This is the DUMBEST idea I've seen in a long time
-
The "trash can computers" were the WTF in the first place, even by Apple standards. Really, what the hell, it doesn't make any sense. They don't look nice, they aren't more functional, it's like they just picked a completely random idea.
Random? It's called profit. They can now gradually every year make components less replaceable.

We don't really need that level of ranting.
YES WE DO
If nothing else it will make him shut up about git and Linux

So much Apple bashing, and not a single Apple fanboy to stick their neck into the meat grinder. I am disappoint.

They don't want to damage their black turtleneck sweaters ;)

dare i hope we might actually have gotten rid of them?
no i don't dare.... because we havent. ;-P

There's no doubt whatsoever that the Apple ][+ was more useful, better documented and far more accessible than any of its competitors.
-
The C-64 is a strong contender there. This thing was remarkably complete:
-
Did it include a complete circuit diagram? The Apple ][+ Reference Manual did.
-
No, but it included a complete map of the ROM, IIRC. I have a copy in my basement but I'm not wearing shoes.
-
The Apple ][+ manual included not only a complete memory map, but an assembler listing of the monitor ROM.

Did it have Playboy centerfolds too? Cripes man.
The C-64 manual included program listings for a bunch of cool sample BASIC programs!
-

Yes it did.
Much better ones than the rubbish in the C64 manual, too.

And U+2054 INVERTED UNDERTIE ⁔ is one as well.
Oh, sorry. I should have gotten my microscope out and looked closer...I thought it was a smiley. Now that I've looked closer, I can see that Chrome rendered it as a boxed question mark.
Does anyone here think that there will ever be a font containing all the glyphs?
-
How good is XCode's git support?
-
Does anyone here think that there will ever be a font containing all the glyphs?
Yes, Until Unicode8 comes along. then rinse and repeat (i expect fonts will catch up fairly quickly to the new Unicode7 glyphs)
-
Assuming there's fonts that have fully caught up with Unicode 6, that is

dunno the name of the one that ChromeOS uses but that one's up to 100% of Unicode6.
at least as far as i can tell.

And obviously creating expensive custom rack-mount hardware was a lot more difficult than, uh, just porting your fucking code to raw OpenGL and running it on Windows or Linux servers at 1/3rd the cost?
What. The. Fuck.
Maybe it wasn't cost, maybe it was delivery deadline?
-

Well, I don't know what Chrome in Windows is using, but it isn't a complete font. Overtie is missing, for example, which is why this chain got perpetuated.
-

Then they probably wouldn't have spent months coming up with custom hardware for mounting, and used one of the pre-made solutions he mentions in the article. Or just plain ol' shelves and quickly leased-up some more data center space.

Well, I don't know what Chrome in Windows is using
one of your wondows default fonts probably
for me on Windows7, not having played with them at all:
i'll grab a pic of my chromebook when i get home from work.
-
Maybe they have really slow coders though, and thus it is still cheaper to wait months for custom hardware?
-
Some of the Xcode tools are okay. The graphics composer is pretty fun to play with. It hooks into all of the graphic APIs, and lets you do stuff like make your own screen savers. Some of the other micro-utilities are nice enough.
The IDE hurts.
-
Well what if 48 purple elephants invade their office and set up a coffee shop?
Look, whatever. I think it's a waste of money. You seem to not think so. I'm not going to answer your series of 890 questions, just walk away disagreeing with me. Ok? Don't waste my time, or yours on the cut-rate interrogation.

Would that be running on Lunux hardware, perchance?
For reference, this is what I have set, and I'm missing plenty of emoji too:

always. it's the best hardware because i never know when it's going to go rouge and try to kill me!
-
go rouge
Well I would hope not.
With a name like Lunux, a deep violet would be a better choice of color.
-
for me on Windows7, not having played with them at all:
I have the same font settings (Times New Roman x2, Arial, and Consolas). None of these fonts have a glyph for U+2054. MicrosoooooOOOOFT!

about a minute.
i was wondering how long it would take someone to comment on that misspelling (which was actually on porpoise if you can believe that!)
-
Yes, I would love to take a swim.
(I was taking my time picking a more colorful name than purple)

fresh out of porpoises. i only had the one. would a dolphin do?

How do you know accalia wasn't... suggesting... that RaceProUK give a different Sonic character a try?

OK, some of the runtime analysers are pretty reasonable for figuring out things where bottlenecks are. (Alas, in my case they just told me what I already knew: that I had to go completely back to the drawing board and do things very differently to before.)
The IDE hurts.
Even just firing up feels annoying. No idea what it's like to use the thing for real, since I abandoned ship back to Emacs and Eclipse as being better development environments.

You can install the fonts @PJH lists here and then add the following CSS (based on @abarker's Chrome CSS) using an extension like Stylebot.
/* Base style */ html { font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Symbola, Wakor, Andgagii, sans-serif; } /* Code blocks */ body code, body pre { font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", Symbola, Wakor, Andgagii, monospace ; } /* Post editor */ body input, body button, body select, body textarea { font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Symbola, Wakor, Andgagii, sans-serif ; } /* Fix for editor buttons being overriden by editor style */ .wmd-button { font-family: FontAwesome; }
This covers every font type I've noticed, but I may have missed some.

Please, please, please, please go get a job at a shop that uses XCode.
Wait, are you trying to get blakey to commit suicide?

That's where the unicode(1) utility comes immensely helpful. Unfortunately Winblows Python builds follow Winblows in not properly supporting surrogates, so it's usefulness is reduced there compared to Linux (Python relies on
wchar_t
being able to store any Unicode character, which on Winblows it does not).
-
Objection!
-
Chrome's missing "Segoe UI Emoji" from the font fallback list, probably "Cambria Math" too. Firefox put it there around five or six versions ago.
-
Can that be set manually?
-
I haven't the slightest idea.
-
With custom CSS, yes.
Natively in the browser? Looks like no (and Safari is in the same boat).
