Well, missing packages for one. Nix prides itself on having one of the most compete package catalogs of any Linux package manager, and on Mac it leaves quite a bit to be desired. A lot of functionality has to be hooked in via home-manager scripts that are a lot less stable than NixOS modules, and since your system isn't built/upgraded by Nix you can't write overlays for a lot of Mac software. If you only need the versioned Flake management then it might be an okay option, but I found myself pretty frustrated by it in places that aren't an issue on Linux. I can't comfortably use it as a Homebrew replacement.

Also, my Mac is 256gb which feels far too cramped for Nix. I'd really only recommend it if you're working with 512gb or more.
It does work like that in practice though. There’s is absolutely no reason to fully shut down instead of standby.

Why is this even a question? WFH doesn't mean "work from home while simultaneously doing household tasks, meal prep, laundry, and childcare". If you aren't able to do your job for 8 hours a day without distractions – whether from home or the office – then you should be taking a leave of absence or coming up with an alternate arrangement with your employer.

Articles like these are exactly why companies are reconsidering their remote work stance.
I would use something like inboxchat.ai, sort of. What I want is to get proposed labels based on my usual labeling activity, and then I want to periodically login and review recommended labels for the activity (unlabeled unread pending email) in my inbox, where I would either speed edit some of the suggestions or accept the recommended labels.

While I have hundreds of auto-label filters already setup, there's always constantly more activity to consider. So having label recommendations could save a lot of time. Or proposed new filters based on common obvious labeling activity already occurring in my inbox.
I just bang on the spacebar, and it starts up. It's a Bluetooth keyboard, so I guess the system is listening to BT. I did that with the laptop, forever.

The Mini starts up a lot faster than the laptop.

That said, I should actually do a test, to make sure that the system is in real shutdown...

I made a fanless NUC 7 (!) years ago with a special case, and it's perhaps due for replacement.
Because the comment is very specifically talking about rack-mount installations. Granted, no matter you put the power switch, it's going to be difficult to reach if you install 21 of them on a single shelf.
Maybe the solution then is regulation of issuer chargeback policies, or of the ability of issuers to claw back money from payment processors or merchants. Yes, the issuer knows the cardholder better than the merchant, but the payment processor knows the merchant better than the issuer. Why is it right for one of those two sides to automatically get the final say, even when they use such a spurious basis for their decision as Bank of America did here?

As I said, figuring out the right fix is not easy. But I don’t see how the current situation is defensible as okay, except as maybe reflecting the natural way for each of the individual actors to behave given the various incentives which are presently applicable to them, or as better than any specific proposal currently available for how to fix the situation.

No, it is soldered to the storage module. You have to desolder the flash chips from that module and replace them. You can't just order a bigger storage module from Apple (or anyone else) and plug it in.

It's a fair point, but Apple's also taken a lot of heat for comparing their new models to ancient ones rather than the previous one, so that they can show an even bigger performance jump.
It's a custom-built Slack bot that uses our KB articles, and previous customer tickets, to formulate responses and find links to relevant data. Our Customer Service staff uses those generated responses to write actual replies to customers. We currently don't have plans to let the system respond to customer queries directly.
It's also pretty easy to live life without Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. At least for me. I'm not counting services hosted on AWS. Removing that still leaves Apple and Facebook, which I use not at all, and have no desire to.
I haven't found any Thunderbolt 5 enclosures for sale yet, though.
Sorry, didn't see your response until today. But I'd argue that those two truths aren't incompatible with one another. Something can be an innate human right and also perceived poorly within a given culture at that moment in time. Someone not respecting a human right doesn't mean that the right doesn't exist. It's just being infringed. "Individual human rights don't exist" seems like a defeatist statement to me and also (looking at religion) doesn't seem to be one believed in by the majority of humans throughout history (though the nature of what is and isn't a right is probably what is usually argued about). There are some things that seem to be universally frowned upon in just about every culture (like unjustified, by their definition of unjustified, murder, rape, etc.) The idea of human rights should be sacred and inarguable because the alternative leaves room for pushback against them.
There is nothing stopping a third party vendor from making a compatible PCB with a larger NAND flash - since it doesn’t need a controller it could even be cheaper than a classic SSD
Ever see a homeless schizophrenic? Do you think they have a bank account?
Apple bought a company that designed enterprise SSD controllers over a decade ago.

