This is a funny cope.

>Believe it or not, full screen apps are a Windows thing.

Nope. It’s just that maximizing—single action to expand a window the whole screen minus the OS docks/taskbars—is present in every widely used OS except for Mac OS.

>they haven’t let go of the idea that all apps need to use the whole screen at all times

Not sure where you’re getting “at all times” from. Windows and Linux desktops all easily support having windows take up less than the whole screen. In fact, it’s easier than in Mac OS because of window snapping to sides and corners. It’s only that Mac OS makes it very clumsy to get the effect that maximizing has on every other OS.

Makes me think less of antirez that he doesn’t acknowledge that this is the same design as Microsoft’s BSTRs, which predate sds by many many years.

Maybe this is more productive: What point were you trying to make with your spam comment? And how isn’t it addressed by twitter abiding by viewpoint neutrality but not content neutrality?

Uh, if the class action damages cap is 500k then it’s only worth 500k to Google…

What a low effort and low thought reply. No one said it is. I’m saying there’s a principled way to have free speech and still take down spam.

In the government context, this problem is very aptly dealt with by distinguishing “content neutrality” from “viewpoint neutrality”. That’s why the government can punish spam emailers without violating the first amendment.

This is a false sense of understanding that many Linux users develop. You basically built a puzzle by putting together the pieces that fit together. And you have the illusion that you learned something about the picture drawn on the pieces.

You don’t really understand anything more except how to configure a system with a poorly designed configuration system. Installing a difficult-to-use Linux distribution teaches you nothing about operating systems, compilers, linkers & loaders, shared libraries, or anything else about the foundations of modern computing.

If you put your hand in the fire, no one has punished you with a burn.

And considering PPP, the US still smokes all the major European powers. What is your point?

That is how many people see the world. Mankind is collectively some kind of God that is responsible for your individual plight.

You could have bothered to read the article before posting the most obvious, dismissive thing.

So I agree it has to do with bad governance. But you deflect all blame away from the people in those poorly governed country, instead blaming wealthy people in other countries. I’ll say though, the worst thing the West has done to the third world is insist on democracy. Peasants don’t know what they need government to do, and the political classes in those countries don’t have the maturity to steer them.

What are you talking about? Everyone is eating bigger pieces of pie these days. A lot of the things we take for granted weren’t even available to wealthy people one or two hundred years ago. Electricity, running water, sewage, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, effective surgery, motorized transport, sturdy housing. Not to mention the increasingly universal availability of education. Sure, some people still live in squalor, but it’s a rapidly shrinking percent of the world.

That has to do with questions of what exactly the law prohibits. A lot of white collar law deals with the very murky line between sharp, but legal, business practices and prohibited conduct. Those kinds of issues don’t usually rear their heads in other kinds of cases, which instead tend to be contested on adequacy of evidence and criminal procedure (Miranda warnings, illegal search and seizure, etc.) grounds.

That’s only because of political entrenchment. If Europe loosened their labor laws and made other reforms to bring them in line with American business law, they would probably catch up to American GDP per capita pretty quickly. As it stands, US GDP per capita is 40% higher then even Germany. Do you think the Germans aren’t capable of producing at the same level as the US?
