The 2015 MacBook Pro sucks least <https://marco.org/2017/11/14/best-laptop-ever>

Misleading: they aren't cancelling the X any more than they "cancelled the iphone 5 in 2012". After followup comes out they won't keep making the X as last-year's-$100-cheaper model, that is all. Read more rebuttal https://daringfireball.net/2018/01/iphone_x_one_year

micro.blog implements a few of those protocols, websub & micropub, kudos to Manton Reece. He links to an interesting group that seems to be more relevant than the W3C: IndieWebCamp <https://indieweb.org/>, and info about the connections between the two groups <https://indieweb.org/W3C>

IDIOT: "earth is flat!", YOU: play this video

makes littlesnitch freak t.f. out. if websites start doing this kind of networking more often, do i really have to resort to adding a wide open rule for my browser?

Corporations are people, why not come full circle and make all people corporations at birth. Black is white, up is down.

Thanks, Obama! Oh, which one is bull again?

    /// Designate this instance as suitable for being released
    /// once it is out of scope
    fn autorelease(&self) -> Self;

Note, this isn't quite what autorelease means. Often the time between the instance going out of scope and when it's actually released is significant.

PR#3 from <http://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/apple2.shtml>, with green text on a black background for maximum nostalgia. Very narrow & effective on my laptop screen. Considering switching to Input Condensed or Compressed though.

Second page & I'm already totally in disagreement. Its not the object-oriented-ness of the books first counter-example that's confusing, its the use of a monstrous, confusing expression. And the functional "contrasting" example has a similarly inscrutable expression. How is that better?

And part of their "improvement" to the example is to transform the expression mathematically, so now it has almost no relation to the original intent. Again, its not at all clear how this is better, or if it is, how its harder to do in the OO program.

The ideas behind functional programming are great, but nearly every example I've seen has these over-extended, inscrutable expressions.

And PayPal wants to be in the middle every time you do a FIDO login. No thanks. #sqrl

Look at the 3rd to last code block, especially; I claim it self-evident that C++ is irrevocably broken.
