A lot of us care about the charging port being on the bottom. It’s ludicrous. I can leave any top of the line Logitech mouse plugged in all the time and never have to even think about charging.

But you don’t accuse of them of lying on the way out because you have a strong disagreement. That’s a guaranteed ticket to a very expensive lawsuit. Either there’s more to it or the board is staffed by very naive people.

Apple was not dying in 1985, when Sculley fired Jobs. It wasn't "near bankruptcy" until the Spindler era a decade later. Jobs didn't hate the Apple I and Apple II. He wouldn't have partnered with Wozniak in the firs

That solution doesn't work in practice because a nontrivial number of those workers are perfectly willing to exploit others for their own personal gain. Turns out people have flaws. Unions are the best compromise anyone's found be

The biggest problem with Star Trek was that it didn't run existing Mac software, and you couldn't emulate the 68k ISA reasonably on x86 at the time. The key piece of Mac OS X on Intel a decade later was translation software for Po

A deque will usually work just as well in that environment and it will always have better general performance characteristics. There are very few legitimate uses of linked lists.

We can have both: space exploration and a more livable Earth. We don't have to choose. If you're serious about wanting to leave the planet, you should want the planet to be able to sustain life long enough to allow for that to hap

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. TrustZone is a technology for resource isolation. At an extremely high nontechnical level, it's conceptually similar to memory protection.

I still have an original RPi model B serving as a PiHole for my home network. It never was a toy.

I don't know if that's true yet, but there are a lot of FOSS and infosec and other software people on Mastodon. Centrist politics seems to be gradually migrating to Threads; lefty politics seems to be going to Mastodon. I'm s

It actually used to work like something like that in the early 2000's (?), and then the rules were changed to give the power back to the big telcos again.

This is a silly argument, though. GC has a clear de facto meaning. If you say "Garbage Collection" in a room full of programmers, they're going to assume the traditional meaning, as seen in Lisp and Java, where you have somet

Has to be the right sort of complexity, though, or it makes the user's tasks worse over the long term. Every C++ project is already a dialect unto itself and this proposal would very much not help the situation.
