There is no way they get 200-300 subscriptions from a social news story. Their own self published data does not support this.

Aw that is a bummer, I subscribed in 2017 and love the Service!

Has any of this been addressed in recent Ruby releases? The velocity of the project has improved since 2013.

Yes, and what is that exactly? I need OLED displays.

Where are the OLED computer displays? I no longer want any LED anything after seeing OLED in action on my TV and smartphone..

Yes this, Blizzard is a very conscientious company in everything they do. I'd absolutely trust them. (Also not sure if anti-cheat is a factor here?)

I suspect the answer is not, in fact, that simple.

Simple basic heuristics FTW!! The dumbest thing that can work is often pretty darn good!

I tend to agree. Physical fetishism seems like a retreat from the core values of computing.

Yeah this is definitely the biggest point of the article, thanks for highlighting that!

Yes, fragmentation is a feature. Otherwise you are re-inventing Facebook, and we aren’t even sure we want the one of those we have.

This is exactly what I was thinking when reading that. It seemed odd to me that nowhere in that post was it noted that addiction to social media might be, y'know.. harmful? That said, I do applaud the "take a break from person {x}

Oh my gosh this is amazing, such a labor of love. Everyone clearly needs a reverse engineered disassembler on their wrist.

You bring up a good point: is this _addictive?_

Great insight. This is also true of online discourse, though the presence of {x} voices at once can make it overwhelming.

Man I miss the hell out of Clay Shirky writing stuff on a blog. He barely even posts on Twitter. I guess he had the book about the Chinese smartphone company in 2015 https://www.amazon.com/Little-Rice-Smartphones-Xiaomi-Chin

“What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.” -- oh man this is a fantastic quote. So true. AI will surely destroy human

A casual read says the safest easiest setup is everyone doing all their work on a recent iPhone model. Good news is, assuming the budget requirement can be met, this is pretty close to what is already happening for most people.

Android: unsafe at any speed, apparently.

The "success at any cost" mentality may have some costs, in retrospect

Pay attention to how much slower all the Android devices are here, whereas iPhone has long since reached laptop parity. So depressing how bad Qualcomm hardware is.

by codinghorror 9y ago
right, that's why the (presumably) dedicated chip for post-processing is a nice value add, as my comment said..

Anyone has to be better than Qualcomm, I hope. Their performance is just embarrassing at this point, relative to where Apple is. Compare: https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench

This -- is super freakin' cool. Real value add from Google, considering everyone is on the same very mediocre Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform. (Please PLEASE for the love of God, Google, build your own mobile SoCs so someone can remot

Oh man how I _HATED_ cursive writing. I was so bad at it, my Dad had to give me special lessons and penalties, which was an awful experience. You know how much cursive I've written in the last 30 years? Zero. ZERO. We will not be teach
