(a) it's August 2021 now. Lots of water under the bridge since then. (b) that strikes me as a somewhat misleading reading of that data, which shows no _decrease_ of vaccine hesitancy from the previous month in PhDs while hesitancy for

This is an oversimplification. Unix trains people to think in terms of requiring deep directory hierarchies because the Unix implementation cannot exist without them (I'd argue some of this is due to historical cruft becoming enshrined

Unrealistic. My non-tech family and friends don’t care about this, and I can’t make them care. They don’t understand why it’s a problem; they agree with the motive and don’t understand that it’s not actually a solvable problem. It’s not tot

The 68k Macs are < 60MHz and the early PowerPCs were not a lot faster. Your 2014 laptop will run circles around them doing just about anything.

But they can’t even get a feed with ads to people. I should have been able to get the NBC “live” Olympics feeds on Peacock or one of the other NBC apps at the broadcast times. Nope. Not even with ads. No dice. Cord-cutters are SOL (if you d

I think the parent is referring to the code they ship as part of their own products, which for most companies is definitely not GPL3 if they can avoid it.

Excellent -- so your large C codebase is free of security bugs, something no software vendor has managed to accomplish. Ritchie and Thompson themselves didn't manage that feat. Tell us how you do it, please, so the world may learn.

That seems like an ahistorical objection. $199 was a very reasonable price for a powerful dev tool in 1988. A lot of software at the time cost much, much more. Look up historical prices for just about any contemporaneous commercial softwar

No, Apple TV doesn't require any other Apple devices. It will prompt you for an iCloud account during setup, but you can create a free one or just not have one.

Times have changed a lot. Your advice might have applied as late as the mid 1990’s, but not much past the turn of the century. In hindsight, boomers had a really easy time of it, even some we rightly revere for their contributions. Work har

I dunno what most people think about the benefits of Smalltalk, but I do know that people think Ruby and Objective-C are part of the Smalltalk lineage because they use the Smalltalk object model and have similar dynamic properties.

What's really sad is that the entire reason Sony bought the media companies was to prevent them from interfering with new Sony hardware innovations. The record companies resisted the audio CD and the studios resisted Betamax. Sony seem

I'm not voting on it either way, so I can't say, but I personally find it off topic. TFA is a technical article; there are plenty of articles that discuss right-to-repair etc. Edited to add: the author doesn't seem to themsel
