Does it matter if it works? (i mean, legally, of course... and morally... ) ... but as a solution, if it works, it works, right?

Removing a feature that already existed is a slight against apple users, period. Work was done and committed to REDUCE the feature set for a group of users. There is no watering it down.

It was done for rather childish reasons... and it makes no sense. It doesn't serve them. It doesn't serve anyone...

But its what I expect from GNU, and the FSF hardcore community at large... you know, the PETA of software.

"my" is the key word there...

Your argument sounds like "A man shouldn't be allowed to marry a man because I don't want to marry a man"

The problem with this kind of thing is this...

If its going out when it rains, its likely wiring on your house, not plant. Its probably past the point of demarkation (where you become liable for the line) ... 99% of the time this is the case (ex phone field tech)

You just raised enough attention to make it worthwhile to soak up the cost of replacing YOUR line for you...

Congratulations, you may have joined the ranks of entitled people who use public pressure to whine their way into getting what they want...

Jobs wasn't an asshole.

People confuse directness with being an asshole. If your results suck, saying they suck isn't being an asshole. If you feel that something is horrible, sugar-coating it to make sure you don't hurt someone's feelings is unauthentic.

Here's the difference...

When someone says "your product sucks, throw it away" .. with the INTENT of causing that person to feel bad, thats being an ashhole.

If you tell them that their product sucks because you genuinely feel that way, and you're simply communicating authentically, then you're not being an asshole, you're being authentic.

Here's how you can tell the difference. The former in that example get stuck at best in middle management in low-quality companies... the latter finds themselves at the top.

MVC never made sense on the frontend, unless it was a completely silo'ed frontend app with no backend.

$200 with no numpad - nope.

Bitter Tasters (those of us that actually taste Phenylthiocarbamide unlike the rest of you lucky bastards) are destined to grow old, i guess..

Most dogs and cat's however are domesticated and have been eating a mostly single-source diet for many many generations... some adaptation has occurred. There is a reason they don't give zoo animals kibble (aside from the herbivores who naturally focus on a single food source, and the pellets are made from that food source). Lions don't get kibble, and they don't even get a single kind of meat, they rotate their food, because if they dont, the lions become depressed and sluggish and sick. We're meant to eat a variety of food - the variety stimulates our internal biome which has more effect over us than just how we digest our food - our gut is basically a second brain and has a direct effect on our mood and our brain chemistry, and can even influence our thinking process (this is how when you eat something that makes you sick, you naturally avoid that thing for a while)

Well, thanks to sites like HN and Reddit, as soon as they drop some dumb stuff in the contract, it will be brought to the surface and informed people will at least KNOW... tahts a big thing

Actually, no. You're asking them to behave in the way you prefer. You see, humans aren't naturally driven to be quiet - we're a social animal. We have inbuilt need to communicate, and we're not built to sit in little boxes and stare at a screen in quiet all day. You're asking others to do that though, rather than embrace the natural way our minds prefer to work for many of us. You can use ear plugs, listen to white noise, use good noise canceling headsets, etc. You aren't at their mercy, no more than they are at yours. Your desire for quiet shouldn't overcome their desire for socializing/noise. Everyone should handle themselves, and not ask of others to concede to their wishes.

Ear plugs then? (Bose noise reducing headphones actually do a good job at drowning out office noise, even with no other audio playing)

The point is - its just as easy to block noise, so take the responsibility on your side rather than asking others to change for you.

So DHH basically hates whoever is the successful one at the time, I guess (or two).

Seems like the majority of the rest of the internet as well. Haters gonna hate, for all time.

You can! They have great noise canceling headphones these days, so go ahead and put those on and let everyone else do their thing?

Those two things are completely non relatable.

If your eyesight is bad, there are things YOU can do for YOURSELF to fix that problem, without asking anyone to change what THEY are doing.

The "quiet office" is something that only some people prefer. Many of us (I'm one of them) prefer noise - music playing, background noise, etc ... I find it hard to concentrate in silence, and I know more people like me.

To ask others to be silent to ask them to change how they comfortably work to suit you. Let everyone work how they work best.

