Bike-shedding is effort wasted on things that are irrelevant, like if an electronics startup paid this much attention to color. In Apple’s position as a fashion company as much as a tech company, and at Apple’s scale, they can and do invest

No, they charge the same price for all colors. Frankly the only products I’ve seen with different prices for different colors is autos.

Sometimes it baffles me, the amount of sound and fury regarding the rose gold iPhone etc. For me it’s a utilitarian device but I know it’s not that for everyone.

Coming from a different country it is really difficult to understand why someone would keep their money for themselves instead of helping their families. Over here families thrive and fail together.

I tried it and got an “Undo Typing” confirmation. Did you?

Did you google on a separate device or was it able to preserve the undo stack even through app switching etc?

Europe? Where is corporate crime punished effectively? With decades long prison sentences for the responsible executives?

But SICP and Feynman are highly nonstandard ways to be introduced to the topics. That’s why they’re unusual.

I set each of my machines and VMs to a different (dark) background color so I know what machine I’m in.

Find some people who have worked in an engine room or a McDonalds or similar, and supported themselves from the income from that job, and also had a career in IT. I think they will have a different opinion.

No, it's specifically meant to illustrate that the inflation in infrastructure costs has been wildly faster than the inflation in the rest of the economy. The US can't build infrastructure for any kind of reasonable cost anymore a

This is actually a good thing. The more lawyers get to suckle at the teat of class actions, the more class actions they will file, which will have a deterrent effect on corporate malfeasance even if there is no restitution to the victims.

If you compare IT to venture capital or just being a Senator’s son then sure it’s got its problems. But when you look at the pay and difficulty of IT compared to nursing, teaching, truck driving, coal mining, construction, etc... it’s the

Then go get one of those other jobs. As an employee you are an asset to be utilized. Companies that are too heavy handed about it lose employees. IT is one of the cushiest professions in the world, if you want it to be even less demanding t

For certain people, making money illegally is more fun than making it legally, even in spite of the risk.

Huh! I have to run the dishes twice in my brand new dishwasher and it aggravates me. I wash the second time without soap or the dishes come out with soap scum all over them.

The core reason futures exist is to allow you to maintain more stable pricing of the products you sell, in the face of price instability in the products you buy. Let’s say you’re Pizza Hut and you want to run a Super Bowl ad advertising $5

Military jets aren't really comparable. The pilots have signed up for a job with an elevated risk of death, and they are often asked to do far riskier things like "go dogfight this MIG near the North Korean border" or whateve

It's not about creating information in the information-theoretic sense. It's that nobody knows how neural networks work. So even if, say, all of the knowledge to recognize that this is a screwdriver is present in the 3D model, it&
