This problem should be solvable in software. The car can simply refuse to operate in a situation where maintenance is required.

I wonder what % of NYT app users do the daily crossword. I would imagine its a very significant percentage, which likely is why NYT is interested in acquiring and integrating a new word game into their app experience.

Youtube has a Patreon competitor service literally built into the platform, you can "Join" a channel and it behaves exactly like Patreon. They were just very late to the party and most creators promote their Patreon more heavily.

Keep in mind that Youtube premium is effectively a music platform as well, although you can make the same argument about Prime. Ultimately it depends on what content you consume, I spend a lot of hours on youtube and consider the advertisin

My team built an application using a multiple not so well thought out microservices, and it ended up creating a lot of unnecessary maintenance and complexity and has been a long term pain. I wish we had just built within a single service. B

My cyberghost vpn is under 3$/mo and has unlimited usage. It's hard to imagine any pay-as-you-go scheme coming even close from a cost perspective.

iMessage is indeed way too powerful, but RCS is nowhere near as good. Even basic things like fast high quality photo/video sharing, reactions, and apps like in-chat games. I suspect Apple will eventually support RCS as a strong improve

This seems like a pretty poor implementation on Apple's app store's handling of out of date app installation. I believe there is a workaround where you can use an online version of the app store to first trigger an app download to

I don't know that it's surprising or disappointing that Google was exploring PR related to their recent employee activism scandals. It would seem pretty incompetent for them to just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. As you

From what I can tell, a "bad relationship" with employer particularly in competitive tech fields is a direct result of poor performance by the employee, which actually seems reasonable. I don't think it makes sense to introdu

While disappointing, this is not exactly a surprise. California's approach to regulation, in general, is onerous and creates substantial headwind to development or change. This is not a statement about the legitimacy of the underlying

This is a huge problem. I have friends who are teachers and have never taken anything past trig at a high school level, and certainly have no understanding of calculus. I think this results in a fundamental understanding gap, since the main

I've recently converted my personal usage to Safari as Chrome was proving buggy on the new MacBook Pro. I've enjoyed it, performance is essentially identical and Apple pay in the browser is the smoothest payment experience I'

I will say its hard to beat the torrent pipeline. Quality VPNs are dirt cheap, and with a solid connection, you can sequentially download and start watching almost immediately, essentially just like streaming.

Amongst other things this is why enterprises that use Node regularly have internal, private NPM registries with some delay behind public releases.

I completely disagree. Knowledge recollection of school taught concepts is irrelevant to practically every job. Yes, most jobs require you to remember various work-related things, but those are not taught in school, they are taught and rein

The most efficient port in the world is in Yokohama, Japan. Are you are implying that Japan has negligent safety and compensation practices?

This is the clear result of an overbearingly powerful entrenched union allowing absurd inefficiency. Tough to imagine a legal recourse. Ideally you allow local ports to outlaw the unions, but that would be a legal nightmare and be extraordi

Ports are already operated by local government. This is standard practice in basically all countries. The most efficient port in the world, Yokohama, is operated by the local harbor district, in exactly the same manner as Long Beach operate

I don't think they are going to make desktop versions, they'll probably put the pro and max versions in a new iMac body during Q2 2022 and might add config options to mac mini. Might be for supply chain reasons, focusing 100% on m

I doubt they are going to make different chips for prosumer devices. They are going to spread out the M1 pro/max upgrade to the rest of the lineup at some point during the next year, so they can claim "full transition" throug

The notch is an explicit design choice, it's visible and iconic. It differentiates the new models and you can make a reasonable argument that space is always used by the status bar in macos currently, so this is a net improvement witho

It's not. They charged $30 extra for unlocked across the entire 12 model lineup. Not sure about the 11 or earlier.

Fair, I use MagSafe next to my bed so I'm not worried about charging speed really at all. I do have a lightning cable around in the event that faster charging is required, I just genuinely barely use it.

The lightning ecosystem is that a huge percentage of people in the united states expect their phones, and their friends' phones, to charge over lightning. This is a convenience for them. I'm not really defending it, since usb-C wo

I recommend you switch to magsafe. You can buy really cheap magsafe charging stands. At this point I only have a lightning cable for my car, I basically never use one in my day to day life which rather lessens the pain.
