Ship of Theseus notwithstanding, at that point, isn't it a new car if you're replacing the chassis?

SponsorBlock?

I also think deception in the form of "just admit you murdered the person and you can go home" should be illegal.

Police aren't empowered to make plea deals and they shouldn't imply or outright say that they can.

For some reason I thought I had read that Horizons was faster and would eventually eclipse it, odd.

Anyway I'm still curious if V1 outlasts New Horizons

I feel like just running teams on that would make it cry.

It will definitely happen, the only real question is if we're still talking to New Horizon when it passes Voyager 1.

In fact I wonder if we'll stop talking to Voyager 1 before or after New Horizon.

That's annoying. I really want to fully remove lightning connectors from my life, but, my existing magic* devices work fine and will probably work fine for another decade or two.

The touchbar was useful in one important way.

Because it made the esc key useless for touch typists and because, as a vi user, I hit esc approximately a bazillion times per day I mapped caps lock to esc.

Now my fingers don't travel as far to hit esc.

I still use that mapping even on my regular keyboards and my current non-touch-bar macs.

Thanks touchbar macs, rest in peace.

I had the 2019 i9. The power difference and the cooling difference is astounding from the 2019 to the M1 (and the M1 is faster).

I actually use my laptop on my lap commonly and I think the i9 was going to sterilize me.

"SSD is soldered on" is a bit of glossing over of the issue with the M-series Macs.

Apple is putting raw NAND chips on the board (and yes soldering them) and the controller for the SSD is part of the M-series chip. Yes, apple could use NVMe here if you ignore the physical constraints and ignore fact that it wouldn't be quite as fast and ignore the fact that it would increase their BOM cost.

I'm not saying Apple is definitively correct here, but, it's good to have choice and Apple is the only company with this kind of deeply integrated design. If you want a fully modular laptop, go buy a framework (they are great too!) and if you want something semi-modular, go buy a ThinkPad (also great!).

My work computer is my personal computer. I easily spend 100+ hours a week using it.

It's really very easy, honestly.

My laptop is my work life and my personal life.

I spend easily 100 hours a week using it not-as-balanced-as-it-should-be between the two.

I don't buy them because I need something new, I buy them because in the G4/Intel era, the iterations were massive and even a 20 or 30% increase in speed (which could be memory, CPU, disk -- they all make things faster) results in me being more productive. It's worth it for me to upgrade immediately when apple releases something new, as long as I have issues with my current device and the upgrade is enough of a delta.

M1 -> M2 wasn't much of a delta and my M1 was fine. M1 -> M3 was a decent delta, but, my M1 was still fine. M1 -> M4 is a huge delta (almost double) and my screen is dented to where it's annoying to sit outside and use the laptop (bright sun makes the defect worse), so, I'm upgrading. If I hadn't dented the screen the choice would be /a lot/ harder.

I love ThinkPads too. Really can take a beating and keep on going. The post-IBM era ones are even better in some regards too. I keep one around running Debian for Linux-emergencies.

Yep.

I've never kept any laptop as long as I've kept the M1. I was more or less upgrading yearly in the past because the speed increases (both in the G4 and then Intel generations) were so significant. This M1 has exceeded my expectations in every category, it's faster quieter and cooler than any laptop i've ever owned.

I've had this laptop since release in 2020 and I have nearly 0 complaints with it.

I wouldn't upgrade except the increase in memory is great, I don't want to have to shut down apps to be able to load some huge LLMs, and, I ding'ed the top case a few months ago and now there's a shadow on the screen in that spot in some lighting conditions which is very annoying.

I hope (and expect) the M4 to last just as long as my M1 did.

Deeply ironic considering how wrong Boeing has been in so many other ways, but, its been fairly obvious that the hub-and-spoke model the A380 was built for was dying in favor of the point-to-point model of the 787/777x.

Airbus will adjust far better than Boeing could have, had they been wrong.

I've been doing this for a year or two with k3s + cert-manager.

Works great.

In my case everything points to a tailscale operator endpoint, which goes to nginx ingress, which routes to the appropriate pods.

It's very much a set-and-forget solution.

