I don't understand the logic. When the original usb-c MBP came out I spent $30 on Monoprice for usb-c to whatever cables and never looked back. I even still have many of those cables 3 laptops later.

People would actually comment about dongle gate in Meetups and I'd show them my usb-c to micro-usb cable... ...oh the look of shock in their eyes... "You mean... you never bought a dongle?". The concept of a cable with usb-c at one end and anything else at the other was completely foreign.
Reminds me of "Remember, the enemy's gate is down" from Ender's Game.

It's interesting when it's applicable... but I think it's rare. Yes, you can sometimes find hidden opportunities to compete on a different axis than the establishment, but more often time and competition have hardened whatever problem you're looking at against these kinds of side vectors.

Personally, I wish front-end frameworks were literally that, a set of files you can toss in a directory and serve (with nginx, apache, or any static host like netlify), with your backend as a separate deployable bundle.

SSR, progressive enhancement and all these tricks to speed up load time aren't really necessary if you just keep complexity down and your bundle size small.

Finland is same. And it really makes some sense. Why should each individual employer negotiate individually with their workers, when both sides can pool together for more leverage. Also it removes some aspects of competition you don't need to worry that you have to pay more for your labour than the other burger chains.
I don't work for Ikea so I don't know how it is implemented.

What you can see in the Network tab is that you get chunks of html from the backend which have all the markup

Other e-commerce stores do that too.

Sometimes these chunks also have js in them.

AnandTech quit doing SSD endurance testing as soon as vendors started selling trash TLC and QLC. Is that a coincidence? Can you really trust them?

There's a point where you need to put some trust in reviewers because the industry is set up to make them dependent on the manufacturers. However, there's a huge difference between traditional reviewers where employees are doing reviews and new age reviewers where influencers are doing the reviews.

People like Linus and Steve have way more incentive to put their own integrity over short term interests like pleasing a manufacturer, so it's very unlikely you'll ever see them shilling for anyone. Getting caught doing that once would ruin their brand (and credibility) because they are their brand.

In other words, there are no scape goats in the influencer space so they have way more incentive to be completely honest and transparent.

I remember when Tom's Hardware was new and I think the current generation of influencers / reviewers are going to obliterate the traditional media companies that have turned into affiliate marketing shills.
Reddit has turned into an agenda based and undercover money generating platform. OC posting is no longer a commodity regarded as a desirable on the site.

This is why reposts and triggering content are so common. Now when I look thru r/all or even the front page I'm likely to encounter lots of TikTok style reposts, subtly placed ads, and even videos of people dying and getting seriously hurt.

Reddit fosters this engineered content to drive attention and doom scrolling so that the underlying advertising and payola machine can push messaging in between watching content that has already garnered proven popularity or attention on other platforms.

Meanwhile there are life-long users who are still clinging to the idea that "good old reddit" will return, and some people posting OC in hopes of gaining traction to make it to the front page in futility.

Reddit's demise was first signaled when they chose to stop displaying how many downvotes were registered on posts (quite a while ago) in my opinion... The same way most platforms crawl towards the slow death and inevitable karma of turning "free membership" platform models suddenly and undercover into "full profit" models. Sorry for being a pessimist about it, but it happens every time. Tom was a genius, he knew when to jump off the gravy train.

This is basically the Sirlin article (https://www.sirlin.net/articles/playing-to-win) applied to sports and business.

It applies to product development too. Obsessing over "doing the things the right way", "using the right tools", "100% test coverage" is not enough to create a winning product. It is very easy for engineering teams to get caught up in those intermediate goals rather than the actual goal. I'd say it's one of the most common reasons technical founders fail.

A fascinating short clip about road manners when driving in a city. Most revealing is that the experience of driving in 1964 (that's over 50 years ago!) appears to be no different from today.

Narrator from the clip:

"It's really quite frightening the way power and isolation [inside the car] can so transform a man. Yet it's always happening. And women, so often, are better and less selfish drivers than men. What is it that a car does to a fellow?"
> it's too large for most modern use cases.

That's just opinion, though; some lunatics think that 8 space indentation is just fine, and they control what goes into the Linux kernel.

Basically, either you think 8 space indentation is fine, or else you regard 8 character tabs as not being suitable for the indentation use case (either you write off the tab entirely, or else subdue its size).

