Right, but if you get a good monitor, it will serve you what, 10 years ? 15 years ?

What do you do with this monitor when Apple stops supporting the first generation of ARM CPUs and you have to upgrade to a new Mac in 4 years ?
I really love esbuild. Its speed is amazingly fast, and my node_modules folder is so clean.

But not being able to transpile to ES5 makes it a hard choice to use in client-facing projects, where IE11 is not totally dead (yet).

Its doable to integrate with swc (another great tool on the list), but now the build chain is longer, and more things to take care (such as sourcemaps).
But why just Ethernet? Why not go further, make the power cord also USB-C (or even Thunderbolt) and have the power brick be a dock with USB and whatnot plugs on it?
OPs quote was full of the usual contentless corp-speak. "We are engaged on the issue...", "committed to looking at options..." and "We continue to identify..." These phrases are a nice, pleasant and important-sounding way of saying "We aren't actually doing anything at all, despite GDPR having been adopted over five years ago."
As a developer who moved from a 16gb Intel MBP to an 8gb Air, I see no difference at all. I think a combination of the nature of the SOC and the massively faster retain/release cycle just make it much less of an issue.

That said, I did straight up run out of RAM the other day, but my editor was chewing up something like 32gb of swap. Still no slowdown, though. (I suspect a memory leak, it's very new software)
No, but you might need a longer power cable.

Hope you don't mind an extension cord and a weird box dangling somewhere! But at least the computer looks sleeker now!

Sigh, seems like I'm old... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/IBook_fl...
I think you've got a bits vs. bytes confusion there. Samsung is only claiming up to 12GB modules. 96Gb(its) = 12GB(ytes). So that'd get you +50% max RAM on the M1's, which would be a nice offering, but still won't be enough to reach the 32GB+ of the outgoing Intel lineup.
The only thing I care about is that it supports 4k at higher refresh rates.
This was also previously called out on HN.

Good points about the RAM and pricing. As far as the simplicity of the design, white bezel, bright colors... I suspect that we'll see a black-bezelled iMac Pro in the next few months that addresses some of those issues, and Apple is trying to differentiate the products with those very design flairs.
I have the 16GB but I push my machine hard and I usually have gigs swapped and I've been absolutely blown away by the performance of my M1 MBP. Was able to step down from a 32GB version without any issue. I'm kinda surprised you're having such a hard time with 8.
They're fast approaching the 95% availability mark for the month! Enterprise customers are already guaranteed 50% return on fees, I suspect they'll be giving out MUCH more than that.
I admit it has been a while since I've been familiar with specific internal AWS bandwidth costs (cost for transfers between AZs, for example), so my apologies if that was too broad of a stroke (I am familiar with AWS pricing "gotchas" where you incur unexpected costs with services). In any case, Cloudflare does not charge for bandwidth with this product. Cloudfront's egress pricing can be found here [1].

Depending on your use case (from an image hosting & CDN perspective), this product is a slam dunk vs rolling your own on AWS.

As someone who owns the M1 MBA, the 8GB unified memory thing isn't working.
It can work for bloggers who only need to have some light tasks open, but once you install and use Docker, you start hitting the swap.

Just in the last ~24 hours, where I used the device for ~16 of those hours, the kernel task has written almost 800GB to disk.

I'm assuming that the storage isn't replaceable, so this raises questions of the longevity of the device due to SSD wear and tear.

The iMac looks beautifully thin though. I would def buy it as a desktop (as someone who has a 64GB Ryzen 9)
Get a real broker. And if you are trading on your phone, you are probably doing it wrong. (Feel free to vote me down).
I found IWYU pretty annoying, due to its tendency to also include transitive includes. Some of those often end up about implementation details and are much more likely to be added/removed. But maybe the projects using it that I worked on were using it wrong?
I'm actually rather disappointed that it isn't using a passive RFID chip and multiple base stations to triangulate item location - that would probably bring the price for the actual tags down to something stupidly cheap.

Just desolder the speaker.
Surprised/disappointed this didn’t also coincide with stuffing the old hardware into a “stick” form factor and calling it an Apple TV Mini.

I want an Apple TV on every TV I own but it’s just too big in some cases.

