If you are working with text a monitor with high pixel density is important. 4K 27” is good for Windows, 5K 27” is great for Macs. I think companies should provide a monitor of this calibre and a laptop powerful enough to easily drive them

Would be cool to run this on Snapdragon X Mini PCs in a 10 inch rack

Excited to upgrade to a Mac with Thunderbolt 5 which should allow for 6K at 120Hz with 10 bit color over a single cable. All this with an OLED panel is just about peak display for me.(though miniLED would be fine too)

So in a good case scenario say AI continues on it's current exponential pace, most information workers are replaced by an agent, and a UBI comes about. What then? For people the life's journey is often more important than the dest

Hetzner seems to have the best deals in cloud computing right now, especially for individuals / small companies. I'm excited for their dedicated ARM vCPUs to become available!

Cant wait for Apple's 6K 120Hz OLED Pro display using the 120Gbps upstream support of this spec. We are nearing peak display.

I think we are seeing a 2 pronged change in the automotive space and I think Apple can contribute to both. 1. Consumer-owned Electric Cars with advanced AI safety and lane-keeping assist (Traditional Automakers) 2. Corporation-owned Fully A

agree, cloud services are way too expensive, especially when you can get an 8 core mac mini for $700.

Cruise and Waymo are the clear market leaders in Autonomous Vehicles. Tracking the progress of these companies in the past year alone where they are operating with no safety driver in dense San Francisco is incredibly impressive. The field

I am writing the backend of my side-project with it. Async/Await in Swift is game-changing for safety and productivity. The tooling is only getting better and you can expect greater maturity with the coming of [Swift 6]( https:/&#

The 2023 Nuvia based Qualcomm Laptop SOCs are coming in 2023 and could bring M1-Like performance to windows. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17075/qualcomm-x-nuvia-silico...

Transportation and housing are intrinsically linked with affordability and quality of life. For North American society to improve we need to address these issues.

In Canada extremely unaffordable housing has been the reality since the Pandemic. I think the US is just catching up and when it does there will be more unrest because of how much influence the states have over social media and news in gene

Hard disagree. By this logic we’d still be writing COBOL. Yes, switching tools has an inherent cost associated but, you must calculate what makes sense for your team. Not everything is relative, some tools are simply better than others.

If you look on the Swift GitHub page you will see tremendous effort going into async/await. It will change the game for server side swift later this year.

It's not the worst, but doing anything network related is very slow. Apparently it's uses html5 in the browse section under the hood, not even a true native app.

Haha I know. So many people think it is fully autonomous too.

The CEO of AccuWeather Barry Myers who Trump just appointed to head NWS/NOAA is essentially trying to privatize it. NOAA's API is horrible, slow, and you often have to resort to scraping the HTML because it leaves out data. Instea

It wouldn’t have to be exclusively macOS. You could likely choose your OS or it could be some kind of containerization.

I’m betting once async/await lands in Swift it’s usefulness as a server-side language will greatly increase. You can check on GitHub the work on a async/await by people like Doug Gregor has begun. Very exciting.

Interesting that this card has 8K capable HDMI 2.1 but not DisplayPort 2.0. Wonder when we start seeing DP 2.0 support in products, VESA said late 2020 in the press release.

A great update to a safe and ergonomic language. The best is still yet to come with Swift on Windows and Android, SPM Resources, and of course Async/Await.

I love Swift and I think it could be one of the best languages on the server. However here are a few things that I think would make it better: - Async/Await - Swift and Swift package manager support on Windows - Swift Package Manager r
