I think stylistic self-expression is important! While this article focuses on desktop and owned devices, there's been similar sentiment about the web (for example: [1]. Facebook gives everyone's site the same uniform styling, so there isn't much room for stylistic self-expression on the web. Unless you run your own site.

This was one thing I kept in mind on my side project (easily self-hosted private blogs)[2] where I give people freedom to muck with the CSS however they want. We get to do so much more when we own our own content and platforms.

Maybe because ... those developers want to use Linux on hardware they bought and own instead of the built-in operating system? The developers are helping themselves, not Apple.

Apple could save some money by selling bare metal M1's without an OS installed, but then it might get into the hands of people who want a "cheaper Mac but your hacker friend can get it working" and it would damage their brand, so I see why they don't do it.
Not many are writing papers on their iPhone, but many do on iPads. Mouse and keyboard support are good and so are the apps.

It's the "USB audio interface" part of my list. Take multiple inputs, do some processing onboard, send it down a single USB cable to the computer. It will take anywhere from 1 to 4/8/16 XLR/line/instrument inputs, with headphone out and monitoring of inputs. Here's what I use:

https://motu.com/en-us/products/m-series/m2/

It's overkill for online meetings, in that many of its features will go unused. It's a well-built box, though, with better build quality than the (cheaper) Presonus it replaced. If there's just one mic or input, and some headphone output, then something like this would be less expensive (and less to fiddle with):

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UM2usb--behringer-u-...

That's the first single input, inexpensive audio interface I found on Sweetwater; just an example, not a recommendation.

Add to that a cheeeeaaap dynamic mic:

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XM8500--behringer-xm...

Now, for under $100 (surely you have some wired headphone lying around) you'll sound better than 95% of everyone else in online meetings. That's why I have no recommendation or ones to avoid, because for online meetings all it has to do is what it says on the tin to be better than what you've got now, and "good enough" for online meetings. If you're into music, then we can talk about which one is better over another (and frankly, I'm not the one to ask).

yes. Thats why I posted my comment here!
I live in a smallish suburb, and unfortunately, they do not provide street chargers (I'm also signed up for the city's newsletter and there is never discussion about it).

I checked where chargers are located in my area, and it's mostly gas stations and some shop chargers in the more posh suburb a few miles away. None of my local grocery stores have chargers. The posh stores are too expensive for me to shop at continually - I can't/won't afford to shop at whole foods for my normal food... but they have chargers.

Even if they were provided, I (and most others here) don't park on the street - but in the lot attached to my apartment (built in the late 80's). I'm also lucky I don't pay for parking (or rather it's part of my inexpensive rent).
I dunno about Germany, but in the US, I think it’s fair to say customers don’t care about hybrids. They're less than 3% of the market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicles_in_th...

I suspect straight-up EVs are more palatable to average consumers because it’s just conceptually simple. You plug it in. Like a phone.

Whereas a hybrid…well, is it a hybrid, is it a plug-in electric hybrid, wait, I have to plug it in and also fuel it, when does it…can I drive around on just battery…I personally love the Honda Clarity Hybrid†, but trying to explain it conceptually to my partner was a chore.

Also, pure EVs are supposed to be simpler to build and design. They obviously have a huge cost in terms of that battery, but the actual powertrain is way simpler than a gas-electric hybrid system.

†the in-laws live out in the boonies in Ontario, and the lack of charging infrastructure combined with the winter temperatures make plug-in hybrids so attractive for our particular use case—putter around the city on electrons, only use hydrocarbons to see mom
One thing that I realized recently is that if you have a mantra of making "data-driven decisions", then you have raised the cost of making a decision. What you then need is a tool that minimizes the number of decisions you have to make. Gartner, Rails, Spring, each try to do some of that in their own ways.

That's where his 3 weeks of decisions about libraries reveals a real mismatch between React and the enterprise way of doing things. React requires a lot of decision making, and enterprises are bad at making decisions.

Ultimately, the fault is with the enterprise. Sometimes you don't need official data, you just need someone with good taste to make a decision (and if your developers cannot usually "disagree and commit", that's a people problem). Save the data for the big picture stuff.

Processing a credit card costs $0.02 per card, plus interchange of up to 3%. Debit processing is $0.22 cents plus 0.05%. Both of these are the baseline cost, your merchant processor often won't be able to even get these rates for their own wholesale rates.

Now try and build a micropayments ecosystem ontop of this infrastructure that is very expensive to interact with (in the context of $0.01 charges). Amazon can do it for AWS as they aggregate many small charges into one bill, resulting in the service cost not being dwarfed by the payment processing cost.

> But the logical endpoint of the relentless rise in manufacturing costs is that, at some point, one company, in all likelihood TSMC, could be the last advanced fab standing.

