- As far as I know Apple does not even offer next-day on-site repairs as paid service. You have to send your laptop somewhere. Giving laptop with sensitive information out of my hands is not an option!

- Someone else wrote here that it costs $500 to replace keyboard on Macbook (needs new casing). That is a joke!

- It is not possible to replace keyboard on new Macbooks without major dissassembly. So on-site keyboard replacement is not possible even theoretically. Dell does everything onsite, including motherboard or display replacement.

- Next day on-site service is a standard in business environment. It applies to laptops, machines, trucks... No joke here, stuff breaks, stuff must be repaired, show must go on...

- I personally expect to have next-day on-site as an option. I would pay premium in case of emergency. In this case it was not urgent, but very nice surprise. Apple is a joke because they do not even offer that..
> “We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks.”

So I think they are saying "mental preoccupation" more than "stress" per se is the cause of the decline. At a certain point, however, mental preoccupation is the same as stress so it may be a distinction without a difference.
Well, my devices were those people leave on the curb monthly so finding Braun things there is possible (although not regular), B&O on the other hand .. you gotta be reaaaallly pressed to discard anything from them outside.
The worst part for me is the sound, the noise is so much more irritating than other keyboards for some reason. I think perhaps because of the higher pitch.
Off topic: why would someone install VLC over Snap instead of the version from Ubuntu repos?
have seen people in need apply for this at Twitter’s ‘neighbor nest’, filling hundreds and hundreds of forms...

This is one of the most beautiful and hopeful articles I've read in a long time. I was expecting a depressing read but was delightfully surprised.
>“We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks.”

How is this not stress?
If you define industrial revolution narrowly just as technological revolution and new industries, you are wrong. If you defined as a change in the whole society, you are right.

Technological advances -> new industries -> social tensions and hard political battle -> social changes -> living standards increased for everyone.
Hi,

Thanks for your ongoing work!
Would it be possible for you to create a duplicate rss feed where the articles are the root and not hidden in the description ? It would help keeping up with the pace by speeding up the scanning process (I only check for my feeds once a week or so, I have tons of links to go through).
I realize this would hide the 'daily' aspect of your effort, and I would totally understand if you declined.
Thanks again!

True but they'll have the finance allowing for rebound in case their numbers goes down in the future.
It would still look quite shady. It's also burning electricity, hogging your CPU and putting heat and stress onto your CPU which is way worse than just displaying an ad which costs literally nothing (or 1 or 2 cents for fetching a single png and link).

I use one donationware app and it's cleanly marked it display an add and it's explained they fetch it from their own site via a dumb static image request on startup (it sits under the main GUI, it's not a splash or wait or anything) and for a donation you can get rid of it. That's leagues above the experience an average website gives you without adblocking software these days.

As for the size - I've no idea what happened, the original page[0] tested by [1] reports as 153 KB. Maybe he just wrapped it in electron?

I have the similar thoughts about capitalism as the Great Depression leaves living memory.

Perhaps it is not any arbitrary and general '-ism' that is so deeply problematic, but the periodic failure or fall below some critical level of a collection of human understanding and willing effort that waxes and wanes with circumstances and lived experience over generations?
That perception is correct. It's limited because in practice Debian developers (being almost entirely volunteers!) don't have the resources to read and audit each line in an upstream release, so certainly intentionally obfuscated backdoors from a previously trustworthy upstream would almost certainly get through. But the type of attack in this article, with a new binary and an unwanted line of shell script to run it, would be very unlikely to get through.

There's also a limited set of people who can upload new packages and a separate team that reviews those, so duplicated functionality / low-quality apps are unlikely to make it into the archive in the first place. Yet Another 2048 Clone would probably not be allowed in unless it was part of e.g. an official GNOME game set.

It also helps that Debian insists on recompiling everything from source and does not redistribute binaries from an upstream source, even if freely-licensed source code is provided.
SF should be ashamed of the way they treat the poor and middle class.