It has nothing to do with modern; programmers revolted at 8 space indentation in 1980 also. Indentation of less than 8 is not a modern trend.

Case study: V6 Unix, 1975.

C compiler uses hard tabs for indentation:

https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/source/...

(Was that viewed as 8 spaces though, when edited?)

When we look at Yacc in the same release, we see the germination of the problem of mixed style. Part of the source uses two space indentation. Part of it uses hard tabs. Other conventions also differ:

https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/source/...

Yikes! That's exactly the sort of thing that leads to tabs being banned.

I think Framework is great, I'll consider one when they offer a good trackpoint, but Doctorow's description of Thinkpads is…. weird. Like, a heavy X1 Carbon? Replaceable drives that don't go to 2TB? Other generalizations that just don't make sense.

I've been using Thinkpads for a couple decades now, in some ways the quality has wavered (partially due to contemporary concessions like compromises to be thinner) but they are still in general the best mainstream systems to run Linux with end user and field support. I've installed Ubuntu on every system, especially in the last years it has "just worked," and Lenovo even increasing offers Ubuntu pre-installed on some models.

In 2019 my new employer sent me a new MacBook pro. I couldn’t connect it to my home office monitors which had vga and dvi ports, so I asked for dongles.

Rather than try to sort out the cable confusion, they simply shipped me brand new monitors (which I wasn’t asking for). I also needed dongles to attach my keyboard and mouse, dongles for same were provided by IT.

My point: Dongles are still an issue, not everyone throws out their displays/keyboard/mouse every time apple comes out with some new version. My 2010 dell displays still work just fine, and it would be great if I could plug them straight into my laptop.
Then I'll just pile more freedom spam on, until you won't have enough hours in the day to do that work.

Not if some workers are being paid more than their productivity/value is worth.

These statements are contradictory.

Firing anyone not worth minimum wage makes the true minimum wage $0 = unemployment.

Which essentially prohibits anyone who's value is less than minimum wage from making any living at all, much less make a decent living.

This article made me remember some Sumo shenanigans.

Basically Sumo everyone is very heavy because there is no weight class system, when a guy became Yokozuna while NOT being fat, others complained, and the organization had to point out to the bothers that there are no rules saying you must be heavy... so if you can win while being light, that is not an issue.

Other one is a Yokozuna that got infamous for winning a lot by doing cheap moves, he looked more like he was fighting Muay Thai than sumo, often winning by elboing opponents or dodging and letting them fall on their own. Since Yokozuna not only is a title but a job with specific requeriments (Yokozuna are people with the job of showing off sumo in public appearances when the Emperor of Japan is present), the guy got a warning that if he kept winning his fights with this boring style (because his fights often would last 3 seconds or so...) he would get punished.

I just got one of these last weekend(I ordered it in early August) and so far it’s really great. The modular I/O and general mission of the company was what initially sold me on it, but now actually being hands on with it, I definitely feel secure in my decision to get one. I can’t overstate how good these modular ports are.

I also really like that you can bring your own hardware in a lot of cases. For example I had an extra M.2 SSD laying around, so I ordered mine without one and installed it. You can also do this with the RAM, and even the wifi card.

The only thing I’ve disliked about it so far is the arrow keys on the keyboard. Having full size keys for left and right but split keys for up and down feels weird, I would have preferred all full size arrow keys and a small right shift(because let’s be honest, when was the last time you used the right shift key?).

For anyone curious about Linux on it, I’m running Arch and had basically 0 problems specific to the device. It’s my understanding there were some incompatibilities with certain kernel versions before so maybe some of these problems exist in distros like Debian with an older kernel, but I have had no issues.

All in all, it’s just an exciting project and nice to see innovation in the space that isn’t just rounded corners or a sleeker edge or something where they take modularity or performance away for the sake of aesthetics.

Good to hear. I hope it's something all new languages have going forward, because like I mentioned in my extended post it's almost all about setting the tone correctly early in the standard library & culture, rather than any sort of "language feature" Go had.

Except similar tools like esbuild (Go) and swc (Rust) have achieved an order of magnitude improvement in performance compared to JS based fools. This is critical because developers will prefer the fastest tools to get work done.

