I'm not sure. HP have shown that a premium laptop like the Spectre definitely has a market, which is where Toshiba probably needed to be. They seemed to decide at some point that they wanted to cover the entire market, including budget offerings like the Satellite right up to the fancy touchscreen, crazy folding half-tablet Ultrabook.

The last Satellite I bought all the hinges broke and the screen flaps about (still works though). My wife's old Ultrabook has a cool design idea (screen slides over the keyboard and folds upwards) but all the hinge gubbins are exposed so it looks half-finished when it's open. It has also decided to poop itself when Microsoft send out updates on a semi-regular basis and require booting from a rescue USB. Both of them are ancient though.

Their market used to be "I'm doing business but I'm not a developer" types who wanted something reliable and a little stylish and paid a premium for it, so I suspect what happened is too many budget Satellites and not enough interesting thinking like the Ultrabooks.
I miss the 0.7mm travel. Less work for the fingers. Faster typing. Too bad they couldn't make it reliable.

What do you think of NURBS? eg http://verbnurbs.com/. It’s intended for 3D instead of 2D, but still kind of relevant

How do you plan on doing text rendering? I feel like that’s often a challenge with cross-platform UI frameworks. Electron/Chromium does this well. Often QT apps don’t handle pixel ratio correctly, or the text looks non-native.
Running is great, but it's higher impact. So some people can't keep it up as long or tend to get injured. For long term health it's probably best to rotate between multiple different cardio exercises and thus hit different muscles.

Poor drivers. The same reason why the discrete GPU pulls around 20W just for being on with an external screen, even if the screen is black. Apparently not an issue:

* on Windows via BootCamp.

According to some reports in the MacRumours forum [0] this is fixed in Monterey.

There are 120M households in the US, so you meant like 1M I think. I imagine not all of them are accredited investors, though maybe they could be if they tried to?
Yeah actually I considered just using a commercial "fish finder" which is common on boats. Probably could have made that work, but generally their display units aren't waterproof enough to submerse, they want 12V power, and they're not a great size / form factor for a surfboard.
Working in undergrad and having thousands left over after paying for food and a place to sleep certainly can't be assumed to be. That's where my pay went.
It looks like a PowerBook to me, and yeah, it looks a little dated, and the curves look strange. But Apple being willing to release a laptop that "looks strange" is to me a signal that they want to value function over form on Pro laptops, and that they care more about cooling and power than they do about thinness and "elegance". It's a great step in the right direction. They can make the MacBook Air as pretty and "elegant" as they want but anyone with a boiling-hot 16" MBP will sure tell you how elegant it is to have a laptop burn their lap and throttle all the time.

It was time Apple valued pro users more than they valued their laptops looking good in hero pictures.

> If there is some specific edge case around ctors then forgive me - this is C++ after all!

Yes, the specific edge case is around ctors and dtors. During the ctor or the dtor, the vtable is the vtable of the base class, not the derived class, so if you call a virtual function within the ctor or dtor of the base class (don't do that), the function which will be called is the one from the (possibly abstract) base class. See for instance this FAQ entry: https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/strange-inheritance#calling-virt...

> Take game systems, as an example; far far more effort will be spent in the art and general asset management than is true for many business software setups. Which is why many of the business best practices haven't necessarily moved over to games.

You're right that game development involves a lot of asset stuff that other business software doesn't have to worry about as much. (And, conversely, a lot of business software has to worry about large mutable datasets much more than most games.)

But I don't think that has much bearing on why some business software practices haven't made their way to games. I think the reasons are mostly:

* Games are structurally different from business software, so the patterns that work for the latter aren't always great for the former. MVC makes sense when the "UI" is a relatively thin layer insulated from the "logic". In most games, the "UI" (rendering, animation, VFX, audio, etc.) is huge and more deeply coupled to the game state.

* A lot of enterprise software practices are about maximizing developer productivity in a single codebase over a very long period of time at the expense of runtime performance. Game codebases often have a shorter lifespan and can't afford to sacrifice runtime speed for developer speed.

* Game developers can be insular and are often either oblivious to what's going on outside of games or think it's beneath them and not applicable to their "real" code.

