I find it's way easier to build crappy React apps than an HTML-first approach. An "old school" Ruby on Rails/Symfony/Django app, with templates, usual get/post forms etc, frames you and pushes you in using the

I'm astonished by how far those aim trainer tools go haha, and how popular they are. I discovered Aimlabs[1] recently, which seems like the most popular one, and it has 6 000 people playing right now. For us keyboard geeks, there is mo

Yeah, I'm really not sold either on the speed aspect. I'm using warpd which is a similar tool, and for me it's really not about speed, but more about the comfort of keeping my hands on the keyboard. Still using the mouse a lo

I agree the discomfort, or after a while, even the pain when using the trackpoint, is something very noticeable on modern thinkpads. I don't recall being this annoyed with the older thinkpads like T61, x200 and all. Or maybe we are jus

You certainly can't remap the Fn key on the software side. If the keyboard firmware allows to remap the Fn-layer it would be a dream :)

To nuance this, the more you go up in specs, the more macbook become more expensive than comparable framework. Try to compare with a 64GB framework or 2TB framework for example. One benefit of framework is you may not need to get storage, a

I'd bet a bunch of money that it's barely used anymore. Only benefit of trackpoint nowadays is that you don't move your hand. Otherwise, it's all downsides compared to modern trackpads, especially haptic ones like here.

yeah, why don't vendors just copy the damn thinkpad layout? It's a _pro_ line-up, we deserve a keyboard where _pros_ can directly use the keyboard shortcuts in their _pro_ apps :) I wonder if the 13 pro uses qmk or similar for its

I have to agree the keyboard layout is a noticeable bummer. The only actually impactful one I can find on this laptop on my side for now. So, props to the team still!

Man, this looks really, really impressive. It basically solves every issue we could find to the framework 13. Can't wait for the reviews. Accepting the prices of the ram shortage era is still painful, but even with the 64gb option, her

I agree that Laravel models rub the wrong way, but that shouldn't instantly remove Laravel from the equation when thinking about what tools to use for building a website. Laravel is great for shipping things fast. Sometimes, that'

vscode is noticeably slow compared to sublime text or zed, even without any extension. You instantly notice it when switching files or typing things that trigger auto-completions. In the end the feeling is drastically different. It weirdly

Yeah, nowadays the trackpoint is just a bad pointing device. As laptops get slimmer, trackpoints get less precise and less usable. And they hurt our wrists. We just have to let go. A haptic trackpad is miles better now.

It's not only considered, it's a an actual goal to be 100% usable by everyone. It's already the case for some of La Suite projects. Not quite there yet right now for some others, but it will be. And I agree, lots of popular,

All the projects are already open sourced actually, but admittedly all don't have documentation as good as docs or meet. Still a wip :)
