Mac OS development introduced me to Objective-C. Quirky, but I grew to like it. I think it was the first time I 'got' object-oriented programming. I had done Windows programming before and while it was 'fine', writing Ma

I have a personal M1 13" Air, and a work M3 16" Pro, and other than the silly 8GB limitation, I don't notice much of a difference in what I do when using the Air.

I never kept my ThinkPads around long because of the screens (which they have fixed, somewhere around the T450 timeframe. The X220/230 had that godawful 1366x768 panel. A shame when the 13" Air at the time had a 1440x900 panel, wh

They can run the whole park with minimal staff for up to 3 days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap?

I have a 43" LG 4K TV as my main screen for the last two years, it's great. I'd actually like something just a little bit bigger, 50" maybe? The trick for me was to wall-mount it and get a deep desk. I prefer to be at le

Ahhh....1280x1024 on a 19" LCD in 2001, it felt like a 4K monitor does today. 1600x1200 on a 21" CRT was king. though.

Doctors don't deal with insurance companies and billing. They have people for that.

> the doctors need to be payed more USA here, I think we need to pay them less. It's basically become a game of how little can they do and how much can they charge. Many already don't care about your symptoms, or bother to do
