Apple gear costs more in Europe because the market will bear it. It has almost nothing to do with regulations, which almost always benefits consumers at little cost. If prices are high it's usually due to a lack of competition. Here&#x

So even showing the infohash would be illegal? That's all you really need.

THey could just use the numbers as a suffix to a sanitized version of the name and everybody wins, but that would require them to think seriously about usability.

If you change the subject or redirect when someone asks you a difficult question you're not lying. That sort of thing could be called social engineering.

One of the advantages of lying down is that you can take a lot more positions (especially your lower body) compared to sitting.

Of course if your intent is to be inactive then all bets are off. Even if you're not I don't think those little nudges are that effective. Personally I've been working lying down for 20 years, almost all day, almost every day

Also there is some research showing that people are more creative when lying down.

I have a lie down workstation: it's called a bed with wooden stand for my screen and a wireless keyboard. It works a treat.

I get that, but the solution is not "enforce it with static type checking", especially when the default is non-nullable. In my experience nullability is a dynamic constraint and it's most often just passed through various fun

I don't understand the ritual flagellation of nulls that seems to be in vogue recently. The null value is a necessary and critically important value: sometimes you have to represent 'nothing.' It's not particularly speci

I think the world is moving away from twin-aisle planes somewhat. The future is point-to-point in smaller planes. In that sense Airbus is well positioned. The A321XLR is already a huge success.

by hehetrthrthrjn 6y ago
Probably because they have none of these planes and no plans to add them.
46.
by hehetrthrthrjn 6y ago
It's not an irrational fear at all. The plane by any measure is a serious kludge, even after these patches have been applied. Think about the fact that you're flying what is essentially a management designed plane. No reasonable e

Yes it's required.

by hehetrthrthrjn 6y ago
It's usually stated when you browse flights, but obviously planes can be substituted before you fly. You can take your chances. The best plan would be to avoid airlines that own the plane, but that will be impractical for most. Even th

I only really use macOS these days, so they've clearly improved or borrowed features since I last looked, but I guess the point is that those features were implemented long ago. The ability to implement file access the way is obviously

The main reason for me is that Apple hardware is (from my experience) unacceptably unreliable and their warranty service is infuriating. Add to that a lack of expandability, customizability, (user) repairability and (hardware) compatibility

Generally good design and user-centered design (but that's being eroded with every new release) along with attention to detail. Small examples: you can scroll a window without having to click on it to make it active, applications don&#

x86, as a legacy architecture, has a lot of baggage and complexity and takes more space and energy to decode and translate instructions to micro-ops. Also because it was not designed as a RISC arch, but rather "backported" as one,

The pharmacist is supposed to make sure that the patient isn't being harmed by the medication. That's the theory. In reality it's just as you say.

The two are connected. The more niche (or custom) software is the more resistant it is to porting. There's going to be a lot of Wintel based stuff which is a quick and dirty port from Windows with few Mac native elements. The years whe

There's two parts to this issue: one is reverse engineering the Apple driver interface, the other is reverse engineering the third party target hardware interface. Most vendors of graphics hardware keep their interface secret, but not

by hehetrthrthrjn 6y ago
Yes there is: the lack of third party graphics drivers. That single issue has the potential to nobble any useable ARM based Hackintosh, though someone might step forward and implement a graphics driver, but that's quite hard.

Keep in mind that there is a much larger installed base of Intel machines than any of those other transitions. Apple is unlikely to want to alienate so many people. It will take several years for the percentage of Intel Mac users to fall un

I was being a bit flippant but the fact is that you're always relying on the decision of the front line employee. Of course there are guidelines and decisions sometimes travel up the management chain, but the attitude of the first offi
