How can someone say "the world is in peril" and not be sounding the alarm? Shouldn't they be calling for action across society?!?
His answer is to leave and get a poetry degree, so I’m not sure he’s exactly the revolutionary type.

Any similar benchmarks for MacOS?
I daily drive a couple Macs and enjoy them but I can't help but notice they seem slower in the terminal than the alternatives. Can't get any kind of discussion on /r/mac as it's just 'Apple silicon is fast!'
This has been posted on HN a few times and seems to show that terminal.app is your best bet for most cases if you care about latency: https://danluu.com/term-latency/
This is very cool and I'm glad the author compiled this material, but the site reminded me immediately of one I worked on (I ran the digitization lab in the special collections library for 3 years) in college, around 1997.
The Whitman Archive at UVA is ... unfortunately fairly similar in content presentation, even after having been updated a few times over the decades.

Not sure I can agree, I think the archive you posted is quite well laid out and from a cursory browse I found it easy to navigate. The site in the OP is far worse.

My code (that ChatGPT writes for me is from 500 to 1000 lines). Every 5-7 versions, it starts messing things up.
I keep the working versions on a Word file on a Landscape, A3, 3 columns (version number, comment/changelog, the_code)(yes, cheap, scalable, easy).
So, every 5-7 versions, I start a new chat. I ask ChatGPT to read/write a summary/description of the code, and then I proceed to ask it for new changes/enhancements.
Wait until you learn about git
What's the point of the 8000 LOC limit? Has anyone worked in a project with a LOC limit? Why was the limit in place?
It used to be a 1,000. I guess it’s just a reminder to be succinct.
It is an interesting thing to think about, I have friends that use Windows that are shocked that I willingly chose to get an external trackpad when I use my Mac as desktop.
Even more interesting is when I see my partner try to do something on my Mac using a trackpad, he seems... apprehensive? Like he is so afraid of doing the wrong thing and for me this trackpad has never done something I didn't want it to do. Like without even thinking about it while I was re-reading this comment, I had fingers just resting on my trackpad.
It has to be a combination of software and hardware. Likely shared software and hardware.
Like is wrist detection on the trackpad the same as the wrist detection on an iPad?
I believe that the 3D Touch tech that was once in the iPhone is the same tech that is in the track pad and the Apple Watch.
We saw them use the same (or similar) tech on the iPhone home button when they removed the physical button.
Is the multitouch functionality of the trackpad the same technology as in iPhones and iPads?
I am genuinely curious about some of these because they feel like the same technology from the outside looking in and it would explain a lot about why it works as well as it does.
And yeah on the ROI, I mean they sell a $130 external trackpad... that I had zero qualms about buying. Because when using my MacBook Pro as a laptop I heavily rely on gestures. Those gestures only work if the trackpad is as perfect as it can be. But those gestures is also software.
I got an external trackpad recently too for my Mac, but it feels noticeably less responsive than the one built into my MacBook, even when connected with a USB cable.
Do you mean to install Nix and then defer to that to build the image or for the image to be configured and setup on deployment? Genuinely interested if you have any insightful docs or pages on this.
Here’s a post from Mitchell Hashimoto of Hashicorp about doing just that: https://mitchellh.com/writing/nix-with-dockerfiles

Prof. Kak was my advisor during grad school. His notes are very valuable, he also has some great ones on deep learning.
Etc.
