Forget the dimensions and size on paper. I tried the iPhone 17 for two weeks, came running back to the Mini. Later on, I upgraded to the Air and I'm very pleased. Yes, it's slightly larger in hand but it's still delightful to use like the Mini. Even though its 25g heavier than the Mini, it feels lighter because it's less dense.

I reluctantly upgraded to the Air from the 13 Mini after I accidentally dropped it in water. After 3 weeks of using it now, I completely agree.

Can clang tidy restrict RAII entirely? Or any other linter?

I'd rather not migrate my C codebase to C++ just to use an array container. Very hard to consistently limit the codebase to a strict subset of C++.

Not the OP but Tcl comes with batteries included and more "full fledged". Lua is just so much more lightweight and so easy to just drop it in any codebase.

The biggest reason to use Tcl even to this day is to write Tk GUI programs.

I'd love a city run around car inclusive of all taxes for $15k or less.

Apple always highlighted that engraved products cannot be returned during the purchase.

I thought about Fossil too, once I read the article. I don't even know what version I'm on and never even think about it.

> First, enforcing a youth social media ban raises major ethical concerns. Enforcement efforts invade people’s privacy and are likely to hurt marginalized people more. For example, the technology that determines age based on selfie uploads makes more mistakes with young faces and people of color. Banned youth may also miss out on important resources and communications provided via social media, as schools, clubs, and most other youth-serving organizations use social media as a main form of communication.

Really grasping the straws with this argument...

I use this framework to build prototype applications and it's always a delight. Something about Lua just feels right. Once I'm satisfied with a demo or prototype, I later on port it to native C/C++ implementation.

That's not really a bad thing, IMHO. Many people successfully make a living creating niche products.

They just offered free batteries.

Nope. I don't think they even recognized the defect till many years later (probably for legal reasons?).

For users, that were still under warranty - they offered free RTC batteries (which also stopped working later).

Either way, I won't buy anything from them going forward.

I appreciate the response, but my suggestion would be to offer a mail-in service program so that users don't have to fiddle with potentially dangerous soldering (ideally Framework bearing the shipping costs or atleast subsidizing it).
