If they did they would be dead in a year. They sell a fraction of the >$1000 phones apple sells by the shipload. Their bread and butter is the cheap stuff. The same way nobody wants to spent $35k on a honda when they could have a tesla.

Things are where you’d expect, patterns and conventions cary on throughout the system, etc… Vs the disjoint feeling linux has.

He lost a little bit of credibility saying the Macbooks have terrible build quality… compared to a thinkpad they are on par or better, compared to everything else they are head and shoulders above.

Aside: AWS only allows registering 1000 targets in a target group… i wonder if thats the limit they hit. If so, its documented.

Why not just get an M1 macbook air? Its likely more performant, also has no fan, runs bsd, whats not to like? You could probably one day replace MacOS with openbsd if you wanted.

I dont understand why they sell the pro. The touchbar is rubbish and the air has 99% the same performance. Yeah the pro can go faster for longer without throttle but its heavier and doesnt have those physical f-keys. Its more expensive too…

Apple is the only laptop manufacturer that even gets close to 1000 cycles of great battery life.

I tried to package something on debian many years ago before and gave up. Apparently there were two sets of tools and I never could find good documentation on the “modern tools” or make sense of the docs for the older tools. I wonder if the

Thats just advertising! I dont work at facebook but i also wasnt born yesterday. Give people a taste so they want to sign up. That doesn't make them evil any more than a movie trailer makes hollywood evil.

This should be part of the manual. Ive tried multiple times to understand systemd deeper than a service restart here and looking at logs for a unit there to no avail.

Why does building from source help? It’s not like people are reading every line of the source before building it anyway 99.99% of the time.

Its insane that it has to be this complex and require third party software to accomplish… Most modern rdbms/nosql database vendors allow a rolling upgrade where you roll in new servers and roll out the old ones seamlessly. Also the fac

We get data into BigQuery from pg using a custom airflow plugin but recently started doing something similar on AWS with DMS to get data from postgres -> redshift. DMS is awesome. No code is the best code. Big query is great but not hav

When they make the desktop pro version its going to slap. This is a 15 watt part! You may not care about efficiency so then wait and see what the desktop part looks like.

I don't think you realize how far ahead the M1 actually is... it's about processing power per watt. The desktop you used actually 1) has a fan 2) is probably consuming many more than 15 watts 3) would burn my lap if it was anywher

I’ve tried to like the JetBrains stuff (especially Clion) but I just have never gotten to the point where I love it.
