Well you won’t have to next time :)
I don’t get the charger whining from people. If you add the price of the charger and the wired earphones to the price of the phone then with inflation it’s cheaper than the handsets were in 2018. I’ve got 7 Apple…
I never factored them into my plans before. I have eliminated them now :) I drive a tiny little french thing with a chainsaw engine so probably not my market anyway.
Added BMW to my vendor shitlist.
Neither did I, until I did.
WSL distributions and Windows Terminal are both exclusive to the store. Wait until you try mixed mode windows and Linux containers. That’s the definition of a shitshow.
Or just don’t bother clicking it.
That’s even worse. File system performance is so terrible that it’s unusable for anything past trivial operations. AFAIK it maps the Linux ABI/syscalls to NT and that’s it. So you get the dire small file performance of…
Grass is not greener on the windows and WSL side. It’s yellowed and littered with turds to stand in. I run both platforms side by side and the Mac is by far the least painful. Windows 10 on an average day is like…
Alt+tab has been thoroughly broken on Windows 10 20H2 for over two months now. It randomly switches between the second and third window. No fix in customer facing versions yet either. They are slow and incompetent.
Can you please get a different job?
This is the most HN article I have ever seen.
Absolutely not. I was merely an engineer telling truth to the management staff. This taught me a rather large lesson that it’s more about the person’s integrity passing the facts on than the convenience of the facts or…
My house was paid for by someone who was that arrogant :)
I worked for an online gambling startup that got owned on launch day and the investors pulled out the day after. Thank fuck I was just a contractor and not a founder or shareholder.
Annoying because over here in the UK everyone shrugs if you mention it now.
To be fair it was a bit early technology-wise and they would have had to rip the entire thing out and start again three times since. We did pretty good out of copper in the end.
There’s at least two layers of indirection and yes I probably could fool you or just blatantly lie.
I don't believe in anything past 100% portable IaaS platforms. Within those bounds, careful application of AWS is fine.
There are a lot of religious followers of the one true AWS way of thinking. I dared bitch too loudly about SES delivery policy once and said to look elsewhere and earned the ire of the architectural elite. This is…
Problem with investors is that they pay third parties to do audits and third parties are filled with box tickers who ask a load of questions. You can strategically answer any question. So the game becomes how to answer…
What I find frustrating is that if you are in a high stake environment it’s increasingly fashion driven too. I am in one of those environments where we can get prosecuted, big time. I tend to opt for a conservative…
I get the feeling those issues are over on the Mac now. Over the years I’ve had issues that are shockingly similar to my PC stuff on the Mac. I have concluded this is possibly the underlying architecture complexity.…
I just spent all week on an 8gb mini with slack and about 50 JIRA tabs open. Works fine.
Yeah this is why I spent my saved ryzen money on a Mac mini. And found out it was good enough!
