In my company the greatest benefit is that: it is not mandatory. So I'm never on-call. My free time is too valuable for just a bit more of money.


I just bought a mbp M1. Would the M1 ultra be available on mbps in the (near) future?


Apple has a terrible history when it comes to cooling down their laptops. I don't think they'll be able to cool this chip without a massive design overhaul. They'd have to make something the size of those "gaming" laptops to get it cool enough and even then it would probably exceed the noise and thermal limit they've set for their brand.


The thermals suggest no. Twice the CPU heat is probably not in the current MacBook Pro design.


Besides the thermals of the mbp probably not being suited and the form factor of the chip itself, the Mac Studio has a 370W power supply, which as well is way too much for a laptop to even legally have.


Even if they wanted to work around the thermals, they’d just be inviting the same criticism they’ve gotten of laptops running hot and throttling


No.


Don't think it's plausible, otherwise it would already have happened. I mean, if country X really wants to pull that card they could have already done so without having to tell the entire world of their invasion intentions.


We've had nuclear weapons for less than 100 years which is nothing in history. Based on that the Roman Empire never should have fallen. If it made it 100 years, why not 150000 instead of 400ish?


I think you are making a mistake trying to assess what "country X 'wants'".

It only takes one person to decide to launch a missile. And very few to execute on that decision.

And what an individual, or a country, wants can change.

Just because nobody had any desire to attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons at the outset, it does not mean that they will not decide to later.

Consider the fact that Putin likely thought he could get away with annexing Ukraine with little international backlash, just like the last half-dozen times he's invaded and annexed parts of other countries.

Now he is the sole leader of a country that is being completely cut off from the global economy, and made a pariah in the entire western world. The national currency, and nearly all international relations are nearly shattered.

The situation is very different than it was, and things are likely starting to look desperate.

I don't expect a large-scale use of nuclear weapons, but I would absolutely not write off the possibility of their use altogether.


It's easier (and usually more rewarding) to start something from scratch than to fork.


I think you just described the origin of all new software :)


And this is why the tech interview process is (still) broken.


You can as well build the site locally (e.g., on your computer) first and commit the .html files in your page repo. GitHub pages will then serve your .html files directly without having to build your site using Jekyll. This is what I used to do when hosting my site on github pages:

- locally install jekyll

- write my .md files

- run jekyll locally to see how my site looks like

- commit .md and .html files

- let github pages know what you are pushing the static files yourself


In such a case it is a good idea to add a .nojekyll file to keep Jekyll from still trying to build your site when you prebuild it.

Also, if you are locally generating the HTML files, you can use other SSG tools beyond Jekyll (if for instance you want to avoid Ruby on Windows).


Doing sports and running with a 6 inch smartphone attached to your arm or in your pocket is just uncomfortable.


Can you upload your own mp3s to the Apple Watch? Do I need special software for that?


Apple Music has a cloud locker feature, which is the main reason I use it over Spotify. The process isn't as nice as the drag-and-drop into your browser like how Google Play Music did it (RIP), but you can add songs through the Music App on Mac (I assume you can also do it through iTunes on Windows?), set all your metadata, etc. and then you can stream it from any device (except the web player, which is among many other problems with the web player. I wouldn't recommend it)


Sure you can. Add those mp3s to the iPhone paired with the Apple Watch. Go to the Watch app and tap on Music. You can choose music to be transferred to the Watch.


It's a shame you cannot put your own mp3s on the Mighty Vibe.


DevOps usually need to be on-call (paid) rotations. That sucks.
