While that may be tragic, it still is the intentional effect and hardly a mistake. Apple focusing on its $250B iPhone market over its < $50B Mac market very much makes sense. When they removed 32 bit support we might have guessed at Ap

I wouldn't call Apple's decision a mistake, they knew exactly what they were doing and their long term plan required it. The relative insignificant size of user base that still needs 32 bit support is dwarfed by all devices that

Chrome used WebKit until the Blink fork in 2013. That should make the numbers work. :)

As the other posts point out it's not just a matter of material, but a trade off. As you increase the ductile strength you end up with something that is more brittle and the same is true in reverse. Brittle materials are more temperatu

And this still happens in Texas where it is suppose to be illegal as well. I called provider multiple times and explained the rate from my insurer. They of course sent to collections, but they know they can't enforce it in court, but

RC vs GC really depends on workload/memory and the volatility of the allocate to deallocate timeframe. I think the better argument here is that iOS and MacOS use RC in the underlying objc libs. Having a CPU that works better around th

Clock is a up volt and down volt. There is a period of time it takes to reach either up or down. If I have to get the clock to reach 2 cores/units at the same time that is easier then say 4 cores/units. As you increase the clock

Except it did by creating a larger market. Some of that was flashy at the start like the gold watches but ultimately created a new market. Personally I quit wearing a watch sometime around 2010 when I found I was checking my phone and didn

They did this with FedEx planes out of China years back, forget which iPhone version, but they basically did the same thing they booked everything. All FedEx planes only had iPhones and everybody complained. I don't think they have t

To godelski point yes there is low level stuff that really isn't a concern except to jandrese's point it's political. If I walk out of a reactor room and my gloves from my contamination suit pop too high they get put in a bag

To be fair those are completely different things. Commercial needs a profit and uses low enriched material. Military is not concerned with profit and uses highly enriched material. I am not as familiar with the commercial side but I can s

It's not that SV is union workers but that union workers have a higher labor cost. Kind of goes to why GM started Saturn in TN and why Saturn cars where cheap in the late 80s, no unions thus cheaper labor. SV labor is expensive compare

As to point d. It's also not just the carrier but the carrier group as a whole. The US CSGs rival most countries entire air capability. It's impressive to see and not something you are going to try and attack.

The biggest issue with this would be displacement. A underwater vehicle that large would displace enough water that it could be tracked by satellite. It would also be a big enough whole in the water from a sound point of view to be easily

Tooling is not the issue here, nor is autoloading. ISO C and C++ doesn't provide tooling, nor should any language. Tooling is better handled by third parties and implementers. Language should be focused on application and execution of

I don't understand this comment from the standpoint that DBs including PostgreSQL, my fav, are not duck typed like higher level languages. They have to store the data in binary that must conform to something that can both be validated

This is the exact opposite of what UPS software does today. It routes based on spending the least amount of gas. Dynamic routing to also conserve fuel in NYC would be a quite a thing and what's the incentive to do that? They would n

It's really good to see Microsoft join in the open source community. I switched to Mac over a decade ago largely because of the Microsoft only mentality back then. Really makes me consider switching back.
