First of all, they only do that because they are already forced. Second of all, have you actually looked at the process? It is very obviously onerous in ways that could be avoided.

Phone screens dont need to be user-swappable but apple should be forced to sell each module (screen, frame, camera board, main board, etc).

Regarding point #2, while it is of course entirely possible that they are slackers it is more likely that they lack the knowledge you are leveraging in order to declare that the PRs are "simple"

This is basically the thing I keep coming back to with the agentic tools. It is the wrangling requirements, stamping out confusion, and steering away from a trainwreck down the line that are the actual challenging parts of the job and we ca

Truly democratizing the web requires that "Compute Server" becomes a typical home appliance that is no more difficult to use than an oven or a furnace including the widespread access to vocational technicians who come to your hous

This guy is not totally wrong but he is also way off about pretty much everything even just simple basic facts. He writes "Michigan Stadium, the third‑largest sports venue on earth." which is not even remotely true. Michican Sta

I am convinced that there is an absurd amount of unrealized potential for spectating in eSports. But everyone seems to just deliver an experience that is more-or-less "like playing the game yourself, but worse, and with forced-hype com

Ah yes, of course, The Beautiful Game is clearly not at all about the actual game...

Baseball is killer in-person but it's also pretty nice to just have on TV. There is nothing else like the tension of a critical at-bat. Football is actually really really weird for a spectator sport and, I think, is generally present

I'm surprised that with this many comments about the relationship between testing, development, and QA there is so little mention of environment and deploy process. The usability of your test environment (and associated tooling) has a

His nine theses are basically a how-to guide for replacing democratic consensus with culture war bullshit. He clearly wants to bend the process to match his perception of the world rather than update his understanding of the world to match

I don't know what you think "worth" means but if "the money we make from this product covers the cost of producing the product" then it is worth it. That was the case until, as you noted, advertisements became dra

What I think is really great about The Legend of Zelda is that Breath of the Wild is very clearly a more fully realized version of the same core vision that guided the design of the original game thirty years earlier.

Inconsequential minutiae concerning display resolution is absolutely NOT the thing keeping people away from Linux. Its the "getting every config" right thing that is the problem.

"What meals can I make with a given amount of money?" is a reasonable way to shop. You said: > Franks and beans are not the best meal on the cheap. Sounds more expensive than cooking fresh and you're missing out on better

I am reading what you wrote and disputing it but you don't seem to want to hear it. I am saying that denying the sale of all "ULTRA PROCESSED" foods to people receiving food assistance is NOT helpful because deciding what cou

There is not a huge amount of fraud with SNAP and obviously what fraud does exist should be investigated, resolved, and prevented. You are proposing eliminating fraud by eliminating the system. "You can't have failing tests if you

Are you saying you shouldn't be able to buy water with SNAP money?

You are preposterously out-of-touch with reality here. "Filling up on salads" is healthy but it is FAR from the most "bang for your buck". And are seriously trying to say that beans aren't a good source of fiber and

The actual issue is that "Ultra-Processed" is EXTREMELY broad and vague. For example, hot dogs are ultra-processed. Obviously hot dogs are not the healthiest food but also obviously "franks and beans" is a pretty good me

Yes, the store has a catalog. They want you to see the catalog, so they pay someone to tell you that the catalog exists.

The problem is not ads. The problem is SPAM. There are plenty of legitimately well-intentioned ads that can connect someone who needs a good/service with someone that supplies it and everyone wins. The problem is that we use a nearly t

Using the term "Legacy Taxi" to imply that a taxi you don't summon by phone is somehow out-dated is wild. I understand the reason you would use it, especially at a company like Uber, but it still seems hilariously delusional.
