Some of it ia just the way we talk about it. Both sides hated the bank bailout and wanted to do something about it, but the right said, "if my tax dollars are going to banks, I'm definitely paying too much taxes" and the left said, "me paying money to banks is the result of inequality.". The because each side expressed the problem differently, they fought against each other and they banks kept getting paid.
It's much much cheaper to get a travel trailer and a truck. Not only that, they are separable fr the vehicle, so if your truck needs repairs, you don't need to bring the whole house to the repair shop. You still have a place to live while the thing is being repaired.
Elegance is dead everywhere, even in the embedded world. To be elegant, you need to actually understand programming, and how to organize code. In the modern world, we use rule-based programming, like Java enforces in structure or Python enforces in syntax, and Golang enforces through convention. If you see a way to make things more elegant, your coworkers will tell you it's not the proper way to do things. We've lost taste in exchange for propriety. The result is that bad programmers are able to write acceptable code, but we're a bunch of prudes.
This will break a lot of websites that host images on a CDN or that use jquery, Because they often use the standard jquery location (which gets cached, and isn't actually loaded every time it's included on a page)
I'll bet the author of the article finished writing, and immediately went to check her Facebook. If the writing feels insincere, it probably is insincere.
Let's be honest, our modern society doesn't place emphasis on the individual. That was the entire point of a scene in Fight Club, calculating the marginal suffering required before a recall happens. Same thing goes with insurance, and actually it's impossible to run a country of 300million people while treating them as individuals.
I want to point out that your single sentence contains more interest and wit than the entire article put together. It reads like someone was given the school assignment "Why Facebook is bad" and quickly devolves into talking about Nazis.
I can happily agree that Zuckerburg is not a good person, but your single sentence makes that point more convincingly than the author does. The author needs to go read some Shakespeare or something.
One computer I support did the 1803 update and all the files were gone. The profile was still there, the files were gone. I found them - they were IN THE TRASH.
This is the funniest thing I read all week. I can't imagine the bug they had!.........good thing Microsoft is now running agile and don't use checked exceptions. It's easier when you don't think about what can go wrong.
FWIW Photoshop works rather nicely in Wine now, it has a "Gold" rating. Itunes works too, although with sluggish graphics. Check it out, it might be good enough for you. It has been for my needs.
Yeah, I agree it is convenient. App stores are a way of bringing the benefits of unix package managers to a wider audience. They are only a problem when they are locked down, because they become a form of censorship (sometimes accidentally). As long as they are not the only method of installing, they can be very nice.
Windows has a different security model than Android. In Android the apps are all sandboxed, for example. There are many reasons allowing sideloading won't lead to a malware infestrd OS, although iPhone fanboys have the dream that it does.
Let's be honest, at this point an OS doesn't need much development. It's basically old tech. They of course can add new features, but they are not in RAD mode anymore. This is definitely calling for a development methodology that is more stable than it is agile. Agile means you can change your plans overnight: windows doesn't need that.
Are you going to attack a strawman, or are you going to address my main point? You can't write reliable software if you don't consider all possible exceptions when you are writing the software.
However, I disagree with you regarding your claim that Fortnite has no malware. Absence of evidence is not proof of absence. You can't prove any negative.
I don't think you disagree with my point. I said "One of those has been found with malware."
I also note that you ignored the more serious problems mentioned by my comment nor did you offer any trace of a solution for anything. Oh, wait. Just par for today's Slashdot. [On the bigger religious problem, "There is no gawd but profit, and Apple is gawd's #1 prophet", I think the best solution approach would be a pro-freedom anti-greedom tax system]
I have no solution for this. The solution is love for and from all mankind?
this precedent will inevitably lead to kids side-installing malware to get their games.
Why don't you think of the children? That is an emotional appeal. Just like arguing that violent video games will lead children into a life of violence.
Encouraging people to download software from even less secure sites is NOT a win even if one of the corporate cancers is able to get a bit more profit.
The Fortnite website is not "less secure" than the Google play store. One of those has been found with malware.
You didn't describe checked exceptions, you described typed exceptions. Nobody complains about exceptions having type that can be compared against
You obviously misunderstood. I was explaining how to solve your problems with checked exceptions.
Checked exceptions are the list of exceptions in the throws argument that are checked against at compile time.
There are people who don't like checked exceptions because they would rather pretend errors don't happen. You can't write reliable software if you live in this kind of fantasy world. You need to think about what happen if there's an error.

You don't have a right to force people to listen.

"His name was James Damore."
Are you starting a fight club? I mean, you can't talk about it, but are you saying that........"In death we have a name"?
May they all lose.

It sounds like you are dreaming about how much better Apple iPhones are. Dream on friend, dream on.

Don't worry, Microsoft is working on machine learning to make the reboots better. There was a story about it recently.

The average smartphone user isn't prepared to use external sources, and if they do, it's going to end up like malware on Windows.
It doesn't have to end up like malware on Windows. OSX and Linux don't have the same problem, despite being open platforms.
I would rather have that money go to Epic (who actually built the game) than to Google (who is just doing some web hosting).

There were stories on Slashdot from time to time about this competition, if I recall correctly
