As a nit, `brew install` and `brew cask install` use largely different codebases ;)

In the best case, the community does pick up the work of patching and maintaining formulae (and casks). However, that's the best case, and low-volume formulae rarely fall into it.

In my experience, formulae tend to get abandoned by the upstream that originally submitted them, causing them to eventually break when the system or surrounding dependencies change. One potential solution is to have a chain of custody for formula maintenance, but that hasn't worked so well for MacPorts.
> I am one of those idiots who still believe Apple is a hardware company and as with all hardware companies, software is an afterthought.

Perhaps at one time.. now I think they are an 'ecosystem lock in' company, and use hardware and software to achieve that means..
When would you use something other than grapheme clusters for backspace or arrow keys?
As a s/w maintenance experience, I completely agree. However, all of the package managers on UNIX I use tend to have global lock issues: apt-get update in parallel with apt-get install on Debian, or pkg install in parallel windows on FreeBSD exposes this. (that said, the fetch phase could be parallel and should be)

There is a bit of a consistent story about google products: things a computer scientist takes from granted like BOOLEAN LOGIC are just .. not there.

So you can't say in the google play store search (omnibox)

"SSH AND NOT origin:.cn" to try and get apps which do SSH but don't come from china.

or "SFTP or SCP but not FTP" somehow. (ok. that one might fail for a number of reasons)

I also think the marketplace of 'designed for phones' in a tablet world is a bit odd: where is the button to show me apps designed for tablets?
> Many of them refuse treatment or can't abide by the rules of the house, so they get kicked out.

> While millions of people here are painfully poor and have almost nothing, they almost all have somewhere to live.

I think these are the two key points. Many countries allow and tolerate slums and cheap, DIY housing that people own or 'own'. The US has not tolerated slums in 100 years, and the past 50 years has really tightened the regulations on the quality, safety and 'DIY-ness' of housing.

The poor get funneled into 'free' housing, but as gov't programs these are not owned and do not tolerate breaking the rules. Especially by the tax payers who fund them.

Not sure I see a quick solution as each of these are reasonable on their own. I do think cheap, 'ugly' housing owned and maintained by the low income ends up better than most gov't housing projects in the US.

They really want you to buy into their ecosystem. They want your Mac and iPhone pulling you into their iCloud/etc services - not unlike Amazon's Kindle hardware in that respect. Of course, it's my understanding that Amazon's hardware/os are more commoditized (since they run a modified Android, iirc).

Just a slight correction, Blue Box was a version of the classic environment that only ran full screen. It only made it as far as some of the developer previews. When Aqua was announced, it became the classic environment, where classic apps could be run along side modern cocoa apps without having to switch full screen between the blue box and the NeXT-derived OS.
Thank you, Lord! My prayers have been heard. I'm just happy that I am not the only one who got rants about the flat UI. It really should go away. The flat design was born from Microsoft Windows phone Metro UI, if I recall correctly, then other designers quickly jumped on the wagon and claiming it's the next greatest and neatest "UI revolution". What a joke! It totally sacrifices usability. The outcome? A horrible user experience, and job security for the designers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_design It was indeed first introduced by Microsoft with the name Metro Design.

This is racism, pure and simple. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program protected children brought to this country from being punished or having the only livelihood they've ever known taken from them because of their parent's actions.

But what's worse, is that this allows President Trump's administration and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to go down the list of every DACA recipient. All 800,000 or so of them. Their names and addresses are in a registry, and ICE will start knocking on their doors. What will we do with a million (or more) additional detainees? Many of them may not even know their country of origin, many are orphans placed in homes by the federal government. Will we detain them forever? Will we build our own gulags?

As the ACLU fights to protect the rights of immigrants from being abused[1] and ICE retaliates by seeking to purge records of detainee rapes and deaths[2], rest assured, this has the makings of something that looks a lot like what genocides and purges look like in fascist regimes. We have an oppressed minority with limited freedoms, registered by the government, now open to being assailed at their home or work for committing no crime, and the government is seeking to cover up abuses committed against them while denying them legal counsel.

