Microsoft has a long history of not making durable products.

I've been a bit of a fan boy, and all but one piece of Microsoft hardware I've owned has needed factory service. Xbox 360, Zune 80, Surface RT, Surface 3, Surface Pen, Nokia 920. Its embarrassing. Only my Xbox One has been spared, but I've used it less than 100 hours, so who knows how it would fare if I actually used it.

I've never met a surface owner who didn't have a serious hardware or software failure within the warranty period. Its embarrassing. Questioning the validity of their product design is 100% valid.

I think whatever is on your disk is less valuable than humanity as a species. I think the amount of backup you can "afford" should be relative to the value of the thing being backed up.

Backing up is also not the strongest reason to go to Mars. "Because its there" is easily the strongest, but its not understood by those who don't understand it... That seems tautological, but it is hard to label this thing, it is like a sense of adventure but less childish. It is the same thing started every other exploration into the unknown and left everyone who stayed behind alive and poorer for it. When it pays it pays off in vast sums, literal new worlds are the payoff.

With inline quoting the relevant content of the conversation is immediately and easily discernible. You may Cc people with a whole copy of the thread at the bottom, but IME nobody bothers reading through. For one thing, it's in reverse order so very difficult to follow. It will also contain all the irrelevant parts of the discussion, which in a long thread will be the vast majority of the quote, thus making it even more burdensome to wade through. Part-and-parcel of inline quoting is pruning.

OTOH, inline quoting was always destined to fail. It requires that one purposefully and carefully edit the thread and reply in the appropriate place. That's asking too much of the vast majority of people. Perhaps it could have been preserved to a greater extent had Microsoft Outlook not effectively forced bottom quoting, but alas that ship sailed decades ago.

Unfortunately, most consumers are making this harder and harder to do. They now demand thiner and lighter PCs, phones and tables, which make upgrading them increasingly more difficult. What really pisses me off, though, is that specifically Apple is making upgrading all their PCs and laptops impossible (there is currently no Apple laptop that you can easily open with a screw driver without risking damaging the whole laptop).

I currently have a 6 year old macbook pro and I love it. I was able to upgrade it a few times (RAM to 16GB and a 650GB SSD) but I am not sure if I will buy another mac if apple has no laptop that is upgradeable and servicable to a certain degree. While my mac is still fine, the CPU is getting slow (compiling bigger programs takes 5 to 10 times as long as they do on newer machines) and I am worried that my mac might not get security upgrades any time now.

What the EU would have to do is strike a good compromise, which makes it realistic to upgrade/service devices without pissing off customers because "EU device are so much bigger". Maybe they should force manufactures to sell a bulkier device which is serviceable alongside a non-serviceable device for the same price if a company insists on having a non-serviceable device. But that would increase the costs significantly because now suddenly Apple/Microsoft has to design two devices and offer them for the same price even though one device might only be bought by 1% of the customers.

I would really like a bigger MacBook Pro with upgradable components. I use my MacBook as a desktop computer 99% of the time (lit closed with an external screen) but I also need to be able to take it anywhere the 1% and not have to send a large amount of time to upgrade the software, install the new tools just to realize I have forgotten something and use all my mobile just to download that one thing. But maybe I am just a minority.

It's not so much a myth as that the saving/spending dichotomy is an oversimplification; the real distinction relevant to national policy is the velocity of spending induced in the domestic economy.

While even saving induces spending, it does so at a lower domestic velocity, on average, than consumer spending.
Seems like it'd be just a matter of developing fluency, the same way as with any other orthography. Adding one new glyph isn't that big a problem for someone who's already likely to be reading texts where long-s is found - so, at least, has been my experience, and while I always hesitate to generalize therefrom, I don't know that it's so unreasonable to consider doing so here.
They also have very speedy checkouts, where the bagging is done by the customer at another table. This means one employee and checkout lane can do the work of three.

Also, I've heard they pay their staff the most out of UK grocery stores.

Again, in this particular culture and economy, there wasn't much of a need to think about large numbers precisely.

I suppose so, but there's a reason I picked 87 years. It's a time-scale that we care about when talking about people and society. We don't strictly need precise numbers for that you could say "around when granddad was born" -- but if we do have precise numbers then we can and will use them.

I would say any battery powered electronic device should be required to allow user replacement of said batteries.

I would extend to say that any computing device costing over X amount (say $1000 USD) have user replacement ability to also include input device(s), memory and storage. Too many laptops are tossed because the keyboard wears out, or the drive dies.

Perhaps you missed this part in my comment:

> That said, during this march we need to allow certain frequent repairs (like screens and buttons) to be easily accessible, because that is fair.

Keyboards and buttons make sense, as those are mechanical parts users interact with a lot.

Ports are a different story. Is over-use of ports really going to be as much an issue in in 5-10 years? We're fast trending away from lots of ports, favoring wireless for networking, audio/video streaming, and charging.

And as far as standards go, USB-C and Lightning are better designed to break at the cable without breaking the device - a much better (engineering) approach to solving this problem.