Same, I love the keyboard on mine. The older keyboards feel mushy in comparison, I enjoy the solid click I get with the new design.
The part that's self-policing is that nobody verifies that a DD has in fact reviewed the code that they're signing and uploading (and as another reply points out, for large codebases like the Linux kernel, the maintainer almost certainly doesn't and just trusts the upstream signature).
In Scandinavia at least we use mile for 10 km. Not sure how common it is elsewhere.
Because the same snap can run on releases of Ubuntu all the way back to 14.04. 14.04 has VLC 2.1 in the repo. 16.04 LTS has VLC 2.2. The snap store has 3.0.1 in the stable channel, with 4.0 (dev release) in the edge channel. Versions that will never be in the archive of those older releases.

As LTS releases age, the contents of the repo age with them. PPAs are one solution, but they're undiscoverable and not straightforward for new users to setup. Ubuntu has a ton of users who are 'sticky' on old LTS releases.

This enables the VLC developer to have one package that targets millions of users across lots of releases of Ubuntu - and other distros too.
A few people raging on Hacker News is not representative of all influencers, either.

As a counterpoint, my current MBP (more than a year old) is half the weight of my old one, and while the keyboard is worse, it's not significant enough for me to jettison the entire ecosystem, which is great. The Touch Bar is fine for me, though I've configured it to act like my old machine.

Summary:

+2 points weight

+1 point improved display and resolution

-1 point keyboard

+0 points Touch Bar
Isn't that the kind of thing that that simply requires not to actively break it? I.e. dropping some CSS should restore that behaviour.

(Assuming it still works. I can't remember when was the last time I saw a site not redefining link styles completely.)
The fraction of Linux laptops at work has skyrocketed as well.

That probably shows up at Microsoft as Win10 revenue, fwiw.
Good point. Stalin was a anti revolutionary. He knew better than anyone.

But intelligence isn't a skill, it's a capability. The most interesting questions about it are what portion is fixed, what portion is influenced (dictated?) by environment, and which way the causation flows for correlated measurements. So, according to these "economists" being under financial duress affects intellectual performance. What does this tell us about the interesting questions? Would we be surprised to learn having cancer affects a sprinter's performance?
On a related note, in high school, my dog got hold of my nearly new HP-48GX; I wasn't so fortunate as you, as she bit right through the display, shattering it.

Figuring dog bites weren't covered under warranty, I sent the calculator — which had obvious "puncture wounds" through the display — off to HP Corvallis, with a note explaining the cause of the damage, and requesting a repair estimate for the damage.

A week or so later, I received a response — in the form of a brand new 48GX in retail packaging, provided at no charge.

Which, as expected, still works today (though these days, I rarely use any of my [embarrassingly many, including two revisions of HP-35] HP calculators other than my pair of 15Cs; though I do also have a 16C at my desk which I use on a semi-regular basis).

My point, I suppose, was that one of those cables should be in the box.

The charger's neither here nor there for the sake of my argument: as things stand, you can plug your phone into the charger and the connection between the two can be USB-A, USB-C or Jony Ive's finger for all it matters.
And for the life of me I can't understand why people use the Facebook app. The mobile web page loads faster, it's automatically sandboxed by being just a browser page and it can do almost anything that the app can do.

Besides on iOS at least, if you click on a link from the Facebook web page, you can take advantage of whatever content blocker you have installed.
Those random docker images are rarely used in isolation. They typically handle your data and often your customers data.

Beyond that, numerous escape exploits in linux containerization (and docker specifically) have popped up over the years, and many more are going to pop up over the coming years. This is not a mature space.

Running random binary code distributed from an non-curated source, even in a "container" is going to end in heartache.
Configuration management absolutely can do this. Note that I'm a builder of kubernetes clusters (on-premise) but also have contributed 400+ patches to the salt configuration management tool.

Salt has an "orchestrate layer"[1] which allows running states on sets of minions. One of those layers can be to configure a service, and another can be to update the load balancers when said service is healthchecking green. Saying these things simply can't be done with configuration management is utterly false. Kubernetes just makes it easier and more approachable for those less skilled in under the covers systems and infrastructure stuff. Kubernetes is a tool that allows you to build things quickly, but it isn't for everyone.

Can somebody explain why Affordable Rent exists?

