Not a huge fan of the "force touch" trackpads on newer macs, the old man yells at the clouds. In all seriousness though I have used a pre force touch MacBook not too long ago and I prefer that experience a lot over the new one I have from work. Though the larger size of these trackpads is something I really like and where neither the older MacBook nor the the current non-pro Framework 13 come close.

Same, though the battery upgrade alone will be around $260 because of the new bottom cover, at that might just throw in the speaker upgrade as well for $19. Not sure if I even want a haptic touchpad at all.

Invite only isn't that unusual for personal/friend&family servers. The author also set that in their prosody config. The snikket client works with many different XMPP servers, why wouldn't it? As you mentioned it's based on Conversations and for iOS on Siskin.

They're slightly larger than a iPhone 16. Both are significantly larger than the mini iPhones. https://phonesized.com/compare/#2535,2552,1863

Thanks for restating, I get where you're coming from. Also your reply to another comment made me realize this is also a language mixup on my side. I didn't realize there is a depression (mood) in English. My native language has the major depressive disorder as depression, not sure if there is a term for the mood. Sorry for not checking this assumption before but I guess my perception of suggesting 'have you tried not being depressed?' just didn't sit well with me.

> I didn't quite have the option of falling into some kind of depression and just doing nothing

Don't know if this was your intention but this comes across as if having a depression was a choice, which it rarely is with any kind of illness.

Not for students. CS6 single product was up to $250, CS6 DS $350, CS6 MC $800 compared to CC 1st year $240 increasing to $360. If you only needed a single product you were off worse after one year. Even doing a bachelors which required all products would have been less expensive with the one time fee if you had the money.

Oh I agree, just thought that there was a place in Europe were the prices are even more outrageous.

Where in the EU? In Germany they ask for 1429€ for the configuration you specified.

No, it means you may potentially have all of those but there is no guarantee. Neither is there a guarantee that a publicly insured person wouldn't receive the same treatment. E.g. if there aren't any free "better/worse" rooms what are they supposed to do? Many of these are nowadays covered by employers as a benefit or for cheap (~5€) out of pocket if you want.

Private insurance matters most for specialists that don't (aren't allowed to) have (or want) a public insurance license.

Supply chain issues, sanctions, travel or prices you can‘t afford at the moment your phone breaks down may make you switch the platform involuntarily.

They weren‘t caught while cheating though. So maybe hard to justify if they decided to go against expulsion with their lawyers.

Haven’t watched the video but this makes a lot of sense. I assume there are quite a lot of Leetcode solution repositories containing exact problem descriptions and LeetCode naming on GitHub. So essentially it‘s copy and pasting from these solutions.

Unless this reason is causing bugs and security issues.

TIL! Always thought this was a C++11 feature. Then this argument against the 'new' keywords is even weaker.

You can use `and` and its siblings instead of && and similar in C++11. Most people here, and in other boards, will try to convince you that it hurts readability because 'that‘s how we always did it' (read I‘m used to it and don‘t like change).

Will this hurt open source?

I assume companies that were fine with providing you functionality for free may think about this twice because with that they're giving away knowledge of how to build functionality.
