> right now Yes I admit the Silicon MacBooks are pretty good - albeit losing external GPU support and max 4 external monitors. The Intel MacBooks were unusable though. There is such a lack of competition. We really some new polished Linu

This Intel is my secondary laptop - but give it any kind of non-cricial task and the fan is on max and its practically unusable. I have M3 Max now.

I had a 13 Pro and I thought it was too out-dated which was why my Safari was ridiculously slow, so I bought the 16 Pro...noticed literally zero improvement. Overheats, bugs galore, search for apps is slow and still doesn't work. I am

Yes!!! Such great news. Apple has really gone to shit. I am confronted by Apple performance and bug pain every hour of my life. I always think: how can someone think this is acceptable? Steve Jobs wouldn’t. Everything is such trash I could

If people are willing to buy my product for $100 at most, I will earn $83 pre VAT (20%). If my product costs $73 to make, then I make $10 profit, and the government earns $17. The government then spends this $17 to the benefit of the citize

Social media is rapid fire short cuts and videos. Destroys our imagination and creativity. Instant satisfaction. When we imagine things we are exploring a tree of possibilities and following the branches that give us satisfaction.

There is a big opportunity for someone to make a all encompassing blocker. I am yet to find one. I think everyone is struggling with this in some way. Anytime I get setup with a blocker it helps heaps. But I always slip back in. Every sourc

> "move fast and break stuff" But it makes me wonder how people have time to invent all this shit when they need to move fast. Learning a new stack every 2 years doesn't seem like moving as fast as you could.

What was the exact moment the fraud began? What should he have done instead?

Easy... $`ls -al` or ls('al') And, transpile shortcut strings on-the-fly to TS code: ls({ all: true, oneEntryPerLine: true, })

We should stop using Bash, and use TypeScript instead. Bash is terrible.

Everyone bought into "immutable" "no side-effects" "one way data flow" as this ultimate goal. But never thought what the tradeoff is. And people get FOMO that they need to use a big thing that they couldn'

Exact same experience. Socialization is great but work is a solitary pursuit in an isolated space free from distractions.

Imagine being an Amazon delivery driver. Monitoring to the extreme. Constant boring shit all day. Running up apartment stairs. Then imagine an office worker... It's a world of difference and puts things in perspective. People take thin

My point is its a minor inconvenience compared to a lot the working environments people operate in.

"get the job done" is usually poorly defined.

The biggest issue for Mac users is the placement of the `command` key on the US ANSI keyboards - which is the layout for pretty much all mechanical keyboards. And the missing left `fn` key. It requires you to curl your thumb awkwardly when

Video conf still sucks. It's literally the same as 10 years ago. Does anyone have a workplace where it is really seamless, high resolution, and just works? Or is using any of these new technologies? Maybe VR will help... But not being
