I would have bought the 13 mini except at the time the 13 Pro's 3x camera, 120hz and better battery was notable.

Now I kind of dread what will be available when it's time to finally upgrade this year. Am sure they could make a new mini that didn't seem as compromised, but now they think the size is non-viable.

Bring back when small was not a synonym for cheaper.

Walmart+ has the basic Paramount+ included fwiw

There’s a pretty fundamental difference between consoles and smartphones.

Including that most consoles are sold at a loss or close to it vs. allegedly being an open platform like iOS and android.

Epic being such an important partner to all gaming companies also gives them more skin in the game there.

They kind of do with the GPT, but it’s not as simple as just opening a Windows exe.

Need to go through the motions of configuring per game as it’s not meant to be end user software.

And I don’t think you can publish games using it directly. Still have to do the port itself.

I'll never forget the first time I booted up GLQuake. The mid/late 90s was a really special time in gaming getting to watch 3D games really get off the ground.

As an Apple user and web dev, I like some of their restrictions because I prefer incentive to build native apps for things I do all the time. They’re usually showing a lot more polish and integration.

Every time Twitter or Instagram bring up their custom share sheets I get super annoyed it’s not the default. PWA’s can probably get a lot of that, but a ton of web UX is arbitrary, unique, and more likely to feel janky in ways.

Even for well done web apps, like Notion, it stands out like a sore thumb when parts of the editor don’t work like normal Mac input controls.

I think PWA’s will have a lot of uses, but I don’t want them to take over either or Google get a browser monopoly. It’s bad enough how many devs don’t use anything but Chrome when testing. The web is what it is because it is not beholden to one company like the IE6 days

No, for decades DHH was almost obnoxiously pretty far left.

That he is now being labeled a nazi for saying we went too far with masks and that crypto might have a use after all because the ability for government to cut off all your money with no recourse is dangerous for society… it’s absurd and pretty much exactly what he often complains about now

Whether DHH is a dick (he is) or at times a diva, he’s literally none of the things this Twitter account is trying to label him as.

To call him far right is ludicrous, and pretty much the exact absurdity he’s often writing about in regards to people being unable to handle any differences of opinion anymore.

The leap to “you disagree? Nazi!” is why we all need to quit Twitter

Same with Didi in China, not sure about the Russian ride shares though

Yeah, comparing WeWork to FANG is pretty silly. The benefits that matter are the massive salary on top of max 401k matching and 3 gourmet meals a day.

Free coffee and beer doesn't begin to compare (not that I don't think what WeWork offers is useful)

Churches provide a lot of charity and communal support in most places where they are still relevant.

Community masters, one of the reasons that SLC has the highest income mobility in the country

Not to mention the pension bomb waiting to go off. That's one big thing that'll help reverse brain drain in most blue states at some point.