Most established, capital-intensive markets are winner-take-all, where a few big players control the bulk of the market. And they usually remain at the top of the market until some fundamental paradigm shift occurs that causes the market to shrink.

TSMC will be top dog for a while, until something happens that causes the market for custom made silicon to collapse. Just like Intel was top dog until something came along to replace the market for x86. Or like Microsoft was King Dingaling until people moved to mobile computing.

> How about making _general_ computing devices more accessible via UI/UX to the _general_ public?

That's pretty much what the iPad is. A general purpose computing device but easier to use and with tighter security than a PC. At some point you end up sacrificing versatility for accessibility to the masses.
I’ve built successful large enterprise apps in React, and would recommend it.

Here’s how we avoided some of his pitfalls:

* Small team of talented developers who didn’t always agree on libraries and methodology, but worked through disagreements to reach a consensus

* Recognizing that libraries would change over a two year project, and being ready for major library migration and refactoring

* Writing our own state management tools when needed. Redux is a tiny library. On a two year project, why not create your own custom state management system from scratch, one which makes the .NET people comfortable and has the features that match your project’s needs? It boggles my mind that many devs consider state management libraries to be something sacred, like a compiler, which you would never consider reimplementing yourself on an enterprise project.
> Let's leave the general computing devices for people who actually need that power, just like the early days.

With that attitude, eventually the impact of economies of scale will end up denying us the ability to afford those devices or to use them how we see fit.
World-first home hydrogen battery stores 3x the energy of a Powerwall 2
I just can't imagine how that would come about. The article cites a goal of “teaching participants how to think without dictating what to think,” but the same sources already spreading misinformation will reject anything that tries. They'll assert that they are dictating what to think. Even if it's "misinformation" by my standards and the standards of an overwhelming number of authorities, they'll insist that they're right and that the "skills" that support me are really just bias.

I suspect any program for "cyber citizenship" that could actually be implemented would end up being so vacuous as to be useless.
States aren't supposed to be districting systems though - they're meant to be independent governing bodies that work under a set of shared constraints for a shared repbublic. The entire point of the Sentate is to give a representation to the need of the state as its own entity - not as a representation to the people in the state. It wasn't even intended to be an elected body.

It may feel unfair, but it's intentional, and it does help ensure overall stability of the nation. The entire philosophy behind the US, right down to the the name of the nation, revolves around the fact that states are the fundamental unit and they have long-term needs which are not always understood or valued by the people. The house of reps is for the the needs of the people, not the Senate. This is why the US is a democratic republic, not a pure democratic state.
In Volvo's case I think it's a matter of platform refresh times. The (brand-new) XC40 Recharge BEV is based on the new "CMA" platform that is designed to be flexible enough to support ICE or PHEV or full BEV configurations.

The S90/V90 are built on a platform that wasn't designed to support BEVs, but given Volvo's commitments I expect the next V90 will be available as a BEV. But the current V90 was released in 2016 so the redesign probably won't arrive til 2024 or so.

My neighbor has a gorgeous [*] new V60 sitting out on his driveway. But that model was just refreshed a couple years ago, so given usual model lifetimes, I figure it'll be five or six years before the next V60 redesign, and that there won't be a true BEV V60 until then.

On the other hand, I hope they don't retire the "Eurowagon" form factor at the same time! I don't like crossovers and SUVs, so I'm hopeful that Volvo and VW Group (Audi, VW, or both) will have compelling electric wagons for sale by mid-decade when I expect to retire my ICEmobile.

[*] Yes, I just described a Volvo wagon as gorgeous, but there it is. What is this world coming to.

> I'm going to assume you aren't trying to be disingenuous.

If you truly make that assumption, why start by casting aspersions on my sincerity?

> First off, the kerosene rockets are going to be replaced with methane ones so that will greatly reduce the carbon output.

Mr. Musk envisions hundreds of flights of methane-powered rockets with immense payload capacity in the thousands of tons. Methane combustion produces CO2. A Starship flight will put more CO2 into the air than a Falcon Heavy flight. Its advantages are likely to be less NOx and less soot.

> Secondly, he has stated many times that once they're flying regularly they'll be creating methane fuel themselves from carbon capture.

This barely exists in a laboratory yet, let alone at the scale needed for retail spaceflight. Ask yourself, where do we get methane these days? Answer: Largely from fracking and as a byproduct to other fossil fuel harvesting/processing.

> Additionally, you have to expel mass to build a rocket. That's a requirement. You can do it with no carbon with hydrogen-oxygen rockets, but hydrogen has a lot of issues with it. Also much as people like to talk about hydrogen being green, the vast majority of all current Hydrogen is from methane steam reforming and has quite the carbon footprint.

