This article doesn’t cover depreciation.

Much harder to model but I’d assume quite important to consider.

That's why the sensible buy their EV second hand. I got a 1 year old demonstrator with low miles (3500 on the clock) for 30% less than buying a brand new one.

With an OBD dongle to check the true state of the battery, it's not a risky proposition, and the 7 year warranty on the car and 8 year warranty on the battery means I have some peace of mind.

I bought a new vehicle for 25% off MSRP, 30% off for a used one is not a good deal.

I didn't go that far (every permission) but had the same experience.

I tried this and doesn't seem to work; though unclear what permissions I should be granting it, so possibly that is the issue.

You need only "Contents" Read and write permissions. Make sure when you generate fine-grained personal access tokens on the following page: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new you select your desired repo (because it defaults to public repos and that will not work).

There is an article about this based on a Chris Lattner talk/links to previous HN discussions: https://danielchasehooper.com/posts/why-swift-is-slow/

Wow. I think sometimes you just don't know how things are going to turn out until you use something "in anger", as they say here in the UK. "Let's try using this fancy type-checker in a production language" is reasonable. "Let's overload + so you can combine things easily" is reasonable. "Let's allow you to express different kinds of types as a string" sounds pretty cool too. How could you know the combination of all of those would change a simple expression with an invalid type in it into a 42-second compile time with a cryptic error message, except by actually doing it?

EDIT: Meanwhile, over here in go-land, I just got annoyed that adding a new external authorization library took the average compile time of my 20k project from 7s to 9s.

This is absolutely wild.

I assume RAM will also be a major constraint for on device ML; most Macs still default to 8GB (with absurd bumps in price to upgrade) so I'd guess some very high percentage of Macs sold in last 2 years are going to be quite bad for any major new software stuff Apple release in 2024. That is assuming they even are supported at all; if Apple follow their iPhone playbook they might just release the new stuff on late 2024 Macs.

Releasing the (more) mainstream model “as early as the end of 2025” or about two and a half years from now seems pretty depressing if accurate.

Allowing another year for some kind of volume of sales that might justify the development of apps etc suggests we are a long way off this being a supported, mainstream computing platform.

Is there really a minimum of 3? It seems to offer a "Just me" option.

I also noticed it seems to include something equivalent to a standard zoom subscription so this whole thing might save me money!

PS A lot of the comparison tables etc are confusing and in past I noticed (I'm in UK) the offer details vary by country.

The economic theory would be something like given lack of (senior) engineers, salaries should rise to expected marginal revenue.

Conflating actual outcomes in real markets with economic theory is typically unhelpful.

Microeconomic theory would cap total marginal costs (including COGS) at marginal revenue, not just salaries.

As I’d guess most people spend most of their time in Chromium browsers and electron apps probably a case to make that ‘native’ in the sense you imply is Chromium!

Stateful hot reload is pretty awesome when doing UI work. On desktop that is pretty hard to find.

Also, as a TypeScript/Swift/Kotlin person, Dart is fine; sure I’d like algebraic data types but overall it is good. The tooling (auto completion etc) is great. And it has a few cool unique(ish?) features like cascade and every class is an ‘interface’.
