You should be able to improve it further with a 4 layer board, as you can have the signal lines closer to their reference planes, and can more easily avoid signals crossing each other and breaking reference planes.

> This is official firmware which turns the ESP into a "radio co-processor", so you can treat it like a SPI or UART Wi-Fi/BLE chip.

Kinda funny because the ESP8266 basically started off as a WiFi "co-processor" with AT commands sent over UART. People quickly discovered it had a good amount of power and you could run your entire application on the ESP8266 instead of using it as a co-processor. That led to an explosion in popularity for "makers" because the chip was so cheap and capable for projects at the time, and I think that led to the ESP32 becoming so widely known.



You want the smaller ones so you can easily locate the arrow key cluster without having to look. The empty space above the left and right arrow keys is a good tactile indicator that your fingers are on the correct location.

I don't like that Tim Cook added the touch bar and removed the SD card slot, but you have to give him credit for also removing the touch bar and adding the SD card slot ;)

Hah, had a funny moment along these lines. SD vs MicroSD came up as a topic. I glanced down at my M3 MBP and said, “looks like MacBook Pros use the regular SD slot.” The guy solemnly informed me that actually, Apple had removed the SD card slot from my laptop. His face turned red when I turned it to show him.

I've used spaces since 2013, they work well enough. The animation bug is annoying though. On displays higher than 60Hz, the animation is slower because they made it frame-based instead of time-based, or something silly like that.

I love the three finger gesture to move between them though, it's like moving pieces of paper around. You can also work around the bug I mentioned by swiping faster, but yeah I wish they'd just fix it so we can move on.


Of course it can be used. But it is very buggy (as in missing or not well-though-out behaviors), which is unlike the typical polish Apple human interaction folks deliver. For example switching between Spaces and then between apps and windows and creating a new app window don't work as expected in some combination of steps and for some apps. There are several other "corner" cases that show the features were not laid out in a full design to exhaustively decide the desired behavior in each case. Which is very much like when someone bolts on a feature to a system without fully nail down its interaction with all other adjacent and relevant features.

I'm just responding to your "Why would you use that feature?" question. I use it because I like it, and it works well for me. I'm not disagreeing that they have some bugs and design issues to work out. It seems pretty obvious MacOS doesn't get as much attention as iOS when it comes to these things.

But thank god we were all able to generate some SVGs of pelicans, right guys?

Right?? I've gotten into mechanical keyboards quite a lot the past few years and it has totally made development and writing more enjoyable. Not giving that up any time soon.

I'm in the same boat. LLMs help with some research and idea bouncing, and then I write all the code myself.

Despite what some might say, there isn't a big moat between those who use LLMs for programming and those who don't. So if I ever truly need to use LLMs to survive, I'll just have to start paying for a subscription.

In the meantime, I'll be keeping my own skills sharp and see how that turns out in a few years. I'm afraid software quality is going to take a nosedive in the near future, it was already on a downward trend.


It's paywalled so I didn't read more than the first paragraph. But maybe the waste comes from overestimation of the amount of food to produce? Even if everyone eats a perfect portion for themselves, if you overestimate the total then you'll have food waste if the food can't be preserved.

> Even if everyone eats a perfect portion for themselves, if you overestimate the total then you'll have food waste if the food can't be preserved.

That'd be just poor planning on part of the hotel/restaurant. It'd be a valid excuse when starting new, but after a few weeks that should be under control.

If you only do breakfast buffets it's a bit harder - but you monitor the situation, and as breakfast time approaches the end you reduce things you can't store or re-use otherwise. Pretty much any hotel I've been to in the last few years had that kind of items run out without restocking them when we had a late breakfast.

If you also do lunch/dinner buffets you have some more options, and can have some dishes reusing the leftovers. I've also seen that regularly - they had the planned dishes, and a few smaller pots with something they came up with to reuse whatever was left over.


They make a distinction between plate waste which was served then trashed and total food waste. Plate waste is roughly a third apparently.
