It feels more like "I wanted to do something silly with arbitrary constraints and it made me encounter all these fun issues and build these interesting workarounds."
Meanwhile, Minecraft videos are too often “Look at the cool thing you can do in Minecraft” which you like me probably don’t care about.
With a product using code from KDE it must be said.
That's the conclusion of the article you are commenting on.
It doesn't help that the Nix documentation used to be one of the worst I have ever encountered while Arch and Gentoo have some of the most comprehensive and well written Wikis.
Did it significantly improve in the past two years?
Projects that matter in the Linux world have all understood that and are working on it from systemd starting spawnd to Gnome being all-in on Flatpak.
For all the publicity it's getting there, NixOS is really a very niche effort with little man-power.
No, I said that Apple successfuly turned smartwatches from something seen as gadget into something seen as a proper acceptable watch, which they most definitely did as I have proved to you with my previous message (which you are conveniently ignoring by the way).
The watch industry is very fashion conscious. Swatch Group managed to turn mechanical watches - a clearly inferior product which not only can't keep time properly but has to be serviced every couple of years - into something of seen as timeless and the embodiment of success so clearly Apple was walking a well paved road.
They didn't refund me everything once I pointed it. I'm fairly certain they did it on purpose hoping to siphon out an account with little use.
Banks are shameless.
Even I find that unpalatable because well, it doesn’t make much sense. Most of nature can’t be sexist. That’s a sociological term meaning prejudice on the basis of sex. Most species have neither society nor prejudice so the whole concept doesn’t apply. Same for gender as a social construct. What does it even mean for a wild animal to have a gender?
Everyone is there for a different minority used feature. By caring only about the feature used by the majority, you are actually satisfying no one.
That’s why product managers use persona on top of metrics. Nice products have niche features and some kind of personality. You don’t want to overfocus on them but stripping them all is a losing move.
It’s a never ending source of amusement for me. If what you do is broken, just go see your OS provider and ask them to fix it. Why do you even care about how things are working under the hood and how developers chose to spend their time?
Don’t get me wrong, it would be good to phase out these cables especially the ones in the ground which contaminate the soil. But let’s not imagine they are a very significant problem. I’m actually annoyed by the article because it gives the actual significant lead emitters - coal burning power plans - some kind of cover up.
Sometimes I wonder if I live in the same world than some of the commenters here.
Here is The Verge review of the Moto360: [https://www.theverge.com/2014/9/5/6108947/moto-360-review]. A few selected quotes by me: “It’s designed to prove that smartwatches don’t have to be ugly.”, “It’s not a gadget, it’s a watch”, “At 11.5mm, it’s a little thick”, “ Everything before it was a screen on your wrist”. And that’s the Verge being incredibly nice with the 360. Truth is it was very much still seen as a tacky piece of technology bolted to your wrist.
It took me two minutes to find by the way because this kind of reviews were literally everywhere in the years leading to the release of the Apple Watch.
No idea what you mean. The M1 MacBook Air is the best machine Apple has produced for years and finally convinced me to update my old personal laptop. The battery life is insane despite the performance being better than any of the high end Windows laptop I have used for work during the past decade. Plus it was correctly priced at launch which is very rare for Apple which usually extremely overprices everything.
And it was seen as a toy for geeks and software developers who think t-shirts are an acceptable office attire despite being the most watch-like of the smartwatches.
I would never have gone to the office wearing a moto360. People would have given me funny looks all day. Meanwhile you can wear an Apple Watch with your suit and everyone finds that acceptable.
Everything we have read at this point comes directly from Apple or from “reviewers” invited by Apple which is the same as coming from Apple considering Apple blacklists reviewers who don’t play ball from futur events.
At that point, we as consumers have absolutely zero meaningful and trustworthy information about the product and that will most likely be so until it is out.
It’s not. Margins are thin. Most companies make money though sheer size.
Emphasis mine. So you do agree there actually was a great resignation. You just disagree with the explanation given for it.
As implied by the comment I’m replying to, the only reason to keep Ariane 5 flying would have been its good track record bringing business on the commercial market but that’s not going to happen because Falcon 9 gets all these customers now.
Yes, which is why I said it was the part about having three planes to gracefully point you towards what you Could you watch the content we are trying to discuss here? I know it’s HN tradition to comment without reading but it doesn’t really help.
