Maybe I am being a jerk but I think a tool that is working on local filesystems should be written in something that will make syscalls like Go and it should just be a binary so I don't have to install npm/npx/python/whatever.

Here's an old blog post that explores that topic at least with one specific example: https://www.loper-os.org/?p=861

The gist is that keyboards are optimized for ease of use but that there could be other designs which would be harder to learn but might be more efficient.

I don't know much about plumbing and didn't mean to offend any plumbers but yeah pipe connections definitely seem trivial but I guess that's not most of the job in reality.

I wasn't aware of the difference. I guess I meant to say crimp fittings.

Or that GrapheneOS is small enough to bully.

If anyone was curious what is happening with the replacement, I just found this website: https://keybridgerebuild.com/

I can't comment on this idea but I will say that I would have expected press fittings to have brought down the cost of plumbing because they don't require soldering up to certain diameter. But they don't seem to have had any impact on the cost of plumbing despite not requiring as much skill.

As of right now it seems like if you have the old V2 apps installed they can still be (re)activated with your old Serif/Affinity license that is tied to an email. I was able to just do that with Designer v2. I also seem to be able to re-down them through the Apple App Store and they work fine. You do get a prompt "Would you like to keep your app linked to your Affinity Store account? This allows you to automatically stream any free or purchased content you have directly to your app." But its unclear to me what that means at the moment given that Canva has changed the licensing model.

I had the same thought but I also wonder if these highly trained illustrators were happy with making corporate renderings or if they had imagined themselves working in a more creative capacity?

I also don't think its gone. We still have great illustrators but someone somewhere has to decide to use illustrations instead of a photo, CGI, or something else and then they have to pay the premium for that service.

That is my experience as well. This memory feature strikes me as beneficial for Anthropic but not for end users.

There's gotta be a way to let people read multiple things at once on a webpage without resorting to this.

GPUs prices really surprise me. Most PC part prices have remained the same over the decades with storage and RAM actually getting cheaper. GPUs however have gotten extremely expensive. $350 used to get you a really good GPU about 20 years ago, I think top of the line was around $450-500--now it only gets you entry level. Top of the line is now $1500+!

Not if you use the managed services which is a very alluring proposition for most businesses.

It has a YAML config format to declare all of that so you could just do that once, or template it, generate it on the fly, fetch it from remote, or many other methods.

Sam Altman is trying to build this with the world app and retina scanning. Who knows if it will go anywhere.

Car companies need to either sell feature complete auto-pilot model trims with LIDAR and sell a trim not equipped with auto-pilot at all. They should not sell middle-ground, budget trims with less-effective auto-pilot that compromise safety.

Check out teklager, I suspect they have the best option for you but my research on this was done about 2 years ago so you might want to have a look around. There's cheaper options that come from China but I am paranoid about back doors.

Cloudflare requires a $3,000/year business plan in order to have custom name servers. Namecheap offers this for free.

"Account/Zone custom nameservers are available for zones on Business or Enterprise plans. Via API or on the dashboard."

Update: I say this to further illustrate how they operate.

I agree. Case in point is that the author jumped in at the iPhone 7 which is a lot closer to current era iPhones than the original iPhone and had been refined over that many generations. My first iPhone was the 5s, my first Apple Watch was the 6. I tend to hang back and wait a few generations before adopting a new product from Apple. I suspect Apple Intelligence will be a lot better 1-2 years from now.

Sure does, but I don't evaluate firewalls based on the quality of their marketing materials.

https://tilt.dev/ also uses Starlark.

OpenWrt is also very difficult to safely upgrade on some devices which I would also consider as a huge downside. I finally gave up and bought an old Dell off eBay and installed OpnSense and am much happier.

The author sort of goes against his own advice but not diving into the specifics of why he doesn't like certain things. I get that such a piece would be longer, take more time and effort, and would draw more argumentation but that's what he's asking for in the piece itself.

I think it could be something like https://juju.is/ or https://www.systeminit.com/ but maybe I am not understanding what you mean.

In my opinion that is the insidiousness of it. It pits the patrons against the workers where owners and managers can just throw their hands up and blame it on tax law. We really just should pay people better and prices should be upfront.

Portafilters are made in mass so you could make horns for common portafilters.

Apple's approach is to give you some fixed amount of time to cancel before it auto-dials an emergency number.

I thought https://tart.run/ was for this purpose?
