Those are really good highlights. Also I don't know the details of antitrust law, but I'm not sure it's an antitrust issue if they're applying the same rules to everyone including themselves? And it's not like Apple is competing in the space, so you can't argue that they're hindering competitors.

These folks give a very detailed comparison between nuclear and even best-case scenarios for renewables. I think the best thing anyone can do entering this debate is to follow the math and stop talking in general terms.

A lot of smart people talk about the flaws of OOP: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yegor256.com%2F2016%2F...

This article does a really good job of breaking down all the broken promises of OOP: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40cscalfani%2F...

It's a shame a lot of the open source community isn't familiar with what's going on in the Swift world. Protocol oriented programming is a huge game changer. But as with every tool, I think you still have to pick the best tool for the job. You'll never find the "one tool to rule them all".

Comment Commercial Developers aren't support (Score 1) 263

In addition to the many other good reasons people have mentioned, another reason that Linux doesn't do much on the desktop is also because the lack of a good commercial ecosystem. It's nearly impossible to buy software for Linux. And if you try to write commercial software for Linux, you'll understand why. It's just not possible to support all the variations of libraries that people have. On top of it all, GLIBC is LGPL'd. This means that it's only going to be possible to distribute as a shared library, which makes packaging up a commercial binary to run on all distributions less straightforward. It's still possible, but it's yet another hurdle for commercial developers to go through.
