I'm guessing it's going to do all this stuff on the device, and not done in the cloud.

Nearly every sentence of this post is factually wrong. A wide variety of DRM free video exists on the internet, some of it is even paid material. Louis CK, Jim Gaffigan and Greg Proops have all done DRM-free work. My iPhone can play any vid

EarPods are quite decent and the design is very ingenious. However, the response is pretty neutral. I'd imagine the Beats acquisition is probably at least in part to make better headphones. I don't know if Beats' streaming li

I'm just happy he's willing to give credit where it's due. That to me, speaks volumes towards the dev's character.

I grew up in the Airforce and spent a lot of years all over. I now live in New York City. If my keyboard thinks, just because I'm in New York City, that I meant to say, "Stand on line" instead of "Stand in line"

I really REALLY hope that no one is ignorant to the fact that tricking people to touching their penis is wrong. I'm REALLY really REALLY hoping.

By the time Apple showed up to any particular gadget segment, that gadget segment had existed for years, and sometimes decades before. iPad? Tablets had been kicking around since the 80's. iPhone? iPod? Smart phones and MP3 players had

The exact nature of various FPS gaming engines from that era kind of gives me a massive headache. Still, the point stands that this isn't unprecedented. John Carmack's has, in the past, just helped out potential competitors before

Not unprecedented though. Carmack did once advise Ken Silverman on using sectors with his 3D engine. Which later became the Build Engine.

I also meant to say that even if we do eventually make something cool, the crushing realities of working as a software developer still sucks. Granted, if you're a Googler or Amazonite, or otherwise working for a decent company, this is

I'm struggling to find any sort of counter argument that isn't, "But we get to make something cool!" Which is wrong, because most of our time, we're coding up something that shits CSVs so someone can go into a meeti

you don't think it's unfair that a landlord can upend your life and make it complete hell just so they can get tenants who are willing to pay more? This isn't about moving, this is about completely changing lives. How to get

if ICQ was so wonderful to use then why did we flee to the next best thing to come along? My feeling was that ICQ sucked in a very horrible way. I was never around for the Friendster days(I was a Livejoural user through and through, damn it

The problem is, you're asking people who've lived in a place for generations just to up and move because yuppies want easier access to bars and fancy coffee shops. Surely you can understand why this isn't so simple, I hope. P

Same's kind of true on iOS. Ultimately, the best solution seems to be on both platforms, ... VLC. Everything else seems to be based on ffmpeg anyway.

"Full stack" in the entire 6 years I've been developing has meant front and backend. Not, "I can spawn VM instances and code."

This is why the Free Market just doesn't fucking work. The "invisible hand" just doesn't care about marginal actors. Who cares if there's people being displaced? Free markets!@#*(_!@)# jesus I need a drink

Given just how bloody rich Elon Musk is, he should take the lemons, give them to his engineers to make combustable lemons AND BURN THEIR HOUSES DOWN. (or something.)

Exactly my thought. I'm a creature of stubborn habit. I still browse when waiting for things or bored. I'm just glad to see that a lot of GNAA and other crap has largely stopped. Still see the Golden Girls spam posts, but, out of

Customers aren't always idiots. However, there's a special kind of engineering idiocy that thinks that having a humidity sensor in a phone is a great idea.

by taiki 12y ago
Thinking from a consumer perspective, the temperature and humidity sensors aren't really useful. It's a phone, not a weather station. I think though, this gets to the heart of the problem with Samsung. They throw a lot of shit at
