I thought the rumours were skipping M6 for the Mac Studio. Not for Macbook Pros and Mac Minis.

Those saying it's fine come from a good place. I come from a world where we see young people groomed, pursued and manipulated. There is no serious reason to posting your age as a minor on an adult forum.

Don't post your age on the internet :)

Project looks cool

He is quite the character on that. Great episode!

What if Google can't compete? They don't want to be left behind and all this money being throw around is just nonsense anyway.

I really like Zettlr, but I find it is always crashing when markdown changes behind the scenes and it has the document open.

It's so good for viewing all markdown in a repo, but dies all too often.

This is the reply that was posted when Dropbox was first shown off on HN. It's a joke :)

I used to partake in all RAM discussions online. Here, reddit, every technical hardware forum and anywhere workstations were being talked about.

The sentiment was always ECC is a waste and a scam. My goodness the unhinged posts from people who thought it was a trick and couldn't fathom you don't know you're having bits flipped without it. "it's a rip off" without even looking and seeinf often the price was just that of the extra chip.

I've discussed it for 20 years since the first Mac Pro and people just did not want to hear that it had any use. Even after the Google study.

Consumers giving professionals advice. Was same with workstation graphics cards.

Very bizarre, as I also found it helped with this! I was only a First Officer at the time, but even as a Captain today I find playing 2048 during take off and landing really helps.

Too much control and influence for an American company I expect.

Japanese companies have some behaviour that may seem odd, naive or lacking the best of capitalism, but they are what they are.

Nintendo regularly get this sort of criticism.

The game is also a data collection tool for Niantic, rather that to be a great game. Someone would have to give up control to change it all.

You forgot brain surgeon. Of course it's not rocket science is it.

> " I guess you don't really know that you needed ECC until it's too late."

I spent many years on hardware consultation and was amazed at the all the times I had to explain it was just a what if insurance like any other things their business was mitigating against. Sometimes they'd even decided they needed to save costs in non-ecc ram when it was $4 a gb in difference, or (during the FB-DIMM era) there wasn't even an option to avoid it.

Never really understood the resistance towards it.

Maybe the lack of evidence before the Google study and people thinking RAM manufacturers were trying to rip them off or something.

The "never had a problem so why would I need" it attitude with no way to know if an issue was caused by a bit flip was most baffling.

Automattic purchased them for $3m 3 years ago. Matt Mullenweg has a vision for it, but obviously we've not seen a huge resurgence in it yet.

They did announce the are allowing non-pornographic nude images back last week.

Because they are a public company and institutional shareholders wouldn't let them.

Before going public they wouldn't have been able to pass it by VCs already invested or raise any more capital. OnlyFans has this problem.

Even if they had offered it early they would have struggled the same way OnlyFans did recently over payments, and with no way to police it on their technology probably would have been embattled with media and public perception way worse.

Banks, investors and other companies don't want to deal with Pornography and sex workers despite the massive proliferation online.

They wouldn't have been able to have all their partnerships, generate revenue from other sources or have apps either.
