I am amateur EE. My boards aren't very complicated but with exception of RF stuff (which I just don't understand) contain most of the interesting stuff: typically one or more STM32s below 200MHz, some flash, sensors, external interfaces like USB, display, some high power (>20A) stuff, some very sensitive analog stuff, etc. I have even recently started including my own SMPS (for lower power things).

Kicad is all I need and probably will ever need.

I get that better tools could help do some stuff but, realistically, great majority of work is outside of kicad (like learning, searching for parts, debugging, etc.) Even within kicad I spent most of the time thinking and tinkering with the schematics. So, according to Amdahl's law, there is very little I can gain upgrading Kicad to something else assuming it actually could make me more productive.

If you are pro and you can do that other stuff quickly and efficiently and EDA is majority of your work then, maybe the calculation is different. But I just can't imagine an amateur could benefit a lot.
"WSL (running Arch)"

Why not Ubuntu ? Arch is not for newbies afaik.
Anyway , the line "I switched from Mac to Windows a few years ago, right when they announced WSL integration. As an early adopter I instantly fell in love with it, even with WSL1. " makes me think that this individual has some issues (paid ?). MacOSX is a UNIX but the windowing system is not X11. And i do not think that development on windows is easier than on MacOSX.
> It's impossible to exist in modern society without using fossil fuels. Come on my dude.

There's a massive middle ground between "attempting to exist in modern society without using fossil fuels" and ignoring any personal accountability for willfully over-relying on fossil fuels to do things like drive half a mile to the neighbors.

> * The touchbar was shit, it could have been OK as an addition to function keys, but it precluded any and all muscle memory and quick access to featues. "More useful than F1 to F12 ever were." isn't even remotely true.

I mean, the F1-F12 keys are so mostly useless that the majority of laptops require you to press a modifier to use them as such. They replaced them with functions that are more broadly useful to most people: media keys, brightness control, keyboard back lighting, etc. I mostly agree that those keys are easier to use than the touchbar, though.
Are natural supplements good for something?
Sure, but that's perjury and you are taking on risk by doing so.
I think the underlying bugaboo is "untested", particularly when referring to something considered "fragile".

People trust traditional techniques of preparing food because they have proven successful at their intended goals. When you start messing with people's food, they become suspicious as to whether you know the full repercussions of what you are doing.

So the injection of a novel element is considered "artificial" - despoiling the "natural" -- e.g. time-tested technique, and possibly disturbing something fragile -- e.g. human health.

Similarly, people are quite reactionary when it comes to open spaces and nature because they see a system that appears to be in balance and has survived the test of time. They oppose altering the current state of affairs because they are sure some unintended side effect will screw things up.

On the one hand, it's laudable to have these goals, but if they used the standard language of conservatism, traditionalism, etc, they would be branded as reactionaries, so the spirit of the age is to invent new words like "artificial" and "natural" that are less loaded with politics, even though it is all just conservatism at its roots.

> As someone who has played semi-competitive games for a long time.. yes, the nature of man is to cheat

It is not. But it doesn't take many cheaters to ruin a game for everyone.

In competitive online games, I'd estimate that less than 5% of all players in my games are behaving dishonorably in some way. And that is even though aimbots, AI assistants etc. are readily available to those who seek them out.

If they weren't online games, the number would probably be even lower.

In any case, those numbers would be far away from the point where you could make statements like "the nature of man is to cheat". That feels a bit like saying "in stories most people identify with villains". They obviously don't - most people don't want to be that kind of person. Though obviously some have given up on themselves.

You need to actually prove that for each piece of software being ported, otherwise it's an assumption for potentially a million dollar investment for what would be a very poor business decision. It always depends on who is paying, you?

If it were an outright win, we'd all be on desktop Linux ages ago. It's a trade off, and you lose a lot. Including customers, by wasting money on a desktop Linux port when you can deliver value where 95% of your customers are. The other 5% is macOS.

Your competition is most likely focused on Windows. Other than server usage that is, Linux is a fine server. For my money, if I did find a performance loss on Windows, I'd start by working on either improving my implementation, or if it is a kernel issue to collaborate with Microsoft to equalize that. Rather than kick off years of support, and potentially millions of dollars on what is comparatively a barren wasteland.