This is sick.

> Ms. Ramos, the Apple janitor, lives down the road in San Jose. She pays $2,300 monthly for a two-bedroom apartment where she and her four children live. Before overtime and taxes, her $16.60 an hour works out to $34,520 a year. Her rent alone is $27,600 a year, leaving less than $600 a month once the rent is paid.

$2300 a month for a two-bedroom apartment. Service workers like janitors can barely afford to live here at all.

"To my mind, "dating" is about men spending money on women in hopes of getting laid"

Real romance does happen, I have experienced it. Not everything revolves around money, especially when you are younger. In terms of getting laid, women actually dont really care about money, unless they are using sex to get a relationship. They want to sleep with a hot guy that they emotionally connect with for short term sex. The emotional and personal connection is actually sometimes the most important, confidence matters.

"Our dating practices are rooted in a culture where men make money, women are primarily wives and moms. This is no longer true, so it should be no surprise that dating is having a crisis.

Though it is sad to read about how victimized the women in the article feel."

Generally its actually the opposite, women are not the victims. A large proportion of average men are not able to sleep with or date women of their same ranking until those women hit their late twenties. 80% of women are chasing the top 20% of men, with the rest of men occasionally "getting lucky".
I agree and it disgusts me. The "fuck you I got mine" attitude is a) sociopathic and b) illogical. It's illogical because someone else getting a leg up doesn't mean you'll be losing ground (the pie is mostly imaginary and we can continue growing it for a long time) and additionally, a society with greater inequality is going to hurt everyone. There's only so long this can go on for. How long will your gated community hold back the rioting horde?

That's one of the best explanations I heard about why and how the eye damage can occur. I'm curious how far can you carry that reasoning: If 99.9999999% of the sun were covered during a partial eclipse (down to a single stream of photons), does it damage one single rod on my retina as opposed to a crescent-shaped region? I'm guessing that a single stream of photons from the sun doesn't have enough energy to do any damage.

Not exactly your argument, but I much prefer the App Store to something like Google's Play Store. App Store, even though it has its issues, is a lot better simply because there is more oversight. There have been numerous cases where malware has gotten into Play Store apps, and only taken down once someone tells Google, instead of Google actually doing their due diligence as arbiters of the Play Store and verify each app before allowing it to publish. Apple does actually verify each app, and consequences aside this means I don't really have to worry about malware issues.

It would be nice if I could install something on my own, e.g. side-load an app, but I haven't come across an app that I've seemingly needed that for. I think the fact that you can only go through the App Store also keeps things consistent for the consumer, so they don't wonder why they sometimes have to install it using iTunes, sometimes through the App Store. Of course there's also the economics of Apple's 30% cut of App Store app purchases.

Back in the days when iOS was new, Android was fledgling and WebOS was flailing, I wondered why the owners of BeOS at the time weren't working on a mobile OS based on BeOS. Obviously the touch stuff would have taken some work, but the underpinnings ought to be at least as good as OS X and probably superior to Android out the gate.

Even funnier, when I wrote that I actually did just intend it in the sense of "could care less" and "couldn't care less" meaning the same thing. It was an example of how I had been too fussy about language rules.

But now that you've explained it, I see it works the other way too!

"Finally I learned to care less about these kinds of language rules."

There is something delicious about two seemingly contradictory phrases that mean the same thing, and one phrase that can mean two opposite things.
I hope you die an extremely slow and painful death when your time comes.
I think these comparisons are silly because they are trying to find some blanket universal rule. What works most of the time might not work in your specific case.

The sad reality is that this is not actually possible. This kind of inequality is a constant and cannot be changed. There is a segment of society that cannot pull themselves up by their bootstraps so to speak, and the way a society treats and cares for these people is the true yardstick of compassion and fairness.

"model vs reality" implies a very clear delineation between theory and data. Bayesian models muddle that up - particularly with (based on my understanding of) the standard model. (Insert the classic statistical decision theory debate about classic/Bayesian models here.)

