@KronoS yeah, but there's no real innovation since the iPhone... when was the last time they announced something completely new that wasn't just a clone of something a competitor was already doing?

KronoS

@NathanWheeler The new Mac Pro is pretty innovative actually

but looks to be more of a pain in the butt that looks super nice, than something worth getting

(mainly due to it not being able to be upgradable, IIRC)

Nathan Wheeler

I haven't heard anything about it that isn't just kind of a "next logical step" in making a faster computer

KronoS

@NathanWheeler Have you seen the design? Very very different

Nathan Wheeler

16:00

it's smaller, because Apple keeps wanting to make things smaller and thinner... I LIKED my old 17" MacBook that was 1" thick

KronoS

Q: How do I create a class with constant properties accessible to other classes within a package folder structure?

I have the following file structure of packages for my MatLab project: RootFolder +CustomUiElements Styles.m ... ... +DetailView Controller.m ... MainApp.m Within the Controller.m file I'm having issues accessing the class file Styles.m which is ...

Grrr... this is really bugging me

Nathan Wheeler

errr... you're talking about the desktop

yeah, case mods have been making weird shaped computers for years

KronoS

@NathanWheeler yep :)

apple.com/mac-pro

Nathan Wheeler

there's not anything really "innovative" about it... they just shaped it different

KronoS

Well what's your definition of "innovative" then?

something completely new?

cuz in that case it's hard to be innovative these days. I'm not the biggest fan of apple, but I do like their attention to detail. I just don't like how cocky they are

Nathan Wheeler

16:10

innovative... Google completely re-did maps, making it relevant to the user rather than just a grid of places

Google Glass

those are innovative... and I agree that it's hard to be innovative, but "faster and new look" don't qualify

Google Music/Apple Music... not innovative

and Apple's statement about the new Mac Pro, "Can’t innovate any more, my ***.” they made it faster and round... I could do that with any computer... (except a laptop)

putting a computer in a fishtank... now THAT was innovative and different (about 5 years ago)

KronoS

I can see your point, but don't completely agree. Again, I'm not a huge apple, google, or Microsoft fan. They all have issues that I really hate, and they also have great things that I really like.

I just wish I could mesh them all together

1 hour later…

yeah, apple does good with hardware, google does great with software, and microsoft does great marketing... they'd make a great team :)

I know, I'm cynical...

Charlie Brown

18:34

Nice Cynicism is a form of humor kind of..I guess

Just don't go into the philosophy room with any humor or wit, they wouldn't get it if it slapped them in the face. I saw Fake programmers and thought well this could be a chat room where they would understand.

Nathan Wheeler

18:47

there's a philosophy room???

how did I miss that

Charlie Brown

You are not missing much unless you like classically trained morons.

just don't throw out a joke in that room....they obviously have no clue who Alan Watts is....they got stuck at Kuhn

thanks for being my shoulder to cry on. Enjoy your day!
