I spent countless hours on trying to fix React native navigation while I was developing a test app. I am glad finally there is some good solution to it.
Exactly my thought. You need a bit of luck along with good project to get viral on HN. Otherday I saw simple PDF memo generator got lots of traction while so many other cool apps didn't even surface up.
Depends on how you value the features and build quality of the case. Apple laptop cases are extremely expensive (each one is individually machined from solid aluminum), but the result is a top-notch combination of strength to weight ratio.
You call it "ridiculous", but it's not like they charge you a bunch of money and give you nothing. You get a single vendor for operating system and hardware, free support at their retail stores, and free updates to the operating system.
People these days whinging about "extremely expensive" have no idea. Computers used to be stupidly expensive and ridiculously slow, no matter the brand. We've been spoiled by these vendors willing to sacrifice everything to slash costs and margins.
Do you want a good keyboard, a great trackpad, and a durable metal housing? Be prepared to pay more than you would for some system built out of what was salvaged from the garbage bins of Dell's factory.
Every single one of these alternatives listed is over $1000, and that segment of the PC market is tiny. Most get all dizzy at the thought of spending more than $500 on a laptop, that's what the industry's conditioned people to think.
I dropped my Macbook Air, which is quite thin and light, from about 5 feet up onto a tiled bathroom floor. It hit on a corner at the thinnest end. The corner bent a few mm and the lid doesn't quite close correctly. But it woke from sleep no problem and I have used that laptop for more than 2 years since.
It would be great if Apple could engineer a completely indestructible 3 lb laptop. I'm pretty darn pleased with the durability for its portability.
It would be great if they engineered such a laptop. Since they don't want to try, though, other manufacturers are doing it for them. Those companies are also taking pretty solid amounts of their market share, too. [4]
Agreed. If you click out of the weird popup the article is in, you get a list of articles. If you click on one of those articles, a new window/tab opens in your browser, with a similar setup (article in weird popup), and if you click to the left of that, now you have two windows/tabs with lists of articles.
I almost wonder if it was made like that as a joke.