Because I don't like it getting light at 4am and dark at 5pm.
Thank you for saying this, your personal experience here is just about the best insight we could ask for. Subjectively, there's an odd lack of current Apple engineers weighing in on threads here at HN relative to other FAANG companies. I've often wondered if the company's rules were stricter.
I can't remember the last time I played a game with someone who cheated. The nature of humans is to murder, steal, etc., but it's not really a risk when I'm playing chess. In other words, people have free will, they have a choice, to cheat or not.
When I first got my M1 MacBook Air I was still a DropBox paid customer. But when the app started using over half a gigabyte of memory, I took more and more stuff out of it and started putting it on iCloud. I've cancelled my subscription and now have less than my grandfathered free space occupied, with no syncing going on.

I have very few apps that require Rosetta 2. In my experience, it works great, but I can no longer imagine having an app that requires Rosetta running constantly in the background. My MBA is only 8GB, and while that is rarely a problem for me, I can't afford to just fritter it away.
Warning: guesswork. If only females survive with this disruption, it can only be inherited from a mother, so only 1 X chromosome of a female can have it. If somehow only those females survive, there's a pool of 50% of X chromosomes of females with the mutation. The following generation would be born with half of the female population with the mutation (25% of female X chromosomes), and half of the male population dead. The following one, without artificial selection, would have a fourth of mutated females and dead males. So this mutation tends to just disappear without selective pressure.

So while a tuskless female may generate 2:1 females to males, that's (hopefully, depending on poaching) far from a stable birth ratio for the population, though active poaching may cause the female to male ratio for living specimens can be further skewed much higher than 2:1.
I know she didn't cheat, but she was accused and has shared the story several times. I thought it was more recent then that, but I suppose it just means I'm getting old.
Even if they can't use contain, this is a self-inflicted problem - if you look at the screenshot, other elements + a drop shadow overlap the content list, which means it can't trivially be efficiently scrolled by a compositor, and it's quite reasonable for the browser to assume that it can affect layout. If it were a properly isolated box in the page without overlap with overflow turned on I bet this would have already worked properly.
Another important question: how long does Apple plan to support/maintain it?
The cleaning cloth was sold out immediately.

$20 is a ton for a cleaning cloth, but a small price to pay for consumers of apple products.

Here is the alternative (personal experience)
1. You search on amazon
2. Get presented with 1000 products
3. Read some reviews, wonder if this is the best product for your iPhone, will it work on the laptop
4. decide you don't really need a cleaning cloth

The apple solution, solves your problem for a price.

I haven't bought the apple cloth, but have and am considering it.
It's dicey according to the GPL FAQ [1]. It goes against what GPL authors want: their work being used in proprietary projects.

This could have been prevented very simply: GitHub avoiding training Copilot on GPL code.

Fraudsters Cloned Company Director’s Voice in $35M Bank Heist, Police Find
People with decades of experience, each, in the Linux and Unix graphics stack, have determined that the most efficient thing to provide, from a display server perspective, is a way of blitting bitmaps (specifically, of compositing bitmaps representing viewports into a final screen image) and that, if there is rendering to be done, it should be done client side. This is the consensus of those with domain knowledge, and it is what is supported by the broader community (toolkits, DEs, etc.). It's also how the major toolkits have been doing things anyway, irrespective of how X11 actually works: draw everything client side and send it to the X server for display. So, your X server is really effectively nothing more than a shitty Wayland compositor.

And people wonder why Linux lags behind Windows and macOS in terms of desktop smoothness and quality.

When all is said and done, you may as well remove the legacy cruft (drawing and filling primitives, the fucking X font architecture, etc.), delegate remote display to a protocol that is better designed to support it such as RDP or PipeWire that only gets loaded when necessary (which it's not for 90% of users in 90% of use cases), and streamline the display server itself to just that which modern clients actually need, and that's Wayland. Wayland just brings Linux, barely, up to the state of the art set by Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android -- which have prioritized perfect frames and smooth compositing and presentation since forever ago.
> Considering yourself one thing has nothing to do with how society views you.

Being hispanic in the US has long been considered an ethnicity rather than a race. So yes, it is all about how you view yourself. And you cannot view yourself one way if the majority of your peers views you differently. It's just a myth to think that tens of millions of descendants of hispanics who view themselves as white are viewed as non-white by the society at large.

