You're out of date; Apple is soldering the memory to the CPU directly. I mean are you complaining that you can't swap your L2 cache or replace the math coprocessor? The history of computing is one of the CPU absorbing every single discrete component over time. Apple is at a point where the CPU has to absorb the RAM to maintain their performance lead. I'm happy I get a super fast computer.

And the battery or SSD?

A few weeks ago Apple had a tiny (<10MB) update for media codecs ready to install on my MBP. I expanded the details for that software update and saw that if I had run it, it would also have downloaded and installed Tahoe. Apple is burning so much trust right now with these dark patterns.

A thousand and one paper cuts. I feel like this shortsighted decision making will cost Apple so much trust in the long run.

Feels short sighted. Every such change gets me closer to ditching the ecosystem altogether.

Definitely going to give this a try. One thing I'm curious about--where are the servers? And if I want to choose hosting geographically close to me, how do I do that?

How much is “the public” making? The title of the post says millions. The title of the article says trillions. The second paragraph of the article says not trillions. Sheesh

I love squoosh! It’s been one of the few PWAs I have installed and actually use regularly.

Does anyone know if their optimization methods still best-in-class these days? It’s been good enough for all my practical needs, but I know it’s been around for a while and there may be better techniques for some file types now.

Love this! Just wanted to note that I think there’s a mistake on the flyweight pattern page’s example. You’re using getting a boolean with Set.has but treating it like a Book (as if you had used Set.get). I also don’t really understand how this saves memory if you’re spreading the result into a new object, but maybe someone here can enlighten me!

Ah I think I understand now. The return type of createBook is true | Book, which is likely a mistake, but happens to work because when you attempt to spread a boolean into an object it removes itself. But if you were to edit the example to have a stable return type of Book then it would no longer save memory, so perhaps that was intentional?
