> For people who don't mind an ultra-brittle screen

Have had an M1 Macbook Pro for 2 years now. Dropped it several times from various heights up to 4ft. Dropped books on it a couple of times. Screen still intact. "ultra-brittle" is nonsense.

(And in the 10 years I've owned Macbooks, never have I broken a screen despite dropping, etc.)
More anectdata. 16" M1 MBP user here (first batch).

No problems with the screen. Travels with me literally everywhere I can take my backpack. No case.

Are you using your laptop as a frisbee?

As far as Apple tax, you pay for quality tools. In life you get what you pay for.
No way, the first one I understood the intent with a single pass, the second one had me jumping across all 3 lines to understand.

So you did illegal things illegally.

Yep. I said I don't understand people who do illegal things over their own connection, i.e., stupidly.

And who owned the public AP?

For what it's worth my Macbook Retina has survived mostly unscathed since 2012 with heavy daily use. Two battery replacements, fraying charging cables and some worn out key faces, that's about it. Then again, I'm sure later MacBooks might be less sturdy?
“ MacBook Pro with M2 Pro features a 10- or 12-core CPU with up to eight high-performance and four high-efficiency cores for up to 20 percent greater performance over M1 Pro.”
That is absolutely incorrect, Netflix does pay residuals[0].

Netflix is notorious for not allowing shows, even popular shows, to go beyond two seasons[1], so your subsequent paragraphs also seem to be incorrect.

It does make some difference for most streaming services who is responsible for the production costs of a show, but Netflix seems to have their own standard orthogonal to that, as they don't seem to cancel on the same basis as other services.

Absolutely. I felt this way at the time and I never stopped feeling this way. 2008-2020 always felt to me like an economic recovery for some (homeowners, investors, white-collar and tech workers), but stagnation or regression for others.

> I don't feel it has impacted me much at all.

Your post exemplifies exactly the problem I am describing.
Likewise; before my diagnosis it had gotten so bad that I seriously questioned if I was a sociopath. I mean, if I actually cared about people I’d fix my behaviour! I understand how crazy that is now, but wow, it felt like it must be true at the time.

I hope you’re making progress and unloading some of the externalized stuff. It’s really hard work!
I haven't read many of them, but the Star Trek Starfleet Corps of Engineers novels appear to basically be this.
Not for small screens, but for big, high density, low latency, almost always on screens.

So I consider it flashy for TVs and monitors.
Show HN: React component kit for headless CMS backed blogs
As a front-end developer who has built many UI's for headless-backed blogs, I always found myself doing the same things over and over so I decided to turn it into a component kit.

I know the market is likely super small, but if it helped me, I'm hoping it will help someone else out there.

Happy to answer any questions.
Libinput and the custom pointer acceleration function
No, but also consider that it's a pretty new project and is heavily based on Nvidia math libraries. some of these libraries don't have exact counterparts on the amd side.
"But at that point your argument is almost tautological"

Yes, that is the point: biodevelopment is deterministic and computational. Watch the Michael Levin video linked above: they cut the head of a planarian worm, it grows back a head; they cut the tail, it grows back a tail; they cut the tail and the head and change the bioelectric gradients, it grows back two heads or two tails.
Below you, everyone felt it and felt it hard, everywhere.
> just don't put all those resources into useless Mars, and instead try to save life on Earth.

_instead_ is the word I have a problem with. the idea that we must do one or the other. that either we fix climate change OR we go to Mars.
Is your intention in repeating that to keep Tor usage below the critical threshold where that remains true?
> It’s crazy how far ahead Apple is getting in the laptop game with these new chips.

Sure, but developing with Java up-to-16 is much slower with M1/M2 due to ports not being available, and Rosetta having to emulate. Datapoint: We develop plugins for Confluence and it’s about 1 minute to load each page.

I don’t think developing Java 11 is a corner case of using a Mac.
I feel like now it is just a given that I’ll hook up a hub to everything.

Even my thunderbolt 4 hub / dock … has another hubs for “lesser” devices.
I don't like that channel so much to be honest. The production value is good but it is filled with product endorsements and shiny new high-tech products
Agreed with your take on nihilism. But gen Z is 10x moreso. On average they are so Jaded. Theyve seen everything shocking under the sun (woman fucking horse? Check. Nun eating shit out of a priests ass. Sure. Eels in a vagina. Yep. Man beheaded by terrorists. Uh huh). And then with this over exposure to all the worst the world has to offer comes a sort of paradoxical closed mindedness. Where everything is "been there done that, ur idea sucks moving on."

So the result is this strange combination of extreme worldlyness and also naivete.
That'd be great if true. Human nature being what it is, chances are good that the ill thought out and in retrospect harmful will be deployed just as faster than "fully finished" as they are now.

