They fixed the keyboard issue with the 16" Macbook Pro Intel series, which came out 4-5 years ago.

Because adding brains and storage to hardware is expensive. And putting simple things on customer prem means less things can go horribly wrong. And people actually like controlling their hardware from out-of-the-home, which makes doing ever

The whole point of bringing countries like China into the world economic system is to make sure that they realize that aggressive action is counterproductive and they refrain from doing so. Unfortunately that hasn't really worked with

That's a load of bullshit. With Z-Wave I have a pick of over 20-30 vendors. Z-Wave is just as open as Matter. It's just not controlled by Google and/or Apple.

Apple sells its products to its markets, and is mostly uninterested in the data center and embedded market. The support costs are large, and the margins are small-ish. Which is too bad for the industry, but also lucky for the industry. I me

A friend of mine used to work on a product that was essentially a printer driver. The problems include (1) QA, (2) reverse engineering the communication protocol, and (3) support. #1 and #3 are chronic issues in the OSS world. They're

Matter will lock you into the ecosystem promoted by Apple and Google instead of the ecosystem promoted by the Z-Wave alliance.

I suspect it's a combination of NIH and the big players wanting to control the certification process and chip supply. Z-Wave has been working perfectly fine for years. There have been protocol upgrades, new hardware, a pretty large eco

The main reason I prefer mysql over PostgreSQL is that mysql is just more consistent - in its commands, quirks, etc. Postgres - is it pg, pgsql, psql, postgres, postgresQL? The answer is "yes." Plus the case behavior for tables an

"Enshittification" sounds much more clickbaity than "Degeneration." But a literal reader might think "what's digesting TikTok?" Because technically, enshittification means sucking the nutrients and water o

1974 was a long time ago. 32 bits was a big number. The 8080 had 8 bit words and ran at 2Mhz. For people today, it's hard to understand how expensive everything was back then. 1K of RAM in 1974 cost about $307 dollars. Yeah, you'r

Really, the question here is "do you build a general-purpose solution or one customized to your use case?" I'm not sure where things are these days on the design spectrum, but I think there's still a bias towards "r

I think the realtime requirement removes hadoop as an option. They might have considered using HDFS as the data store instead of S3, since putting lots of objects into s3 is expensive. Or just using a big EFS volume instead of S3. It would

You don't need to read the "legends", because their lives and writings exist and are still extant. You can go and read the Federalist Papers, the notes and minutes of the various conventions, the letters, articles, and books

There's a ton of stuff about the founding of the US that isn't generally known. The original genesis of the constitutional convention was a trade problem, although I read at one point it started as a navigation/fishing disput

Waking up from sleep is an endemic problem across devices. Just google "waking up from sleep" and you'll see all kinds of stuff for both Windows and MacOS. I'm not sure Linux has deep sleep. I know it's been a probl

I know of a company that's using dried blood for testing, which apparently is the same as what Theranos was saying from a layman's point of view. The level of process you're talking about usually isn't in a deck; it&#x27

This is the same problem with laws. The only people that follow them are legitimate users.

Yeah, the one time I used go it was pretty good. The big question is always whether your stuff spends more time waiting or more time processing. For the former, it's node. For the latter, it's go.

TL; DR: "It's better to design a fast system from the get-go instead of trying to fix a slow system later." That's basically true. I worked on a system that was Java/scala/spring/hibernate and it was just

IMO the real problem with Clubhouse was it was for the intelligentsia and their hangers-on. That's not a profitable market. Advertising dollars chase the masses, and what the masses want is, well, celebrities, the good looking, the att

That's true, but that's sort of suboptimal. I mean ideally you would want someone on your team who understands how the technology behind your product actually works and how to use it efficiently. "We built this awesome tower.

Really, a better solution might be to spew the results into another table and then schedule downtime and replace the original table (via rename or whatever). It all depends on your database, which is why you need an actual DBA role on your

There are a lot of people looking to say bad things about SpaceX, and they're feeding the anti-Musk machine. That said, everything SpaceX does going forward is going to be scrutinized because there's billions of dollars at stake f

FTA there seem to be at least 2 problems: "the Pi has problems with cache coherency on the PCI Express bus beyond 32-bits. And many (well, all nowadays) of the drivers expect that to function." Yeah, that's a problem. "t
