Not to mention this was during covid when people mostly sat inside and likely didn't prioritize portability.

I can understand people want bigger phones. I just don't get why apple can't make smaller phones anymore, especially for a company that seems to advocate for accessiblity and inclusion. They can make different size tablets. They m

They have no shortage of people wanting to work for them. Why bother taking on a 'difficult' person?

I think you're missing the benefits outside of scalability. There are a lot of native AWS services that help you to quickly prototype and build reliable solutions. A startup saves a lot of money (and time) by not needing to hire a whol

Yeah, maybe. It's still hard for me to envision giving up a 2014 and 2015 MBP. They both work flawlessly and don't compromise on any of the useful features, like having USB A ports, SD card slot, MagSafe, no touchbar, reasonably s

Yep, and I also remember someone still managed to steal our car. Different times, different methods.

The original SE actually had fantastic battery life. If I recall correctly, better than the larger flagship 6s at the time.

Sad. A380 flights were always the smoothest in my experience.

We have these accidents and pileups constantly without involvement of assisted driving technology. By your logic we should disallow anything that could ever hurt anybody.

I can't relate to this problem either. At 5pm the work computer is turned off. No work apps on my phone. I think people just lack hobbies outside of work so they have nothing better to do than work.

When you don't have to work you're probably more likely to be in a place where you enjoy it. Having said that, I wonder how much work these guys do once they're in these roles and have already proving themselves time and time

I would say losing your job is at the extreme end. There are many ways it could have impacted you without you even knowing. Obvious ones are missing out on promotions, getting a lower raise, bonus, etc. I think it's incredibly naive to

Lots of companies are followers. I appreciate Twitter taking the lead here.

> In fairness, 4.7 inches is now a very small phone. So small in fact that you have basically no options that small in the Android line, and no recent iPhones that small either, if I'm not mistaken. You have to look at the physical

It's obviously a profit motive. They can charge more and have to spend less on R&D since they don't have to try to squeeze all the hardware into a small form factor. Not to mention there is no competition that could eat into t

Well put. I had to use Scala for a little and I wasn't a fan. It's maybe a fun language to play around with for a pet project, but for a reliable production system I would never pick it. The language is too flexible with too many

Other than being open source, what does Bitwarden offer over Lastpass on the free tier?

The nice thing about this one is the lack of the touch bar.

Did you just rent places for an extended period and work there? Sounds amazing.

Same here. If they make a better 2015 MBP I will upgrade my company computer, which will probably be $3500+. If they make a one-handed iPhone again, they will also get money from me. For now, I'm sticking with the 2015 MBP and the SE.

Keep going. - Fix keyboard [check] - Remove touchbar (or keep touchbar but also add back original function keys) - Add MagSafe - Add useful ports (USB-A, SD, HDMI) - Add sufficient cooling - Shrink touchpad to 2015 size In other words, add

The timing is a bit odd. Why would you buy the Pixel 3a over a mint Pixel 3, which is about the same price (maybe even cheaper when adding taxes).

But it is significantly larger, and it is also significantly heavier (weighs 50% more). The weight aspect is often ignored, but I found it very noticeable when I tried the XS. https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size&#x2F

I'm still using the SE because I don't want a big phone. Kudos to Apple for making a quality technical device that's around 4 years old now but still quite capable. However, shame on them for not making a flagship 'mini&

They are working on the stuff they are assigned to. If you need to know exactly what they do each minute of the day you could ask them directly. If there are cards they shouldn’t work, then find a better way to prioritize cards that enginee

That doesn't change the fact that the hardware is 3-4 years old. The SE has nothing that's newer than the 6S which launched in fall of 2015. It also has some components that are from the 6 era, so fall 2014. Like I said, it's

It's still a capable phone, but keep in mind the hardware is between 3 and 4 years old at this point.

I did the same ~4 years ago, but it's not really a reason anymore. Apple no longer makes reasonably sized phones, they stopped doing that since the 5s. The SE was a nice surprise at the time (I still use it) but it was always considere

How do you conclude that it 'works great' for your company?
