Think about it for a sec. Steel or aluminium is going to yield a hell of a lot quicker than titanium. If you try to bend a phone those materials are going to yield before the glass. All the energy is going to break the frame then the adhesi

It was out of necessity because transit was fucking expensive back in the '90s. You had a national monopoly basically with a single cable to the US. Any other transit was satellite and had piss poor latency. Our ISPs had metered traffi

They literally have one click pairing to the Wifi hotspot on an iPhone or iPad logged in to the same iCloud account. Everyone has a phone. Why increase the BOM?

That's the problem with being an established market leader. You're so terrified of blowing up your own market that you're afraid to disrupt with innovation.

We really dodged a bullet on eSIM. The implementation could have really sucked if the carriers controlled it from the start. Apple do a lot of dumb shit but they set a really high bar for an eSIM implementation for others to match.

Even single tasked systems like MS-DOS still had interrupts. You could HLT the processor and a keyboard interrupt could wake it straight back up and resume execution anywhere in the MS-DOS kernel. It's just that the typical TDP of a CP

There is no excess labor left in the system. We just went through a pandemic where, in the US, 2.4 million people just vanished from the labor force. If there is a recession it'll be a fully employed recession where the fed has to keep

Not only will those employers competing for the best get the best, they'll get it at a discount rate because remote workers are on average willing to accept an 18% pay cut to remain fully remote. Employees are literally willing to pay

"When wrapped properly" is a lot more likely to happen in Rust because idiomatic Rust involves things like proper error handling and returning Result for fallible operations. I use libraries that have gobs of unsafe all the time.

In the Rust gamedev community WebGPU has become the de facto API for us to use through the wgpu crate. You don't get all the bells and whistles that you would get working with a backend API directly but being able to recompile to Windo

I miss coding in Ada. I wish Rust would pillage more of its features. Range types especially seem like they would be at home in the Rust ecosystem.

HDMI predates DP by 5 years, switching wouldn't enable any specific use case, and that 5 years head start means HDMI has market inertia. Yes we should use it because it's better but the practicality? There's so much gear that

Because the JVM has had 27 years of R&D work done to it. If you have a really hot path a JIT will typically continually recompile it in the background with more and more optimization work and start putting the loop through that progress

It was always like that. At all points throughout history. So law makers put in laws and regulations that had punitive fines on the conduct for businesses. 49 U.S.C § 32703, the law that makes federal odometer fraud a crime, was passed in O
