Neither list seems to include much fiction. I've been reading "Diaspora" based on HN recommendations, as well as "Snow Crash", "Cryptonomican", and "The Martian".

("Cryptonomican" was a good story, but I really hated all the jumping around every five pages. "Diaspora" has sort of so-so writing, but very hard-math sci-fi and quite interesting ideas. I think it's the "hardest" sci-fi book I've read, which includes "The Martian" and the red-green-blue mars books.)
You think it's bad dragging a tent, chairs, and a soft sided cooler over the dunes now? Once you get the powered buggy the family is going to expect you to bring BBQs, couches, and enormous bomb proof yetis and you'll miss the simpler days when you could just say "that's too much stuff!".\
But toting around a dongle is exactly the problem we're trying to solve.
Early adopters, hardcore techies may love repairability but they will buy whatever comes out next.

What counts is the majority of buyers after these techies.

It's similar the early buyers of a Tesla who could say "ahh it will be so eco I don't have to buy another car for 10 years" and, 3 years later they buy themselves the new model as they would have normally do with a combustion engine car. Consumers first.

The key point is that repairability is important and is a marketing ploy but isn't a real fundamental issue for wealthy techies. They will just get another laptop in a year or so.

It's the non techies that are important, not us! It's the majority and long tail, not the early adopters that this laptop should be for!

The “Too many white dudes” problem in software
There's a large contingent of a minority of Evangelical Protestants who want to feel scientific exploration and discovery is done in good faith while also wanting to believe the Scripture, as currently received and understood (39 "books" of O.T., 27 "books" of N.T., written by diverse authors over more than a millenium), is what Almighty wanted us to have, and that it represents the spiritual truth as we should understand it ... how literal/symbolic/allegorical that Scripture might be is hard to determine.

So, this contingent usually is berated in religious forums ("No, the first two or three chapters in Genesis are 'historical narrative', heretic! ... BTW, here are the mental gymnastics for addressing inconsistencies in the two creation narratives [0]") or secular forums ("The Old Testament is a collection of inconsistent myths with no value in historical interpretation! There's no archaeological evidence of the Exodus! The New Testament passages weren't written till the year 300!").

But ... we (of this contingent) still want to meld the scientific and scriptural views, and we aren't too proud to be monkeys. For someone with this view, most of the New Testament makes little sense unless there was a literal Adam/Eve at some point, while evolution must also hold. There perhaps aren't many ways of reconciling these, so it's a struggle. The best I can reconcile is that "God made humankind from the dust of the earth" is the beautiful hack of evolution, and the Almighty chose, during one code review, from among candidate resulting species, his version 1.0 of the physical substrate of humankind, and "breathed the breath of life into [them]" to make them spiritually conscious. Then Garden-of-Eden, Tree-of-Life-vs-Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil, Partaking-of-the-Forbidden-Fruit, and we get to humankind's current reality. I look forward to seeing how wrong or right I am.

Same here. I went from a thinkpad to an m1 air, and although the noise wasn’t something that bothered me before, I do appreciate its absence now. The battery life also is a big draw. I can go to the office without a charger, and it’s not a problem. I’ve never had a laptop that made it past half a workday.
I was responding to a parent comment which said "capital (i.e. private property)", not coming up with my own definition or wording, so if you have an issue with the semantics, please take it up with them.

That said, the police usually aren't especially interested in protecting business assets and property from being damaged or stolen either. Ask any business manager or owner who has had property damaged or stolen, and they will tell you that the police (in most areas) don't particularly care.
Did you build that keyboard yourself, or buy it pre-made? If the former, where did you get the trackpoint? I have a Dactyl-Manuform that is nearly perfect, modulo the trackpoint (and wireless, better firmware than QMK, and a few other things), and I'm looking for one that I can use without cannibalizing an innocent thinkpad keyboard.
No one wants all the different ports though, they usually just want the correct ports. If you're plugging more than 4 things into your laptop at once you should be using a dock.
As I understood it the goal of Looker isn't to make the lives of people who can use something like Shiny better but rather the lives of people who use pivot tables 99% of the time. So rather than having technical analysts making dashboards you have business analysts making dashboards (or at least digging into generic dashboards).
I'd feel _more_ sketched out if a provider was handling it themselves. I don't know how much I want someone unqualified handling the storage of this themselves...
Prototyping Framework Laptop Expansion Cards [video]
Guy should have thought more about what you wanted to read when he wrote the article.
Rather than (only) a logical framework, perhaps something like psychoanalysis or psychedelic therapy would be more beneficial or complementary.
Your unwillingness to understand or empathize is a form of dishonesty. Just because you personally never needed a dongle doesn't mean such situations don't exist or that they are somehow boundary conditions.
This got me curious, I feel like if any laptop could allowed for a customized keyboard layout, it would be this one.

