@thomasfuchs I don’t understand how you’re getting “good” from that snippet. Saying “smoking is legal” or “dumping toxic waste in a river is legal” does not mean either is good or ethical or should continue to be legal.
From the rest of your image it doesn’t seem like the author is defending it at all. Quite the contrary, as they’re saying that a legal killing looks no different from a murder.
Maybe the rest of the article supports your point better? It looks like you and the author agree.
My ideal iPad is a 15" iPad Pro with an M4 Pro, combined with a Magic Keyboard with 2 Thunderbolt ports (that do both data & power) and a built-in second battery, that can run macOS and all my legacy software/workflows in a virtual machine, and can be operated entirely in clamshell mode from an external monitor. A drafting table when I need it, a pro workstation when I need that.
If such a machine existed, I would never buy a Mac again. That's what I've wanted on my desktop for the past decade
@bagder With the benefit of hindsight, what functionality would you rather not have implemented in curl, or not in the way it currently is, but it’s too late to change now because it’d cause breaking changes?
(I’m assuming something like that exists in curl because the probability of it happening in any software project increases with longevity and popularity, and curl has both)
@atpfm Question for @siracusa: Have you considered going back to doing your massive macOS reviews, even if not for Ars Technica?
I remember you mentioning they were a ton of work and you dedicated so much time that you ended up working less than minimum wage to write them while working a regular job. But now that you’re self-employed and presumably have a larger audience that is willing to directly sponsor you (podcast memberships), have you given it a thought to trying again solo?
