My favorite device is an android phone these days.

With termux, I can get most of my work done right away. This is especially true since I switched from VS Code to yazi+helix in the command line as an IDE.

The rest of what I need works in a proot ubuntu instance[1]

Also, since Android 13, the overall OS is pretty good with floating windows.

Some brands (Samsung, Honor, etc.) have full on desktop experiences now with kb+m. Google is slow rolling this into core android since 2017, though, to protect their Chromebook market.

I don’t think I really miss AOL chats, but it was an experience/lifestyle that will probably never be experienced by any other generation. I’m not a big Discord guy but it doesn’t seem quite the same.
Here's a less-paywalled article: https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/06/grubmarket-has-acquired-go...
That’s the one use that I would see go to AirBnB for.

But for me it’s not longer even an option if hotels are available. The last few years have only turned up places that cost the same as a hotel or more.
There's plenty of American cities from 50k-300k, that's not a uniquely European thing.

None of the jobs where I grew up were in the city (Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton, largest employers were all suburban campuses save for the electric company and some colleges. Even the hospitals were off the highway.).

All the fun stuff was in the city though, so that's where we'd go once you got a friend of driving age.

On a big open-source project like Kubernetes, they're probably happy with the tradeoff between "some exported names have inane and obvious comments" and "our linter requires open-source contributors to document their exported names in a consistent way."
> If you just need a room for the night, sure, of course you should book a hotel. Airbnb never made sense in that case to begin with.

That was literally the origin story and first iteration. "Crash on someone's couch or in their spare bedroom."
It's not even a million population. Certainly would never call San Jose or San Francisco a metropolis.
Local and global anesthesia use it often, actually even though you'd think it's the anesthesiologist that uses it (because they are known to be drug fiends) usually it's the surgeon who makes use of cocaine. I remember in my medical training that old surgeon Dr. Jackson, he'd have that thick moustache that'd always look like it'd been dragged through flour. But then he'd say "let me show you how to do surgery young paduans" and I'll be damned if he didn't perform 18 whipples, 13 trepinations, and 32 colonostomies in an hard-drivin' 48 hour continuous surgery jamboree

Don’t live in SF, but was a frequent visitor. During the day you’ll be fine if you don’t look like a dumb tourist and mind your own business. Some of SF’s main cultural attractions are in “rough” neighbourhoods like Chinatown. As night falls and the street life thins out, you probably don’t want to wander the areas like the tenderloin or most dark red places on this map: https://gisgeography.com/san-francisco-crime-map/ but even the vast majority of the crime there is petty. You’re still unlikely to be a victim of violent crime, but the chances are higher that you’ll be assaulted by somebody desperate for a fix.

The actual violent crime rates in SF are still below the national average, but the drug issues are just very, very visible.
A long time ago, I bought an Acer Chromebook off of Groupon for $100. It was surprisingly performant despite being woefully underpowered. The screen wasn’t big but was bright and had a nice resolution. I too was able to get Crostini up and running but hit the limit with certain windowed apps.

I’ve been on the hunt for a Chromebook these days but they feel like poor value to me these days. They tend to have bad speakers, resolution, and frequently processors that run hot and much worse battery life than the Acer.

They seem like a worse value today because I expected them to be cheap and run all day while letting me browse the internet quickly. They can do that but at a much higher price and at that point you’re looking at a used MacBook Air or a Windows device.
Emacs can do that quite easily[1]. But this code is not merged into the trunk yet, it should be some time this year.

I'll rehash some of the complaints others have mentioned. Unless its a larger group, it really doesn't make sense to use vs. a hotel. Even if price is constant, there's just a bit more friction with AirBnB. Sometimes its easy, but other times you're trying to find the code that you have to enter for the key. Then I have to find the rules for the property to make sure I cleaned it according to their standards (while paying a cleaning fee?). At a hotel, I go up to the front desk, they give me a key, and then I return it at the end.

One thing that is not ever mentioned is that there is no reward (that I am aware of) for being a frequent user of AirBnB's. If I go to Marriott/Hilton/Hyatt hotels regularly, I can earn benefits and travers up their tier list for benefits. Not sure I have seen anything like that with AirBnB.

But YC's business model is funding companies which will be that big. Otherwise it can't work.
> SF was overflowing with startups on every corner.

Can you name a handful of known startups headquartered in SF in the early 2000s?

I tried searching for stats on this but it seems more difficult than I have time for. So I turned to chatgpt, which (FWIW) agrees with my recollection:

In the year 2000, Silicon Valley startups were predominantly located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly in cities like Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San Jose. San Francisco itself was not as prominent a hub for tech startups at that time.

While exact percentages are difficult to ascertain without specific data, it is generally understood that a relatively small percentage of Silicon Valley startups were headquartered within San Francisco city limits in 2000. The tech startup scene in San Francisco began to grow significantly later, particularly in the mid-2000s and beyond.
> I suspect the reason why most big LLMs have ended up in a pretty verbose spot is that it's easier for users to scroll & skim than to ask follow-up questions

Maybe it's a 'technical' user divide, but that seems wrong to me. I would much rather a succinct answer that I can probe further or clarify if necessary.

