If I had to guess, the typical Arc user is a Mac user in tech. It doesn't run on Linux, most windows users wouldn't run it, and non-tech people haven't heard of it. Then most engineering IC people will most likely run Firefox

In your example, I am not saying you need to give the dev access to prod. But you should be working with the dev to figure out why he needs access to prod and figuring out what needs to happen to make the end goal happen. Getting read/

Yeah, but that's because it's Apple. If the same hardware was made by pretty much anyone else, I'd probably be interested. It's like the iPad Pro. It could probably replace my laptop if it could run real Linux. If the co

The "problem" with software is that the margins are "too high", so companies _usually_ don't care. The general attitude I've encountered is that the engineering salary dominates the cost, so it's usually n

It depends what you mean by "engineering". You need to understand the "memory model" (I don't know the proper term). So that memory has addresses, you can point to them, the stack, registers, etc. I have met many so

If the DRM is coming from Google, I'm sure they'll take that into consideration when designing it. Feels ripe for an anti-trust lawsuit, but IANAL so who knows.
