Sad to see optional typing go. I thought that's the best of both worlds -- you can write type annotations for documentation or checking, but you also have the benefit of dynamic typing when static typing comes in the way.

I'd like the Surface to appeal better to people considering an iPad (Pro). This means it should match important specs: it should be no heavier, thicker or costlier than the iPad, have a HDR screen, have as good speakers, etc. Some diff

Is there any evidence in favor of the argument that breaking C compatibility will increase execution speed without shifting the optimisation burden to programmers or compilers? For example, have research CPUs been built that optimise for Er

It'll be an interesting exercise to ask the Clang folks to relax backward compatibility, this designing a new language, if it makes their compiler go faster. That could be deployed as a new language, or adding features to existing ones

Or, conversely, could the iPhone 11 have 20 cores that are optimised not for latency but for power-efficient execution, such as how much you can do before the device runs out of battery? These would still be ARM, and backward-compatible wit

For someone who doesn't develop for the MS stack but is still curious, what are these ways to avoid allocations and GC in performance-critical paths?

What are some languages that have a better memory model and work faster with a JIT rather than an AOT compiler? For that matter, does Java code execute faster or slower with an AOT compiler than with HotSpot? I did a quick Google search but

I'm happy that Chromebooks are finally powerful enough to meet my needs, but I'm concerned about running three different types of apps — web, Android and Linux. Each of these are built for different platforms, with different expec

Good question. It's the longest flights that are the most irritating, so the willing to pay may be higher. The example given on the Boom site of Los Angeles -> Sydney becoming 7 hours instead of 15 is compelling.

That's a valid concern, but one caused by selling too many editions of the same product ( https://medium.com/@karti/office-365-was-too-hard-to-buy-so-... ) with artifical differentation, not completely different p

Shouldn't they have launched it as an alternative to Windows, for those users who want the benefits (reliability, security, whatever) rather than abandoning it? Make it free ($0) and open-source to encourage adoption. And why couldn&#x

Which is why this meme is a half-truth. Other examples include old-world companies like magazines and banks selling our data despite us paying for the service. Even in areas other than privacy, my bank mistreats me far worse than Internet c

Yes, I'd like a 4-8MP sensor with great dynamic range and low noise. Since resolutions have gone beyond the point where most users notice, why aren't camera companies trading it off for other benefits?

That was just an example. Instead of picking nits, focus on the real point being made, namely that if you miss some insight or perspective that later causes you to make bad decisions later on, you won't know that if you'd up more,

Most news media seems optimised for power users, people who want to read 100 stories a day and have all the context to place them correctly. These are the power users, but, by definition, there are a few. This is the equivalent of everyone
