I haven't seen your code, but using lots of Singletons is usually a code smell. > Learn a bit about microservices and RESTfull stuff and you might begin to see the light, about how a browser…

The latest version of Ember has improved performance considerably although generally it's considered slow compared to modern alternatives like Angular 2, React, Cycle, etc.

Who would have thought?

> What makes you think their USB-C cables will be much better? Nothing, but at least those can be replaced without having to upgrade the whole power brick.

Achieving the same level of performance with ARM is only half the story. Apple has to surpass the Core i series to make any sense to switch. And then there's the whole clusterfuck that would be p…

Problem is you also need to upgrade your motherboard, memory, and probably your CPU cooler. And if you do that, you might as well just build a new computer with a current GPU.

I've reported numerous iOS bugs in the webkit project and most of the times I never get answer. I also frequently report bugs in the Chromium project and I usually get an answer in less than an h…

To be able to ignore the instructions you have to be able to read them first. ;) Although all this is irrelevant since Apple phased out mag safe, the "ears" that hold the cable, and added a …

I've stopped upgrading to major macOS versions until at least 6 months have passed if not 1 year (when the following major version is released). This has worked more or less ok for me with the …

Couldn't agree more. It's not about courage or innovation for innovation's sake, but about making the right decisions. Sometimes that means being boring. The 2013 Mac Pro is a perfect e…

99% of users won't see this though.

I'm careful with the power brick and cables now since I've had this happen on a few Macbooks. I'd say half of the Macbook users around me have suffered problems with power brick cables.…

I tried Windows 10 for a couple of weeks and while it was better than I expected it's still a mess. The short version is that the Windows ecosystem is plagued by legacy software (even Windows its…

Downgrade to El Capitan

I agree, although my anecdotal experience after a decade of using Macs full time (and a few years part time before that) is that I've seen a lot more bugs and problems since Apple switched to a y…

I don't really know. The language in itself is awesome. My guess is that there are way too many moving pieces since Haxe needs many side projects to be the universal language it promises to be.

Couldn't agree more. That's one of the reasons we decided to not have kids. There are too many humans consuming too many resources in an unsustainable lifestyle.

Haxe was so promising but it remains largely ignored by the community. https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0dbj... …

I'm using a Dell P2415Q using the provided mDP to DP cable and it works just fine in 4K at 60Hz. Maybe you were using it at 30Hz?

Um... you can connect all of those in a laptop. Well, maybe not a 5K display, but 4K should be more than fine.

Why not have both?

I wanted to get a Thinkpad too but the monitor may come with PWM which is a deal breaker for me.

Except that this time the "latest and greatest" doesn't really offer better compilation times.

Author here. I got the one with Iris Pro. I was a bit worried about performance but after using it for a couple of days I'd say it's more than fine. I haven't connected it to a 4K displ…

Exactly. Like the lack of a proper GPU.

Are you enjoying the noise of the new keyboard? https://vimeo.com/195645497

I'm guessing you are single and not planning to have kids, right?

I'm guessing with the rise of automated jobs there will be a huge rise in electrical and mechanical engineers. After all, someone has to take care of those machines, no?
