I had great results combining the two. If you (or your employer) can afford then you can ping-pong the models in the plan phase (not really ping-pong as humans should get a say too) and then let one implement and the other review. I got better results working this way than just to stick to a single model.

I grew up in/with cars which would score 0 (more like -3 to -5) and made it to adulthood, so I have a feeling that these features are not strictly neccesary.

At the same time what if it saves at least one life a year? (same goes for riding with/without helmets)

bat does not look like a pager: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#automatic-...

The problem is not new: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/mfc-update-powered-by...

My only problem with the Neo is that the base config has a good price, but if I want 512GB storage it reaches into the usable PC category. Usable for me: 16GB/512GB, Arc/RDNA 3.5 GPU Different tradeoffs obiously: light, good screen & touchpad versus Linux compatibility and backlit keyboard.

This seems to be a product management hickup. Call it either something else or add the functionality to WordPad.

The cheapest machine with Linux in the Australian Dell store is 13000 AUD (~9000 USD). You can buy many things for that money.

Maybe it is time for a new entry into the Smartphone OS market?

It does not help that many have kids later in their lifes nowodays and they are highschoolers when they hit that 50. (+ having first one late means having the second one even later)

(btw I did try to tell friends similarly that half way is at around 35-40, don't look at 50 as start of the B side)

I remember getting a copy of SubLogic Flight Simulator II on a cassette. It was a longer tape than a 90m standard cassette and it was 2 sided. Loading times were crazy on that!

(Eastern EU context) Cracked games came with speed loader "built in", they weren't bad to load, but we did have to fine tune the head position on the C64 too (often per game)!

Floppy drives weren't really accessible for a long time (they were more expensive than the computers, which you were lucky to have at all).

Works for me on Safari 17.4 (Sonoma 14.4.1, M2)

I think Android already allowed that 7+ years ago: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/10/progressive-web-apps-firef...

My user experience on a Pixel 6 Pro was better than on the iPhone 15 Pro Max (had to switch for family reasons).

I do not take away from Apple that their customer service is top notch and for many users that matters as much as how good the SW is.

I think it has the opposite effect on housing.

Big cities are built for many ppl. Allowing 100% remote work makes it possible to move to smaller towns/cities, which are not prepared for the extra intake.

Many towns struggle with this exact issue in Australia. You can view it as just a temporal issue as it will settle on the long term. But on the short term many of the locals can not afford to live in the town they grew up and the same goes for their children too.

Don't forget to check the screens on Lenovo laptops. Their prices, other specs and keyboards are usually good, but then the display is either low res or dim.

The T16 comes with the following display in Australia: 16.0" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz

I think there is more to that. As in maybe Apple hw buyers are not that interested in gaming on it?

For most a console make more sense and if someone wants gaming a gaming PC/Laptop usually a better deal.

As far as I know MoltenVK (Vulkan on top of Metal) is available as part of the Vulkan SDK.

DX12 on MacOS was announced a while ago https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/cjsilver/2021/12/22/were-ge... and started to run recently https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/mjohnson/2023/6/1/unleashin...

Youtube has radio stations too: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=live+radio+stat...

It might be true, but it only means that don't learn/teach languages to gain cognitive advantages.

As a tool language is useful for many things. Gaining access to other culture(s) is one of the most amazing ones for me.

I also do much better with long chunks of time, but it should be possible to make meaningful progress on most programming tasks in a true 1-hour block. It’s common for people to use the Pomodoro technique to great success with blocks of work half that size.

Pomodoro does not need context switching.

Breaks without loading up a different context gives the brain time to bring back the body into a less tense state, so the next cycle can be more energetic/productive than a continuous one. In many cases it lets some ideas run their courses and save time by solving conflicting thought forces.

The thing that sets him off is that he is using a computer with enormous computing power and everything is slow.

He does have a narrow view, but it does not make his claims invalid.

I liked that his POC terminal made in anger made the Windows Terminal faster. But even in that context it was clear that by making some tradeoffs - which the Windows Terminal team can not make (99.99% of users do not run into the issue, but Windows has to support everything) - it could be even a lot faster.

So we live in a world where we cater for the many 1% use cases, which do not overlap, but slows down everyone.

Many gamedevs do their own tools, because they are fed up how slow iteration is. The same thing is happening at bigger companies, at some point productivity start to matter and off the shelf solutions start to fail.

First step should be: get a cheap TN display and make sure that the page is readable.

(The buttons are horrible, but I gave up the hope that modern design will care about usability.)

https://booko.com.au/ is a great example of this. You search the title first, then you can select the concrete book/edition on the next page, then a nice list of options.

That is what I liked about good TV channels. Good curated content combined with shared experience.

Customised feeds took this away from us, disconnecting us even further. I guess the Metaverse (or anything alike product) will try to exploit this and reconnect users in the virtual reality. Being connected is okay, but the context will be controlled by someone else.

Using the clock line for data too. The disk drive was a computer too with a CPU, it run on very similar speed to the C64, so you can rely them being in sync.

When I overloaded my Intel Mac it did the same thing. MacOS is just not that great under pressure. Bluetooth regularly dropped out even with just one build running, when I started 2 at the same time (iOS+Android) there was always a chance for a reboot. (64GB ram+i9 cpu)

Had an M1 Mac Mini with 8GB ram for Lightroom+Chrome use, it did not cut it. 16" MBPro with 16GB ram is heaps better, but no developer experience on that machine.

I think buying as much memory as you can afford is a good advice for Mac buyers. 8GB is enough for Chrome + a few native apps, but would go for 16GB for anything more and now you can get 24GB with the M2, that is nice (like a 20GB machine + a 4GB GPU).

This is not a BBC computer emulator. It is BBC BASIC interpreter (+built in assembler) on top of SDL2, so you can write apps for Windows/Linux/MacOS/Android/iOS in BBC BASIC.

A non Canon example of the process: https://alexhude.github.io/2019/01/24/hacking-leica-m240.htm...

But, it was on the BBC Micro where real mind blowing stuff happened. The game Elite did something utterly crazy with graphics on the BBC B. The top part of the screen was in high res black and white and the lower dashboard/console was in chunkier four colour graphics.

The Commodore 264 family shipped this functionality built into BASIC 3.5 earlier in 1984. It can be activated with the GRAPHICS 4 command.

Before these, the Atari 400/800 had the ANTIC chip to drive the CTIA. You can actually program the ANTIC to do a lot more than just interrupts: https://archive.org/details/ataribooks-de-re-atari/page/n0
