Comments like this astonish me, a little. First that Apple is so good at advertising. Well done! Second, that a Macbook Air is the only form factor anyone could conceivably need? Or that macOS covers all use cases?

My (largely useless in this context) personal anecdote is that I spent $1029 for a gaming laptop. AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (8-cores, 16 threads), 16GB, 1TB, RTX 2060 6GB. Gets about 4-5 hours of battery doing normal stuff. Plugged in for gaming. (Yes, it runs all of my Steam collection!) It's very fast for everything I use it for. (I mostly work on my desktop, but I've used it for various development, etc. - Visual Studio Community, SQL Server Management Studio, VS Code, WSL/WSL2 and all Linux-based development I've done, photo editing, etc., of course it can run web browsers and be used to check email!)

Why wouldn't I buy a laptop that costs this much and can do so many things well? Because it doesn't work away from plugs for a day? But I live and work at home. Near lots of plugs!
How to Make a Roguelike (2018)
When you run out of space in a landfill you send some engineers and excavator operators out and dig a new one. The three reasons not to do that, as given by your article, are (paraphrasing) "permits and environmental regulations take a long time," "communities don't like it," and "it's bad for the environment."

If the rubbish starts piling up, in the US or elsewhere, then all three of those issues are going to be quickly ignored in favour of digging another hole and adding the bare minimum of leachate collection.
To caveat, Linux in a VM is decent enough for non GUI programs, Windows might have harder limitations on anything that wants GPU power or direct peripherics access, and Asahi Linux is a research project at this point.

We’re far far from the dual booting days, running a mac VM on a Windows machine is probably the holy grail of running every OS on a single machine at this point in time.

Hardware improvement slowed down considerably in the last 10 years. A Core i7-3970X from 2012 is still comparable to a typical notebook processor, or the fastest smartphone chips today, including the one in the Meta Quest Pro that was just announced.

But imagine the same happening between 1992 and 2002. 10 years there meant fundamental incompatibility. A 486 computer with 8 MB RAM and VGA graphics card was already a paper weight in 2002. No Windows XP and Warcraft 3 for you. A Core i7-3970X with a GeForce GTX 680 can still play the latest games at 1080p, including many DirectX 12 games, except for the ones that now require AVX2.

But to answer your question if we would have been stuck with 1992 technology the internet would have evolved differently, and mainframes would play a much bigger role, to the point that your desktop computer would be just a thin client, running the latest amazing software accelerated by mainframe computers. You would submit jobs from your computer, the mainframe would calculate it and get back to you.
This thread is old, just want to mention for anyone who runs across it, there is a FreeCAD workbench (like an extension) that is not installed by default I recommend checking out: it's called "Curves" and it is a huge improvement in productivity for me, almost as much as FreeCAD vs OpenSCAD in the first place.

One of the most powerful things about it is it lets you make two drawings at right angles and combine them to make a non-planar curve, as well as having a bunch of tools for manipulating results.

It may require watching some tutorial videos, but this seems to be how you reverse engineer complex curved shapes like, say, cars or other objects.

This is why I rarely ever bought dell pro support. It's easier to take the savings and buy an additional unit if anything ever goes wrong (assuming you buy enough machines to make this economical). After a while you really don't need dell support to help and it's cheaper and faster to just replace the ram/drive/backplane/server.

Yes, there were many more. Some were forms of BASIC, others were just unique systems. The issue for me was to decide which to list, and which not to. For the most part, I went for ones that were most used. Ones that were built into BASIC I treated as BASIC and did not include. Most of the others were either replaced by the manufacturers with later systems, or were replaced by CP/M. This happened even for systems in the 70s. I have a Heathkit that originally shipped with “HDOS” and Heath later made available CP/M. Starting with 1.3, then 2.0 and then 2.2.

The ones on mainframes I included due to TOPS-10 being the birth place of CP/M and therefore MS-DOS, DR-DOS, and FreeDOS. As the DECsystem-10 didn’t arise in a vacuum, I felt it necessary to include those earlier mainframes with DOSs.

The classic roguelikes can take many hours to complete and do not have any kind of between-run unlocking. By some common definitions, unlockable content makes a game not a roguelike. I wouldn't go that far, but I'd never call Vampire Survivors a roguelike, either.
Are you talking about tmux? Remap to Ctrl+Space. Ctrl+B is one of the worst defaults I could imagine. I wonder if they did it just because it's one higher than Ctrl+A from screen (which was much easier to type).

