Intel stipulated the same under the name HUGI (Hurry Up and Go Idle) about 15 years ago when ultrabooks were the new hot thing. But when Apple says it, software devs actually listen.

Yeah, the more boilerplate your code needs, the better AI works, and the more it saves you time by wasting less on boilerplate. AI tooling my experience: - React/similar webdev where I "need" 1000 lines of boilerplate to do w

Certbot is a giant swiss army chainsaw that can do everything middlingly well, if you don't mind vibecoding your encryption intrastructure. But a clean solution it usually isn't. (That said, I'm not too thrilled by this imple

Some distributions release ZFS kernel modules pinned for their kernel builds, so there's no bootstrapping problem in the first place. And the biggest issue really is that none of that would be necessary in the first place, if only btrf

LVM was a decent idea at the time, which was the early 1980s. But that locked in many architectural decisions that make it incredibly painful to use in practise, and its devs follow the "it was hard to write, so it should be hard to us

LVM isn't underrated, it's obsolete. ZFS in particular has none of the many, maaany problems you run into trying to make LVM work reliably in practice (no self-corrupting snapshots, e.g.).

I think OpenAI even mentioned in some papers that the internal o4(?) model used for some tests cost $6000 per query, pre-release. That's absolutely getting distilled down for releases.

75% better than "utterly awful" is an improvement, but you're still going to be searching for applicable niches with a microscope.

Screens are huge, that's why I want to take advantage of it and fit more windows on them, not less. But with how foamy modern apps are, it can be a struggle to have two windows side by side on a 2560px wide 27" screen and not have

"consumer grade hardware" is a rather loose definition too, what with RAM on consumer devices being anything between 2GB (low-end phones) and >100GB (high-end laptops/desktops) these days.

I stopped using the default apps when Google was forced by EU regulations to put a privacy policy popup in the stopwatch/alarm app because of course you need spyware in that.

Don't worry, that can happen on a stock Pixel phone too. Nobody in the Android ecosystem really cares about reliability.

I've yet to see it actually work reliably, but YMMV. Either way there doesn't seem to be any indication of a similar feature attempt for Apple's runtime - since containers are meant to be restarted regularly, they might just

I feel you, but Drive is borderline useless and I can't sell any potential users on "you put all your data here but documents go there (but it still looks like you could put other stuff here but that's an illusion) unle
