- Pixel watch is an order of magnitude more powerful and expensive than a Pebble though. Raise to wake is not as simple as it may seem considering most big brand smart watches didn't have a decently working implementation of it until only recently. It seems like the author wanted to keep it within the Pebble realm.
- >I'm much faster at quickly spotting an icon
Using the label-less example in the article with the 10x10 monochrome icons I doubt many other people feel the same.
- Unironically Proton. Seems like they are slowly building their own suite of office tools.
- How is it opposite. In my mind they all fall under the same libertarian fantasy umbrella.
The post mentioned the idea of casually sending a billion dollars. Was that ever possible with Bitcoin? AFAIK it's less ergonomic to send money using Bitcoin than it is using traditional banking.
- Presumably written by a person who wasn't a web developer back then or were developing solely for Internet Explorer.
- I'm not claiming otherwise. I'm just saying that saving some hundreds of millions of dollars on compute is what Rust as a language can enable.
- Here's what Microsoft decided after a comparison to C#: https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/31/microsoft_seeks_rust_...
- No one cares? I am confident someone got a promotion out of AI automating that. It is the metric being tracked in performance reviews. What is not tracked is how the readers experience it, so no point in putting effort into that.
Bottom line is employees do what they're incentivised to do.
- He did say Debian, being stable is the one thing it's good at.
- How can person have 210 IQ in isolation? The whole points system is based on standard deviation. What is this first person's IQ deviating from?
- Google invented PWAs and broke their back trying to make them a thing. I'm not a fan of Google but credit where credit is due.
They were also highly incentivized to develop the APIs that make it all work as Chromebooks are basically hosts for browser apps. Apple, as well as the other tech giants involved in the W3C had no such incentives and were dragging their feet.
- I feel like they're both talking about MFC instead..
- Doesn't sound like AGI without physical capabilities. It's not general if it's bound to digital work.
- They're talking about people from outside the EU presumably.
- Aggregated metrics are always useless as they tend to show interesting and sometimes exciting data that in actuality contains zero insight. I'm always weary of people making decisions based on aggregate metrics.
Would be nice to know the per app metrics.
- Plus F# and a whole family of FP languages.
- Though for a PWA JavaScript is required so not a single HTML file.
- When it comes to Teams, unfortunately we do. It's actually used across Microsoft in general. A company of this size requires Teams even if just for the sake of keeping up with security and compliance.
- Teams is used in the Teams org that develops it in Microsoft yes. Source: I work on Teams free/consumer.
Not to say that the developers working on it are satisfied with it..
It seems like Pebble is focusing on a niche market and this new product seems completely in line with that. There are plenty of other companies targeting the common folk who have no desire to optimize their life like this.
