But a museum doesn’t ask you to “buy” an exhibit… The misleading aspect of digital “ownership “ is in the use of the word buy.


Interesting that this site makes money despite pcpartpicker existing. Gives me hope that there are a bunch of opportunities to build something like this for other hobbies.


In the context of the article, I read this as "modify the test first for an existing unit test and a bit of production code under test". I don't think this is equivalent to "always write the test first".


I've been tempted to start foor gifts. Family buy me books for Xmas and having a big list of what i already own would make that easier.


Depends on country. UK is every three months.


To be fair, they do call out in the article that they're hosting on their own hardware. Afaik Heroku has always been hosted on AWS which is a lot less capital-intensive than buying hardware.

Also, Heroku was acquired in 2010. I know that the prevailing sentiment around here is that the acquisition was a mistake, but Heroku has been owned by Salesforce for 13 of it's 16 years of life...


Unless you don’t want a Mac? I like my Mac, but prefer Linux for dev. Having a beefy AMD framework 16” that I can refresh in 3 years sounds great to me.

> What’s the point of trying to save the environment when the other 8 billion could care less?

“What’s the point in doing things you personally care about if there isn’t worldwide consensus?”


Hopefully soon, linux will be running just fine on the Apple Silicon.


Hasn't it been running just fine for years already? Linus Torvalds uses Asahi. Sounds fine enough for me.


No webcam, mic or internal speakers as far as I know?


Eat your heart out Mark Lawrence. All we need now is a shipheart!


I've found this to be the case. But I don't think it has to be face-to-face. Booking a meeting/lunch on zoom where people have fun by playing an online game (https://www.drawasaurus.org/ was my favourite), can do wonderful things for team cohesion in my experience.


Wondering how long they're going to continue comparing to old Intel-based iMacs... The M1 iMac came out two years ago now.


Many are still using the Intel iMacs and looking to upgrade, so the comparison is still relevant.


Possibly more so now than 2 years ago.

M1 was faster, but now seeing more numbers show just how much faster/productive/etc, it's probably the push people who were on the fence for the last couple years need. Start budgeting now for the next fiscal year, etc.


Yeah, I think this is especially true when we're talking about the products that are almost exclusively used by creative professionals rather than other individual users, like Studio and Pro. It makes sense that they'd want to have waited a little while to transition.


Today’s announcements complete the Intel to Apple Silicon transition so seems pretty appropriate.
