there is another differences between Apple monitors vs the rest. - standard and peak brightness[1]. All of them are less bright, than Apple's monitors. I'd really wanna know why.

MSI - 1400 nits, LG - 1250 nits, Apple - 2000 nits. That's peak brightness, standard brightness isn't even mentioned, except for Apple one. Is it just cooling or something more?

Those are down to backlight technology, which (usually) is independent of the LCD panel itself. With LCDs, though, it's a fine line as extremely bright backlights can lead to bad bloom.


would you mind sharing your library of HIGs?


I can give a list of ones I'm studying CUA (87 and 91 versions) Awaita Breeze Material (primarily 3, but also 2 and 1) Apples HIG Microsofts HIG and Motifs HIG Some of these aren't technically HIGs and are rather "design-systems" but they all contain the commonality of trying to set up a consistent model for user-interaction in their environment


my exact experience, and AI is especially fragile when you are starting new project from scratch.

Right know I'm building NNTP client for macOS (with AppKit), because why not, and initially I had to very carefully plan and prompt what AI has to do, otherwise it would go insane (integration tests are must).

Right know I have read-only mode ready and its very easy to build stuff on top of it.

Also, I had to provide a lot of SKILLS to GPT5.3


Also I'd add this question, why do so many developers and sysadmins think, that cloud companies always hire competent/non-lazy/non-pissed employees?


After every time I read "save effort with Electron", I go back to Win2K VM and poke around things and realize how faster everything is than M4 Max, just because value is value, and Electron saves some effort.


I do have an Apple ID, which was banned due to fraud and customer support couldn’t do anything about.

The thing is, that account was just used for dev. things for the US company, which builds/sells software for the US federal government (among the other US entities).

It would not be very wise to do fraud.


wouldn't it be faster/safer to upgrade to latest django/python rather than rewrite it in React/Go?


Python 2 to Python 3 in a Django codebase ... may be a full rewrite anyway.


Many people migrated Django projects from 2 -> 3. Certainly something that takes effort, but hardly a rewrite.


Nothing like a full rewrite. I migrated multiple projects, but while there is a significant amount of work involved its a tiny fraction of what a full rewrite would require.


Its fine, I ported quite a few Django libraries to python 3 at the time just because I wanted to use them.

2to3 gets you pretty far and theres not much in the rest.


Did it a couple of times. Not something you can do with your eyes closed, but not even close to the nightmare of upgrading a JS application or upgrading a rails app.


just a couple of days ago, I've moved my self hosted stuff from Cloudflare :)


given the current state of things, I'd take that slow boot over anything else ;)


The CPM difference in US vs. rest of the world is huge. If Albania has cpm near zero, it's not worth to show ads there.