I'm really yearning for a modern laptop with a keyboard layout that doesn't seem to exist anymore in modern keyboards, something like this [1], where there is a set of 6 nav keys at the upper right corner and a set of full size arrow keys at the lower right corner. If the Framework laptop has an option for a customized keyboard with that layout, I'll literally instantly buy it without even considering other specs.

This has nothing to do with leaking (nothing "leaked"; it's a garbage-collected runtime). It's about memory pressure, which, I promise you, is a very real perf problem in C programs, and why we memory profile them. The difference between incremental and one-shot reads is not a GC vs. non-GC thing.
We should absolutely shame Tesla. Their marketing is selling "Full Self Driving" and have many times in the past hinted that autopilot is something it isn't. Elon claiming that your car will be a RoboTaxi in - 2 years also doesn't help and makes people think autopilot must be quite good.

How is a regular Joe supposed to know?
All of those packages are for running things in Deno or creating modules that will run in Deno.

If you just slam the brakes without using your body to counteract the inevitable push up and forward, you're going flying. E-scooters, just like e-bikes, normal scooters, bicycles and motorbikes require the rider to ride with their whole body and weight.
But it would be easy to make one yourself! Though fitting the port itself may be a challenge...
Indeed. It’s often the case too that it becomes outdated - more modern designs are more efficient etc. I’m probably more intrigued / surprised that it’s economically effective to keep a seventy year old machine working.
I assume it's tongue-in-cheek; because "rewrite in Rust to improve performance" is such a meme, the headline is subtly calling attention to the fact that this is rarely good advice and certainly not the first lever an engineer should reach for upon running into a performance problem.
I used to play video games with a friend of mine, particularly Red Alert (2?). He played every time with some BS rush or mass unit tactic while I would construct an elaborate base and have balanced fighting forces that looked cool. He won just about every match, and would delight in my rage quitting after a hoard of attack dogs or flying saucers would destroy my beautiful base. I remember being so frustrated that ‘he wasn’t playing fair’ or ‘correctly.’ I pursued varied interests in life, have bounced around careers and academia looking for meaning or virtue or something while he graduated with a C average and worked in an ‘easy’ field (according to my misplaced sense of superiority, that is). He climbed the ladder at some consulting firm (again, ladder climbing being something I express disdain for, rightly or wrongly) and is now quite well off, definitely makes more money than I do and has a much larger house and fancy cars, etc. He had and has a knack for winning over aesthetics or side-games, while I seem to only see the latter. Self-imposed morality or ethics especially. I like who I am, and I’m comfortable with my life choices, but there are definitely times I wish I was more like him.
This reminds me of a blog post by 2ality [0] talking about how the rise of JS tooling in non-JS languages signals a future where JS becomes much faster, simply due to the languages being compiled and not interpreted.

However, I am also reminded of a post I recently submitted called "We rewrote everything in Rust, and our startup still failed. [1]" I don't necessarily think this is the case with Rome however, as they are actually solving a crucial need - performance - rather than most companies who'd undergo rewrites which don't focus on their customers' true needs but instead simply want to rewrite for the sake of rewriting, whether it's for fun or for keeping their devs happy.

I am curious though why they wouldn't merge with SWC which is also written in Rust, or other efforts to write JS tooling in other languages.

Calendar Triage for Startup Leaders
It doesn't look like a no-brainer to me (already a Mac user). The MBP has a better screen, better battery life, performance, has a metal body, is completely silent and has nicer software.

That said, you should get the Air instead which is $999 with almost exactly the same specs, minus the annoying touch bar, and a tad lighter at 1.29kg.
I know very few people in NYC who actually want to go back to their offices to work.
Heres a biology point: accurate self-assessment is extremely difficult for the human brain, because the ability to assess yourself is one of the first things to suffer a loss of performance with external stimuli or sleep deprivation.

All you can really say is that you _feel_ more attentive.
Per wikipedia[1] The Taft-Hartley Act banned "jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns."

Most if not all of these actions are legal in Denmark, here's some quick definitions:

- A Jurisdictional Strike is a strike to dispute job assignments; e.g. that all brickwork be done by members of a brickworking union

- A wildcat strike is a strike without union organization (so to answer your question, yes it is literally illegal for a group of people to get together and go "fuck it this sucks" and not show up to work the next day.