Could that be iterated? Can a half baked release ever become whole or does progress just slow down and stretch out exponentially? 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ...

Will be grateful and relieved when proven wrong.
Or even something way simpler, like the FBI secretly compromising the user's PC with malware prior to the arrest. Without more detail it's impossible to know whether this is even news.
Agreed, a high end machine in the Air form factor would be great. The M2 is more than enough compute-wise for my SWE workflow, but it's not a great deal once you start bumping the RAM and adding storage when compared to the base 14 inch (+ the extra benefits you get with the 14" screen, etc).
Performance will be comparable to top Zen4 mobile CPUs at 45W TDP, just that Apple will use 50-60% less power in single-core and 20-30% power in multi core. That’s about it.
We aren't SOC2 compliant yet, but we are planning to do that this year. Yup, you can pass `depot build --load` (the same parameters you use with buildx) and we will return the built image to you. Or you can use `--push` and we will push it up to your registry.

Here is my direct email if anyone wants to chat/learn/share more about this problem space, kyle [at] depot.dev.
They could include both the improvement from the last Intel model and the previous Apple Silicon model, no?

EDIT: I see they actually do just that for some specific applications.
both snippets suffer from being stringly typed, that is not what is being discussed. Change the string types to something else mentally if it bothers you that much.

It was an example.

Unfortunately 49% of America are closet racists and can’t look past black people on tv. It’s really quite mind boggling. I consider myself an extreme nerd and yet I don’t have knee jerk reactions when I see a brown elf. I can only point to racism, possibly subconscious for most of the whiners.
This is so ignorant. Educate yourself on some building science.
can this run dual monitors?
hah, honestly the experience has me working on getting out of Ireland. It was a mistake to move here, and doubly one to sink money in to an extension to make our cottage more livable. If it helps, I don't think we're part of one-off ribbon development since the original cottage was 200+ years old. I understand now why the heritage officer was so delighted to meet some chump who didn't realize there's a reason houses in the midlands are so cheap.... and here I thought I was an easy bike ride from a train station with regular service to Heuston, how could it go wrong?

The extension is, in my view, quite nice. We tried to get away with some crazy newfangled ideas like "eaves" and "bug screens" but Ireland shot us down there. People think we're insane not building it out of cinderblocks already.

Speaking of that tight-knit rural community, mostly I know that people can break the law with no consequences and won't talk to anyone their family hasn't known for at least 3 generations. And walking is bizarre and dangerous; the councillor thought I was joking when I asked about getting a footpath to the village 700 meters away.

Of course, if Ireland weren't kicking and screaming about building apartments in the middle of cities neat jobs, schools, transport, and amenities, it would be in a much better position.

Would be happy to compare notes! Email is in my bio.
And since they use forums and they Russian -> must be hackers.
By classic I mean something somewhat standardized like user table: id, name, email ; post table: id, user_id, content etc.
This is false. Apple adjusted price for products when exchange rates changed. They don’t do it daily, usually it happens at product releases like today.
Makes sense from a performance standpoint. But what about development velocity? If the hypothesis is that wrestling with the borrow checker is a big drain on productivity, then bypassing it should restore that productivity.
I actually wondered about this on Twitter recently[1]. Do you remember caring about/recognizing the aesthetics of some of these ads at the time, or is that more of a modern perspective?

Crazy how everyone is sueing stability ai but no one is sueing openai. Is this how society rewards openness? This will just end up with more concentration of power
Well, you see, it requires effort.
In the mid 90s to early 00s, I loved looking at the ads in the Sunday newspaper from computer stores, and month by month you could see prices coming down for all components, if not week by week.

The pace was so torrid. They stopped even advertising the RAM for my ~3 year old Pentium 100 I had with 8MB of RAM. I was expecting to pay hundreds of dollars for an upgrade, but in the end an upgrade to 72MB was only about $70.
I have an M1 Pro MBP and Linux running on a Framework laptop.

The Linux built in package manager is only ok. It often lags behind in versions of things I need. I ended up using Homebrew on both Mac and Linux. For the cases the Linux built-in package manager is too out of date I use Homebrew. It's not perfect on either system.

> - Having (relative) parity between production and development

For certain classes of development this is a big deal.

For my container work it doesn't really matter. I'm running Rancher Desktop and doing container based dev in the VM. Windows, Linux, or Mac doesn't matter as the host.

> - No nagware (no Apple Music pop-ups, advertisements for safari, login nag in settings, et. al)

I must have learned to ignore this as I've had Macs for a couple decades now.

On the flip side, a lot of business software I must use for work isn't available on Linux. I think this is the biggest problem for GNU/Linux as a general OS. There's some biz software that just doesn't run there.
Well, not all the exit nodes by now. But many of them.

