most annoying post I've read

cause you might go to the eternal flames if you say a no-no word online

will always upvote this post when I see it

virtual threads (stackful coroutines) in Java is most of the reason why I’m defaulting to it nowadays instead of C#, Rust, etc

Binary Ninja seems way ahead in terms of UX, as a hobby reverser. It's my default as well.

That’s funny cause I feel the opposite: LLMs can automate, in a sloppy fashion, building the first trivial draft. But what remains is still thinking hard about the non trivial parts.

LLMs are trained on web slop, not engineering

Nothing wrong with the "creating products that prioritize user experience over features" - or more accurately what Jobs said: create products that start with the user experience and the user’s needs first and then work your way to the tech (as far as I remember)

The opposite approach is starting with some tech and then trying to find a use for it, e.g. folding phones, second 1/2 screen on laptop, etc, instead of trying to actually create a usable, quality trackpad for instance.

The critique is still valid: Apple, for their software, seem to not have the same focus on quality as Jobs once insisted on. Their physical products are very much still top notch, and the products on the whole are still developed with this mindset as far as I’m concerned. It’s just the software quality that has taken a hit for some reason.

Biggest issue is the lack of free speech. It’s a platform with an agenda, which is a huge red flag.

Please delay it indefinitely. The OS with the worst security combined with a queryable LLM recording everything you do?

Yeah, no.

Hehe yeah, same when I think about it… I guess best thing to do is buy on launch and update every 2-5 years.

Hmm, I was thinking of buying an M3 Pro 16” this summer, but maybe I should wait then

Same here. Once worked with a guy who was a huge Microsoft fan, calling Macs and Linux-based workstations “nothing but toys”. Naturally I couldn’t help but laugh when he couldn’t work for 20 minutes due to a forced windows update and then a blue screen after booting up again.

The Candy crush and other crappy apps/games in combination to being a full fledged spyware OS with adware on top is already enough to make me run away screaming.

It has a 90's Pixar look to it, which is cool

> The battery life on my own X220 is fantastic. I have a brand-new 9-cell that lasts for roughly 5-6 hours of daily work. Obviously these numbers don't come close to the incredible battery life of Apple's M1/M2 chip devices, but it's still quite competitive against other "newer" laptops on the market.

Oh okay, so it’s the best sub-tier laptop on the market. MacBooks still on top, got it.
