I run a Linux phone :D. But yeah, that is also soldered on.
I'm disappointed a mainstream laptop is soldered, though. Why would anyone buy it?
Genuine question from someone who knows nothing about Apple products... can't you replace/upgrade the drive?
Deus Ex or Half-Life, probably. The first Halo, too.
Why does the world need this?
I agree with you, and I don't want anything related to the current AI craze in my life, at all.
But when I come on HN and see people posting about AI IDEs and vibe coding and everything, I'm led to believe that there are developers that like this sort of thing.
I cannot explain this.
This might be a less popular opinion on a site like HN, but I'm of the opinion that CEO's don't do a whole lot.
Maybe at small startups they are more involved, but the larger the company, the less I think that CEOs or other C-Suite types actually do.
While I also think ChatGPT is over-hyped and largeley incorrect in what it says, I would answer your question with a "yes". ChatGPT is perfectly capable of writing/delivering speeches at MS Build or whatever.
I can't answer OP as I only write Python for personal use, not for a "big company".
That said, Neovim + basedpyright + pipenv works well for me.
A lot of people here are using uv and pyenv.
Can anyone hint at why I might want to switch?
While I somewhat agree, I can't help but read the replies here as accounts created by OP to respond to themselves.
Thank you, I did miss this.
This is better than most phones on the market, but I can't help but be turned off when I scroll down and start seeing the Google Play logo and mentions about AI and Google Gemini.
Kind of defeats the purpose, no?
I've never worked in a place where this sort of thing would have been tolerated.
In high school, sure. But not the workplace.
Sorry past me - I'm boring now.
Where is your source for 80-90% using X11?
My assumption would be that by now, it would be 80+% on Wayland.
Still using my Librem 5 (2 years in).
Still works.
Still like it.
Yes, DDG for 95% of issues. Using an AI to search seems really, really, really dumb to me.
Absolutely not. I enjoy my craft, why let something do it for me, and do it worse?
If I get a car with an advanced computer, I expect to be able to install and run whatever software I want on it. Just like any other computer.
If I can't, then I don't own the device.
You could maybe argue that it's a spiritual successor, but tech-stack wise, Firefox and Netscape are in their own family, and Brave is in the Chromium-based browser family.
> because everybody is using VSCode now
Are they though?
I don't have numbers right now to back this up but last I remember, people were leaving VS Code, not moving to it.
If I spend a couple hours or more doing "deep work" writing code, I often find I need an hour or two of cool-down time before I can really have much in the way of emotions again.
These are truly sad days.
For work? Maybe 1 hour, maybe 2, if I am really lucky.
For pleasure? If I can do it, 2-3 hours in the evening. This is semi-rare too though.
Odd, the fact that I couldn't have separate "panels" in Windows seemed like the bug/missing feature to me :).
Google Chrome is malware.
Can I ask why developers would prefer a laptop over a desktop? I know it's off topic, but I see this question on HN an awful lot and I scratch my head each time.
Desktop PCs are:
- Cheaper
- More repairable and upgradable
- More options for hardware
- Better thermals
- A full monitor(s), keyboard, and mouse, instead of a rinky-dink keyboard and trackpad
Seriously, why do people stream music?
Just put mp3's on a hard drive somewhere and you're done.
