Of course you do, Apple's selling mobile SOC's not high end cards. That doesn't mean they're incapable of making them for the right application. You don't seriously think the server farms running on M4 Pro Max chips

It's been a similar pattern with ADHD, it feels like its almost been turned into a trend. Although that being said we've had a number of people at our place been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism and in some cases both, all developers,

I cant say I'm a fan of Elon but he got it right with SpaceX. Space is expensive, stupidly expensive. There was zero chance SpaceX would've been able to survive this long if they'd not focused on profits. Reusable rockets bro

Thats about the only area the Pi is superior at this point. For the usecases where a zero is all you need its a no brainer, but many are using them as home servers and such. Even a basic wireless camera feed can be a struggle for the zero s

We dont really need a Pi killer anymore. They've done a fine job of killing it themselves. Their community has shrunk massively due to low cost mini pc's being leaps and bounds better value than a Pi now. Their two fingers being p

Anecdotally I can say it's improved my productivity. Mainly because it's just a slightly better autocomplete than PHPStorm/Jetbrains IDE provides. Although they are now pushing their own AI tools for an extra fee pretty heavi

Speaking from personal experience, dev jobs that use recruiters are often some of the worst places I've worked vs the ones that hire direct.

It also didn't help that a wildly inaccurate blog post was spread around (PHP: A fractal of bad design) and people took it as gospel, and still do to this day even though its a totally different language these days. PHP pays the bills

The easiest way to silence someone who's die-hard over the top in love with Javascript is ask them to compile something they wrote 3 years ago from scratch without a copy of the node_modules directory from its original compilation. The

For additional context, it's using Laravel, Livewire, Alpine and Tailwind (the 'TALL' stack) - pretty common and a nice stable base.

Not just PHP, Laravel. Should make for decent long term stability!

Tried it, was very unimpressed, it feels very much like a tech demo even as recent as this year. Certainly wouldn't waste my money on it.

I'm not sure I'd call those smart. They're basic little camera specs. We both know thats not what we mean when we discuss usable AR.

I'm not entirely convinced Apple even wants it to succeed. It's a stepping stone to augmented reality and a true 'forget you are wearing it' type of glasses product that can just naturally complement your surroundings.

People always try to make this argument but it can't really be denied that it's a slightly different situation having a handheld utility you can pull out vs being 'strapped in' and disconnected from the world for hours a

What data are they collecting about you, and who is it being sold to? With Facebook its an easy answer - hobbies, intererests and habbits to use for targeted advertising. That logic doesn't quite work for Apple given they arent showing

In terms of personal costs I was thinking more car/petrol/public transport costs to get to work, the personal time (which could be counted as a cost) it takes to get to and from work, having to get up earlier etc)

If someone choses to do it (and is not required) then why is it an issue? I do 6:30am - 3pm and have done for years, it fits my day well. Others I work with might not start till 10am. Thats the great thing about working from home, you get m

Not the OP but some of their points are genuine things. Quite surprised they didnt mention the obvious - the added personal costs and time. Everything thats mentioned as a counter point is a compromise to working from home, almost like a &q

That's got to be the worst excuse/reason given for forcing crummy openplan offices I've ever heard. Kudos on coming up with something so creative and ridiculous.

Yup price != quality at all. I too have a hoodie which is probably going on 15 years old now. It's finally started getting faded and looking a bit old but still very much usable, think it came from Walmart when I was visiting the US. I

Personally I fall into the camp of Tailwind is great (if you use it in a sensible way). TailwindUI and to more of an extend, Catalyst is awful. The fact they have the nerve to call it 'easy', 'usable', etc is laughable.

It stalled the second people realised the actual costs are significantly north of using your own ifrastructure, and is often burried in a line like "oh by the way you'll need a NAS Gateway and it'll cost you an aditional $50k
