I picked up an M3Pro/11/14/36GB/1TB to 'test' over the long holiday return period to see if I need an M3 Max. For my workflow (similar to blog post) - I don't! I'm very happy with this machine.

Die shots show the CPU cores take up so little space compared to GPUs on both the Pro and Max... I wonder why.


This should work fine with vim-dadbod and vim-dadbod-ui... Right?


Can anyone ELI5 - Is the compound/material used for LK-99 that unique? Are there other, similar materials that might also have this 'quantum well' quality?


It's relatively common materials, basically, lead, copper, sulfur, and oxygen, combined in a specific manner.

There is a chance that either the original measurements were wrong or that there remains some unrealized step in the process to make the superconductor superconduct.


I love the mini - and I'd say an iPad makes sense for consumption and pen use (handwriting notes)... but the 'Pro' is a waste of an M1/M2.

I would kill for a rebooted 12" Macbook with that same terrible keyboard if it at least had an M1 in it.


omg that 12" macbook would absolutely SING with an m1


I like the analogy of using a kanban for managing work to playing poker.

It takes 10 minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master.


They're prioritized tasks. They're pulled through. Simplicity is the structure.


I get that, that’s what I do with my team, but I’ve never heard that referred to as “doing Kanban”. Maybe I’m just being pedantic, but writing an article to say “you don’t need Scrum, just pull tasks off the board” completely misses the point of why teams use Scrum.


Scrum is pushing stuff into a sprint. Kanban is pulling the highest priority stuff through - it's done when it's done.

Metrics/Analytics can be calculated when your done based on actual information, as opposed to the beginning when you're guessing, and likely to be held to your estimates.


I assume you still have planning meetings though only that you don't do commitments, right? Is this in any way different than the planning part of XP?


They're also visualized (on a kanban board) - are you doing that? Make work visible.


For us, visibility isn’t an issue. I would say estimations are by far the biggest struggle we have in “doing Kanban”. Luckily, they’re not super important for us and I usually bubble up a very rough estimate in monthly reports to management, but in an org where they matter more, I can absolutely see why Scrum gets adopted the way it does.


Why do you estimate when using a kanban? You might look at an item and break it down for simplicity. You also might go in with a goal of 'one card per member per day' or something similar. But nothing should be fixed to an estimate. If something is delayed, it should show up stuck in a lane. Respond as needed.


Because work is deadline driven by whoever is paying the teams' salaries. If you can't accurately estimate when you can get it done, you break it down until you can you get replaced by someone who can.


Nate, I'll work with you...


The first sentence:

"GPTs are General Purpose Technologies"

I wonder what a Generative Pre-trained Transformer would say about that...


Would the mechanics of those switches be any good?


They're supposed to be, yes. Maglev and hall effect is a hot topic in keyboard modding communities.


Excellent idea!

Was able to get all of my feeds exported to an OPML file, then imported into my RSS Reader of choice.
