I absolutely despise cmake. But autotools is even worse, so it’s what I end up using. I haven’t found another approach which handles my needs.

I felt the same when I upgraded my 6 to an XR. But when you actually get your hands on the phone, you quickly notice the improvements. There’s no pressure to upgrade, but when you finally do I think you’ll be happy

This is the mindset I really don’t understand though. Sure your company can say “we’re all remote” today, but they can just as easily say “everyone has to come back” in six months. Or “everyone doesn’t have to, but those who don’t are the first laid off next time”. I’ve been fully remote since March, so I’ve been weighing this for awhile”

> The figures underscore how the pandemic has roiled property markets and changed renter preferences. With companies allowing employees to work from home, people have fled cramped and costly urban areas in droves, seeking extra room in the suburbs or cheaper cities.

I am skeptical. Yes a lot of Bay Area companies are allowing work from home for now, but are people really weighing that so heavily that they’re moving? If we’re blaming the pandemic, maybe it’s that fewer people want to move to the city because they can’t enjoy it (bars, restaurants, etc)

What interests me is how many custom chips they’ll pack in to their processor nice they have total control. Phones continue to have more and more specialized accelerators, and I could see computers following that path.

Apple actually has a rich history of great shareware.

> If it's a good idea now, it's going to be twice as good of an idea in three days.

If I had a crystal ball, six months ago we could’ve picked a good date. But that doesn’t mean I should have shut things down sixth months ago. We’re asking our governments to look ahead and make decisions.

I also think it’s ridiculous for people to want these companies to store up money for a rainy day, while at the same time keeping interest rates incredibly low.
