It actually kind of is. GNU logos are consistently incredibly ugly and show utter disdain for, or lack of awareness of, graphical design [0].

It could be almost like a philosophical point: "GNU software is utilitarian. We don't waste time on fancy graphics". Or it could be that GNU developers tend to be... developers. No designers in sight, and no appreciation for visual aesthetics.

They noticed and adjusted their YouTube masters accordingly.
Although I agree with a lot of what you said, I perceive the last part, your post-scriptum, to be a little bit distorted. The Renaissance had many sources. One of them was the massive intellectual immigration from the crumbling Byzantine Empire, thus serving for much of intellectual works as a bridge over the time (from antiquity to enlightened medieval period) and space (near east to all over the Europe). And it was mostly Greek in its cultural background.

Just to show this is anecdotal, I have been using Apple notebooks for many years and have only ever had one problem. That problem was a defective trackpad. The Apple Store replaced the computer outright with the newer model as they were unable to get the part within seven days due to Christmas holidays. I hear good and bad things about customer service of all sorts of companies, but more often than not I have heard positive things about Apple.

Oh, sorry about that. Not sure if you're joking about the assumption of assumptions, but asking people to take note of their behavior based on something that they _might_ have assumed is not dangerous. Assuming gender roles is. Apologies for making that assumption, but IMO it's a rather harmless one so I don't see anything to fix about it :P
Type errors in programs don't come up nearly enough to warrant languages completely dwelling on them so much. Now, say, consistent argument order does help a lot if you are writing your own libraries, but I wouldn't place the blame there on the language.
I've got two rMBPs from 2012, one is 15" (with the infamous LG display, retentiongate anyone?), the other is 13". 15" is heavy used and has some marks from the keyboard on screen, but coating is intact. 13"'s screen is in nearly perfect state.

No "staingate" at all. Sure, there are many other gates like magsafecrapgate, yosemiteslowgate, unbearablyslowgraphicsgate and such. But no staingate.

How is that equivalent? If I'm a vegan, I don't need to pressure others into my own belief system and expecting them not to eat animal food as well (I could, but I might as well not). Expecting your future spouse to buy a diamond that they think is an irrational purchase is by definition forcing your beliefs on others.

To be honest, so is not being willing to buy a diamond for your partner that wants it, but that's the point, find another person who agrees with your expectations of them.

When my wife and I got married 25 years ago we were broke - I was studying for a PhD and she was about to go to law school - so no expensive rings for us.

However, what she does is buy a new inexpensive ring every so often and designate that ring her engagement/wedding ring. Recently she bought a ring with quite a large stone and she has been deeply amused that everyone thinks it a real diamond when it probably cost less than £50.
I wonder what she says to women who've had mastectomies?
If the legitimate border guards of a country are unable to inspect something to their satisfaction, they are well within their rights to force you to leave it outside their country, or to keep you yourself out.

Sometimes they will make decisions that are bad either for the people of the country or the greater global community, but smuggling is not the right way to protest.
(I can't read Bengali, so I'm not entirely sure what the johphola is, but I'm trying to relate this to Devanagari -- if my analogy is mistaken or if you don't know Devanagari, let me know)

I don't see anything discriminatory about not giving glyphs their own codepoints. Devanagari has tons of glyphs which are logically broken up into consonants, modifying diacritics, and bare vowels. Do we really need separate codepoints for these[1] when they can be made by combinations of these[2]?

I mentioned this as a reply to another comment, but it's only a Unicode problem if:

- There is no way to write the glyph as a combination of code points
- There is a way to write the glyph as a combination of code points, but the same combination could mean something else (not counting any rendering mistakes, the question is about if Unicode defines it to mean something else)

If it's hard to input, that's the fault of the input method. If it doesn't combine right, it's the fault of the font.

The difference, I think, is that Apple KNOWS about certain problems, e.g. Trackpad. If there's no water damage, then it's clearly a manufacturing defect. In OPs case, they thought he was lying because they'd never seen that issue happen without accidental damage.
My 3 year old Mazda uses a key fob. As long as the key is on my person, the doors will unlock and the car will turn on without me needing to press any buttons on the keys themselves nor do I have to turn my key in the steering column.

If you are unwilling to allow border guards to inspect something you are attempting to bring into their country, then you should be prepared for them to tell you to leave it outside at best or punish you for attempted smuggling at worst. I am skeptical of the story you linked as it's entirely from the perspective of the smuggler, but I don't see any reason to believe anything wrong happened there.

>Okay, but you could use that logic to claim (possibly validly, though I don't think so) that nobody should care about the Ivies because they only make up a fraction of schools (.08% times 5 = .4% of admissions, according to your data). This is not a sound argument, though, since very few of the 5 million students admitted to universities in the US would be competitive applicants at the Ivies. The pool of competitive applicants is much, much smaller.

Well, we mostly shouldn't care about the Ivies. We want to solve the problems of the masses, not of some Chosen Elect (even if the Choice is based on academic qualification, weighted by personal background).

