Is it? Remember servers exist.

Personally (and most people I know) see windows as user stuff. Not developer stuff. So CLI tools etc are linux/mac-first. Lots of projects I find nowadays don't even have a windows build...


You could get used to a lot of stuff. One of my friends is used to using a fake leg.


Menu bar is on top on mac. I see it as the top bevel becoming a screen, not taking away from any screen real estate, actually FREEING up space for apps. I never see the notch anyway because my wallpaper is black.


Until you want to do something full screen, then it might be a glaring black rectangle on top of the screen. The way to do it properly is to hide the camera in the thin bezels or somewhere else (inside the LCD, are we there yet?). This is just a lazy solution that designers probably even thought seems iconic.


Full screen stuff isn't supposed to go behind the notch, unless they opt in to supporting it. By default, fullscreen stuff just gets the notchless 16:10 area under the menubar, and the menubar area goes black, so the notch becomes invisible and nothing is "glaring", it just looks like the top bezel of the screen is larger.


I get what you mean, but to me it just looks like before there was a notch, like there's no screen there. I can't really tell where the bezel ends and the screen starts if it's all black. Just looks like a large bezel.

Guess it's just a matter of taste. I'm never bothered by it.


But if you hide it in a small bezel or behind the LCD you will get significantly worse camera quality.


The quality is already insane if you think about how thin it has to be, with "glass" in front of it and the alu behind it. Pinch it with your fingers, imagine a CAMERA being thinner than that...

I feel like the only one that's still amazed by tech sometimes. I still look at planes and feel amazed we puny humans did that. It's never good enough.


You use 1 finger, always, on iOS? Or am I misunderstanding? If not, how would you not go crazy? Or are you using swipe-style typing?


>You use 1 finger, always, on iOS?

Yes. My left index finger. NO SWIPING. I've been doing it since my first iPhone back in the day and I haven't gone crazy yet!

Full disclosure: I'm 77 years old. Perhaps it's a geezer thing....


Haha, well, color me impressed. Because I’m curious: do you type a lot on your phone, or mostly on a computer or similar?

And sorry to say but my dad (71) also does this, so it indeed might be a geezer thing… you’re a cool one though, you’re on hacker news! ;-)

(All this typed with a big smile on my face, you made my day)


>do you type a lot on your phone, or mostly on a computer or similar?

You know, I've never really thought about the comparison until you asked. I estimate 99% on MacBook Pro/1% on iPhone w these 2 phone use cases:

1) Captions for my YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd6EjvCDRRWlkHjEYvSfOkA)

2) Replies to emails/texts

Thanks for the kudos!

I'm glad I brought some joy to someone today!


Ah, I guess it makes sense you're not crazy then, haha. For me it's probably 80/20 (80 being programming on a macbook). I've subscribed to your channel by the way, 7.8k videos is insane; you started when you were ~58! I was 13 then... I'd wager Humphrey isn't there anymore, but they'll always be there to look at!


Grok. These were all in continuation, not first reply.

3/6 of those are sycophant.


Best one of all LLMs I’ve tried so far. And not only in sycophancy.


Two of those three sound more like a bored customer service rep.


A lot of them use onshape. In-browser but not open source. Free for public use though. Not sure what you’ve seen.


People hate it because it had less filters and media caught on, so they told people to hate it.

It’s actually the best one right now, or close to. For my uses (code and queries) nothing comes even close.

Once people look past the “but ELoN mUssKkkk!!!”, they’ll be surprised.


There’s work being done in this field - I saw a demo using the same method as stable diffusion does, but then for text. Was extremely fast (3 pages of text in like a second). It’ll come.


Works great! Tested on Orion. Sad to see I couldn't delete system32.