I think the idea that DDG searches are "worse" is vastly overblown. But again, I don't directly compare the two. But using DDG for many years I have searched for my query, scan the title of the top 4-5 results (which are visible w/o scrolling) and click the best one I see in the results. I have managed to find what I needed now on nearly every occasion. Going to page 2 is an incredibly rare occurrence.

The one difference I notice between Google and DDG is that DDG shows more search results "above the fold", meaning without scrolling. There are some searches on Google where not even a single legitimate/organic search result is visible without scrolling. The top of the results page is cluttered with all sorts of self-promotion, info boxes, ads, maps, and other garbage. A normal search result usually yields 0-1 (or 2 max) organic results above the fold.

So in my opinion that is the trade-off. Is that experience of clutter a better search result? I guess that is a matter of preference, but for me I prefer the simpler results from DDG. I am able to find what I want and the experience is preferable, and my privacy isn't compromised. So to me that is the winner.

The one area that I will admit Google has DDG beat is local search. It isn't even a close contest. I append !g to any search query when I am looking for a local result such as costco hours, or the name of a local restaurant to find their page or address. That is the one area where DDG just plain sucks and Google nails it every time.

It's a plain analogy, any drama would be created by the reader's reaction.

People also stop complaining simply because they've complained enough. It's definitely not always the case that they "get over it". People that need a Mac will certainly rationalize since they have no choice.

But given a choice, people would absolutely not buy a laptop with a turd like this notch front and center.

As usual though - Apple gives you no choice.
I was doing really well until I saw on that list that they own Purina, which is what we feed our cats. It's a shame, as several veterinarians I've talked to have said they believe Purina (Pro Plan/ONE) to be some of the best stuff out there for cats.

Well if its just you serving your own images then I think it doesn't matter. If its you hosting images for others, then that chould raise your costs but should be looked at as a cost of doing business and adjust pricing if necessary.

In my experience (both indoor and outdoor rowing), you can get much more cardio out of rowing than running. Rather than core the main muscle you use is your legs, if you see professional rowers they're not very bulky above the waist, but they typically have massive legs.
It depends. Sometimes macOS upgrades are worth it for new features.

For me personally, I installed Big Sur for the ability to use Stereo HomePods as an AirPlay output (previously you could only choose one, but not both in stereo).

It made my movie/tv/video watching experience so much better that it's worth the downside of slightly lowered performance.

That said, because macOS is not a fully sandboxed system like iOS, it's probably worth doing an erase install every 3-4 years, especially if performance has dropped noticeably. I did this with the 11.4 mid-cycle update earlier this year and it was helpful on my 2014 machine.

You may be interested in my comment above where I calculate the dosage you'd get. Your source shows something different than the source I used (which said 600Bq). But the high of your source is 16,704 Bq/kg, which means you need to eat 85.5kg (188.5lbs) of boar in a year to reach European dose limits (20mSv). That's a 0.234kg/day (over half a pound). That's a lot of meat to be eating a day. And that is the highest reading they found. But the median they found in that same area was 2,857 Bq/kg. That equates to needing to eat 1.37kg/day (3 lbs) to reach limits.

Note that this is also assuming that you receive a full dosage from your consumption, which isn't how it'd work in practice, so these numbers are conservative.

I'm not saying that you should go out and eat a bunch of wild boar, but that you have to be eating pretty much a high protein diet and almost exclusively on wild boar to even get close to yearly radiation limits (US limits are 50 Sv/yr btw, and even that level is not linked to increased rates of cancer). Though eating that much red meat every day is probably going to have other health problems (including likelihood of cancer) unrelated to radiation. It is recommended that you have less than 70g of red meat a day. I mean if you eat a hamburger every day (1/4 lb / 113g) no one would question you getting health problems and you're still under half the EU limits even when eating the most radioactive boar (16,704 Bq/kg) measured (less than a tenth if you're eating a medium boar (2,857 Bq/kg) from the most radioactive area (Bodenmais)).

You kinda have to actively try to get radiation sickness through boar consumption. The same is true for mushrooms.

Same comment but with WaterRower. The sensor measures the speed of the turbine in the water tank.
This is a pretty bad take.

