A lot of people combine free speech with anti-discrimination. Speech get attached to identity and from there a ban becomes discrimination.

Three people walk into a Hotel. A priest, a advocate for the left, and a advocate for the right. Each three talks about the groups they define as "us", and how bad those "others" are. Can the hotel owner deny hosting and ban one of them based on the identity and vies of the person?

A lot of professionals not in those categories will probably also be interested in it. I think it's disingenuous to pretend it doesn't matter as only people buying $50k monitors are interested.

I could see a lot of designers buying this screen at this price point, that normally have $1-2k screens. Then that $1k stand is atrocious.
I block third-party Javascript quite aggressively (for fear of malware). I am much less strict for first-party JS. If this becomes the norm I'd block first-party just like third-party.

As well, obviously the owner of the website becomes directly responsible for malware served through an ad network.

Finally, advertisers prefer third-party to fight ad fraud (by the site owner).

2019’s Essential Social Media Marketing Tools – According to 123 Experts
Because many libraries (including stdlib) return basic errors which you can do nothing else with.

I think that's the main problem with this design - you're reliant on others to produce errors you can reliably check against, and every library could potentially have its own error types (similar to the problems with a proliferation of exception types in languages using exceptions). When using your own libraries it is not a huge problem - as you say you can start using a more complex type.

Not sure what the answer is, but the error interface which only allows returning a string is partly to blame IMO.
> This monitor is competing against $25k+ reference displays. And the price is very competitive.

No it isn't. That's just the framing. Yes, reference monitors are expensive. It's not a reference monitor. A reference monitor is a very specialized piece of equipment that fits into infrastructure that you may find at a broadcasting studio:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_reference_monitor#Fe...

It's not necessarily the panel itself that makes them so pricey (though OLED vs. LCD does make a difference). Rather, it's the fact that they're niche products.

But how many people are those? 1,000 worldwide? 10,000? I am sure it is a tiny fraction of the entire audience of maybe a fifty million people who hear about it. So they should do it in a separate event or direct market it to those studios, but the news didn't fit the audience.
Those mind games are very useful for candidates as well because, after reading that article, I have no desire at all to work for any of these companies.

If you are not a professional user how can you interpret the "specs".

You're not seriously saying that you can compare two products that you have no clue about simply by comparing random numbers and picking which is the highest.

It's the equivalent of picking a camera based purely off megapixels whilst ignoring dynamic range, sensor size, lens quality, in camera processing etc.
You could have a look at Standard Notes. It has a self-hosted version, Markdown support through a plugin, end to end encryption, and it syncs across devices. I use the "regular" service that syncs over their servers, but the self-hosted version should work, too.

Jesus, that image is super cringey.

That being said, the problem is that even if another vendor could produce hardware that’s on par with Apple, but at a reasonable price, they would still lack the OS. Windows is still doing 1 hour updates on reboot, and is filled with telemetry spyware... Linux still requires a lot of hacking, often has audio and trackpad issues, etc.

Right now macOS is the only sensible operating system for creative pros. Period.
I don't think I'm going to buy one but here is a thing: Is it made of Aluminum or other expansive metal?

I bought a desk with Aluminum legs. The legs were empty from the inside. The desk was already expensive comparing to the standard model (It was custom made, I asked for the Alu legs). I asked the manufacturing guy why the legs were not full and he laughed. He said the price will be astronomical if they were full and that the metal is very expensive.

I forgot the price but it was definitively over $1,000. The non-Alu version was less than half.

So depending on the metal and heaviness of the stand, Apple might not be overcharging on this one.

I also agree. This was one of the best WWDC’s in recent history. No matter what Apple does, it’s a lose-lose situation. HN was complaining for ages about how the 2014 Mac Pro sucked. Now that Apple has hit it out of the park, HN is still complaining about pricing. We’ve seen this since the introduction of iPhone. People said it sucked and it went ahead and changed the world. $499 for a phone!!!!! Are you kidding me?

