I hope they don’t use the power efficient CPUs as an excuse to make the batteries smaller in the new entry level laptops. The current gen is glorious in that regard.

Is your dream a PhD in machine learning, or to work on difficult machine learning problems? Many people (most, probably) come out of their PhD less happy than they were before, maybe there is a different way you can pursue this interest? If

In terms of quantifiable skills that your typical recruiter will be interested in, not much. In terms of everything else, absolutely. I also had much more fun in my 20s this way than I probably would have had otherwise, at the expense of en

There was a whole other Newspaper/TV polling fraud scandal since that one, this time relating to Fellner's 'Österreich' / 'OE24', as well as several other scandals (search for "Pflegemilliarde",

I gave up on a dream about a year ago. I had been working hard, not very successfully, for several years to make a passion into my career, and it not only caused me burnout and depression, but also made me hate the thing I was meant to be p

Express + React. JS and Mongo if it’s just a proof of concept, TS and Postgres if it has some small chance of becoming a real app one day. Zustand is my favourite simple state management solution, and it’s not too hard to swap it for Redu

Thiel recently hired former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who resigned from that position after a bunch of corruption scandals came to light. That should make it quite clear what direction he wants to take.

I don't know about the Windows world, but afaik Macs can't drive anything larger than 6k currently, so taking a 5k monitor and adding horizontal pixels to it doesn't work. LG and Dell make a 34" 5k*2k monitor, but on Mac

34" and 49" ultrawides are the same height as a 27" 16:9. 38" ultrawides are the same height as a 30" 16:9. If you want something taller than that, there's also 43" 16:9 monitors, which I guess are basical

Yea it's good enough. I'm using a 27" 4k with my Mac, scaled show the same amount of stuff as a 5k would, so 125% I guess. Sure it probably looks worse than a real 5k monitor if I was to pixel peep, but it's great to me

Absolutely. I replaced the battery on a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" myself with one I bought from iFixit, who I thought were a reputable dealer, and one year / 150 cycles in it was swelling to the point where I felt it was dangerous to c

I agree that some legitimate use cases will survive, but I think the ratio is _much_ worse than 90/10.

There are still some not too terrible alternatives in the Android world, but overall yes the iPad has won the tablet wars. What is a bit scarier to me is the idea that the iPad might win the general computing wars. I don't mind seconda

Some of the classic ThinkPad features just aren't relevant anymore today. For example hot-swappable batteries feel outdated to me in the age of USB-C PD power banks, as those are easier to recharge and not tied to a specific laptop mod

Has anyone gone from a 27" 4k or 5k to a 1440p ultrawide? If so, how did you like it? I've been thinking about switching, but I don't know if having to run MacOS at 1x instead of 2x might be a significant downside.

I agree completely. I bought a Keychron because they're reasonably cheap and have ISO layouts available. I hear online that the case feels cheap, the keycaps are low quality, etc. The only explanation to me is that these things are wri

I can’t comment on America, but when I lived in Amsterdam everyone I knew used an app called Buienradar for this exact use case. The accuracy was astonishing.

No, or at least not initially. With Apple's track record with online services I wouldn't trust them to not mess this up. I'd stay with BackBlaze for the time being and let others be the early adopters.

The concept that made this click for me is increasing your “luck surface area”. Unfortunately I don’t remember who to attribute it to.

If you measure it by browser market share, which is obviously not a flawless metric but the best one I can think of, Apple controls 37%. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/all/united-s... OS market sh

Where by "behave in such manner" you mean people pulling their music from Spotify? Sure, why not? Should they not be allowed to do that?

Who is the poor fella in this analogy? Rogan, who got paid $100M to do his podcast there? Or Spotify, with a market cap of $32B?

None of those were paid $100M to be on the platform as far as I know

It’s obviously not valid for all use cases, but Windows already runs great in Parallels. If I give it half the CPU cores and RAM of my M1/16GB Air, it benchmarks around the same as an Intel Quad Core 13” Pro.

It's true that you shouldn't "fully trust" AI in dev work yet (or probably ever). But I think it's also missing the point. After all I wouldn't blindly trust my own code that makes a request to an API endpoint

The Framework Laptop uses the same panel as the Acer Swift 3 and several other quite popular laptops, so should be good in that regard.

As I said, that's the absolute worst-case scenario. I don't own one personally, but reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so presumably it does have something to offer beyond replaceability. (disclaimer: some people on HN seem

Even assuming Framework shuts down tomorrow and destroys their existing stock of replacement parts and the specs for making new ones, I would argue that you can at the very least assume permanent availability of RAM, SSD, Display (it uses a
