Honestly I used to think the same way about JS, because not having types allowed for very concise code sometimes. But the more I used Swift I realized how powerful type inference c…

I feel you. There’s so much good stuff out there. But you’re only capable of handling so much. You’re under no obligation to process every piece of information you think you might …

IIRC the main appeal of CoffeeScript was syntactic sugar like lambda expressions etc that were missing in ECMAScript 5. I think ECMAScript 6 made most of the appeal of CoffeeScript…

Waiting to see if people on new ATX 3.0 PSUs suffer the same issues. It looks like the 12VHPWR cables don't bend very much close to the connection itself.

The Swift code that's generated is pretty good, but I found myself pretty much immediately wanting to edit it. I now maintain a separate copy of the templates that implemented some…

Exactly. This is why I got into indoor boulder climbing. It's hella fun, and as long as it is I'll push myself without even trying.

Wikipedia says the iPhone 5S was released in September 2013, So that's about 6-7 years of updates. The chart you linked seems wrong to me. Am I missing something?

But the existence of competition or lack thereof can have its own effects, some of which are actually desirable and make the iPhone have the draw that it does. If Facebook had a wo…

I'll quote another guy from this thread: "I like that TrueCaller on my iOS device works for most features without getting any permission from me, while on Android it refuses to buz…

Worth noting that WebP support was added to Safari 14 in Big Sur and iOS 14.

Wow man I'm really feeling that. I also have a great 16" and I'm experiencing similar issues with it. The new M1 MacBook Air is already as fast as my machine and costs less than ha…

I don't see what's stopping these developers from lowering prices for users in less developed countries.

YouTube shows a monkey for me in Israel

Have done the same in December 2019. I'm telling myself I really need 2 external monitors, as that's what I use at home. The M1 machines only support one external monitor (even in …

I thought maybe you can use two with the lid closed, but looks like that's a nope: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m1-macbook-closed-lid-d...

I firmly believe that it's downright impossible to give a great experience with the same UI using touch/keyboard+mouse. You're just bound to have ugly tradeoffs in usability xor vi…

I'm also seeing significant stuttering on Twitter on Big Sur on Safari 14.0.1. Chrome scrolls smoothly in comparison. Same deal on Reddit. Then again it was still the case before B…

They also doubled (!!!) the SSD speeds, at least according to their slides. Presumably swapping will be much more seamless, so I'm not sure low RAM would be a huge issue for most d…

But not for the Pro or the Pro Max. Also, the iPhone 12 has an OLED screen now, a decidedly much more expensive screen. To be clear I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't share …

What makes you so sure these savings weren't passed on to the consumer? I wouldn't be surprised if the addition of 5G alone ate into those savings, and they kept the prices largely…

Some of my highlights: - "Irreparable Harm: The issue of irreparable harm focuses on the harm caused by not maintaining the status quo, as opposed to the separate and distinct elem…
