I just got an iPhone SE 1st gen, for the size and headphone jack. It's great.

In my experience it’s not quite the opposite but quite different. Twitter is fine for apolitical people. They don’t follow the politics. And then Twitter is fine for people of a certain political leaning. Everything else in this space is fo

There’s a couple inaccuracies you’re making, but here’s the most blatant: > Jobs fundamentally hated the Macintosh and tried very hard to get away from it very early (Newton, anyone?). Jobs had nothing to do with the Newton, it was start

“Feminism” is a whole lot more than a single notion, it’s also several movements over a hundred years old. I think in this case GP is referring to fourth-wave feminism.

I used a Galaxy S8 for 3 years, I did like it, but switching back to a budget iPhone was marginally better for a fraction of the price. I daily drove some budget phones last year on Android, which was not an enjoyable experience. My origina

GP here. If you’re talking about the Moto G Play, it gets pretty slow after a few days of usage in my testing. I used it for 6 months last year. There’s several apps for Android that I would avoid using when possible because they were unbea

You haven’t daily driven Android since at least the iPhone 3GS, according to your comment. There’s a reason they’re able to charge 30%, have a dominant market position in the US, and people continue to release apps for iOS (and prioritize l

Sort of, I’m not sure if the earnings cap for welfare is at a similar level to the US, but somewhere between underemployed and full-time welfare also cuts off, so people face similar decision making. EDIT: reading the sibling comment, I wan

The Vision Pro is right around the corner. This will be an upsell.

They might’ve been referring to mistral-medium, the larger version, which is not open source. The open-sourced version was the small variant.

After my gaming computer started rebooting (probably needs a new power supply in order to hit peak power draw), I tried out my new M2 Pro for gaming again. I've been using Codeweavers Crossover to play games that are Windows only, and

AFP not working was bothering me after updating to 14.1(.1). I have a Mavericks machine around (I know, it's old) that I was reliably copying files to/from until that update -- along with Apple Remote Desktop -- broke and I just c

Very much agree. I would say in jest that it might be inversely correlated with success, but you also wouldn't want to work with, say, brainfuck.

I tried out FreeBSD and loved it, between the documentation, cohesion, and the ports system. Unfortunately, I need Docker for work on a few different projects -- one for Supabase migrations, and another project that's orchestrated (in

That’s like saying it’s best to run everything on AWS, because there’s only one place to monitor for outages. That’s the exact opposite of how supply chain mitigation works.

Wow I recognize your name, thanks for the macOS 10.9 fixes page and your Chromium-Legacy downloader! If sideloading becomes popular, the real goal is to just be able to run those apps that aren’t in the store, right? As a sibling comment sa

It's really not that simple. That said, it's interesting to note that 3 active senators, and 2 outstanding voices of the right, are all Cuban American and children of Cuban immigrants who came over during the Cuban Revolution them

Thanks for shouting out h264ify. I run older hardware and have been (mostly passively / randomly) trying to figure out how to use less resources. A lot of older hardware isn’t _too much slower_ than today’s with the exception of these

That was my first impression too, but it actually makes sense. According to a linked article by the same author: > it’s apparent that during Game Mode, the game was given exclusive use of the two E cores, and threads from other processes

> Of note, the distutils package has been removed from the standard library. How is this not a major version change if a module is removed from the standard library? Other breaking changes too. This is confusing to me.

Would you value this take on YC whatsoever if they hadn’t been it in? How would they know what it’s really like?

I’m curious as someone with a local library, how do you stream it in a different format than it’s encoded in, from your phone?

Workplace culture? When we were in the office, whiteboards were used at least weekly. A bit different now with remote-first or hybrid... If one person isn't in the office, it's basically dead in the water.

Bandcamp is profitable. How would selling at what's likely a loss from their purchase price going to look good to investors?
