Apple were interested in making sleeker machines not faster machines. They went so overboard that yes while the CPUs, SSDs and RAM are all faster the overall machines don’t feel faster in general use and yes do feel buggy. Apple had to admi

It’s frustrating for sure but seemingly not affecting profits so not a problem as far as the business is concerned.

This looks excellent, will take a bit of time to go through and understand. The announcement blog is really helpful actually and explains the problem you're solving well (and one I am intimately familiar with so I see value here). Con

Wow so many points to address. First up, you wrote quite a bit but never expressed something super important - do you enjoy developing, do you feel happy doing it? Or is it just a job and a means to put food on the table? Secondly, technolo

Mistake maybe but I disagree on the ‘biggest’ part. For me type erasure is a bigger issue. I get that it was done for backwards compatibility but the drawbacks imposed by that decision seem to only grow as more time passes and more new comp

Well... everyone’s reasoning is different but I love knowing a slightly difference version of some obscure dependency isn’t going to break or change the behaviour of the various apps or scripts I have to run.

I must admit I saw this when it was first announced and I didn’t get why it was better but seeing it again and having more time on my hands I intend to experiment a bit further. Congratulations to the author for their success - it is clear

VM images typically require more storage, ram and cpu than a container. I know I can run dozens of docker containers but prob nowhere near the same number of VMs

Desktop and laptop vendors were heavily invested with Intel before now. Apple was heavily invested with Intel before now. Don’t underestimate what cloud vendors will do in pursuit of cost or efficiency - they are ruthless at both.

So Intel... Lost their lead in consumer desktop CPUs and said ‘oh we have mobile and server’ But now AMD prove that Intel’s lead in mobile has been squandered. And then the largest buyers of server grade stuff are cloud vendors who are wait

I sympathise with the sentiment of this post and admit things can and should be better. But there are a few points to be made: > the situation hasn’t changed and if it worked last time it should still work this time The situation has cha

Decent tool, simple and easy! Glad that XML is still getting attention these days. While JSON is excellent for almost everything, there are still areas where XML excels.

Really, the US system of manually extracting data from peoples physical devices seems so much more old-fashioned compared to the Great Firewall of China. There really isn't much difference conceptually between the two systems.

'Data' is quite broad. If you need results in a tabular format I agree with you - without doubt SQL is the API. But for nested data (XML, JSON, etc.) it really isn't the best language for that. I am talking here specifically
