In the OLED regard. Other laptops had this for a decade now.

Not portable in what way?

There's definitely a difference there, though we will have to wait and see if the American AI industry didn't make those losing pockets too deep.

Oh, I must have read the comment too early in the morning and I cannot edit it anymore, apologizes. I completely agree about the PDF developer experience.

I disagree. PHP had a wonderful DX. Deploying a website literally meant connecting to the server over FTP, and drag-n-dropping your PHP files. Same for updates. Oh, and back then, IIRC even Windows Explorer supported FTP. It was literally just "write the URL, drop the files". How do you deploy a Node webapp? A python webapp? How do you make sure it stays up? Do you expose is directly or behind a nginx?

PHP won exactly because it had a wonderful DX.

What do you mean by "how"? The code is freely available, you can spin it up at will too in just a few minutes. When they disappear, sometimes it's because the maintainer doesn't want the headache, and sometimes it's because a they're threatened to remove it.

Or don't give it root access and in the morning you'll have both this and a ready-to-use root exploit!

But it doesn't make sense. Sure they'd find it extremely useful to have the key, but it doesn't need to be a weak key for it to be useful. If anything, it makes it less useful to them.

If I'm going to ask you or force you to share your password with me, there's no reason I'd ask you to set the password to 4. We might as well agree that the password would be D#!(s9fj0jalk!4af095SF42 , and it's much more likely our collaboration will continue working for years.

Why would it be?

I'm on Arch too, but after installing NixOS on two side laptops I have, I kinda fell in love. I don't want to go through reconfiguring everything, but once this laptop dies, I'm going to switch.

Arch is really great, but using the system now for ~5 years I cannot remember where every configuration is, which packages are installed and why, and things just get messy. I'm sure that some issues the system has are do to things I screwed up along the way, and these will be solved if I just reinstall. But with NixOS it feels so easy to find what changes you've done to the system, to leave a comment saying why etc. It feels to me much more maintainable.

It's a 25% cut on the cost of RAM!

Cashless society in Sweden is very much built around a Swish, a local service that I don't think has much to do with Visa/Mastercard as it communicates directly with your bank.

With how easy it becomes to write software, I'd say that both the model and the harness are already being commoditized. I don't see a reason to believe there would be moat in any of them.

This looks really great, thank you for your work! However, "Entry into force" really is expected only around 2030? I'm not even sure most people will be consuming the internet using a browser then. It's sad to see that a process like this, which is very much needed, starts at 2020 and ends 10 years later. Clearly not your fault, but I'm just a little shocked.

We all wanted that! But than we feared that the USA will just cut our payment systems, government emails and basically every online service we have as it tries to take over Greenland.
