Which, funny enough, is what we've been saying about PC's for years but everybody discounts that and assumes PC's are just being decimated by phones and tablets. I bought my Lenovo developer laptop in 2014. It now runs Window

Aren't the people complaining about the new Macs mostly geeks? That's a very vocal but ultimately tiny sliver of their customer base.

I just saw the name telerik and didn't bother to even open the link. I've had nightmares with their stuff. Their standard response to any problems you might have with their controls is "wait for the next version"

But one wonders why there has yet to be an exodus of talent from Magic Leap. I suspect the work is interesting for the engineers but nobody has the heart to tell the C level execs that what they are trying to sell the public is bullshit.

>>Wrong. Yes it was a reasonable test, but their results are invalid. I'm confused. In what way are the results invalid? The results were as a result of a bug in Apple's software, no?

At this point I'm almost certain this is a fake report, which will only strengthen Trumps position. What is that line from Batman? Some men just want to watch the world burn? This must all be very amusing to the person sat somewhere on

Wow, we've come a long way from the outrage over the Kinect supposedly "quietly listening all the time" to these products now being the next great thing. What happened?

I'm not knowledgeable on this topic but I'm a bit surprised that the article doesn't at any time make reference to Rick Strassman and his clinical experiments with DMT. In fact, I've noticed that LSD and DMT are very rar

We say "see you at 15" in Zambia. Just thought I'd chime in here too.

This is true, but I've found that there is nothing quite like sleeping under the oddly soothing sound of heavy rain slamming against corrugated iron roofs.

I've been binging on Black Mirror episodes. So all this secrecy about whatever they are building is giving me the creeps.

It's very strange that HN seems to sway so heavily against open offices. I genuinely think the reality is that opinions are split squarely down the middle, otherwise hacking/working in coffee shops wouldn't be a thing for exa

I hate web dev. Yet I'm loving the experience of working with VueJS. I think alot of people feel this way. The library is just that simple and straightforward.

This is the sort of sci-fi show that I feel I've been waiting for my entire life. I hope it doesn't go off the rails but so far it's been very deeply haunting and thought provoking.

But what if consciousness itself is simulated. The problem here is that a simulation would have to adhere to a set of programmatic rules meaning that the only way consciousness could arise as we like to think we know it, is via some weird u

High profile what? Developers will continue using and supporting Apple products regardless. We hear a story like this at least three or four times a year. Geeks love their Apple products far too much to ever walk away no matter what Apple d

Aren't they playing right into Apple's hands by pricing it like an Apple product? Google will never, and I mean NEVER, be able to compete with Apple on fit and finish as well as the all round user experience with which Apple are a

I love this framework. I came to it as a back end developer that needed to do some front end work and started off with Angular and then React. I couldn't believe how complicated these two frameworks seemed to be as someone who's d
