Not their entire suite, but Photoshop Elements and Lightroom are in the Mac App Store. You can even buy a subscription to Lightroom with in-app purchases. And of course Adobe has many apps in the iOS App Store.

They could certainly take copywriting and proofing jobs.

While 10% is small in relative terms, it's still huge in absolute terms. And the Mac also remains an important nexus for Apple's wider ecosystem, even if a significant majority of their customers will never own one. Because of the

A nuclear reactor well above sea level and on geologically stable ground would have many orders of magnitude less risk than the east coast of Japan. Just because it’s not safe everywhere doesn’t mean it’s not safe anywhere.

I’m sure that in the list of substances which have leaked into the environment and caused one or more deaths, nuclear material is certainly one of them—possibly even in the top 1,000.

by sjwright 6y ago
There are plenty of non-nuclear materials that are significantly more dangerous. The main thing nuclear has going against it is its celebrity status.

In defence of the notebook of passwords, there tends to be minimal overlap between opportunistic neighbourhood burglars and identity thieves.

I completely agree, because ORMs are literally jamming a metaphorical round peg in the square hole. But enterprise gonna enterprise. Shrug.

The intent of my third point is that you should expect a decent proportion of the operations to be handled well by the ORM such that you can reap efficiency benefits from the abstraction. If you're spending a significant amount of time

And more importantly, you'd want to design your database to be optimal for complex SQL queries and not whatever generic structure that matches your programming objects.

Our views on this tend to be influenced by the sorts of data applications we've written in the past. I can imagine that people who've done a lot of corporate/enterprise development with large teams or straightforward requirem

If that goal is important to you, I agree. I disagree that this should be declared as a universal goal for all people.

Stored procedures are a really bad hack—in any practical sense they function as a mediocre API server which comes bundled "for free" with your SQL database server. If you need an API layer at all, it's much better to write

The problem comes when anyone thinks the ORM vs No ORM debate has a single answer. For me it's a simple test: • Your data makes sense as objects; • Your data is small enough to fit in memory; • Most of your operations are CRUD. If you

Depending on your definition of "full access", you probably haven't truly had that for decades—on any broadly available computing system at least.

You're comparing size only. There are far more aspects of a car's design which determine practicality and market perception. Current market prices aside, the ID.3 is designed to be perceived as a cheaper car by dint of being a hat

To be fair though, for people developing for iOS it's a disproportionately huge point in the "huge M:N matrix". My experience is that grand solutions can be attractive in theory but awful in reality.

I was responding to a person who said they were direct competitors. I agree that they're competitors in certain respects, insofar as they're both electric vehicles and both have their price spread constrained by the cost of batt

The VW ID3/4 are not remotely competitors, other than being compact electric cars. Very different size, performance and materials quality.

I agree, and in fact Sonic 2 for SMS was my first foray into Sonic as a child. A great game. A brilliant game. But way too different to make useful comparisons to the 16 bit games.

by sjwright 6y ago
Though it was not a port, rather a completely different game developed by a completely different team. It was a good game in its own right, but it’s not comparable to the 16 bit original.

It's a fallacy to assume that the consequences of future automation is going to be just like past automation. There's no reason to assume that there will be new jobs to replace old jobs next time. Because this time it's going

Pretty sure it's the nostrils that matter. The grandparent post was talking about needing your nose to be partially visible—and the top half of your nose is just skin.

Automation certainly doesn’t hollow out the “economy” but it certainly can contribute to wealth inequality by reducing the number of employed humans required to generate value. At the extreme it could permanently upend the concept of full e
