I actually don't mind this at all. These days the norm seems to be to drop features just because it's more convenient. I think this hybrid approach is not bad at all: the new menu is more aesthetically pleasing and consistent from

I don't get Framework. The business offerings of HP, Dell and Lenovo have a lot of replacable parts, and you can easily upgrade the RAM and SSD on many. These laptops already exist for decades. Framework hardly brings anything new into

You're absolutely right!

I think it's strange too. Why is Lord of the Rings such a famous book series? Surely not because Tolkien could write faster than others.

I'm not an AI fanatic, but I do use ChatGPT often. In my experience, ChatGPT now is only marginally better than it was in 2022. The only real improvements is due to "thinking" abilities, i.e. searching the web and spending mo

You don't need a build step anymore with TypeScript since Node 24.

The original article was written by an employee of an AI company, demonstrating that a CMS is not really needed when you can use AI. Both are probably biased, but nonetheless both articles are worth a read. Re-evaluating established pattern

Exactly for this reason I bought a NAS where I can backup all my photos that are normally saved directly into iCloud.

I don't take notes on my phone. Sometimes I send a message to myself on Telegram so I can continue with the thought on my laptop.

Windows Notepad is seriously underrated. It also doesn't nag you with administrative tasks to "save" notes when you close Notepad. You close the editor, Notepad is gone. You open Notepad, the notes are there again. And since

It doesn't have to be thrown out. It can be re-used by someone else. Just build durable electronics. It will last a decade easily. Upgradeable laptops are actually less sustainable: people buy not 1 or 2 laptops, but 1.6 laptops: effec

For every Microsoft service there are 5 tiers of certifications that are needlessly updated every few years.

Things weren't simpler. The complexity was simply not visible because different teams/department were all doing a small part of what now a single team is doing with Kubernetes. Yes, for that single team it is more complex. But now

Exactly. The GPT 5 answer is _way_ better than the GPT 5.1 answer in the example. Less AI slop, more information density please.

I find it strange AGI is the goal. The label AI is off and irrelevant. A language model is not AI, even a large language model. But language models are still extremely useful and potentially revolutionary. Labelling language models as AI is

Scalability is not purely technical. It's also organizational. For all its drawbacks, the microservices architecture is easier to scale from an organizational perspective.

This is a strange perspective. Indeed, no one is paying for Copilot, but no one is paying for AI in general. No one is making any profit on AI. This is not a Copilot problem, but a characteristic of the AI market in general. Only the ones w

It has already been trained on all the data. The other obvious next step is to increase context window, but that's apparently very hard/costly.

What do you mean "future"? This is already the case. M-series chips share the same architecture with A-series CPUs. If you increase the A19 core count you'll end up with something close to M5.

It's everything else where MacBooks excel too. The build quality is insane, I've never seen a laptop with as little flex as a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. The keyboards are now finally great, and the display is amazing as well. Tra

There is no obligation to contribute back. That's the whole point of open source. It's irrelevant how much WP Engine contributes.

I personally use Windows + WSL2 and for work use macOS. I prefer Windows + WSL2 by a longshot. It just "works". macOS never "just works" for me. Colima is fine but requires a static memory allocation for the VM, it doesn

France and The Netherlands have a combined stake of almost 40% in Air France - KLM. It's not unheard of. 10% seems very reasonable for such a critical company for US interests.

It can consume almost 20W sustained, which is quite a lot. Competitors will definitely have fans roaring at this power draw. I think the all metal design makes a huge difference from a cooling perspective. The entire case is basically a hea

A lot of insightful comments already, but there are two other tricks I think Apple is using: (1) the laptops can get really hot before the fans turn on audibly and (2) the fans are engineered to be super quiet. So even if they run on low RP
