I've held most of these in my hands and typed in apps. They are not even from the same universe as the Macbook 12". Razor? Dell? Not even close when they are in the hand.

I looked at PC laptops recently for a linux project machine. You're going to be very disappointed in the build quality if you're coming from Apple. They are just-OK, and every little detail is worse.

Sounds like "acquihire in 2 years for $25M"

This thing looks terrible. How did "Let's add TouchID to the MacBook!" become "Let's get rid of escape, power, function keys, volume, brightness, media controls ... and replace it with a second tiny screen!"

I don't know if it was ever intended as a consumer facing name, but even without the "coma" puns, it's too wonky for customers, do you think? Besides, isn't one comma 99k worth of room? It's marketing lingo aim

I can imagine overhearing the mass market consumers: "Oh, the name is inspired from classification language ... "

I'm just amazed at what a bad name that is. "Comma One" ... Did they never think that it would be called the The Coma One after even the slightest inevitable incident? Or that a segment of people will be innocently misspe

If you want to tamper with content on the web, the idea that content is fingerprinted in IPFS is a huge deal. IPNS (the name service) then becomes the vulnerability, but that is also distributed.

Well that is potentially huge.

> The energy spent for TCP/IP stack usage is negligible at best. Not true, especially en masse. Even less true for wirelessly connected devices.

Hopefully it's not related threats about hacking during the election. Remember that recently Biden openly threatened cyber attack on Russia if they make any attempt to tamper with the election. Which is completely unprecedented, as i

A clear recipe for hiring B's under a clickbait title. I'd fire that guy first.

Contrast doesn't bother me. It's the countless popups, and repositioning the content multiple times after loading.

On a related note, I think people should tone it down on calling their pet processes a "best practice".

This is nice. Better than /etc/hosts which I've used for this for a long time. Switching over to this.

Attacks on the ICs are probably possible if corners are being cut. Purely speculation but if this was the case I would be glad it was called out so fast.

If it's ultimately code that prevents the battery from overheating, in some architectures, what's to prevent a Stuxnet for batteries?

I can't say I'm surprised I'm only shocked they didn't really prepare for the eventuality. One of the countermeasures we can expect is "persistent aerial surveillance" (airship based eye-in-the-sky platforms)

Performance is great. Module loading is easy. Template expressions are powerful. Typescript is actually pretty cool. You don't use it very much at first and aren't required to. It saves a lot of time to use something that just wor

Yay marketing! I feel inspired to remove expensive healthy ingredients from other products.
