Quote form their slide: "Optimizing 11th gen power and performance in the best enthusiast platform for gaming & content creation" Why should I be an enthusiast? Indeed I wait for a much faster laptop to replace my venerable De

In the meantime I have like 6 messaging clients, 5 car park apps and 7 covid-restaurant-tracking apps on my phone. Remembering which contact is in which app is a pain. Now explain that to your non-tech friends.

Apple opening up iMessage, running it cross platform and maybe through some independent company would put an end on this discussion. There won't be money in it for them. But it would even further improve their privacy-first market(ing)

Full ack. But then try connecting with your non-tech friends using XMPP or IRC. Won't do.

Love this just for the Sandwich videos alone! No I gave it 15 minutes and it's amazing. Congratulations!

Personal take after quite a few years of experience: ORMs are great for quick and easy prototyping. But in no way I would ever use another ORM in any application again. Simple helpers like Dapper (C#/.NET) are fine. But nothing more th

Have a look at FMDB: https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb/ I don't know or use it personally. But the developer behind it is very experienced and sells the nice, tried and true image editor Acorn here. https:&#

According to the interview with Eich linked above: "Bill Joy at Sun was the champion of it, which was very helpful because that’s how we got the name." Sure helps :-)

Windows dev here. Not to disagree with you, but I also have to buy an Authenticode certificate just to sign my assemblies so that Windows doesn't show a scary popup when the user starts my application. Ah, and I also have to buy anothe

It's a 'responsive design' error, when opened on desktop you can see a good screenshot in the upper right corner of the page.

Note that performance could be an issue with the Air, as it will throttle the CPU to prevent too much head. The MBP has much more thermal leg room. That said, the Air indeed is a great machine and I too prefer the function keys to Touch ID.

I think I had a burnout at home. It was just too much: 90% to 100% job, 3 kids, house, and the constant feel of (self?) pressure to make it all better, always be prepared and such at home. My wife and me separated almost a year ago, an

I'm in the same boat and keep using Reeder on Mac, iPhone and iPad for now. But I'm sorely missing a Windows client.

iPhone 4 owner here. That was never an actual issue in daily use. You really had to force it at exactly the right spot to produce this problem. Also other phones from that time had the same issue when they were squeezed like that. So yes

I discovered this word yesterday and thought it is so beautiful that I had to share it.

Nice for them! We launched a web application for construction companies in Switzerland a few months ago. And quickly learned the hard way that we have to improve the IE compatibility. The last 90 days IE11 was used for 36% of all traffic. T

Wow I never heard about this one, even though I was searching such tools. Sure enough, I open DDG, type in "Notion" and can't find anything. "Notion g!" pointed me here though: https://www.notion.so

As corv just wrote, the decline in tourism is a result of the Arab Sprint and the instability, let alone wars, it produced. Not the other way around. The linked article from 2011 is great reading in hindsight. > This might be the last an

Could you elaborate the link of the Arab Spring to the 2008 financial crisis? I can't think of a link and neither does the English Wikipedia article.

To my (amateur) understanding, that's what they did in Switzerland and it turned out pretty well for the national bank. Personally I also made some smallish stock investments during that time. I only regret that I didn't invest ju

I agree except one thing: SELECT cols FROM table. This should really be FROM table SELECT cols as every modern SQL editor will then be able to show you a list of available columns. See LINQ. There they had the opportunity to fix it and it
