Indeed, on modern laptops and phones every UI interaction should be instant (check out BeOS in 1995 for comparison). For background stuff, add some progress indicator. Can't believe the crap OSes and frameworks add these days in terms

Then don't. Isn't the whole point of long support cycles that you can keep using your phone for 5 years +, if it serves you well? (typing this from an S22)

I think local-first is a good heuristic in that it would avoid needless pushing of goods around the globe (or needless round-trips of lots of data around the globe). Also, some people might like it if a product or service was made in US, Sw

Clearly not, or this wouldn't be something people discuss at all. There are lots of people who belong to the above groups, sure, but at least here in Germany Nazi is now applied to basically anyone who doesn't vote green, it'

I think there is value in an app you can drag/drop or exe you can just click (trust issues aside, maybe get them from some marketplace or walled garden) and that will keep working after the next OS update or get updates for future chan

It's called omakase, or rather aimakase in this case.

People will always pay for packaged convenience and a vendor that will keep things working/compatible in the future, IMHO.

You could say that the difference between "don't be evil" and having no backbone at all is quite a strong incentive (and strongly influences your brand valuation), but once your reputation is in the gutter, maybe it doesn&#x2

Welcome to production software, where you really want to pin all uncertainties and dependencies, and roll back in case a major problem occurs.

With load on it and a bright room (= display reasonably bright as well) my M3 also doesn't always last 8h. But it gets very close. Intel machines are more like 3h in that case.

Is it fanless, too? (or has the fan pretty much always off like a MBP)

Funny how the US produces many more and more successful startups, while in Germany health insurance is like 200 bucks a month (if you have no income) and I think even free if you're unemployed.

If you're eating "well" but don't feel/sleep well, are you really eating well?

Tell that to Germans. Winter air here is extremely bad. Rising natural gas prices due to the Ukraine war also made even more people install fireplaces (as if that was cheaper).

They also had furniture built by prisoners in East Germany, and I don't think they got paid.

I once mentioned a street name to a Dane, who didn't understand me, and when I showed her the written name she pronounced it the same way. Maybe sometimes people have weird assumptions how foreigners are supposed to sound.

I believe that how you feel after a night's sleep is mostly due to nutrition (long term, not just the day before).

In Germany there is the NINA warning app which filters based on region. You'll sometimes get warnings that there's is a fire somewhere, please keep windows closed, or if they found a WW2 bomb (every couple months) on a constructio

Why can't renters plug a battery into their socket, too? As long as the electric house grid is rated for the specified power (might not be the case on some countries, or in extremely old homes).

I think most electric car batteries are still at over 80% capacity after 10 years usage, so hopefully you can use them much longer than that. If you only cycle then in the 20-80% range, they'll last much longer (at least for NMC cells,

Strange article, even though the idea is nice. $200 birthday presents might be a thing in America in some circles, but for German standards that is ludicrous (even 50 bucks is quite a lot, and then you need 32 people). I also don't get

Indeed, IMHO romance on tv did much more to poison relationships than pr0n. I'm pretty sure most guys know that what they see on pr0n isn't "real."

What about a guy with a lawnmower intentionally chopping off your foot? And what about a CEO making decisions on behalf of the corporate entity called Oracle?

Wait until you hear about German electricity prices... (household elec is about 30-35c/kWh, public charging stations for electric cars often charge 60-70c/kWh, no joke, although I think some vendors now offer 40c charging with a s

I wonder if infections do not cause more dementia, but are simply correlated with more. A weaker immune system may trigger many many things. And similar questions about obesity "causing" many diseases, sunburns causing skin cancer

This is very cool and should become a standard feature at least in reasonably dense populated areas.

The question to ask is: did those people who got remission do so because of the treatment, because of something else, or despite treatment? It seems to me that much of modern chemotherapy is rather barbaric, but this is very much an outside