OK why do I care about how the OSI defines a word which predates the existence of the OSI by over 1000 years?

It doesn't meet your definition of the word open.

Of course they didn't know what they were doing. It was written by a 19-year-old in the mid 90s. The code is messy with poor licensing and some build tools were included in the repository and they wrote a dumb license for it? Who cares, they shipped a product that 10s of millions of people used and loved and wanted to share that code up to the world and instead of embracing the best of what they were trying to do while helping them to make things better, the community piled on them until they said it was so not worth it that just pulled the whole thing.

Bravo and job well done.

Google made something better than what existed with Chrome, it was obvious it would capture the market significantly especially among more technical people.

I don't think the fact that Chrome is (was) better is the question, it's a question of how they got here.

Google took tons of money and threw it into Chrome and therefore developed something better. It's better because Google put more money into it than anyone else would have because, in the absence of considering using it to enshrine their search and ad revenue, it wouldn't make sense.

Isn't this part of the antitrust test?

Revision history is the only fig leaf here though about wp-engine being "bastardized wordpress" ?

I suppose I understand the argument about wp-engine using significant wordpress.org resources has some merit (but is entirely unrelated to the bastardization argument) if wp-engine is just fetching things like wordpress updates and plugin lists and plugin updates, etc, all directly from wordpress.org servers on a per-blog basis but I find it hard to believe that wp-engine doesn't cache or have their own layer for that.

A bit?

I'm not entirely sure I've read anything on the internet which should be interpreted in exactly the opposite manner as how it's written.

It's like one of those PR-speak statements about a mass layoff where the CEO (but really a team of PR wonks) waxes poetic about how difficult it is for him to lay off parts of the company, but, this one doesn't even have the benefit of running through the PR-speak machine.

> good on Matt for sticking to values here

What other option does he have? Wordpress is GPL, he couldn't legally stop a fork if he wanted. I assume using the power of Automattic he could try to lawfare a fork out of existence but it would be obvious what he was trying to do.

“WP Engine is free to offer their hacked up, bastardized simulacra of WordPress’s GPL code to their customers, and they can experience WordPress as WP Engine envisions it"

Does anyone know what the context about this is? What did WP-Engine change which Matt disliked?

As I understand they were disabling page revision history (but would enable it if you asked) and only because they had some other proprietary to wp-engine method of versioning and rollbacks but this seems like a massive overreaction to that.

Doesn't even have to be whole containers, whole containers would be harder to hide.

Just divert the container to an area without cameras for a few minutes, pop it open and remove the kilos.

In a manual world, nobody notices that the container takes 15 minutes longer to reach the storage area.

In a manual world, nobody notices that the container suddenly became 100lbs lighter.

In a manual world, nobody notices the GPS trace showing the container going behind the warehouse where the camera coverage is spotty.

I agree, it's more than 10c/month.

Charge me $10/year for the service and I'll happily pay it, that should cover all your costs at a scale of millions of cars.

Really considering how little power a mini draws (30 watts) it really doesn't matter how devastated a location is. You can effectively indefinitely power it with a fairly modest battery+solar setup.

I've been solar powering my mini since I got it with some old hardware I had laying around, just to see if I could.

It might be extended, it might be extended for select terminals (people who are allowing general public access?), maybe only in areas which are still down in 30 days (once we actually know that).

30 days is just an obvious number to start with and give enough time to make a reasonable assessment for better next steps.

Impossible to know for sure, but, https://x.com/TheShawnHendrix (who has a very interesting story) is one of the people driving starlinks (and other things) to the affected areas and was tagging elon incessantly asking him to do this and was asking his followers to do the same.

I would hazard to guess that's how Elon found out.

If you check out the people doing this, they are bringing other things and not just starlinks, generators, fuel, dehumidifiers, etc

One of the most interesting ones is Shawn Hendrix on X: https://x.com/TheShawnHendrix

While I'm sure having internet isn't their focus, a starlink draws a trivial amount of power especially relative to a dehumidifier/fans/etc and you can only work for so many hours a day. Being able to sit around at the end of the day and watch some youtube and being able to communicate with friends and family would be the difference between an awful situation and completely untenable one, personally.
