i love how you packaged your sarcasm and irony in such an innocent-looking question.

makes me wonder when people will realize that "full stack" and "devops" are great ways to have less persons do more things and save a bunch on salaries. a gold mine for my corp.

you‘re not alone.

the js world is full of people coming from jquery plugin development. they‘ve been thrown into unknown waters by react, angular & co because „javascript“. but they don‘t know shit about everything that happened before their time.

it seems like they‘re very good at marketing though. i came across folks in management naming react as a solution to everything. even to design problems.

we have at least two problems now. sjw and js.

it‘s sad.

i have been told somewhere on the scary internet that the nature and architecture of a mac makes the ME dysfunctional because everything else is apple-made. custom chipsets and so on.

"The Stasi records agency said its attempt to virtually piece together the history of a surveillance state was without a precedent in the world."

ever heard of "five eyes"? shit that's going on as soon as you travel? noticed all the cameras around you at the train station of your choice?

the stasi may have been less subtle. but it's a joke.

the verification check is completely useless for me. it has forever been. is that just me?

everything twitter management does is just complete selfish bullshit. they should be a 50 people operation and do one thing: publish 140 char messages and show ads. problems solved.

the most brilliant thing about this: apple sacrificed magsafe for the clusterfuck that usb-c is.

eu tax crackdown.

just another smoke screen while "the union" is on fire to keep the sheep calm and comfy on their fucking couch. greece? nobody's talking about that anymore. britain's decision to leave in peace? they're screwing around with that. catalonia? shows you the "values" of this great europe.

votes have shown that people are greatly unhappy and the clowns in brussels have nothing better to do than to pretend a few corporate bucks will benefit the people.

New comment by glasz in "Bitcoin is fiat money, too"

glasz — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 08:26:32 +0000

please don't focus only on technical details. digital currencies, btc in particular, are breaking the bank's monopoly of creating money. that's the real revolution. states and banks get into the topic of such technologies not because its better but because they see what may happen and they want to control the outcome.

there's high potential for people gaining freedom from the west's monetary system. but i'm very pessimistic about us getting this right and not loose "control" to state and corporate powers exactly like we did with the internet.

apple doesn't just buy panels off samsung's shelves. they have samsung produce according to apple's specs and samsung is, by contract, prevented from using apple's tech.

thinking they just put galaxy displays into iphones is just bonkers.

for a reason. apple's oled is technically superior to other oled displays. that's the way with many things apple does after others did them. they let others rush their crap to you first.