It’s disappointing that HN continues to complain, often without basis. It’s a ritual. A positive comment has to, has to be combated with an opposing view even if it isn’t justified.

This Mac Pro is amazing in my view. Design, aesthetics, features, thermal design, engineering, EVERYTHING.

But, fuck Apple. The monitor didn’t have a 120hz refresh rate. I’m disappointed. Everyone is doing it, even Asus. How can Apple ignore our needs! For $5000!!!? Are you kidding me?

Sigh.

I also use Bear and really like it, but I don't think the fact that something already has a huge following around it should be an argument. By that rationale we'd never switch to anything new.
If you have a command that doesn't print a new line, the prompt normally ends up on the same line as the output of the last command. iTerm can "fix" this.

> Everyone is doing DevOps, and no one is doing DevOps.

I agree with this. Most times I've been interviewing for "devops" roles what the employer was looking for was, actually, a sysadmin to babysit the devleopers (in terms of being a "dedicate resource").
The Soviet armies bled the German armies white, but that does not take away from the accomplishments of D-Day.

In the closing days of WW II, many Germans fled to the US/UK side to escape the terror inflicted by the Soviet armies.

In 1984, the Soviet propaganda machine was in full swing, and the Soviets still occupied a big chunk of Europe. They were making threats with short range nuclear missiles and a 20 to 1 tank advantage. It looked like WW III was about to break out, but the Soviets would be out of power within 10 years.
Sure, it’s not a hard engineering challenge. However, installation instructions right now are as simple as “run this one-liner on your terminal”. That’ll have to materially change.
> If Apple had said “This is a $6k monitor” and then during configuration time provided a stand-less option for $1k less, then we wouldn’t see any of these dumb articles.

Yes we would! People aren't too dumb to do the math.

If they simply made it a $6k screen, always with the stand, then that's something that would change perception. It would mean slightly less excitement. Probably not much less. But critically, it wouldn't be insulting.

Irssi's default color scheme which, incidentally, is the same as Mutt's default. Both can be changed. For example, to a solarized color scheme.
Can you clarify what makes it not a reference monitor ?

Because a reference monitor is surely not defined based on it being niche or whether you find it in a studio or not.

Because iTerm2 is an excellent Mac app? I don't understand your aversion to favoring one tool over another: macOS itself is a tool that I prefer to use over Linux because it's nicer, just as iTerm2 is nicer than Alacritty.
Visual Studio Code does this.
> This is everything that is wrong with journalism today.

What? It's not manufactured hate by journalists. Minutes after the presentation Twitter, reddit etc buzzed with this. So they only report on what people are reacting to.

If the article and reactions are dumb because Apple could have spun this as a $6k monitor, then that's Apple's fault.

If I may make a suggestion: I develop Joplin [0] a similar note-taking app, and it can sync with Nextcloud or WebDAV (some have made it works with the Nginx WebDAV module for instance), allowing you to control all your data.

I've been using Typora which is a similar or even a better tool and it's free for now. I hope typora doesn't go the subscription/saas route. Everything is a subscription these days and you probably would be better off going with a different revenue model since the competition is heavy in the note taking market.
>Once when I landed in Narita Tokyo an attendant was waiting for me outside the airplane, holding a sign with my name on. She told me that my suitcase had gone to the wrong airport

This happened to me when I went trekking in Borneo - someone approached me and told me my bag had got lost and that it'd be sent to my hotel when it arrived.

It arrived in the lobby the next day while I was out - there wasn't even a system for me to have to go through. I barely remember because it was barely an incident, only that it was a refreshing experience.
Running a project for three years alone on the side takes a lot of discipline. So often we become 'passionate' about some projects and quickly abandon them once the initial excitement wears off. Congratulations to the author!

I am not sure that 2K 16:10 30" is the sweet spot for users. Five years ago before 4K worked properly then yes, but not now.

