For all the projects I work on, they are coded to standards and the message that the powers-that-be tell users: "If it doesn't work in your browser, get a better browser".
Projects are tested in latest of Chrome and Firefox. If something doesn't work in IE, TFB. The same will apply for Edge.
"their pretty nonsense" and "checking their phone"
And yes, I do mind someone distracting me by "discretely" checking their phone. Because it's never "discrete".
And Alamo is wildly popular here in Austin; not just with the petty movie-goers.
Moral of the story: grow up and watch the movie.
I do a lot of learning on my own time to benefit my next employer. If I just relied on what I need to know to do my day-to-day job, I'd never be ready to get the next position.
Indeed his argument is full of logical fallacy. It could just as well be said that "We saw Apple under Sculley, and we saw Apple without Sculley".
Jobs was a visionary; will Apple be different without him? Almost certainly. But that's a far cry from "doomed".
Snap!
That one scene is the most fascinating in the book! On first reading, I got nothing out of that scene. In fact, thought it was boring to tears.
Then upon a re-read a few later, I was completely blow away by how much sub-text there was beneath the dialogue.

Hair? I ain't got no hair!
Just turned 60. Still coding. Tried the management route. It's not for me.
BASIC, quickly followed by FORTRAN, Cyber assembly, and Pascal. The latter I loathed.

Java is really good as a server-side language; but who's still using it in the browser? That's stone knives and bear-skins.
Also, Grey Poupon.
Not even at gunpoint.
Age has nothing to do with it. I'm 57 and still have "the passion". You either have it or don't.
Unless there is a need for the end user to edit the document, docs should be sent as PDF, not an editable format.

Absolutely this. I'm 56 years old, short, fat and bald. Being "hip and groovy" is the last reason I prefer my Mac.
Can Monopoly money be far behind?
Fuck that shit. Been there done that. Come back when you are in your 50's little boy and we'll talk.
What does Java have to do with JavaScript -- besides the stupid naming decision, that is?

Wow. The barrier to entry for getting an article on slashdot has really lowered, hasn't it? How is this even worth the blog post?
I love Dune the novel, and much as I'd love to see it "done right", I'm not sure that's possible for many of the reasons already outlined.
But, why isn't anybody tackling some of the other great Science Fiction stories just waiting to be filmed?
Off the top of my head:
