This may be a huge ego trip or pure gatekeeping, but I never wrote anything that I expected people to run, look at the pretty pixels, and be done.

You cannot be truly impressed if you don't know the effort to put that art into a tiny file or abuse the hardware in ways never seen before. If you never fired a debugger or other development/reverse engineering tool, then you missed most it had to offer. And IMHO you never connected to the artist in any way.

Fun fact, most docker hosts will allow access to all your files anyway! (specially true on docker for mac, which all the cool kids(tm) here are using). Even if you restrict container host-FS access to a source repo dir, mind rogue code changing your .git hook scripts in there or you might run code outside of the container when committing ;)

Another slightly relevant fun fact, USB is a bus. That means that any device can listen in on any other device. And USB access is given by default to some X-enabled docker (--tty something), and to most virtualbox machines (including the hidden one running the fake docker linux host on docker-for-mac), and more recently Google-Chrome. ;)

Good. That's a feature. I install addons. It's not a site i visit with no consideration.

This is the same thinking of apple. People install random apps so let's restrict apps to the point the user cannot have a text editor on their phone! meh! This is all dumb!

Now it is impossible to have the choice to install an addon for tweaking hidden options. Everyone should live with the crap that is about:config and user.js (or only about:config, because they thought user.js too dangerous on mobile too!)

I trust an open source browser by random people, why not an open source addon that gives me the functionality i need?

It suggests installing many closed source, Advertising-ridden apps from the play store.

And to one of those ad-ridden apps, it even suggest you use adb to give it supper powers of sorts.

Microsoft own previous gen Xbox emulator on the next gen xbox (i think it was original xbox emulated in the 360, but i might be wrong) was impacted by the team having to reverse-engineer the GPU because nvidia refused to let the emulator people to have access to the documentation provided to the original team.

That means: "our last industry hack, Privacy Shield Framework, was shot down for the second time, making it dangerous for us. Now we use the even more dubious one, until it is shot down too"

Nobody uses youtube because they love it. Everyone uses youtube because google effectively killed all the competition by sliding billions of investor money to DMCA backers. And well, this one time it worked out nice for them, i guess. But it is not a business practice I will support. Fortunately, i'm technical enough to play their cat and mouse game to consume creators who are hostage to their monopoly on discovery.

No.

But also ignores the military power. Which plays a huge part on why the dollar is always so strong, regardless of how much is printed.

When Saddam decided to sell oil in euro, or Venezuela decided to accept gold, the US was ready to bring democracy and peace.

On a free market you can't shut down a bakery if they decide to buy flour from your competitor.

If you people really liked the keyboard, you would be praising the two last phones from blackberry.

physical keys, ctrl+a/c/v/z! it even have a gimmick that acts as a touchpad. and bloatware-less android (well, less than a pure-google anyway)

only downside of those phones is nobody managed to get root yet. But that is more an android issue. And some people might actually prefer a phone with no root entry points anyway.

They are as dumb and undesirable as incomplete regex email filters in web forms.

Every single one ever written will have this problem. And ironically, absolutely nobody reading a fart joke will ever be offended. But the millions of people who are denied service and not twitter famous enough to reach a dot-com employee are very much offended.

...Also, the single reason to add those auto-censorship features is to please advertisers, not to protect users/drivers from fart jokes.

Expect Advertisement on lyft very, very soon.

that makes no sense to me. DARCS also claim this, but if you have the patches all changing the first line to a different value, obviously the last one will dictate the final value of the first line. Which is the same as git. in what world do you want to change orders of patches and not have the final state change?

Hire someone to design a plastic mold, pay for the work, never hear from that person again.

It is insane to expect anything more than a tax code, that is only retained for some few years in some dusty finance department file cabinet.

There is no source control, design history files, CD/CI, etc in a factory, i.e. 99% of small to medium business. Silicon valley and fintech are the exceptions, even today, let alone when that happened.

Also, it is a bunch of old timers recommending one another for work. The people on the floor and owners definitely know the person, but will not tell unless they have to.

The ajax part was not that innovative. As with every product that succeed, the content was awesome. How did a startup with 2 people living "out of maxed out credit cards" in early 2000s even acquired mapping data in the first place?

Tech behemoths, full of privileged people on top, use the false pretense of respecting pronouns or other minority demands, to actually oust people that care about such issues in the first place?

It is a closed invite-only product.

They try to mislead saying that the only downside is learning a new language. Every good programmer loves to learn a new language. The actual, real downside is license/lock-in/ownership.

...Their website is hosted on Medium, not gitlab/hub. I rest my case.

Ironically, attackers would have access to more valuable data (and more freedom of movement) on your personal/dev box than on a monitored production host.

everyone forgot the only purpose of amp? to give in to google so that you can get not-banished from their search results.

why would anyone apply a pernicious SEO technique to email?

what's next? an article on why rat poison on bread is a bad idea?
