It's a work of historical fiction that fictionalized history in order to tell a fictional story about a fictional character. Not a documentary. Like Netflix says, the case has no merit. they're not saying her feelings have no merit or that they didn't say what they said, just that the lawsuit has no merit and they have a legal right to say what they said.

It's an extremely dangerous precedent to set that anyone offended by fiction can sue the artist and win. that precedent would also have the inverse effect that an independent author could write a piece of fiction where Netflix lost to Blockbuster and went bankrupt then Netflix sues that author for offending and misrepresenting the company's history.

> complex apps like gmaps and Google docs were written entirely in JS

I always assumed complex Google apps from that era were built with GWT, which would mean Java.

That's what that was!? I aways wondered why some people would end their emails to me with "J". At first I thought it was a typo, then I thought it was just some encoding issue. Never knew I was missing out on smiles.

Tab is great for auto-complete.

This is the moment that our robot overlords will point back to in order to justify their cruel reign.

I think it's stupid too, but every job posting lists required years of experience.

Ok, thanks. I was thinking more from the point of view that programming is a skill and skills develop with hours of practice.

I'm surprised average hours per week or per year wasn't on the list. This also just confirms how grossly underpaid I am.

Maybe this is important, not because it an accurate representation of dyslexia, but because it can simulate the effect of it. I could read everything pretty quickly and accurately except for some of the longest words, but I got this feeling of my brain's CPU overheating. At the end of the article I was frustrated and tired. I wanted to stop reading. This is coming from someone who probably reads tens of thousands (or more) of words per day of articles, emails, comments, and source code.

`font-weight: 100` and `color: #757575` for body text? It's barely readable on a retina display. It's an eyesore on my PC.

That's because underlining is inferior typography. It's from back in the typewriter days when the only way to add emphasis was to back up and put underscores underneath the text. Either bold or italic is more preferable.

Might want to change that one discount code not to be "byfag25."

Wow. How did I go years without knowing this about the repl?

Does this mean that because the previous statement, "Apple has never received an order under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act," is missing, that they have received at least one order?
