> The few with money are still a fairly large class. They are also paltry in wealth as compared to the masses aka govt spending.

Governments must spend much more of their treasure chest (when they have one) than billionaires and are scrutinized more heavily. Risks are not the same. Ultra rich are way more capable of corrupting governments than the masses which gives them even more power.
If you're going to make assertions, you can put numbers and sources behind them.

E.g. "The richest 10% of the global population own 76% of all wealth." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59565690

I’m not the GP, but them becoming a teacher isn’t likely to have any particular effect on their own kids, right?

It’s best for their own kids if mom/dad makes good money and can pay for things like private school or tutoring.
No, based on their keybindings it sounds like they use dwm, a window manager which you have to compile yourself, configure yourself in a .c source file, and comes without window decorations by default, I believe. It's neat but made for 0.1% of computer users at most.

Although I want to add the "Windows Key + Left/Right Mouse Button" bindings are incredibly convenient and should be supported by every OS by default imho. The area you have to hit with the mouse cursor to resize a window turns from "a few pixels in the window corner" to "the entire damn window no matter if there's a button or not".
I usually have music going in the background instead, which I would guess a lot of people would find just as annoying.
I tried them a few times but plugs are just not my thing;
the quality is horrendous; they are overpriced; connect badly or not at all to non apple device; and break easily.

> can’t hold a charge for more than a few days of standby

I don't own a Framework, but also have the battery draining for no reason issue on mine. I think the cause is the new "modern standby", where the laptop doesn't actually sleep. Windows mitigates this by switching to hibernation if you leave it "asleep" for a while and unplugged.
I'm on a 6850U Ryzen Windows machine and it's really smooth. Previously I too was using an 11th gen XPS 13 but on Linux, where battery was approximately 2 hours long.
This machine feels both smooth, cool and for my usages there's no slowdowns on battery either (usually running few browser windows, a VM that's not taxed too hard and an IDE).

> What do people use it for, if I may ask? I configure everything to use vim-style editing, so maybe that's why.

To toggle overwrite mode in word processors, and funnily enough, in vim.

It's muscle memory now. Pres "i" to start writing, use insert to toggle between "REPLACE/INSERT" mode.

This is a good point, the author wrote:

All we know is that he went to the Apple store. It is not clear whether or not he described his issue while he was getting a replacement AirPod from that store.

Two Stories for "What Is CHERI?"
While I too agree with norms in general, there is such a thing as common sense.

And common sense might tell you that waiting at a lone traffic light in the outskirts of a town in the early morning, sun rising, no car in sight for some hundred meters in each direction, does not add value to society?
Yes. It's fantastic—the best portable dev machine on the market. My only complaint is the bezel, but it's ignorable.
I’d argue that the majority of people have some desire to be good at their job, and take some pride in that. Competition is a terrible substitute for an effective culture, especially in environments dominated by externalities such as the entire lives of the children that are taught. I doubt many teachers spend much time checking other classrooms to see who is best, they have more important work to be getting on with
I'm not buying that argument at all.

Today there are a ton of cheap 2nd hand console available on different markets, and much thanks to hard-copies they still bring plenty of enjoyment for a cheap coin. The latter also allows access to games no longer published or available for sale.

Cloud gaming will ensure older games will be entirely at the mercy of the streaming provider to keep them up to date and compatible with their technology. Once not, they're gone forever.

Experiences generally differ depending on location, who you end up dealing with, etc.
When is an Apple product truly yours, really?
okay, well I'm not a linguist. I wouldn't have chosen to make a dedicated word for a self-portrait picture in an official context over something practical like a singular gender-neutral pronoun. I wouldn't have chosen to make a word's extra definition be its own antonym because people can't help but engage in hyperbole. But society shapes language and its collective usage drives what words are "official".

Inaccurate or not, it's understood by people what "tech debt" means and the point of communication is to express ideas to others. Even if it spits on the queen's english, it furfills its goals. I lack the clout and energy to try and oppose and change such ideas (and to be frank, it wouldn't make the top 50 of things I would influence if given those factors).
A police report made before or right around when the activation lock was implemented could be a pretty good indication on whether or not it's been stolen.
I managed to remove activation lock by proving that I was the original owner (invoice) of the MacBook.

