The other things, yes, but 30% cut isn't a real problem. Have some perspective. You used to pay a lot more than that for packaging and distribution as a software developer, when software was still physical goods. (Yes, shareware, sure,

You don't get a lot of hate for any of the classic systems now. But, there were, and still are, valid criticisms of the Amiga. Bil Herd is on record in the first edition of the Bagnall book as being unimpressed with the Amiga hardware.

If I move out of SF, what happens? That's the problem for a lot of people.

But NeXT was a big failure commercially. And the software light at the end of the tunnel in 1996 was WebObjects, not OpenStep. If Apple hadn't bought them, they'd have eventually been reduced to WebObjects, Inc, in all but name. S

.xcspec predates Swift -- it's an Xcode format, not a Swift format -- but I don't remember by how much.

Yes, they mean UTF-16. I don't know if Xcode's parser actually supports surrogate pairs in practice, but it should.

I think the commenters so far are wondering what job it is that doesn't require you to be present on site. Most people don't have the option of working wherever they choose, whenever they want to. This is true even in the software

Nor in the late 90's when the modern property list format was devised.

A contender for what, though? As neat as it was (I remember it fondly -- I'd love to buy one for myself now), the IIgs was a distraction and a dead end. The Apple II division had been starved for resources forever, and the IIgs was too

You have a group of 19-36 students at home, and the skills to teach positive group dynamics? Lucky you. "That's not the school's job" -- so no one does it. Empathy is a learned skill, and like all such skills, requires p

WRT your parenthetical, it's historically normal for journalists to have lax standards. The web didn't invent pressure to publish. I think you're actually seeing increased transparency.

Your knowledge is out of date, I'm afraid. Simply being a geek is no longer sufficient. Teenagers today are competing in a much larger pool of increasingly sophisticated candidates; there's an entire class of businesses dedicated

No. It's not legal to park in handicapped spaces in California unless you're handicapped. California doesn't make an exception for rich assholes. SJ had many admirable qualities. This was not one of them.

In other words, she deserved it, in your opinion?

No. A 4K display still looks pixelated compared to my Retina MacBook. I know that's not supposed to be true, and I was certainly not expecting it, but my experience is that 4K isn't Retina quality.

SublimeText is very powerful, but very much has the feel of a bad Windows port. TextMate 2 is a better choice if you want an editor that matches the rest of your environment, assuming you're using a Mac.

No, they can just reject prerelease versions without attempting to decode them, which is much more elegant (and safer).

With all of those grammar and punctuation errors, an 8th grade English teacher marked that essay 100%? Seriously? You need to find a better school.

Kinda works in reverse for Ruby. I wish the Ruby maintainers had seen the need for proper English language documentation.

I know, right? Can you imagine how bad it would be if the department of defense blew a big wad of cash for a limited period of time on some sort of packet switched communication system that would survive a nuclear war? Geez, we really got l

Well, they didn't catch it, but when it was brought to their attention, they verified it and went after VW. This exposed a gap in their their testing practices, but the overall process certainly worked as it should.

You're missing some important context. GM is long-established in America. (So is Toyota.) VW's current market penetration in America is pretty minimal. And all Volkswagens are sold with a premium sales pitch, if not premium price

Your comment flabbergasts me. Any industrial designer or architect practicing today would be proud to design such a building. You want sixties buildings that haven't aged well, look at brutalist architecture.
