June 2026 Steam Survey says 23% Intel
Homebrew 30d says 27% Intel
My gut says 20-25% is a reasonable ballpark.
Apple generally provides 6-8 years of OS support for hardware. My 6.5 year old 2019 Macbook Pro works fine with macOS 26; macOS 27 will drop support in September 2026; macOS 28 will drop Rosetta Intel support. macOS 26 get updates thru September 2028 at which point all Intel mac hardware will be >8 years old.

It does this, but only for a couple dozen file extensions -- .svelte is one of them.

There's actually two Engineering Emmy Awards. There's also the 'Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards' given by the ATAS (Academy of Television Arts and Sciences) while 'Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards' are given by NATAS (National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences), not confusing at all.

This is what MacStadium does. Here's a drawer design for the previous gen intel macs:

Very few units sold. Distribution was poor, most were GSM only and only a couple supported 850mhz. I had the E70-2 and later E61i but I never meant anyone else with one.

1. You can specify your terminal font via terminal.font_family in zed settings.json
2. Not sure.
3. For most languages, the default is to use prettier for formatting. You can disable `format_on_save` globally, per-language and per project depending on your needs. If you ever need to save without triggering format ("workspace: save without formatting").
Prettier is /opinionated/ -- and its default is `singleQuote` = false which can be quite jarring if unexpected. Prettier will look for and respect various configuration files (.prettierrc, .editorconfig, via package.json, etc) so projects can set their own defaults (e.g. `singleQuote = true`). Zed can also be configured to further override prettier config zed settings, but I usually find that's more trouble than it's worth.
If you have another formatter you prefer (a language server or an external cli that will format files piped to stdin) you can easily have zed use those instead. Note, you can always manually reformat with `editor: format` and leave `format_on_save` off by default if that's more your code style.

Very similar to the Beepberry. Exciting to see someone else building into that form factor. Also love to fun to see the Nokia BL-5C battery (originally introduced in the Nokia 3650 in 2003) still alive and kicking 20years later.

This was the question I was going to ask! I've recently been diving into Lua 5.x internals and have been extremely impressed with Lua's register-based bytecode implementation. Lua has a stable byte code interface between patch releases (5.4.0 -> 5.4.1, etc) but not between major/minor revisions (5.3 -> 5.4). SQLite on the other hand does not consider this a public interface at all!
> "Remember: The VDBE opcodes are not part of the interface definition for SQLite. The number of opcodes and their names and meanings change from one release of SQLite to the next." https://www.sqlite.org/opcode.html#the_opcodes
For anyone interested in understanding how a register-based VM operates I highly recommend:

I also like their Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) record retention period (3 minutes):
> Records of number plates read by each LPR shall not be recorded or transmitted anywhere and shall be purged from the system within 3 minutes of their capture in such a manner that they are destroyed and are not recoverable, unless an alarm resulted in an arrest, a citation, or protective custody, or identified a vehicle that was the subject of a missing person or wanted broadcast [...]

> to see how far it gets before killing itself (on a VM or easily re-flashed machine of course).
I did this, but with dd -- it completed. Was very anti-climatic. I was hoping it would crash or at least disconnect me, but the kernel, sshd and bash were still in memory and happily returned me to a prompt where I couldn't really do anything.

Sadly their Heroku dyno has fallen over. It's open source and works locally though.

Yeah "stone" 100GB M-DISC bluray discs are ~$10/ea. 100GB for 100yrs* ($0.10/GB).

My assumption is that they are not handling mail pieces and just outsourcing everything via the PostGrid API. Public pricing for a domestic 4x6 full color postcard $0.74. [1] There's no international pricing listed, but given that a domestic postcard stamp is $0.48, printing is ~$0.26 so add international forever stamp ($1.45) so $1.71/card. Stripe is 2.9% + $0.30 ($0.39 on $2.99). They are using Twilio so that's $0.01 for an inbound/MMS and just under $0.01 for the outbound SMS with a stripe link.
Profit per card would be $1.84/card domestic and $0.98/card international. Excellent margins for a $2.99 product with no need to handle inventory.
Seems like a great side project creating glue between three REST APIs (PostGrid, Stripe, Twilio) and I'd expect it'd generate sufficient free cash flow to cover its server costs and buy a few beers.