My thoughts as well, I freaking love my iPad pro and it already is good enough at anything I throw it. I reminds me of the iPhone 6s which I kept for like 5 years, until recently where the scheduled obsolescence forced me to change phone.
Most excellent! Thank you for those sexy examples.
Peak Hacker News. Comparing an iPad Pro with a Pinephone to do something 99.9% of iPad Pro target audience wouldn’t even know the meaning of.
Ugh, yeah - first image down on https://www.apple.com/uk/imac-24/ That's a real shame after they temporarily rowed back on both the touch bar and the full-height left / right arrow keys.
Programming, video editing, graphics design, writing papers, etc... For these applications the iPad Pro has been a disappointment

Apart from maybe graphics design, I don't believe the iPad Pro was ever advertised to do those things (if I'm not mistaken), so I can imagine your disappointment if you expected to do those things on it.
Do they? Nodejs is only backend/builders, so they could be just running javascript on a chrome-like instance, no nodejs involve at first. They probably have the services running on nodejs that poll sensors (or read messages queues) to reduce complexity but not 100% certain.
Is it still possible to integrate Grafana in your product or does the whole thing have to be AGPL. No complaints. Just curious. Like, can I distribute some SaaS that has a Dashboard section that is Grafana-powered while retaining my code?
It’s one form of maximalism. Compare to, say, theverge.com. More visible content = less minimalist. If you watch the youtube video I posted you can see the corollary within interior design: maximalism does not require abundant variation (colors in one example) only abundant visible information. Brutalism is only one form of maximalism. Maximalism varies much more than minimalism.
Awesome. Definitely getting it. My current Apple TV 4K is fine, but the remote is garbage.
Configurations are expensive. If you have 2 RAM configs and 4 storage configs you have 10 different models. This way they only have 5 models.
Yup, exactly. We're actively working on ripping them out of our software, this is ridiculous. I knew we should have taken the time to make a fail safe...sigh...
WP-CLI is great :) https://wp-cli.org/
That's true. It's a great way to signal to outside investors that you're really planning to get stuff done, but haven't got any "boots on the ground", so to speak.
My read: Apple has a disconnect between their product refreshes and the internal development on their M1 SoCs. They knew they weren't going to tackle Thunderbolt for the first gen of the M1 macbooks, but now the internal development has caught up enough and they're in a position where they have to refresh the iPad. So, of course, they put the new SoC into the refresh.

Is thunderbolt relevant to the iPad? Their video really tried to sell it, I don't really buy it. It's not like, "Oh, I would have used Photoshop on the iPad, but the transfer speeds are too slow so I guess I'll get something else." That's not to say that it isn't welcome, just that it's not a big deal for this particular product.

The MacBooks and the new iMacs on the other hand, yeah -- thunderbolt is a huge deal over there. Apple's 2nd gen ARM laptops should scare the hell out of all their competition.
From Wikipedia:

"On January 24, 2006, Jobs and Iger announced that Disney had agreed to purchase Pixar... When the deal closed, Jobs became The Walt Disney Company's largest single shareholder with approximately seven percent of the company's stock."

I assume that is the primary reason Apple and Disney were close in the Jobs days.

>Multitasking is cumbrous enough that it might as well not exist

iPad OS desperately needs a persistent dock or taskbar, like we see on macOS and Windows. The gesture system is too cumbersome to be effective.
"Pro" used to mean "professional" for Apple. Now it just means "expensive".
That sure takes a positive view of light pollution! I have never seen a "brilliant night sky" in my life and I don't live in a city. Maybe it's 95% if you count the sea but in the west it is more like 5% max.
You could make an argument that such a box constitutes a dongle, but I don't think it's in the same spirit. In case you didn't catch it: the ethernet port is placed on the power brick rather than directly on the device. I am pretty sure this is purely because they couldn't fit the port in the device itself, but I like the idea.

A desktop monitor will always need a power cord, and all my monitors also have external power bricks already. In this hypothetical scenario I would just want them to take the ports that are normally on the monitor and move them to the other end of the power cord.

Some high-end TVs also have this feature so you don't need to run as many wires to your potentially wall-mounted TV.

