what i've heard is that some older systems are (unnecessarily) sensitive to some of those bands, so it's not like turning on your ipod can just summarily make the plane drop out of the sky like wile e coyote, but each transmission adds a little noise to some comm channel, and with enough devices at once it can become unusable i have no idea if that's actually true tho

i finally went to upgrade from my 5s. i was definitely expecting to not like the x and just go with the 8, but actually the x felt pretty great and i haven't regretted getting it at all. it's basically the plus-sized screen on a non-plus body, which means there isn't much appreciable extra weight and your thumb doesn't have any trouble getting across it if you do need to swipe right. you don't notice the notch when using it because the main status controls just naturally fit on either side. faceid works great, i haven't needed to put in my passcode at all, i just pick it up and swipe and it unlocks. yeah yeah blessed size whatever, i got really tired of the 5s screen, i don't watch regularly movies on it or anything but just reading the web or watching the occasional linked youtube is so much better on even a slightly larger screen this has been your word from apple

The major reason to work there is salary and rsus imo. i have been informed by management that the reason our department doesn’t do special employee rewards like ski trips or whatever is that they’d rather dedicate that money to bonus pools i’m pretty ok with that

the only time it reliably fails and annoys me is when it’s sitting on a pillow and my face is obviously not in view. i assume i’ll internalize this lesson in another week or so i guess i don’t generally try to use my phone when getting gang-tackled in the middle of a rugby pitch or whatever the gently caress you’re doing, though swiping from the top is so much more reliable than it ever was with my 5s, because a swipe from the bits next to the notch always counts

this is exactly why that group has its head up its rear end, we have literally millions of developers who want to buy big beefy laptops and high-specced desktops and a ton of interchangeable machines to feed the insatiable needs of their distributed build/ci systems, and meanwhile they’re making low-spec dual-gpu toys for media professionals who were never that big of a market and mostly left the platform years ago and who care deeply about peripherals that they can’t hook up to their macs anymore

i'm just saying you don't need to specifically design hardware for prosumers, you just need a range of specs so they can buy the better ones. also they're not probably buying like mac minis in appreciable numbers anyway

every 32gb laptop is a big clunker because intel literally doesn't make mobile chipsets that support that much memory. they've been promising to do it for years and repeatedly failing. so a laptop with 32gb is running with a desktop chipset and trying its best to make do

cinci zoo sniper posted:oh. well, that explains quite a lot, sadly yeah. all the skylake mobile processors only support 16gb max, and only lpddr3 or ddr3l. kaby lake... well, "kaby lake" covers a lot of different chips with a lot of different capabilities, but the newer ones finally support 32gb and sometimes 64gb, generally of either lpddr3, ddr3l, or sometimes ddr4. none of them support lpddr4 yet, which is a shame because the power drop is pretty big. anyway the earliest of those chips started shipping at the start of last year, so most laptops are still based on older chips, so they generally don't go up to 32gb unless they're actually based around a desktop chip

infernal machines posted:i am constantly amazed that this seemingly simple skill eludes people. especially because automated routing is absolutely heinous in a lot of scenarios so having some idea where you're going and how to get there neatly sidesteps the problem of some idiot weighting algo deciding to send you through hell's half-acre a good friend's boyfriend was once giving me a ride to a party and needed to pick me up from the liquor store. this was in a warehouse district basically next to his neighborhood, less than half a mile away but on the other side of a pretty gnarly freeway intersection. for sf posters, this was the bevmo on bayshore, coming from like portrero and 24th. so i tell him, look, i know these roads, it's annoying to get here by car, i'm going to walk across the street so you can just come through the intersection and pick me up at like a bus stop instead of trying to make a bunch of terrible turns to get into this exact parking lot, here's exactly what you should do. and he just absolutely cannot handle it, because he has no intention of just following these super-simple directions, he needs a street address that he can put into his gps. so i say fine, i'll just wait in the parking lot, and of course he fucks up even following the gps and he misses his turn and tries to make the next one except that's no good because sure it goes back to the main street but you can't turn left there and he ends up orbiting around these warehouses for like five minutes trying to figure out how to get through to where i am. eventually he shows up and he's obviously super pissed off but trying to make a good show of it and my friend is just sitting there rigid and embarrassed, and we try our best to leave him alone for the rest of the trip

people are poo poo at estimating the total angular distance they've turned, especially if they're paying close attention to other cars like you have to in a roundabout. counting exits is absolutely the right thing to do even in a simple two-way intersection, assuming there isn't something even better like clearly labelled unique signage for each exit

The Management posted:software is infinitely reproducible, it doesn’t matter if you make one or one hundred million. the limit is team’s ability to meet the schedule. if you keep piling on releases and increasing the number of devices that are supported then the team is always converging so can’t make forward progress, features get punted or released with bugs, technical debt piles up and no one has any time to work it down. so they react to that by increasing process which slows everything down more and makes the problem worse. rinse, repeat. aren’t you a hardware engineer

i appreciate that the british care enough to keep old traditions alive, like lawyers wearing absurd wigs, or pubs putting up pictures of the queen, or pickpocketing being an actual crime that still happens to people if you told that me literal highway robbery was common in england, with cars pulling up to "lorries" on the mi-5 bypass and pointing old-timey revolvers at them, i wouldn't be surprised endearing, really

Affix a pocketknife to the nearest long stick and wish they were any good at hurling a javelin? apparently people's best guess is that pickpocketing lore has basically died out in the us and nobody knows how to do it properly anymore. it's hard to be a surreptitious pickpocket, and it used to get passed down generation to generation, oliver-twist-like, but that doesn't happen anymore. also wallets just aren't as valuable anymore because people carry less cash and credit cards have gotten harder to fence, so the grab-and-run thieves just specialize in cell phones rjmccall fucked around with this message at 00:14 on May 13, 2018 |
