The reason for not bringing iMessage to Android was because parents could just buy cheap Android handsets for their kids. First of all, why not create a product for that niche (nevermind, we're talking about Apple). But what actually b

German here, I encountered a broken ice machine maybe once but it was actually broken, not out for maintenance or something.

That's not a good comparison in the context of games. It would be more akin to have a subtitle or commentator that explains the meaning of the movie or the purpose of certain shots. If you lack the intellectual acumen or knowledge to g

I will miss the Intel Macbooks. I use a 2013 Macbook with Bootcamp for freelance work. It's close to perfect. I don't want to maintain 2 laptops for Mac/Windows work. If I could work on an ipad I could imagine having an ipad

Exactly, the Mac has very biased defaults but is open to customization. The iPad is very biased period. It’s „you’re using it wrong“ taken to the extreme. The device should work for the user. Every time I see a convoluted iPad remote webdev

I figure you never used a Mac. They're not great but way better than Windows. For starters, I don't have to turn off 30 checkboxes to turn off telemetry, I don't have things like candy crush preinstalled, I don't get a b

That’s not the same as cluttering dev tools with ads (though I agree that the Apple OS ad situation is bad)

No I didn't get that quite right. Still GHB is a major improvement upon alcohol and I think the dosage problem is mainly an issue of illegality. It's fairly dosable and redosable when you know what exactly you're ingesting. A

I adore the name of the language.

by emsy 6y ago
It already exists: GHB. The problem is the drug’s reputation and the problem with dosage, which could be alleviated when legalized. It’s also addictive but then again, so is alcohol but alcohol wrecks your health.

They can't have a lot of confidence in their product being superior when they have to resort to these kind of tricks. I mean I knew about the lock-in but this actively makes me want to avoid Apple products.

Dogmatic rules are for people that don’t know yet when to break the rules. Ironically, a lot of lead engineers I worked with don’t know that this is what dogmatic rules are for so they impose them to appear competent.

Kudos to you for recognizing that. I know “senior” developers that wouldn’t see this effect from them or their team even if you told them. I know because I did, multiple times. It’s futile. Your best move is to leave in that situation.

> It's still mind-boggling to me that it's possible to get (a constrained subset of) C# to beat hand-optimized C++. That sounds interesting, do you know if there are benchmarks available?

That’s because usually, boys don’t go on the internet and peddle their crappy action movies so much so that you get in contact with them whether you like it or not. Add to that the inward and outward flowing toxicity these fandoms seem to p

That's what it started out as, but these days it's used as a cheap status display. Effectively, the so called empowerment of under-priviliged groups is what holds them down and that's deliberate. Otherwise there would be no g

I read somewhere that SM64 collisions have no fancy optimization but are just brute force and a first glance at the source seemed to confirm this. Which shows that 1) you really don’t need to optimize prematurely 2) something is very wron

Do insulin users have a drug problem? I think at the core of the issue is that our society generally regards psychological ailments as a personal flaw, rather than a health issue. (I’m talking generally, not about the professor from the art

It's also much fairer to your paying users, since they'll end up paying the bill for the free users.

Inefficient software is deployed to millions of users and can cost a lot more time (and resources/energy). Also, I’m fed up by bad software eating up all the performance improvements of modern hardware. It feels like we never got faste

My rule of thumb is the less actionable a piece of advice is the more “likes” it will get. It’s not about getting better but feeling better. VC Twitter is full of this crap.

I dislike FB as much as the next guy, but disabling an account full of content you paid for on a whim is wrong regardless of your stance towards FB.

What if you have an Oculus account linked to your FB account? Suddenly you lose all your purchases (I'm very glad that here in Germany sales of the Oculus were suspended over this practice).

I use VSCode with a vim plugin. I’m mostly happy with it. As opposed to Vim, VSCode makes it easy to setup as a general purpose IDE. The downside is that it doesn’t feel as responsive (it’s not terrible, but noticeable) and has a larger mem
