As a child QBasic was amazing. It came with fun example games (Nibbles and Gorillas), a friendly IDE, thorough online help, and batteries included to write just about anything you could want on a MS-DOS 5.0 PC. I spent so many hours tinke

I’m more concerned about them from a security perspective. Most EVs are network connected computers on wheels. Driving a car like that made by a geopolitical adversary is not appealing at all.

The Army has been testing Microsoft HoloLens devices for applications like this for several years now. As far as practical Apple Vision Pro uses go, surgeons are using them in interesting ways... https://appleinsider.com/art

A wreck in the old minivan is financially less expensive, but isn’t the Tesla much safer for your child in the event of an accident? I can replace my car with insurance, but I can’t replace my kid. https://www.tesla.com/Veh

As a father of an about to be 16 year old, this is a very welcome and potentially life saving feature. I was already considering a Tesla for my next vehicle, but this makes it all the more appealing.

I think a lot of it is availability of software. If you support enough POSIX things compile with minimal patches.

Swing apps were also terrible for end users. The default “Metal” look and feel was just not very good, and the platform emulating ones were just uncanny valley. They never quite looked or felt right for the platform.

To be honest, that was its strength. It was brilliant largely for what it left out. I think it was largely successful as a language that superficially looked like C++ but without the sharp edges and foot guns. Also, it largely succeeded

I think Homebrew is the best solution for shipping open source Mac apps if you don't want to pay the developer fee or jump through any hurdles, assuming your users are technical enough to use it. The alternative is not signing your bin

Technically you just described an M-series MacBook. Even if you don’t like the BSD-derived genuine certified UNIX that is macOS, they are also supported by OpenBSD and NetBSD. Work is also underway to add support for FreeBSD. https:&#x2F

This isn’t specific to NASA or Congress. U.S. Government agencies will utilize whatever budget they are given, period. There is no incentive to be efficient. If there is leftover money in the final fiscal quarter you are highly encouraged

I’m a huge fan of Eero for set and forget no nonsense home routers. I bought a three pack and they cover our entire home easily with about 10-15 minutes of initial setup.

It seems that Apple intends people to mostly use WWDC videos to learn their newest tech.

Unfortunately I think computer books in general are on the decline. It's just very hard for that medium to keep up with the pace of change. This saddens me because it is by far my preferred method of learning new technology, but it c

In this instance they're talking about implementing network protocols, such as HTTP, where one end is the client and the other end of the connection is the server. It's confusing because the Swift language also has the concept of

The HN post says “Elon Musk to Ban Apple Devices If OpenAI is integrated into OS“ which implies users’ devices to me, not employees’ devices.

I read the headline as Musk banning users not employees. That’s a massive difference.

Actual tweet reads: “Either stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from the premises of my companies.” Which is not at all what the title implies.

I love NetBSD. I used to dual boot it and OpenVMS on an old Alpha Server I rescued from my college IT department’s dumpster. Unfortunately I don’t have that machine anymore but it was a really fun toy. NetBSD feels the most old school UNI