> Fl is red because of the presence of Cubans who lost everything during the revolution and were whiter

This is racist nonsense. The Cuban revolution happened in the 50s, and that's when the expats fled - only a minority of which were "wealthy". There has not been a rush of wealthy Cuban expats into Florida during the last few election cycles. What has happened is the decedents of those people are second and third generation now, which is exactly the phenomenon I was describing.
"artificial selection" means people selectively breeding for traits they find desirable [0] [1]. e.g. "I want a short-legged dog, so I'm going to keep breeding the shortest-legged dog from each generation together." That's not what's happening here. The poachers aren't trying to create tuskless elephants.

You can't peel off the "natural" in "natural selection" in this case and say "because this is done by humans, it's artificial selection," when artificial selection already has a distinct meaning.

That's true, I actually run fiber in my home for that reason. I think the problem with fiber is, though, that the technology is pretty unknown to consumers and working with fibers is a lot harder than working with cables; they take a lot less abuse before breaking, for example. But if someone is going for 10Gbit+ in their home network, I can highly recommend fiber.

People are commenting this post and saying it is speculation, and until someone who directly was involved in these discussions shows up to comment, I suppose it is.

I have been in design meetings with Jony, and Scott Forstall, and many others whose decisions were micromanaged by Steve at every step. You can argue that a lot of Steve's design decisions were questionable; rich Corinthian leather skeumorphism, lickable Aqua widgets, brushed aluminum window title bars, but he owned them.

Steve and Jony would sit for hours outside of Caffe Macs going over designs. Steve would spend even more time inside the industrial design area going over prototypes. He would spend a couple of hours every week meeting with every software team that had user facing features. He had input on almost every pixel on the screen and every button/port/display/etc on hardware.

Once he was gone, the drift began. It was inevitable that focus would shift. Scott no longer had protection by Steve. Jony fixated on the new campus and things like watch bands. No one had Steve to rein in whatever impulse they had. Sure, people would ask "What would Steve do?" but we also had Tim Cook pushing to optimize production, lower cost of goods and increase margins.

Apple still has Steve DNA, but it continues to be diluted. You may disagree with Steve's vision and opinions, but it was strongly held and enforced. I feel almost everything about the last generation of MacBook Pros went against what Steve would have wanted and I am glad I wasn't there when those decisions were made.
Yeah, I have a phone number, and I don't pick it up if I don't recognize it. I don't know you, I probably don't want random communication from you.

I have one laptop whose usb-c port has loosened up to the point where I have to wedge something under the cable on the table to create upward pressure in the port or it won’t charge reliably.

I’ve been way more impressed with the durability of lightning ports. They get dirty and need to be cleaned out but their mechanical strength is amazing (apple’s cables on the other hand…). I like that Apple is confident enough in the strength of the lightning port that in the Apple stores, the standard display is to have the phone being physically supported by the port alone, even in an environment where hundreds of careless people are going to be messing with it.

> Bidding conventions are supposed to be fully disclosed, so if you have some special signals with your partner, they're written right on your card and the other team can see them. If they're not sure what you're doing, they can ask "what does your partner's bid mean?" and you have to say something (of course, they can't ask YOU what your own bid meant).

But this is a rule of the tournament, not a rule of the game. The game already imposes severe restrictions on partner communication; I've never understood why playing within those restrictions is so widely viewed as "cheating".

> > For example, I have implemented layers where GraphQL queries feed into mobx to manage some additional application state that never persists.

> Not sure what you want to say with this because it sounds like you used Mobx for state management in that case. Or do I misunderstand you?

Yes, I kind of botched it, but it's my point - GraphQL as state management can mean a lot of things. It can mean Apollo, client-side cache invalidation, use of subscriptions, etc.. I think that I found your statement of GraphQL breaking down above moderate complexity confusing because it was unclear to me what way you meant this in.

RE: apollo client, it's interesting to see that it's large, I agree that contrasted to XState or Mobx or especially Redux it is quite large, I would be happy to see that number come down, but I also am not so scared of 40KB I can serve from cache given I'm rendering "dataflow editors" of some complexity

Finally, I agree I barely use Apollo, I find its graceful property to primarily be cache management but greatly prefer mobx for true application state management because it is blazing fast / the most efficient rendering strategy
