They're inherently convenient and fast to use. As I'm typing, it's far more ergonomic to take my middle finger and swipe on the screen to scroll than to reposition my hand to have two fingers on the trackpad. For extended r

Which is simply not true. Decades of touchscreen PCs show this isn't the case. My Surface Laptop 3 is 6 years old with thousands of hours of use (including constant touch and a fair amount of pen) and the screen isn't scratched

>Where does the money come from that allows one to sleep in hotels, ride in rental cars, travel in airports, and eat in restaurants for years on end? If you keep your standards modest, the math isn't as bad as it intuitively seems.

Pandering to the few diehards who can pay attention to more than 100 games a year on every day of the week including weekdays for 4+ hours at a time is not a sustainable way to build or maintain interest in your sport in newer generations.

So long as you ignore the Surface RT/Pro 1/Pro 2 (that is, devices from 2013 or previous), all Surface pens since 2014 work with all devices through today. The matrix doesn't seem particularly complicated.

"Absolutely nobody" is trivially false. Baseball games are way too long even before they get to extra innings. The two hour limit is the most important rule change that makes bananaball superior (but their other changes are also u

It was definitely true at some places. My first job was web dev using the LAMP stack. The "developer" side of the house would generally write something up, wrap everything in a bunch of divs, and hand it off to the "designe

This is just an ad that doesn't even describe what their proposed solution is. "We don't like Figma. We don't like designers and developers being split. So we built and are selling.... Another tool for mocking UI desig

University towns are exceptions that the rural and suburban parts of these states largely hate. They are the tiny pleasant exception to the whole that is not representative. Ann Arbor is a nice town. Bloomington sounds like a nice town. T

I lived in the area for more than 20 years, have annually visited family living there for my entire life even after I left, and consider myself quite qualified to comment on the area, the people who live there, and their culture, thanks. I&

Then again, that stretch also has Gary. Having grown up in that area of the Midwest, I largely agree with the author's categorization, except that "people on their way to somewhere better who got tired and decided this was good en

You never need to use everything a language provides. You find the parts useful to you or your team and use all of them. I was a C++ developer for a decade and knew a fair amount of the C++13 spec but never needed to use even half of it in

Directing an area is very different from the title (or compensation) of Director, and it's certainly not equivalent to Director in a tech organization. SWW was hired as "Manager of Global Public Policy" but the book never in

In a Solar Eclipse you're getting a tiny fraction of the sun's energy and it is still enough to very quickly cause long-term physical damage to your eyes. Looking at the sun during not an eclipse is even worse.

No, there really isn't. Money laundering has been a huge problem enabling all sorts of crimes and issues. There is no debate to be had on the benefits of prohibiting it, and you have to be very deep in the Silicon Valley rabbit hole
