> Fixing 174 would mean handing a tax break to the same companies many voters in both parties see as symbols of corporate excess.
This is frustratingly accurate. Through a zero sum political lens it'd be a handout to "big tech," so many politicians argue for keeping this on the books, but in reality S174 deeply affects small companies, new companies, boutique agencies, and individuals who want to consult or start smaller operations. I worked for a ~20 person shop that was gutted by this tax code change. It completely changed the affordability of talent.
I have a TidByt in my office and this feels like the printed version of that. The ability to choose and order the sections of your daily newspaper from a library/app would be slick.
I am a longtime and proud Firefox user, but this feature of Chrome is the one thing I want. When I see colleagues using it, it just looks like the right way to tackle that need.
With VirtioFS on the scene I just don’t have this experience anymore. Docker for Mac is significantly faster than it used to be, particularly when using named volumes.
Mutagen also improved the experience but I prefer VirtioFS as it’s “built-in”
> The words 'reticulate' and 'spline' both have dictionary definitions, which has led several people to determine a meaning for the phrase, such as "to make a network of curved elements." However, Will Wright stated in an interview that the term itself is meaningless, as SimCity 2000 does not reticulate splines when generating terrain; the phrase was included in the game because it "sounded cool."
US sports are already headed there. Proprietary apps help them control (eliminate) the secondary market in two ways: they broker transactions between people (app-to-app) and prevent scalpers from transacting paper tickets.
MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL all do this with league-branded apps and/or partnerships with Ticketmaster, etc
Book series targeted at young readers benefit from this composition. My 8yo son follows a few series and he laughs about it when "the formula" reveals itself, but still enjoys the stories. You have to remember a novel – even a short one like a Goosebumps book – is a lot to keep in context as you're starting out reading. The predictable ebbs and flows of a series book help readers focus on the language and the things that are unique about each issue and mystery.
When we together read longer books that can't be consumed as quickly – like a Harry Potter novel – he has to work with me to remind himself about the callbacks and references to follow along with the increased nuance.
I loved the Goosebumps books as a kid and they will always hold a special place in my heart. It's a shame the basic structure makes it hard to enjoy them as much on a reread as an adult, but that was never the point.
