Ask HN: Why would Apple cannibalize its macOS/Mac ecosystem?

The improvements bought to the iPad OS announced during the WWDC bring the iPad OS even closer to the Mac OS capabilities set. As a long time Mac OS user I have a hard time why shouldn’t I switch to an iPad with my next device upgrade instead of a Mac. Not sure what Apple is aiming for here given that an iPad is definitely. cheaper than a Mac (eg. an 18GB air).Any ideas on why would the push...

I’ve heard google has an alpha version of this for internal use only.

From time to time they let it run loose to clean up their products.

Re:Ask HN: Using Java for a web application in 2023 on Wednesday February 08, 2023 @06:46PM (#34717461)
can you elaborate on what “more up to date tools” means in this context?
Based on some comments in this post and the posted article, it seems we are assisting to a power shift, I wonder who will replace the US and how long will it take.
What makes you think that it wont reverse? Look at what is happening to the chip wars between Us, EU and China, and the energy crisis in Europe.

My thought is that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of globalization.

I don’t understand why they haven’t used identical hardware, network latency and CPU context switching can be tricky to measure correctly.
faang like facebook or netflix? I think it’s time people stop using this acronym

That’s the worst piece of advice I have ever read. We are humans not machines, chasing money should never be a goal in itself. Manu people have a successful and accomplished life by non financial metrics.

Not really, Tesla hasn’t placed their cars in dealerships for years bound by a contract, and all of a sudden decided that dealerships don’t deserve the margin the same Tesla would have been bound to pay through the above contract terms.

Re:Kotlin becomes second most popular language on the JVM on Thursday February 06, 2020 @12:18PM (#22257969)
I wonder how long is it gonna be until Kotlin will have the same fate as Groovy and Scala.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate both Groovy, Scala as well as Kotlin. History has shown that Java has always managed to move forward and superseed the former.

You should try using computed propeties, it's the closest/cleanest way to pattern matching until tc39 will pass the pending proposal.
out of curiosity, how does reactive work with synchronicity, shouldn't it be going hand in hand with async?