Now you're starting to see my point. Someone who is focused only on creating green technologies wouldn't put his solvency on the line to build and grow a fossil-fuel-based space propulsion company. Space flight is critical to the future of mankind, but we have to be clear-eyed about its ramifications and avoid greenwashing it for the benefit of corporations. $100m sounds like a lot of money until you compare it to Mr. Musk's net worth.

Well, according to this random article I didn't fully read and just now searched for to justify the rest of my sentence's unfounded speculation (https://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-case-survey-2014-7?op...), the vast majority of phone users put cases around their phones, so perhaps the opinion is that the bulge is negligible at this point, and the pursuit of thinness is in part to accommodate users with cases.
If your point is that some people confuse frustration with burn-out, I can't really argue with that.

But from someone who has experienced burn-out, it's definitely not something to take lightly. Real burn out kills your curiosity, your capacity to concentrate, to enjoy things. It's close to depression. And like any disease, once it has you in its fangs, it realise how much you miss the life you took for granted before. I know people that have had to abandon a network and a carreer, and that have not recovered three years on.
> So I am not afraid of getting into a debate about why those are unusual patterns for React.

I have seen some developers follow patterns just because they are patterns. Once the community starts doing things one way that's it, even if it is a dumb way, the herd mentality causes the dumb way to become established. Redux is one of those dumb ways.

> Because 30% of the business logic was inside Redux-Saga, I marked it as a high risk.

Business logic should be written in POJO. Plain Old JavaScript Objects. Using a library such as Redux is a dumb way, but this is the community-embraced, herd-mentality way.

> I will not encourage using it for enterprise applications.

Use Web Components. Using the flavor-of-the-month JavaScript libs for a large application that must live years or decades is not justifiable.
I know Alphabet put a lot of money into Loon, but it feels like it got a bunch of positive PR for not delivering. And it's not going to get nearly the same PR for canceling.

How is magically hydrating a DSL extension of HTML any better than using JSX? Arguing about "non-native browser functionality" doesn't make any sense to me, your Angular app doesn't work until it's com-trans-piled into the same HTML/CSS/JS output that JSX produces...

I believe Discourse was planning things but decided to scrap them. The person behind PixelFed (a federated Instagram-like platform) hinted at a [forum platform](https://mastodon.social/@dansup/105425592966902917), but I have no idea if there's any progress on that.

Ah, that makes sense. Most inserts don't split pages, so are around n worst case pages, but once in a while you get 2n updates where most of them are half full, and so compress better.

So how does that compare to logical replication? (Also I imagine packet size plays a role, since you have to flush the stream quite frequently, right? 1000 bytes isn't much more expensive than 431)

Because payments are a hassle.

People resent that the credit card companies take 3%, but it takes more than just 'transfer money from this account to that' but also dealing with fraudulent buyers and sellers.

In the case of you visiting a site and feeling you didn't get 0.005 cents worth of value it is very clear that somebody could perceive it was unfair. In the advertising economy, however, no one party sees the whole transaction so rip-offs can be pervasive and people don't know.
I imagine the "for graphics engineers" version has to get figured out before they can do the "for Dummies" version.
"Typically"? I think 90% of apartment complexes in the US would tell you to pound sand.
And this is why we have things like advertising polluting everything, social media bubbles making everything less social, ISPs that can legally sniff your traffic for advertising, hypercentralized services that can cut you off from services at the drop of a hat, etc. because "this is the beginning" isn't concrete enough.
More than ugly, it would fill up with lint and gunk and prevent closing the laptop, perhaps even damaging the screen if the user applied force.

A documentation on high level architecture of Deskreen available here:

https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen#high-level-architecture-...
Agree completely!

I think the whole ecosystem is insane!

Something that needs 3 or more layers of transpilation...is not right. Typescript to Babylon to JS. Sass to css.

These are workarounds for native JS warts.

That's why Im excited about NATIVE web components and future releases of JavaScript becoming sophisticated enough that we can ignore all of this framework insanity.

Or even better...web assembly somehow taking over and making all of this pointless. Native Typescript. Yes please.

But to address your point, you're locked into JSX a lot more than someone writing in native browser code that doesn't need transpilation and can be ported between other frameworks at the end of the day.
>Most startups have been great for the world. Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple. They've made our world so much better.

This claim about massive corporations making the world better is disputed.
Fair point about the unit costs being drastically lower due to economies of scale. As with any large scale infrastructure, it will certainly be a mix of both local generation and utility scale transmitted power. The real question is where the balance of the two will end up. Either way, distributed generation at scale will be a unique phenomenon that hasn't been seen before, and will certainly result in quite a bit of disruption throughout the industry.
