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.…

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…

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 smar…

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 ap…

"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 ther…

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 ign…

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 p…

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, …

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, sco…

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 y…

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 …

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 w…

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…

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" peo…

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…

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. …

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. Yo…

"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 generation…

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…
