but that doesn’t really answer the question of “why remove it?” keeping the audio jack does not prevent the use of wireless headphones. and keeping the audio jack does not really pose a problem.

yes. for example, i sometimes use my phone as a high quality source for outputting audio that i then sample into my op-1 or octatrack. yes, those are niche products though not niche use cases, and i think it’s an example where apple’s usage

this is just a collection of basic facts and definitions with bad language. for example, inner product space is the correct nomenclature. euclidean space refers to an inner product space with the euclidean norm, i.e., the dot product. eucli

that seems like the google way of building product. you test all these micro changes but miss out on the macro changes the site actually needs, which doesn't really work out. no one can argue that amazon has good ux. from product to pr

once again, someone has a strong opinion on something they have never used or don't know much about. in my personal opinion, scratch and blockly have very little to do with visual programming. they are nice little experiments but just

where did they say that? they said it was "too hacky".

is that really true though for one of the world's most recognizable brands with a unique name?

oh man, they definitely should have used that. it fits right into the show in every way. i am laughing just reading a straight account of what happened. silicon valley is really insufferable. i don't understand that place at all and do

just as a note, the beautiful racket book is cool, but i feel the subtitle is a little misleading. you aren't really using racket to build the languages. the book uses #lang br and not #lang racket. it's subtle, but it means you d

the author has rather strong opinions about a lot of stuff, so pretty much everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. that is, it's mostly a matter of opinion. one of the most beautifully typeset mathematics books, namely

i found that book this year as well, and it is indeed very good. it's just fun to pick up and read. hopefully the author writes more books in this style.

it is weird to me that you imply facebook and google have morals in your comparison to the amoral wall street. what is stranger to me is that i agree, but only because i believe facebook and google to have distorted or warped moralities. i

the ps4 version, which is a blu-ray, only has one disc.

that's a dismissive comment. i didn't mean it's safe now, and that situation isn't really avoided by anything other than constantly checking your mirrors, which isn't practical and maybe won't even work against

red dead redemption 2 recently released and required two discs. one was data only, whcih was copied off. the other disc was data plus the playable disc. this is the first ps4 game i have seen do that, but i don't know if there are othe

i ride a motorcycle and will be just as terrified if not more of automated vehicles, so i don't understand your reasoning at all. the patterns of poor human drivers are actually pretty predictable. in the future, i will need to learn e

of course the video to gif conversion process has some distortion. but this video we just watched clearly shows slowing down and then speeding up at just the right times to fit a made up narrative. those "distortions" aren'

.net is not equal to c#. f# has all of that and a much cleaner syntax than rust.

oh, i see what you mean now. from my understanding, .net core 3.0 will start to make .net core the primary choice of development for new projects on windows since it will include the uwp, wpf, and winforms desktop packs. but if you still ne

there were phones that effectively had a "notch" long before the iphone x. for example, the lg v10 had a second screen directly on top of the main screen with the two front-facing cameras slid over to the left. the second screen w
