This is why some companies and interests are better off staying private. SpaceX is a perfect example. Musk doesn't want to be accountable to shareholders for return on investment and annual results.

Services like this have a very large network effect. As the informed users leave, the quality of discussion drops and the remainder of users end up leaving too.

Now you can build apps on the iPad… it’s a baby version of XCode, but you can submit them to the App Store which is pretty rad.

Bar ends were never very popular. Maybe 5-10% of riders used them. I don’t think a single manufacturer adopted them in a shipped from the factory setup.

There is no doubt purses are useful on occasion and if you are carrying a purse, pockets are redundant.

But I suspect one of the big reasons women complain about pockets is because there are occasions where having to carry around a purse is a needless hassle. I totally agree that tight pants are largely cross purpose with big pockets.

All of my knowledge on the topic is second hand so I lack the foundation to disagree.

This reminds me of the guy who traded a paper clip for a house... only in reverse. Every time these companies get traded, more gets added to the bundle and they sell for less money.

Soon it’ll be Yahoo & AOL sold for an NFT of an illustration of a pile of used AOL CDs.

Why not just put the login in the top bar.

I’m not sure why a site would recommend making an extra click easier when it’s not necessary at all. If someone has ever logged into your site, they should get a login page so they don’t have to do some extra tap. This is triply true if your site is frustratingly slow to load.

Also:

Support password managers. Your damned custom login page BS might be cute in design but sucks for usability. If your site doesn’t work reasonably well with a password manager I won’t come back. US Bank lost my business this way recently.

Related: Have sane password requirements and limits. If my password manager gives you a 32 character password, don’t bitch because it doesn’t contain a number or uppercase character. It’s 32 characters long and unguessable, that should be enough. Also... if you fail because there is an underscore or ampersand, you’ve failed.

Modern houses are very easy to install and come in preconfigured shapes. They ship flat packed components and drop them on site for low skilled workers to build. They include things like bathrooms and kitchens as part of the build.

There are better ways to build affordable housing already.

You make a factory that builds prefabricated panels then deliver them onsite. With prefab, you don’t need to transport an expensive piece of equipment to remote parts of the world and have onsite experts there to supervise and repair it. You don’t have to deal with tear down and setup of the equipment at every site and installers have predictable channels to install any power/ water infrastructure.

I suspect the reason this is popular is more because they are aesthetically pleasing and use new/ special technology than anything else.

I suppose that’s a fair comment. The whole build system and IDE slow down when working with Swift. It’s possible Swift wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for faster processors.

One nice thing is Swift is slow to build but quick at runtime.

Apple forecast a 2 year transition a year ago at WWDC. That means they need a processor for their base laptop/ consumer desktops. One for their high end laptops and many of their pro desktops. And arguably one to replace the Xeon in the iMac Pro and Mac Pro.

Unless they are going to use this same CPU for the Mac Pro, this is right on schedule.

> 90% of the laptops sold Worldwide aren't Apple laptops, most of them are sub $500 laptops.

Apple’s share of the total PC shipments is closer to 15% now and their share of the laptop market is even higher.

Maybe for some low hangers, but compiling code will still be faster, XCode and VSCode will be a bit snappier, Safari and Messages will be a bit better. These base things need to work on a broad range of products.

The fact that Apple writes much of their software for iOS and MacOS at the same time means much of it is designed to run on fairly light hardware.

I know we’re all stuck with bloated stuff like Slack and some of us with MS Office, but just go native where you can it reap the benefits of the platform.

There are definitely reasons leasing is appealing, dealing with trade ins and resale can be a big headache.

I tend to hang onto vehicles for 7+ years regardless so it’s not a big issue here.
