The customer was accepting that risk. Just as the developer was accepting the risk that they'd be expected to provide a refund on a subscription that isn't going to work anymore.

Dial up was an on-demand pricing model, not a subscription. By your own rules that doesnt work. Now, if you had dial up and paid a subscription for access to a free phone number and they cut you off before your subscription ended, then yes

If you bought a 12 month subscription to Netflix and they closed down next week are you honestly saying you wouldn't be asking for a refund? It doesn't matter that its an app for Twitter, you've paid for someone to provide so

I think the 10x programmer in the sense of them being a great developer, with good perception and able to be highly adaptable and fast does exist. The problem is they don't last long. Those kinds of people can do it for a few years, th

What statistics source are you using to determine the 'largest framework' here? Even if we go back to the 2021 Jetbrains developer survey ( https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/php/ ) out of

You must be a joy to work with. I feel sorry for the rest of your team, having to deal with that kind of view on everything.

Apologies, must've been tired and totally misread it.

Well crap, this thread basically describes my sad depressing life to a tee. I'm sure it does to a lot of people here. Anyway, its time for bed. Gotta be at work in 7 hours to carry on doing the same thing I've been doing for 9 yea

Try telling that to management. Even if you put the undisputable facts and statistics of how successful it's been in recent trials (the UK one for example was an overwhelming success) they still come up with excuses. "Clients wont

Fair point, perhaps the solution is the car should feed back more data through to the CarPlay/Android Auto API to allow them to use that extra information?

by esskay 4y ago
Fair enough but you're in the minority there. Average joe just wants directions that will keep them away from traffic jams, and manufacturer maintained head units wont realistically do that without paying a subscription. Even then all

Personally I'd like the head unit to do as absolutely little as possible. Just run CarPlay and Android Auto and let your phone do the heavy lifting. Headunit software in cars is notoriously awful, slow and rarely gets updated. For this

If you actually think that you dont know the language very well. It's baked into Composer, all the major frameworks fully use it as to almost every major opensource project that isn't prevented from doing so by legacy code. And ho

If you honestly think Java is the solution to replace PHP you clearly know very little about the language and its usage.

To be fair it doesn't need to be a massive leap every CPU upgrade. The M1 was already a pretty damn powerful chip.

How has PHP lost its way? It grew up from a poorly thought out hacky scripting language to a major programming language. All the nasty code you could write in PHP 4 or 5 is still possible, but everyone will look at your code and laugh.

If you're inherited a legacy project thats a mess then the chances are it was written by some ass who's not following the languages generally accepted PSR standards. Proper PHP code is extremely easy to dive into and maintain. The

Not sure he 'forgot'. People dont tend to do that kind of thing in PHP as honestly it's totally unnecessary.

No other OS on the hardware would support it as the M1 has physical limitations. You're in luck though, the M2 MBP's look to be releasing tomorrow.

by esskay 4y ago
Well...no it supports two. Mines litterally sitting on my desk right now plugged into 2 screens and has been for ~4 months. A you issue doesnt make it an issue with the product ;)

The 'real world' battery genuinely is at least 2x (most of the time WAY more)...thats not marketing hyperbole, its real-world people doing real-world jobs telling you.

You can charge it pretty quick too. I really wish we had an update to it though to add wireless charging. There were wireless battery packs for the last version (The AA battery one) which worked great.

It's not really Apples job to build a copy of Linux for their hardware. You want it, you build it. There's nothing stopping it running.

If you need more than 1 external display you go with an M1 Pro or M1 Max. They support 2 and 4 screens respectively. Buying an entry level model and expecting it to come with higher end features is a user issue, not a product issue.

by esskay 4y ago
It's only the entry level M1 that is limited to 1 extra display, although even then you can use DisplayLink. The M1 Pro supports two and the M1 Max supports 4. https://plugable.com/blogs/news/how-many-external

Cant say I've had the same experience. Venturas had zero noticable impact on my battery life and I leave it on battery almost all day whilst doing software dev.

Jokes on Apple. They replaced mine 4 times under UK consumer law, each time needing to give me practically a whole new laptop shell.
