Am I right that it claims a battery life of only 4 hours? Might as well not have a battery at all! I'd take an even less beefy cpu / gpu for a 12 hour battery on a device like this

yes, all turing complete type systems make it possible to define type structures that would cause infinite loops, but typically they are able to detect this and refuse to compile

There is no other equivalent PC laptop that is as fast, with such great battery life, power draw, quiet and lack of heat, and hidpi display, and all the equivalents in terms of performance and portability are just as expensive. The apple si

the foundational aspects of actually-used operating systems have been basically the same for 25 years or so. Lots of improvements, sure, but the basic ideas remain the same. MINIX3 is even kind of advanced compared to, say, Linux, since it

aarch64 and riscv got ports and support primarily because they have major industry backing, not because of hobbyists.

I'm also at a startup using rust. It's true that the feedback loop can sometimes feel bit slower. One thing that helps here is being test driven so that you're not waiting for compiles just so you can click through to confirm

in 2003 you hoofed your servers to a colocation center and plugged them into the internet yourself. Deploying was something you did over `scp`. Buy a big server and you're good to go. That can still be the case these days (see stacko

they do have a fiduciary duty. what does that mean? it's not clear. people interpret it to mean increasing shareholder value in the short term. it doesn't have to mean that, but that's how corporate management tends to behave