4K on 31" works great, plenty of vertical resolution for code plus the pixels are not too small. Anything larger and you will be getting neck ache peering up/down the screen. Or you would have to push the monitor further away than what a regular desk affords, adjusting font sizes accordingly, going into painful letter box territory.

I promise you won't look back if you go 4K on 31", there is no need for a dual monitor setup unless you are editing movies!

While I might disagree with the choices it makes, Homebrew is almost certainly significantly more popular than MacPorts.
Yes, I know that, and am doing it, too, on my sites. Still, squeezing everything into a single HTML page, then applying CSS (and JS) fu to arbitrarily rearrange, add and drop content doesn't seem rational when website design processes draw upfront desktop, mobile, etc. breakpoints and sketches. Rather, CSS complexity seems a manifestation of organizational boundaries (eg. W3C specifying CSS and WHATWG specifying HTML) to me. Or even a post facto rationalization of the road not taken with HTML. Eg. almost all responsive designs used today can be achieved much more easily using adaptive techniques where there is a device/breakpoint-specific page layout for desktop, mobile, and maybe tablet, resp., with the page template documents pulling in content wherever it fits. It's just that HTML lacks mechanisms for page composition such as SGML's and XML's entity references. Arguably, responsive grids are not only more complex than needed, they're also inefficient wrt. network utilization, as every device has to receive every bit of content, just to hide it away when it doesn't fit the layout. Of course, large sites use JavaScript and visibility events to pull content on-demand anyway.

I'm not pissing on W3C's (fantasai et al) work here. CSS is very much a work in progress as we all discover new UI idioms for digital media, and I'm a sucker for it. I just think CSS grids and flexbox is bordering on intellectual brain wankery, when the solution could be achieved much, much simpler, and in a way that doesn't send newbies into a world of cluelessness, doesn't question our ability to consume our own digital media in the future due to over-complexity, and retains the qualities of the web as a medium for simple self-publishing even for a layman.
> Sure, it’s not a hard engineering challenge. However, installation instructions right now are as simple as “run this one-liner on your terminal”. That’ll have to materially change.

It could just as well still remain a one-liner. Every system Homebrew is installed on has Bash installed (not the latest, but still).

Instead of

> /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/in...

It could become

> curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/in... | bash

With the install script containing a payload containing the current Ruby script plus a Ruby interpreter. Still a "one liner".
Or a $100 Chinese clone stand.
If a developer cannot use these tools themselves they wont know them, in turn they wont promote them to others, they wont propose them to companies, the companies wont need them and they wont seek developers with knowledge of those tools and as a result knowledge of those tools wont be "tasty" to many companies.

The only way to break this dependency loop is to convince non-developers (executives, etc) to use those tools but at that point the incentive shifts from making those tools good for use by developers to making those tools good in convincing non-developers to buy them.

The only "big buys club" i see working on here is one of people who couldn't learn something else.

You should already have seen this with Turbo Pascal and Delphi and how these products moved from cheap $50-$100 products even students could afford and focused providing a simple yet comprehensive package to grossly priced overbloated, hype-driven, bullet-point executive-presentation-friendly monsters with tons of bugs and an over-reliance on bundling 3rd party components. And how this sort of move made their products instead of being widely known and loved by developers to become relics that only stay alive because their owners are preying on those who at the past chose them (because they were good at the time) and cannot move off.
Slow in the sense of “idea->Search for app->Open app->new note->type on screen” vs “idea->alt tab to terminal->type on keyboard.”

It’s probably only 2 seconds vs 1 second. Not a huge time amount.
“Writing of all sorts is currently under enormous financial pressure.”

I know I could do more, but this is one of the reasons that I subscribe to both our local newspaper and one of the two large nation-wide newspapers in my country. If the local journos don’t get paid, there will be no one keeping an eye on what happens in municipal council. When I start working full-time again I will strongly consider subscribing to more publications, perhaps the other nation-wide newspaper.

