I’ve gotten so tired of the near infinite complexity of the angular / react / webpack / typescript / sass projects at work that for my home projects I’m now exploring no build tool solutions. Modern browsers are now so p

You do it while a service is growing, to capture most of the subscribers. Once growth dies down you stop buying and while the subscriber base will slowly bleed from app to web, you can ride the revenue stream from the growth fase’s subscrib

Apple always drops software support for hardware when they stop providing hardware repairs. They generally consider hardware “vintage” 7 years after its introduction, but sometimes make that longer. They drop support in new macos releases o

On the plus side for power, on the moon solar panels can operate at maximum efficiency all day every day. Build a network that spans the circumference and you get a reliable power grid.

If you look up global EV marketshare tesla doesn’t even have 20% of the market. They are the biggest EV maker yes, but they don’t even own that large of a chunk of the EV market, let alone the car market. The way I see it people are buyin

I don’t understand why people think tesla will keep growing at this rate. To grow they’ll need to sell more cars, and for that they will need to sell cars that cost a lot less, something they are not geared to do. Tesla is not apple, they’

In my region last mile access for ADSL operators is enshrined in law, as well as how much the network owner can charge them for that last mile access, and in practice what they charge them is around 30%. I am pessimistic of a legal path to

Yes, google will charge a service fee for the use of their platform by taking a cut of every transaction, even ones not processed by them. If we get a lawsuit that says “you can’t take a cut of every transaction” they’ll just charge a perce

You can have a record supply and still not have enough supply to meet demand. Apple is selling record numbers of products, they have trouble getting the additional supply to meet the extra demand.

For every practical reason for the flat boxy look I’m sure alternative approaches can be worked out, but people have to want to do it first. As someone who is not a car owner I find it striking how functionally blind most people are to the

“Angular over react” is also a bad example because in my experience angular upgrades take more work and are necessary more often.

LTSC is only in windows enterprise, but what any windows pro user should use if they want to avoid the bleeding edge is switch to CBB, which is generally a lot more stable than the consumer releases of windows (which effectively are public

Which modern PC can even compete at all with that offer? Excepting the price the m1 macbook air is a strong contender. It is roughly the width and depth of an x220 but half the height, 1.3 kg, P3 400 nits high dpi IPS display, insane batt

You need customers before you can make money. It makes sense to me that you first create a user base before you try to upsell them. If the goal is to create a user base, the fewer hurdles the better. I don’t see it as having to do with enti

The three books of the southern reach trilogy were the most creepy read I’ve ever had. Because of the dense and meandering writing style I felt like I was slowly losing my sanity together with the main characters of the books, trying to hol

Starship troopers in particular has a very curious relationship between movie and book. Where the book manages to glorify the military the movie deliberately chooses an ironic treatment of the characters and plot elements to form the book’s

One part of the excitement is about “look what’s possible!”, but frankly this is also worrying to me. Now that people know you can get this level of performance with that power efficiency, they will demand it from other vendors. That is goi

In the dune universe they have some kind of antigravity technology, so perhaps this is used to dampen the shockwave at the tips? In our universe given enough power there is probably a way to generate an opposite wave to counter the shockwav

Economic activity nearly always has negative externalities. Our economic model is based on ever growing economic activity, and coupled with population growth this produces ever mounting externalities. We treat these externalities separately

The XPS has a 720p camera and people complain on forums it has terrible picture quality. It also has thicker bezels than these new macbooks. I think apple made the right trade-off. Thin bezels and a good camera at the top of the display. Sa
