Today, Apple has begun selling refurbished configurations of its recently released MacBook Air with M4 chip – with a roughly 15% discount compared to MSRP. This follows the addition of Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Black and M4 Max/M3 Ultra Mac Studio earlier this week. Apple Refurbished Macs are held to a very high quality standard, and more or less look brand new – minus the packaging. All essential components are replaced as part of Apples Refurb program.

Whatever Happened to Sandboxfs?

news.ycombinator.com Julio Merino 2025-09-15 07:37:09

Back in 2017–2020, while I was on the Blaze team at Google, I took on a 20% project that turned into a bit of an obsession: sandboxfs. Born out of my work supporting iOS development, it was my attempt to solve a persistent pain point that frustrated both internal teams and external users alike: Bazel’s poor sandboxing performance on macOS. sandboxfs was a user-space file system designed to efficiently create virtual file hierarchies backed by real files—a faster alternative to the “symlink fore

Most of my readers are probably familiar with procedural programming, object-oriented programming (OOP), and functional programming (FP). The majority of top programming languages on all of the language popularity charts (like TIOBE) support all three to some extent. Even if a programmer avoided one or more of those three paradigms like the plague, they’re likely at least aware of them and what they’re about.

If you're having trouble deciding between the cheaper and lighter MacBook Air or spending more for the more powerful MacBook Pro, you've come to the right place.

Mel Brooks returns from the retirement home to save a galaxy 'very, very, very, very, far away'

Editor's take: If you're around my age, chances are you grew up loving at least one Mel Brooks classic. Young Frankenstein was my personal favorite, and Spaceballs cracked me up with its irreverent jabs at Star Wars and other sci-fi hits of the era. Now, nearly four decades later, Brooks is back with a sequel. After nearly 40 years, Mel Brooks is finally making a follow-up to his classic Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs.

We found a germ that 'feeds' on hospital plastic – new study

Plastic pollution is one of the defining environmental challenges of our time – and some of nature’s tiniest organisms may offer a surprising way out. In recent years, microbiologists have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down various types of plastic, hinting at a more sustainable path forward. These “plastic-eating” microbes could one day help shrink the mountains of waste clogging landfills and oceans. But they are not always a perfect fix. In the wrong environment, they could cause

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop.
