condescendence

The real reason behind the disallowing of NSFW is Tumblr positioning itself to be bought by Verizon.

Yeah this just isn't going to replace Tumblr, Movim's user base and Tumblr's user base are two totally different user bases.

I do like it though!

>Domestic flights don't seem much faster or more comfortable than 10 years ago, and service has arguably gotten worse as usage has continued to increase.

It seems like this is a result of an industry "normalizing." Once something becomes mainstream the quality usually goes down but quantity goes up.

Sure the Concorde was innovative, but the ticket prices were extremely high. In the 80's IIRC a round trip ticket was $1000 from the US to the UK. Adjusting for inflation that's around $3k for a flight.

Taking a quick look....today you can get the same flight from 35 different carriers, little slower of course, but for around $600-1000. As much as people complain about leg room and amenities I think most people care more about price and availability.

The NYC model is rarely how taxi's operate.

My uncle was a taxi driver around the same time (maybe a little earlier?) and was paid a livable wage plus benefits.

>"There are so many drivers available that it's an owner's market," said Edward G. Rogoff, a professor of management at Baruch College who studies the taxi industry. "Drivers are competing for these low-prestige, low-pay jobs, which pushes their incomes down further."

You also missed the main part of the article. Simple stated there were too many taxi drivers. Now I don't know about you but if I were to have that many people willing to work for me its either the pay is good or working conditions.

This sucks because like the article mentions, it becomes an owner's market. On top of this it's also NYC. No taxi driver is gonna be able to afford many of the places they get fares from.

>"In '87, '88, you could make $100 a day, maybe more," said Sam Khan, a 37-year-old driver from Pakistan. But now, he said with a grimace, "maybe $60, $65."

when Vue went from 1.0 to 2.0 a lot of functionality became deprecated. So all those tutorials are basically useless now. I ran into the same issue.

Vue 2->3 won't be so bad because they're promising backwards compatibility.

>You’ll be adding similar boilerplate for computed properties, component state, watchers, etc. Pretty much everything in Vue has its own special syntax with more boilerplate.

I kinda like this syntax, when I first learned vuejs I knew immediately that some magic was going on in the background. If I saw marko's syntax I'd be wondering how this shit is getting done. It also makes it easier when searching for issues or suggestions. "vuejs computed property" vs searching generic terms.

>Chat based community

This part is simply not true, there's tons of individual vuejs communities all pretty decent. Shoot me for saying this but laracast isn't a bad option for Vue help. Everytime I have an obscure problem I find a solution on there.

>The reactivity system will only track changes under certain conditions. Don’t expect to throw anything you wish at it

This is the one part I hate about vue.

>Does this mean authentication logic goes in Vuex too? Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?

Been there done that. I typically use vuejs for lightweight applications solely because I do run into this issue.

Technical debt is definitely something to worry about, however I think most companies' first priority is a working product.

Technical debt is to be handled during the development cycle, not in source code and most of the issues you bring up (bloated software, version pinning) are solved in build systems and again should not be handled by source code.

Anyone working in an enterprise enviorment, especially that has clients on different systems, would instantly crumble without being able to target specfic builds.

Legacy and long term support software is everything.

>Go should reject version pinning as incompatible with the goals of Go.

This would instantly make go a 'no-go' in any enterprise enviorment.

Yeah this is the opposite of a click-bait title; it clearly explains what the article is about.

"may" lose data on "APFS-formatted" disk images.

This is a good point, I had some of my European based friends look this over for their feedback for kicks and giggles. They didn't find this offensive in any way mostly just stating the fact of living situations.

In my comment I tried to specifically point out that it was more demeaning than actual racism with some of the statements which are two very different forms of offense.

You mention the whole "PC" thing which is a good area for discussion on this article. Americans (myself included) have this SJW culture around being politically correct and I think it's leading society more towards inherent racism. My old college friends came from all over the world, and we would always joke about the stereotypes of everyone's background. They'd call me 'Murica and I understood where they were coming from, as did they when we had names for each other. Nowadays it's common that someone would be offended if we joked in the same manner, and we're missing the ability to break the ice between our cultures/ethnicities and be friends without perceiving it as prejudice.

The tone of this article seems to particularly demean the students in the beginning; I understand it's supposed to bring them to light but holy shit:

>They all ended up in West Virginia, not exactly the America you dream of when you come from Chennai or Bangalore. Probably not even when you come from Biel.

>Since then, their careers haven't really advanced in any significant way

>he looks less like an emissions specialist and more like a South Asian IT expert

yeah I just noticed that, good point. Although releasing as much OSS/Free software to every OS (regardless of status) would have been a better fighting route than "*uck you."

>But nowadays, people confuse Microsoft Windows, the successor to DOS, with a Unix operating system, and want to run mailx on it.

...huh

>If you want to use mailx, there is the technically and morally sane option of using a free Unix implementation.

I mean it's really not that hard to release a Windows compatible version. You change a single file name?

This just sounds like throwing gas on the flame war that is unix vs windows.

Yeah this is the thing I always come back to. UBI is without question needed in a highly autonomous society, but we fail to have proper flow on our already existing systems like Social Security.

A guy worth ~$62 Billion talking basic income; someone who's looking to lead the world in automation alongside Google and Amazon. Not to get all nutty, but it seems strange that billionaires are the ones to lead the conversation in basic income.

Sure they know more than anyone that automation is coming, but exactly how soon and far stretching?
