I'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than hate targeted at one group? What a world.
And for the record, I'm not a fan of purity tests or waiting for Superman. Just because they haven't scrubbed Jobs doesn't mean they are unfit to have made this move.
yes, but also with 100+ years of engineering, for far fewer companies/nations, and with trillions (more?) thrown at the discipline. Software engineering is, what, 50 years old, tops?
Highly recommend David Clarke's work, especially his Sherlock Holmes readings. For me, he's the best Sherlock narrator I've heard.
He also runs a chain of Houston coffee shops; their mugs sit proudly in my cabinet! Felt great to compensate someone for many many hours of public good.
I lived in the south for some time, and being from the midwest ('no' accent), I was always called a yankee. Sometimes as a joke, but there were plenty of cases where it made me feel uncomfortable.
yep, and even something as 'simple' as images is difficult. If an image gets removed from the feed, it typically must be removed from the listing page. Tons of little things like this make the data incredibly prickly.
Another common one: people posting that they're going on vacation or posting pictures from vacation while still on it. Sure, your friends might not break into your place, but what if their laptop gets stolen and the thief sees you're not going to be home for a week?
This is awesome! We're looking forward to ST_AsTWKB. We've had to do some interesting things to get our data small enough for use on the front end, and hope that this makes our life easier.
I do agree that it should be up to the professionals, but consider amateurs moving into professional sports.
If college football players can't take steroids, they will get __destroyed__ in the NFL. If college players can take steroids, then highschool players will stand no chance at moving up. Likewise, if you make it fine for high school players, middle school gets punished, etc.
I don't doubt that professionals could successfully regulate it and do it (mostly) responsibly. I have a severe lack of faith in desperate parents living vicariously through their kids in little league games.