I don’t see anything particularly wrong with Apple’s developer relations. You certainly might hope they would give us more than they do, but you always hope for that. Bottom line is, Apple gives us what we really need — a market.

Today’s presentation was almost devoid of discussions of software… because it was about hardware. It’s not like WWDC doesn’t exist. You can hear about Apple’s software as much as you would care to.

“Apple doesn’t care about pros anymore” is a perpetual refrain, but it seems to go through phases of being more true and less true (there are many kinds of pros, so it’s never going to be all true or all false.) We’re in a middle state at the moment, IMO, mainly due to the uncertainly about what the higher end pro Apple silicon story will be. Still, these current laptops look awfully good for many “pros”.

Linux has a lot of nice points and some pretty good distos that are improving all the time, but that’s not near enough to displace Windows or MacOS.

Logical positivism and the idea that "for a statement to hold meaning, it must be possible to verify its truthfulness empirically – with evidence from the senses," is a category error that leads to a lot of weird rabbit holes, but at least this one is interesting. R.M. Hare:

"I must begin by confessing that, on the ground marked out by Flew, he seems to me to be completely victorious. I therefore shift my ground by relating another parable.

"<<A certain lunatic is convinced that all dons want to murder him. His friends introduce him to all the mildest and most respectable dons that they can find, and after each of them has retired, they say, 'You see, he doesn't really want to murder you; he spoke to you in a most cordial manner; surely you are convinced now?' But the lunatic replies, 'Yes, but that was only his diabolical cunning; he's really plotting against me the whole time, like the rest of them; I know it I tell you'. However many kindly dons are produced, the reaction is still the same.>>

"Now we say that such a person is deluded. But what is he deluded about? About the truth or falsity of an assertion? Let us apply Flew's test to him. There is no behavior of dons that can be enacted which he will accept as counting against his theory; and therefore his theory, on this test, asserts nothing. But it does not follow that there is no difference between what he thinks about dons and what most of us think about them-otherwise we should not call him a lunatic and ourselves sane, and dons would have no reason to feel uneasy about his presence in Oxford.

"Let us call that, in which we differ from this lunatic, our respective bliks . He has an insane blik about dons; we have a sane one. It is important to realize that we have a sane one, not no blik at all; for there must be two sides to any argument - if he has a wrong blik , then those who are right about dons must have a right one. Flew has shown that a blik does not consist in an assertion or system of them; but nevertheless it is very important to have the right blik."

For me and my friends, "let's play contra" doesn't take longer than maybe 10 seconds from intention to the start screen.

I have a retro pi that lives always connected to my tv for impromptu play like you describe.

The Analogue OS doesn't say if it supports TV output or controllers besides

> OS is designed to connect seamlessly to virtually every 8BitDo Bluetooth, 2.4g and next gen controller. Wired and wireless. With button mapping on a controller by controller, system by system basis.

I attached two cheap USB NES adapters to it, allowing NES controllers of all kinds to be plugged in.

It works perfect for contra, battle toads, tetris, whatever, and feels extrememly close to native form my experience (which is impressive to me, as I used to play competitive NES tetris, which requires 1 or 2 frame input windows for some techniques)

EDIT: And TBH if that format is best for you, why not just spend your money on a real console instead? It'll definitely be cheaper and will ALWAYS boot faster than anything else you can buy.
the only memory safety gamedev needs are bound checking and use after free protections

everything else is just bloat and noise that hurts iteration time

and even if one would still value them, you'd need to check only once for whatever memory check you want to run, when you build your allocators for example, and not at every builds, and you could even write the logic yourself and have a debug allocator to ensure memory safeties

you want sub second and not "double digit seconds" build times

it takes one to try to make a game to trully understand why iteration time is far more important that anything else (other than performance of course)

you don't want to wait multiple seconds everytime you change the speed of your character, or tweak the rendering/AI code

that's why then some devs end up using scripting language and they loose all the advantages of their native language, because they want to speed up iteration time

that's why i personally stick to D for my game, my engine + game fully rebuild in under 1 second

you don't get to create memory bugs when you work on your gameplay code ;)
I love that game. Wonder why it gets some much hate online.
