Sounds similar to Joe Armstrong's ideas[0]. Very interesting. [0]: https://joearms.github.io/2015/03/12/The_web_of_names.html

Agreed. I love that this came from noticing a "gap" and coming up with something to fill the hole. I wish I thought like this more often!

I've had the complete opposite experience with Titanium, to the point where it was completely unusable.

Swift's concurrency story is pretty much handled by GCD. IMO a fantastic set of APIs that make it pretty easy to deal with worker threads and queueing tasks and such.

Does anyone know of any good resources or papers related to bacteriocins as antibacterials? How much work has been done on developing something clinically relevant?

Um, I can send both video and photos through MMS all through the same messages app as SMS. I don't think there is an inability at all.

TSMC ships huge volumes, and that is indeed where apples manufacturing is rumored to be going. IIRC they recently signed a huge deal with them too. In this business though a mature process like samsungs 28nm High-K metal gate is quite valua

Keep in mind that the ARM processor space operates on razor thin margins, and Apple's iPhone business does not. Also it has been rumored for a long time that apple is moving most of its chip fab business to TSMC, but I suspect their wa

Correct, it's also not based on RFID like NFC is, and so can in theory be used for a whole lot more.

I've been using iOS7 on my daily driver since the first beta release and never had any problems whatsoever with battery life. In previous betas I've noticed this problem, not this time though, and certainly nothing close to what y

I really doubt that will ever happen. If anything I think it will end up being the other way around with x86 CPUs in phones.

I agree 100%. First of all, I highly doubt that one of the largest tech companies in the world would blatantly _lie_ in their marketing material. Apple claims that fingerprint data never leaves the SoC and is not even accessible by the OS.

I know how you feel! I started reading it on a plane, and I remember feeling cheated when the plane landed and I had to put the book away. Didn't the airline understand that reading Surely You're Joking is more important than thei

This does indeed look awesome, but the article doesn't fully explain what it is that prevents us from scaling ordinary transistors further. If I understand correctly electrons start tunneling when transistors shrink to around 10nm (cor

I don't know what is special about emulating a ps3 on a PC, most mainstream PCs and GPUs are faster than the Power-PC based cell processor in the ps3 (an 8 year old console). Even the ps4 does not contain any better graphics processing

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the RAM. Processors take a significant chunk of the platform power while RAM in almost all cases does not anymore.

Key word there being "only". Still a pretty damn large and expensive facility. The fact that they most likely will have some sort of redundancy notwithstanding.

Quick, coin it! I suggest Xottabyte. As a fallback tough we can always say Octilion Bytes.

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. With that logic I could say my laptop is designed to store yottabytes of data, just because I think that maybe at some point in the future it could. Either you are incorrect or that wikipedia art

I don't quite understand how you can say the ARM chromebook is close to the macbook air as the dualcore A15 in that thing is nowhere near the MBA performance wise. I don't doubt that it's a nice machine but ARM still has a very long way to

Especially in a time where even low-end consumer processors are enough for most people (even power users), I would argue that one of the most important metrics when buying a laptop is fit and finish. Not having 200 different SKUs in their