Living in San Francisco, or New York, or London is not a human right.

Note: I'm not trolling, I'm a left leaning person which favours basic income and national health insurance, I just don't understand why living in a mega-expensive city should be subventioned by the state. If you can't afford a Ferrari, you buy a Toyota. Why not move to a less expensive place?
Not necessary. Larger assets take more time to read from disk.
Yes. I also grew up with Simon in the background. And also alot of Earth Wind and Fire. My parents were immigrants and we had alot of different music around the house. But, Talking Heads for me were the seminal band. Byrne/Eno's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was such an exotic album I started searching the world for other sounds. When I bought my first Fela Kuti album around 1985 my friends thought it was very strange.

It was a very special time for music. I became a collector (I got employee discounts at Tower even though I didn't work there). But, when Nirvana hit the big time, labels stopped promoting that kind of music (I don't like the term 'world music' either - Byrne wrote an essay about that). The focus went elsewhere, and to be honest, it hasn't been the same since (confirmed by some friends at some special record labels).
> I'd love something like Heroku that I could run on my own bare metal, or on AWS – the various solutions I've tried were all lacking.

I've worked on or near to Cloud Foundry for about 4 years now, and Heroku was one of the inspirations for it, along with Borg.

Is there something in particular it didn't do well enough?

A Monero miner is one of the more innocuous forms of malware ,compared to a C&C trojan or a keylogger. Some websites will mine monero in the background. Because it's just a js script, it's not much different than a banner ad except it's less intrusive, yet somehow 'currency miner' has more negative connotations than 'ad server'. That is the downside of decentralized mining and asic resistance is you end up with a lot of zombie miners.
These events are determined by things like the reproduction of labor, not Earth's solar orbits, which is why a generational timeline is more apropos. Also we have data from a variety of sources, but do not know the exact day when the first person was enslaved in the Fertile Crescent.

That aside, I mean right before 10000 years ago, before concepts like slavery, class, surplus etc. began their rise.

All human society then were in traveling hunter-gatherer bands.
I don't think anyone is arguing it's a human right. I think the argument is about displacement. Affordable Housing usually goes to people who have lived in an area for a long time and now can no longer afford it.
I tried that one, from the Microsoft Store and it didn't show when people were on or offline in my tests. I liked the idea behind it though, end to end encryption like iMessage.

I don't know if these modern messaging apps are using the same framework or what, but Skype/Telegram and whatever else I tried seem almost identical. I took away the idea that they were trying to encourage usage and engagement by not letting you know when someone had shut off their machine or not. Like a push to always be connected, install the mobile app and then not worry about ever being away..

that concept doesn't work for me because my phone has nothing but SMS/iMessage and calls enabled. I am trying out two more options though, since I'm always looking for better privacy/encryption.

Retroshare & qTox are two that I'm currently testing. I'm not entirely happy with Trillian's encryption (nonexistent).
For what it is worth, my wife and I visited some Chilean and Russian bases in Antarctica a couple of years ago as part of a tourist visit. The Chilean base was military search & rescue and they were literally sitting around watching DVDs. The Chilean guys especially seemed absolutely desperate for new faces/human contact and welcomed us into their base with open arms (and even offered us beers!) The Russian base I could only enter one room (and a church!) so did not see how busy the were or how desperate they were in there.

Some of the other bases that I could not go in to looked like basically just 2 to 4 huts/sheds - nothing like the "village" style bases/stations with loads of people milling about you might be familiar seeing. They didn't looks like fun or inviting places to hang-out at.

From what I understand, the scientific bases aren't really set up for carrying part-timers. E.g. the scientists are also the cooks and the mechanics etc. I don't think they'd pay to transport, feed, heat, and give a bed to someone to just do a couple of hours work a day then hog the super-expensive bandwidth on the satellite link? They'd much rather give that fuel, food, heat and bed to a scientist I think, or at least not someone there for free accommodation & internet.

tl;dr - join the chilean military and hope you get stationed out there.
(I've been using k8s for several years now, and have a couple dozen contributions so far)

Two big drawbacks.

