Awful lot of sites have icons on them. I can't recall ever seeing icon credit. Copilot is like a year old.

The premium apple products get on the second hand market is consistent so you can factor your own sale of the device further down the line in to your decision making.

> but is it really 2.1x the device that the 13 is? Am I the only person that thinks about it this way?

You're not the only person that thinks about things this way, but all of you should probably stop thinking this way.

Unless you'd like to dual wield 2.1 used iPhone Pro Maxes, have exactly $1200, can never get more money, and can never spend it on anything else; the percentage of price one option is of the price of the other option is irrelevant.

What matters is what you would be giving up by spending the extra $750.

Any tips to setting up macOS dotfiles? I set up a new Mac today and was going to go that route but after trying to do a diff of "defaults read" and seeing that its thousands of lines largely unrelated to macOS I gave up and changed the obvious things using the settings menu and now just have to deal with all the other minor differences as they popup.

With Apple's margins I doubt they're using a cost plus pricing model.

>The free market had its chance to operate for the past decade in NY since Airbnb has come into existence

My personal experience with the NYC housing market is exactly zero and even I know it's heavily regulated. Its rent control is known globally.

I honestly dont. I'm trying to think of what principle they could have meant with "This situation isn’t exactly a poster child for X" where X is any economic principle and coming up empty.

Best I've got is "central planning". One firm being able to handily out perform others despite them also being both motivated and well capitalised lends itself pretty heavily towards markets being good, but I hardly think they were referring to "central planning" when they wrote "efficient market hypothesis".

If it's so obvious to you that you're dropping ellipsis, care to clue us in?

Selling headline products at or near break even and then making your margin on add ons is a fairly standard pricing strategy. Doesn't mean they plan to sell any time soon.

I do agree that having something so mission critical be managed by someone making practically nothing off of you is concerning, but I dont think that changes all that much at double their price. Either way the second something goes wrong, you leaving as a customer is much cheaper for them than it is for someone to spend any amount of time fixing your problem.

Unless you're markmonitor big then as far as I can tell the best bet is to just go off of general sentiment about domain providers. Or maybe have it through a cloud company if you're spending enough on other things to warrant proper tech support?

Can you just sign up for gpt 4 apis? I was under the impression it was wait listed.

So I could be wrong about their point because they used SQL schema as their comparison but the commenter does question typography specifically so I think this is more "why is topography so focused on?" not "why is design so focused on?". At least that's the more interesting question to me.

For example this page. First thing you see is a hero image showing their font in use. It's a pretty important element that takes up the whole screen. It's blurry and pixelated. Not the worst I've seen but definitely gives me more car dealership not car manufacturer vibes. It's a 1.3MB png that looks just as good converted to an 80KB jpeg and imo even better as a 20KB avif. If it was instead a 1.3MB jpeg or avif starting from a high quality source that thing would look crisp and super car manufacturery.

There is also a section in the page where the text goes blurry because they've included a table as an image. Or I should rather say it's both blurry and an image because they could have just included a higher res image of the table. They have plenty of other images where it looks fine. Again something that gives me car dealership vibes. Actually I would say blurry text image table is specifically a dodgy second hand car dealership level of vibe.

Now you could say that the typography page isn't user or customer facing so its not that important but I see plenty of shitty blurry images on otherwise polished looking pages all over the internet, and also if they covered images in their design system like they do typography then it wouldn't matter. They'd just be in the habit of only using high quality images and have some process in place to deliver them in appropriate formats.

So while backend vs frontend or functionality vs polish are imo boring and played out webdev topics, I am super curious as to why they care enough about inspiring positive feelings through web design to make an entire custom font, have a page of guidelines on how to use said font, but dont have the same level of care for images. And why I see this contrast enough to consider it reasonably common in the industry.

Blocking domains that aren't iCloud, gmail, etc would mean blocking business users. Do you know of any services doing that?

They all get filtered straight in to a folder. No notification when they arrive.

Then I just go through it every couple weeks either when im waiting around on my phone or when I find myself wasting time on reddit or hn but dont quite have it in my to jump back in to dev work just yet.

Between topics not being interesting to me, overlap in covered topics by each newsletter, and overlap with things I've already seen here; the vast majority of content that hits that folder doesn't ever actually get read. I'm yet to find any source of news, tech newsletter or otherwise, that warrants reading on a daily basis. Closest would be the weather.

