Living in the Era of Infinite Computing Power
- TeMPOraL 15y ago"Are you taking advantage of living in the era of infinite computing power? Have you set aside fixations with low-level performance? Have you put your own productivity ahead of vague concerns with optimization?" Many people do, and here I am, with a crappy Android phone I wish I hadn't got. A phone that can hang up for a minute or two when you want to access your text messages. Posting a Facebook update takes 10 minutes. Everything is unreliable and can crash for random reasons. My old, very low-level SE K800i had a much better user experience. Maybe computing power is infinite, if your application lives alone on your computer.