If you're not talking about tmux - also consider remapping if possible.

Just want to say that Discord and Slack do not solve the exact same problem as IRC. And here lies one of the most difficult aspects of protocols versus programs, protocols are much slower to adapt. Discord allows for a ton of functionalities that are not possible natively through IRC and it is a mistake to dismiss them.

On the other hand, discord and slack offer pretty much the same things that we already had with MSN messenger all the way back in 2008. Voice messages, image sharing, custom emotes, group chats, etc, etc. Although design lines have changed; client wise, I'm pretty sure you can make a discord clone that runs pretty similar in 2008 hardware. So it's not like I don't agree with the point you make here.

Processing and streaming video is, as you say, costly. And better hardware has helped a lot in this regard. Now a days it's possible to stream videogames. But this power that is now available to everyone is misused by most. Websites are bloated and they are dozens of megabytes on a lot of crap that doesn't really offer any tangible benefit to the end user. A lot of applications are slow and big, I think a lot of this problem comes from the culture fostered in the dev area where it's more important to ship new features than good features. In reality, managers care more about having lots of features shipped than for a developer to take a few days on just one feature so it performs well. Developers capable of doing both fast and good deployments are rare and this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

We should be spending much more time building performant tools that are easy to use, so that the heavy lifting is done where it needs to be. The idea of Electron is great, but the execution of it is bad; this is imo where the work should be done.
Perhaps it was all plastic surgery offshoots.

>and I suspect CO₂ monitors do even worse...

AFAIK most non-serious co2 monitors (ie. the ones you get for the home/office) have auto-calibration. They assume that the baseline co2 concentration is 400 PPM, and they'll auto-calibrate themselves to that level based on whatever the lowest concentration they saw in the past few days. For most living spaces (eg. home/office), this works because they'll be vacated at least once every few days (more typically once daily) so you can assume whatever low you saw is the ambient level.
Why is that the alternative you leap to? There are others.

I am probably closer to one of the "mini-cult of adherents who worship it with near-religious fervor" than I'd like to admit, but I make a kind of pilgrimage to sit under and stare at the F1 engine at my local museum every now and then. It's very much wormed into my consciousness _without_ any asbestos or foil wrapping:

https://steelcityelectronics.com/2017/02/07/powerhouse-museu...

(Not my pic, just one I found on DDG that fits with my memory of it)

As a cultist, I recall a similar story to the Fogbank one about the fuel pumps for thoe F-1 motors. Apparently in spite of having all the docs, we still needed to reverse engineer them from museum pieces to find out how to build new ones:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2013/04/how-nasa-brought-the...

Why was NASA working with ancient engines instead of building a new F-1 or a full Saturn V? One urban legend holds that key "plans" or "blueprints" were disposed of long ago through carelessness or bureaucratic oversight. Nothing could be further from the truth; every scrap of documentation produced during Project Apollo, including the design documents for the Saturn V and the F-1 engines, remains on file. If re-creating the F-1 engine were simply a matter of cribbing from some 1960s blueprints, NASA would have already done so.

A typical design document for something like the F-1, though, was produced under intense deadline pressure and lacked even the barest forms of computerized design aids. Such a document simply cannot tell the entire story of the hardware. Each F-1 engine was uniquely built by hand, and each has its own undocumented quirks. In addition, the design process used in the 1960s was necessarily iterative: engineers would design a component, fabricate it, test it, and see how it performed. Then they would modify the design, build the new version, and test it again. This would continue until the design was "good enough."

Further, although the principles behind the F-1 are well known, some aspects of its operation simply weren't fully understood at the time. The thrust instability problem is a perfect example. As the F-1 was being built, early examples tended to explode on the test stand. Repeated testing revealed that the problem was caused by the burning plume of propellent rotating as it combusted in the nozzle. These rotations would increase in speed until they were happening thousands of times per second, causing violent oscillations in the thrust that eventually blew the engine apart. The problem could have derailed the Saturn program and jeopardized President Kennedy's Moon landing deadline, but engineers eventually used a set of stubby barriers (baffles) sticking up from the big hole-riddled plate that sprayed fuel and liquid oxygen into the combustion chamber (the "injector plate"). These baffles damped down the oscillation to acceptable levels, but no one knew if the exact layout was optimal.
> Friendly reminder that modern, well regulated landfills are actually fine and there is plenty of space for them.

