If we are going so far to only guarantee correctness if we are using a FS that implements ACID semantics, why not just reinvent the whole kernel and remove all footguns, including memory safety? We could have a OS that each syscall to memor

Not sure how reliable this site is, but if it is correct it looks like 10: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-72/p... . Maybe coreutils is so old that most security vulnerabilities was solved b

I was using GNOME Console in a postmarketOS install in my Chromebook. The fact that it is lightweight compared to say Ghostty (my main terminal everywhere else) made a difference in performance for such a constraint device. And I didn'

Wait, what? ptyxis is not the default GNOME termjnal. It is the terminal of choice for both Ubuntu and Fedora, but the default terminal in GNOME is Console, internally known as kgx: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_T

I think there is a very specific niche that this notebook is target for, and this definitely doesn't seem for you, the kind of person that having a cheaper laptop is more important than some of the unique features than this one or a Fr

Exactly, that just reinforces the fact that the author is just blaming others instead of getting any valuable insights about this "postmortem analysis".

There is a difference between making a mistake like this one and being humble (e.g., lessons learned, having a daily external backup of the database somewhere else, or maybe asking the agent to not run commands directly in production but wr

I don't think this is a minor point. It seems clear by this point that the author is clueless how even API works and are just trying to shift blame for third-parties instead assuming that they're just vibecoding their whole produc

If that is true, this is malicious complaint. Unless Safari has the same restrictions, of course.

BetterDisplay allow you to disable the internal monitor while keeping the lid open, this way I can still use TouchID.

I think macOS makes some trade-offs to give a supposedely better user experience as long you're part of the 80%. If you're not though, yes it is painful. For me the macOS Display management experience is absolute dreadful. I had t

I agree with all your points. This was not me complaining, it was just an observation. I am actually really excited for a Apple laptop for once, since it is kind the perfect replacement for my Chromebook Duet 3 that I was looking for.

So my observation comes from the fact that UTM webpage: https://getutm.app/faq/#what-are-the-limitations . Now this webpage may be out-of-date, so take my claims with a grain of salt.

To be clear, I am not complaining. I am well aware that the target demographic is students and casual users. It is just an observation. However, the price argument doesn't make sense. I bought a EUR300 laptop for my wife 3 years ago th

I think this has no virtualisation instructions right? Since AFAIK, those are restricted to the Mx series. Of course the 8GB of RAM is also limiting for running any kind of VM, but this notebooks are almost exactly what I was looking for, e

The issue I have with `nix-shell` is that the evaluation time is long, so if you need to run the script repeatedly it may take a long time. `nix shell` at least fix this issue by caching evaluations, but I think uv is still faster.

Nix with Flakes never randomly break, I still have projects from 3 or 4 years ago that I can still run `nix build` and getting it running. Yes, if you try to update the `flake.lock` this may introduce breakages, but this is expected if you&

I am using purego indirectly in two pet projects of mine. While it has its own issues it definitely solves the issue of cross-compilation. In this particular case it may be that they will need to write a wrapper to abstract differences betw

This looks like backwards. I would understand using a LLM to generate a GitHub Actions YAML, but always running your action from a Markdown file seems extremely wasteful in terms of resources. Edit: ok, looking at example it makes more sens

And now we have things like `__attribute__((always_inline))` for GCC where you are completely, 100% sure that you want to inline :).
