So many, it's why I got into the field I suppose. Like everyone else, I have a hacker news client, which is "universal" (in the Apple sense), and is made around how I use the site.…

I wonder what the fallout of this will be, it seems a lot worse than the maps launch that's given as the reason for Scott Forstall leaving the company.

The quality of their software has declined significantly in the past 15 years. That said, it's still pretty good and this is probably down to reducing scope. Apple's software only …

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country"

It doesn't even have to be this convoluted. They can just do what they did with email. Step one, wait until they have the vast majority of users, then due to spam/'problematic' con…

I saw the announcement yesterday for 'Substack Notes', which is clearly inspired by Twitter, and thought to myself that these companies are going to clash sometime in the future. P…

The problem here is that the vast majority of "social" activity has migrated from thousands of little silos into 3 websites (Reddit, Facebook and Twitter). This creates a massive a…

I'm primarily a mobile dev, so I generally don't have much choice in the matter of what languages I use (Swift, Java, Kotlin). Occasionally, for a side project, I'll need some sort…

Event Horizon by John Michael Godier [1], just very interesting discussions about space, SETI and other stuff. The episode with Isaac Arthur [2] is a good place to start. [1] https…

I've been mac-only for over a decade, and the first thing I do is swap CMD and CTRL. I could never get used to the default layout.

Is this compute alone? Also, how likely do you think it is that we’ll see anything in the next 12(ish) months?

I would be interested to see the stats on what percentage of the profits of top companies went to all administrative employees(managers, hr, execs, etc) not just CEOs over the same…

Seems like an epic pain in the ass for a 4.1% yield I complain about gas prices as much as everyone else, but that seems pretty good. Does anyone know how much the typical miner wa…

I think this is a major factor. A lot of the hardware gains over the that period have been used by developers to make their own lives easier. When I was in university made a small …

I actually watched someone do this recently. With the right equipment, it works surprisingly well.

Thanks.

I've been having issues with it for the past couple of days, however, to my surprise no one else has brought this up. Is it just me?

>I seem to remember that Magic Carpet was a massive hardware hog I'm not sure about that. A quick search shows that the (on the box) requirements were 33mhz 486, which seems to hav…

Very interesting. Does anyone know if Magic Carpet by Bullfrog used a similar technique for rendering its terrain?

Yeah, newsletters seem big these days so that could work. Alternatively you could let users make profiles with their preferences for their ideal job (remote only, MEAN stack, >£80k…

Depends how low your costs are and long you can go without needing to make any money from it. If your expenses are manageable and profitability isn't an issue, it might make sense …

This is probably the case in a lot if instances, however, it's not always the true. I think there is a lot of value to be gained for existing programmers who wish to dip their toes…

It is indeed very frustrating, especially for those of us who bought Pascal cards before they stopped "working". In the end only the customers suffer.