> Anobit appears to be applying a lot of signal processing techniques in addition to ECC to address the issue of NAND reliability and data retention. In its patents there are mentions of periodically refreshing cells whose voltages may have drifted, exploiting some of the behaviors of adjacent cells and generally trying to deal with the things that happen to NAND once it's been worn considerably.

I think the point you're replying to still stands, it's just moved "up" a level: If someone cared to look into the financial history of someone with no grocery store payments on their credit card (why are they looking into this person's spending history? Maybe because they're suspected of embezzling a lot of cash, I don't know!), found no credit card payments, looked further and found not enough ATM withdrawals to account for the amount of groceries the person presumably would've needed, the suspicion is still the same. The "investigators" just had to take it a step further.

I doubt the person you're replying to thinks not a single person in the world pays cash at the grocery store, but I think it's reasonable to think that a lot of people do use credit cards at the grocery store (for points/rewards OR for actual credit; not to mention the convenience of not needing to have the cash on hand).
We're all students of Internet University.
My take on this. We have been in this situation as well, we rebuilt a project formerly built by another team.

1. First, get the database design right, simplify it as much as possible, and consider that you are going to migrate data from the old design to the new design too. Chances are that some of the old structure might not be needed anymore. Work with your client to determine which tables or fields you can already remove. Also, for data that is not expected to be frequently searched or retrieved through complex queries, considering organizing those in JSON format.

2. Do not code right away. Do a very thorough plan of all the controllers and models you need, and review functions that will be reusable, especially in the models; do the same thing for helpers. You mentioned that it was built by a founder without formal training. There’s a good chance a big part of the code does not follow SOLID principles. Your ultimate goal in this planning is to reduce duplicate functions and make it easy to write test cases for your code, both in the BE and FE.

3. For complex or big features, regardless of your team’s experience, I would encourage you to still use flowcharts. Finalize the logic first before coding. You may find logics that can be simplified or is critical to your database design if you do this.

4. Implement TDD, then configure your CI pipeline to automatically trigger test cases and block merging if a single test case fails. This will instill discipline in your team and reduce the number of bugs.

I don't know if it's an option for you to switch to another language. If it's an option, use TypeScript. Strict typing helps early detection of errors caused by incorrect types or accessing missing properties.

The comment in the article is in the context of rack mounting them which is a common thing to do with Mac minis. Having it on the bottom makes it hard to press as you can’t lift them up when they’re secured in a mount.
Don't believe a single second the marketing speech about these 2 engines, they are both total crap trying to gain users with whatever hype subject is around.

Qwant used to pretend being a champion of privacy, a "french made" tech, but with a search engine mostly based on Bing, lobbying with Microsoft against our interests, and with a boss sucking as much public funding as possible to finance luxury HQ locations and lavish cars...

Qwant collapsed and was sold, but now it is just a mediocre ghost product trying to capitalize on a stained branding and on being a French/european alternative.
Steve Jobs was famously anti-gaming. That presumably still leaves a lot of leftover sentiment within Apple.

Separate reply to add: the US (or Canadian) rules apply in these regards to the use of US (or Canadian) cards in Europe, unless a particular merchant wants to ban those. I suspect this is only sometimes legal for them to do, but more importantly, it’s often a bad business decision overall for businesses with an international clientele. So for merchants in any country worldwide, this problem has only been solved decently well if they want to region-restrict their cards.
Their monetization models rely heavily on advertising and sensationalism, and much of it is the journalistic equivalent of SEO spam. Boring, sober analyses don't sell clicks anymore, so it's all hyperpolarized doomsday headlines.

