Completely nailed it. I need something with more grunt than the base prices here and apple don’t have a hold on that market because of expense. And they don’t hold the lower end market. This is still a niche.

Never heard that one before. Perfect :)

It's really not. We never did :)

Ah I hate those buggers. I made the mistake of ordering just enough of them once and I'd lost three before I got the first one on the board :(

Yeah I imagine that pisses off woodworkers as much as it pisses me off seeing some 1980s LED multimeter featuring as a prop in the 2100's in The Expanse.

If you do that, Zukon, SolidWorks, Catia and Altium vendors will tell you to piss off if you want support because the hardware isn't ISV certified.

Spot on! Also the floor is usually littered with things that fell off the benches.

This. The whole thing is a lie. As a former EE, I can categorically state that absolutely no bench I have ever seen is that tidy when debugging hardware. It's usually a complete snake pit of cables, mess and hell. And half the equipmen

You have to do direct syscalls if your lowest level is not C. I don’t see your point. Perhaps vendors should have stable ABIs?

Well when you start getting memory pressure you start losing cycles to compressing and decompressing pages which makes everything run like complete shit.

Good points there. I have to agree.

T495s running Ubuntu 20.04. Absolutely perfect machine as far as I am concerned. Everything works flawlessly that I've tried and the quality is excellent. Really like it.

No they don't. It starts compressing pages when the memory pressure goes up and then it starts running like dog shit.

This. I was hitting a wall on RAM instantly at 32Gb.

I have an iPad Pro. It’s not. And it’s not very flexible.

Ah yes just seen that. 8Gb of RAM for £200 they can piss off. I paid £240 for 64Gb of decent stuff in my desktop.

by qz2 6y ago
They’re not advertising any 16Gb models on their web site. It’s all 8Gb. Which you’re not going to be able to upgrade. I’m out
322.
by qz2 6y ago
I imagine they all are made with 16Gb on and the ones that are broken get sold as 8Gb. What worries me is my desktop has 64Gb of RAM which cost 1/3 of Apple’s usual upgrade mugging. I think I’ll walk away from this. Edit: just seen £20

No it doesn’t. Try it on .Net 5.0.

Personally I tried using it for F keys which is quite frankly the only requirement I’d have and it was awful. At a fully extended hand, which you need to do if you’ve hit a meta key, it’s impossible to hit the right F keys every time. I don

This is what I want to see: taking time to make large engineering decisions conservatively. A lot of vendors, the first thing you hear is it being dumped on you instantly followed by the realisation that it was designed by a closed team in

It's about protecting your data. Disks are encrypted and keys are not stored. Only backups are available to my next of kin who isn't my wife for reasons I don't want to get into here :)

Exactly. Yes I interviewed at a company where Silverlight and WCF was the future and they'd just rewritten everything in it. I didn't see it with the way everything was going. I dread to think of what happened to their business w

Probably Go at this point in time. They care about API stability, keeping scope focused and about technical improvement instead of marketing. And the language is nice to use! There are warts but they take a measured structural approach to

The language is absolutely brilliant and I love it. It's the vendor's schizophrenia that's the problem. I've run out of fingers to count things that have been deprecated painfully on after being promoted as the next grea

No thanks. I've been writing .Net since before day one and quite frankly I've been buggered around enough now to run as far away from this as possible.
