I don't find framework appealing for upgradability, but I do think it's great for repairability. Being able to extend the life of a machine easily by replacing a cracked screen or degraded battery is so much better than going to the fruit store and being upsold a new machine and spending more. Obviously you pay extra in upfront costs and sacrifice build quality for a framework.

Also I think framework will excel in the SMB market where companies may have diverse requirements for different employees. Some just need a machine for email/browser and others for dev or video editing. But they can share parts, and upgrading a dev machine might have the benefit of upgrading other employees machines with the extra parts.


Just ask for the refund. If they lock your account you can always make a new one (gonna be a scary day when that isn't possibl cuz they use biometrics or something.....).

But if they just close your account in response to asking for a rightful refund.... Literal thievery


Remember seeing this idea 13 years ago [1]

Glad they're finally coming online, though I think these iron-air batteries[2] will take most of the market share (room for all though!).

>When you leave software developers alone for too long, they start developing software

I've gotten so bored at work lately I've been coding for fun again


What job do you have that you get paid to do nothing?


Sometimes it's not about doing nothing but only being allowed to do the same stuff over and over again to do because there is "no budget" to rewrite the codebase to automate the process.


I think the comments on the article are a fair critique. Notably that this single metric for educational outcome is not as important as the author is suggesting.

Also, Maine has a huge drop on that chart I'm assuming from COVID. I don't think this is southern states catching up. I think it was just them outperforming during COVID potentially. Whether or not that will last, we will see.


You mean "At the end of the day, it's cognitive ability, not instruction method, that wins the day in the long term."? Which in the context of the comment is just blatant racism wrapped in some kind of incoherent triple redundant wrapper.


There are reasons other than race for some children to do better in school than others.


As a tech employee who has worked on software privacy controls for consumer devices at amazon I have a couple thoughts. First, let me clarify that I am still highly skeptical about any tech companies privacy promises. That being said, the privacy control I worked on for one of Amazon's devices was a pita. It was a hardware switch which completely powered down all sensors, and modifying code related to it required extensive testing to preserve customer privacy. Amazon at least emphasizes to employees earning and retaining customer trust. The real reason I actually semi trust tech companies privacy policies is the ethics of individual employees. Maybe I'm projecting my disgust at privacy infringements onto my coworkers, but I generally believe these large corps can't hire sufficient teams of devs to build privacy compromising systems without at least one person whistleblowing.

My $.02


Sure they can. Just build something that allows for abuse, set up controls that prevent individual employees from abusing it, then have an exec secretly do whatever they want without your involvement.


The ethics of individual employees only lasts until the next firing, unfortunately.


Upvote. Employees are the actual enforcement of tech ethics. See Google project maven pushback


It's a moral race to the bottom when the salary's good and competition is fierce. It's great that Google pushed back against Project Maven, but nothing stopped the other 21+ companies from participating.


Oh wow. Do you really want to die on that hill? Big tech is responsible for a HUGE MOUNTAIN of absolutely hideous shit, destroyed lives and dead people—and you’re telling me that the engineers with a freely adjustable consciousness that built this machinery uphold some sort of ethics? The same guys that created algorithms optimised to glue children to screens for most of the day, driving young people into depression and suicide, and allowing the emergence of „alternative facts“?

And yes, Amazon employee #18447272. You are just as responsible for empowering Bezos to fuck over the WaPo as the rest of them. Employees of big tech corporations are the silent accomplices of the tech oligarchy we’re headed into.


Disclaimer: I generally prefer doing everything by keyboard and never touching a mouse

When you enter tmux scroll back buffer with "Ctrl-b [" you can reverse search the entire output and navigate within the buffer with standard shortcuts (same as man pages). I also added this yank plugin to copy any highlighted output to my system clipboard. Makes searching and copying output super fast

https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank


Tmux allows reverse search of the text on the screen and add the tmux-yank plugin to directly copy highlighted text onto your system clipboard

https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank


As far as I know tmux already copies things straight to X11 clipboard by default (at least in version 3.5a) and no configuration aside from enabling mouse is necessary.

For me, customized Vim search is just miles ahead of everything else so I prefer that (not just for the search, but also to open files with gF, etc.).

I also have a couple binds in Vim to deal with tmux:

    vnoremap <leader>ty "ty:call system('tmux loadb -', getreg("@t"))<cr>
    nnoremap <leader>ty "tyiw:call system('tmux loadb -', getreg("@t"))<cr>
    nnoremap <leader>tp :let @t=system('tmux showb')<cr>"tP
