I hear this argument a lot from people who don't consider themselves quick thinkers and honestly it sounds a bit like cope. Many such people might be confusing perseverance for skill in analysis. Not saying that's you, OP. But man

Unless I missed it, the author doesn't seem to provide an argument as to why the function is exponential. It just seems to be a rant about how much state there is. Sure, there is a lot of state, but much of it is "gated" and

Not as unlikely as one might think. The random inputs, after unlocking the watch with a passcode, might hit the messages app if that is set up as a complication. Then something similar to we are in control is written (drawn letter by letter

Relying on China as a trade partner, who has been hostile to the US in every way except kinetic, is a hidden cost of those "cheap" panels. Is China's an economy whose growth you want to willingly contribute to? That is sort o

I think it's a bit unfair to call it revisionist. It's a direct claim by the author of ssh, and out of all the ports numbered 1-255, telnet (23) does come closest in function to ssh. I believe the article is more about how lucky t

Piracy doesn't show me ads, buffer in 720p, remove episodes based on political winds, and then raise the price of service on a whim. I don't pirate movies or shows but at this point I feel pretty stupid for not doing so.

You can do all that minus the offline Xcode project part, which you need to sign in to download I believe.

While it will be nice to ship hobbyist apps through a third party channel, it will only be a matter of time until app users are bullied into installing third party stores. For the normal user it's less of a "choice" than it i

In my limited experience the TCO for Apple computer products seems lower than equivalent PC products. A MacBook I can reasonably expect to stay in the same condition until like 7-10 years later. With a regular windows laptop the screen woul

I find it difficult to sympathize with stick figure artists. At least penny arcade has a distinct style. But with the stick figure artists I just feel a sense of disgust and don't really care if their "art" gets consumed by d

I have always had a respect for these machines. Interestingly enough, Brother (the printer company) started out as a sewing machine company, and somehow it makes sense to me.

That particularly sucks because as a bike rider who sometimes likes to roleplay as a delivery rider, the one thing I cannot pick up is pizza. I would need a purpose built pizza backpack in order to reasonably deliver myself pizza, as I live

Is it worth the long term increase in cost if Apple pays Masimo? It's not a one off where you just pay up to continue operations. Pay one and many more will line up. I am sure Apple's analysts already have a number for how much pr

Your second paragraph is how patents already work, and you can't patent an idea, only specific inventions. Sometimes patents for ideas slip through the cracks and sometimes patents get extended without a good reason, but these are not

The issue for me is that I don't want to run another web service just to take personal notes. I'll likely keep using Obsidian until I can find something else that is self-managed and "flat".

I have nothing against open standards but I see this more like an attack on private property. Why should Apple be disallowed from creating a walled garden? It's suddenly not valid to control which devices can participate in your netwo

I don't know if this is the common perception and I'm definitely a bit biased, but it seems like a bad sign for Intel. Without a paradigm shift I don't foresee anything improving for them. Their sales team must be insane thou

The author sounds out of touch. It has always been chaos, and whether something was viral has always been a curated reality. Throwing "AI" into an old narrative does not make it new and interesting. The internet has always been a

To me, it's not so much offices with doors, but rather some sort of barrier between work and distraction. I don't want to hear about TikToks or food if I'm actually trying to work. An open office layout would work if everyone

This is a problem with the Ship of Theseus thought experiment as well. When did the Ship of Theseus become a "ship"? With that being nebulous it becomes even stranger to discuss whether switching out parts compromises its personal

Not all that surprising if you've worked with powerful people. For most of them, technical suggestions don't matter much and are ultimately weighed on a rubric of "whether someone else (who is also important) is doing the sam

This looks mid compared to Apple and AMD. I don't know who is supposed to be impressed. Gamers should all be switching to AMD soon, it's a bit embarrassing to even be running Intel this year. Maybe Intel should focus on server, wh

How is it like a coupon issued by the store and not like purchased gift cards that later go unused? Do you think $600 million were generated by the state?
