Can you explain a bit more? What's missing from current options?
I have a learned aversion to PDF features such as forms. It's partly because HTML already has pretty good forms; and partly because of the long history of gross PDF security failures by Adobe.

I think a PDF viewer (I prefer "reader", because that's what Adobe called their free product) is for viewing PDFs. The point of PDF, to my mind, was that you got a much higher level of control of typography and design than you could get with HTML. So designers and marketers liked it. I have never bought into interactive PDFs.
I don't get why the air-quotes were added to the title here.
I was with your comment until the last part. There is no need to single out people with credit card debt versus not. Aid should be distributed with zero restrictions. Marginal income/wealth taxes will take care of ensuring poor people get more aid than rich people.
I have a Dell xps and will never buy another laptop from dell. It's an embarrassment how awful if is. Close the lid without full shutdown, warranty voided bad.
I'd say it's both.

There was up to the 20th century an anti-Eastern bias (as the western wannabe successors to the Roman Empire wanted no legitimate competitors and felt the presence of ERE as de-legitimizing them).

But also because the transfer from a roman/italic/latin/pagan/Rome-based to a hellenistic/greek/christian/Constantinople-based state was quite a big transition, which only legally and nominally one would accept as the same empire.
Smaller bezel. Most manufacturers want an "edge to edge" display because that looks nice (and reduce the overall size of the laptop) but then they don't know what to do with the webcam.

Some remove it entirely (some Asus), some put them under the screen and Huawei even has a webcam under a fn key in the keyboard.

The problem with that is when you sign a work contract with your employer, there's typically a clause there that also says something along the lines of, "whatever uses you may have of company resources becomes the property of the company".

So clearly, there can be a delineation of personal vs. corporate entities there if I don't elect, for example, to use my personal Github account versus my work Github accout, which I signed up for using my company email address. If under that scenario, the company cannot claim ownership over my personal email account, then clearly my person is not the same legal entity as my employer and I can keep both free accounts without violating Github's T&C, isn't that correct?
I am mentoring Junior Developers, working students, trainees and interns who are at the very beginning of their career, they don't have _their_ setup yet. I watch them do something very tedious, and then I point out that there is a shortcut or IDE function for that. They have always been grateful, so far.

> And why does one even need to know vim at this point in time?

I was thinking about this a lot last night. I have learned drumming, bass guitar, guitar and I am learning piano now, so I may not be an authority on practicing, but I know that practice usually leads to a certain degree of improvement.

And very early in my career, I also practiced coding, more specifically I practiced using the IDE, and later I practiced using vim.

Both of these things give me confidence in the "writing and editing" aspects which let me focus on the other aspects of coding, like the abstract/ideas and the stack.

So I don't think it's important to know about vim, but it is important to at some point have deliberately practiced with the tools one uses daily for years to come.
Interesting, do you see your RSS reader or the search as the main product? Have you thought about getting RSS feeds e.g. from the Common Crawl [0]?

Social media attention is highly asymmetric, but I'm not sure what else to use as filter. There's so too much information otherwise, especially if considering old blog posts. False negatives are the cost for getting more signal.

There are many options backed ETFs, these are essentially tracking the right to buy x product at y price. Sure if you trace it down long enough there is an asset there, but realistically you're buying an ETF tracking a number of contracts. The ETFs tracking oil futures aren't going to cash in on these options and collect the oil, so the assets are never going to change hands. They'll sell them at a determined date. Making them essentially contract ETFS. Is a contract for a good you're never going to buy in any other way more 'imaginary' than an electronic currency when compared to hard assets? I guess that's up to the consumer to decide.

It does not, it only needs to check the shared refcount when the local count reaches 0, to decide whether it can free the object immediately or whether it should mark it as "unowned".

70-80dB is really very audible. I'd imagine much worse for dogs given how sensitive their hearing is.

And to add insult to injury, you as the user do not get to have a root account. Yes, there are ways to get one, but even the "alternative distributions" go out of their way to make it extra tedious for you. I would for example expect a built-in menu in Lineageos settings called "enable root" that does what it says without further steps.
Instead I need do install some 3rd party stuff from somewhere, get the bootloader image from somewhere, patch it, use a PC to install that image... for each update!

13" for me. It's the sweet spot between it being portable enough to travel with or use while sitting on the couch but still having enough to comfortably work with. And then I have an external monitor at my desk for when I'm working. Those rumors about the MacBook Pro 14" would only improve it since the device size itself is supposed to keep the same footprint.

I had a 15" before this, and it's considerably more annoying to take with you. You might also be less flexible in terms of where you'll work from, e.g. if the table space is limited such as at coffee shops.
> magazines and newspapers you had to buy but were full of ads

Computer magazines (and computer/video game magazines) had pretty good ads. They're still fun to read today.

I still miss the Fry's Electronics ad sections in newspapers.

A few years ago at least, print magazines still seemed to be alive in the UK, perhaps in part because they were often sold by newsagents.

Pretty much yes, I also switched from Arch and this works great for me.

I only had issues a couple times with broken packages, then you can either not update at all or remove those packages. It should also be possible to keep the older version of those packages in the nix config but I did not look into it.
I’ve come to expect ~80% of work requirements be ‘fast and cheap’ (regular projects) and the rest is ‘fast and good’ (well-funded startup, maybe internal). As I work near academy, there’s a fraction of ‘slow and very cheap’ (produce publications expected by grants by end of the reporting period).

