Trading away your morals is definitely bad in a philosophical sense. Does selling your soul to the devil have a happy ending in any of the fairy tales?
I would trade in my ambition, though.

hatsix commented on Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR apple.com/newsroom/2026/0... · Posted by u/victorbjorklund
I might be the only one, but it's still to this date (and dating all the way back to 2014 with the first iMac 5k display) Apple is the only company that truly gets HIDPI desktop displays with high quality gloss and 200+ ppi at screen this large. In the meantime popular and widely sold gaming screens with matte blur filters and mediocre ppi give me headache and eye fatigue after a few hours of use. Prior generation Studio Display is the only external display that truly worked for text heavy work with my eyes (including software engineering), and I'm sure the latest generation is fantastic as well.
Personally, I can't handle glossy displays, trying to read with reflections gives me a headache. Most other manufacturers offer both glossy and matte, except for Apple, because they know better.
They releasee the iPhone 13 mini for all of the customers who wanted smaller phones
It sold very poorly. Despite all of the YouTubers and social media posts calling for smaller iPhones, the real demand for these is very small.
The older demographics generally prefer larger phones because they have larger screens, which are better for aging eyes.
"Didn't sell very well" = "Sold better than most Android phones that year"

> Isn't the reason companies are doing this because they're offering tokens at a discount, provided they're spent through their tooling?
Then maybe they should charge for that instead of banning accounts?
Google decided on their own business plan without any guns to their backs. If they decide to create a plan that is subsidized that's entirely on them.
Google wants usage that earns them street cred, not usage from bots who will never evaluate the output. They're all fighting tooth and nail to acquire customers, both free and paid... they didn't want their giveaways to be burned.

I think you would actually find biblical scholarship really interesting. It's way more fascinating than you give it credit for.
Biblical Scholarship is a lot like kindergarten art scholarship... I can look at my kid's art and identify the changing themes, influences of substitutes, changing friend groups, and step functions introduced by art class... And all of those are real and intensely interesting to me... but a random stranger will take a glance and notice that it's clearly in crayon by someone obsessed with the idea of cat and unicorn hybrids...
What I'm saying is that just because I could spend untold hours analyzing kindergarten art projects and present it to the parents in the class who will also find it intensely interesting, cat-icorns aren't real... they're just my child's way of imagining what's beyond their perceptions.
> I don't know what IntelliJ is.
It started as a modernized Eclipse competitor (the Java IDE) but they've built a bunch of other IDEs based on it. Idk if it still runs on Java or not, but it had potential last I used it about a decade ago. But running GUI apps on the JVM isn't the best for 1000 reasons, so I hope they've moved off it.
Android Studio is built on the IntelliJ stack. Jetbrains just launched a dedicated Claude button (the button just opens up claude in the IDE, but there are some pretty neat IDE integrations that it supports, like being able to see the text selection, and using the IDE's diff tool). I wonder if that's why Google decided to go VS code?

> is still ad-free
I use an adblock, so I don't see any ads on Reddit.
> I can't think of any way to look at this where Reddit is the lesser evil.
Reddit is the lesser evil for my personal use case because more and more Discord servers require a verified phone number to send messages. I can't get help if I can't send a message.
That's the individual server, not a standard Discord policy. Subreddits can also make gates that are exclusionary. So... not Discord the company.
Even if it was, "Requires a verified phone number" is not "Evil". You might not like it, it might be incomprehensible, it might be exclusionary, but it's not "Evil".
I can see that cutting out the LIDAR could qualify as "cheap." And maybe he's being risky on betting on lowering the cost by simplifying the technology.
But why make the jump to "fraud/charlatan"? Every system needs to be finite. We can invest in every bell and whistle. Furthermore, he's upfront about the decision. Fraud requires deception.
According to Musk, my car was supposed to be unsupervised driving by now. The shift to vision only has consumed all of their resources for the past several years, and my car has been left behind. There have been giant leaps in vision only, but it still isn't better than the vision+radar.
So, I was deceived. I didn't buy the car because of the deception, but I did buy FSD because of it.
Also, FSD disengaging when it gets sensor confusion should be considered criminal fraud. FSD should never disengage without a driver action.
Im confused, how is a different technology the bar to meet for a given technology?
That feels like saying “my car can go 60mph so thats the bar to beat for a bicycle”.
Whats the battery like on the daylight?
Both devices focus on readability and rely on a reflective screen. Both devices are monochrome.
This is like comparing OLED vs MicroLED. They're technically different technologies, and each has it's own strengths. The OP is saying that "Never Seen on ePaper" is like saying "The Best iPhone Ever"...
hatsix commented on The Gen X Career Meltdown nytimes.com/interactive/2... · Posted by u/littlexsparkee
Wild. I've heard of the end of e.g. journalism for years, since Craigslist... but as a software developer I thought I'd be immune to these kinds of shifts. Never thought the (career) reaper would come for me, haha.
I have some friends in Hollywood... they say there's nothing left, and not even a side-gig in Albuquerque left to pay the bills.
Been looking for a job, but in this downturn there's nothing available. After the economy recovers I have ageism and LLMs to look forward to. My own career mistakes as well—they were teaching fortran in school and I wanted to hack on Netscape for pay instead. ;-) Seemed like the right call at the time, but turned out dead wrong.
This absolutely has not been my experience. I'm on the cusp of Gen X, but I had to turn away requests to interview after I added #OpenToWork on LinkedIn. I ended up with four full loops in a single week, and a hard choice between three offers. I definitely shook my network to get internal referrals, but once recruiting knows you are a real person, most companies move quick.
Submitting resumes without a referral is useless, you gotta work your network.
