I bought the 16gb M1 Mac Mini and so far great. I have a work laptop though (provided by work/required) which I use for my paid work, so there's less pressure for everything to be bug-free out of the box. If it's your main wo

We will find out is the only sensible answer, as the question is too complex really. But, one obvious impact will be labour supply. Fewer European area devs will come to the UK, which will make things less attractive for big tech companies.

The problems stem from the lack of top-level functions; everything has to live within a class. In reality, classes (or 'modules' if you prefer) should be low-granularity things in most programs.

Unionisation and collective bargaining does achieve progress, as does regulation. Minimum wages are a great example of the latter. I'm not quite sure what is driving your passivity here.

Squarespace is pretty good for this to be honest.

I don't know how City Mapper is getting that number to be honest. TFL gives 35 minutes, and that includes 5 minutes for walking out the tube at Kings Cross. The trick is you have to change at Stockwell onto the Victoria Line. Nb. I did

It feels like there are some inconsistencies in this article: * we're using projects internally and don't want the hassle of rewriting import paths when making backwards-incompatible changes * we don't want to just give up on

Ha I agree with the broad point, but as someone who (used to until Covid) commute from South London to Kings Cross everyday, this doesn't seem true timewise until you live quite far South in London. And I live a 15 minute walk from a t

The model is unsound. Private vehicles on roads in cities cause a ton of pollution (and I don't mean CO2) that is very undesirable. Public/mass transport with good mechanisms for short journeys to and from hubs is a better model

I would agree up to perhaps £100k (or perhaps £150k in an expensive place like SF) but beyond that I think there are very diminishing returns to wealth and other things, like vision/purpose and relationships dominate decision-making. (

I think you should wait if you can. See what the new ARM macs are like. If they're good buy one, else get an Intel one then. It's only a few months.

An alternative that a lot of people do is rent a car just for holiday, as it ends up cheaper. Or just get the train and rent on arrival.

I'm very sympathetic to your criticisms of the UK/US, but I think you are taking for granted the great many freedoms you enjoy (I assume you are from one of these countries but apologies if not) and are being naive (or just perha

I'm not sure it's just a China-US thing. I think Europe will increasingly find itself taking a role. India too. To clarify, while US-China superficially seem like the 'sides'. Really, what I think is happening is that th

Our governments balance these concerns all the time: economic cost vs security risk. It's very normal.

This kind of thing is going to play out a lot over the next few years. It's a tough question: how to marry globalisation with the political realities. When China was very poor, it didn't really matter, or perhaps the assumption wa

There is a difference between China is 'uniquely evil' and 'China has an especially bad record on human rights and fair enforcement of the law.' Remember, in China there is pretty much no freedom of thought, including re

Soon you should be able to use one of the newer 5g offerings that work over the air. It might be worth checking this is not already an option for you in fact. We're using 3s new 5g service and it's £25/month (2 year contract)

I appreciate the point, but surely both are possible!?

The intention is good, but if the NHS needs more money (which it almost certainly does), for wages or otherwise, increased taxation seems like the better choice.

I suspect loneliness/isolation is the biggest issue for most. At the moment it's great because I'm at home with three housemates/friends. But I think I'd get lonely pretty quickly if it was just me. Co-working space

You shouldn't just copy paywalled content onto Hacker News. It's reasonable to question whether paywalled sources should be posted, but you are stealing content and harming the interests of one of the US's major journalism co

It's really not difficult to think of many ways that would have been an improvement over what they did.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. As you say, Buffet himself is asking to be taxed more. It's not really relevant to say that he's giving it to charity here. (Although I think it's great that he is.)

Small changes. If possible, pick a bit of logic and extract it into a (unit) testable function. Release it, see if anyone shouts. Repeat. Even then, it is often hard to justify this work/find the time. It depends on how long you think

Thanks. One does wonder why they have tens of thousands of content moderators, none of whom are actual employees.
