How so? Never heard of anyone having any issues with them, and they are recommended by dentists pretty often

Would that potentially speed up Docker for Mac and others? (since it's using a vm underneath). That would address a major pain point

Substack must be thrilled with Twitter's decision to block their links (which will be reverted I'm sure), great publicity for Notes.

That's not true. You can bivouac (== 1 night stay) anywhere in France where it's not explicitly forbidden (e.g cities/towns/national parks etc). I did a small part of it last year and slept in a tent 5 out 6 nights.

I did a part of it last year. You need to walk with your tent, you won't reach a lodging site every night. I think the longest stretch without civilization (no village/town to buy food etc) is 5 days. So you also need to manage. your food and water supply.

The app is very helpful for that as it gives you water, food and lodging information on the trail related to your current position (so for instance you can see that in 10km there is a river/water fountain/grocery store etc.)

Where did you get one?

Please come to the Peninsula (with fiber, Millbrae). Tired of my only options being Comcast or VDSL at max 20mbps :/

One use case I see is if you're using Nix for all your local development, but Docker in production (because it's the easiest these days: package an image, give it to ECS/Fargate or equivalent and it's good to go).

You're not using Docker in development because of the sync issues on Mac between the host and the containers, but ideally you still want as much as possible the development and production environment parity (same versions of dependencies, etc). You can build your Docker images with Nix to ensure the dependencies versions you're developing with will be the same in prod.

I couldn't find the answer in the article: will it warn right away when they detect you left your keys or backpack behind with a tag in it? Tile has this and it's great, but you need to pay the subscription for it

The one compelling thing to me is the smart battery management in Big Sur: it won't charge your battery past 80% if you don't need it (based on usage patterns) to protect the battery life. I'm also excited about the seamless switch between all Apple devices for the Airpods Pro, but not everyone owns those

And more expensive

Because then no small company can compete with the big ones in the auction...
