>iOS 13 drops support for the iPhone 5S, 6 and 6+. These iPhones currently account for 17% of my userbase.

A shame to see. I like my SE and will own one for as long as Apple allows, but designers are already forgetting to account for the 320 screen width. I see it with increasing regularity, in apps and on the web. I'd imagine that this will only accelerate once the SE is the only 4" screen left.

I don't get it! My hands are probably bigger than 95% of all humans, and I don't think a phone needs to be much bigger than the SE.

I believe bigger phones are first computers for a lot of people, and they never graduate to owning a PC.

My first Dell as developer machine is XPS 15 9560 but it is in no way a developer machine: - The thunderbolt dock wire out and laptop USB C are on opposite hands. I have to place my laptop on top of the dock like a giant book resting on a brick.

- Awful coil whine on the power adapter.

- Touchpad is annoying to use when clicking moves the finger resulting in wrong place click.

- Had to replace Killer wifi card with Intel's, Dell's support was top notch here.

- If you don't have nails, opening lid can be an unusual experience, especially when laptop is sitting on top of the dock.

Coming from Thinkpad W530 and miss it but our company switched from Lenovo to Dell

Does it still have that awful coil whine?
scorown · 8 years ago
So glad I am not the only one with that issue on my 9560. I also found out that if I put CPU under stress, the whine goes away. So when I am using the adapter, I run HeavyLoad on 3 cores and that takes whine away, with enough computing power for happy compiling.

Lots of armchair experts here. Ultimately, a hearing aid is much more than just a sound amplifier. Imagine wearing a cheap sound amplification device that gradually increases hearing loss and causing tinnitus.

Anecdotal evidence 2: I live in Canada and make US salary. It's amazing.

Canada is a joke when it comes to software salaries. For the last 10 years, you'll get $110K tops as a senior dev. In 2009(?) I had an offer for $110K. Last year I had an offer for $100K. Haven't made a Canadian dollar since 2007, but figured I'd try.

If anything, Canada should be an offshoring panacea. We are among the best educated, most creative, stable countries in the world and our developers are stupid enough to work for peanuts.