Here is a github page for an Emacs package manager: https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el

That is a bit misleading: a lot of Xbox One wireless controllers work with Bluetooth, it seems Microsoft switched this during the production run. I have one at home for use with my PC, I don't own an Xbox, and it works without any receiver. My old 360 controller needs the wireless receiver though, that is the old protocol (or maybe not the same protocol? Not sure...)
Well, this is supposed to be a professional desktop machine.

No, it's not. It's a consumer-grade machine. And clearly aimed at that market.
It has a technological advantage - Elixir.
Non apple users who aren't hard of hearing, that is.
What they do makes sense from a risk point of view. Trackers are various shapes, sizes and can be mounted different ways, if they miss one they blow their operation. Easier to delay payoff by 2 weeks.

The difference between the GPS and these tags is they actively respond to bluetooth. If you can sniff the bluetooth traffic then you would be able to detect them easily?
Do you have a link to that previous post-mortem?

TBH Tesla should be doing more about this, it's too easy.

It’s for both.
I assumed they wanted to buy the userbase. And use it to promote XBox and Game Pass.

I can see why Discord backed off if their vision is to have a broader audience of non-gamers. Joining Microsoft would have meant they'd be stuck in their pigeonhole.
My mistake, regardless, Apache2.0 is GPL3 compat.
They've thought about this use case and actually tried to do something about it:

"iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time."
Brew, CocoaPods, who else is carrying Apple's water? It seems to me that Apple never sold a Unix-like dev machine, they provided hardware and a kernel for others to do so for free.
The Intelligence is available as a regular old podcast feed too - all Economist podcasts are.
Updates through the store isn't a bad idea.

Each program creating it's registry keys and auto-update daemon at startup isn't a great experience.
Wait, does the text of the blurb cost $1000-2000/mo? If so, does GoodReads pay that? Because they have the back blurb of every book, don't they?

If it's the specific image of the back of the book, I don't actually see that being make-or-break for anyone. You can put the blurb that's styled vaguely like the back of a book if it makes people read it more.
iPad for sure! I went with the mini for my parents.
Yes, but the smaller M1 devices have been out for a while ago, and the iMac is the de facto Apple workstation. I don't think it's too unreasonable to expect some iterative improvement 5 months later.

It seems like a half-baked release and a downgrade in some respects from an iMac 27". Maybe that is intentional though?
My username and favorite aliases were taken.

Discord allows anyone to share the same username. It appends a nearly invisible hash to disambiguate, and you can even change it.

Discord does usernames right.
If you're not going to do anything where performance matters why pay a premium for it?
You can already purchase a huge range of items that do exactly what an airtag does. Everyone is already fair game for this type of stalking, it is silly to try and paint apple in a bad light here.
In a previous life I worked in secured government spaces where personal devices weren't allowed at all, full stop, and the internet was also restricted to prevent access to most web streaming services.

If I wanted to listen to music while coding, I found a workaround by owning a Shuffle and getting approval for it. The Shuffle doesn't have a USB port and doesn't connect to WiFi or Bluetooth, so it met all the criteria for an exemption.

It's weird having lived in such a strict cross-section of users to need these specific criteria met. Even the OP lists several options that all would fail to meet these restrictions.
We're talking at cross-purposes. I don't really have much of an argument with what you're saying, but again, the idea of the post is that it's better if you can find a way not to do that at all. It's hard, and can take years, but it can be done.
Are you out of your mind? It's the sexiest yet! Animated illustration, short description right at the top, news section, clearly delineated sections, update for current users... this is a model of clarity. Thank you for being a role model.
For me a touch screen as a remote is even worse than the terrible Apple TV remote. I like being able to pick it up and use it without looking at it (and without lighting up the dark room if we’re watching a movie or something).
They will likewise also not care about the increased computational power here.
I do think it couldn't have happened without Apple doing it first from the big manufacturers.

Apple had (and still have) the status and prestige to do anything and make that a standard. If Huawei/Samsung/etc didn't include chargers, didn't use USB or USB C, changed from 3.5 to some proprietary audio jack first, they would have been ridiculed.

But once Apple changed these things (except luckily the USB), these companies could point out that "Apple does this, so it must be an acceptable idea".

