“When Donald Knuth gave up email in 1990, he wrote: “Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration.”

“JavaScript is, in my opinion, a working-class language. It’s very forgiving of types (this is one reason I’m not a huge TypeScript fan), it’s easy to pick up (compared to something like Rust), and since it’s supported by browsers, there is a huge pool of people who are conversant with it.” - @nolan

“As of the 24th of February in 1984, the price for a commercial license of UNIX System V Release 2 with source for a single CPU stood at $43000 (about $126000 in 2024), and each additional CPU was a further $16000 (nearly $47000 in 2024). For educational institutions, the price was lower at $800 (or $2300 in 2024) and an additional $400 for each CPU.”

@gruber I agree the Mac notebook lineup is in a good spot but there's still a gap imo. I would like to see something like a 12-in MacBook Pro, M3 Air with M3 Pro + Better Display, or all-new 12-in MacBook (OLED?).

I was trying out the Phone Link app on Windows 11 and....yikes. I opened it up after a restart and it asked if I was enjoying it with two options: Yes or No. I selected No and it asked me to "Get an app" to submit feedback 😂
