I also had issues with the kde5 packages when moving to FreeBSD 13. But reinstalling the packages fixed everything with all my settings intact. Was a 5 minute job. Works great now.

I guess having an OS worth very few maintainers compared to Linux, Windows or Mac leads to this kind of thing. But I still love it. Also, all the kde maintainers are active in #kde-freebsd on freenode so you can get quick and super knowledgeable help there. Advantage of small teams is that there's no 'just raise a ticket and we may look at it some day' mentality.

When I moved to it I had two minor issues. For one they gave me a small config change that fixed it. The other was a bug in a FreeBSD specific script and was fixed and moved to the live repo in 3 days. This was the kind of thing that would normally linger in an issue ticket for months or years. I was really impressed with how much they cared about these things. Thanks guys!
This is the issue I have with macs being the “go to dev machine.” People forget there are entire lines of devices with touch screens…

Not saying this is what was happening here, or that y’all didn’t think of it; just a general observation I’ve noticed over the years.
> When Steve Jobs passed in 2011 I was certain that Apple would lose its way and start diluting their products/brand. To the contrary the last 10 years where an absolute tour the force in expansion of the spirit of Apple.

Under Jobs, they would regularly create whole new categories and concepts of technology and revolutionize others. I don't recall it happening since; they capitalize on everything that was created under Jobs (and do it well).
That just made an idea click about Excel's incredible popularity. We all talk about how it's a horrible tool for building apps and databases in... but usually the spreadsheet is build by an expert in the business domain. Sure, maybe the SKUs are randomly interpreted as text half the time... but at least it has all the columns you need, in the proper order for efficient entry and sorting.

Maybe a crappy, buggy app built by a business domain expert is _better_ than a wonderfully architected app built by a developer that doesn't understand the business process.
I find this train of thought fascinating.

"I am in the 0.0001% of the people that need 100+Gb ram", so it seems this massive hit of a cpu/laptop, where everyone is raving about it, is not so good when I compare it to what I need that are thousands of a percent of what regular people use.

I'm a developer, I bought the M1 mbp with 8 (yes eight) gb of ram, for testing and was supposed to then be my gf's machine. You know what, almost 6 months in, she still hasn't touched it. I would maybe go for 16gb in the next one, but she will pry it from my cold dead hands before I get a newer model and she can keep this one.
But then having a nominal capacity of 8000kW from the 20mt system, you’d need maybe 1200 tonnes of the 20mt systems.

I’m not sure how that’s better or simpler. Sounds vastly more complex and expensive.

Covid had a lot more to do with it. Mac is at an all time high yes but the last iteration of Intel MBPs was only slightly different from what we had while Ive was still around, and Mac is still a relative small % of overall revenue which has increased a lot.

I don’t really get the Jony Ive hate. The only particularly bad thing I can think of him being involved in was the butterfly keyboard, and the fact that the Apple Watch is the only real success among smart watches more than makes up for that.

The good: the interface is very slick, nice work, you obviously put a lot of work into this tool.

The bad: I was immediately turned off that I was presented with an up-sell to premium on the very first on-boarding step and it was for a color theme... Not only that, but I couldn't find any information on what the pricing was until significantly further into using the tool, another major turn off.

The ugly: Not being transparent about premium up front feels deceptive and makes me very weary of giving you any of my data.
Please stick to the guidelines, including the last one.

I moved to Tennessee recently, and we have municipal broadband from EPB. On the one hand, it's offered at a fair price ($68/month for a symmetric gigabit connection). On the other hand, they have been promising IPv6 support for years but have completely failed to deliver. Unfortunately the sales people are every bit as non-technical at EPB as they are anywhere else, and they don't seem to understand the issue at all.

Does anyone else have the same experience, or is just EPB in particular that's bad on offering IPv6?

Obviously, I still prefer EPB's service over that of Comcast, AT&T or Cox. I'm not complaining about municipal broadband in general. (I would like to see a NAT-free internet in my lifetime, that's all.)

https://postmarkapp.com/ warned us a 0.1% complaint rate. A stern warning. "For transactional email spam complaints should not exceed 10 complaints in 10,000 emails sent and we're seeing much higher in your activity. This is an expectation that many ISPs have set, which we work very hard to uphold. "

We now use their API to forward any complaint to us to doublecheck, we became paranoid to keep the number lower.

We're very happy with postmarkapp.

Somebody was using random IPs, but real email addresses to signup. We don't know why, it never led to pageviews later. Maybe it was an attempt to check which user (email address) clicks the link in the confirmation email of a service they haven't signed up for. I can understand if such users click 'this is spam' which then gets reported back by the big email providers to postmarkapp.

Huh? If anything, everybody and their dog were yelling at Apple against the non-flat "skeuomorphic" UI at the time they made the switch.

