You know Vulkan often changes or update their spec? It's not a nonsense for Apple to develop their own with easier API also made for Swift language, reliability is important.

In fact, Metal is powered in all iOS SDK too.
With anything I'm working on, the first place I go is the dired buffer for the project root. When say I'm trying to find in which file a certain thing is, I narrow the search down with % g, then search with isearch or M-x occur in the marked files. When I do know the actual string I want to find, I run M-x grep instead. I do whatever I do with the project and use VC mode to check in my changes if necessary. As I work most often with plain text documents, using TAGS files is often not an option.
Some comparisons to the contemporary version of OS/2 (2.1 was the current version when Win95 was announced, and 3.0 was released immediately before Win95):

* Applications minimized to a special folder, which was located on the desktop.

* No start button or task bar (they were added in OS/2 4.0).

* Shredder on the desktop (did not offer restore files like Mac Trash or Windows Recycle Bin).

* Hierarchical folders on the desktop that could contain either shortcuts or files.

* Shortcuts couldn't get "broken" as long as you did all of your file management through the Workplace Shell.

* Folders and file types could be subclassed in various ways to change their behavior and appearance. Simple changes didn't require programming.

* You could mark a folder as a project, and all the programs and files associated with the folder would open/close/hide along with the folder.

At the time, I felt that the Workplace Shell was immensely superior to the Windows 95 desktop. But it probably was quite a bit less friendly to new users.
i dont seem to follow. if you are doing data science, all the bottle necked stuff will be running in numpy or pyspark. Choosing python over R, SPSS, Matlab usually doesnt come down to which one is faster, and R as far as i know is at least not vastly superior in speed.
No, this is not going to happen. Find someone you can trust and that will compliment you in areas where you lack knowledge and experience. In other words, find a co-founder that will handle all tech stuff. Offer him equity instead of money. Find someone that will be passionate about the idea as much as you are.

Ask your friends and acquaintances for recommendations. Go to a tech/business meetup and meet people.

Some SVGA cards provide drivers for Windows 3.1 that added "virtual screen". It allowed to use a virtual screen bigger that the actual video resolution. To screen along these virtual screen, was only necessary to move the mouse to the edge of the visible screen.

That's very surprising to me. To me, the Swedish think more about their looks than any other country.
A simple GitHub or Gitlab repository is all that I need. Gitlab has the added advantage of a free CI (with 2k free build minutes per month), but for me git hosting + issues and boards + wiki pages are all I need for any project. I have used many, many project management solutions before, but if you use a sane methodology you don't really need anything else.
I doubt that they use chrome at all. They probably just fetch the page over http and let it run in a JS sandbox. hence the deterministic random function (which I assume is not there in chrome?)

It kind of makes sense from the investor's perspective.

Let's say that I've invested 100m in Apple, and that's the amount I wish to have invested. Apple does not need cash at the moment and is currently reinvesting it in other companies. The alternative would be for them to redistribute money to shareholders - say, I'd get 20m back, and could reinvest it in other companies myself. But there's a big difference - if I'd do it, the 20m would get taxed; if Apple does it directly, then it's not.

Yes, this is something I do to on linux, and it's great particularly when you're doing something that gets quite messy with lots of windows open - when you're working with lots of files, or you the program (like GIMP) opens up several windows. If you need to do something else it's so nice to just leave it all and move onto a nice clean workspace without having to minimize everything.
Have you tried specifying a smaller maximum heap size? The biggest memory issue IMHO, is that Java and the JVM do not specialise any "generic" code and so there can be a lot of unnecessary boxing going on.
IMHO, these are important features. It seems it does not have Bluetooth (for a keyboard and/or headset to listen to mp3 while reading) and the battery can not be easily replaced.

Incorrect science in explanation of "normal" ice:

>Water is a simple molecule — two hydrogens attached to one oxygen. The three atoms normally form a V-shape. In the usual ice found on Earth, the Vs connect in an airy structure. (That is why water, unlike most every other substance, expands when it freezes.)

