Sell! Sell! Get back in there and sell!

I think that’s off by a factor of 10.

What direction

Depends if they are the right resources.

Depends if it’s possible.

Python is slow due to design decisions in the language. For example operator dispatch is slow without some kind of static analysis. But this is hindered by how dynamic the language is.

It's hard to make Python run fast when it pervasively uses duck typing. It makes types only resolvable at runtime. JIT is the only thing that can work here at the moment, but I think that needs to make very similar assumptions to a branch predictor, plus it needs to identify lexical regions (is that what they're called?). People here have criticised PyPy, but I've forgotten why.

That top bezel is twice the size of my m4 mbp.

You're looking at the wrong laptop, the Dell XPS 13 9345 has a ~88.6% screen to body ratio, the Macbook Pro 14 M4 2024 has a ~84.6% screen to body ratio.

The weight is the big one for me - only 2.5 lbs vs 3.4 lbs

Remember the Dell has an 18 month old processor, X Elite 2 coming out next year.

I use tcl at work. It’s fine, but it’s one of those languages that’s heavily tilted toward “easy to write but hard to read.”

TCL can be so customized that it’s unrecognizable, breaking all compatibility between hosts.

You should qualify that with “in your chosen location.” And there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to live where housing happens to be expensive.

In the context of the article, it's inflammation rupturing the 'fibrous cap' on plaque deposits leading to a heart attack, so I presume OP is talking about the inflammatory response to having the flu.

I don’t know. He covers this pretty early in the post.

> The only reason it works for many common programming workflows is because they are common. The minute you try to do new things, you need to be as verbose as the underlying language.

For me, i use a case because the damn phones are slippery as hell.

Yeah I'll never understand how anyone can use an iPhone without it being in a case, it's just not practical or comfortable to hold without a case adding grip.

Well, I'm in the exact opposite category - I don't get why people use cases.

Surely its obvious - grip and protection. Fairly well established that they're slippy, and dropping them means gouges being taken out of the frame, or if you're really unlucky, cracked glass.

Pixel 9 is so extremely slippery that one can't help but think they designed it to need a case. I never bought a case prior to Pixel 9 but the thing is like a wet bar of soap.

Yeah when my last phone case broke I tried carrying it nude and that was what immediately struck me. So I bought some adhesive rubber knurl stickers for the edges but they wouldn't stay on because my Pixel 7 has a curved edge - would probably work well on a phone with a flat edge.

I stuck on a MagSafe metal sticker thing on the back and that little bit of greebling makes me feel a bit better holding it.

My nexus 4 had rubberized sides and it felt so nice in the hand. Been downhill ever since.

Same here. Silicon cases or those made from the material that looks like pressed leather dust were always a life saver for me

Nothing in that documentation says anything about the Apple Neural Engine. MLX runs on the GPU.
