Ahh to be back in the 90’s where our only environmental concerns were 9v, AA and D-cell batteries

I find that VSCode outperforms Visual Studio in ‘snappiness’ where Traditional VS lags greatly occasionally on editor input... as far as random glitches go, VS is shite in that dept.

I know you just got used to and are productive with the old UX and naming... but hey now we call it something else and have a new fancy UX featuring more whitespace that you get to learn. Fire in motion!

Cancer is the biggest mothertrucker of all. Fuck cancer.

Reads like “We could have finished our chores and baby duty early, to have conversations, but we opted not to. Commuting forced us to dedicate this time to ourselves, freeing our conscious from not spending time home with baby because nobody is going to judge our commute time as being irresponsible to our children”

That PC vs Mac dichotomy really doesn’t carry into pre-built PCs and definitely not into pre-built laptops and other portables. Both have a responsibility for quality control.

> The Xbox360 runtime was notorious bad and suffered from the WinDev/DevTools difference of opinions how the future of WIndows development should look like.

The past tense structure makes it sound like progress has been made on this front while it’s still the same problem presently. It’s just that those tools in particular have been deprecated (and not replaced)

I’d be interested to see a graph that indicates the actual amounts, in USD, that each country imports and exports relative to one another.

Should an airline let a seat fly empty, or accept a price that’s less than the cost plus profit of the seat?

If VBA can hook into WIN32 functions, why do you think a VBA parser/interpreter written in JavaScript using a native module that exposes the same WIN32 functions couldn’t do the same

Oh come on, let me have just a little bit of peril?

Uncle bob, who’s a bit “leaky” shall we say

And, in at least one revision of the tax bill you would have gotten to write all those maintenance expenses off.

So go is about recreating the wheel, over and over again

Putting NPM on a pedestal of badness is unfair. NuGet deserves to be right up there next to it, but also holding the bouquet and wearing the tiara and waving to the crowd

This methodology places way too much emphasis on the breadth of the tests into a test centric view— say you had a dep that had an SSL vulnerability - most of the time you’re not going to be checking for this type of thing at the level of your app, and doing so - but you bet you need to ensure that you are using the version of the dep that has the vulnerability fixed

>One is reproducible builds. The standard answer is lock files which is extra bloat and leads to merge conflicts.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too

Safari 11.3 shipped with PWA support including service workers. FFx 58 as well

And slow?

Well, not quite. From the article, 731.71 for the paperwork, but also an annual fee of 853.66. Additionally, a Registered Office is required, which they will provide for 2,500/yr. Rates are tiered based on income, and may be higher based on class of business. 731.71 just gets you in the door.

Oh yeah because it’s been totally stagnant! Right guys? Oh because it reports all the telemetry by default back to Microsoft, oh shit that’s edge. Because it’s been breaking web standards and trying to make the world chrome rather than being a world player. Ah got it.

What’s the difference between this and the plethora of AR games and apps that ‘trick your mind to believing there’s a whole world beyond the screen’

Using face positioning vs the accelerometer is interesting, but without seeing it in action, is it that much more compelling?

Even better if the investors who own the utilities do this -- they'll be potentially profiting on cryptocurrency while profiting on the infrastructure improvements needed to power the cryptocurrency mining.

>But investor-owned utilities (IOUs), which administer electricity for well over half of Americans, face another imperative: to make money for investors. They can’t make money selling electricity; monopoly regulations forbid it. Instead, they make money by earning a rate of return on investments in electrical power plants and infrastructure.

Wouldn't the next logical course be for IOUs to convince legislators of outdated/inefficient infrastructure, thus paving the way for infrastructure plans that provide tax benefits as well as real dollars to replace existing infrastructure. This would let the IOUs 'skim off the top' to provide profits on this upheaval for investors?

Where municipalities are unconvinced that they need new infrastructure either through insufficient budget or other reasons, IOUs could convince regulators that stricter environmental limits are required, forcing municipalities to pay for the new infrastructure, usually by allowing utilities to pass that cost on to consumers by tacking on additional charges to subscribers bills.

Seems like a prime environment for this to happen -- if the proper cogs were greased in this direction.

And we’re also comparing an aircraft designed in the late 1950’s and built in the early 60’s by slide rule (while still being extremely accurate) to modern spacecraft having the benefit of decades of materials and design technology

Latest earnings report didn’t include iMac Pro Sales.

IDC and Gartner reported in Jan of marginal increase in market share, perhaps this is what the OP was referring to.

Was going to say this, and in use by things like submarines and ships since the 60’s

Not just SpaceX critics, but many media outlets, including Ars and The Verge, who weren’t willing to give up a headline that was more compelling for readers to click.
