Well that strategy works, till it doesn't. There is a difference between being rich and being wealthy, and that is sustainability of wealth. You can live your life and still contribute to long term wealth growth. What if you need to pay for some big unexpected expense, like your pet getting sick or you getting in an accident? Without proper financial backbone, even one of those type of incidents can throw you off and take you down the rabbit hole of catching up with debt.

Genuinely surprised that the price is only $29 (or $25 if you get 4) coming from Apple.

While that makes sense, Apple's recent changes with the iPad Keyboard case adding a trackpad makes me think that they might have something else brewing for the long term. Time will tell, but I would love to see more MacOS applications like XCode become available on the iPad.

Edit: Also the fact that MacOS has been changing the UI to make it more touch friendly, for example: new control center.

It's overkill since most iPadOS apps are not optimized for more memory.

Does anyone know if the automatic color calibration tool they mentioned is coming to existing Apple TV's?

How long before MacOS and iPadOS have enough feature parity that they get merged?

Hey "This guy" here, any suggestions on how to style them better? My blog is still a work in progress, but I am always looking for ways to improve things.

Photography is art. It is not meant to be a realistic as-is interpretation of the scene, rather a representation that the artist (photographer) wants you to see. It has always been like this, even before computational photography was a thing. Photos would be boring if they were all straight out of camera shots.

I will guarantee you that an expert C# developer could write the same system in same or less amount of time than Elixir with Blazor or even SignalR. C# ecosystem is so big and robust at this time that almost all big problems have already been solved.

The surface book touchpad hardware itself might be as good as the trackpad in Macbook's but the software support in windows is not even close. Almost everything but UWP apps and some other first party windows apps have jittery scrolling even with the best trackpad hardware, which is not the case with mac apps.

after seeing what they did with xamarin, i would not be surprised if they did. but unlike xamarin, open sourcing github wouldnt help them gain more developers on their platform and i do not see any other business benefits. i would love to see this happen though

I have not tried x1 carbon but literally all lenovo laptops I have tried have horrible trackpads (palm rejection issues on linux, weird tracking).

MacOS is a good OS because it has a very human centric UI and it makes me very productive. Virtual Desktops that work flawlessly with trackpad, shortcuts like control command f to switch apps back and forth between fullscreen help me easily focus on task in hand, app quality is miles ahead of windows (scaling issues anyone?) and linux just doesn't have enough software available for anything other than development (video editors, graphics design etc).

Like someone else said in another comment, the grass is not green on the other side. I tried every windows flagship option out there from Asus convertibles to XPS 15 (still have this) and my experience was not even close to what I had hoped for. From big issues like coil whine on the XPS 15 to little issues like battery randomly dying, it seems like no other manufacturer cares about quality control and human user experience at all.

Ended up getting a 2017 touch-bar 15' pro and could not have been happier. At least with MacBook I do not have to think about the machine getting in my way while I am trying to do something productive.

The keyboard situation is bad but I am sure at one point they are going to have to do a recall or offer free repairs (Apple has done this before, look at the GPU issues).

The touchbar issue is overblown. Once I adjusted my workflows to use touchbar and customized the touchbar for the apps I frequently use I have definitely been a little more productive than my old macbook. People do not like adapting to changes.

USB C is not a problem anymore, since most of my devices are using USB C already I can usually get away with just couple of cables (usb c and lightning) while traveling.

You are right, i was confusing asp.net core with .net core.

As .net core is a full rewrite, all these optimizations are .net core specific, so porting them isn't going to be a easy thing.

But if you think about it, the use case for almost 80% of the people out there that use laptops or desktops is for web browsing and office work (text editing etc) which phones should be able to handle well.

People are satisfied because they need to justify their purchase. If the airpods costed much less, im sure we would have people complaining about audio quality and other minor issues, but when you pay that much you overlook the little things to justify your purchase.

Laravel actually was great at form validation, route management and templating, probably one of the best, however performance is what made me move away from Laravel. With Spring and Asp.net Core, I got the best overall development experience compared to the other ones I mentioned.

I am not sure about the situation of dependency management on Go atm (havent used it for a few months), but in my case if I had a pre-compiled binary, I could just fire it up without having to worry about compiling from source. I was not a big fan of the way Go handled dependency a while ago, but I am sure there are better tools out there now.

I don't think that is the only reason to use ORM's. They definitely help me be more productive while building apps where super-high performance is not an issue.

This. After using Go, Nodejs (Express, Koa), PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring) and C# (Asp.Net Core), I realized that nothing beats me in productivity when I am using Spring or Asp.Net core when building a web app. Little things like form validation, route management, templating and a ton of little under the hood stuff are much much easier with older frameworks that have been around for a while.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I don't think pre-optimization is a bad thing specially in use cases where you will need to optimize the application later, as refactoring things for optimization later is much more time consuming.

That being said, it all depends on the use case. And about your point on binary output, its not just about being able to get one binary and running it in different platforms, its also about being able to run it without much setup in the future. For example, I had a hard time getting a nodejs app that I built a few years ago running again since so many libraries were deprecated and I had a lot of broken packages, but if it was built using Go, it would just be one binary with all the dependencies packaged in and I would be able to run it without any issues.

asp.net core, I have tried a lot of frameworks and stacks from Laravel to Go and I have never been this productive on anything else.

It's not necessarily a rename of Xamarin, Xamarin Studio for mac was built on top of Monodevelop ( http://www.monodevelop.com/ ) and they are using the same thing as base for Visual Studio as well which is why they are all so similar. Im sure microsoft will keep adding features and make it have feature parity with the windows version.

That would be great!

VSCode actually uses natively compiled C# codebase for all the processing and only uses Electron for the "View" part. Atom does everything in javascript.

I got this from reddit but someone made a wordpress page with 4 years of his account history : https://paulcombetta.wordpress.com

Took me almost 30 seconds to load, maybe because the server is being hammered by HN traffic right now? Also like others here were saying, using a CDN would definitely help with the initial latency.

All valid points. C# seems like it fits the criterias the best out of the languages I have used.
