I don’t see how? You can do all sorts of FP in js and it even has some of it in its built in APIs. .then comes from FP

People do see a high quality build laptop as a status symbol or a piece of luxury. Not having keyboard flex or general creaks really makes a laptop more enjoyable to use.

I learned about hand drawing low fidelity prototypes in 2/2 UX courses I’ve taken at Uni

No. I kinda like it. I can understand people’s dislike for it though.

Have you owned an M-series MacBook?

I also am not a huge fan of the 256GB storage, but if someone doesn’t already know what ram is, they really won’t care and won’t notice much. I’m a tech guy. I bought an M1 air with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. I was able to do development and mobile development fine. I never encountered RAM related slowdowns. I have an iCloud subscription because I don’t want to manage my own NAS. This is a heavier use case than what, say, a normal college student will do with it, and it worked just fine for me. This is by far the best laptop I have seen in this bracket. If I was just heading to college today, and I didn’t have the money for a Pro or Air, I would 100% get this far before a windows laptop.

This is pretty much a repackaged M1 air from 2020, so it’s a competent machine

Pretty much all US news is just blindly stating “what’s happening” which lends credence to the current admins (seemingly) illegal/poor behavior. Just accept that the president can start a war, no notes.

Hence the nextjs app on vercel (bloated mess). Plain react or svelte is performant fun fact, it’s all the cruft added on top that makes it bloated and slow.

You can return function pointers but not first class functions, which means you can’t do closures and other FP things in C

I can near guarantee this will perform better than both, especially as the user adds more programs and the OS gains cruft

> Is it this MBA idea that management itself is a profession, rather than being 'a higher level thinker than the others'?

Yes I believe so. At uni i see soooo many people who are in software to make a startup (before even knowing how to code) and make a quick buck instead of being good programmers

People when talking about plant based/better-for-the-planet alternatives often don’t discuss the fact that they’re usually more expensive per unit
