> the coating on the existing MacBooks (but not the M1's) get damaged far too easily when in a bag

How so? I have an M2, carry it in a bag daily but my screen is still pristine

> In fact I try really hard not to touch it so that I don't get smudges on it.

Glad I'm not alone. Unfortunately every week I have to clean it from dust and also smudges that gets passed from the keyboard when you close the lid.

Am I the only one that has never ever felt the need to have a touch screen display on my Mac?

EDIT: I already can’t stand when people touch my display just to point at something, I definitely don’t want my own oily fingerprints smeared all over a screen I spend all day looking at.

Don’t forget the function name at the very beginning!

> The thing is I don’t see you asking that same question to the other Americans in the comment section here making stupid claims, with clearly zero clue on how the EU actually functions.

Well it’s just because I bumped into that comment first, really.

While I agree on the fact that sometimes comments aimed to the EU are overblown and inaccurate it’s also true that lazy answers like “people don’t know what they’re talking about” are not proving anything wrong

> While there are reasons not to join, most commenters against it have no clue what they are talking about.

Are we supposed to believe you know something about it? Would be helpful to have a different perspective from people who know better or claim to.

I like the fact that the first commits were about the logo, important things first :D

> Americans shouldn’t have to compete against the whole world to get a job in the USA

Milton Friedman would have a couple of things to say about that

> I can very easily build a highly functional, pleasant to use Apple platform app with 5 or fewer top level dependencies. In many cases, I reach for between 0-2 total.

Most of the things I wrote in Rust have less than 5 dependencies. Those 5 dependencies then depend on 20 other dependencies each. Those 20 dependencies have 2-3 other dependencies. And so on…

Probably boosted Mullvad’s ARR as well

> I don't hear enough people talk about the powerful addiction of "podcasts + headphones"

I have headphones on everywhere I go. If I’m outside I have them on, while I’m doing work in the office I have them on, when I’m doing sport I have them on. When I don’t have them on, I’m usually at home and I’m playing stuff via speakers.

I’m not playing stuff only when I’m out with friends, of course.

To be honest I think it’s one of the reasons why I feel very good and comfortable being on my own alone. But I definitely agree that there might be some kind of addiction in all of this.

> but when every moment alone is filled with someone else's words and thoughts, you stop having any of your own

I don’t necessarily agree with this, especially because I think about the thing that is being discussed and agree/disagree for different reasons. I might argue that podcast give you a reason to think about “unusual” things sometimes?

Anthropic seems to be on a mission to drive away as many users as possible from Claude

> Less traffic and less latency per action: a single persistent connection avoids repeating the TCP handshake and the HTTP headers on every interaction.

You don’t need a TCP connection for everything.

If you’re optimizing for that you can consider client-side caching which you can instruct using cache headers that every browser support. That usually reduces heavy hitters by a lot, even if you set the browser TTL to 1 minute which is fine for most of the scenarios.

Well, uBlock is entirely open source so...

I'm more surprised by the fact that people still use Facebook

I think Italy did something similar a couple of years ago.

You would need to put your number in a special register to opt-out of these calls.

I don't know if this ever worked or not, but giving your number to government feels odd to me so I never signed up. It's a lot more simple to just outright block unknown callers.

> Every time I leave the US, I’m always struck by how happy other people seem to be.

Every time I visit a place I get the impression that people are happier, but it's just an impression based on something you notice and experience for a very short amount of time. You'll see happy and desperate people anywhere, I don't think it has to do with the place.

> Actually, I think I say that about everywhere I travel.

That's it.

Yeah, 5 years ago I was drinking coffee at 10PM and I was sleeping without an issue. I’m pretty sure that would be a very big problem right now

Interesting coincidence - I’ve been drinking only one cup of coffee in the morning for the past month or so.

Used to drink one in the morning and one immediately after lunch. Couldn’t really tell the difference in sleep quality and to be fair I’m waking up more frequently in the past 2 weeks, but I guess that has to do more with heat than anything else.

Listened to many podcasts trying to learn more about this and they all seem to argue that it’s actually more important when you drink coffee. If you get your last coffee right after lunch your body will have almost no caffeine circulating in the system by the end of the day and that will make you sleep better.

Love these websites! Design is very cool as well

Is distillation something we have to live with or are there ways to prevent it?

Do pis have an official power supply?
