I guess I deserved that. I will agree that iPhones are incredible and that we're a spoiled bunch. But still from a iteration point of view, this one was historically underwhelming. Which might indeed mean some longer…
Let me guess...fast charging? Don't do it. Ruins batteries.
Same, I'm a middle-of-the-road user. I piggy back on the better hardware once every 3-4 years but haven't noticed a meaningful difference in my total experience since the iPhone 6s. Almost every new iOS feature is also…
Picturing a real-world situation here in my recent past... We start with the pinnacle of engineering, a SPA, could be built in React, Vue, whichever. It loads, which on slower smartphones takes a long time as they suck…
Exactly. Software developers will never learn that the separation of concerns is a myth. In reality, UI, business logic and data are deeply entangled. Hence, moving these things apart makes everything worse.
"Splitting a system into subsystems allows each team to focus on their piece of the puzzle while minimizing the amount of peer-to-peer coordination." The coordination is still there because a microservice team does not…
A large part as in 1 minute?
That currently seems to be the case, but it's a puzzling strategy. It's a digital company that is trying to increase revenue with services instead of just hardware. How can you ignore gaming whilst offering your own…
The entire announcement is an exercise in masking that they're running out of ideas. Excessive lectures on environmental footprint. Lots of cultural/humanitarian story telling, a pile of non-relatable tech info where…
Well, not anymore. You can now take a wide landscape shot of some beautiful scenery, and then go home and sit on a couch all by yourself to look at it with a VisionPro. Allegedly, it's impressive, almost like you were…
I was just objecting to the idea that being against discrimination seems like a no-brainer. It isn't because the status quo widely allows it, if only it's the correct type.
If I have to believe several recent articles, there's an interesting gender imbalance as well. Whereas young women are making spectacular gains in higher education (in numbers, scores, degrees), young men are not going…
I'm honestly shocked at how high property tax in the US is. I'm from the Netherlands, where property tax is based on the municipality. A 400K home where I live amounts to 423€ in yearly property tax. Rate increases over…
I'm sure you mean that in a financial way, but let's not forget about the social aspect. I'm currently in a phase where the boomers in our family are moving into permanent elderly care, as well as a few that have passed…
I'll raise that number to 10 million. Meaning, there's a decent chance to make it, but I wouldn't trust it. We're talking about crossing 30-35 years, in an exponentially changing world that is exceptionally volatile.…
This is simply the American take on dishwashers. It should be done in 5 minutes, make no noise, be enormous in size, and I'll load it up with 2 items multiple times per day. Energy use be damned.
Musk has never stated to run X/Twitter using absolute free speech. Which makes total sense because you can't run a social network using this principle.
And yet so-called "reverse discrimination" is widespread, normalized and even celebrated. Hate towards all men, all white people, specifically white men, straight people, "cis" people, old people, neuro-typical people,…
No matter where you stand, I think it's good that this is happening. The CA law might be overreaching whilst Twitter might be too lax. Hopefully a head-to-head brings clarity on an important topic. With the CA law, EU…
Having your savings in Bitcoin is a bad idea, especially for people that don't have much wealth the begin with. It's strange though that the remittance scenario is so little used. The idea was that dollar remittances…
Not just VB, but also things like Borland Delphi. 25 years ago, you could visually compose a UI using standardized components, including advanced concepts like a layout manager. You could do data-binding visually by…
"Consider the future generations, increasingly isolated and reliant on virtual interactions, and it's hard to imagine how they could resist such a prospect." What future generations :)
Just be handsome and rich.
It actually is when it comes to the decision of watching a movie.
Thanks for a reasonable discussion. Whilst hobbyists can still use whatever they want, including simple options, I in particular empathize with those new to the field or looking to turn a hobby into a job. You need to…