Was that no option?
I, for one, would be interested in the code.
I once ran into a bug that only happened in a specific version of the linux kernel when combined with a specific version of the java JDK, worse 2-3 weeks of troubleshooting of my life.

We found an issue in the kernel bug tracking that seems to explain it, but we never confirmed for sure. Fortunately updating either of those things fixed the issue. This was of course also hard because this was back in the golden days of vmware managed by client's IT team, so getting them to update things on a VM was hell as well.
I think you should specify development of what exactly? Videos? Backend Software? Front end? Firmware? Mobile Apps? Games? 3D assets?

I doubt there isn't already enough information and options online and via HN search about M2 Mac's used for development.
I use M2 Air with 24GB RAM for Backend and frontend development using TypeScript and React. Also have a Redis and PgSQL running under docker compose. A couple of browsers running with 20-30 tabs open. Teams and a couple of office programs running too. Didn't face any issues.

Many people in our company use M1 or M2 Air with 16GB RAM for iOS, Android or Flutter development. No one mentioned any productivity issues as such.
I created a Wordle Solver app: https://best-wordle-solver.vercel.app/

Code: https://github.com/rbjakab/wordle-solver

If you get stuck with solving Wordle, just type-in the words that you've already tried, set the statuses and on the right you can see recommended words to try out.

What to add: I want to put a backend behind it, so I can list the words for you not just randomly, but sorted by their information value. The more a word could narrow down the list of words after it was used, the higher its rank.
If you want to run an LLM locally then an M2, otherwise this.
Possibly. But personally, I don't think the generosity of any severance package is a deal-breaking factor in most people's decisions to work for a company or not. Or for most people getting a job offer, that the company has reneged on some recent offers -- there are far more fundamental questions than those specific actions.

You are absolutely correct. It is a horrible mess.

Which is why Homeassistant is a godsend - you can add the mess and present it in a sensible way. As long as you stay the fuck away from anything cloud you are pretty much golden no matter what the parent company decides to do.

E.g. Telldus had a huge range of 433mhz things that still work IF you avoided their TelldusNet or whatever.

Yeah about 2 years, I think it was just outside their warranty by a few months. The original experience was very frustrating and really put me off apple. That trust hasn't been recovered but I'm glad I know my rights now.
What I miss with scrollbars is being able to jump to a certain spot on the page, e.g. 75% down the page.
I've had the exact same issue and this was the resolution - they swapped the replacement AirPod again and the new replacement worked as expected.
In short, yes, that's probably the right approach, unless another person comes to Apple to prove they legally are the new owners (I'd imagine Apple contacting the registered adress, and requiring proof if there is a response)

For more background on this, the fact that you actually have the laptop in your possession is the key point:

Couldn't get my AirPod Pros to stay in with any of the tips I could find. Tried silicone, foam, all shapes and sizes, different amounts of pressure and depth in ear, but nothing worked. They'd just slowly creep out and eventually drop out, especially if I spoke.

Regular 2nd gen AirPods are like glued in though, I could headbang or do handstands and they wouldn't go anywhere. Go figure...
Screen sharing works in Firefox, but sometimes the (terrible) websites/apps only care about Chromium, even though it'd work on Firefox.
I just take it for granted that using any Apple device means activating Find My for it and with the same iCloud account.

And my iCloud account is sacred just like my password manager's master password.

> The better question is why would someone buy a computer that is so user-hostile it requires "activation"?

It's user hostile but owner friendly.

> Imagine buying a car that requires activation from the manufacturer, and they could permanently disable it at any time if someone stole it.

I would absolutely buy that car. If you want it now, you can purchase OnStar [0] which proves that enough people want it. "Once law enforcement confirms your vehicle has been stolen, our Advisors use GPS to help authorities find your vehicle. But that’s just the beginning. When it’s safe, we’ll work with authorities to remotely slow it down.* And with Remote Ignition Block™,* we can also remotely prevent a thief from restarting your vehicle."

