erratic_chargion Amazon closing its Fresh and Go stores

Of course it failed, nobody want to shop at a limited selection with mandatory signing up amazon store that closes at like 8.

But a 24/7 data driven store that is a last resort would have succeeded.

Put slop bowls at business areas, Junk food where there are clubs for drunk people.

Moving season in college town, put some stationary and some tools for DIY stuff.

In valentines cheap wine and chocolate for the singles, and flowers with top rated gifts for couples.

erratic_chargion Coventry Very Light Rail

It does make the name kinda ironic, since the batteries will make the tram heavier then a normal one that's powered by overhead wires, so its not 'very light'

erratic_chargion AMD promises its new laptop chips will crush the Apple M2 and it’s got receipts

Well from the perspective of an engineer: I get and respect all the hard work that went to making the the M2 and generally ARM revolution that Apple had unleashed.

From the perspective of average joe: yeah I hear about performance every new device announcement can we do something about the shitty battery life and loud fans on non apple Machine my phone can do more with less power and noise. (For real though, I just want an M1 iPad Pro like device that runs Windows)

So yeah I guess yeah excluding battery life and cooling ,I don't really give a shit about Apple silicon TBH, and I think I'm not the only one.

So does it mean a passively cooled laptop like MacBook Air?, I mean the M2 performance are good but what makes it attractive are battery life and fanless yet capable laptop.

erratic_chargion Ask HN: Is there a site popular with Gen Z where users can write HTML and CSS?

Older Gen Z and developer here, I don't think there was something to GeoCities or MySpace growing up, but I came up with other things that personally got me and my friends a bit into development:

Maybe the most popular was developing our own Discord bots, that got me first to backend with Python and JS (I think I even learned JS before HTML and CSS...).

Growing up we mostly learned programming in school (mostly C#, yet some friends of mine learned Mobile development in Java with Firebase in high school) it was homework mostly, nothing really came out of it.

I can say that gaming got us to learn a bit of networking, trying to host our own Minecraft and Maple Story servers cause we didn't have money to rent them.
