Small correction Ford sold 4.4M vehicles worldwide in 2023. The 2M number is just for the United States. But Toyota absolutely crushes the competition with 11.2M sold last year.

I was going to say it looks like a ‘91 VW Golf Country.

They’re such a unique company, but they’ve always fail to recognize just how unique their situation is and how most people can only dream of being so lucky.

- First you have DHH who is one of the creators of Ruby on Rails. He has a large cult-like following

- You have relatively simple projects that are profitable from day 1

- They have a series of “self-help” style books for running a business that are popular. Rework was their most popular by far.

- And when you do take on money you get an extremely unique business arrangement. Bezos invested in them early on and only became a member in a LLC. All the VCs I know make you reform as a Corp.

The only other places even remotely close to that might be Vercel and Netlify. And I only say that because of their widely popular open source projects.

You forgot Android.

Newer Brothers printers are starting to do the same tricks.

This was reported on a few months ago.

This was a quote from an unnamed employee in the article “...when the battery fell below 50% of its maximum charge, the algorithm would show drivers more realistic projections for their remaining driving range...”

15 of the 17 patents that they claim Apple violated have been invalidated. Apple is still appealing the other 2 so they could be legit or go away as well. If those remaining 2 hold up then Apple should pay, if not then Masimo is abusing the patent system.

Nope. You’re thinking of Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount.

The giant blue LED on the LaCie Little Big Disk is the most annoying thing ever. It flickers on hard drive activity.

Nowhere near the scale of Patagonia, but ZenBusiness operates as a PBC.

FYI Apple bought the company that made the kinect sensors. The Face ID module on iPhones is a mini kinect.

I went from a XS with a case to a 15 Pro. It’s like no one at Apple has ever played a game in landscape mode. The camera bump is awful and uncomfortable. I haven’t found a case that makes it usable.

I agree in principle, but you also need the same machine too otherwise new OS and hardware might introduce issues too. I resurrected an old project that needed to convert LESS to CSS and the node version required couldn’t run on my machine. Upgrading it to a version that could introduced filesystem changes that broke the packages that it was looking for.

Now just imagine businesses in the middle of a platform shift like Macs going from Intel to Apple’s own ARM chips. Eventually you’ll going to be missing something and all this work of bundling everything will end up being busy work.

They have the Azure Maia 100 (AI accelerator) and Azure Cobalt 100 (128 core ARM Neoverse derived cpu).

Yeah Microsoft didn’t want AtScript to steal the little thunder TypeScript had at the time, but we’re still left with that one experimental feature all over Angular codebases.

The only problem is you run the risk of implementing a still developing standard that might be vastly different than the finalize version. You then have code and programmers trained in doing something the old "wrong" way.

This happened in TypeScript when they added support for an early version of decorators and now the TC39 version (which is still only Stage 3) is just different enough to cause issues.

I'm confused doesn't C# fill this role?

I still have a copy that I run in a VM. Doesn’t do as much as before, but I’m surprised how bad most of its replacements are at the basic feature level.

You can install Asahi Linux on any of the M1/2 Macs. And even if Microsoft and Apple stop giving updates you can still run the machine with the last OS. I’ve been running a 2012 Mac mini just fine and it hasn’t seen updates in a while.

The URL is still accounts.firefox.com and email still comes from account@firefox.com. It looks like a really half done rebranding exercise.

Even doing everything right doesn’t mean you won’t have this happen to you.

I’m an avid cyclist that does hundreds of miles per week, I have type 2 diabetes with an A1c score better than most normal adults, I’m not overweight, have normal blood pressure and with all of that I’m still in stage 3 renal failure.

There is a proposal to add the pipeline operator |> to the standard that works similar to what you have here.

Next.js 13 is using them.

Interesting project. Mermaid has an experimental syntax for timelines too. You might want to look at it for ideas.

Backside power delivery should help portables and maybe get some of these crazy desktop numbers down. If all goes as planned Intel looks to have a 2 year jump on TSMC based on current timetables. But I'm worried about them adding nanosheet transistors around the same time. They got into problems before being too ambitious and having a stalled roadmap for a very long time.

Any language where you don’t know the syntax looks weird at first. There are 6 types of commands with 20 commands in total. Half of those use document based coordinate system and the other half are relative to the previous command.

Interest payments accounted for 8% of the budget last year. We haven’t had a positive cash flow to paid down the debt since Clinton.

Material components are a separate repo. They are not built-in.

Oh that actually seems fast and doesn’t crash my browser

I’m surprised nobody here has mention the end of year discounts they just started offering in various countries. Discounts like this are used to increase demand something Tesla hasn’t had to do in a long while. To the market that signals weakness. If it was localized to the US you could rationalize it that too many people are waiting until the new year when the new EV rebate kicks in, but they’re also doing the same thing in China, Mexico, and Canada.
