Parting a fool from his money is a socially beneficial activity.

Even if this were true, it would be better if the archives were not available for some decades after the original posting. I’m OK with my content being analyzed by historians, but the definition of “historian” presumes some professional detachment that is not available short years after the post was made.

Beats are mostly cheaply made crap that aren't competitive on price.

How many years has the 13” MBP been stuck at 16GB RAM now? 7?

If you think physical characteristics like aperture size are equivalent to using a tube amp, you are beyond help.

> Unless you are printing these photos, the iphone's cameras are more than adequate for posting online.

Everyone says this until they see photos of the same event from a dedicated camera with a large optical path.

Because I've taken tens of thousands of pictures on FF DSLRs, APS-C MILCs, and iphones.

> but fewer than you might think.

I run into them all the time. Only really boring photography with no stressors looks OK on a cell phone camera.

> The new iPhone 12 will capture RAW photos even when applying Deep Fusion and other advanced techniques

Then it's not a raw image; it's just called that for marketing.

Unless you mean "MILCs won't give you RAWs when using HDRs", which is wrong.

> I'm fairly sure no common mirrorless camera is going to be able to do HDR video at the level that the iPhone 12 will do it

I'm quite confident log-format video e.g. from an X-T3 will be much better (modulo the fact that you have to postprocess it manually).

> I always understood that for a telephoto lens you wanted the f-stop number to be higher,

I suspect you are confusing f-stop (ratio of aperture diameter to focal length) and focal length ("zoom").

Also the f-stop marketing is annoying to me - the f/2.4 aperture on an iPhone lens is probably equivalent to like f/22 on an FF lens for most purposes.

The way I avoid stressing about this is by realizing that the iPhone camera is still way worse than a real dedicated camera with a large optical path (lens and sensor). If you care about good photos, the Pro Max won't get you that far in the grand scheme of things.

> Go is one of the easiest languages to write with a simple text editor.

As long as you never refactor anything.

> Rust is among the hardest due to its complexity and demanding static analysis

I have never wanted or needed to offload Rust's "demanding static analysis" to my text editor. Rust's linearity/lifetime type system is really quite simple - it's not like you have to keep track of long-distance lifetime relationships in your head.

Even a reasonably powerful type system with e.g. HKTs, arithmetic, etc. like Haskell's rarely benefits from external tooling, and any interactivity can often be just as easily done via a polling build tool like ghcid rather than integrating it into a text editor.

The one place where it strikes me as sane to have a "smart" text editor is if you're using a proof assistant-style language like Coq/Idris/Isabelle/Liquid Haskell/etc. where there's actually a non-trivial amount of interactivity required while writing the code.

I shouldn't need an industrial-strength editing engine to efficiently express my ideas. (And don't, if I'm using a nice expressive language.)
