(btw I did try to tell friends similarly that half way is at around 35-40, don't look at 50 as start of the B side)

(Eastern EU context) Cracked games came with speed loader "built in", they weren't bad to load, but we did have to fine tune the head position on the C64 too (often per game)!

Floppy drives weren't really accessible for a long time (they were more expensive than the computers, which you were lucky to have at all).

I do not take away from Apple that their customer service is top notch and for many users that matters as much as how good the SW is.

Big cities are built for many ppl. Allowing 100% remote work makes it possible to move to smaller towns/cities, which are not prepared for the extra intake.

Many towns struggle with this exact issue in Australia. You can view it as just a temporal issue as it will settle on the long term. But on the short term many of the locals can not afford to live in the town they grew up and the same goes for their children too.

The T16 comes with the following display in Australia: 16.0" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 45%NTSC, 300 nits, 60Hz

For most a console make more sense and if someone wants gaming a gaming PC/Laptop usually a better deal.

As far as I know MoltenVK (Vulkan on top of Metal) is available as part of the Vulkan SDK.

DX12 on MacOS was announced a while ago https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/cjsilver/2021/12/22/were-ge... and started to run recently https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/mjohnson/2023/6/1/unleashin...

As a tool language is useful for many things. Gaining access to other culture(s) is one of the most amazing ones for me.

Pomodoro does not need context switching.

Breaks without loading up a different context gives the brain time to bring back the body into a less tense state, so the next cycle can be more energetic/productive than a continuous one. In many cases it lets some ideas run their courses and save time by solving conflicting thought forces.

He does have a narrow view, but it does not make his claims invalid.

I liked that his POC terminal made in anger made the Windows Terminal faster. But even in that context it was clear that by making some tradeoffs - which the Windows Terminal team can not make (99.99% of users do not run into the issue, but Windows has to support everything) - it could be even a lot faster.

So we live in a world where we cater for the many 1% use cases, which do not overlap, but slows down everyone.

Many gamedevs do their own tools, because they are fed up how slow iteration is. The same thing is happening at bigger companies, at some point productivity start to matter and off the shelf solutions start to fail.

(The buttons are horrible, but I gave up the hope that modern design will care about usability.)

Customised feeds took this away from us, disconnecting us even further. I guess the Metaverse (or anything alike product) will try to exploit this and reconnect users in the virtual reality. Being connected is okay, but the context will be controlled by someone else.
