Why does this, of all things, have to be electric? It's a wing suit. They're basically strap-on death. Their glide ratio is somewhere between a really bad plane and a brick, they're unusable in any shape or form for real tran

We already have those, they're called "parachutes". They're easier to operate, safer and don't require power.

I use Ubuntu on an officially supported Dell enterprisey machine (E7400) and the experience is noticeably worse than on my Mac. There are no multitouch gestures, there's screen tearing, 4K video playback on a 4K screen is choppy, sleep

I'm almost sure they couldn't. I can't quite put my finger on it, but that's just not how Apple does things.

Soo, how do you handle this on the client? If wiretapped, then dummy_encrypt(message) else encrypt(message) ? Or will they just dummy_encrypt anything and read the stuff that's "wiretapped" at the moment? Because that sounds

I don't think he's talking about the guy who mugs him. More like about the guy who mows down a crowd with an automatic weapon, the guy who drives a truck through the center of a Christmas market or the guy who blows up a metro sta

I was trying to make the original marbles in envelopes comparison work a little better (the "holy f*ck this doesn't make sense" aspect), not to actually explain the phenomenon. I hope no one got confused. There's plenty

I have -- attempting to play Minecraft on a touchpad, or just multitasking real quick. While not a huge problem, macOS does it better and the simple measure is just that - a simple measure.

The way I understand it, this is exactly the simplified (and incorrect) explanation. Say SOMEONE ELSE puts the marbles in two envelopes and sends them to you and your friend in Australia. (it's someone else because we don't actual

I believe it's the moment when there's a solution that just makes sense and works well for most people. A gold standard that other solutions will try to develop more and spice up, instead of reinventing it.

Absolutely, but this guy didn't need Unix "underneath", he just needed Unix without the pretty and expensive UI on top of it.

by Toutouxc 6y ago
Sounds like the guy wasn't really the Mac target audience in the first place. It just kind of worked for him on the Unix side of things and all the bells and whistles we justify the steep pricing by were merely "things he is now g

Is 'Maybe Haskell', mentioned in the article, worth reading? Or can anyone recommend a similar book of the 'just enough to be dangerous' kind on Haskell or maybe Clojure?

> the exact same syntax as Ruby I would be very careful with that statement, because it's simply not true (example: no type-related syntax in Ruby).

That's not what the original sentence says at all. Every minute spent not working is free time, that's pretty much true no matter how much work you do. And you can use that free time to actually live, i.e. have deep, meaningful ex

Naturally aspirated != carb. You can have a naturally aspirated engine with electronic (even direct) injection, or a turbocharged engine with a carburetor, or any other combination.

My european bachelor's degree (three years in the Czech Republic) literally says "software engineering" on it. We also use the czech equivalent "inženýr" (Ing.) as the name for the master's degree.

Also what kind of effect on pricing it would have. Surely if everyone's baseline income increases, it creates a safe buffer-of-a-sort that necessities' prices (housing, food) can comfortably consume.

Yeah, except it is NOT a "maximize" button and never was. macOS just doesn't do maximized apps the way Windows and some Linux DEs do.

So I've read through the README and I still have no idea how it works or what it even is. Is this a concept I should've heard of before or is it related to some other project/concept?
