> It remains that the culture is not a good example of equality. If you take context into account, inequalities in Athens were actually pretty decent compared to other places. For one citizens were equals (~10% of the population, males o

To be fair, one probably wouldn't go much beyond malloc lest they at least roughly knew how memory works, heap/stack, etc.

I've often dreamed of this, especially when it seemed all too obvious for MS to release an Android phone; then again after ubuntu/bash on Windows. But whereas it seems like a golden opportunity for MS, it would essentially be Goog

I think the word you're looking for is "familiarity", insofar as it describes a particularly efficient means of recognition. E.g. humans have become pretty good at identifying cats. I don't see a fundamental difference b

The fact is that Facebook is not a media company. In some countries (e.g. most of Europe) where this distinction makes tremendous differences (the media being much more regulated than other for-profit companies), they are pretty adamant abo

And that's assuming all the sync and backup worked well, which even on day-to-day use between and iPhone, iPad and Mac can be a bit of a pain (pictures not syncing, etc.) Given their insane means, I don't know how Apple manages to

Assuming most people will live in some Augmented/Hybrid reality by the end of the next decade (2025-ish), the likes of Magic Leap, it seems that a physical keyboard will gradually become too cumbersome an interface, largely relegated t

Or maybe they knew all that, being the communication gurus that they claim to be, and it was a desperate move to be bought, essentially saying: "hey MS you got cash and loads of engineers but you can still fail at that because _reasons

I commend your platform agnosticism. A sane way to approach paradigm shifts in computing, imho. Which I personally extend to Android/iOS.

As a rookie programmer (but 10 years in IT, loving maths), this was my thought exactly. Basically a matter of field/domain definition, insofar as humans still have to interact with the code. In short: most enterprise code should be ele

I think it should be obvious that "designer" means nothing, from a web guy doing basic 2D stuff to a CAD engineer in need of GPGPU passing by a video editor on CUDA, there are at least 3 entirely different needs/use-cases. Pr

Something tells me many "pros" feel exactly as you do. I wholeheartedly agree.

Could you elaborate just a bit? I was about to recommend some Surface flavor to a designer friend, I don't know about the jitter you mention.

Even if your numbers were right (as others said, $700 is more like i5+1060), I have one word for you: formfactor. The Studio's base is to be compared to the likes of mac mini and intel NUC I think. As someone owning a full tower I don&

I had to make this very choice for my new workstation this summer and I went with 40" 16:9 4K (Dell 4317PQ iirc) because I wanted the vertical space. It's "retina" when sitting about 80cm away which is fine for that size

Assuming a company the size of Apple has more than enough resources to develop decent software on any platform, I think it's fair to assume they willingly make subpar versions of their apps on what they consider to be "rival"
