I'm all for getting rid of threads, but what are you going to replace them with? Traditional functional languages may be the most obvious solution, but they're also among the most impractical of solutions. Is there anything else out there that can replace threading needs, without throwing out the book on programming? It seems like what we need hasn't been invented yet.
For anyone on the fence: These were fun to watch, but there wasn't much substance to them. You'd probably get a lot more out of a random 15 minute blog post on the subject.
One thing I'm not a fan of C# is how often library usually lack bundled code source, while other similar language(eg. Java), you can use "Go to to Definition" on pretty much any third-party library/anything without hassle.
.NET decompilers are really good these days. It's usually easier than finding the source code, and definitely easier than finding documentation that explains how things are supposed to, let alone actually, work.
Having high internet points makes you marginally more able to inject whatever hustle you've got going on into the conversation at some future date. Just a guess.
Could be a bot that copies high point top level comments on threads about the same URL from reddit to HN and vice versa in order to create accounts with high karma for future sock puppeting?
Depends on your credit score if you get no interest on laptops, unlike with phones (where they approve you or don’t, but details remain the same). Also, there’s no trade up program on the laptop financing, so to go back to OP’s point, there isn’t an equivalent offering for laptops to what exists for phones.
Yes. A lot of the diehards over at /r/apple let slip occasionally how they are always financing the latest and greatest. Which is absurd to me especially for the mac product lines where you are overpaying by thousands for an outdated machine [1].
And the estimate of 3 year lifecycle for wearables like the watch and airpods seems overly optimistic. My airpods are a year old and the battery dwindles in about an hour or two before needing charging, my watch is bricked after 7 months.
When the current debt bubble pops it'll be interesting if it effects Apple revenue as hard as it will the college debt / car debt markets.
Same but I stopped wearing mine. 7 months life is too short if it was new. Should take it to Apple.
All for complaining on the bad stuff, but this is a free throw.
> All of apple's top products were created before Cook took over in 2011.
So did you miss the part about how "wearables" -- chiefly the Watch and AirPods, which came out under Cook's watch -- is up 37% and now brings in more revenue than the Mac or the iPad, and nearly as much this quarter as Services did? And, for that matter, how services revenue is now a higher percentage of the non-iPhone revenue than any other segment, which is surely being driven in no small part by Apple Music (which is now the #1 streaming music service in the US), which also first appeared on Cook's watch?
I'm "cherrypicking data" about stuff launched under Cook's tenure that's wildly successful that you said couldn't possibly have happened. Good god, the paid Apple-bashing activity on some of these posts is absurd!
Everything is going to be less than phone revenue. When Apple entered the phone market there were already 1 billion phones being sold per year, now it's close to 5 billion.
Anecdotally, it happens to me because the old one broke/discharge battery at alarming rate/charging port stops working/home button (back when it was physical) stuck
I'm much more satisfied with the mac line sans the immovable blocks masquerading as keyboard.
EDIT: I owned 5 iPhones over 10 years, so it's not yearly. My iPhone 4 lasted 5 years, the rest are not so fortunate.
Also anecdotal, but I've owned ~every iPhone since the launch-day original iPhone. I still own every single one, and they all still work like the day I bought them. My iPhone 5 was replaced the day after I bought it due to a few dead pixels. My iPhone X came down with some kind of touch digitizer problem in the first few months I owned it, and again, Apple replaced it under warranty. But overall, longevity for my iPhones has been comparable to every other Apple device I own (e.g. still have the Mac II I grew up with; still works fine).
You could open an Apple museum! I sometimes regret I threw away all old phones. I had a pre-iPhone smartphone with Windows and foldable keyboard, I however only used the stylus to type... I guess the iPhone was easier to use for normal people, and it didn't look like a geek phone...
What're you doing to your iPhones? I end up holding on to mine for 3+ years each because I can't kill the damn things and it feels so unnecessarily extravagant to upgrade more often.
Follow-up– if all these problems are necessitating yearly upgrades, why aren't you getting your phones fixed under their 1-year warrantee? Batteries, stuck buttons/switches, charging ports, etc. should all be covered.

They aren't held in a negative light... After the war, they were forgiven and I think society in general has accepted that they were just following orders. The leaders definitely thought in a negative light.
I believe the reason it became a huge scandal was because, the money that was used for the purchase wasnt given to the university rather than accomplice's pocket. Thus, not providing further opporunities for the needy. And for you to legally purchase a seat in those universities, it was gonna cost them much higher price tag.
