Yeah, inside the enclosure of a modern TV is an LCD panel connected to a board the size of a raspberry pi that holds a SOC and some input connectors. There just isn't anything to be repaired. The minimum unit of replacement is the entire unit.
I am one of the few exceptions not the rule so take what I say with a grain of salt. I browse the web with JavaScript and external fonts disabled. I also force every site to use the same font and font size.

I enable JavaScript if I know who is running a site and where their company is located and/or if I have a binding contract with them. Even then I use disposable containers [1] for those sites and run bleachbit before/after visiting such sites and use sqlite3 to clear visit_time from places.sqlite. I launch Firefox from firejail [2] with AppArmor enforcement.

Largely, yes. I'm a heavy user of uMatrix, so I can toggle JS and other resources by domain. By default, JS is off, but if I trust a site enough (which is a low bar), I'll turn it on for the domain and most CDNs, but not for any GTM/FB domains.

Not OP, but having some similar experience I'd say being more grueling, it forced the writer to accumulate experience faster. I'd add that besides the management of the aforementioned snippets that could be copied in at same point, part of the snippet-level editing, that nowadays goes on the computer, before it was just done mentally.
> I never understand the take “this product is a runaway, worldwide success, and I want to use it as well because it’s by far the best, but I also want various other of my own, individual priorities factored in” in some sort of mythical unicorn product.

Just because a product is a runaway success does not mean it's also not a potential environmental disaster waiting to happen. Cars were also a runaway success. So were plastic bags and straws. So was snake oil and so are various sugary fizzy drinks that destroy your health.

We can't just leave everything to the free market and the uninformed preferences of the consumers and watch everything around us burn because $THING is successful because $CORPORATION advertises it and consumers love it, otherwise we end up in the dystopian Idiocracy scenario of "Brawndo is what plants crave because it has electrolytes and is the no. 1 thirst mutilator".

That's why we should regulate products that are a runaway success to make sure their success doesn't come at the expense of other things around us.
I agree with your mindset. It’s time for a unicode replacement.
Weird Internet used to be a few places. Now it (more precisely, the ideas) is everywhere, and reported on as if it is perfectly normal, because "journalism." This ends up legitimizing it further, even if it is painted as weird, as some ideas benefit from any sort of exposure ("the man is oppressing us by painting it as bad!").

Terminally online users are the problem. Until we regard their neurosis, addiction, and proclivity for unreality as a real problem, this will only get worse. Pulling on this string will drag several much harder problems along with it, such as equitable access to mental health care.
I’m reminded of the comparison to the dragon-slaying knight, finding himself with fewer and fewer dragons to slay, resorts to slaying increasingly small animals and, once nobody is impressed by that anymore, builds dragon effigies of straw.
I think they actually bought the bank this time around to use the license. I may be wrong though.
If you mean recorded commands, those are stored in registers, which from a quick look at the source [1] seem to just contain strings. So I would imagine their length is only bounded by memory.

So I suppose you could just qq, write your entire thing, then "qp to get the whole history. I wonder if there's a tool that replays commands in slow motion, or some neat way to add sleeps to a command sequence.

That depends entirely on the contract with Adobe which almost definitely would prevent that.
You're conflating multiple issues. Having the right to repair is valuable and desirable, even if it's not actually easy to do the repair. I think we've gone too far down the road of not owning anything we buy, and thus having no rights to use things outside of narrow legal agreements nobody even reads.

Making the device easier to repair is also desirable, both for Apple and for third parties, because these things break all the time and need to be repaired. It saves everyone time and reduces waste.

Design is a balancing of constraints, some of which are constraints of the product of the design, and some of which are constraints of the process. Repairability is a constraint, and when that constraint becomes stricter something else has to give. Maybe this is more expensive to manufacture (and given the massive price hike in europe it wouldn’t surprise me), maybe this design took up a lot of designer hours, which held up other products. Whatever the trade-off is, it must be real.

My point is: improved repairability always comes at the expense of something else.

> most readers, who will just ignore the "same standard of living bit" and feel they are being oppressed.

I think this is an uncharitable view, but that aside, is that not a reasonable assumption for "most readers"? This group is exceptional in that they explicitly state maintaining the same standard of living as a goal. In what I know of most modern climate-related discourse, there are very few such mentions.

Well, notarization was optional for most Mac apps on macOS 10.14 Mojave but required on 10.15 Catalina.
CCs are still free or nearly free in almost every state. In CA, 50% of CC students pay 0 while the rest pay around $550 per semester which is nearly free.
How did that happen?