Not quite, the "airy structure" (overlooking the fact that there is no air between the molecules) is caused by hydrogen bonding, not the V shape.
I've found this to be true in a limited sense if I buy clothes made from better fabrics geared toward what I would call semi-athletic or outdoorsy style. For instance I have some hiking pants that are made from a synthetic fabric, and they are greatly outlasting jeans or khakis. One thing is that the synthetic material doesn't seem to take on permanent stains as easily.
I remember my parents bought a 32" widescreen CRT HDTV (1080i) back when HD was first becoming a thing. That was the heaviest TV set I've ever had to move in my life.

They offered to give it to me a few years later when they upgraded to an LCD... wish I would have taken it (no idea what happened to it now). It took me forever to find a decent CRT on craigslist for retro gaming :)
Is writing extensions a lost art? I read a few blog posts about speeding up Python and Ruby with Rust extensions. This should enable rewriting only the slow parts. Later, you could replace more of it if needed. Is writing extensions so very problematic in practice?

I know Go has runtime issues making it not very good for mixing with other languages, so it often encourages rewriting the whole application in it.

You should not be buying 2 suits and half a dozen shirts per year.

I wear tshirts daily and I don't even buy half a dozen tshirts per year. I have some that are over 5 years old.

Spend more than the bare minimum on your clothes, and they will last you a long time. A suit should last you at least half a decade.

Maybe it's because I work in small companies, but New Zealand and Australia seem to have the world beat for casual dress codes.

I frequently turn up to work wearing flip flops and shorts. The way I see it, and the way the company sees it, is that if I'm not interacting with anyone outside the company, it doesn't really matter what I wear. If I'm talking to customers or other companies (very rare), I'll put on chinos, boots, and a shirt.

Electric shock to the brain boosts memory '15 per cent'
The hackability comes with the car doing most of it's internal communication via a CAN bus and having enough electrical power to power your custom electronics.

Apart from that, the car needs to have Steering by wire, Gas/Brake by wire and Shift by wire. Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Criuse Control in those models mean that the car can be ordered to steer or accelerate via the can bus without additional actuators.

I have been learning about that topic for about a year and a half and the reason I recommend those specific models is because I have seen autonomous driving companies pick those specific ones without official support from the manufacturer.

> Demand for the [wood-burning] stoves, which cost between £400 and £7,000, has tripled in the last five years – partly down to the savings they can make to energy bills.

This raises lots of moral questions. Should London ban wood stoves, effectively increasing costs for some of its poorest inhabitants?

Burning wood might produce pollutants, but how does the net effect compare to the production of the oil/gas/electricity required to produce the alternative? Of course that production is done off-site, not in urban centers, but it wouldn't surprise me if wood-burning is better for the environment than manufacturing the necessary amount of coal/oil/gas/electricity required to heat the same house.

Bioinformatics is perpetually ten years behind. The de facto standard for sequencing data is effectively a stripped down bzipped plain text file. It's madness.
Check the comment four levels above. Apparently it is not at all intuitive that folders can be inside other folders.
Quantity has a quality all of its own. And quantity is only achieved through this sort of further optimisation.

It is much too easy to disparage an optimisation as unimportant compared to some hypothetical "original" idea of which it is a refinement, and we should not do this, especially to try to claim credit for people we know at the cost of those far away we've never heard of.

The "original" inventions behind recorded music, the telephone, the incandescent light bulb, and numerous other obvious examples are poor shadows of the commercially successful item that means we know them today. We honour many of the people who refined these items as "geniuses" today, often pretending to ourselves that they invented them rather than merely refining the work of others, this does everybody involved a disservice, and it disparages the real contribution of people (in China and elsewhere) optimising today's inventions. The flat panel display you're almost certainly reading this on is the product of _millions_ of such optimisations.
For minimize I can't say. But the maximize works the way it works because (and this is according to the platform ideology, not some general truth) you are not supposed to maximize windows in the Windows sense of the word.

