I don't think the HomePod will be very successful in our little tech bubble (although the large amount of disposable income helps) but I do think it will find a decent level of consumer success. Apple Music is now more popular in the U

Which of it's big cities aren't corrupt, though? This isn't just a localized problem, these people often end up in federal positions. Plus, there's a huge percentage of the population that lives in large cities. It&#x2

You're mostly right, although the killing is typically overblown and taken out of context in many circumstances. But when it does happen, you're right that it's damn near impossible to get a conviction of a police officer. An

How high up did this sort of thing go, though? It seems like in more corrupt places, this sort of thing basically goes all the way to the top and the entire department is engaged in this kind of activity. Whereas here we have small groups o

Is it really that good though, or is it just that a lot of design effort (and dollars) have been put into it? Just based on the quality of electron based applications I have used, I feel like this basically amounts to spending a lot of time

Personally I don't think it's ugly. I think having a solid bezel across the top but not the bottom would actually look worse. And it actually makes the new gestures more intuitive: swiping down from the left of the notch does the

I generally agree that they didn't "bet big" on iPhone X, but I really hate equating it with the S8 because that was a terrible device in my opinion. First off, just from being in my empty pocket for 2-3 days, the screen was

Bonus points for sending the user to a legitimate link explaining what Meltdown is.

Technically transpiling is just a more specific kind of compiling, so you’re not wrong in saying compiling.

I’ve seen approaches that basically use a Node server + queues for this. I think this is how Laravel does websockets.

At first I thought this said "SNES Foundation" and I was very confused.

Cmd+Q is awful IMO. It's too easy to hit accidentally trying to do Cmd+Tab.

Wait, only 1.5GB? What kind of optimizations did you have to make to get it down that low? Mine is typically at 3-4GB...

You can't run tensorflow on it because it has an AMD GPU.

+1 for The Selfish Gene, one of the best books I've read. If you have any interest in the process of evolution/natural selection, I highly recommend it. It's not as "political" or explicitly atheistic as some of Daw

On the one hand I'm excited, but I ultimately hope this fails (commercially, anyways) because I don't think the world needs more devices loaded up with Google's spyware.

I was referring more to the overall ecosystem than the core platform, which is solid. Stack Overflow uses Dapper rather than Entity Framework, and that alone makes transitioning much easier. EF on .NET Core still just isn’t as good, and the

Personally I've had the exact opposite experience with Spring Boot. To me it feels like they've basically had to metaprogram their way out of the limitations of both the language and the underlying APIs which are extremely verbose

PHP can be nice to look at. Laravel is a pretty good example of that: https://laravel.com/

.NET Core is still pretty immature though. The quantity of third party libraries that support it is tiny in comparison to what you get with Java.

> Java > Object oriented code done right Pick one. But in all seriousness, Java is definitely underrated amongst many who are working with the trendier technologies. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done, and it's a sol

Personally I consider Path of Exile to be the best successor to Diablo I/II. If you were a fan of Diablo and haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

Yep. And this is important, it allows people to move most JS projects incrementally to TS projects. If they fall far behind the features that many JS projects are using, that won't be true anymore, and those people will start using Flo

It definitely wasn't underpowered for the Switch. And they managed to get Skyrim and Doom running on that. I'd imagine they could do even better performance wise in a traditional console rather than kind of a portable hybrid.

It would definitely be illegal, and the current administration would almost certainly be hostile to that. We could potentially arrive at a situation where the courts would be willing to look the other way in certain cases though. Or Congres

Even if they’re focused on power saving, the devices their chips end up are still less efficient than an iPhone AND they have lower performance. This might mostly be a software issue, but it still speaks to how far ahead Apple is by most me

That would be awesome, but it’s difficult to see how that would fit in with Nintendo’s vision, which seems to be merging console and mobile gaming. How do you do that without competing directly with iPhone/iPad?

It takes quite awhile for the battery to degrade to the point it can’t run the CPU at max capacity anymore. And it still could , but it would be potentially unstable.