Also, at some point if you break USB jacks on 5 of your Samsung phones, perhaps you should buy from a different vendor that can make something more durable. I think that goes for a lot of cheap products - they break more often because they're not built as well.

Introducing legislation to reduce the frustration of cheap products today would come at the expense of forward progress and finding engineering solutions to these in the years to come.
They all have their own network. They even have the same transit providers in Frankfurt (Linode and Vultr both use Telia for example). All three get to choose their upstream providers, your argument is invalid. In my tests DO had the best network even though all three save a lot of money by not getting transit from DTAG or UPC, which is a bummer for german customers.

Just compare:
http://bgp.he.net/AS63949#_peers
to

And you will see that DO alone in Europe (compared to Linodes global ASN) has many more transit providers and peerings.

Do you have an example or two of changed since since 7.8.11? As someone who started using org-mode at the end of last week, I'd like to make an informed decision on whether or not to go ahead and tattoo this to my forearms, or whether I should wait for an updated version.
This is the biggest conundrum for me. Every engineering decision is a compromise. There are very few cases where making a choice by going down one path isn't a compromise where you're getting one thing but giving up something else. Obviously user-serviceability is a good property for a device to have, but that has a cost as well (a device that is lower quality or less desirable in other ways).
THD is terrible, though. You picked a stupid metric, and got a stupid result.
That's the price of "thin". We should expect mobile electronics to be sealed watertight at the factory.

There's a tradeoff between repairable and bulky. Here's a repair job of mine.[1] This is restoring a Teletype Model 15 from the 1930s. These are completely reparable - every part can be removed without damage. IFixit would give it a score of 10. It's big, heavy, loud, and drips oil, but completely repairable.

It still exists among right-wing conspiranoids determined to believe that absolutely everything is a lie.
I've taken apart MacBooks (it was cheaper to put in a custom SSD than buy Apple's overpriced one .. and at the time they didn't offer 16GB of ram so I manually changed out the 8GB chips) and I'm often on the road a lot in a nomadic fashion, so ship-in based warranties are often a not-an-option.

I've found Dells, Lenovos and even MSIs aren't too bad to take apart; even their incredibly thin version too. Most have replaceable parts (Carbon X1 has soldered on ram .. grr, but you could get an adapter to M.2 for the first gen weird/custom SSD).

You can make super thin laptops that are serviceable, and with high end developer laptops running upwards of a grand, yes, people do service them. At most shops I worked at, if your Dell went bad, the desktop support team would take it apart get a replacement screen, bezel, battery, whatever, and send the original back as part of their service contract.

Music is language.

Music 'theory' is somewhat akin to linguistics (or language subjects). It can help you dissect and understand how things work in an abstract sense, but when it comes to actually talking (or playing music), you're operating in a different mindset.

The people who rely on music theory are non-experts in the same way that the people who rely on language class to speak are non-native speakers.

5G and Internet Technology
All electronic devices designed to operate via battery should be able to have them replaced by a typical owner. If that requires a spudger or standard screwdriver, so be it, but it should be able to be done by most users.
The biggest benefit for me is isolation. I keep the main system clean. Just install fish shell and glances there. And all messy stuff required by projects is isolated in individual containers. They can be rebuilt from scratch if needed and don't pollute the main system (except for well-defined data folders).
We still have a ways to go, to completely eliminating false positives, but these tools will help us get there. For example, you can recognize different types of objects now but we still need to figure out which are meaningful or not (like a person or animal vs a tree blowing in the wind). Even certain classes, some are benign while others or not, for example pedestrians walking by the front of my house versus a guy wearing ski mask fiddling with my window, they're both people, but their behavior is what separates them.
Cool, why did you rip off OP's creation?

> I haven't quite decoded exactly what the modern formulation of an `interpretive routine` is.

Here is one, though you can take the "modern" with a grain of salt:

printf("%s = %d\n", name, value);

The format string is interpreted.

A new-ish function that interprets is posix_spawn: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pos...

The actions parameter specifies instructions to be run inside the kernel, using a limited vocabulary. This is used to do things that are traditionally done in fork/exec code, like duping and closing file descriptors and such.

> Most of what we do is irrational. Entertainment is irrational. Music is irrational. Sex for pleasure is irrational.

None of those things are inherently irrational; they produce utility (subjective enjoyment is the definition of utility), and insofar as they are chosen against other alternatives to maximize realized utility, it's exactly rational.

Now, the absence of perfect knowledge and the fact that even with knowledge people don't always optimize total expected utility does mean that people are irrational, but the particular activities you point to are not inherently examples of irrationality any more than, say, investing in the stock market or wage labor are.
That doesn't account for overflow, though...
I think this is a case where Black Swans apply. You can't assume you know what the all the risks actually are, and in that case diversification is a good thing.

I think right to repair is a separate debate. The right to repair movement is about a company being able to sue you for attempting the repair at all. This is about the company doing its darndest to physically prevent repairs. As iFixIt shows, you're welcome to try.

Right to repair is also usually centered around software, since that's the crux of the argument used by companies like John Deere. JD technically isn't telling people they can't repair things, just that they can't "hack" their software (an "IP infringement"), which so happens to be a necessary step in repairs.
