IIRC, Lattner's the only interviewee, and this was his second appearance.

It's a pretty fun hotel with theme rooms and a really cool cave bathroom.

now will you fix the keyboards for realsies this time?

Hopefully with the quick turnaround more people will bring theirs in and get the failure rate numbers up closer to reality vs. the "small number" of failures they seem to think there is.

Will they be extending it now?

Texas may not have income tax, but property tax is very high, and property values are pretty high by Texas standards.

Right. Time and attention costs money, and why would Apple spend that time and attention on being jerks to 2.14% of the desktop market?

My favorite is when autoupdate is done updating, it runs a check to see if anything needs to be updated, and then it reports to me that there's nothing to update.

I recently got a 28" 4K monitor on sale for $250US, and it's almost too big to me, but I love the way fonts look under macOS's scaling. I'm farsighted, so when I wear glasses with a lower resolution, I really don't like seeing the lines between pixels. While not technically "retina", my new monitor is close enough.

Also, I do like working on a 13" laptop -- especially with workspaces. Switching the workspace is almost a complete replacement for the screen real estate of a larger monitor.

"Windows pretending to be Linux" doesn't have the same appeal.

do you mean "Windows Subsystem for Linux"?

Pretty much the same here. FF has always been a battery eater, and even if only one tab is open, it's the sole app in the "Apps using significant energy".

Focus. That's why I'm here right now instead of GTD.

It's not really a solution. Screen shot; toot with your mocking comments.

I block the camera on my work laptop because the conferencing software we've been using likes to default to video.

On the magic keyboard, the whole bottom row of keys is shorter than they used to be. Not by a lot, but they're shorter. They're now the same height as the keys above.

Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?

The author refers to the shopping cart sample -- which is exactly what I used as a blueprint. I think that's acceptable that the design pattern suggestion is coming from the store layer vs. the template layer (who is focused on the UI/UX).

I did a while back, but I don't remember what the problem was.

I think it has something to do with the 3rd party libs we're using.

We have to use it sometimes because nobody can figure out how to get our Delphi 7 environment running on Windows 7.

I feel your pain.

I keep trying other editors but spend most of the time just trying to get them working like ST.

My 10yo has a Dell laptop with Linux, and she's not learning Linux.

Bug report: even though the cursor indicates you aren't allowed, you can still click the button without accepting all of the "I'm OK with this" buttons.

Mastodon is cool technology. The problem is Facebook fills a hole that Mastodon does not. Facebook connects people in real life. Folks from varying distances are able to keep up with their friends and family. There's a built-in desire to monitor their conversations. They're rewarded with "reactions". Facebook provides value for a very large group of people.

A relatively small group of people saw a problem with Facebook. Of course they have to have some underlying goal to make money. So they set out to create a federated system anyone can host that doesn't depend on some central company that's just out to make a buck. It's a noble goal, but it solves a problem that most users of Facebook simply don't care about. It doesn't do the thing that Facebook does, so it's a non-starter.

I'd also add that Mastodon is more of a Twitter replacement than a Facebook replacement. Facebook is better at isolating your feed into your group of "friends". Mastodon is more of a river of information from folks you follow (many of whom you will never meet in real life.)

If you want to replace Facebook, first figure out what people value about Facebook and expand on that. You'll need to be better than they are (at least until people determine they're that awful.) Then look at how you can federate it or achieving whatever other goal you have.

As a more mediocre developer than the author, I would add that instead of copy-pasting code, you actually type it out. This makes it stick better for me.

IME, it doesn't get much more complicated than web development. Even as fragmented as Android can be, it's nothing compared to the number of frameworks, build systems, scaling challenges, operating systems, browsers...

I've been working on a project lately that was designed by a really smart guy. It follows the OOP patterns and IoC and all of that. Trouble is you can introduce such complexity that maintenance from someone a few years later can get incredibly difficult. A lot of this code I'm working in has implicit dependencies that are really hard to trace w/o stepping through line by line. If the code was more explicit, maybe it would offend the ideologists, and maybe it wouldn't be as flexible as it is (debateable), but it sure as hell would be easier to maintain.

I have to use it at work too. I don't use the IDE. I use Sublime Text with a couple of Delphi plugins. Compile from the command line. Debug with message boxes.

Funny because I'm on the other side. I do side projects. I enjoy it. I also think of them as resume builders. However, not one company I've interviewed with cared about them. They wanted to know what I got paid to do.
