> It's not always about the numbers. In fact it's never about the numbers.

I've always found it interesting that the Android/iOS debate seems to go only one way. My handful of Android friends have tried convert with some new feature that does x and y over the years, yet I've never found myself trying to convince them to make the opposite switch. I think your quote sums that up pretty nicely.

> but the Surface Studio makes me wish I were

Have you used Surface before? Asking because when I picked one up about a month ago, I had an awful time with it. Makes me think their announcement won't really do anything but look interesting. I could be missing something, though.

I've always wondered why this doesn't come up more in the mac/pc cost debate. The HP I was issued at my last job needed to be replaced three times in the eight months I was there. Current company issued me a MacBook air that I've used 50 hours a week for three years.

With you regarding macOS bugs but I've never been more miserable using technology than the last time I touched Surface.

brutal, glad you made it out when you did.

The "bad as a human except when he's drunk" is pretty interesting, considering it usually works the other way around. Keep that shit at arm's length.

Seems your wrath is better aimed at those who implemented an open floor plan, not the lady doing her job.

Easy in concept but the beef cartel would fight tooth and nail against something like this.

I recently went through Learn Python the Hard Way (which is currently all written for 2.7), then enrolled in a intro python class at the city college that's all python3. The transition was a bit of a struggle; would have preferred to skip LPTHW for something written for py3+.