Tech geeks tend to assume everybody wants to live in anarchy. I absolutely think every car should have a remote slower to eliminate the risk of most car chases.

The author doesn't answer because that "question" is blatant and manipulative nonsense. Don't fall for it.

What worries me more than billionaires funding learning initiatives is how many people fall for this kind of "reasoning" when it's about something they're primed to not like - where they'd reject it in any other context.

I mean, seriously. Small children will touch a hot stove only once, yet try to walk despite repeatedly tripping up. Obviously they don't learn from experience.
I meant reflecting on why other people like them, understanding the needs and likes of other people. Understanding where the value of a product comes from.

If you are worried about your career prospects built a portifolio with what you want to work in the future. If your mental state with the project doesn't allow you to work in arcane bugs full-time, reserve some time for personal learning and portifolio building, but keep working full-time.

A good personal open source project is worth more when interviewing than anything else really. Can't fake that in an interview.

Same machine with 16GB of Ram. Everything is great. No issues at all. Best dev machine ever.
Common sense let me think you need to calculate the value of the data that OpenAI receives. But the article quickly goes into a comparison between OpenAI, which is highly optimised for the AI workload versus the pricing of an instance at AWS. AWS, renowned for their hefty cost and in the center of the cloud repatriation movement. That alone kills the argument that OpenAI is 'too cheap'.
That is indeed how insurance works, you lose something and they reimburse you, thanks for the clarification.

I thought that you meant the insurance company would reimburse for a mac that was returned to you without physical damage but locked by Apple.
I mean, what for? Sure, synchronizing books, yeah. I do that, then turn the wifi off. It's just draining battery for no reason. Perhaps synchronizing your notes to the cloud if you use the ereader as a tablet, that I could see for heavy note takers.
The problem with tech people in education is that they can only think in paradigms that can "scale". If Zuck's mission was to "build a better school" and scale that out with better trained and incentivized teachers (the non-scaling part), the approach would be radically different.

Instead, the mission is to fix education as a whole and make it work for every person in the world. Which leads to looking in a complete different part of the solution space.

You're confusing "energy" and "electricity", as well as "primary vs final", both of which make things seem worse now and less likely to change in future.

I thought the article I linked explained it well, but to summarize quickly:

Moving heating and transport to electric reduces our energy needs dramatically, about a 4x difference. So if your energy is 80% fossil then you only need to double the 20% low carbon sources to account for 100% of your needs (while at the same time saving 100,000 lives and 1Trillion dollars in lung related health costs amongst other benefits)

The new electric generation we need to build will be the cheapest currently available, which is renewables. In the US the new energy generation is already above 90% carbon free, and even the new gas built is designed to be run intermittently.

America is at 60% fossil on its grid, which is 40% gas and 20% coal. This isn't great (it's ironic how often people here complain about the dirty Chinese grid when it would be the middle of the pack if it was a US State) but luckily the states with most of the people and energy use are moving quickly and the pace is increasing.
Not that you're wrong, but IMO the moving and resizing complaints are resolved by the Ubuntu behavior of (IIRC) alt-leftclick-drag and alt-middleclick-drag. It completely eliminates the need to find any special target within the window: just click anywhere inside it.
Aren't the keys you press visibly different from the others after a while? This is a failure mode I've noticed on several code pads. Even though you don't know the exact code, it gives the numbers so you now only have to guess the order.
As that one kid on 56k while everyone else was on broadband. You didn't miss what you think you missed. Being the worst in the group may not be better than not being in the group at all.

but I hope cloud gaming can deliver that.
What you are going to notice is the jump from Intel to Apple Silicon. It's like living in another world.
that really bugs me any time i have to use a Windows computer. on linux (on pop os or zorin os at least) you just hold down the super/windows key and then left click and drag anywhere on the window to move it.

pop os also puts a thick border around that active window which makes it much easier to see where you are
They're not the same ideas, they don't look a priori stupid, and you won't know for sure until you try.