That, and also seeing how disempowered the average American has become in terms of their ability to actually make any difference in the political or corporate world. It's just a dog-and-pony show in these waning days of democracy combined with ever-more-powerful corporate interests... the news really just serves as a way to reaffirm how helpless the overwhelming majority of us really are, no matter if it's the latest hot-button political topic, layoffs, return-to-office mandates, etc. The news helps the elites mirror each other's strategies and behaviors, while doing little more than instilling a sense of cyclic doom and gloom for the average Joe.

They don't call it "doomscrolling" for nothing.
I like how were still re-living the classic MS 'every other OS is kinda ok' pattern.

95? Pretty ok. Idk, I didn't use it, I just watched my dad install it via like 25 floppy disks so we could play Tom Clancys SSN game. Worth it.

98? Kinda bad. Wasn't this the one to BSOD during the MS demo? Or was that ME?

2000/NT? Good. I know I kinda jumped between desktop and server OS's here, but hey, thats what I was doing with my life at the time.

ME? Bad. Might have BSOD'd during a MS demo.

XP? Good.

2003? Not great. Another server OS, but come on, it really helps the pattern, and what did 2003 bring that we didn't already have in 2000? Plus, 2003 really hated the upgrade path to 2008/R2 so I'm counting it.

Win7? Good.

Win8/8.1? So, very, very bad.

Win10? Good-ish. At least, after like, 12 months of updates and if you tear out all the nonsense ads + fix the start menu.

Win11? Cancer.
I am calling it. GPT-5 if it ever comes out will be the first sign to the layman and outsiders that we are officially and unambiguously on the downwards stage of the hype cycle. I don't see OpenAI and DeepMind going anyware but I suspect all the API wrapper companies will disappear in 2025
I don't think so, but I've said a lot about databases in the last fifteen years haha.

Sometimes I look at what people say about FDB and it feels like... folks are putting words in my mouth that I don't recognize. I was very impressed by a short phone conversation with their engineers ~12 years ago. That's good, but that's not, like, a substantive experimental evaluation. That's "I focus my unpaid efforts on databases which seem more likely to yield fun, interesting results".
If the idea is to claim to be an escort that only accepts cash, and then report already-possessed cash as income, while also depositing into a bank, then that could have been phrased more clearly. As it stands, it says to actually be as escort and get more money that you have to launder.

Plus, there has got to be more critical information -- left out of the comment -- on how to get such a scheme to work. I highly doubt that most countries have left a massive hole in their anti-money-laundering systems that allows a person to simply claim to have massive transactions in cash with no (or easily fakeable) documentation.
Is there any progress? About two years ago, there were people training neural nets to play games, looking for a representation of the game state inside the net, and claiming to find it. That doesn't seem to be mentioned any more.

As for "solved soon", the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Look at Uber and Tesla, both counting on some kind of miracle to justify their market cap.
This is a smart play. It’s the only way Volkswagen doesn’t die competing against Tesla and BYD considering it’s current state. Cheaper to buy in than transform yourself in the short term.

I'm always interested in what else is out there on the market and how people evaluate them, which did you get?

I'm personally looking at the middle tier M4 Pro 16" 14/20 with 48gb of ram to replace my 2019 13" i5 with 16gb and 256gb ssd.

It's somewhat frustrating, but although technically I can get by with my current machine, it's starting to feel foolish and needlessly frustrating to hang onto it longer, it's just so sluggish these days. Maybe I'd feel differently if I had got a more higher-end one 5 years ago. Windows remains as my old gaming PCs OS, idk that I'd want to contend with it daily for work or anything unless the software required it, but then I'd probably just upgrade the bits in my PC and stick with my older mac laptop for basic personal use.

Even though I did buy it, I can't say I can get past the cost of upgrading the various bits, but just decided that I should pick a reasonable option and not stress about it too hard, it'll be a nice change, I might even return it within the window if I feel sufficiently robbed. I couldn't wrap my head around the even more comical Max versions.

