IMO Framework is a gimmick company that capitalizes on techie hipsters who buy into their story. The repairability case is very weak - in 10+ years of owning laptops I never had one fail, they are reliable enough that outside the warranty p

Thats such a rear view mirror take. I am not in this industry but it was obvious Intel had a manufacturing advantage back then and this let them be the dominant player in this space for decades. High margins and they were the only game in t

Is it really 2x or is it 2x at max load ? Since, as you say, you're not peggig the CPU - would be interesting to compare power usage on a task basis and the duration. Could be that the 3D cache is really adding that much overhead even

Have you used Siri recently ? It's actually amazing how it can be crap at tasks consistently considering underlying tech. 1 in 5 hallucinations would be a welcome improvement. Using ChatGPT voice mode and Siri makes Siri feel like a le

I don't get what you are trying to say - are you going to create a task scheduler/thread pool as a singleton for background jobs ?

I am considering switching to Google, I am getting annoyed by Apple more and more, but the critical feature for me is AI assistant. I am the first to criticize the LLM hype and I do not expect much out of them - but the fact that I cannot g

by rafaelmn 1y ago
You have no control over concurrency/scheduling, have to manage scoping, error handling, etc. TPL/Threads add to much low level noise to the logic. Like you could easily blow up the thread pool depending on what you are doing, whe

Croatian price increases are topping the EU stats for years now and it accumulates, especially in real-estate. There are some comparable situations in EU, but overall I would say comparable countries like Italy, Spain, Greece did not have n

But Lisbon is, which is why Portugal situation is likely even worse (that was what I was trying to say). I can only imagine Zagreb prices if it was on the coast.

by rafaelmn 1y ago
Yes but you can also live in other cities in Europe on the coast with similar or lower prices and different tradeoffs. This is my entire point - this was not the case a few years ago - I would say all the comparable coastal regions in the E

Not really - there is no right shift, Croatia is very catholic and right leaning since the civil war. But at the same time the I would say it's mostly performative and not really that extreme as painted in the article.

I didn't pick Vienna as a comparison, I just said that cost of living and living standards between two are very much out of proportions. But you can compare to cities in Italy, Spain, Greece, etc. the choice is nuanced and based on wha

by rafaelmn 1y ago
Yes I believe Portugals and Croatias stories are very similar, your capital being a coastal city probably makes it even worse with regards to tourist inflation.

by rafaelmn 1y ago
Yeah but you can't compare living in Vienna and Split - Vienna is a top tier city - huge regional capital with so many things going on and offerings. Split is a C tier city dead outside of tourist season, like the rest of the coast. 26

Depends on what you are looking at - but yes. Wages also rose considerably, below inflation, but still I think thats the same story as everywhere else. I think the main difference is that (in my opinion) Croatia used to be unbeatable for th

As a Croatian citizen working remotely - this would have been a much better deal pre-covid. Ever since we entered the eurozone and the EU funds started pouring in the prices skyrocketed (even compared to the rest of Europe, not just global

Ask for a Mac ? At this point enough manager were sold on it that most places have to support MacOS, and its popular enough with devs to also have to support dev environments on it. Like even if you prefer Linux, Mac is a huge step up over

I have a feeling that this kind of efficiency/capacity analysis is similar to that joke about economist designing a human, instead of having two kidneys you have 5 people sharing one. I am a pro market guy for a lot of things, but what

The problem with consumer health sensors is they have both high random error and inconsistent systematic error. When your SPO2 sensor gives you 92% one minute and 98% the next while you're sitting still and it is almost always 2% under

Summarization ? I'm pretty sure there are benchmarks for this because people used summarization to build search indexes (at least a few years ago when I was working on this they did and there were benchmarks)

I've seen the worst impact on mid/junior level devs. Where they would have to struggle through a problem before - AI is like a magic shortcut to something that looks like it works. And then they submit that crap and I can't t

What would be the benefit over Razor pages tho ? Component model ? Feels like partial views and razor templates might not be the cleanest/dry-est solution but would make the implementation super straightforawd.

I inherited an MVC app that has a bunch of jQuery rendering crap and I would like to move to server side components - since you seem to be into Blazor Server side - have you heard of HTMX ? What would you say would be the benefit of Blazor
