Yeah, research in general. Sometimes the thing you want just doesn’t exist. The story of the blue LED is like one guy with a CVD machine he could adapt with great precision because it was the only thing it had.
You’d be surprised how much that still happens. In my research clean room in grad school we used to have to build machines ourselves all the time. Not from first principles mind you, but we did have a machine shop and…
Yeah as a New Yorker and someone that's lived in the Boston to Washington megalopolis basically my whole life, a lot of Europe feels very familiar. I felt right at home in Lisbon.
Also Environmental regulations are like vaccines. They're victims of their own success. In the late 1960s early 1970s, before the EPA, the air and water in the US was a disaster. The EPA documented it:…
Or, just turning back on the one we mothballed in Peekskill.
LadyAda is 5x the EE I am, and I think highly of myself. The boards are just art.
Isn't this like the exact plot of Down Periscope?
Especially if you're in the ecosystem. I can use them with all my devices, and they switch seamlessly.
Yeah, honestly, smartphones are a very mature category now. Only so much you can do with them. Same with laptops and desktops. Plenty of improvements to be made, but those yearly wow factors are just not coming back.
Not to mention radiation hardening. The soft error rate alone on these single digit nm chips would be massive.
Yeah, I thought maybe he was a big fan of GCC or something, but he just seems to not like compilers? Or likes complaining about them?
Yeah - I didn't understand the hostility - if these fixes had been refused or not even considered, than maybe, but they all seem like honest bugs that need fixing.
Yeah, me too, but thankfully Starry Night is owned by New York's MOMA. So the french can't have it, but I can see it in New York.
They meant scare quotes. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scare%20quotes While they may be “quotes” of stuff from the original (which that technically was) the intent was clear.
I’ve known companies to give exit packages on firing to avoid a lawsuit since you sign away rights to sue for illegal firing and it’s a nice cheap bribe. Mostly the big lawsuit targets do this. Not usually as good as…
I was able to. You just have to fill out the same paperwork. Give people an option to opt out, etc.
We make so much in China, I don’t get what the deal is, here. Just that a US billionaire isn’t making the money?
That’s been my thought since the TikTok ban as well. It was meant for people, but this for sure seems to meet the spirit of the prohibition. Does it actually violate it? We’ll have to see once the cases work their way…
Maybe it’s just because I’m an EE, but I really got into the data modes too. Like did you know how stupid simple old school pagers are to create signals for? You have to make some slight modifications get them into the…
Also AppKit works perfectly well in swift. People just probably remember the ObjC versions of things better since that’s where this all started. But the naming is pretty standard if you remember the old calls.
Yeah the wrapper is the same, it’s just NSView instead of UIView and the like. But the API is wrapped just as well.
Yeah, it’s exactly the same function calls. Swift C interop is pretty decent, especially when dealing with apples own calls.
There isn’t a ton of work being done in ObjC anymore. I’ve interviewed quite a few junior iOS developer candidates that didn’t even know it. There are some holdouts, of course. As I’ve been doing Mac/iOS programming…
Not even that. They’re suing to invalidate the patent entirely and are also attacking the W1 watch Massimo sells based on Apple Patents. I’m not sure as to why Apple decided to go full scorched earth, but man they…
Yeah, I’ve said in many interviews that I know a lot about signing Apple products, all learned entirely against my will.
