MacBook Air with M5 5 months ago

Mine shipped with one. It's not perfect, but it's always been more than capable for me. Did yours not boot into anything on startup?

Notice the absurd number of young, frail people with canes and masks.

I don't notice them. Do you have numbers to back this up?

that would be solved if they started an aerobic and strength training regimen.

Source?

It nearly breaks me, too. It breaks me because it stigmatizes medication that has helped make me function in a world not designed for me. It breaks me because it stigmatizes medication that on average is going to let me enjoy being on this earth ~7 more years than I otherwise would be.

The obvious foil to the lithium industry is the fossil fuel industry. Lithium mining isn't inherently bad, it's only bad in the case where children are being forced to work in the mines. Fossil fuels is an inherent negative due to its outsized environmental impact.

You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I had only used CarPlay once in a rental prior to buying my Tesla. I don't feel like the infotainment thing in my Y is missing anything, but I also don't really know what I am missing out on.

What about CarPlay/Android Auto are you concerned about losing? I'm not trying to convince you that you don't need it, I just honestly don't know what I'm missing.

I roughly agree with you in enjoying the table of contents.I wouldn't say I love the site though.

I find the blue-on-white text difficult to read. Though, surprisingly, it's a bit easier to read on mobile for me.

The line height is too short to read easily.

I have a lot of trouble with the "How and why EasyOS is different" page. Especially on mobile where it's nearly unreadable for me.

I don't understand this sentiment. I'm not attacking, I'm trying to understand.

So if there's opportunity for a feature that adds real value for many people to an application without it affecting the core of the product, it shouldn't be added? I can add passwords and unlock websites just as quickly with 1Password as I could 8 years ago. Why does adding other useful, related features make a difference?

While Bootstrap certainly abstracts CSS away for you in a way that you can get by without knowing much about CSS (for simple things), Tailwind is just tokenized CSS. You can't use Tailwind without knowing CSS or learning CSS in the process.

That feels pretty lean and simple to me.

along with the suspiciously-timed relaxation of pornographic generations

Has ChatGPT's censoring (a loaded term, but idk what else to use) been relaxed with GPT-4o? I have not tested it because I wouldn't have expected them to do it. Does this also extend to other types of censorship or filtering they do? If not, it feels very intentional in the way you're alluding to.

I have a LG 38WN95C (3480x1600, 144hz, thunderbolt 3) monitor that's plugged into my Macbook Pro (M1 Pro _I think_, I'm not home to doulble check). The laptop is in clamshell and plugged in via Thunderbolt 3. IIRC, I had to turn the refresh rate down to 120hz, but otherwise it works well. The only hiccup is that if I unplug it, use it for a bit, and plug it back in I have to open the lid one time after plugging it in so it can realize it's plugged in to a display.

I have a M3 Pro MacBook Pro for work that I also swap between on the display using the single cable that I remove from one to plug into the other. The laptop travels with me to work where it plugs into a 16:9 4k 60hz monitor while it's open. I have the same clamshell issue as my personal laptop where I have to open it once after plugging it in, but otherwise it works pretty well.

I do however have to do some workspace rearranging when I go from clamshell->ultrawide to my work setup of open lid->16:9 monitor. But that's no a huge deal since I'm going from 1 screen to 2 screens.

There are benefits to a compilation (transpilation?) step that are worthwhile. Most notably, types/typescript.

Everyone's bar for what is bloat is a bit different. Everyone's definition of simple and clean is different. Typescript, even with a compilation step, is simple and clean to me. Javascript without types is the opposite of simple. Javascript without types is the opposite of clean.

The parent comment was just offering alternative approaches to the problem that the thread's link addresses. That seems like a perfect use for a comment on this thread. It's the furthest thing from "off topic".

Might be hard to believe

This is condescending and unhelpful.

Literally the same experience as me. I had not been to UG since I started my career as a dev. I now have thoughts and opinions about the internet. UG goes against basically every single one of them.

I honestly don't understand why it ended up like that. Did they really have that much trouble monetizing the largest collection of community-made content for guitar playing? Did YouTube eat their lunch in that regard? I imagine they had editorial staff for the articles (going off my 12+ year out of date memory), was that what was costing them so much? I really have no clue.