- Solidarity strikes would be a strike when you don't work for the employer. Not to be confused with secondary boycotts (below)

- Political strikes are strikes intended to influence government policy

- Secondary boycotts are what TFA mentions; e.g. not loading/unloading cargo to/from a specific company.

- Secondary picketing would be picketing companies that do business with the company (e.g. picketing stores that sell products from the business, or companies that sell goods or services to the business)

- A closed shop is a deal that requires the employer to only hire union members[2]

- Donating funds to federal campaigns is perhaps obvious?

2: Note that it is still legal for a collective bargaining agreement to require those hired to pay dues, but this act also allowed states to ban even that. 27/50 states currently ban even this, though going by population it's less than half the population that live in such a state.
The Ferris Strategy:

1. Dehydrate yourself severely just before weigh-in to determine weight class so you weigh in a class below where you should be.

2. Rehydrate before the match and just push your opponent out of the ring.

In some circles, this is known as "cheating."
I love the Lesley koan at the start of this, but then the rest completely loses me.

As a player of Ultimate myself, I take this somewhat personally. I know people who love spending a lot of time trying to force strategies and learn codes for communication, but in the end it really just depends on what your goals as a group are. Are you practicing or are you playing. Practice only really pays off later, while playing is that juicy instant gratification. Same concepts holds for learning an instrument, or any skill really.

I'll just leave another quote here on the subject: "Work hard, Play hard".
People seem to always forget about nuclear. Pairing nuclear plants with desalination is perfect because you also need water in most nuclear reactor designs.

Can you link me to any information you know about the Navajo thing? I'm pretty well versed in the area, but I'm not aware of anything like that. It's also worth noting that "Anasazi" is considered a bit offensive by modern puebloans. Ancestral puebloans is preferred by archeologists, but that could be interpreted as a political stance depending on who you are.
Now, I happen to think Stadiums are too inefficient a use of space to be in Manhattan, but we should never celebrate NIMBYism like this.
According to everything I can google, camels are definitely domesticated, and the vast majority of them are today. According to wikipedia, there’s technically only 1400 “wild” camels or so, from the wild Bactrian group

Some other neat facts I just learned:

1. Apparently domestication can be defined as simply “12 generations of selective breeding”. What exactly is being selected is left open.

2. Feral is defined as first domesticated, then released. The only truly wild population of camels is apparently the wild Bactrian camels, in the gobi desert

3. Apparently camels started in the NA, traveled to Asia, got wiped out in NA (presumably by humans), got tamed in Asia, and then brought back to NA.

4. Apparently this also true of horses.
I did the same. I don't love using them, but it's better than keeping different cables around.
before unique_ptr we didn't have a good way to handle raii for a lot of things. I wrote a lot of RAII wrappers for various things (still do, but a lot less). Attempts like auto_ptr show just how hard it is to make raii work well before C++11.

Yes we had RAII, but it didn't work for a lot of cases where we needed it.
Dexs is short for distributed exchanges.

The crazy thing here is that it’s not so hard to hit the standard set of “pro” ports —

I applaud the modular approach but Apple’s donglevision was the pure distillation of user-hostility between the Bean-Counter in Chief and the SVP, Thin Stuff.

And all the industrial sheep who followed them. May we all recover…
I have a 2015 air that was $1k. I expect to get down to $120 per year in a couple years, but I would have to add $10/year for replacing the battery every few years.
> Parts of my desktop computer are from 2007 -- the case is from 1993,

How does that work? That predates the ATX form factor spec released by Intel in 1995.

I had a ginormous PC/AT compatible tower case at that time, very large, very heavy, all steel. IIRC, it had 8 5.25in external drive bays.

In retrospect, the ATX form factor has been rather long-lived, though there are plenty of competing form factors these days.
Smokers and the Obese save Governments money on healthcare costs, by dying earlier:

https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/05/health/05iht-obese.1.9748...

This study only included healthcare costs, and so the savings would thus be even greater when considering pensions.

"On average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived 77 years and obese people 80 years.

The healthy group cost $417,000, the obese $371,000, and smokers $326,000."
I read those comments as "OP doesn't even know the difference between a kernel and a distro".

The whole statement seems to nake that premise clear :^)
The usual C# reflection APIs that devs turn to allocate a lot, but there are ways to make them almost performant by (re)using delegates and expressions. There are a number of good libraries to use reflection faster, as well.
Publish or Perish
There are many other replies about how the trackpoint is ergonomically superior to a trackpad.