Maybe they're just trying to capture missing revenue from us never-iPhone people. It's the only part of the Apple ecosystem I participate in aside from an ancient iPad.
Ah okay, you're right, I misunderstood you.
Standards of parental attachment, caregiving intensity, early childhood enrichment, and quality time with parents outside of working hours are radically different today than they were in the 1980s or the 1970s. The 1970s were not a golden era of intensive mothering; in fact, in a lot of ways, the norms of early childhood parenting we know now are reactions to 1970s parenting.

At any rate, I was just making a comment about the prevalence of multigenerational caregiving. I would contend: it was also not a major thing in '70s and '80s America (though it probably was much earlier in the 20th century, and in other countries).

Even bigger thanks! It’s hard to ship stuff, and it’s even harder to spread the word.

Yeah, I don’t know why 8gb base models get so much hate online. 8gb is 64 billion bits of memory. If you’re writing everyday software and you need more memory than that, you’re almost certainly doing something wrong.

Yet another micro-SaaS boilerplate – This one won't make you go broke
Hey HN,

I've seen a lot of SaaS boilerplates, and, like many of you, I’ve felt that sense of ugh, not another one. But that’s partly why I decided to create eziSaas—a MERN stack boilerplate with the basics, for less than a meal out.

The idea was to help developers skip the repetitive setup for things like Stripe integration, authentication, and landing pages. It’s meant to save time, especially for those working on quick-launch side projects or MVPs.

I know this isn’t some revolutionary new thing, and I'm not here to oversell it. If it helps someone get their project off the ground a bit faster, it’s worth it. The features are basic, but it's functional, simple, and affordable.

What you get:

Fully integrated Stripe payments
Auth flow with email handling
A landing page that’s production-ready
Documentation to make setup as easy as possible
I’m really open to feedback, especially from those who’ve used other boilerplates or have thoughts on what would make a tool like this more useful. If this sounds like something you’d try or recommend, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!

Link: ezisaas.com (demo on the site).

Mods, please let me know if this isn’t within guidelines.

Cheers!
Nah. I'm wrong. The laptop started that way, probably because the keyboard is attached to a CalDigit dock, and tapping on the keyboard probably sent power to the device, which starts it.

That doesn't happen with the Mini, if I actually do a shutdown from the menu.

Apple has something I think they call "Deep Sleep," which is basically a shutdown, and that wakes from the keyboard.

That said, it's not a big deal to reach under the left side, and tap the button. The laptop was a pain, because I had to open it up.

But I've only had this thing a few days, and haven't had a chance to really torture it, yet.
> I don’t think people are “hyper rational” despite even appearing that way to the outside, or identifying themselves as such.

As I wrote in my parallel answer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42115831 I do believe that on rationalism websites or forums, it's quite plausible that some of this breed of people hangs around.

> I’m somewhat skeptical that they exist [...] in the numbers needed to fill pilot slots.

I think we agree with this weaker statement that I created by using the ellipsis. But, as I wrote,

> In a a high risk-high reward situation, I strongly prefer hyperrational risk calculators (in opposite to risk avoiders - the common person in society) over hypermasculine risk takers

I'd strongly prefer these people - assuming such a choice exists.
It's a way of signaling how the product should be used. Plug it in, hit the power button, put it down, and never turn it off again. For many users that's probably the only time they will ever interact with that button (or want to).

I actually think it's a really good choice and shows Apple really understands design. And with the relatively low power consumption it makes sense. It's not like it's drawing a ton of power on idle
Yeah it seems like this would also increase airflow. Is there any possible issue with just having it upside down all the time?
No, use the one for Mineral Bluffs:

1. Study the width of the oversize vehicle here[1].

2. Study the lack of shoulder next to this guard rail[2].

No parent in their right mind is going to be comfortable letting a six year-old walk that, in any decade. And no municipality is going to let school buses drop kids at arbitrary parts of that highway, unless the driver is dumping them into a residential side-street.

I'm glad you survived walking on streets like this when you were six, but that's not relevant to these highways being dangerous places for regular (or irregular) foot traffic.
