One of those history lessons is that change happens. This is why Rust has editions: allows for new features without breaking old code. There is still code complexity, but that complexity has been shifted/amortized into the compiler sui

I had two 4K monitors in portrait mode. Meant less vertical scrolling. I generally put different contexts on different screens, eg. code/terminals on one monitor and browsers with results on the other. Laptop screen left open as well f

I'm not a gamer. I'd be fine with a single cable that served two 4K monitors at 30Hz from the Mac if it meant I never needed another dock ever again. That said, TB3/TB4 should be able to handle dual 4K at 60Hz from a single D

A 2009 MBA can still be used if the SSD dies. You can get a replacement or you can plug in an external drive to install on and boot off of. You can upgrade the storage space on that model if you want to. Since 2018 and the T2 chip, the BIOS

CloudFlare remade their primary reverse proxy in Rust and had so few development issues, they ended up finding kernel bugs instead when problems arose. I've worked on projects with non-trivial C++ codebases for a variety of companies,

Perhaps it would help to know that I upgraded the RAM and hard drive on my 2005 Santa Rosa MBP. Really easy due to standard DDR2 SODIMMs and SATA connectors. Did the same to my 2009 unibody, put a 500GB hybrid solid state hard drive in it a

Guilt by association and/or ad hominem are weak sauce. What part was factually inaccurate? • That storage is soldered unlike the vast majority of laptops on the market, which use standard NVMe sticks? • That the BIOS is stored in those

Watch the video I linked. Modern Macs are a single capacitor failure away from shorting 13v straight to those "amazing focus on quality" SSD chips. Either one of the two chips dies, you have a brick. No booting from external drive

Two things I've been waiting on for years: • MST (DisplayPort daisy chaining) in MacOS. The hardware has supported it for over a decade. The OS is the weak link here. It's the difference between spending $75-$300 for a dock in add

I truly adore the work done here by Hasura. It follows the principles underlying SQL itself of defining an interface where the user request WHAT data they want, not HOW to get that data. Between this and Postgraphile's Grafast engine,

It was a debate, and Buckley got his ass handed to him. Soundly. Baldwin literally wiped the floor with him, and everyone there knew it. It was legendary for Buckley only insofar as he got the debate version of a royal beat down in public.