The only stupid thing is following this absurd "argument" from the article. Kids, stoves. Seriously, what the fuck? Giving up on things after first negative experience is no way to live a life - literally, you would not survive to adulthood if you followed that brilliant idea.
And the best thing is that they speak zigbee and you can ditch their hubs and use homeassistant if you want to avoid any lock-in!

I've actually had two Ikea Trådfri switches break though - they are cheap enough to replace but bit bothersome.

I believe the Solokey meets your definition. The hardware schematics are open, as is the software running on it.

The Precursor is also open hardware and software.

If you trust any smartcard at all running a Javacard-compatible operating system, there's also https://github.com/BryanJacobs/FIDO2Applet .

And of course if you're truly paranoid you can get a FPGA and implement a hardware security key on that. The overall security posture would likely be weaker, but you could be confident, hopefully, that nobody has put some kind of backdoor into the hardware you designed yourself to run atop a generic array of logic gates.
"Again, those kids left behind..."

It seems that you suppose that keeping those kids in "normal" school is better for them than moving them to some schools tailored to their needs.

There is nothing obvious about that. Removing the worst disruptors from standard classes may be a win-win. People are diverse and cannot be all served by a one-size-fits-all school type.
> Why would I go the roundabout way of selling one of my laptops in Mexico, when I have money in my bank account that I can use directly.

Yeah. Those screws are tiny. I was lucky in that I bought a set of screwdrivers especially for dealing with small electronics. Unfortunately I was unlucky in that my two machines only had three screws left between them!

https://github.com/thasaleni/song-association
I was making a game based on Elle Magazine's song association (YouTube Game)
- In the YouTube game a guest gets a word and has 10 seconds to sing a song with the word in the lyrics (the requirement is that he must get to the part with the given word within 10 seconds)
- My game in flutter displays a word, and lets the player sing into the mic while running a countdown and converting the audio to text (if it gets to the word in the lyrics within 10 seconds it stops) then it looks up the lyrics via GeniusAPI if it finds a match that is a point, if it doesn't that is a loss
also if you don't get to the word within 10 seconds that is a loss

I intended to make this multiplayer but I got busy in the early stages and kind of abandoned it, intend to get back to it soon
Let me ChatGPT that for you ;)

* Sisu (Finnish): Though not a direct equivalent, "sisu" refers to a blend of determination, resilience, and courage in the face of adversity. It's doing something against the odds, putting extra effort, and not giving up.

* Gaman (Japanese): A term that loosely relates to enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity. It can apply to doing meticulous, quality work even when situations are challenging.

* Jugaad (Hindi): Jugaad speaks to a creative or innovative fix; essentially finding a low-cost solution to a problem in an intelligent way. It reflects a spirit of resourceful improvisation and can indicate a pride or savvy in being able to solve problems with limited resources.

* Arbejdsglæde (Danish): This word directly translates to "work happiness" and denotes finding joy and satisfaction in the work you do.

* Mānawa (Maori): This is used to describe patience and perseverance, particularly in working toward a goal or mastering a skill.

Hey HN!

I've always been a fan of GitHub achievements. They add a touch of gamification to our coding lives, and there's something immensely satisfying about seeing a new badge pop up after you've hit a milestone.

However, I've often felt that there's so much more potential here. Why limit ourselves to the achievements GitHub offers? Imagine having achievements for quirky milestones like "Merged a PR on Friday 13th" or "Closed an issue opened 3 years ago". The possibilities are endless!

With this thought, I've started a custom project where everyone can contribute and add new achievements. It's open-source, community-driven, and I genuinely believe it could be a fun and engaging addition to our GitHub experiences.

I'm extending an invitation to all of you. Let's co-create. Whether you have a knack for design and can help with badge designs, or you've got ideas for cool achievements, or even if you just want to code and contribute in any way, I'd love for you to join on board.

This isn't just about adding more badges; it's about celebrating the little (and big) moments in our developer journeys. Let's make GitHub a little more fun, together!