The most annoying thing about this is that they are trying to spin these changes as innovation or something for the environment.
i think tablets have their place, but i find that as a tablet interface, windows 10 seems morbidly overweight. Android otoh is too lightweight imho. i think a 2 in 1 might be an ideal compromise. meanwhile ms is trying to push a succession of thinly-veiled tablets, which i don't understand. Windows is a desktop OS, why promote it on the environment it's least comfortable with?

Anyway, just working my way through a stomachache...
I highly recommend you not use node-lru-cache: https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache/issues/63 (as you can see from the last comment on that bug, these truly bizarre performance characteristics were not solved, and I would recommend drop-in replacing the fast-lru library we use).
Yeah, it's really awful. Many podcasts I choose to listen to because the hosts have soothing voices and there isn't any annoying yelling, but when Spotify inserts the ads in there, it absolutely ruins the experience since the ads are so jarring when compared to the podcast itself.

> Any trackers will be quickly rendered useless once they're in the van

You can build a custom LoRa based tracker with 100+km range (line of sight), a van won't disable that. You'll have to use signal triangulation, though, because GPS reception in a van won't be great.
On the iPhone app their charts look like this retrowave sci-fi garbage, with no axis labels or meaningful markings

How long is that, though? I wish Apple spoke in absolutes when discussing technical details. Some people shut their phone off to golf or do some other outdoor activity, like hiking. Some rounds take close to 6 hours on public courses depending on pace of play. Imagine your friend is trying to putt then your air tagged golf bag starts going off on the 18th green.
Some Tile models don't have replaceable batteries either.

There's a tradeoff in form factor
This is a good question. I wonder what the period of time is required before it notifies you about potential stalking. If it is more time than would typically take for someone to realize that the item is stolen, then perhaps it’s not such a big deal. But if it’s only 30 minutes or so, a thief could be notified that they’ve stolen a bicycle that’s being tracked before you come out of the grocery store, movie theater, etc.

A related question: can you geofence an airtag so that you are notified if an item leaves an area without you? This could be especially helpful for things like bikes that you would park for long periods of time and would want to know if they’re being moved by someone other than you.
Coming from the other direction, the whole point of keeping them as contractors is that it reduces costs. Therefore, converting them by definition means increased costs.

Seems that they're running the same gambit Microsoft did years ago. Microsoft did not win that court case, and that set precedent that other companies are now trying to stay clear of.
From the grandparent comment:

> I have never been happier with a laptop than this first generation M1 MBP.

I always skip the first generation of any Apple product. The M1 adoption cycle was infested with hype and was somewhat a hacky process, especially for the developer software ecosystem, and it is still immature, un-optimised and still not ready. You still can't even use two monitors on the M1 Macbook Air simultaneously which I can already do on my older Macbook.

The M2 / M3 enabled Mac would be a more worthy upgrade, depending whether or not if they have addressed these issues rather than getting last years model.

From the parent comment:

> I'm a total fanatic. I'll be dumping all my money into this new gear on April 30th.

I hope this is a joke right? Since I would rather dump that money on some cryptocurrency on April 30th, than dump it all on another beautiful expensive downgrade. At least wait until WWDC.

To Downvoters: Given one already has a Macbook, I am in no rush to purchase either last years model or to purchase another shiny new one; especially if it is a first gen M1.

The fanatics will say the same thing in WWDC and in September when they realise their 1st gen transition technology is already replaced. By then the software ecosystem for M1 is hopefully optimised and somewhat stabilised. Plenty of time to wait.
I can think of one use case where it could be nice - content creators.

For example I like to noodle on guitar and frankly guitar interface + iPad > laptop.

Likewise for video editing, photo touchups, etc.

I can see iPad for creatives using more processing power

Good. If Amazon wants to continue its creep of using open source software to build their empire they need to support the companies that make open source software.

Do you think we will be able to install Win10 at some point? (a la Bootcamp, mainly to play some Steam games). Did Apple comment on this?
Not the parent poster, but I'll tell you some of the pain points I've experienced:

* Async operations destroy stack information.

* It's very easy for someone to miss an error handler and end up with your process in an ugly state.

* Default error handling is "crash the process", no matter what else is going on.

* Lots of libraries that rely on buggy native code.
