Those high brackets really only apply to people that are making a lot of money. I make $100k right now and my state tax in California would be nearly the same as it is in Ohio at that rate. That being said, with my work being remote indef

Is Microsoft really winning anything when they have to give this crap away for free with Office because no sane person would ever pay for it?

Part of me is against walled gardens philosophically but in practice it seems like regardless of whether its a monopoly in practice it actually serves to protect consumers from their own stupidity. Just like you have to force your employees

For now, and still in a very limited capacity. But I absolutely think a desktop mode powered by an iPhone is coming. It's almost certainly being tested at Apple, and the move to Apple Silicon only makes it more likely that this will ha

I did this at one point as well but now I prefer not to have root access for security reasons. I'd rather have the ability to remote into a user with limited privileges on a more secure server, given how big of a target mobile devices

I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t just document this. Is the team responsible for it just pro-UIKit and doesn’t actually want people to use SwiftUI or something? Because the lack of documentation for so long really does give me the impre

I'm expecting 16" MBP and iMac to support more along with an M1X chip or something along those lines.

Isn't this basically saying that you can't have the compiler guaranteeing you aren't including bugs in those optimizations / global variable usage because it's more efficient to just write and then ultimately ship s

They have more expensive high end options but they've also expanded lower priced devices as well. Even ignoring the SE the new iPhone 12 Mini is a flagship device at a $699 price point thats very difficult for Android manufacturers to

This is basically the most optimistic outlook to have, but I think there's a real case to be made for this: With ARM Macs we could also potentially see 5G connected laptops which could be purchased 0 down through a cell carrier + the p

There are issues that you get with GraphQL that are generally much easier to solve with REST, though. While it's easy to set up a GraphQL API that technically makes your whole graph available, going off of your default resolver functio

how is that any easier than dropping a fat jar or a binary on a server? its not like building those is difficult

I don't really see how PHP catching up to improvements that were made in other ecosystems suddenly makes it a better choice than it's competitor though. What is it actually better at? And as a developer, why should I bother with

This is clearly listed on their site and the vast majority of customers buy through major carriers anyways.

This is probably better from a quality perspective and also probably not worth the time it would take in 90% of projects. That being said I'm amazed how much production software depends on multiple libraries that are developed and main

Usually when a new series of GPUs is first released the driver support on Linux is pretty bad and even if it works its unstable.

I've never worked somewhere that uses Linux dev machines. Almost always Mac these days, but otherwise it's been Windows. At least a good option exists for *nix tools on Windows now. And WSL2 is good enough for personal development

Capitalists only pretending to care about an issue to improve their image while continuing to only optimize purely for profit instead of taking additional risk to do the right thing? Shocking. /s

Even if you assume the benefits here are all true and not overly optimistic, there is a significant downside. Software that is "better" by means of more complexity via AI will be significantly harder for a human to understand. Eve

I would say its suitable, but I wouldn't say it's a good general purpose language for a variety of reasons. The first being that "good" is totally subjective. It feels like it has lagged behind its competitors both in te

At the very least I expect to see it used in "IoT" devices like Nest thermostats and stuff like that. Whether it ever replaces ChromeOS or Android is impossible to determine at this point though. Almost every attempt at running An

Really the new MacBook Air is essentially a slightly larger continuation of that design that also has a fan, specifically because the processors in the 12" Macbook weren't that great. I could definitely see a future ARM based Air

I really wish it wasn't doing more work under the hood. I can't really think of any features that were added to macOS in the last several years that were worth the bloat and instability that came with them. I guess I feel the sa

I feel like it peaked in Snow Leopard to be honest. I can't think of a single time it ever crashed on me. Even with a 5400 RPM spinny disk it felt fast as hell.