Lately it's going against my custom prompt/profile whatever it's called - to tell it to assume some level of competence, a bit about my background etc., to keep it brief - and it's worse than it was when I created that out of annoyance with it.

Like earlier I asked something about some detail of AWS networking and using reachability analyser with VPC endpoints/peering connections/Lambda or something, and it starts waffling on like 'first, establish the ID of your Virtual Private Cloud Endpoint. Step 1. To locate the ID, go to ...'
People still put spare rooms in their house on Airbnb, and you can still book them. It will be a lot cheaper than a hotel. But that's not what anyone really means when they are talking about Airbnb anymore. The vast majority are looking for a private space.
No one wants you zipping around them on a suitcase in general, I dont think a speed limit helps (also enforcement). A complete ban makes sense for the same reason you can't ride your bicycle or scooter in the airport.
Enforcement is not worth the benefit of allowing luggage scooters.

You've got to have "police" everywhere who need to be trained to identify when someone is going too fast. Who does enforcement? Actual police? You need a lot more police than normal. Airport staff? They're not enforcers. They keep the carts in the right location and bathrooms tidy. But, let's say you can have enforcers. So enforcer says slow down, kid says okayyyyyyy and then goes fast again right out of eye sight. But speed limits on the luggage! No way, so add an on/off button to comply because no one wants to buy only a slow luggage, but you've still got that person who "won't airplane mode".

Repeat offenders? Now you've just confiscated their luggage. That's gonna be good.

In this scenario, electric luggage == actual scooter. You don't ride actual scooters through an airport, but I've seen so many electric luggage scooters.

I admit they're cool af and everytime I see someone on one I'm jelly. They're their own advertising. But they're at an airpot and it's crowded for the speed. I'm already stressed enough - I don't need your kid running into me at speed.
I think what is always lacking in these reviews is: compared to what?

I’m always curious to see what other devices authors have used prior to this “best device”.

For example, I started with a 2010 MacBook Pro, then a T430 Thinkpad, then a dell, then a desktop computer, then Apple finally fixed the butterfly keyboard so now I use a 2021 MacBook Pro.

In my experience nothing comes close to the trackpad of the MacBook. But I haven’t tried something like a Framework or a Chromebook. So maybe those are better.

I really wish there was a “rent a laptop” service where you could check out a different laptop every month and see if you really like it.
With the official linter (golint), exported types must be commented, so sometimes you get Captain Obvious comments like this.

I'm going to assume your work requires your physical presence on that ship, in the deep sea, though. My work, however, does not. Further, employers are, on the whole, cheap, and want to pack workers into as small a footprint as possible. (Literally, 4' or less.) I can build a better work environment at home, for under $1k.

"My [unrelated] job is worse" is not a logical reason for me to abstain from advocating for better work conditions for myself, where there is a possibility of better work conditions. I can dislike things about one tech job vs. another tech job while still appreciating that the conditions of either job probably far exceed that of a career I wouldn't like.

(And, I would also still default to advocating for sane worker's rights in your industry too, unless there is some compelling reason that working >8h/d, 7d/wk makes some sort of sense in your industry.)
It's a little hard to understand what the post is talking about until you play with the demo, which I recommend doing. As the items are dragged and near other labels, slow down to see the other labels displace. You can start stacking labels on top of each other to see how it handles displacing more than one label.

The idea is that text needs to be placed next to an item its describing but might overlap with other text labels. If you're allowed to move the other text labels up and down a bit, what algorithm should you use to "optimally" place the text as much in line with the labels they're sitting next to but not overlapping with other text labels? This post looks to define a cost function and provide a linear time algorithm to minimize it optimally.

The big difference for me is that Airbnbs have kitchens. Any trip more than 1-2 days in length is greatly improved when I can buy basic groceries and cook rather than have to eat every single meal at a restaurant. Because of that the overall cost works out to be cheaper as well.

This is an honest question, since my childhood was squarely in the 1980s, but how can you possibly not?

Why don't programmers like nature? Because it has too many bugs!
I can imagine them being useful in a datacenter, yeah. So far for my own use it's been nice for writing at my nearby coffee shop, because it takes up less space on the table than a full-sized laptop and the small screen seems to help avoid distractions (so far, haven't had it for that long, etc).

And I don't travel long distances that often, but it probably fits better on train or airplane tray tables than a bigger laptop would too. I'm always worried the person in front of me will recline a bit when my laptop's in just the wrong spot and it'll shatter my screen from the top, haha.
I always say thankyou. Got three raw burgers at a restaurant this summer and just asked for them to be cooked. They gave us new ones, took an hour longer. Still tipped 20% and thanked them sincerely and said not to worry about it. The waiter got choked up. I'm not going to be an ass in front of my kids. I worked manual labour planting trees for ten seasons, know what it's like to struggle.

Most places that have woods at all also have this.

