Productivity went up, but not necessarily worker productivity. If the machine is automated, or partially automated to the point where you just need someone to push a button, then the skill required by the worker falls and so does the wage.

The ability for the US to print it's own currency has had positive and negative effects. It requires a great deal of self control regardless. It's like a company with the ability to create new shares - great for raising capital, b

Constant software compatibility issues is what caused people to avoid WindowsRT.. depending on how soon Apple resolves these issues will determine if people stick with M1 or migrate to Windows 10. My company runs on Windows with lots of 3r

4/5 of the metrics have to do with user/car interaction and nothing to do with actual driving. In the driving performance and capability category, Tesla wins.

Is this the beginning of application compatibility issues with M1?

by trixie_ 6y ago
So I guess Windows won't run on M1, so none of my Windows software/Steam games will work either. Will software developers start dropping support for Mac now that they'd need to maintain an ARM version as well? It's not c

People watch videos and play 3d games on their iPhones for hours now already. Absolutely no need to make a dock more complicated than a dumb proxy for input/output devices.

Asus tried too. Many companies tried to make MP3 players before Apple as well. The point is execution, and I believe it is a slam dunk for Apple. Majorly upsetting the balance of PC ownership.

Depends how it is 'attached'. If it were wirelessly attached you could use both. Similar to how wireless CarPlay works.

Other companies tried mp3 players, and then there was apple. A cost of a desktop dock would be nothing compared to the cost of a tower. The mouse/keyboard/monitor you'd have to buy either way.

Apple should of made the iPhone dockable years ago. They could own the PC market right now. There’s no reason I should have a separate laptop or desktop with an iPhone 11 in my hand.

Everyone thinks the stock market is crazy. The government is crazy - printing trillions of dollars this year, plans to print trillions more. The currency is will be devalued, inflation will happen. Investors see that and are getting out of

I hope no one feels 'not needing to upgrade' is a 'bad thing' It's a testament to Apple's build quality and long term support that you don't need to upgrade. Samsung and Android are big on the half baked g

Avoiding release and dependency management is not a shortcut - it's avoiding a needless detour. Management is overhead, overhead requires resources like the 'good devops' people you mention. Many companies and teams are lean

It's not silly at all. Until 1995 home internet access was too expensive and AOL didn't offer support for http or any kind of internet access - only services provided by them. If they had the foresight they could of crushed the ea

Dangerously simplistic viewpoint assuming laws are good and the outcomes of those laws are fair. I'm sure if there was a law personally affecting you negatively you wouldn't feel the same way.

Because it's not an 'unfathomable' source of pollution, it's a fraction of a fraction. Maybe focus on the source of the problem - energy production. As long as the energy is being produced with renewable resources, it do

You should do the cost/benefit analysis of war over IP theft. I don't think a lot of people have because we're trending towards war.

We tell ourselves that to help us sleep at night. We'll think of a good excuse for Taiwan as well.

The current administration could could care less about human rights. That's obviously not what I'm talking about.

The current administration has been bullying China incessantly. I'm not going to say if the reasons were justified or not because it's complicated, but we shouldn't be surprised by China's response. It's not like we

Same here. Though if you are putting thought into the code you are writing - the logic, the structure, etc.. Then those thoughts should probably be written down as well as comments.

The self documenting one always gets me. It's not like the person has never read code that is difficult to understand. Yet they think it is just other people who write 'bad' code. Their own code can't possibly be bad. In

Right you are exactly the kind of person I'm talking about. You think your code is clear. It is not. The logic your code performs is the distilled by-product of higher level reasoning. Reasoning that should be the basis of your comme

If I had a nickel for every programmer who thought their code was so good it didn't require comments... or thinks somehow that unit tests make up for comments... only to come back years later and have no idea why the logic is working h

If you want to understand the problem with REST, just look at the discourse in this thread. REST isn’t a standard with a clear RFC, it’s a vague white paper that everyone interprets differently. It has more in common with religion than anyt