I'll add some nuance: it's entirely possible that a trackpoint is most valuable when your workload is majority typing with some mousing, as opposed to the other way around - so maybe you just have a different workload than most trackpoint users.

Separately - how long did you actually spend trying to use one? Most things have learning curves. You can't unlock most of the potential of a keyboard until you've spent dozens of hours learning how to type, so why shouldn't the same apply to a pointing device?
"developer velocity" is also, in some sense, a semantic question. I am special, of course, but basically, if you include things like "time fixing bugs that would have been prevented in Rust in the first place", my velocity is higher in Rust than in many GC'd languages I've used in the past. It just depends on so many factors it's impossible to say definitively one way or another.
I certainly lost something - I purchased a 3 year subscription with my first pay cheque, a month before it ceased publication :(
I assume that if Google wants to continue to do business in Russia, they have to fulfill some amount of requests from the Russian government. Google got out of China with a lot of noise about human rights and IP, but they plan to stay in most other countries, even ones with corrupt governments.

What exactly do Google's workers expect the company to do? As Google moves into being a cloud provider, they have to do this, or they won't have a viable cloud. Already Google is being fined for not being able to store sovereign Russian data in Russia.
All the conferences I’ve been to had dongles readily available. Most used hdmi. Once I had hastily arranged breakout room that had VGA for the Beamer. I think this is a non-issue?
Would it work to measure the size of compressed model?
>but some applications do require this level of identity proofing (scanning your passport in an airline mobile app to book an international flight comes to mind).

I never had to do this when booking a flight. The max I had to do was provide my personal info (name, birthday, passport number). If they asked for a passport scan and a selfie I would have noped out.
You could try audio journaling. Just use the voice memo function on your phone and start talking. What you think about. What to want to get done. What questions you have. What you think how the answers might look like, or how you could approach a solution. Just talk until there is nothing left to say. 10 minutes, 40 minutes, whatever. It’s like talking to a friend. Only that you don’t get interrupted. Plus, when you actually do talk to someone afterwards, you are a much better conversational partner. Because you’re not using the other person as an echo chambers for clarifying your own thoughts anymore. Instead, you have done that part already for yourself, and are now ready to have a real conversation.
If you play to win it can stop being a game really fast. And if you let life become serious it can stop really fast too.
The self-evaluation aspect is kind of beside the point. The core question is given a fixed amount of "attention", do you want to spend most of it staring forward to keep yourself in the lane and avoid rear-ending the next car? Current Tesla Autopilot does that particular task almost perfectly today, on highway at least.
Ehn.. I used to be like you. Once I used Pixelbook, a superthin fanless device, I was in awe. Pixelbook Go was similar fanless device as well. But, then I realized that they have their limitations. With a fan, one can achieve much better performance when needed. So, now, I prefer a laptop that can passively cool for normal day to day work, and then for heavy workloads take advantage of the fan.

I got the framework laptop, which should be able to push the intel chip to the max 28 TDP. I heard the fan is big, and thus not annoying. I am curious to see how it will turn out (My batch 3 order gets delivered tomorrow).
It's easy for politicians and business leaders to build shiny new things. Politicians get voter approval, business leaders get board approval. Everyone is happy. The ongoing maintenance of these things? Nobody wants to get involved in that - up and down the ranks. Politicians and business leaders don't get the accolades they seek, the rank and file don't get the CV enhancements they seek. So everything slowly falls apart until things get so bad we get to destroy the old and build shiny new. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. This is the origin of the old adage "things have to get worse before they'll get better."
Next.js is rewriting its core with a Rust-based compiler. SWC (JavaScript and TypeScript compiler written in Rust) will replace two toolchains used in Next.js: Babel for individual files and Terser for minifying output bundles.

Happy to expand on this more if you want.

Bought the dip?
I'll give a reply not seen here yet. I haven't bought the framework laptop (yet) but I can see the module appeal. There's all sorts of hacker-ish ideas that I could imagine stuffing in there and the fact that I don't need a dongle means they're always attached and ready to be thrown in a bag. My first idea:

Framework offers a 1Tb storage module for their ports! I backup my root OS via ZFS snapshot to USB every so often now. How great would it be to have a storage port that's all the recent snapshots of your important datasets. And, the possibilities are endless. The fact that they don't change the form factor of the laptop and that they're always attached is actually a big deal.