I've got ZFS snapshots as well, so I'm not overly worried, but I wasn't aware that was a failure mode.
Not the OC, but for me what I lost was the identification of a set of clear, discrete points (with references) that I initially thought contributed to the essay/document.

Sometimes I discarded the nuggets as better ones came along. Sometimes the thesis subtly changed as I gathered these nuggets. Sometimes the layout changed drastically as I shuffled my index cards. All before I even committed to my essay structure.
The interesting thing about this story is that the details are so unlikely that there are "obvious reasons for doubt"; from a 17% mostly negative reply rate to a 87% mostly positive reply reply rate on name only is a huge difference and very unsubtle.

I think it should be obvious that this person never actually ran the experiment, and merely reported what they expected the difference to be.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it could have been true" is a particular kind of reasoning I've seen a few times over the years, from different ideological perspectives.
I think you could slightly argue that there is a second lane because private student loans don't get a repayment. But even as someone in that "second lane" I'm not upset that the pothole got fixed in the other lane. I'm just happy that less people are hitting potholes. I'd be happier if we fixed all of them, but fixing one is better than fixing none.
Apple Care + is going to become an insane profit center and an absolute no brainer when purchasing a new Apple device.

This puts Apple’s recent “no limit to accidental repairs” policy update in perspective. When I saw that I said, “well I guess this is how they are going to use their cash reserves, because no way will this be net profitable”

To boot, I always wondered why it was so cheap - $200 for AC+ then $29 per screen or back replacement. When considering the employee time and equipment, that’s absolutely a loss.

As someone that just wants good things in the world, this makes my heart flutter. It’s wonderfully aligned with customers and does good for the bottom line.

Sorry to all my fellow repair brethren still slogging it out there. Accuse me of being a fanboy - but this is amazing.

[Edit]: This may potentially eat into the phone case market as well. The feel of a bare iPhone is that much better and you can put the cost of the case toward AC+.
... assuming there are no further variants, and hand-waving long covid away, sure, it's settled.

I think we'll find that just like reports of Mark Twain's death, rumors of the end of the pandemic are greatly exaggerated.
In all honesty, my first assumption would simply be 'poor translation'.
If Apple allows super easy salvage of another device for parts, I wonder if phones will start to be stolen again. Easy salvage might create an unacceptably wide-spread life-safety risk to ALL smartphone owners.

Tradeoffs, unintended consequences.
You'd probably be surprised at how many of the student loans in default came from trade schools. I know the narrative is that all the people in student loan trouble majored in Bulgarian folk singing or whatever, but that's not anything like an accurate picture.

The largest outright student loan cancellation in recent years was for former students of ITT Tech, which was a trade school.

> The bare minimum to compete would be native and web apps with good UX, competitive reviews and search, and better social features. Then you can fight the other half.

That does not seem like a winning recipe for competition. The bare minimum for competition would be some type of product differentiation that substantially differentiates the experience. Trying to compete on things like data, UX, or search doesn't seem like a winning formula to me.
Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design, Gause+Weinberg

This book introduced me to the questions I should have been asking before starting to write software and helped me make a lot more money by impressing people with those questions.

Included in the book are context-free and meta-questions which are useful in all sorts of arenas.

By forcing me to become immersed in separation between functional and non-functional requirements, I began to understand the importance of the non-functional requirements (software quality attributes) and have since found that it is a useful distinction in the pursuit of living well.
A thing to consider is that the hoaxers would likely over-report while real victims would tend to under-report.

No-one uses 400w computers anymore for working though?
This is absolutely doable, I've been off-grid for almost 3 years now with a very minimal setup and for the most part I have no complaints outside of a couple weeks in the dead of winter, and the one week that gets really really hot in the summer. I'm not sure how to calculate my total embodied energy but in terms of electricity I have never used more than 7kWh in a single day, which works out 300W and includes all of my computing needs as well as refrigeration, lighting, minor heating/cooling, some small amount of cooking and at least a couple lattes every day.

On the worst day in winter my consumption is usually ~1kWh, limited by solar production.
Your $10,000 sacrifice also probably paid off more of the student loan than the $10,000 subsidy did.

Education costs have risen. 33% on average over the last 10 years. 100% in the last 20. And that is accounting for inflation.
#3 seems true, but remember all this bites Apple as well. The redesign also makes it cheaper/easier for them to repair things. So even if this is 100% selfish it would still be good overall.
Isn't innovation frequently a result of limitations?
So if our goal is to prolong the lifecycle of consumer electronics, then repairability isn’t a necessary metric.

