My ideal iPad is a 15" iPad Pro with an M4 Pro, combined with a Magic Keyboard with 2 Thunderbolt ports (that do both data & power) and a built-in second battery, that can run macOS and all my legacy software/workflows in a virtual machine, and can be operated entirely in clamshell mode from an external monitor. A drafting table when I need it, a pro workstation when I need that.

If such a machine existed, I would never buy a Mac again. That's what I've wanted on my desktop for the past decade

@stroughtonsmith A “built-in second battery”? I don’t get that, why two batteries?

David Dylan Thomas started his closing talk strong with such a good quote.

It's still going strong.

Like his talks title says:
"No, seriously, fuck engagement: Building a more human web"

@sarajw Do you know if the talk will be posted online? I’m very much interested.

If you would listen to this presentation next week, what question would you ask me?

@bagder With the benefit of hindsight, what functionality would you rather not have implemented in curl, or not in the way it currently is, but it’s too late to change now because it’d cause breaking changes?

(I’m assuming something like that exists in curl because the probability of it happening in any software project increases with longevity and popularity, and curl has both)

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

@aral @ben Jeff left Stack Exchange over a decade ago. What’s the sense in criticising him for this?

@atpfm Question for @siracusa: Have you considered going back to doing your massive macOS reviews, even if not for Ars Technica?

I remember you mentioning they were a ton of work and you dedicated so much time that you ended up working less than minimum wage to write them while working a regular job. But now that you’re self-employed and presumably have a larger audience that is willing to directly sponsor you (podcast memberships), have you given it a thought to trying again solo?