I guess this depends on your tax bracket and political bargaining power. I grew up smelling (and smelling like) solid waste trucked in from the waste treatment facility for the richer suburbs in a racially segregated metro area. The less PC way of sating that is "concentrated rich 95% white person shit".

And let me tell you: despite what they think, MD/JD/MBA shit does not smell like roses. The smell permeated the entire community for days at a time, every month. I also now have a whole set of recommended annual cancer screenings. All from a modern and well regulated landfill that is still in operation.

I shit you not: we had movie days in high school that corresponded with the worse smelling days. Just whole days/weeks of lost learning, regularly, because the whole place smelled like literal human shit.

Now I live in a snow white upper middle class suburb and those problems are behind me, but I'm still very conscious about where my waste really ends up and have gone to war in more than city council meeting about where our literal shit ends up.

But, again, if you have a FAANG salary then your shit and trash will be shipped to someone else's community and it's not your problem. Waste away! /s

That would also throw me, it seems intuitive from our land based experience that the flag blows backward with moving things as they push through the air. Like flags on cars. But sailing vessels are propelled by the wind, and usually move slower than the wind as well, so the flags would blow with the wind, forward. I'm sure sailors would not get confused about it, but for people who don't have that experience it seems counter-intuitive. Now if you had a sailing ship moving faster the wind, which is actually possible, I guess the flag would blow backward, well at an angle, because I think you have to be moving at an angle to the wind to go faster than it.

There are many Linux kernels and user-space stuff can be different.
Not upset but resigned I guess. Making do for now - typing this on my Macbook but my main desktop is Windows as is my work Laptop.

Could Windows have better battery life? Probably only by dropping backward compatibility and moving to a Linux kernel or something radical.
A lot of the marketing happens post launch and is thus low risk as you can adjust the budget based on sales performance. The same isn’t true for game development itself, which must be limited to a fixed budget based on anticipated future sales.

But somehow we keep changing smartphones and smart devices every 2 years or so. Is that just marketing, and the fact that older smartphones are obsolete because unsupported (and not because the hardware is not performant enough)?

Are there realistic benchmarks that quantify these gains?

A first view of the promise reads reminiscent to the JVM days, which promised to solve portability. The main difference is JIT vs. AOT, but hidden behind that remains also the complex management of FS access, threading, spawning, SIMD, GPU, and other unportable differences. While I imagine that the shim would avoid having a whole Linux, what do we lose in the change?
I'm not convinced that whole-disk encryption is sensible for most threat models, but I use the built-in FileVault on macOS (under the reasoning that, at the very least, it can't really hurt).

On Linux, I use age[1] (specifically, rage[2]) to encrypt sensitive files. I wrote a secret manager that uses the latter as an encryption backend[3], and I use `rage-mount` to mount (read-only) views of encrypted archives.

> It's a 100% win,

A 100% win would be not producing the plastics in the first place in order to not have this problem, and then producing heat via a renewable source.

Everything below that is less of a 100% win.

That is strictly false. It depends on the plastic. "Dioxins are just one of the many harmful emissions from incinerators. They are highly toxic and can cause cancer and damage to the immune system"

Framework did choose Intel even though AMD's offerings in the low-voltage laptop CPU space perform better (and perhaps don't have the problems we're hearing about here).

Maybe there were good reasons for that. Maybe it was parts availability or engineering support. The reasons aren't all that important to the end user though; Framework made that choice and bears responsibility for its consequences.
I also use it to run different versions of PostgreSQL without having to use docker.
Arguably, a MacOS/*nix system is relatively easier to port to another architecture.

Windows best selling point has always been backward compatibility with x86 and most prior generations of releases. Thus, Windows 10 is likely the final release of the product as far as we are concerned, and the current 11 release is considered nonviable... unless MS changes the current product trajectory.

Yes, correct. My method was just a shortcut which yields basically the same number because it all atoms of hydrogen, carbon, etc that are burned release the same amount of energy (but you do need to account for the binding energy of the molecule, which my method does not do).

I used it because I didn't immediately find data on the enthalpy of burning plastic in combination with CO2 released.

Plastic is also a hydrocarbon, so the binding energy will be quite similar to natural gas, so my method is sufficiently accurate.
