There's a difference between code-you-don't-understand-but-copied-verbatim-into-a-source-file and code-you-don't-understand-but-you-linked-into-the-project. No one who is a competent software developer will fail to understand the difference.
You can be imprisoned for life for swindling people out of money, but contributing to the murder of thousands of people through fraud is only 10 years? The guy should have been given 3 boxes and an ADE 651. If he detects the bomb, he gets to live.
In the past several weeks, Israeli police and citizens have been gunning down Arab idiots who are stabbing people and ramming their cars into people. Many, many times, the Arab is killed before killing anyone. Tell us again how not having guns would keep us safer? There'd probably be several hundred dead Israelis at this point, if not for guns.
I know to shit heads like you, Israeli lives don't matter, but to real people, guns are a good thing.
Last time I checked, English was a natural language, not a technical language. As long as the meaning is understood, the expression is valid. In English, it's perfectly valid to refer to reciprocal relationships from either direction. If something is twice as far, it is half as close. If something is half as far, it is twice as close.
Click the Eject menu item was too hard for you? Did you have a Windows keyboard connected, so you didn't see the eject button? Did you not right-click on the icon and see the Eject menu item there? Dragging it to the trash is a hold-over from pre-OSX. You can eject media using all the same mechanism as any other desktop OS. It's a shame you're too stupid to get it.
This varies by person. I prefer text over images. I don't want long-winded prose when a good diagram will suffice, but I don't like icons. Symbols? No problem. Images? Horrible. I've been using GUIs since Windows 3.1, so it's not as if I haven't had sufficient exposure to the common set of icons over the past 25 years. My brain just doesn't work that way.
You should probably get new glasses. You can get rid of the old ones by stuffing them up your nose. I just hit cmd+P, to trigger the print sheet. The bottom of the sheet has 4 buttons (and a combo-button-dropdown thing), all of which look like buttons and are clearly "clickable". I am on 11.11.1 (El Capitan).
Let's solve all your senseless hatred issues by putting a loaded revolver to your head and pulling the trigger. If you don't feel infinitely better, take comfort in knowing that I do.
Assigning important functions exclusively to fancy, complicated gestures is a terrible idea.
This sentence immediately follows a rant about a feature that can be activated using 2 methods, the first of which you already knew. This leads me to believe you're an incredible idiot, and should probably never be given a phone with sharp corners, lest you accidentally jam it into your eye. Again.
Figuring out UI stuff on iOS is almost automatic for me. Doing anything on Android is an exercise in frustration. I guess Apple is aimed at normal people. It probably explains why you find it so frustrating.
I checked your example with the Weather app. It was so blindingly obvious that there would be more if I scrolled that I really just want to bash your head into a cement wall for being so stupid.
Hint: any time you see tabular data in an iOS app, there might be more if you scroll.
Apple provides a users manual for every version of iOS. When you purchase a device, there's a card/brochure-type-thing in the box that gives you the basics. It's only hard if you can't/refuse to read. I suppose that demographic would include senseless Apple-haters on slashdot.
If he hasn't done any user testing, or seen the results of Apple's testing, how does he know that his rant is anything more than a self-absorbed, narcissistic complaint that Apple changed stuff?
As no court of law in any country has found Apple guilty of illegal bundling with respect to Apple Music, I'm going to assume you're a complete asshole who deserves to have an iPhone forced up his left nostril. In other words, you're just a shithead troll.
...but nowhere else in the Apple ecosystem do you basically have to look elsewhere to get a decent GUI.
If only that were so. The Podcast app is an abomination. I agree completely with general opinion of the Music, by the way. I still can't figure out how to shuffle properly. It seems to repeat the same dozen songs or so, in a playlist with over 100.

Where did your knowledge go?

You can appeal any reason for a question being closed. You may have to be the question author, however.
Next time, the police should have just shot the shit. The damages for the accidental death would have been less.

Can we reopen Auschwitz and use the crematorium for stupid people running corporations?

Anyone who uses the word "enunciate" in this context can be safely assumed to be a complete idiot and asshole.
Seconded! I downloaded RSS Audio, and it's so much easier to use. I have relegated Podcasts to my garbage folder.

Just because someone has experience or works in a field does not mean they aren't trollish assholes.

The same one you use on a web page: color. Or do you have unreasonable hatred for every web browser in existence?

Correcting grammar may be snooty, but it's not trolling. You idiot.
In Mobile Safari, long-pressing a link brings up an action sheet that contains the full URL and alt-text, if any.
