I love putting it in terms of sunk cost psychology. That's a great way to put it.

"So yeah, I'm bullish on home workouts, but bearish on Mirror." Yeah, if my psychology was set up for it, I'd be doing those hill sprints in the park near me in addition to perfunctory pushups. But in either case: none o

I will grant you there was a diversification in "wellness" fitness options. But I think my point still stands with yoga et al: you were still going somewhere else. I'm just quite biased people will end up working out at home.

Pure gut reaction based off my own "fitness journey", and my family's: these things will all make really lovely racks for drying that rug that you don't really want to put through the dryer because it would stress the mo

Why is it a request or a requirement to not just have streaming Spotify or [insert music streaming service] over a cellular connection? Satellite radio has awful audio quality for music. I am far from an audiophile, but even I can hear that

But it's all “mobile” content, seemingly to be watched on a commute. Who is going to watch video on a phone at home? Oh, wait, kids, kids love their tablet and phone video. Which they get for free. From YouTube. Or their parents alread

They also launched April 6, 2020, which was right smack in the middle of pandemic lockdowns. Not great timing to get eyes on your ads. Not the right mood for “here’s light and quick content for your commute!”

They at least seem to be rethinking the “only on mobile” thing. You can now play on a TV using a Chromecast or AirPlay. Still no dedicated smart TV or streaming stick apps, though. https://help.quibi.com/hc/en-us/a

Yeah, harping on the browser situation seems a bit unfair. Chromium is phenomenally complex, almost an operating system unto itself. It’s not like porting a text editor. https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-docume

Judging by this horrible Bitdefender Endpoint Security that IT has foisted upon me: device management and anti-malware stuff.

I would not go that far. Security changes. iOS integration with AirDrop and Messages. Laptop trackpad gestures. But note what I'm highlighting for the most part: mobile features. They've added good stuff for laptops, and for inter

Well color me surprised. I figured that’d be on the chopping block.

Apple wants kexts gone. They announced the deprecation last year, and this is another chance to force the change. (And for good reasons, if my layman's understanding of the security is at all correct.) [ https://developer.app

It’s very much a matter of “what is your audience.” My current employer has dropped IE11 for new projects, but we keep it around for already extant products and pages, unless we do a full redesign and rethink. IE11 is such a small percentag

5. Development cycles are long, they were operating under the assumption Intel would deliver efficient 10nm parts in volume, and instead Intel is still on 14nm++++++++++++.

Thank you for documenting this. I have been getting exactly this kernel panic dump on my 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it's good to know I'm not sitting on a lemon. (Another lemon. My first one was absolutely a lemon.)

1. Less markup. It's way easier to have a unordered list and use flex or grid to get the layout in place. No giant soup of nested table tags. 2. How do you deal with responsiveness? A pretty typical pattern would be "have this set

Given the little slap on the wrist from the SEC for his “we’re going private at $420, man, yeah, funding secured” outburst, he will face no repercussions for this, and this’ll all be forgotten.

1. I think that has been tried. A lot. It never worked. Micropayments and custom browsers and “crypto”…almost nobody will pay for individual articles, unless it's in a highly lucrative and niche vertical. 2. But also yes, if it’s like

I cannot tell if you are purposefully trolling, or this is sincere. Regardless, let's wade in… 1. That's not's a study. That's not a metareview. That's a puff piece by people who have a strong, strong self-interest

I am quite the Apple apologist, but Catalina is awful. 1. As seen here, it's a bugfest. 2. For user-facing features, it brings…Sidecar? And a bunch of half-assed Catalyst apps, I suppose. 3. Such an exciting new set of security feature

That might be workable. Frankly, I think these mail-in DNA tests are like modern-day phrenology, but you could spin in that "pay us $x per year, and we will analyze your DNA every month once research becomes available".
