Re:16-inch MacBook Pro on Wednesday November 13, 2019 @10:15AM (#21525013)
Same here. One morning I came downstairs and found laptops vents working on full. I left it on the table in sleep mode the previous evening. Laptop was extremely hot, luckily there weren't any papers underneath. After that the fans were constantly on full, often the CPU even locked itself on 0.78GHz and needed to be restarted to stop the throttling. They then replaced the mainboard, CPU, but it seems it's still overheating.
Same here.

I switch between all three major OSs on a regular basis. With so much of our software in the cloud it's not really an issue. The funny thing is that each OS has some apps that you really miss on the other ones. But it's not that onesided and you can be productive on any of them.
Re:Elixir at PagerDuty on Thursday June 14, 2018 @07:10PM (#17316175)
This is probably my only gripe with it. I really like static types, since the tools can be so much better in that case. VSCode + ElixirLS is ok, but far from Elm, Typescript or C# in that regard. I've been trying out Dialyzer and Credo, but it all seems so clunky to use.
Re:The Trouble with D3 on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @02:23AM (#17300713)
Thanks for letting me know, we'll take a look at what might be causing this.

I'm on FF 61 on Windows and it seems to work fine, same with FF 59 on Ubuntu.

Re:The Trouble with D3 on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @02:05AM (#17300632)
D3 is a joy to use and one of the reasons we've been able to iterate on our product so fast. Once you get over the initial learning curve you can build things really fast and the actual charting part ends up being the easiest to do in the whole process. Processing data, handing interactions end up taking most of your time (I'm speaking this as a developer working on a visualization product https://zebrabi.com/pbi/).

I have yet to see animoji used by anyone outside of Apple events.

Sad thing is that that was one of the most exciting things :)

It's amazing that so many bright minds are wasting time on *oji.

Why? Is there a company behind this webpage?

This brings back a lot of memories. We used to use Geany at the faculty where I taught Introduction to programming.

I love this documentary, I watch it at least twice a year.
Thanks for letting me know about Connections, seems very interesting.

Which is exactly what I said.

"Coming to a device near you"

Yeah, but not on my device. I didn't even get Android 7 :)

The cheapest 5k iMac is $1799, so just the screen is probably closer to $1000.

10.5" screen, better screen, new chip, configurations start with more ram.
So many of our clients (I'm still working in the BI space) are still using Excel workbooks and sending them to each other over email. I think it will take quite some time before we see any major improvements in this area. But I agree with you. Some of the stuff I see makes me cringe.
They are betting heavily on Power BI: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/
It would be great to have a more detailed calendar view (ie, the ability to assign tasks to a certain hour, not only setting the due date) and maybe a sync option with google calendar.

Also, keyboard shortcuts.

Re:2016 Retina MacBook Pro Caveats on Tuesday November 22, 2016 @01:14PM (#13016088)
The users used the same settings brightness settings as Apple on their benchmarks (75% brightness) just to be sure. But the observed battery life was often half that of the official one.
Re:2016 Retina MacBook Pro Caveats on Tuesday November 22, 2016 @12:57PM (#13015939)
A few other problems I came across:

1. Battery life is much lower than specified: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/battery-life-for-13-and-...

2. Some users report graphic card problems: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/pool-do-you-have-graphic...

Here is how it looks like: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/graphic-card-freaks-out-...

3. TouchBar graphics sometimes display on the screen instead of on the TouchBar: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/5eap94/someones_touc...

Re:Netflix Is Now Available Around the World on Wednesday January 06, 2016 @03:00PM (#10853262)
My Samsung TV still doesn't show me the Netflix app. As far as I understand they didn't show it in the countries where Netflix was not available. I hope that they will enable it now that it is.
