying (as I see it). When it comes to something like DI frameworks, cu

So first of all, I don’t think it’s true that the article describes a switch to 100% free software. For example, the author bought a mirrorless camera, which is going to run proprietary software. Second, and more importantly, I think your c

Of course I agree with your point that there are many options when it comes to switching. I tried, but clearly failed, to imply this very point. For me, after consideration of my requirements and tolerances, Apple seemed like the best fit,

I’m actually joining the Apple ecosystem from Android/Windows for similar reasons. In particular, I wanted to use Logic instead of paying huge sums for new versions of Ableton; I wanted to use Pixelmator Pro instead of paying for Adobe

But why do you have to curry to inject your dependencies? Dependency injection is satisfied by moving internal constructs in your function or method into parameters, no?
