"One of the two USB-C ports is limited to USB 2.0 speeds of just 480 Mb/s"

Why? Did they stock-piled USB 2.0 controllers and now need to get it off their inventory or something?

Costs. gotta remember this thing is based on iPhone hardware...which doesnt have more than 1 usb port normally.

More like stockpiled a phone SoC with limited I/O

Sales are about distribution, they have a channel. This "moat" thing matters to unestablished start-ups a lot more. We should apply context while copy pasting arguments.

This just means that the existing sales channel would be their moat. Which can be a valid argument, though I don't remember having heard of Raycast before, so it isn't obvious to me. I was interested in hearing what they see as their moat here.

Can we please not equate "performant apps with good user experience" with "native apps". One is (user-centric) goals, the other one is just a dogma, propaganda sold by a certain type of consultant.

You mean writing simplistic forms so full of side effects they need to be written in a "native" framework? Sounds like good engineering.

It's just noise for AI too. There is no reason to be lazy with context management when you can simply ask the AI to write the summary of the session. But even that is hardly useful when AI can just read the source of truth which is the code and committed docs

I think when people stop hyping skills and go back to using proper (mcp) tools, it would not be hard to come up with UI to give explicit permissions. It was there from the begining.

Except real life is not a program, and the input data is flawed (human and machines' errors). The acceptance tests are just predictions, based on, again, fallible analyses of the flawed data from history. So many layers of errors that compound

> CSS only exists becuase javascript failed to develop a styling component to displace it

there is no sortage of projects that do it (especially during the react era, people wanted to get rid of both html and css) but they get pushed down by dogma/inertia mostly. There was iOS constraint layout language ported to js. Seemed pretty cool, but the guy behind it decided to give up and everyone was like welp we tried, didn't work.

It sounds like the consistent pattern is the requirement for browsers to support it. If browsers supported intermediary languages instead, that might be ideal?

browser is the new os. It should just have first class support for a common bytecode target (wasm), everything follows.

I think the issue with CSS was that the low level APIs wasn't exposed which was the point of project Houdini https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Houdini_API...

Don't look at the end destination, look at the journey to the destination

* Learn low-level details of a basic but real-world CPU

* Practice the brain gymnastic of programming an atypical Turing-complete computer

Your created new connections in your brain, put to use some of the old established connections. Having a machine spit-out the emulator would rob you of all that. Like, you can drive from A to B, but running for A to B can do you much good.

This seems like a great use of time actually

I did not use any AI

If an AI can do this, it's definitely an AGI.

installing new tools inside container requires you to update the Dockerfile and rebuild, here it seems you can simply run the installation command and create a checkpoint

You can do this with Docker too without Dockerfile or rebuilding. You can treat the container as mutable and just start/stop it, doing changes manually, and make snapshots with docker commit.

You'll forfeit the benefits of reproducible scripted environment of course but Docker does let you do it.