The macOS interface is based around floating and overlapping windows. If you put a window over the whole screen then it could be as well maximized. This gets a bit hairy on smaller screens but really shines on huge monitors. In general macOS is more optimized around having one big screen rather than a multi-monitor setup.
It's good to be reminded that the state of the art WRT program stability has improved, though it's nearly 30 years later and things still aren't "perfect"... also, I didn't realize "fuzzing" as a term was 30 years old.
I went crazy with the nuisance of them. They came with gripping toggles that you pull and toggle to hold the tension. So they worked for a while, but soon there were breaks in the multiple strands of elastic in the stretch fabric shoelace sleeve, This soon led to bunching etc and I went to regular laces.
A lot of responses are commenting about writing being fast. AFAIK, the slow part of eink displays was always effectively clearing them. Drawing is fast, and drawing without needing to clear anything, such as during writing, should be expected to be responsive. Many new systems don't do a full clear for every update, but that introduces more artifacts each time until a slow full clear is done. But the better displays now can get away with it without being distracting.
Wood smoke is surprisingly nasty. Standing next to a fire you miss this because it's all rising above you, but it cools fairly quickly and becomes a health hazard nearby. The public Heath costs vastly outweigh the savings. So, banning wood stoves and simply giving people money for something else is a net win for society.

PS: I suspect a most wood burning in London is for aesthetics not really need.

Do you seriously imagine that a complex piece of software, combined with a complex piece of hardware, both of which requiring power to work, and probably a network, would be more reliable than physical, offline, dumb keys and switches?

Of course you don't. You'd have to be an idiot to believe that. So my main point, that technology makes shit more complicated with more failure potential, stands.
> Is there an international effort to document and preserve human knowledge so if/when disaster strikes, we can get back on our feet sooner rather than later? In this case the simpler technologies need to be documented with more importance because they will be far easier to reconstruct than more advanced ones.

This is one of the things I have been thinking about lately a lot. Our current society is very fragile because of all the high tech.

If there is a single large disaster we can be easily thrown back a few decades from a technological point of view because the knowledge of high tech (e.g. creating computer chips, hard drives, ...) is concentrated in a few places. If those places and people are gone then we will have a serious problem.

We are not even able to produce solar cells after a disaster but we have to go back to burning coal and wood for electricity.

There needs to be some sort of book series which teaches our basic knowledge (medicine, electricity, math, physics, ...) in a way that it can be restored rather easily after a large disaster.

The one thing I don't understand that Mac has never adopted is being able to use open and save dialogues as mini file explorers (move stuff around and rename, specifically). Having to switch to Finder to move or rename a file that has the same name as the file I'm trying to save is ridiculous. Of course I never need to do this anymore since I only work on text files under revision control, but it still seems odd to me it was never introduced. I really just miss Window Explorer A LOT since moving to Mac. I don't hate macOS, but Finder is a bit of a joke.
You can't even compare the two. Even if you burn coal in a plant, you are required by law to use advanced filters that greatly reduce the amount of pollutants.
Poor inhabitants can't afford £400 for a wood burning stove.

Many parts of London are "smoke control zones", and there are already strict rules about what you can or can't burn.

Since London has already banned some burning fuel it's easy to add another type.

They're talking about a window sized to the maximum space as if you click and dragged its edges out as far as they can go or just used a tool like Divvy.

You're talking about the "fullscreen" feature which I always found very weird. For example, ever forget your video was "fullscreen"ed as you try to alt-tab to it only to realize it's a 4-finger swipe to pull it back up. Making the user have to differentiate will always be bizarre to me.

It isn't clear to me what the problem with projecting into the future is. You just simulate the system or just let it execute normally (but under the control of some kind of "harness"). This will give you the correct result up to the point where some user input (missing in this simulation or execution) would have changed the behaviour.
I have a theory that media addictions happen in large part because screens are more shiny and colorful than reality. If that's true, e-ink only phones and laptops could be a big help against procrastination. (But also probably lead to fewer ad clicks, so beware of incentives for manufacturers!)
