It also renders on GitHub in markdown files with ```mermaid``` code blocks so it's super useful for adding architecture diagrams and similar to your README

I can't imagine most of the average users, exactly who this laptop targets, are going to remember or even care which port they're plugged into. Most people don't even need to plug in external drives anymore because most of wh

I think it's more that you don't need to look at the actual tree structure all that often, especially when most codebases follow logical and conventionalised structures you remember these structures and can use Command-P to search

I appreciate progressive enhancement and keeping JS minimal, however I think that selective and clever usage of JS is infinitely better than none whatsoever. That said I agree with the sentiment that modern web development 100% has entirely

This is cool but most of this stuff for me is just set and forget, I rarely need to change those things so frequently I need it in my menu bar.

I find rust much noisier, especially at its basics where you write “for item in items” instead of using iter()

Both are apart of the toolchain now, no external dependencies required: `swift format` and `swift format lint` to access them

Because it's a new base MacBook? so MacBook Neo.

Average user doesn't know to look at refurb, the M1 Air will slowly drift out of manufacturing due to component sourcing etc.

Honestly 128MB might be too much...

I use an M2 Air with 8GB of RAM. I code in Swift, SwiftUI and Rust regularly with Xcode and Zed editor. I play games with Crossover and Native ones such as Control at over 30 fps. The M2 Air is an absolute powerhouse with tremendous battery

This! It's enough power for the average user and comes with less headaches than Windows and Linux, plus most users are familiar with iPhone and it's basically the same, easy choice for most people.

For the average user (office and student) this is all they need, access to office apps, ChatGPT and their google cloud and that's enough. They don't need it to "fly" through coding tasks and games that's not what it

They are both built upon Darwin, Apple's BSD-based kernel, they are essentially the same OS underneath with different top level API's and even those are getting more uniform with Swift and SwiftUI.

macOS is shockingly good at memory management, the issue is most people will want to slap Chrome and run 50 tabs on it, if you use Apple's built in tools and treat it essentially like you do your iPhone but with some better features fo

When compared to the rest of the line up it is only, the Air is now $999 for the base model, that's 1k, 500 is cheap in comparison and for the quality it beats out a lot of laptops in this price range.

The thing is you could use it for 6 to 8 years if all your doing is editing documents and other tasks like that. No one is buying this to play games on or code massive AI powered applications, it's literally the "Well I need a com

It's mostly for people who need to edit some documents, a few photos here and there and other things like that. 8GB of RAM is going to be enough for the average user.

I think 90% of people will be fine with just an iPad. Some will need a small bump for laptop OS but not necessarily the specs which is where the Neo comes in, then the Air is for medium workflows and Pro is for if you do anything long runni

You can actually use most Apple devices without signing in. There are obviously a lot of benefits to the ecosystem but you can enjoy the hardware etc. without signing especially on Mac. For iPhone you'd need to learn to side load apps

by qn9n 8mo ago
The ecosystem is fine for non-Apple development. It's just building apps for iOS, macOS, etc. that is impossible on iPad right now past some basic applications.

I agree Codex has a much nicer interface however I find 90% of the time the output just isn't quite as effective as what Claude is generating.

Pretty sure iOS 7 was regarded as awful on launch and then a little while later people decided it was amazing and lovely to look at once the kinks were ironed out. People just don't like new things that change what they are used to.

I found the Brewfile and a little `setup.sh` to be more than sufficient for getting a new Mac setup.

Also with migration assistant on Mac you basically do not need this in anyway shape or form.