If regulators instead went after service pricing abuse, that would force companies like Apple to drive down their repair prices—which might force them to design their hardware in a more modular manner, but not necessarily, so that if it becomes negligibly cheap to manufacture and replace the entire part of a less modular architecture, then they still have the freedom to design electronics in a less modular architecture. Repairability, considering the arbitrariness of the level of modularity that it stops, really does seem like a constraint on innovation.

User-serviceability is another unnecessary requirement, in my opinion, and in this regard, regulators can go after service availability. Electronics manufacturers who insist on tight integration of their products should make their repair services highly available, which seems like a fair trade-off.
To me this sort of bans always feel like an easy way out. Why educate good phone use when you can just impose any rules you want?

While small things like this create a big contrast between "school" and the "real world". When kids are at home doing homework they will have access to phones. They live in a world where every adult always has a phone in their hand. Why not teach them good and healthy ways of using tools and technology?
Seems to me like Apple was more innovative when they had fewer employees and fewer resources, so perhaps we should break up the company in order to increase innovation.

You miss the point. I do not care what "the people" learn. I care that my car window is not smashed if some low-life sees an iPhone inside, cause it is known that it holds no value if stolen.

Interesting to see "BA Biology" in the "most subsidized" list. Is that because it's a popular default major at many schools, and unlike a BS it is less rigorous? I went to a school that only granted BAs, except for Engineering, so all of our Bio majors were BAs. I don't know how common or uncommon this is, or if there are schools that offer both BAs and BSs in Bio.
They’re still doing the pros so they may have improved as well.
As much as I can weather, yes. Sometimes things become so broken I allow more to run than I'd prefer, when really I should just go elsewhere
Right, there are specific instances of opinions which cannot be verifiable facts, but the verifiability of a fact is not, in general, itself verifiable!
Saying that jobs are "discovered" instead of created is akin to saying that code is discovered instead of created. When you program you create code, there are many ways to structure it so the code will look vastly different, therefore it doesn't make sense to say that the code was discovered, it was definitely created.

Jobs are the same, when you create an organization there are countless ways to structure it and you will create different jobs depending on how you do things. Job creators are the people who create organizations, the better they do their job the more these organizations can do with less people so the more wealth there will be to share, so job creation is an extremely important job.
This is getting stupid now. I don't care what it's for, I want to make this very clear for anyone at Apple, so read this next bit aloud ok; I DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEND ANYTHING ON MY COMPUTER TO YOUR F***G SERVERS. As a professional, I will never buy a Mac with will refuse to use one for work so long as this walled garden horseshit continues.

I think what he's trying to say is that a human has limited time to analyze variations, so they would typically analyze the "best" move for a given situation.

But if you make a suboptimal move, then you are going down a path that is less analyzed and thus you are likely to have an analytical advantage.

So while the board state is well known, what your opponent has researched is not known, or partially known (since players have favorites and predispositions).
We are not backed by any VC - just indie hacking that's the greatest prerequisite to comparing ourselves to Chromatic. At the SaaS level we want to bring value to the community by:

1. allowing visual regression testing integration in any part of your flow(locally for free, paid on the platform) with any need for visual testing(stories, pages, components, cypress, playwright). Chromatic is focused on building upon their fundament - storybook.
2. making it affordable. Everybody agrees to one thing - the prices to visual tests are bonkers when it comes to SaaS. We embraced the fact that people want flexible and cheap as much as they want fast and expensive. We will allow to run actual engine on your premises making our pricing significantly cheaper, we will allow storing images on your side which will again make it ridiculously cheap for you as you won't be paying markup that we otherwise could induce on those things.
3. not being protective of our codebase for core part of the offer. We want community to build the top-notch visual regression testing engine with us to serve the community!

Hope it sheds some light into bigger picture, otherwise Chris & I will definitely add the table for comparison with Chromatic & Percy. this is very legit point, thank you!

It seems to me that one of the biggest related problems with chess is that the quality of the player rating system has not kept pace with the development of the game.

If I am an ok player and memorize a complex line and a handful of tricks I can beat enough players to raise my rating. If I leave that line my rating will fall. Am I a better player?

The player rating systems might benefit from a “play style diversity” or “flexibility of approach” indicator to expose players that rely on one-weird-trick traps.
Fischer announced Fischer Random Chess in 1996, long after his retirement from competitive chess (1972). His reason for doing so in 1996 was very prosaic: he was simply no longer familiar with modern opening theory.
