   I'm a long-time osx user. Recently I bought a used Surface Book for testing out some of the touch and stylus functionality. Also I liked the idea of having a high-quality stylus functionality for Adobe applications. This set me on my o

   From someone who has experienced the dev flow on apps with very large, gnarly webpack configs 17 seconds is extremely impressive and sounds like heaven! What a lot of devs may not be aware of, if their projects aren't of a certain scal

    Why has Hacker News become such a hotbed for cynicism, ridicule and snark by which almost none comes constructive ideas? I along with many of my fellow engineers use Atom everyday and love it. Sure it has some shortcomings but if anything t

    My guess is that their line of thinking is something like: - 4 x thunderbolt 3 gives plenty of expansion options for things like external high-speed storage, external gpu, 4k+ monitors, etc. - what can't be upgraded via thunderbolt 3 (

    I seem to never find areas with which this quote doesn't apply: "We shape our tools, thereafter they shape us." In short I think web developers build with the tools they know are capable of delivering a spec but this does not

    Apple wants to keep positioning iOS on iPad as the de-facto post-pc "get work done" platform and to do so the UI needs to feel less constrained, more capable and appeal slightly more to "post-pc power users". Choosing to

    This is a very "un-Apple" approach, I'd be surprised to see a configuration like that. Instead I'd only see the potential for Apple to switch the macbook line to a specially designed ARM chip. They wouldn't say it&#