‘Good and slow’ requires exceptional planning or some kind of a lifestyle business, and thus is uncommon in software, AI in particular. Most work conditions require tight deadlines to coordinate with other (relatively isolated) business entities, therefore gotta go fast to deal with possible scheduling conflicts and unaccounted for parts of work.
Then some mechanism of deprecation could be immensely better than removal (in software with tolerance - an image viewer or an audio editor are not the same as medical equipment firmware or banking software). It could also encourage the interested to review and update the code in case of need.

Some pieces of software are more free to grow, their value is in options (image processing), while others have value in their reliability (banking).

This said, one phenomenon that appeared in the "unfortunate decade" and which is extremely dubious is that of the propaganda that "less is more". No it is not. Freedom is "more". Constraints are "less". (In the general reality of desktop software applications.)

Bought an X1 recently and the Linux support is amazing: all components work more or less out of the box, and with `fwupd`, you even get firmware updates.

This is my first Linux notebook after ~4 years and I am really blown away by how easy it was to set up!

Not sure what you mean by keyboard flex, but so far, typing is really good...I am mostly using this for text work (research papers, proposals, presentations), so the keyboard sees a lot of use.
Oh no. The book was only 160 pages? I whatever will you do?

You can override package attributes to update a package if it is not updated, without having to wait for the upstream.
Yes, there are some circumstances under which it makes sense to parallelise some of the work.

I'm assuming the FAA does this already. Human organisations have a bias to parallelise to a fault. Increasing the parallelism level beyond this does not improve lead times.
It seems fairly easy to automate given the person automating has control of a domain, which is trivial: 001@somedomain.com, 002@somedomain.com, etc.

That would likely be seen as a feature
That’s not what decode(“hex”) does though. It takes strings in whatever encoding and turns 0-9,a-f into bytes. In Python 3 it would presumably return a bytes object instead, which you could then hypothetically call encode(“hex”) on. But the point is that it would have kept the syntax the same even if the underlying types changed.

Python3 unnecessarily broke compatibility in many places. Yes I agree that using bytes.fromhex() and .hex() are better design choices. But requiring manual inspection and updating of all strong manipulation code for the transition was an outrageous requirement, particularly for a dynamic language that doesn’t (or at least didn’t at that time) have compile-time type checking to catch such errors.
Sure, people could write books before the printed press, but guess what? You lower the barrier to entry and stuff happens.

Normally happens during suspend and when you wake the phone up again, the modem is gone until you do `sudo systemctl restart eg25-manager` (using the FLOSS firmware on the latest release). When it happened once, it will happen more often, until the phone is rebooted, than you get it working for longer time again.

> honestly it looks like a regular intel laptop

That'd be true for laptops from 3-4 years ago. That's also what I thought about framework until I saw the recent crap Lenovo etc. are pushing in consumer segment. They have basically tablet motherboards. Everything else is soldered. No ram slots, no sata, no connectivity, only a single M.2. If you're lucky it'll have 1 ram slot. This'll only get worse and spread to all segments.

What I often find myself lacking in C is a way to overload functions only on pointer constness. Consider

elem *array_get(array *a, int idx)

If I only have a const pointer to a, I cannot use this function. I have to add a second getter for const usecase, or use casting which seems unsafe.

I would like array_get to return a const pointer if the input was a const pointer, and a full pointer otherwise.

Macros can do this. But it would be nice if it worked for functions as well.

I had an AMD Ryzen ThinkPad. It has all the same issues with modern sleep. The solution is to enable S3 sleep in the firmware.

Unfortunately, even in S3 sleep, the battery would drain in a day.

I am now back to a MacBook Air (M1) and sleep works perfectly. Life is to short to deal with the terrible state of sleep on Windows/Linux laptops.

Amiibo support itself doesn’t sell games so I doubt an NFT equivalent would either. The failure of the whole toys-to-life stuff speaks to this as well.

And that technology exists does not make a notional use of it something people actually want or need. The reason for a lack of co-marketing isn’t a lack of technology as the parts of my post you didn’t quote note.

It's funny that of all the gazillion features C++ has supported a for well over a decade the C folks have been missing out on, they pick exactly the one superfluous keyword in C++ to cherrypick onto C. You have to wonder what will happen if/when C++ removes the requirement for the keyword later.

Brutal Truth about Bitcoin
here's mine, in the order of priority;

1. Keyboard - I love the old Thinkpad keyboard and hate the new chick-lets which seem to have become the norm.

2. Display - 13-15" , 4k and matte. I am currently using a surface book 2 and the screen while lovely is reflective enough to do my hair in between meetings.

3. Discrete GPU - I generally use a single laptop for both work and play and would prefer the laptop to have a good discrete GPU for casual games.

4. Linux as OS - I have recently become rather soured with windows and have switched over to linux.

Things like weight, battery life, looks etc don't matter much to me
When I read you first paragraph, I was like, "This guy's gonna love an Asus Zephyrus G14". Glad to read that you already have one.

How has it been for you?
I found the MBP 16 Intel version to be the worst macbook they have made. Great screen, but everything else wasn't worth the money.

They also introduced a crazy bug which when you plug in a USBC charging cable you can twig the temperature sensor on the macbook sending the whole CPU to 100% and it was a software issue not a hardware issue. Still not fixed.

I intend to get the nex M1X for the simple reason that it will be better integrated with the mac's and OS. I don't love Apple, but I consider them to make the best laptop so i'll be excited to see what they release on monday.

I mean, channel chat largely is. Same for channels on Teams and Discord. Not that they don't have other potentially useful features like multimedia posts, notifications, reactions, voice/video calls, file uploads, wikis, full office suites, etc..

But the author's point isn't that they lack features - it's that they're clunky web apps. He isn't wrong.

Full disclosure: I dislike Slack, find Teams to be clunky, buggy and generally unpleasant, and tolerate Discord but for gaming only.