Golden gate park+presidio in SF, discovery+arboretum+Seward+ a bunch more in seattle, central park in NYC, fairmont park in Philly are all places I've loved walking/biking around (and to).
> If you're correct that this isn't all about the person at the heart of the crisis, and in at least some sense you are, it's still not the place to litigate that matter with that person.

Yeah, but that is why the example is unfortunate. If you read very closely, you'll notice that I said that too and I suspect we're in furious agreement. The problem with that example is it confuses two important issues - the right thing for one person to say, and the best thing for the other person to think.
I liked it too, but didn't like that I couldn't zoom out to view more, i found that frustrating
This reminds me so much of the “no vehicles in the park” test.[1] We allow wheelchairs as a special case for people with mobility issues, not because we want bike lanes inside airports.

I think it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so on-brand for Elon that he has a company that is designing brain-computer interfaces as an implant and while, to be clear, Neuralink obviously has medical and research leadership, not one of them is flagged on the company's website. Their "company" section is literally Blog and Careers.
$2.75B revenue, up 11% YoY. $555M net income (20% margin). $1B free cash flow. $75B market cap (after the dip).

Yes they may have missed analyst expectations, but AirBnb is still a very solid business. Not on its last legs as everyone here seems to be convinced.
It's pretty much a brand new law (as of May 1) so we're yet to see what the level of enforcement is.

Vancouver has had its own Airbnb bylaws (that the Provincial rules crib from) for years but bylaws are easily ignored and Vancouver's enforcement ability was very low. No real surprise to hear that someone in Vancouver was breaking the Vancouver Airbnb bylaws.

The Province does have much more ability to enforce the law that a city. So will be interesting to see.
Yeah. And if Apple design was so great, then why didn't we have separate copy+cut+paste keys, and undo+redo keys from the start? For example. Or even a help key.

The reasons given that an invasion would be difficult for China seem reasonable, but I'm bothered that it seems to assume "unifying" with Taiwan would require a land invasion. Given Taiwan's dependence on imports, it seems more likely that China would blockade the island.

From a quick read, the article never even mentions this possibility. Why wouldn't they at least wave at this possibility? Here's an article from last December that gives what I feel is a better explanation: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/atlantic-coun...
I can’t take this company seriously after all the R1 nonsense. I get that no product is perfect in its first version but it sure feels malicious how they fooled everyone with what they promised vs what they delivered.
Those numbers don't mean anything. Revenue does not equal profit.

Tesla makes double what GM makes with a 1/3 of the revenue. Twitter was always a money loser. If they made $661M in revenue, but lost 700m, and now they make $114M a quarter with $80M in profits, i wouldn't call that a dramatic collapse but rather a dramatic revival.

Quote profit not revenue when it comes to Elon Companies.

> I see so many statements of this nature from him and I just can't believe that a person that successful can be so monumentally stupid.

Clearly, you're not a student of history then. The trope of folks being good at one thing and believing that this can be extrapolated to other things is based on an almost infinite history of humans doing this exact thing, from politicians, business leaders, engineers, scientists, artists and just ordinary folks. When you couple this with the amplifying effects of having the money to surround yourself with 'yes'-folks that continuously reinforce your 'brilliance', and having the power that results in politicians kowtowing to you, then it is incredibly difficult to break out of that supreme belief in your own genius. It is literally a trap as old as humanity.
Imoortant data point: NYC anti-airbnb law came into effect 9 months ago[1] This has destroyed airbnb listings in nyc to the joy of hotels everywhere. I believe bookings made before the law came to be survived, so they stayed on the books as revenue, assuming a lead time of avg 6 months, you'd exoect the hit to be happening in Q2-Q3 of thia year.

There are also regulations that came online ij all of BC and some other cities in CAN as well.

If this is happening in more major markets, maybe that's the reason for the fall?

The paintings at Lascaux are beautiful and sophisticated, granted. I suppose by "civilization" which could have many definitions, I meant farming and city building (a city being some group of dwellings larger than dunbar's number). There is also some compelling genetic evidence that rice may have been domesticated and re-feralized several times throughout history, which could push the farming date back much further, which would be amazing. It seems to me that the nature of evidence-based archeology is to always be pushing these numbers further back in time, which is to be expected.

Fwiw Teenage Engineering is a design firm who was originally contracted by Rabbit to design the physical device. I don't think they had anything to do with the functionality.
A nice feature of Chromecast is that the device was really just a remote control. After starting a show it would continue even if your phone caught fire. This is obviously great for battery life but also means that multiple people can control the media (works great for YouTube where multiple people can queue videos, play, pause, etc...)

I would love to see something like Chromecast but open.

You need to look for sales. I have an acer Chromebook for $80 which is my daily tagalong computer (I bring it EVERYWHERE) in case I have downtime unexpectedly and want to get stuff done.

But I also am an oldster and hate typing on the phone, so a keyboard is a huge draw for me.

Battery life is like 6 hours (it says 9 but I’ve never tested it). It charges off a USBC port so can even charge (slowly) from car charger. Decent keyboard and pad.
