Maybe I'm opening the lid to the industry's best-kept secret, but every team I've worked on used SSH with a shared tmux session for pairing. There are probably more complex tools that cover every use case, but I never encou

Have you considered making this an app instead? If you're building this with API calls, most people probably already have the hardware to try it. Focusing on the hardware aspect might limit the number of people who try your product.

I'm excited because I despise Google's products anyways and would rather use the research myself. Did that with Google's BERT model a few years back to make a particularly clueless Discord bot.

I agree with you, but Tesla did get things in gear fast enough to ship cars, early. If Apple's car ships in 2028 (and that's optimistic), then they'll be 20 years late to Tesla's party. The early mover advantage is wor

As long as you don't use Docker. My last job gave me an M1 Air for container debugging and devops, and it was a comically bad fit for the task. I ended up going back to my cheap x86 Linux host for most of the dirty work, just because i

Apple charges the same developer fee to both iOS and Mac developers. Mac developers are free to distribute apps how they please, and use whatever payment APIs fit their use case. iOS developers cannot distribute apps freely, and must surren

Then why is $99/year perfectly acceptable on Mac which has more frameworks, lower hardware revenue and less payment processing restrictions?

To expand on the other (excellent) comment; cloud profits are hard. Google Cloud only recently started turning a profit, and Microsoft's Azure purportedly doesn't make money at all. You'd be building up to compete with Amazon

Counterpoint; Apple is still just as greedy as they were when Xserve failed the first time. Cloud customers want good prices and well-supported hardware. On the server, Mac is neither of those really. Apple's hardware pricing would nee

I have no dog in this fight. My $0.02 is that I prefer when all manufacturers (Apple, Android or otherwise) don't preinstall optional software, and let me install it myself if I want it. I empathize with the OP.

I think they're specifically mad about the app installing itself automatically. Free first-party content is fine, but preinstalling it for each user feels like borderline-promotion. Similar to the "generous" U2 giveaway that
