Here I am with several terminal windows, an IDE, half a dozen web pages, and a file manager open only using 1.7 GiB of RAM wondering what you're smoking...
Ironically, back when MS was going hard on unification, Apple was pushing bespoke skeuomorphic design and telling us everything must be redesigned from scratch with every app.
The lowest common denominator between a phone and desktop is big grids of icon tiles. This is what constitutes a "modern" UI. It's crap. Touch doesn't work like a mouse. The goal of unification infects everything, from scrolling direction, to information density, to emoji support in Unicode. Nothing good comes from unifying two disparate platforms.
I just started using WindowMaker (based on GNUStep, based on NeXTSTEP) again. I immediately felt like I was arriving back in a time when UX was more important than design and it felt wonderful.
One of the additions to artificial neural nets to make them more useful but obstensibly less brain-like was to add error methods to backpropogate to (relatively) remote parts of the network. Does this make real neural nets more like artificial neural nets?
Threading in ANSI C is pretty straightforward. There are inherent complexities in multithreaded code, but those can't be ignored by any language. In the context of what C code looks like, I think the threading interface is about as simple as you can get. Do you have any examples of a simpler model?
If the issue is long term recurring revenue, simply extend gene therapy patents to something like 35 years. By developing the cure, you become the exclusive seller to fix an entire generation of genetic disorders.
The whole gaming industry needs to go through massive a overhaul. The whole model has been straight fucked by mobile and micropayments. Burn it all down, send most every new company out of business, leaving the quality operators like Nintendo and Sega behind.
If I didn't want to act morally, then society would deal with that through systems of crime and punishment with consideration given to their values for liberty.
Plenty of people are getting paid every day to work with open source software. Many of them work with project vendors very closely or provide free labor in the form of pull requests when their employers are directly impacted. Otherwise, why would they contribute? This isn't a hobby or game, this is business. Values have to be aligned. The alternative (proprietary) sets up values at cross purposes (e.g. DRM).

That's not even close to a replacement. When you need to skip back and forth between page 3 of the index, the diagram on page 7 of Chapter 3, and page 24 of the answer summary, tablets and ereaders are pieces of crap. It's not like it's not theoretically possible to solve the issues, but no one (Apple, Google, Amazon, Adobe) seems interested in doing so.
My neighborhood (downtown San Diego neighborhood) built a Safeway. Then Safeway started allowing homeless people to park overnight. Then charities arrived to feed the homeless in the parking lot. Then the homeless from the surrounding area started migrating into the neighborhood, leading to overcrowding. Then a homeless serial killer started going around killing other homeless with gas fires. Then the state banned plastic bags, which the homeless used for cleaning up after taking a shit. Then the hepatities epidemic began, leading to dozens of people dead.
Don't let Safeway into your neighborhood unless you live in a shithole already, cause you will be living in a shithole soon.
And liberals could spend some more time thinking about the consequences of all the strategies they use to deal with their white guilt.
The issue is that those highly profitable items are subsidizing loss leaders like fresh produce. You take away the miscellaneous loss leading profits and food becomes more expensive until the grocery store can no longer compete and disappears, leaving you with cheap toothpaste and shitty food supplies.
So, Europe imposes user protection and they are progressive champions of the people, but India imposes user protection and they are a backwards second world nation who doesn't know how to operate in the global economy, is that it?
Tablets and E-readers suck for this. Flipping physically in a book back and forth from index to glossary to content is way easier and provides tactile reinforcement. Nothing in the digital realm compares.
Not if they're in the U.S. They are subject to all the same regulations which any authorized money changer needs to follow. You don't have FDIC insurance, of course, but that's true of brokerage accounts and the like as well.

Oh really? How do you hover? How's accessibility work?

"Not everything can/should/does need to be done" on a generic unified platform that forces developers to lowest common denominator.
Always funny when Apple discovers Microsoft's strategies from decades past.

Or immutable types works good too.
Wouldn't this just be a proxy for obesity? It's generally much easier for small guys to do more pushups.

They would just force Apple to do it. If Apple wants to sell phones to people in KS, they'd comply.

Setup an autoresponder. Burnout is stupid.
