Not a great way for me to hear about Northflank for the first time.

Because no one cares about the nerdy stuff, they just want Lambos

In many cases that’s an advantage. Tiny (or no) attack surface, less power, etc

In your shoes, I'd just get whatever Pro processor is available at that time. (Knowing that new processors were coming, I happily bought an M5 Pro machine last month)

As pointed out in a sibling comment, 153GB/s.

I believe they're discussing the base processors as a way of comparing generations, since there is no M6 Pro/Max. (the M2 base was at 100GB/s)

For a direct comparison to your processor, the M5 Pro is at 308GB/s.

and I thought I was doing something special with my little GMKTec 32GB machine I use for a dev server haha

Did the same. Took a week or so to get used to the workflow after doing dev locally my entire career, but now I'm certain it's the best way to work. Even better is using a few scripts to simplify things like opening in VS Code (instead of `code folder-name` I run `codeon repo-name` from my local machine).

I did actually get a new M5 Pro/48GB machine last month, but that's only because I bought my work machine to keep my personal and professional lives properly separated; otherwise I wasn't seeing any issue running that M3 Max/36GB for a long time further.

According to the timestamp, that was uploaded less than 24 hours ago.

I'm not familiar with their site; I assume it's user-uploaded? In that case, it's the same challenge that every user-generated content site has, balancing openness with policing IP violations.

I spent a good part of my career as a CF developer, but I found Homesite in the mid-90s. As a poor kid at college, carrying my editor around on a floppy to the various computer labs (yes it fit!) was very convenient.

cfscript has been part of ColdFusion since 1998. It has expanded over time to include more functionality, but it has been there.

Also the markup-based functionality hasn't gone anywhere.

Scarier than that is the idea of replacing you with someone far cheaper who can drive the AI.

Don't we do that to felons already? They violated the TOS of society, and are categorically banned from a significant portion of the job market.

While interesting, it reminds me of all the headlines over the years about governments who were switching off of Microsoft Office to OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Needless to say Microsoft didn't close up shop.
