Well, actually I have a beastmode mobile workstation that gets maybe 3 hours of battery life on high intensity. And when the battery is depleted I find a table with an outlet and I plug it in. Everything in the machine can be upgraded/

I’d like to point out that compiling stuff is usually disk/io intensive. Could this not just be that the Apple machine has a faster hard drive/memory?

I think these performance metrics are somewhat limited in their usefulness. A Ryzen workstation might not have the same single-core performance or energy efficiency—however, a ryzen workstation can have gobs of memory for massive data-inten

I had a bad trip and afterward I had anxiety. No anxiety before then. I don’t have “Anxiety” requiring meds and such—the effects taper off over the years. Believe me, I know the effects I felt and what it did to me—statistics and external “

I agree with all of what you’re saying, but the comment I reply to says it “harms noone.” I am saying it does harm people. To be frank, I have taken a decent amount of LSD in teenage years and suffer permanent effects from it (all mental st

Not sure I’d agree with “harms noone.” I have taken LSD and easily walk in the middle of the road with no cause for concern. Imagine a child accidentally eating some of it, etc. Could be worse than a loaded gun. I’m all for legalizing natur

We used to tell children the truth. Just read the old fairy tales—Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.

On that note it is a great tool during development to get a piece working without connecting it to the broader application. Test driven development gives a nice debugging context that is easier to work with. The code coverage and regression

Isn’t that a mapping? Because the primary purpose of the string of glyphs is readable by humans. Such representation is mapped to the numerical representation for storage in the computer. It may also be mapped to lines of ink written on a p

I like 1995 era laptops more than modern ones. I also like the the plastic casings of desktops back then—they feel solid, same with the mechanical keyboards! Today companies so busy trying to “slim things down.” P.S. why doesn’t apple relea

Really it’s not because it’s a sequence of glyphs first and foremost. It can be mapped to a number though.

See your thoughts make no sense because you’re on the computer all day. Mammoths, anesthesia, and pens don’t do computations for people

Yes but you’ll know and remember the route after plotting it yourself—and spatial awareness increases making you a better driver. Think of it this way: everything our phones/computers do for us reduces our ability to do the same task i

Yeah I agree the legislation would help—but the legislators mostly don’t know much about tech I’m guessing. And the experts they call in I’d wager are from big companies with their own interests in mind.

This seems like more a solution to open, transparent platforms. It’s a shame that we are going backwards: you used to be able to download software from the internet, direct from publishers with no limitations. Now everything’s all stupid re

I feel like the Airline industry does this when they say, “only 4 more tickets left!” Or “2 tickets recently purchased!” There’s probably some terminology for this in game theory (well, general salesmanship too)

AI can be conscious most certainly. Figure we can make bio robots in 100 years. All that needs to happen is building brains in the lab and bootstrapping them. The first versions will be somewhat mental but 2.0 most likely a better represent

On the other hand doesn’t forward declaration make sense? The code is declaring it depends on the forward declaration defined “somewhere else”. In a sense it is documenting the the classes/structs better.

Well, the features in Raku ARE what would be (and was) Perl 6. Perl 5 most likely won’t inherit these features as the benefit of Perl 5 IMHO is that it is stable and ubiquitous. Raku has some pretty amazing things going for it though. It is

Well, it’s great to experiment. And gnome 2 for example worked really great. I guess I am thinking more in the realm of things like “force touch” gestures, multi touch swipes and such. They could be useful as an added bonus for power users,

Honestly the problem with all software is people trying to “innovate” too much. They made this thing called a book once upon a time and those have worked for centuries. Same thing with UIs: the stacking window managers work well from Window

I think it would be great if you could invest in creating biodiversity more so than accelerating mono-culture agriculture with pesticides. The real problem is that these folks (And all other cash crops) have rows and rows of the same crop a

I haven't written any Java for a very long time, but I know that C# code I wrote back in 2004 targetting .NET 1.1 would still run substantially unmodified today on the latest .NET runtimes[1] - in fact I'm pretty sure some of it i