> just admit you want to rewrite in Rust because you like Rust.
I think before the introduction of move semantics in C++11, there were a lot of cases where you needed new and delete to get basic things working. (Moving an fstream around is a relevant example.) So the modern rule of "don't use new and delete in application code" really wasn't practical before that.
Too esoteric.
I personally ended all my projects' support for RHEL and CentOS a few weeks after that went down. They were already a massive pain in the ass to support, and had a smaller userbase than other Linux distributions (<10% for RHEL and CentOS combined is typical). For me, that was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

I don't really think that IBM/RedHat really saw CentOS as a gateway to RHEL, but as a source of lost sales. I think CentOS had great indirect value to them. It let people like me create, test and support software on RHEL without having RHEL licences. I neither want nor need them, nor could I justify them in the absence of paying customers to underwrite the cost. CentOS gets used for test environments, home use, self-supporting commercial use etc. I don't think many of those would really result in conversions to paying RHEL subscriptions. But they do serve to introduce people to the RHEL ecosystem.

Maybe the strategy makes commercial sense. I don't know, or particularly care. But as an exercise in destroying a community which provided the extended support and software ecosystem around your core product, I think that was a strategic blunder. There are an awful lot of people who now won't be recommending RHEL to their customers, and the willingness of third-parties to test and support their software on RHEL has taken a hit, and that in turn reduces the value of using RHEL.
Why would someone prefer something that you wouldn't? There as many answers to that question as there are people. I for one love big cities, and prefer to live in one even though I'm a remote worker.

Because LoraWAN was designed for low power, intermittent/sporadic communication from battery/solar operated things spread out over a wide area. It's bandwidth is limited to 50kbits/sec per channel so its design is for sending small messages. Perfect use case would be something like a farm where you want to monitor dozens of small things such as the temperature in the barn, water level in a stock tank, monitor an irrigation system, monitor soil conditions, etc.
When the world gets past 'just running a program' we'll know. Until then the creator might feel clever but the device is not smart.

I suppose a space like HN is a place to be honest about what our technology can and cannot do. I think of this as a place where its okay to question ill-defined marketing terms and even do away with them when they don't apply.

> For what it's worth I don't think Apple has actually ever done this

I'm willing to bet real money that they did.
The modularity means you can change your workflow or peripherals without needing to find a dock or dongles long term. You can travel with the HDMI dongle in for putting a movie on a hotel TV or use with an external monitor somewhere. Maybe you need that SD card reader for most of your photo work but only on weekends or trips when you go process images immediately or need to offload them from the SD card.

Regardless, the port can be what you need it to be or just a useful USB-C, you aren't tied to whatever ports the OEM thinks you'll need forever even though it may only be valued by a small number of consumers.

That small number is still enough to drive sales for FrameWork. I'm interested if I need a better laptop and I sit at a desk with desktop in use almost all the time. This appeals to those that interested in more control over their device in configuration, expansion or modifications, and the various ports and IO options. I can't say I'd buy many of the USB modules (rarely would use most anyway) but the mentality is there and I so far have trust in the product. It's not meant to appeal to GAMERS or Enterprise execs, just those that want more control over their devices.
This is actually a really important question that we need an answer to.
Yeah I think that's it, there just isn't enough available space in soho and covent garden
I've replaced a glued in MacBook Pro battery. It isn't a big deal and very similar to the Framework, except the Framework has mechanical connections (screws and tabs). The battery replacement kit came with everything needed. It didn't come with newly additional capacity because the underlying changes in battery chemistry aren't there. The improvements in battery life mostly come from CPUs with lower TDP.

Before writing Clojure, Rich Hickey wrote FOIL[1], which used sockets to communicate between common lisp and the JVM (or CLR). When asked about making it in-process, Rich observed that the reflection overhead on the JVM was often as large, or larger, than the serialization overhead, so the gains to be had were limited.

_If_ Apple sends a design they made to a factory to have it mass-produced, and that factory makes more of the exact same parts and then sells them at lower price, that isn’t fair to Apple, just as it wouldn’t be fair if that manufacturer did the same for some Kickstarter campaign.

Similarly, _if_ third parties make lower quality products that intentionally look so much like Apple’s ones that it deceives customers, I think Apple has a point that that dilutes the value of their brand.