[Slightly edited]
Yes sure. Sorry, this is quite a stretch from the topic because Delphi hardly allows logic to be written visually in contrast to the other tools mentioned. But you can 'click' together your whole UI. It is very intuitive where to find the most important handlers (onClick for buttons, onSelect for list...), you double-click, a piece of code gets generated and your cursor lands within the generated stub code for that.

Also you have a good browser for objects. Actually one time I was playing with some Direct3D plugin, that was really easy to get started with and to move something around (in the 90s!).

Not knowing anything about maintainability or how to approach problems, this was really fun to work with. I think the Microsoft Visual Basic might resemble these things to some degree, but I never tried it. Also Object Pascal is a more powerful and concise language in comparison.

Oh and I didn't mention the fabulous documentation. They really did their homework, once you built the help search index you could search for each available library function. Really cool stuff actually. I've tried other IDEs like Borland C++ Builder, KDevelop and the QT Designer, NetBeans, Eclipse but they didn't even come close to that. After a friend strongly recommended me to work with editors I completely lost interest in IDEs actually. (Nowadays I'd use some React boilerplate to quickly assemble a UI, but that was quite some work and practice ;))
> Is it made of Aluminum or other expansive metal?

There are few metals as cheap as aluminium, actually I cannot think of any except iron.

Bulk aluminium costs less than $1/pound.

Of course if the legs were not hollow, they might be rather heavy (even though aluminium is quite a light metal)
Couldn't agree more on 2 and 3. What is even more unacceptable to me is that these ad networks track everything I do on the web. It is one thing that I see an ad for a laptop when I search for Chromebook (I'll call it contextual for ease) but totally different thing that I see ads for say Professional training when searching for Chromebook because I happened to click on a post on LinkedIn long ago. Other words, I don't like companies having a profile on me which they can use however the way they want at a later date.

if Tesla said about a car "this one can compete straight in a nascar race, stock" and really seemed to mean it and kept repeating it, then absolutely it would be a fair question whether it is literally true. Because it's such an unusual claim.

There is tons of accountability. That is why you have the delivery managers, the lengthy handovers, checklists and slow processes. So nothing goes wrong and those that are accountable can be cleared from any blame.
This is kind of what I do. But I would like a better way to sync Notes. It’s nice to go back through every once in a while to transfer to something more permanent but that takes work and messes up the date stamps for figuring out log and timeline.
Arguments like this are basically a huge "fuck you" to anybody with internationalisation and accessibility needs.

Yes, if all you care about are able-bodied Western users consuming content on standard devices, then you can get away with just baking your style / layout into the markup like your someone hacking away back in the 90s. The moment you need to move beyond that, you'll start to introduce methods for abstracting style and layout that, eventually, will lead you to reinventing something pretty similar to CSS.
Are they "put there" or are they just passionate about the company they work for and haven't seen these products as they're in different departments?

> not requiring root permissions is a feature

Not requiring root to install software to system directories is a security bug, not a feature. In a practical sense Homebrew elevates you to root and in the process messes up the permissions of a /usr/local, which, being on $PATH, opens users up to vulnerabilities.
For kids sometimes the situation may seem hopeless. But the thing is, once they grow up, they gain more opportunities to escape their harmful environment. So often kids are especially mistaken about the hopelessness. They won't be dependent on parents and forced to go to school with abusive people forever.

The other aspects, about issues of the system, are of course also valid.
TBH it's weird they haven't built their own
Yeah probably. Still this is something I think of, also wondering whether eventually programming might become commoditized by new tools. So the question was already asked by other commenters, maybe there's an argument on can make why this won't work.

Yes, I do. :)
So you're saying we should look at it proportionally? Because that still makes it look terrible. Nobody else makes their stand cost 20% as much as the screen.
I wonder how many people complaining about the price of the stand, is even considering buying the monitor. My point is, why to complain about something I'm not going to buy anyway.
