  • The language and its standard libraries lead developers towards common patterns. Javascript's standard library is pretty sparse excluding browser-only web apis, so there are tons of external libraries to fill the gap for better or worse.

  • ... what? They could have more art or variation on the exterior, but the glass lets in maximum light to occupants specifically so the building doesn't feel confined and dark. You can typically see inside at ground level. The upper mirroring is to improve energy efficiency so it doesn't act like a greenhouse.

  • How many open source projects have 50 million lines of code like Windows, or legal agreements related to backwards compatibility and version support guarantees?

    A for-profit company is going to focus on whatever generates revenue, sure. But crappy software will lose customers in a non-monopoly scenario. They're not exactly incentivized to make broken things nobody wants.

  • Science builds upon itself. Find an answer with the simpler case, and then work towards the more complex ones once we understand some of the mechanics. It's like being upset that more funding is going to fighting specific cancers instead of generalized all-cancer treatments.

  • That's...a gross oversimplification. Super popular open source projects tend to have few bugs from the sheer number of contributors available to fix them, but active proprietary software has dedicated teams working fulltime every week to deal woth issues. Proprietary stuff is often way wider in scope than open source, so more surface for bugs to creep in. Scope and team size have a lot more to do with bug density than open vs closed source.

  • It's technically a tenancy dispute, but the actual problem is the same. Someone occupies a residence wothout permission. I agree providing tiny home style emergency housing is fine - there are plenty in my area and they are valuable for the community - but saddling landlords with higher risk results in worse rates (assuming no rent monopoly in the area) and agreements for the majority of tenants who are paying rent without issue.

  • I guess I'm the odd one out here, but squatter stories infuriate me. Signing a contract and then intentionally violating it is super unethical. The renting/income/ownership problem needs to be solved in other ways than letting people steal the property they're living in. Letting people stay in properties without paying significantly increases landlord risk and causes shittier contracts and higher prices.

    Also, if someone jas an eviction on their record, getting another rental is way harder. It's good to discourage it so people don't end up trapped unable to get another rental when they're back on their feet.

  • I don't get how a legal entity can somehow magically hand its liability to a ficticious subsidiary. If the suit is against JJ, how could it be pointed somewhere else? Like what is the legal standing for that...?
