The problem is automation and technology is getting so good that we don't need that many people working anymore. Autonomous vehicles have a very good shot of displacing a lot of jobs in a few decades. You can't also tell people in

That's not the same. It just means the yes/no vote is just proportional to those that voted. 50 people voting yes and 50 people voting no would be split evenly at 50% for both opinions. But if you have 50 people voicing idk, you h

No, my point is Apple is pushing consumer's uses such as typing emoji above the developer's needs, such as pressing ESC. Yes, you certainly still can "press" ESC, but I suspect I won't be used to the touching a scr

I would say the same of insiders. Outsiders can judge this better than insiders due to independence (tunnel vision and company pride sometimes get in the way).

Apple processors and improvements in industrial engineering happened before Cook took the helm. You could argue those were under Jobs's watch... And yes the increase of revenue in services is safe, stable bet. But offering music and em

I read that there is an independent ARM processor controlling TouchBar. Is there solid proof the TouchBar reverts to Func keys when no OS has initialized/rendered keys to the TouchBar?
189.
by jasonjei 10y ago
I'm just wondering how one will install certain OSes if the Func keys aren't usable during OS install in Boot Camp. I don't remember being able to remap an installer hotkeys easily. Maybe Apple doesn't want that demograp

Microsoft, I'm sure, also threw a lot of R&D money at things. I just think the money under Jobs's Apple was directed more wisely.

TouchBar killed the tactile ESC key. People using vim or BootCamp and/or Linux, Windows, VMware, or Photoshop are in for a more difficult ride. So instead of having access to ESC/Func keys, we can type emoji or use Apple Pay. The

I see a lot of parallels of Tim Cook's Apple to John Sculley's Apple. Tim Cook's, like John Sculley's, is focused on immediate short-term bottom line improvements rather than long-term investments. John Sculley kept stay

When the OS hasn't initialized Touch Bar, what happens to the Touch Bar? Is there a default Touch Bar loaded in firmware in cases of Linux or Windows in Boot Camp?
194.
by jasonjei 10y ago
In typical Apple fashion, there's a dongle for that. Sarcasm aside, I wonder how well this will work if you use Boot Camp. Does the TouchBar revert to a normal function bar when OS isn't in control of it? Let's say I don&#x27

So I have the unenviable position of having to support a C++ application with Visual Studio as the build tool. I use a Mac and VMware. Does that mean working within Visual Studio is going to be a lot harder given the Func keys are gone?

Just curious about the root certificate distrust--are users capable of re-adding trust to distrusted certificates? Or is this hard coded into the browser? I'm assuming Mozilla stores certificates outside OS stores like Keychain and Win

I'm confused and I'm not a lawyer. Isn't this interstate commerce and therefore the purview of federal authorities? Why is CA leading a felony investigation for a supposed crime that happened over the Internet?

I live in SF (from Phoenix, AZ), but I agree, I don't think a particular locality really matters. The Internet has made remote development possible for most startups. In fact, if Kernel.org (Linux) was considered a startup, it's a

I agree with you, but I still think there are some special cases for software. If I understand correctly, privacy implications in EU states may be stricter than that of the US. I can only imagine this makes coding harder for user data (if u

With respect to your point about different legislations, some states in the US have extra regulations and consumer rights. That's why you often see state-specific fine print in purchases. In the case of California, environmental regula