And while the first version was undercooked, the current (and 2-3 years) iteration of the flat UI is just fine...

If your website is just content, it should work fine with printers, screen readers, and readability tools (Pocket, browser's reader mode). It's usually fairly trivial.

There are many reasons why your readers might want read your content in another app, or on paper. I use readability tools to read bright websites at night, and to avoid dealing with poorly readable websites. I also use Pocket to read long bits of text without losing my position. I take printed pages in the kitchen and in the garage. I sometimes print my own content to review it in the train or in a scenic spot. Paper is great for distraction-free work.

In the same vein, you should test on older devices, shittier screens and slower internet connections. Many people have shitty laptops, or browse the internet in underground public transit.

I doubt that this played a role here. Apple traded more or less flat over the quarter. If there were whisper numbers of even better results than what turned out to be a massively successful quarter, one should have seen the stock price go up significantly over the quarter.

Not quite. It bans new government-run broadband everywhere regardless of whether or not there would be private competition in the area. In areas that already have government-run broadband, it allows that to continue as long as that area does not have more than one private provider.

Tell HN: PSA about Setapp
I've noticed recently that doing certain actions on my computer triggers notifications from setapp, suggesting potentials apps that I should use:

- Use postman => Suggesting paw

- Copy/pasting something => Suggestion of a clipboard manager

Checking the app preferences it seems that there is an option to "Enable smart suggestions" that is enabled by default.

I find this to be an unwanted behavior, I'm not sure what they collect to enable these suggestions, I thought other people might want to know about it as well.

They're also better for the environment: less materials to assemble, less packaging, less fuel to ship, less waste. At Apple's scale, that really adds up.
To what extent does that go? Why don't they ask:

"Oh yeah, you have a body, right? I forgot to ask"

"And there are these appendages called arms right?"

"How many arms do you have?"

I’m not sure why we should be inclined to trust the police in an environment where the government is clearly making an effort to play down the seriousness of the crisis and their hand in it. It’s also a bit hard to believe that someone would both be trolling hard enough to lie about their grandfather needing oxygen during an oxygen shortage AND give enough information for the authorities to show up and realize he was trolling.
Well, NY's numbers don't look good compared to any state except New Jersey's.

In theory.

In practice, designers design for two things: market demand, and personal predilection.
>* It has a weird mix of own and Rollup config settings that seems somewhat unpredictable

Oh god, this is a giant red flag. This is precisely one of my biggest gripes with Quasar (a Vue framework), which, on top of webpack/vue adds its own config that are intermingled with vue's and webpack's, and its honestly a mess, and oftentimes just straight up makes problems harder to solve.

I am obviously not railing against config dedicated to a single tool in a toolchain, but the way you described it rings a bell, especially the "unpredictability".

>* Many open issues regarding module imports, for ex, when a CJS module imports an ES one

This also seems to confirm my and other's suspicion, that the tool isn't really "deliver-grade".

But on the other hand, this is at least the fifth plugin I have heard someone recommend, dedicated just to profiling Webpack.

What do you think about the time difference shown in the article? I sort of feel it's a bit disingenuous since the test included a lot of other variables, but it seems hard to argue against it if it's this plain. Is this a config issue, or a "most commonly used loader" issue...?

> yes! Ideally I have around 500 tabs that I all need. I for example let your comment sit here for a while unsure if I was going to reply to it. There are more topics on HN currently under investigation. Each spawns a series of extra tabs. Cloud browsers, whole OS in the cloud, what hapend to paperspace? I open several articles that I may or may not read. When I get back to this discussion I look over the tabs it spawned and continue exploring while closing old ones... There is a window with music, one with youtube videos I might want to watch/comment on with the further research tabs they spawn. A dozen tax tabs, courier services, business card services. Dozens of tabs for websites I'm working at. jsfiddles, specs, demos. Tabs about wind turbines without propellers, road side wind turbines, covid, oil and coal reserves. And aggregators ofc

I thought you were trolling at first, but I realize this may actually be serious. You can lose the tab with my comment. I'm a worthless internet stranger, and if you REALLY feel the need to reply, you'll remember, anyway.

How many of those HN topics actually matter? The "may or may not read" stuff I think you can comfortably file under "does not matter" and discard for your sanity's sake.

I waste a lot of time looking at animal videos, too, but I close the tab after. I don't think that counts as something productive or necessary to revisit...

If you're closing lots of tabs, I'd hope you understand those tabs should've been closed earlier--rather than something nostalgic to revisit that never really mattered in terms of what you actually need to do?

It's fun to abuse technology, but at the end of the day, you should ask yourself... why? Is this really making your life more complete? Are you being more productive?
