It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when an argument in that area starts using fake math to drive a point home. Top-tier engineers spend 6 months to have 20% improvement that could b…

TIL pandemic masks are part of a plot to bolster facial recognition.

I wanna see a language where the type system and the actual language are the same language. I'm not talking about self-hosted compiler, which TS is already. But basically what runs…

And they also took all the space on the sofa, which is the primary reason why I ban tracking cookies. /s

> This meme about Apple products deriving most of their demand from being status symbols is a decade or two out of date. Both of you are arguing on which side of an ideal abstracti…

> Would anyone else just be fine with a thick phone that had a better internal battery? Replaceable battery. Anyway, this argument has been made plenty of times. Apple prefers to s…

As we know grammatical errors are the ideal way to judge if something is real or fake.

For the money this 3000 mAh Apple bank costs, you can have 4 of these lasting you literally a whole month. Kinda hilarious.

> The M1 was hailed as an entry level chip Hailed by whom? I doubt you'll find a single instance of Apple calling M1 an "entry level chip". It looks like this is the blogosphere ge…

I don't care much about tracking, but this ad is very effective. It's kinda dishonest about what tracking is (it's not bunch of people making job and purchase decisions for you, co…

I wonder if they can't ship the same M1 but with some external RAM and GPU. It won't speed up some apps, but it'll help with Pro apps.

There's a limit to how much we can hypothesize about the nature of other universes, given we don't know if they actually exist. It'd be foolish to claim "QED" either way.

Well this blog post ended precisely how I expected it to end. "Maybe."

It's always a great time to complain.

"Eight months without perceptibly faster chip!" Get a load of this guy. Can't even wait even a full year, he wants his CPU revolutions every 4 to 8 months.

What language exactly you use that can't do web sockets, which is a thin layer over plain TCP sockets?

> You're not really comparing features to features if you're comparing to a boring 5000mAh brick with wired charging. So wired charging is boring and magnetically attached is excit…

A Canyon 5000 mAh is of comparable size and costs $12. It's not MagSafe, but frankly the cable is not a problem at all. I'm an iPhone/Mac user, but this thing costs $99 and they di…

Yes, let's have whimsical music, long pauses, tangentially related side chit-chat, and re-enactment filling us on what it means "to walk" complete with walking sound effects. Gotta…

I'm talking about the elevator pitch of their blog post, not of their company. Which are actually two distinct things (they're not describing their service in this blog post).

> It’s great that we’ve went full circle. But make no mistake that this only means one thing: that servers are cheaper than ever. We can now afford to entertain previously extravag…

I tried skimming through the article to attempt and derive the missing elevator pitch, but I saw them reimplement precisely the system they maligned at the start (push notification…