What I really wonder about is how, if ever, we will refine our abilities to observe the finer grains - and to what extent that's possible. I remember physicists discussing the observations possible given particle accelerator size from lectures in undergrad. The future was not very bright.

Why is this ironic?

Jeff Bezos doesn't have time to micromanage all of his enterprises. It's also likely that some individual writers and editors at the Washington Post disagree with Jeff Bezos on nearly everything. These are managed by people who do have time to micromanage if they choose, but these managers are optimizing for more local goals such as making the Washington Post profitable, not large-scale goals like shaping society to Jeff Bezos' overall profit. Given current trends, it might indeed be profitable for the Washington Post to take this side on this issue. And Jeff Bezos might see that profit as worth it, or might not even notice in the midst of his other investments.

> Why does it have to be a political thing for every op-ed writing?

You're right, but most media companies in the US pretty much act as spokespeople for one political wing or another. They are all generally very biased towards the direction of their donors or owners. I also find it interesting that no(or few) major media outlets were so against big business until this recent election cycle. Why else would the recent election cycle trigger discussion on the declining quality of life for the lower and middle classes?

Or perhaps I am just too pessimistic nowadays. That is why I appreciate the feedback on my comments.

This is the unfortunate necessity of customer support. You may actually read help articles and try to work through possible solutions before finally sending a well thought-out, reasoned request for assistance, but tickets like yours are <10% of the total at best.

The vast majority of customers ask basic onboarding questions covered by documentation, questions entirely unrelated to the product because they don't understand anything about it ("hello Ford dealership, I'd like to report a pothole near my home. You deal with things related to cars, right?), or are things that could be avoided by making the product more user-friendly if engineering weren't focused on new feature development instead of addressing technical debt.

Chatbots (or the rough equivalent) are a necessary evil to deal with the bulk of customers whose first inclination to solve any problem is to call support.
Sorry that is not how the database market works.

> Oracle lives in a market protected by high barriers to entry and low customer expectations.

This is false. Oracle has a very tough competitor called Microsoft SQL Server. In fact, Oracle tries to catch up with many existing Microsoft SQL Server feature with its every release. Like it or not, the NoSQL database servers like MongoDB, ElasticSearch, etc. are also competitors of Oracle. That is why Oracle was forced to introduce supporting for storing, indexing and querying JSON in their database. This was a completely new feature that required Oracle to develop new querying syntax, new querying mechanisms and new constraint validation syntax. There are many such examples where Oracle is forced to improve due to competition.

> And no one, from CTO to DBA, makes any demand to substantially improve the product, such as by rectifying theoretical problems with SQL that have been recognized for decades.

This is true. But then everyone from CTO to DBA make a lot of demand in substantially improving the product in other awys, such as providing new features regarding scalability, robustness, security and auditing. This is why Oracle Database has seen a lot of enhancements in multitenancy in the last few versions.

> Why spend money on engineering when customer and vendor are both satisfied?

Oracle does spend a lot of money on engineering. Why? Because it has a lot of development to do in their database to remain competitive. If anyone thinks that the field of RDBMS is mostly a stagnant field and no new development happens in this area, then that is a gross misunderstanding of this market. Database market is still very competitve especially when Microsoft SQL server leads the game with modern features and as open source databases and NoSQL databases are eating away the market share.

See the following two URLs for example to see how Oracle has been adding new features in the last two releases:

* https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/NEWFT/chapter12102.htm

* https://docs.oracle.com/database/122/NEWFT/new-features.htm

While all this looks good on release notes, it is only someone like me, who has had the misfortune of being an Oracle developer, that can vouch that the development process and the development pace within Oracle is hopelessly archaic and painfully slow. Oracle still follows the waterfall model of development for example. There are probably hundreds of reasons and contributing factors to this. A few of those hundreds off the top of my head.

* Management that does not care about absolutely anything apart from their own promotion.

* A culture that rewards talking out loud rather than actual work.

* Top-down heavy handed management that provides zero autonomy to engineers, thus no motivation in engineers to innovate and improve engineering practices.