First, with k8s itself is _stability_. K8s was a design-by-committee attempt to make Borg 2.0 with open source. It had massive feature development (which continues), but little actual real usage of those features. So it has taken a long time for things to get into a good shape. Things are much much better now, because of the popularity. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". But expect to debug things, especially if you use a feature not used by GKE.

The other big downside is it takes a lot of domain knowledge to manage it, and keep up to date (there is no LTS version). There isn't a standard way of deploying it into on-prem either. So that stuff needs to be built.
This is what happens when construction is heavily suppressed by zoning restrictions. Let people convert all the vacant lots and one- and two-story buildings into midrises and highrises, especially near transit, and market rents will fall and make lottery-housing unnecessary.
Oddly enough, I love this keyboard. I like it a lot better than any other keyboard I've used on many laptops I've owned.
You can't fill a city entirely with bankers, tech workers, and other professionals. What about teachers? Police? Those in the restaurant industry?

I don't think anyone is claiming that everyone should have a "human right" to live in SF. But when looking at the city as a systems problem, creating a sustainable system may require these kinds of measures to allow the right mix of people to live in the city.
I did not ask any question, I stated a fact. But yes, history will be preserved. However, the point of moderation is also to delete inappropriate content, not only hide it.
No, I actually didn't intend them to be paradoxical.

My feeling is that statically-typed languages and dynamically-typed languages are each better suited for certain kinds of problems. The former gives you better performance, long-term maintainability, and scales to larger programs. The latter gives you a faster iteration loop, is easier to learn, and is easier to dynamically load.

I think what happens is that any sufficiently large program covers so many different requirements that eventually different parts of the program are best implemented in different styles of language.

If you start statically-typed, you eventually get bogged down by the slow compile-reload cycle, need to dynamically load user-defined code, or what to express parts of the program in something higher level or more declarative. So you end up embedding a scripting or configuration language.

If you start dynamically-typed, eventually your program grows to the point that you either can't maintain it or it isn't fast enough, so you end up trying to bolt a type system onto your existing code or rewriting parts of it in a statically-typed language.

I think the costs for the latter are usually higher than the costs for the former, so I tend to lean towards starting statically-typed, but that's also because I'm comfortable using types.
It would still look quite shady. It's also burning electricity, hogging your CPU and putting heat and stress onto your CPU

I don't really see how nomad is operationally simpler than k8s. To run a service behind something like traefik on k8s I would:

bootstrap a CA for cluster tls
run etcd
run k8s (apiserver,etc,kubelets)
run your application
run the traefik ingress controller

To run a service behind something like traefik on nomad you would:

bootstrap a CA for cluster tls
run consul
run nomad (servers, clients)
run your application
run traefik somehow

I think the only thing that is really more complicated in k8s is the networking stuff, but that's only because it has more features, like having cluster dns automatically configured and being able to give every pod its own ip address which means every service can bind to port 80 without conflicts, and policy enforcement.
I agree with you but there is still a problem to be solved: a LOT of essential public services are provided by people that have salaries far lower than required for rents in a particular area.

Teachers, nurses, police officers, etc.
It's sort of like when the subject of human rights gets brought in the discussion of taxation. There are pragmatic concerns being brought up here for social order. Arguing about rights distracts from practical needs to ensure the public good.
They need electricians, technicians, mechanics, carpenters, cooks, probably sysadmins and much more over there. It's absolutely possible to get work in Antarctica and other remote scientific research stations for "normal" people.

£110k will go far in London except when talking about buying a house. One think you would do well to consider is the commute to work, how far away from the Hague do you have to be to afford a decent sized house to raise a family
I’d like to understand your point of view.

To say that there is more variation within a race than between races when examining a single gene at a time does not support the notion that there are black Africans “much more related” to white Europeans than to each other.

The fact that there is more genetic diversity among black Africans than among white Europeans doesn’t support that claim, either.
Looks like the DM42 also fixes the only complaint I ever had about the 42S, namely, the display contrast. While I've had a 42S for many years, and have spent many pleasant hours fiddling with it, it never replaced my pair of 15Cs as a daily driver on account of the display.
