Honestly I used to think the same way about JS, because not having types allowed for very concise code sometimes. But the more I used Swift I realized how powerful type inference can be, and the difference in conciseness shrunk to basicall

I feel you. There’s so much good stuff out there. But you’re only capable of handling so much. You’re under no obligation to process every piece of information you think you might like, and moreover - you shouldn’t. You’d be setting yoursel

IIRC the main appeal of CoffeeScript was syntactic sugar like lambda expressions etc that were missing in ECMAScript 5. I think ECMAScript 6 made most of the appeal of CoffeeScript obsolete

Waiting to see if people on new ATX 3.0 PSUs suffer the same issues. It looks like the 12VHPWR cables don't bend very much close to the connection itself.

The Swift code that's generated is pretty good, but I found myself pretty much immediately wanting to edit it. I now maintain a separate copy of the templates that implemented some missing features of the spec that I needed, and adjust

Exactly. This is why I got into indoor boulder climbing. It's hella fun, and as long as it is I'll push myself without even trying.

Wikipedia says the iPhone 5S was released in September 2013, So that's about 6-7 years of updates. The chart you linked seems wrong to me. Am I missing something?

But the existence of competition or lack thereof can have its own effects, some of which are actually desirable and make the iPhone have the draw that it does. If Facebook had a worthy competitor for example, surely you'll agree Facebo

I'll quote another guy from this thread: "I like that TrueCaller on my iOS device works for most features without getting any permission from me, while on Android it refuses to buzz from the splash screen unless you give it every

Worth noting that WebP support was added to Safari 14 in Big Sur and iOS 14.

Wow man I'm really feeling that. I also have a great 16" and I'm experiencing similar issues with it. The new M1 MacBook Air is already as fast as my machine and costs less than half. It's bonkers. I use two external mon

I don't see what's stopping these developers from lowering prices for users in less developed countries.

Have done the same in December 2019. I'm telling myself I really need 2 external monitors, as that's what I use at home. The M1 machines only support one external monitor (even in clamshell). Not a lot of people seem to be mention

I thought maybe you can use two with the lid closed, but looks like that's a nope: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m1-macbook-closed-lid-d...

I firmly believe that it's downright impossible to give a great experience with the same UI using touch/keyboard+mouse. You're just bound to have ugly tradeoffs in usability xor visuals. It also seems to me like an ergonomic

I'm also seeing significant stuttering on Twitter on Big Sur on Safari 14.0.1. Chrome scrolls smoothly in comparison. Same deal on Reddit. Then again it was still the case before Big Sur and Safari 14, so I can't call it a regress

They also doubled (!!!) the SSD speeds, at least according to their slides. Presumably swapping will be much more seamless, so I'm not sure low RAM would be a huge issue for most day to day tasks.

But not for the Pro or the Pro Max. Also, the iPhone 12 has an OLED screen now, a decidedly much more expensive screen. To be clear I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't share your certainty here.

What makes you so sure these savings weren't passed on to the consumer? I wouldn't be surprised if the addition of 5G alone ate into those savings, and they kept the prices largely the same in spite of it. At least it seems that w

Some of my highlights: - "Irreparable Harm: The issue of irreparable harm focuses on the harm caused by not maintaining the status quo, as opposed to the separate and distinct element of a remedy under the likelihood of success factor.

There's a postal service bank in Israel as well. Lots of people use it, it's a fine service. They also offer fantastic foreign exchange rates, pretty much the best I think.

Generally you can't remove a login choice that easily. If you already have your own login + 3rd party logins, removing a 3rd party can create friction with your existing users. If you only had 3rd party logins, then you can either remo