Hundreds of millions of people writing and interacting with each other is exactly the moat Twitter had when BlueSky was started.

I can make out pixels on 4k monitors let alone 4k televisions. If you believe pixels stop being visible at some pixel density below 4k televisions, you may have bad eyesight and have not realised because its not "need glasses to be able to read" bad.

This is why I find all the comments I see on here about needing a killer app baffling. We already value both screen real estate and portability. Devices already compete on both.

>we are talking about people (homo sapiens) putting a major something on their heads that dramatically takes over their visual field for the pursuit of... what exactly? That is the puzzle.

A far better screen real estate to hardware size ratio than you can get if you dont put something on your head.

Most office workers have been using two or more 22 inch or far larger monitors for a decade now. People buy the largest televisions in their budget and are impressed when their buddy gets a new bigger one. Movie theatres 1) exist when television ownership is common and 2) advertise it when they have particularly big screens.

Laptops make up like half of all computer sales. Plenty of people have been trying to make working on tablets work to shave down a bit more size. Phones are frequently used for media consumption.

If I wasn't a person who existed in the world and used devices, it'd still be perfectly obvious to me that people want to see a lot of stuff at once but they also don't want to lug around the things necessary to do that. I am a person who exists in the world though and therefore have this very problem. I carry a phone everywhere I go and sometimes find myself giving up on tasks, or it not even occurring to me to try them, because I know they'll be a lot easier when I have my laptop. I carry it to less places and find myself doing the same thing, leaving off tasks until I'm at my desk, which I carry nowhere.

I keep seeing people mention an aha moment or killer app needed to make these devices make sense and I honestly dont get it. It doesn't need to satisfy some new want to be incredibly successful. It just needs to be a laptop with far more screen real estate than any actual laptop.

Not sure what I'd do at 32" but with a 27" 4K I run it scaled as 1080. Everything is sized how I would expect but text is just much crisper.

Region dependent on exact dates but common bicycle ownership predates common car ownership by 40 years or so.

So a lot of existing cities that are introducing dedicated bicycle infrastructure likely fit.

With the exception of a Postgres offering (they went with SQLite) and what sounds like some sort of built in CMS, Cloudflare has all of this. I don't mean in a glue together your own Dropbox way but in a nicely integrated verify your GitHub profile, pick a repo, get automatic deployment and serverless functions that just work way. The same way Vercel is being described.

My understanding is that Vercel is built on top of Cloudflare and charges a significant premium.

Presumably people are paying that premium for the unspecified "nifty performance optimizations" for Nextjs and not for the CMS and Postgres. Has anyone gone from Cloudflare to Vercel that can speak to the differences they found?

Even more off topic: A lot of very large companies (eg. Google, Reddit, Microsoft) use Mark Monitor as their registrar rather than either being their own registrar or using one of the providers everyone else does. Anyone know what they're getting that makes that particular company so appealing?

Qualified to work for Microsoft and qualified to work for Jane Street are entirely different tiers.

People might be imagining it as something tightly coupled with the application rather than a data file you can just backup anywhere. Could be worth chucking a "store your profile on your own device, Apple iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or your preferred file storage solution" somewhere.

As someone who has given a lot of tours through a brewery and wineries, a good amount of people are in fact disappointed by the abundance of stainless steel tanks.

The 25 requests isn't too much of a hindrance for me but the user experience around its long response times definitely is. Needs notifications, or at least just have it wait and then send the text all at once rather than drip feeding it.

Although if they did that then I'd probably hit the 25 request limit a lot more.

If you're going a week without activity then SQLite is basically as overkill as PostgreSQL is.

Have a look at what they reply to subpoenas with.

Assuming everyone you know isn't already using Signal, I think the most important "feature" for any existing Signal user is getting more users on there.

As far as I can tell, lots of people love stories.

Grandperspective has the same look as disk inventory x but I found it to be significantly faster.

I haven’t noticed any nag screens but I didn’t when using disk inventory x either so I might just be immune to them.

Tried it for what? If you were a UI designer then you would have been using it already let alone not heard of it.

How is ffmpeg a photoshop alternative?
