If your goal is annihilation you don't bother with a fleet, you hurl a relativistic kill vehicle (aka, a hunk of rock or metal) at them.

The books and all are nice but the Dark Forest Theory doesn't hold agains much scrutiny. Among other reasons because if that were true we would be already dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmCTmgavkrQ

Insurance companies are the real target here. If they can potentially manage to get doctors to prescribe more efficient medication, then they will end up needing to reimburse less and improve their bottom line.

I don't think it's justified for bugs either. At least it should be opt-in per bug. It can hide especially sinister bugs that happen only in an uncommon case. This assumes a list of bugs that are actually reproductible bugs not an

A won't fix might make sense if the issue is a feature request that goes against the program philosophy. In that case forking the repo makes more sense. I wholeheartedly agree that closing issues just because they are old is a terrible

Evaluating and bubbling up good recipes is hard though. Everyone’s tastes differ and the telling thing is that comments sections are always littered with stuff like “I loved the recipe. I just removed half the sugar, replaced apples with le

iPhone and iPad front facing cameras do not need a bump and they run circles around the crap in MacBooks though.

Browsing history is a very useful tool though.

> Or do most pad users have a physical keyboard for text entry? When I listened to productivity podcasts the consensus seemed to be yes, people who tend to do a lot of typing on tablets hook them up to keyboards.

It’s it a running (almost) joke that nobody actually knows C++? I have not met anybody that work with the whole language and not only a subset.

Hm, I was under the impression that the sturdiness was mostly tied to materials, mainly usage of glass instead of plastic. A lighter phone should at least in theory be less breakable. Bendiness is another thing though.

That would be welcome. Although I must say that I very very much enjoy the 'one cable' lifestyle. All peripherals either hang off my screen when at home or off a single dongle when on the go (in the latter case I use a separate po

It was probably easier for them to keep the touch bar there as the enclosure is pretty much identical to the previous model. Maybe they had a stock of them to finish while retooling?

by yoz-y 6y ago
Touch Bar would have been more useful had they have an external keyboard with it. Almost no developers supported it because it was only available on a subset of devices. And then only in the case when people actually use the internal keyboa

I’m very dubious about the ports rumor. What ports would that be? USB-A makes no sense. HDMI would, but would it fit? If they add Mini-hdmi then you’d need a dongle anyways. As it is I think the only good candidate is a SD card reader.

1mm for a phone is quite a bit though. Pursuing thinness (and thus lightness) makes a lot of sense for a device you lug everywhere with you.

I find it terrifying that defending the truth always hits massive friction, whereas flooding all places with nonsense is barely an inconvenience. The whole point of protecting what we _know_ is true now, is that if we don't scholars in

A major advantage of dropbox is that it works everywhere. There is quite a change that wouldn't be the case had Apple bought them.

No. But saying that one party is full of liars and crooks does not by any measure imply that the other is full of saints. That is a false dichotomy.

That's clearly a straw man. Parent said absolutely nothing about the other party.

It might be. At my university all material was made by the profs at the school and distributed for free. But I've heard of schools where teachers force students to buy the books they have themselves written. My point wasn't that x
