They still probably use equipment, packaging and other materials that come from overseas. Or they work with suppliers impacted by tariffs. Their costs are going up. Everyone's costs are going up, although some more than others.

Hawaii is the only U.S. state where you can grow coffee and their coffee costs a fortune. You need tropical weather and high altitude. Florida won't cut it. Besides, we already have fruit rotting in the fields in Florida because there&

Someone can fork chromium if need be. There are at least a couple organizations with chromium-based browsers that have maintained their own engines in the past. Chromium is objectively very good so it’s not like it’s the time when we were l

Why would you charge an aluminum brick?

Absolutely. This isn’t just about the F16 and F35 either. It effectively ends or drastically changes the upcoming NGAD before they even get started. Any previous sales projections are irrelevant in a world where the USA has essentially remo

The 3’s are not replacing 2’s at the same shot percentage. The 3’s are slightly lower percentage, but they are high enough that the overall value is higher than the long 2’s they replaced. They came to the conclusion that the long 2 was a h

What does that have to do with anything? We are talking about free market with regards to EVs and I’m saying there isn’t one due to Musk’s influence in the U.S. government. Whether or not voters supported that or continue to support it is b

Is it a free market when Musk has unfettered access to the inner workings of the U.S. government? He just shut down an entire agency with a tweet. He is in a position to effect policies that favor him and his companies. How can anyone else

Maybe a controversial opinion, but screw them for delisting games. Why would I buy these games when they obviously have no interest in selling them? To me, this is a license to go download the ROMs.

by jm4 2y ago
Running games in a VM appliance or an immutable container type of environment could be neat. Or some kind of hardware device. Like a console on an expansion card that could enable a secure environment while still letting you use your hardwa

I didn’t have a clue. That wasn’t part of my skillset. All we needed was a headless browser that was automated. It was crawling a few million pages a day. I had a debug console where I could see cached pages, headers, cookies, etc.

This looks awesome. About 15 years ago, I started working on a headless browser and maintained it for several years. It used SpiderMonkey as the js interpreter and had a custom DOM implementation. It ran all the modern js from the time, AJA

I don’t think there’s a good reason. BSD has comparatively poor hardware support, and software availability, while generally ok, is worse than Linux. BSD is simpler to modify because it’s all one stack and it has a license that benefits sel

The whole article seems unfair to Intel. They didn’t lose the contract because they didn’t have it in the first place. I think your analysis is correct. They win a little if they don’t get the contract and they win a lot if they do. It was

So is it mainly for lefties? I hold my phone with my right hand and that button is inaccessible. Based on the downvotes, I feel like I must be missing something.

How about getting rid of that stupid back button in the top left corner when an app opens another app? It drives me crazy seeing it every time I click a link in a message. It's the most useless thing. There's already a good app sw

This is a pretty lousy list. It leaves off a lot of reputable services and products in favor of little known ones. I wouldn’t touch most of these for professional work.

Why do it this way instead of just using GNU stow?

by jm4 2y ago
Why should they try to reach feature parity with some other engine that has more developers and more money? That's a losing strategy. They are running their own race and I think it's great. Kagi assistant is incredibly useful and

Remember that bullshit demo video where it drops the guy off in front of the office and parks itself? I don't understand how Elon isn't behind bars by now. How many staged demo videos have we seen? How many promises? These silly i

I am so bitter about my FSD purchase in 2019. At the time, there were some enhanced autopilot features and the rest was promised by the end of the year. I occasionally try it out and it's so bad. It feels completely unsafe. FSD has lef

What’s wrong with it? It’s really a good description of what it is and Nix users immediately recognize the association. It’s a great name if you are trying to attract Nix people.
263.
by jm4 2y ago
I’ve noticed the same things, but I think it’s a symptom of Nix being so polarizing in the first place. I can’t think of another piece of software I dislike so much but I’m willing to put up with it because it’s just that good. Like I can’t

People are just piling on here and I suspect there is a misunderstanding because this makes zero sense. The article is based on 4 tweets, 3 of which no longer exist. It’s a poorly researched and poorly written article based on largely non-c

What’s with all these new versions of GNU utilities being built with the MIT license? Seems like there are a lot of them.

It really was good. From a user perspective, it blew Windows and Mac out of the water. The performance and reliability were unmatched on the desktop. I remember being able to change network settings without a reboot, which no other desktop

It's not just this administration going after tech. The other guys got the ball rolling, although they use a different narrative to sell it. I think most people recognize there are various problems with the industry that essentially al

I think even worse than that is that they still only put 8 GB RAM in the base and middle options.

Correct. All of those products were pretty crappy when they were first released and then got very good. In the case of the iPhone, I think it was like the third revision when it got good. The iPad comes to mind as one of their only somewhat

Yet, the engineers did go with two AoA sensors. The MBA’s aren’t putting the planes together. Ultimately, it’s engineers who build the planes within the budget and parameters set by the bean counters. Somebody decided 2 AoA sensors were goo
