I could consider moving to a windows laptop if the quality/performance of their laptops was anywhere close to apple. I don't even use an iphone or have any other apple products but the hardware is just _that_ good! The M1 totally

> The issue wasn’t that SVB couldn’t foresee higher interest rates. Becoming insolvent because the rates reached ~5% when history has had far greater rates is in fact an issue for SVB. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-

I think you're suggesting that somehow SVB a large and sophisticated bank could not contemplate that the fed would raise interest rates. Not to mention despite the size of their bet, they could have unwound this position for the last c

hmm I'm going to admit my mistake here. It does exist but it's hidden in the tabs. My m1 mac screen is not large enough to show the search icon which I must click on the right chevron icon to see as it's on the far right. I&#

I am personally completely unable to understand the decision to remove the ability for me to search a youtuber's videos. I didn't even know this was something a video website could take away!

Layoffs in tech. Not hearing much about other parts of the economy. Totally possible I haven't seen the reporting but I'd argue that tech/growth industries suffering layoffs don't really indicate a recession by itself ev

Hiring speed, hire quality, compensation (including things like work/life balance, healthcare, flexibility). I think you can try for two. Once you get large enough your ability to really selectively recruit gets a lot harder when natur

I wonder if you have more context or numbers. What companies are you thinking of. I remember companies like WeWork and Coinbase dropping in valuation but what more traditional Saas companies have run into this sort of hurdle? I'd argue

So all tiktok videos shot in the "tiktok" format are about provoking a reaction? You're the one who makes the claim.

Feel like this article is trying to tie many disparate complaints about people filming in public together. It at one time criticizes the surveillance state and then also tries to connect it to the "man on the street" format. Seems

Asking someone in public a question isn't harassment. Doing the same with a video camera is also not harassment. If they make the polite request to stop and you don't, it would start to be harassment.

Audio mixing has been absolutely terrible in so many productions that I started using subtitles a few years back and then I got used to them. If I want to really focus on the movie I usually turn the subtitles off because sometimes the subt

Sure totally, it just makes it harder for me to verify _their_ numbers though. Someone else replied to me and said it is the levoit core 300. Their fan does seem weirdly inefficient, but comparing the high mode of the levoit model to the ik

Looking at the wattage comparisons, the article talks about the "Wirecutter recommended air purifier" but seems to go out of its way to not mention it by name. Why? Second, I don't believe this air purifier, or really any rec

I actually disagree that it's suspicious. I think there are often trends in programming that despite being touted as newer, better, and faster have failed to deliver on that. Ala the amazing amount of churn in JS frameworks in the earl

Sure I totally agree that people have different preferences. Do you have a link to the study which showed that open offices reduced personal interaction? That wasn't my experience and I'm wondering what their methodology was.

I feel like the unicorn where I both enjoyed my colleagues in the office and had a lot of fun. Was it _more_ productive? Hard to say but I could easily put on my headphones and work. The lack of visual privacy I realize but I would never sa

That may be the premise, but has that actually be held up and recognized as such in courts in major countries? Like are there precedents regarding this? At that point it's no longer a premise (for those particular countries), but until

I think it's not just canceling their "best" shows. They have lots of data on what people watch. Rather I'd say that when you cancel shows people love whether or not they have great ratings you're creating a lot o

I remember joining the anandtech forums in the very early 2000's. I'm continually surprised how great a resource it's remained for over 20 years now. Certainly impressive!

I think your last statement captures something that not often emphasized, which is that startup time of workers and app are variable costs which scale with the amount of parallelization and so if you have a very large test suite there may b

Just as information for some later readers, but this is applicable not just to Epyc but also the consumer version Threadripper. My understanding is that this is an example of a Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) which was also used to link mu

I appreciate this article but fundamentally this is just a fault of the USB-C standard. One of the hardest parts is not just that it's sometimes confusing what is supported, a lot of the complexity is also pushed onto what any given us

Popularity is more of a marketing problem than an editor problem. At the same time, if we compare emacs to vscode, vscode simply requires less configuration to get going. Given how much tooling exists in the javascript ecosystem, I think ha

It's the notation for the shortcut Ctrl+c, which would be used in windows to copy and Ctrl+v for paste. It's written in most emacs documentation as C-c for brevity.

I enjoyed the point about tutorials. As far as tutorials go, it was maybe the best I've seen. At some point though, no matter if I know I can take 1 of 10 actions, I still have to make a decision and I had no idea which one to make or
