I don't think that's likely to explain jankiness. I do know my way around terminal screens and escape codes, and doing flicker-free, curses-like screen updates works equally well on the regular screen as on the alternate screen, on every terminal I've used.
It's also not a hard problem, and updates are not slow to compute. Text editors have been calculating efficient, incremental terminal updates since 1981 (Gosling Emacs), and they had to optimise better for much slower-drawing terminals, with vastly slower computers for the calculation.
I have that problem too, and it's a banking app I use nearly every day.
Needing to turn Developer mode off and on every time I open the app is really annoying.
It was extra annoying when I needed to log all my phone's Bluetooth HCI protocol activity for a day for product development. I wouldn't be able to take that measurement using a separate dev-specific phone, because it wouldn't contain realistic usage.
*> the clipboard manager [...] If anyone has a recommendation that feels native
I use Maccy (https://maccy.app/). I've been very happy with it, and wish I'd installed it years earlier than I did. It's open source, and does its one job well.
I haven't used the Windows clipboard manager so I don't know how they compare on features.
An extractor fan is the kind of consistent noise that good signal processing and voice recognition ought to be able to strip out, especially if using a dispersed mic array. Even if your voice is much quieter (to your human ears) than the fan. It's a channel separation problem.
Indeed, and this change of philosophy shows up in the pthread (POSIX threads) API, which returns error values directly (as a negative integer) instead of setting the errno variable.
> in fact Apple does bundle a power adapter with their laptops, just not on the cheapest models.
Here in the UK, they no longer include the power adapter even with the top models. I just specced out a fully-loaded M5 Max Macbook Pro, 128GB RAM, 8TB storage on the Apple Store, and it doesn't include a power adapter by default.
The 140W power adapter can be added as an option to the MacBook Pro for an additional £99 + VAT, or purchased separately. If you purchase separately you can of course choose a lower-power adapter for a lower price.
Now that a power adapter isn't included and you have to pay for it separately, it might make more sense to get one of the good brands of GaN power adapters instead, because they are smaller than the Apple ones for the same power, and have more ports.
No, it's provided by my employer so I don't really have that choice. And it's a the 16 core M4 Max, 64GB ram and 4TB storage, it's not really lacking in any way, it's a beast of a machine.
(But yes if I bought this with my own money I would have swapped lol)
I'm on 5G right now and it just struggled to load the HN front page due to local network congestion. At times of day when it's not congested it reaches 60-90Mbyte/s in the same physical location
Spotify just gave up while trying to show me my podcasts. I can't listen to anything not already downloaded right now.
Yet at 3am I'll be able to download a 100GB LLM without difficulty onto the same device that can't stream a podcast right now.
Unfortunately I don't think 5G is the streaming panacea you have in mind. Maybe one day...
When I was growing up, we loved to lend the sheltered kids from the more conservative families media they weren’t supposed to have, like the Harry Potter books.
Something I didn't see in the other comments is users who are using the startup's service for work, as an employee.
Why wouldn't you choose the simplicity of "sign in with Google" if your work email is on Google Workspace, using the entire Google suite of business tools for everything (gmail, chat, meet, docs, drive, auth, etc) any everything you do at work is known to Google anyway?
Making an email/password account with your work Gmail is just extra steps, one more password to store, and perhaps the inconvenience of one more 2FA thing. Google gets the same information either way.
Similarly why wouldn't you choose the "sign in Microsoft" if your work is all in on the Microsoft suite of business tools (teams, office, onedrive, auth, etc.) and everything you do at work is known to Microsoft anyway?
Both available choices "share the information with Google" for most people. The majority of email account creations use a Gmail or Google Workspace address, so Google gets the information either way, and in Europe most use Android so can't sign in with Apple.
Because they don't want to have those experiences where they sigh, roll their eyes, then try and remember a password they made months ago just so they can continue using this thing they signed up for. So they just skip the service altogether.
It's also not a hard problem, and updates are not slow to compute. Text editors have been calculating efficient, incremental terminal updates since 1981 (Gosling Emacs), and they had to optimise better for much slower-drawing terminals, with vastly slower computers for the calculation.
