   Yeah the point is with an iPad you don't have a keyboard to ruin with dust, dirt and liquids. Sure you can't literally dunk it into a pool, but the lifetime is extended compared to a laptop, if you are a person who's not good

   Not exactly the answer to OP, but when we had to decide what device to buy for my mom, we bought her an iPad. Best choice ever. Zero maintenance, it's fast, she can do whatever she needs and wants and it's light and easy to move.

   I guess it depends on your system settings. I have my Logitech set up to almost max speed/acceleration so it felt very natural to me.

   It was such a big let down. How could the AI make a mistake in the route calculation?! Seriously though, amazing implementation and vibe! (and a lesson to not let GPT drive your spaceship)

   The difference is Apple has incredible momentum behind it pushing the Apple way. It took them decades to get to this point (and Steve Jobs, the real one).

   Did you even read the article? It doesn't even have superconductor properties. It's classed as a semiconductor with 2 free sites.

    Thanks for posting the photos, I don't know why I had this image of perfect square sheet in my mind. Of course it doesn't work like that and they are more like shreds. Very cool to be able to see them.

    I do understand the historical reasons. Javascript has been kind of the same for years, also because its usage exploded right at the beginning. I'm just saying that between the tools that we have today, if you take into account the eco

    What held me back from using Python more is the absolute madness of these tools and the ecosystem. Like, Node looks like a tidy ecosystem in comparison. I've tried almost all the tools in those venn diagrams in the article and I probab

    Agreed on this. And there's also great people in the middle who keep sales people up to date with new features and deprecations if you want the system to work.

    My thinking is that they switched to a more westernized diet full of sugars, instead of their local food. But then again it could be a thousand factors together.

    Question, that might be obvious to many but not to me: isn't space supposed to be empty? How is the mic picking up noise (= sound) just after detaching from the other module?

    Gov.uk is probably one of the smoothest government websites I've ever seen, even when I used it a decade ago (they had just rebuilt it in Rails and I talked to the team behind it). Very thoughtful people behind it.
