Maybe it will be another software update, or something 'software new' for the iPhone 7S or 8 like they did with live photos & the 6S.

Well if I can buy good $2 Lightning cables from daiso, I bet someone will do it in a few months/years.

Well at least for screen renders you can make sure render threads stay on the big cores and with GCD you can use thread priorities to determine what to put on which core. iOS has concepts of active/inactive and is mostly a one-app-at-

Or the 4 engines that most games are made in will just add a metal layer. Or you use something like https://moltengl.com/ to make a direct opengl -> metal wrapper. And sales is what will drive ports.

I had an android phone a year ago. Battery life management is pretty horrible. It's really hard to figure out which apps are draining your battery a lot in the background. For example, I rooted my phone to find out if any wake locks

I've found the backbeat headphones to be pretty great for running and everything else, and they are $70 on average. They are still open ear too.

So why did steam win compared to other online game stores? And why do they continue to do well with their game offerings?

A lot of the adoption curve comes from the economics too. The same thing 10 times cheaper is a revolution itself. We had 3D printers in the 80s, but 3D printers starting becoming a lot cheaper only in the past ~5 years. 1870 PV cells were

Many old people downsize to a condo because: 1. The kids are out and the house is too big for them. 2. They are usually one floor units and have an elevator. 3. They don't have to maintain nearly as many things. And a place with a metr

It's nothing specific to PH. You have things like entire families living on the streets, more crime, poverty, corruption & ignorance. Growing up in the typical SEA public school isn't good from an education and safety standp

Free food is the real perk that changes hours. Everything else isn't used that much or is very very company/team dependent and you have to evaluate them on a company basis. 10 companies might give laundry, video games, board&#x2F

I've worked at a bunch of places with video games in SV. Most of the time it's barely touched. Meals is what really determines how long people stayed. Sometimes 3 people would play video games. Sometimes a team creates a lunch

There is a younger streak in small VC startups, and an older streak in the larger AppFaceGooSoft streak of companies as people tend to realize that the EV tends to be better for the typical employee at the larger ones.

As long as the non-dom resident income tax rule is real, that is enough to attract the non-british super rich to the UK in droves. And we know the lack of property tax rule is real.

There are a whole bunch of .54/mile commute carpool apps out there. Uber & Lyft have them / have had them too. Usually they don't pan out because it's not enough money for the hassle.

Your math is off. And you can do commute time subsitutes by living in the cheaper areas. You can save that down payment in 5 years probably. With higher incomes come higher saving margins.

London also has another problem, non-domiciled residents who only have to pay a flat fee income tax on global income and a non-existent property tax scheme. The combo leads to an explosion of real estate as bank account and very wealthy pe

You can have a mixed commute. Bike last mile to the train station / bus, then bike/walk the last mile to work or similar. I would think the bus / train is safer than a car or a bike.

In a client world, you definitely care about using all of your resources and never halting the rendering/main thread. There is often many things going on at once and you usually need to keep main thread halts under 16ms
