I held my nose and bought an RTX 5070 Ti for $100 over MSRP in January. The very next week the same model was up $200. It turns out that NVIDIA had been subsidizing retail graphics cards with its Open Pricing Program. Not the whole story, but it may help explain the relative flatness of the graph until the end of January.

The other part of it is that the MSRP already baked in a substantial increase from the previous generation. While RAM was near rock-bottom pricing when this hit, current-gen GPUs definitely were not.


An editor that tries to be layout agnostic is almost certainly going to be a nightmare for people like me who set the layout in the keyboard itself. I downloaded the editor (I'm on Windows at the moment), and tried it with my keyboard set to Dvorak, which was plainly broken. I'm sure there's a way to fix the mapping, but when software thinks it's smarter than you, you end up feeling pretty dumb.


Have you used `*` to pick the keyboard layout?


The article links to a YouTube mini-review of USB enclosures from UGreen and Acasis, neither of which he loves.[1] I've been happy with the OWC 1M2 as a boot drive on a Mac Studio with Thunderbolt 5 ports.[2] I just noticed that there is an OWC 1M2 80G, based on USB4 v2.[3] I didn't know that was a thing, but I guess it's the USB cousin to Thunderbolt 5.

The article links to the opinion[1], which notes more than once that "the quoted language does not appear anywhere in the opinion," and "Goldstine appears to be a fabricated case." I don't know whether it's easy to get a copy of the complaint in question.

HN discussion at the time:

I found the idea of a password generator appealing, mainly due to vault anxiety. I didn't (and still don't) like the idea that I can't access a resource without this precious vault. If I'm home with my tools, great. Otherwise, give me the right hash function, and I can MacGyver my way to PBKDF2 and generate my password.

However, once you introduce metadata (e.g., to deal with password rules), the idea loses most of its appeal. I wouldn't feel any more comfortable posting such a thing publicly than I would a vault.


The metadata doesn’t bother me at all. Anyone who wants to can read that I have a Seattle City Light account, that it’s password is v6, and that the password rules say it can have all alphanumeric characters and must have at least one of a weirdly narrow set of “special” characters. That information alone isn’t enough to get anywhere.

What could be considered more sensitive, if you cared, is usernames. Someone looking at my metadata would learn my hn username, for example. But I don’t really consider that “secret” info.


I don't see anything in the post or the linked tutorial that gives a flavor of the user experience when you supply an invalid option. I tried running the example, but I've forgotten too much about Node and TypeScript to make it work. (It can't resolve the @optique references.) What happens when you pass --foo, --target bar, or --port 3.14?


I had a similar question: to me, the output format “or” statement looks like it might deterministically pick one winner instead of alerting the user that they erred. A good parser is terrific, but it needs to give useful feedback.


Absolutely; I think calling the function xor would be more appropriate.


Gemini says: pressing Option on the Swinsian menu changes the "Check For Updates..." menu option to "Check For Updates (Beta)..."

I don't have specific complaints about the current version, but I'm going to give it a try. If nothing else, it's probably ARM native.


Petrichor shows my albums as a single track. CUE sheet support is a must.

I also have a hard time seeing myself using a desktop music player without an iTunes-style column-mode browser.


I don't think it's that it's not stripping "e.g.", but that the search criteria are empty. The empty result set is prefaced by "Search results for:".

I actually like that the example is a complete, standalone program that you can compile or send to Compiler Explorer.