I once had a Vaio that lost paint from the volume buttons. It happened to more people. They also said they wouldn't cover cosmetic damages. I kept bugging them saying I didn't pay the extra for a premium looking laptop to have this cheap thing happening. They fixed it in the end, for free.

I have a friend that always makes a huge scene at an apple store when something breaks (latest thing was a failure of the Ati card in a iMac from 2011), he always gets everything fixed, for free. You need to have a big mouth.
I discovered Hacker Monthly a little over a month ago and subscribed straight away. I rarely visit HN as my schedule doesn't permit it so having a curated well formatted chunk of stuff to read when I can was amazing and pretty much led me to buying a new iPad.

I'm so grateful for your hard work over all these years and having access to all the previous issues gives me a huge amount of content to make my way through.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is specially prevalent on the financial industry. It seems it's specially easy to make a lot of money in the short term if you're exceptionally intelligent and don't have integrity in the way -- but then you better hit home run quickly, because this potential doesn't last long. That's a hallmark of Buffet's success: he's in it for the long run.

Dynamic languages rely on test suites to catch bugs. The test suite is also software that must be maintained.

Statically typed languages apply typechecking as a "test" to the entire program at load time.

People have written and maintained code in typeless assembler, including for mission-critical systems. It's just more work and requires a different kind of rigor. The larger and more complex your system gets, the more useful typechecking becomes.

"Maintainable" is not a boolean, it's a cost function.
I don't think the defect is the problem but rather the communication on Apple's part. Problems happen, people in IT are most probably used to that. But a company should just admit the error and move on.

I personally had the same experience as GP (but ages ago): Bought an iBook G3 that had multiple main board faults every few months (that was a problem of the whole series). In Germany you can get your money back if a product has the same fault multiple times (i.e. the manufacturer is unable to fix the issue). Both Apple and Gravis, the retailer, acted so horribly despite the perfectly clear law and a clear paper trail of the multiple defects that I had to hire a lawyer to get my money back. Of course I'll never buy anything Apple again - not because of the defects (as said, that can happen to every manufacturer) but rather because of the awful response.
I agree with the poster on the size of the codebase and the complexity of the code. Quick and dirty is manageable in vim and the like. For anything bigger than a handful of files and build scripts, it's a different story.

About 2 or 3 years ago I was introduced to Rubymine (also by Jetbrains), and from there have fallen in love with their products. I have personal licenses for Rubymine, PHPStorm (of which WebStorm is a subset) and use IntelliJ and PyCharm regularly. Their products 'just work' (Linux, OS X and Windows), and the similarities/consistencies between the different editors make subsequent learning curves much less steep. I've been using the CLion EAP a bit, and will likely be paying for a license when it's released (simply because it works that well out of the box).

Conventionally iterating images is harder than conventionally iterating sounds...people typically speak faster than they draw. The success of text is that it abstracts over speech in the realm of drawing.

Text allows us to talk about the future. Photographs only let us talk about the past. I can write a description of a dish I plan to make. I have to make the dish to photograph it. A week later I can edit "a medley of peas and carrots" to "a medley of peas, carrots and chicken gizzards" without setting up lights and trying to photograph chicken gizzards in a way that distinguishes them from chicken livers.

The standard way to visually express a restaurant menu is by showing the actual food...e.g "Here is today's special" or "here is the desert cart."

Automating optimisations with Gulp
I genuinely have no special insight into what Linus is like as a human being.

I just think that his abrasiveness (even if it only manifests itself in a few circumstances) is a negative that people tolerate because he is such an exceptional project manager and programmer. The keyword is 'tolerate'.

Too often, people think that his success comes not from his technical mastery (which is very difficult to imitate) but from aggressive rants and call outs - and try to imitate those and justify it as 'well that's how Linus runs the kernel'. It's even more prevalent with people cargo culting Steve Jobs' personality flaws thinking it will make their company the next apple.

Bill himself said in the 90s - "About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
A lot of retailers will argue about this.

But the law is the law. If you threaten civil action they'll either acquiesce before the case gets to court, or be forced to acquiesce after it gets to court, because there's no defence.
This is precisely what the lactation consultant said. So, my wife couldn't breast feed for the first couple of months and we assumed that she couldn't produce enough milk. We went to this consultant and all she did was to change the feeding position by a small degree. After that our daughter fed happily. The problem was not with production but with the latching technique and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case with many women.

I do have a bias against bottle feeding because of our personal experience stated above.

He's right and throwing up "Continental Western European" as an answer really emphasizes that your picture of Europe isn't in line with reality. You are saying the cultures of Spain, France, Germany (and many others) is all the same? That doesn't make sense. And then you lump up the Balkans and others as if somehow that's another group with a single culture?

kryptiskt is right and not nitpicking. You are trying to take widely diverse people groups and lump them all together based on a general ignorance of the places you are talking about.
