This is a question for the sake of curiousness; the article writer shot a couple of pictures of young black kids. I can't find any mention in the article, but is this just coincidence or is this commonly done becauses the darker skin i

Good one, yes. It was like that in Objective-C, and in the early versions of Swift. I know you know this, but it's useful to summarize for myself: Basically inheritance is the wrong tool for this kind of stuff. NSMutableArray inherits

What is your experience with design done by students? Because mine isn't great. It's not bad either, but it's just... mediocre.

There are many. We have an online supermarket with an app (Picnic) who don't support iPad, don't support landscape, don't support dark mode, etc. I bet it's due to product managers not caring about those.

Also, every iPad has a full window server. So any app that was available for iPad, should've been resizable in any shape.

I'm not a webdev, is that surprising? Or is it more something that you would have wanted or expected?

Init can become a hassle. And I'm not the only one, I remember listening (to a podcast?) where Chris Lattner himself remarked that there were many nitty-gritty details to the init phase of objects.

I thought you were joking but that's interesting, I hadn't realized it was so wide. So I looked it up; closed, it's 84 mm while my 14 Pro is 72mm. That's quite a difference.

You say it's pretty much never worth it to make layouts for foldables/tablets. To be worth it, could mean multiple things. But for the love of perfection, the craft of coding, and of UI design, I think it's totally worth it.

Oh gosh, it leaves the edge exposed. Crazy. I would not, under any circumstance, use that official case. My experience; I walked with an iPad Pro in my hand and I went to an interview, so I was a bit nervous. I let the iPad slip out of my h

What do you mean? Would you want to unfold it, then put it in your pocket?

My kid is in primary school, and there is one parent who did not give their child a mobile phone. In the WhatsApp group, they also keep promoting books and videos about how others also should do the same. The thing is, my kid doesn't s

I hate this weird, manipulative and soft language.

Congrats with this achievement. Do you see it possible that this project can be integrated into, for example, FreeCAD?

He does it all: the YouTube face, the math floating around, non-working greenscreen, some memes and then he goes camping (including a Blair Witch style run through the snow). This is so brilliant.

I am guessing that pantone is a bunch of colors that are coded a certain way? Isn't there a common mechanism across design software? Like PDF is the platform agnostic way of sharing documents?

It's not Apple in general. If they release a new Mac Mini, it's fine. The thread when the Neo was released, was outright jubilant. It's whenever macOS is mentioned, it devolves in extreme negativity. I always, always avoid th

It also surprised me that the author said "4 Cores, Xeon Server CPU can be had for cheap". But the specs also said ECC RAM and I don't think the N100 supports that.

Somehow, Windows 2000 does not look dated to me. It looks functional and usable, and maybe even somewhat fresh. I never actually used it long-term (during college, started using Linux), so it can't be nostalgic. Anyone else feel the sa

What a strange opinion. If it helps you do better at work, why wouldn't it be something to encourage? Was he a judgmental person in general? Or do you think he had an aversion to meditating? I do have to say, if you were encouraging hi

I had the same with my motorcycle. Every time I brought it to the dealer, they came up enthusiastically with things to spend money on. Your tires are done! Your break pads are gone! With the help of a friend, I got into doing (very) basic m

The voice thing didn't work well enough, in Dutch at least. I've done an in-between. We instructed an AI as the client. Then as the teacher, I'd represent the client and would type. Students would form project groups, and eac

It would be cool to design custom aluminum brackets for the fans. However I found that although ordering 3D prints is very cheap, using (for example) PCBWay for CNCing something out of aluminum is very expensive.
