Go ahead and return it. Apple's pretty good about returns/exchanges after new product releases. I think you have 14 days from purchase to make an exchange, so hop on it if you really like the new systems.

"Won't fix" is the incorrect terminology to use. I'm having trouble finding a direct quote from Apple in any of these stories. My assumption is the actual statement is along the lines of "It was designed to be quie

I strongly disagree with your assessment of SQL. All of the questions that you asked have actual answers, but I read (from what I perceive as your tone) that you think these are all mysteries generated by an unknowable black box. While so

And once again I have to rant. What is the deal with companies announcing new products or services without actually having any details on their own websites?!? They go through all this effort to launch new products, but then they waste th

I like "The Computer: An Illustrated History". It's out of print, but available pretty cheaply used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1847320139/ for the original or https://www.am

I have some of the same issues, but I'm not part of any community slacks. I run my own consulting company, and as such, I've been invited to most of my client's slacks. So I've currently got 37 Slack workspaces going.

They don't provide guidance on product mix, but they do provide guidance on expected revenue and margin. For Q1 2018 they projected between $84-$87 billion and came in at $88.3 billion. Apple has been historically accurate in nailing t

Yes, fun story. In the early 2000's, I was working at a company that implemented the ecommerce website of a large electronics company. This company decided to start up a new add-on business targeting users of one of there existing pro

He's saying that the abbreviation (not the content) is just three letters. He's also conveying that using an icon instead of 3 letters doesn't really add much to the user experience.

Actually, no. A large majority of "olive oil" sold is either fake or adulterated. Those extra labels he mentions are to identify genuine and clean olive oil.

Can you ask your real question? Obviously you're not looking for just "yes" or "no". I'm assuming that you're considering doing a hackathon while fasting and have some questions or concerns. What are th

Can you elaborate on this a bit? What are the advantages to keeping everything in a single repo for the organization vs. a different repo per project?

No, I don't, which is why I posted my comment. To me, if Apple has the same amount of money as Samsung is worth, then it makes sense that they could buy them. But your comment makes it sound like that's an absurd notion.

The article didn't say anything about Samsung's numbers. I was replying to bitmapbrother who quoted a value of 250bn. In that case, I didn't understand how 262bn>250bn was naive. If the numbers are actually 300bn and 60

Are you kidding? I'm typing this on an 8-year old Macbook Air running High Sierra. Apple supports their phones 4-5 years on current OS's.

And the article points out that Apple currently has 262 Billion USD in cash. I don't see anything naive there.

I might understand this if it was for new customers going forward. But I don't understand how they can tell their existing customers this and not expect a lawsuit.

Bumping this. I also have an Autonomous desk and it's amazing. Super solid and also relatively cheap. I'm also pleased by the fact of having 4 stored settings so I don't have to manually adjust each time.
