I've got the X3 (not having a usb-c hasn't been a problem at all for me). And I'll probably buy whatever they release next if the price keeps being in that range. The only thing I want is probably a better display (as in whiter, more DPI, colors), yeah and the battery life is awesome, I barely have to charge it at all, I don't want this to change! I really wish they just keep improving on quality of what's already there and not add new things like touch screen, android and whatnot.

Not upgrading my personal iphone/macbook and I wish I didn’t upgrade my work iphone/macbook (unfortunately I had to)

For the first time in 15 years I am considering to not buy apple as my next phone/laptop regardless of the specs.


That's clever! But I still want JS to get the actual pipeline operator.


Looking at it and... it's just a style that makes perfect sense!


Wondering if this is going to make Threads availble in Europe.


Just one thing I hate about Copilot is how it needs to be updated two times a day.


This is how I understand the whole heohaskell thing: some guy comes out of nowhere, spends some time picking fonts for neohaskell's website and then starts churning out github-tickets for this-is-what-a-better-haskell-is-supposed-to-look-like instead of actually doing stuff :)


I think he's tracking his ideas about this project in github tickets. IMO, that's a good first step. Whether he'll do something about those tickets or not is a question that comes later. Let's see what he'll do.

I can agree with this. However, it's odd to start communicating the way he did this early in the project, when none of these ideas have been thought out.


That's probably as close to reality as I would guess. We'll have to see if anything gets delivered.

I don't get why Gabriela is so against this project, it might just be vaporware. But invoking the fact that this person is not already established in the community is detraction for detraction's sake (or gatekeeping).

Funny enough, I've also been very slowly chipping away at some base(/prelude) Haskell library replacement, because I find it beyond embarrassing that in 2023 with a default Haskell installation one cannot make a HTTPS GET request.

Haskell comes with half depleted batteries inside the box. And I cheer for anyone that tries to fix the base experience. If this one's vaporware, I'll just wait for the next person that gets too frustrated with the library experience.

Sounds interesting! Do you have anything you can link us to?


Not really. While my mention in the previous post was 2023, I actually started coding this in the summer of last year. As I work on it once in a blue moon, might be a year or two away before I publish anything.

If you're interested in terms of approach, it builds on what I consider saner exports/re-exports of all the other packages that are part of a default installation (base, containers, text, bytestring, etc), and avoids reinventing where industry standards exists (no tls/http client stack from scratch but curl C bindings). There are a few other abstractions I've written in there, but those feel rather flimsy and might remove them.


... we also need a base library that has some standard data structures like maps, vectors, stacks, and queues! Best of luck with your project. :)


> Surely whatever money these guys spend buying these zero-days, Apple is rich enough to increase their bounties large enough to attract them to right side instead?

Apple is a commercial organisation with a sole purpose of generating profit. And the bounties are at their equilibrium points already (or at least supposed to be). Apple is rich enough sure, but they will only spend money if this makes Apple even richer.


There was a nice comment Prime made that it's not only about the ownership model, many people come to Rust for it's type system.

I have a feeling that far too many people go do Rust while what they actually need is OCaml - it's fast, has a nice type system and you don't have to think about lifetimes.


I agree, and OCaml (and the less popular but delightful StandardML) are lovely. But the problem there is the ecosystem just isn't there.

F# or Scala seem like reasonable choices.


Ownership is part of the type system.


Reading comments here about Tesla Y. And my impression is that the build quality and everything got substantially better over the years.


This. I bought an early model 3, and a a slightly later MY. The Y is far better quality wise (but even the 3 is still a great car)
