How about looking at what the macbook pro market might actually want from a laptop? My list would include: More radio connectivity - built in IoT networks, sub-1ghz wifi, 5g Better mics with more background noise filtering / directivity (though my M4 is already pretty good) Better thermal management (always) That's pretty much it for me

Comment Re:Those are not compact cars. (Score 1) 221

What does the availability of an electric version have to do with the (accurate) facts posted rebutting the statement "Environmental and safety laws have made is close to impossible to sell a new ICE car below that amount in Europe"? For the hard of reading and overly defensive, ICE = Internal Combustion Engine

Comment Re:Avoid too many languages & DB's (Score 1) 288

> communicate between apps and sub-apps via the DB This is an explicit anti-pattern for microservices, since they're now very much not interdependently deploy-able since they all need to be upgraded to work with the new schema (where necessary) then the schema update done, then the new functionality enabled. (Yes, there are many functionalities that can be done with less schema sensitivity, but we're talking about a general case). The idea of microservices is that they are sufficiently decoupled that they can be updated, potentially hundreds of times per day, without consumers or peers needing to care unless they make use of new functionality. There are performance drawbacks to high levels of decoupling, so just like database normalisation you break the platonic ideal where your architecture and application require it.
