Unix used to be about simplicity, and the composition of simple tools to achieve very productive outcomes. The shell was a part of that: learn it once, and you could do more-or-less anything with a Unix system. Including manage system sta

6 for iOS, 20 for web ... how many for Android? And how many for backend? And devops (or are they included in the "operations" category)? Even on that incomplete data, I'm a little surprised that web is 3+ times iOS.

Agreed. And in this case, the rubber failure is almost entirely aesthetic: it does keep the screen away from the lower chassis/keyboard when closed, but you don't need _all_ of it to do that. In my case, there are a few spots whe

You quite likely can? Especially if you go to a non-Apple, but Apple-authorized repair shop -- they'll have access to the parts, and will likely be willing to do it. It might be an integrated component though? ie. you might need to p

Two thoughts: Why have discreet values in the UI? Give me a slider, so I can set it just right! I've read that blind people set their screen readers insanely fast: like, 10x or whatever. So, 2x seems like it might be a lot too low fo

2014 MacBook Pro, and the rubber around my screen is also failing. But, honestly, it's 9 years old and still going strong. Which is exceptional for a laptop used basically every day for those 9 years.

I did this. I was told to use CentOS or pay for the developer license thing at USD100/year. Which I did. It's not a lot of money, and it gets me access to support, more docs, etc. I don't really begrudge them that fee, giv

Did you ask them? A quick call along the lines of "Hey, we talked about this, and you haven't taken up my offer to demo a solution -- please, I won't be offended and this isn't a sales pitch, but could you tell me why th

Your designers don't have former colleagues they can ask? Anyway, I've recently been enjoying the Oxide and Friends podcast series, and they talk a lot about the (high level) issues they experience with hardware design, testing, m

That's the problem with the vision of a Linux phone as being "iOS/Android-like, but without the corporate control". For an open phone to be truly successful, it has to be better for its users, and in a way that's

I think this is a massively undervalued point of view, and I agree completely. Especially if the company is using developer engagement to build. The day will come when they're too big for that, and all the stuff you liked will steadil

So now you need a phone, maybe with USB Ethernet, and you write an app that exposes a REST API, and you call that? Not a great solution, I guess, but ... zip-tie/hot-melt the hardware into a box with a fan and I guess it'd be most

Without (yet) having an opinion here, that's not necessarily true: resource consumption is adding value to the system at a level that might offset population growth?

I think, overall, you're right: the "open" nature of C++ (and C) has been a key factor in their success. ObjC became available in GCC via NeXT (although somewhat despite NeXT) and so it was more-or-less equally available for

I think the thing that irks me about this discussion is mostly the tone. The whiny, entitled, "I demand that Apple makes a device that suits me exactly, and if they don't, they're a bunch of fascist assholes" vibe reall

Except the criticism here is of Apple, for preventing "side-loading" (and, presumably, for requiring Apple's certification of the installed binary). For that, there is a clear alternative.

It's not like Python adoption and use was significantly boosted by Python3: it was and would have been just fine without it. The problem with languages written by language designers/implementers is that they often don't know

I've used many dedicated GPUs on an almost daily basis for over 20 years. Mostly for graphics, but sometimes for GPGPU, crypto mining, and ML training. My point is: Apple doesn't want to support external GPUs, because they'v

I've used Pinboard for years (10 year anniversary coming up in July 2023). By "zombie", I mean that it continues to function, but it's a dead product. Support is often non-existent, and there's been no enhancements

Early personal computers used a basically passive backplane (eg. S-100 bus). After that, the Apple ][, IBM PC, and later Macintosh models used a motherboard with expansion cards. Throughout this era (from, say 1974 through until 2022), the
