> I’d guess lots of people upgrading from Intel Macs

Why would you guess that? It's +22% Mac marketshare, not +22% Apple Silicon Mac marketshare.

Thoughts on https://partiful.com ?

I paid for Disk Decipher for this use case - it was a great purchase! https://disk-decipher.app

I still remember apps opening in less than one “bounce” on the OS X dock back in the snow leopard days. That was on a hackintosh with a 7200rpm hard drive. To be honest, I don’t really remember my first real Mac (a Haswell late 2013 MBP with NVME) feeling all that different. I’m sure large disk operations were faster, and compile times were faster because of the better CPU, but something about that “good enough” snow leopard desktop setup withh spinning metal worked great; maybe they warmed up some caches of apps they knew you were likely to use to make the basics feel fast.

Overall I feel like things have gotten less snappy since then, but it’s hard to be objective after all these years.

My favorite track from Tim Follin is from the NES game, Solstice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_gObHt1uZA

I could see there being serious issues with handling "impulse control." Imagine you see an ad, have a brief desire to interact with it, but tell yourself a split second later that you shouldn't. The time delay of using our physical body to carry out actions (movement, speech) that originate as thoughts acts as a very necessary filter. Imagine a world, even isolated to a spacial computing environment, where this filter didn't exist.

Given the tighter control that they have, do we expect that Apple and Microsoft already enable these kinds of compiler checks for their respective operating systems? Does Linux generally lag behind in this area?

I lucid dream regularly without even trying, and what you're describing sounds exactly like that. I hope you're self-aware enough to realize that your circumstances (personal / emotional investment in having this be real) make you one of the least reliable people to trust on this subject.

You couldn’t even pinch-to-zoom a photo when this phone first came out. It dropped frames like crazy. It was definitely a smart phone with a touch screen (and keyboard), but it definitely wasn’t an iPhone in terms of polish.

well, it did work, didn't it? And no BS bloatware like on Windows. Sometimes the best UX and also the most straightforward solution.

In Swift, you shouldn't use Optional like this. You should instead make a new type to represent exactly what parameter this function expects:

  enum AllowList {
    case all
    case some([ClientIdentifier])
  }

Was about to leave a comment saying the exact same thing. I don't understand how someone makes it this far in a project, and just completely drops the ball when showing the work off to the world. You don't even need to naturally be good at marketing - just literally copy what any somewhat-known brand / project does.

Shouldn't the title say "above 110 K" ?

regular users don't use linux lol...

+1 to Octal being fantastic

Ah, that makes way more sense.

> A common critique is that web apps yield clunky user experiences. This will be debated endlessly in developer circles, but native feeling UI is not necessary for mass adoption; the bar is “good enough”.

Classic - love when engineers settle for "good enough." A good reminder that the average person has bad taste and takes very little pride in the end-user-UX.

It’s Stockholm syndrome mixed with you being an expert at a specific tool.

The reality is, Git is unintuitive, and makes nearly every common thing the average person wants to do a complete pain in the ass. I understand you (and I) know how to get things done using Git, but as a society and a technically community, we should strive to make things better.

So, where can these be found? I’d like to dig through the code.

It’s not micro LED - it’s mini LED.

Mini LED uses an array of white LEDs to provide somewhat-localized dimming / illumination. You can get close to true blacks with this, but you might notice a halo around areas since the mini LED array resolution is lower than that of the RGB pixels.

Any links?

I’m trying to figure out when “record” would ever be hyphenated. If it doesn’t fit on one line, just put it on the next, right? No need to do some weird “rec-ord” / “re-cord” hyphenation.

Only 500 by May?

I was really surprised at how similar it felt to doing real work (as a SWE). I actually stopped playing for that exact reason - it just felt like work to me. I can totally see how it’s fun, but I don’t need to be thinking about long-term architecture / design for that many hours of my life.

Weird to see this poorly-written blog post make it to the front page. It misses so many details that the official blog post includes https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/react-native-at-airbnb...

Does this apply outside of Europe? Those website banners drive me nuts.

What's with the early 20th / late 19th century style of English? Entertaining for a moment, but ultimately just frustrating for me to read. Is it done purposely because trains are an "old" piece of transportation infrastructure?

Would love to see a couple of photos of what’s possible! Any maybe some info about where you’re located?