Most people are probably leery of running an exit node, because its traffic is in the clear (modulo ssh) and often connects to disparate and shady servers.
> Asdf + PDM are also nice tools to work with multiple projects/Py versions easily.

I haven't heard of either of these but they seem interesting. I'll look into them. Thanks.

*EDIT* Oh, man! I've just been using just pip like a muggle, until now.
Well, neither a picture is really "the same" if it's encoded in different formats, say, JPEG or PNG.

While on the topic, how about any books or courses that teach building a 3D game engine from scratch? I'm language agnostic, so any language is fine.

>Until it starts generating PROFIT, anything else like: clean code, unit testing etc, makes zero sense. And also for the record, whenever I'm trying to figure out where something went wrong, commit are not the thing I look at, it's the code changes in the commit.

Look, I work in a "squash commits, messages are for detailing tickets" place. I can understand not liking commit messages (although you really should, they are comments for your changes!). But this whole idea of "it's okay to have completely awful code because you are still growing :)" is how you get permanent spaghetti that costs absurd amounts of money to fix. There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, and deluding yourself into thinking uncommented, messy, untested, godawful code is acceptable "for now" will never end.

Maybe I could excuse this if it was just commit messages being automatically the ticket names or at least some idea of what is happening. Making it "commit" is a horrendous idea. Why are you sabotaging your future self by not describing what you are doing in a commit message? Just to save 10 seconds per commit via your script?
> If Swedish residents can work fewer than 40 hours at their discretion, why is it you think most in your circle do not take advantage of this?

Maybe because they want the money and working 40hrs isn't so bad? But i really have no idea.

That survey isn't directly related to your original point about working less than 40hrs.

If you are claming that its much different in other countries mere existence of some law isn't enough, it would be a stronger point if you had quoted how many people are actually taking a paycut in those countries in exchange for a day off.

Also sounds like you haven't really looked into laws of MOST first world countries ( whatever that means) yet you made that claim without any proof.
I don't know what to call it on the consumer end, but on the builder side, it's often just laziness and greed. If they don't know how to work with a material, then it sucks. If it's hard to hire subs that know how to build something, then it doesn't meet code and won't pass inspection. If they misbid it, it will never work and needs to be redesigned.

In short, building contractors are a lot like software developers. There are some who keep up with the new materials and building systems and are excited to see new design techniques, and there are others who feel a sense of personal grievance that what they learned before they were thirty won't carry them all the way to retirement.
It has hdmi and thunderbolt so you could connect to both at a minimum most likely.
> This is no different from a painter using a photograph of a subject to create a portrait, which is subsequently sold.

> Or recording a song on the radio to learn to play the guitar, then using that song as inspiration to write a new song.

I’d argue that it is very different from those things.

The AI software is not human, and the precedent set for painters and musicians is based on a foundation of human capability.

It’s no different in the same way a horse drawn carriage is no different from an F1 race car.
Your comments are also just anecdotes, except that they are second-order, based on your anecdotal impression of what you've read.

From my experiences living within it, I don't think US society is actually the way you have become convinced it is from your experiences reading and watching things about it. Both of our beliefs are just anecdotal experiences.

We could get closer to the truth with a bunch of sociology and anthropology, but financially there is no randomized controlled trial for this kind of question.
Solving things faster is not always the goal. I make a point to fully "rubber-duck" the problem before asking for help. Is this slower, yes. Does this build deep knowledge in a way that is superior to just being handed the answer, absolutely. Knowledge comes from direct experience - if you always rely on someone else's direct experience to get the job done, you might move faster in the short term but are missing out on a vital part of learning.
Doesn't the tor browser disable javascript entirely?
Wouldn't they need to know who he is before they could target him and acquire his IP? Unless your suggesting parallel construction?
I think this here is the key. Automation (not globalisation) has removed many entry level and low so jobs. At the same time we have artificial scarcity through regulations in the housing market to keep neighborhood character and see the cost of required services that cannot be automated easily like health care and education go up and up. Instead of increasing wealth redistribution to compensate for the wealth centralization from automation, we reduce mechanisms that transfer wealth to supposedly cut cost and because regulation is local but capital is global.

For those on the M2 Pro mac mini path, the Mac Studio looks a look more appealing. 32GB RAM, Max CPU and more ports for the same money. Will have to wait for benchmarks, but seems like more computer for the money if you upgrade the mini
>The important point is that the anecdotal observations do not apply universally.

We are probably reading their comment somewhat differently. Because of the way they couched their statement as rooted in their personal experience, I assumed their were implying it was anecdotal and obviously not a generalizable, objective truth.
For me MacBookPro with M2 chips would be perfect if the 13in model allowed 64GB RAM. My workflow requires me to run Docker (intel images) heavily with several containers. Having a virtualization layer is pretty resource consuming. Usually the Docker + containers I use take around 5GB RAM alone.

