I have a Hisense HiReader Pro and it's awesome + super usable for actual day to day phone things on wifi, but the cell reception overlaps with a single LTE band in the US that's not really usable around where I live.

I have a HiSense HiReader Pro that I picked up right when it came out. It's absolutely loaded with nonsense + makes zillions of requests to Chinese IPs and it takes ages to figure out how to disable / block it all.

It also only works on a single GSM band in the US (which to be fair, I knew before I bought it), but I was hoping that single band would be usable.

I went back to using a Kindle because the experience is so much better all around. Vaguely intrigued by the new Boox Palma though.

Seems like this is more of a "PostgreSQL distribution with search extensions" than "ParadeDB is an open source ElasticSearch alternative built on Postgres..."

Interesting, sure, but confusing marketing/positioning at a glance

fwiw that's a vehicle with a modified exhaust (and not a particularly fast one to begin with)

Also anecdotally in this group - switched from AT&T yearly prepaid (25$/m or so) to post-paid Verizon because it got worse and worse over the three years I had it. Throttling got significantly worse over time and had a number of support issues with the yearly setup.

I'd love to know how a gasoline powered F-150 can roll coal.

Fastmail!

It'd be an excellent joke to not fix it

I can’t wait for the day the EU actually tries to enforce their laws on individuals and companies with no presence there. Will be a fun extradition battle to watch

Many of the points in this article are entirely a matter of implementation, not inherent to or ingrained in any particular architectural choice.

You can just as easily build a highly modular and decoupled monolith as you can a tightly coupled and fragile microservice. The same point holds true for many of the other pro/cons the author brought up.

I used to use mithril for almost every new project I'd start, but I've switched over to using React w/ Hooks for just about everything for two main reasons:

- toolchain support is a lot less finicky and better supported (you can use parcel and it "just works") - should I need to bring in a obnoxious third party library, it's far more likely to exist in a react world than mithril

If you're just building something small / on your own, mithril is definitely worth a shot though, it's relatively pleasant to use and packs in some very handy XHR related helpers

Has Valve ever made a statement on this? Sounds like a terrible idea to me / this could be taken down on a whim by Valve.

The third point is extremely close to how trucks have always been built. Body-on-frame construction has been prevalent in the automotive industry for a very long time.

Ever see a crazy classic car body dropped on top of a truck frame, i.e. a 4x4 60s mustang on a bronco frame?

Is it just me or did apple just bungle this entire announcement by not announcing a consumer facing ARM MacOS device, only a hot-rodded Mac Mini with an iPad Pro chip inside.

How many devs actually have the setup in place to use a non mobile device?

I also wonder if the current+last gen iPad Pro that has the new keyboard + trackpad case will gain the ability to run Xcode and native macOS apps in the near future.

I'm pretty sure google allows you to do this though, so Apple isn't bypassing any "rules" on android.
