I’ll give Apple one full more year and see where Mac goes. Their hardware products are truly incredible...minus Macbook /Pro. And I personally love Apple Music over Spotify but I know many disagree.

Using an iPhone X only proves to me that Apple engineers make incredible software that just work....when they want to. The app switching on iPhone X is perfect bc there was probably a team on that. The problem isn’t new stuff it’s old stuff

Right I think that explains why so many hardware devices have been delayed until they were ready. Yea definitely couldn’t be Craig or other software mangers.

Well go talk to so called leftists and you’ll see we really want to work on infrastructure. While I’m at it I might ask that you reevaluate your opinion on fellow Americans who have different views than you. The ones you see in the news and

Yea physicists are in a weird spot when it comes to inertia. Everyone’s heard of it but it’s not real. To say something has mass is to say it requires a force to move it which is what we call inertia. And also the E=m equivalence isn’t as s

Someone already provided a better answer than I can but just as another example. Constants can sometimes be a tricky name because in programming we think of constants as having a set value, but that’s not entirely what physicists mean. They

I do really love how C++ is evolving. The language is fighting and adapting and I think in a very smart way. This old dog can learn new tricks. I also love how often it makes me feel stupid at the incredible knowledge of it's maintaine

Maybe there were not any big things in C++17 but I do think they added smaller features that have a big impact. In ways such as we can begin to replace our parameters (where appropriate) with `std::string_view` and things of that nature. Mo

I think what he's saying is that using `std::vector` is better than using pointers and `malloc` from the point of view of doing simple things. (Simple is not the right term but can't think of a better word). I mean 80% of times.

It already did. They are shutting down the streaming service.

Yea I was thinking about this too! We can talk all day about static typing vs productivity but if they had a basic string type called PasswordHint and Password then maybe (maybe!) this wouldn’t happen.

I can’t believe I’m actually arguing this but devils advocate I guess: in this instance if they both used the same library then the command line would also have this problem. In this case at least there was a work around in that you could u

If they thought of doing that they could and probably should be sued. CEOs have a fiduciary duty meaning they are legally implored to do what is best for the company and bringing money back at a 40% tax is not in the financial interest of t

I actually never really thought this was that big of an issue but your link is really interesting and brings up some great points. Hamiltonians I think solve the largest issues but I know from talking to people who learn mechanics that that

The big piece of LIGO was the incredible effort that went into data analysis and verification. The second these things were detected a monumental effort went into confirming it meaning when it happened again the methods were already in plac

Yes this is so important. These are professors and from all the physicists I have ever met they are all incredible open to questions. Remember that these people sit there and think about these problems all day so they love talking about the

Is there some way this ties into Rick and Morty?

As a physicist who’s listened to him talk about the experiment, it really really makes you take a step back and marvel at how incredible that detector was. And 40 years ago even. He could imagine it but to build it to such an accuracy is in

Agreed. When I go from Ruby to Haskell I don’t try and eat hem to add Classes. That wouldn’t make sense. Why should JavaScript be different.

I thought Tim and the whole team did a great job presenting. And the whole company on every team did a fantastic job making every single piece easy to use. The iPhone X seems like a step forward in phones. I’ve used a number of androids an

Can’t speak of touchbar but I don’t understand the hate for 3D Touch. I love it and use it a lot. Sure discoverability sucks but I think it’s worth while.

Yea that would be very surprising.

Mostly but also because we haven’t “heard” the waves caused by a Neutron star interaction before. So experimentally we still have to confirm that they cause GWs.