Under that configuration I've found 32GB to be just within the limit of usability. 16GB are just not enough. Also, for some virtualized Docker workflows, there is that known issue of slow File interaction through the Mac/virtualized file system, which makes working with say Magento, Drupal or simlar software REALLY slow.

As a comparison, I've also got a 2011 intel MacBookPro with 16GB RAM. That one is running Linux Mint. Docker performance is almost transparent, and the system runs pretty snappy for development.
I'm also still on the MacBook Pro M1 and it's amazing. But this new one makes me drool. I am happy to see MagSafe back and the SD card slot and USB-C ports on both sides.

Now someone grab my arms before I dump water on this keyboard.
A few misleading statements here: it was RJs wife who picked Sanderson, after RJs death. Additionally, RJ had the last scenes written well before he even knew he had cancer. I believe he mentioned having it written while writing the very first book.
Yes, in tech specs:

https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/

And up to three monitors for certain models.
Additionally, it should be noted that mainframe IBM COBOL has also continued to be updated and extended, to the extent that it has native support for JSON serialization/deserialization for building web services.

There is an enormous amount of new COBOL being written even for mainframes.

There is almost certainly a large market for COBOL on .NET if it managed to replicate some of the functionality IBM added on top of the standard.

A better term for COBOL (and mainframes for that matter) would be niche, not legacy. It's the best language for a very particular subset of business problems, and there hasn't really been much attempt to replicate that functionality by newer languages, and so COBOL remains in use. There simply is not much overlap between the folks coming out of school interested in language design/theory and those that are aware of COBOLs continued dominance in certain types of business.

It's also ruthlessly efficient compared to something like Java or .NET, and even beats out C by a wide margin in certain scenarios. That isn't as important if your not laying mainframe licensing fees, but it is a common headache that makes migration to some of the current virtualization based modernization platforms a headache.
It was a freaking _EXAMPLE_ done in shorthand.
You’ll have to wait until 3rd parties do those comparisons?

Apple has literally never posted “here’s a ream of benchmarks vs the Dell XPS XYZ and HP modelnumbersneeze738462” — pretending this is indicative of some grand conspiracy to hide performance deficiencies of these new M2 models the way GP is, is silly.
I feel like whatever point the author is trying to make is heavily obscured by his tone, style, and try-hard attempts at humor.
All the more reason to dig up all the cemeteries in the world, use the soil for fertilizer, and build low-cost housing on the land. Nobody to complain but the dead...

What really pushed me towards Apple is that Lenovo offers a very limited set of configurations to us Europeans. No way to get the best machine from them, even if we're willing to pay for it.
It is a volume+timing attack. From 2014:

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28573625

"The Tor Project suggests the perpetrator compromised the network via a "traffic confirmation attack".

This involves the attacker controlling both the first part of the circuit of nodes involved - known as the "entry relay" - as well as the exit relay.

By matching the volumes and timings of the data sent at one end of the circuit to those received at the other end, it becomes possible to reveal the Tor user's identity because the computer used as an entry relay will have logged their internet protocol (IP) address."
In other words, they're absolutely using the Intel machine to bury the lede.

Apple is now facing the same struggle as AMD and Intel. They have a generational processor product that relies on new silicon to get faster, and they can't get new silicon fast enough. The M2 was basically just a wattage-bump of the M1, and looking at the performance increase/processor count, I'm inclined to call the Pro/Max the same thing. You're telling me you added 2 cores to a 10 core system for a 20% performance increase? Wow, color me surprised.

The whole thing feels like Apple's lack of humility here is biting them in the ass. There's nothing wrong with paving your own path in the tech industry, but mocking your competitors is not what a reasonably-educated analyst does. It's what someone in marketing does.
Pandas (and, yes, Python) continues to blow my mind! Thanks for sharing!
disappointed to see them still selling these with 8gb RAM. More than a dozen chrome tabs and a few discord servers has been enough to crash/significantly slow down my m1 mac mini

edit: the ad says up to 24/32GB of ram, but seems like 8gb/16gb models are the only ones available for pre-order at the moment.
If it is not "Ships from amazon.com" and "Sold by amazon.com", I don't usually buy it.

Sometimes I'll buy a "Ships from amazon.com" and "Sold by XYZ Corp", but only if I recognize "XYZ Corp" as a reputable firm.

Customer ratings and reviews as a crowdsourced reputation mechanism is pretty unreliable. The Q&As are sometimes more informative.
All of the Mac minis can do 2 monitors, the new M2 Pro one can do 3

If we can all agree it's an interesting topic of discussion, we can set aside debating the semantics of whether it is a "trick" and let the author express themselves using the words of their choosing. Policing the definition of trick is surely not curious conversation.
