Well, expect some EU regulations around that. All I was saying was that the reason Apple added these tricks wasn't (only) unrepairability but more anti-theft. I don't want to defend their decision though.

Interesting. The flip side of this is that it's probably a good anti-theft measure. You can't steal an Apple laptop for repair parts anymore. As someone who has repaired MBP's in the past, I'm not a big fan of unrepairab

From my experience of constantly using both, Signal's UX is inferior unfortunately. On both macOS and iOS Signal feels like a second grade cross-platform app with a clunky Android feel (no ribbon effect, no animations, poor aesthetics)

Wouldn't "user replaceable" make it more expensive? Besides I can't even imagine an iPhone that can be easily opened by anyone, stay water resistant and "Apple-y" at the same time...

That, and "Coming soon" shouldn't be remembered either. So why not have a e.g. 205 Temporary Placeholder or something along those lines?

Where you see higher taxes it means you get something for free. Typically it's healthcare and/or education. With comparable living standards the spending per person is roughly the same, the question is who is paying and how. I.e.

There's life outside of the terminal. For example you want to double-click on the part of a URL in your browser.

Agreed, was also disappointed. Apart from a poorly constructed shallow story, the black and white parts were quite off-putting. The whole point of this film was playful van Gogh-esque colors and his signature strokes. Whose idea was it to h

Does an OS upgrade remove this malware though? Maybe it doesn't and it's why so many phones were infected.

It's interesting that GTP4's current answer is different but what you described is almost precisely what Google Bard gives as a response. Clearly the solution (book -> eggs 3x3 -> laptop etc) is coming from the Internet. How

> You need iteration and I believe these kinds of AI have the same issues as us. It's funny how we resort to humanizing the machines when their results are inaccurate. We don't do that with the calculator, because it's ex

I don't want to have a calculator (or say bookkeeping software) that gives correct results most of the time but not always, and then hear from the developers that it will get better with each iteration. I need a calculator that is corr

Even that is not a problem. Tooling and deployment are the most boring parts of any language. What's more interesting and what's more difficult to find shortcuts for is understanding the spirit of the language, knowing its weaknes

I find that in larger GUI apps the best thing to have is a layered architecture where visual and non-visual parts are separated globally, not on a view-by-view basis. One advantage of this is that you can slice off your visual part and have

Same for MVC/MVVM and Co specifically on mobile. These things were created to teach beginners a few important concepts, mainly separation of concerns. MVC/MVVM work well on toy sample projects with 2-3 pages but can ruin a larger

One of the solutions I came up with back in the day, without googling was this: int avg(int a, int b) { if ((a < 0) != (b < 0)) // not the same sign? return (a + b) / 2; else

People rarely come up with a working solution within 30 minutes. Any solution is good as long as it doesn't overflow (there are a few suboptimal ones). But the point of this question is, again, to understand what they know about how th

The question was: what is the range of possible values of the int type in Java? (In the context of finding the middle problem) "256" is a ridiculously bad answer on multiple levels. Believe me, I heard it from more than one Java d

It's not just about seeing the problem but also knowing what you are dealing with. The majority of engineers or whoever call themselves engineers, don't know what an int is. Some Java programmers I interviewed years ago think the

This is an excellent interview question (I used it a lot). Reveals what the candidate knows about how the computers work. 90-95% of engineers don't even see a problem with (a + b) / 2 until you tell them about the overflow, let al
