Have you forgotten about apple credit card/apple pay? apple has already gotten into payments but they own the whole hardware platform, they don't need to shoehorn a tab into iMessage like WeChat has to

He got picked up in a country that the US can extradite from and they would actually have to look at the case now. This thing has been so transparent. Stay safe Snowden and all you other possible whistleblowers/leakers out there! To pe

Apple is the primary driver of swift. There is literally no adoption of the language outside Apple for business purposes. Saying it's "just a programming language" is meaningless. It's reached version 5.0 and still doesn

The spec should require clear labelling of SOME kind to differentiate between the different types of wires. I feel like that's been a common issue with the USB spec and one they refuse to address

i used to think usb c was awesome and would lead to a 1 wire for everything world. Now i have 4 different kinds of usb c wire i need depending on usecase - passive usb c for charging my headphones since they didn't implement a resistor

Apple isn't in the business of giving user's choice. I think their argument always has been against the inertia of familiarity and in the case of the butterfly switches and touchbar it's bitten them in the ass but they can&#x

Are these industry pros just not talking about it? coz every review by any kind of pro i see on youtube talks about how worthless teh touch bar is as a con against a macbook

by kkarakk 7y ago
I laughed when they showed the music professional using the touchbar to scrub through audio/video. like any pro is using anything less than a whole another macro keyboard to handle that issue

by kkarakk 7y ago
Maybe not true for 2019 version but previous versions have had a serious issue with the touchbar just hanging/becoming unresponsive - requiring a reboot to fix the issue.

It's not ideal right now but cloud dev is clearly the way it's going. I'd say buying el cheapo chromebook + cloud dev environment would work out to be cheaper even if the cloud provider somehow screwed up and took off(not bee

Cross platform is never going to be a target for current gen Apple execs. It would require a seismic level shift in their tech focus They don't have a real presence in traditional servers, they don't have any real presence in clou

Using safari on macos feels like using edge on windows. you know there are supposed to be some advantages to doing so but the whole thing feels clunky and outdated comparatively

Odyssey isn't even responsive on a local gaming pc, your character moves like it's behind 50ms of latency in any case

by kkarakk 7y ago
That's interesting, do you think you would buy a Camry that was as responsive as the BMW - if it were available- and replace your BMW with it? I think most of car ownership is Signalling personally

Good way to destroy your laptop by pulling it to the ground when you pull away from your device rapidly. I've done it enough with wired headphones to know you never really acclimatize to having something hanging from your body

People will NEVER support a government that asks them to move. That's the whole reason these towns exist. Look at China - they literally forcibly relocate people at economic gunpoint(their jobs will be moved and their homes will no lon

I really do think automation and the logical efficiences of getting a robot to transport produce from 200 miles away vs 20000 miles away will fix this problem. Farms will come back, they will just be run by corporations instead.

Exactly, those towns were going to die anyways and the Walmarts came in coz they got tax subsidies - which they got because they would keep the towns alive a little longer. If there's nothing in an area to give you income besides a sin

by kkarakk 7y ago
How do these towns even exist if there are no jobs? One guy talks about a collection of 100+ guns(from my understanding guns are worth quite a chunk of money if well maintained) This story makes no sense to me, just sounds like a town where

Yeah amazon basically froze cloud9 development last time i checked, i don't care enough to shift to whatever amazon has done to the thing...

eh, we're already seeing that with all the "free" online IDEs that have proliferated. i've switched all my python code kata-ing to microsoft azure jupyter notebooks for eg, used to use cloud9 before they got bought out

Filtering out bad data is a part of the job when analyzing the data for information...There are tons of ways people try to mess with these to the point where in a way it's trivial to filter it out-since basically you're trying to

Bill gates retired 19 years ago(2000s) and his name is still synonymous with windows due to choices he made. People still ask Wozniak about his opinions on devices(iphones etc) that he had absolutely no input on and they do tinge people&#x2

It all works juuuuust until it doesn't and you have to upgrade to the next tier. I assume the experience will be like the one i had with netflix, where once i had a 4k tv i realized i HAD to upgrade my account and internet bandwidth co

It's for games, apple tv supports a lot of games that are modified for the large form factor and can get quite large(like crossy road)

Culture is what gives value to a web forum. If it's just an exchange of ideas it gets bogged down with astroturfing

by kkarakk 7y ago
Then you have to wade through miles of posts calling out "blatant astroturfing"(people paid to write positive forum posts) on the site. Finding open and honest discussion is really hard