Or we can adapt to the real world where people around us necessarily have an effect on us - and learn to live in that world?

We don't need to work in libraries, we need to just adapt.

could be similar to the Xbox One's button?

Its a touch button, so not necessarily "soft", but even if the console is completely locked, holding your finger on it for about 5-10 seconds will reboot. I'm sure they can do something similar (the far right side, if held down, will always be power, etc... and it can work as a touch power button only when the machine is asleep/off)

"It may be a difference in temperament. But personally, I like to reduce things in my life which require any form of attention: because I forget things very easily (or am just too lazy to do them)."

That was exactly my primary concern. In practice though, you (well, I, and most people) charge my phone at night. I set it next to the bed and plug it in... now my watch charger is right next to my phone charger, so its a no-brainer (and the wristband is fast on/off - thats important to me). Turns out because of the phone, i had no new habit to get into :)

The question is does this opinion comes from experience, or from assumption?

Having an Apple Watch now for about 6 months, I can say I love it, and none of those things (and I shared the same skepticism before buying one) have proven to be issues.

I don't tend to look at my watch when I sleep - so that one's easy, and when you charge the watch its in a mode that gives off a low-light time (nightstand mode, i think they call it). On top of that, it takes about an hour to charge, so often I end up charging it during my night time regiment, and by the time I go to bed, i COULD wear it (if i need to make sure I'm up early for something, i wear it so i get the vibration)

If you want a traditional watch, then get a traditional watch - comparing it to a traditional watch and holding to the same standards is not a position of common sense...

But thats not special to angular... right? You can write that in vanilla javascript just the same - the issue is that the script running in the extension is given the ability to do that. They dont seem to be blocking a feature in javascript, they seem to be blocking a lib that uses it. Angular can't do ANYTHING that any other bit of javascript can't do in the same context.

Angular is just JS, its not special JS, its just JS. If angular can do something, it can be done without angular so blocking angular does nothing to prevent the vulnerability.

Isn't any "vulnerability" in a JS framework a vulnerability in the browser's own handling of securing it? Like, there is nothing angular is doing that someone else couldn't do, intentionally, to create said issue, right? Wouldn't the correct handling of this to be to secure the damned interpreter thats running the code to prevent it from having the effect they are trying to mitigate?

This feels like a lazy shifting of blame

Can't speak for him, but I haven't. And I know others that haven't. Doing so only reflects an insecurity in your own opinion. I downvote for ad-hominems, or blatantly (easily verifiable) false claims.

Assuming that others downvote over differing opinions does paint you in the light of doing that yourself, though...

Ok, Fair enough... I guess I just looked at the size and didn't get to "mobile device" to take with you... so I just missed the point completely.. :)

Then you shouldn't buy any newer model car. Its still the question of the software... you may own the metal, but the software is licensed

"Speaking of phones and cars, try to find a new one these days without software in it."

Im not saying its hard to find them yet, but at this point 2 out of 3 toasters at my local grocery store have software in them - simple software, not connected, but software nonetheless, in a device that needs none, a device that has worked mechanically for decades with no issue... Everything is going that way though, becuase its easier to design something with software rather than figuring out how to make a piece of machinery make a decision mechanically - it easier to just use sensors and software...

So instead of a portable screen/controller like the WiiU that's separate from the main machine - the main machine IS the portable part that could easily be dropped/broken, now? Or am I missing something?

Im failing to see how this design is superior to the Wii U's approach

Those side streets were funded with the same public money as the big ones... and the idea that residents somehow have special rights to them is rather wrong.

Property owners claiming rights to how public property near them is used is rediculous

I think that's demonstrably false... if more traffic is using the side routes, it reroutes to other side routes... it distributes the load across the road system... my route is often different every day because of this...

I used an RPi for my hydro system, I grew a few generations of really good green "tomatoes" and had quite amazing yields... satisfied my geek side and my gardening side all at once... :)

Waze continually gets me to work through back roads and side streets in 20 min, a trip that in traffic on the "normal" routes takes roughly an hour... Maybe one day cars will have GPS on that level built in... but for now... nope
