You did, however, proffer a discussion of the Linux boot process, and Linux operating systems do not and did not have AT&T System 5 init. They have/had something resembling it, written by Miquel van Smoorenburg in the 1990s. But it isn't AT&T System 5 init, and it actively diverged from it early on.

Ironically, 20 years ago was almost three years after van Smoorenburg init+rc had diverged from the old idea of one "single-user" mode and had instead taken the route of two modes, emergency and rescue. In fact, we only need to wait a year or so until it has been 20 years since those names can be found in widespread use. It has already been more than 20 years since the name "emergency" gained traction.

* http://jdebp.info./FGA/emergency-and-rescue-mode-bootstrap.h...

So whilst things are like they were 20 years ago, how things were 20 years ago isn't in fact the old AT&T System 5 world that people nowadays tell one another it was. That was the 1980s, and it wasn't Linux-based. Indeed, by 25 years ago the AT&T world itself had already introduced ideas changing the original model of multi-user login, such as the Service Access Facility.
This is a lot harder problem than it sounds. MacOS on a random piece of hardware would be out of the box a lot like the shitshow that desktop Linux is on a random piece of hardware. 90% of things would work and 10% wouldn't.

This is a matrix test problem of massive proportions and it would be hard for Apple to fund this, especially now that they have anchored the price of MacOS to $0.
And it shouldn’t confuse us either, as far as I can tell.
Well if people are truly horrific, isn't it really good that AI takes over everything that people control today.
Doesn't even need to use unicorns or something gross, the simple fact that the person was perceived as a "he got caught" is enought. Yes, shaming has its uses...
> “Security by obscurity” refers to the obscurity of the security scheme

It's not even that specific. It's obscurity of the workings of the system which may or may not have any security in place.
Of course, we do use Slack. Also, we're very into Agile with deep management background. Here's how we came up with the idea insight.
Wouldn't strategic reserves be a solution to this? Hoard enough to cover ramp-up time for domestic production.
Fair, I have definitely done the same thing.

Friends?
Ah, I missed that you apply for them.

I thought you just take them off the site and drop them in and go.
I think this is a combination of issues:

USB-C's ecosystem was confusing and good products never materialized, or if they did nobody could find them in the sea of junk.

The lack of hardware updates, which seems to have started with the 5-10% performance bumps Intel piddled out in the absence of competition from AMD from 2011-2017. Most of the CPU's and GPU's that could have been used frankly weren't much better than what they'd replace, so from that standpoint, upgrading the hardware was kind of pointless for an extremely minor performance benefit.

The keyboards situation is horrible. Failure prone and loud without much point.

Apple is making a lot of money in the iOS ecosystem. Success hides problems, and it seems like "if it's not broken, don't fix it" was used as an excuse to let the Mac languish.

As someone who did nearly all of Apple's IT-related certs in the mid 00's then watched them slowly decontent and destroy all of their OS X Server and related software almost immediately as iOS was on the rise, I don't see good things coming on the horizon.

If you're on a Mac, try to start using primarily OSS software and. Don't get stuck on a platform that might get abandoned tied to a workflow on software that isn't portable.

The silly thing is that Apple could (and should) invest in the Mac as it was pretty great, and could be great again. I'm not holding my breath.
Communication technology has undoubtedly had an effect on the Scots language, but I think that education is a far bigger factor. For generations, children have been taught exclusively in English and chastised for using Scots. Like Welsh and Cornish, Scots was a victim of linguistic imperialism.
Remember when Apple killed their server devision? It wasn't because it wasn't profitable - because it was. They killed it because it wasn't profitable enough to be anything other than a rounding error on their accounts.

I fear the same is happening with the MacBook line up when compared against the profits from iOS devices.
Laptop wise, the touch bar is useless and the non touch bar model is castrated.

Worse, I like to use my (2012) mbpro in an open balcony. Judging by all the rumors, you can't do that with a 2015+ model because the first grain of dust that the wind brings in will ruin your keyboard and put you on the hook for a $700 top case replacement. No thanks.

Couple that with no expandable desktop available since 2012...
Wow. There's a linked video of farmers from Kerry, Ireland as well. I can't understand the first one, the second just barely.

> Just because upstream doesn't have it doesn't mean you couldn't compile it yourself

True, but if you are managing production machines, compiling kernels for every errata and security update is pretty low on the list of things you get enthusiastic about. Also a lot of commercial or scientific linux software is only "certified" and supported on stock RHEL kernels.
There needs to be some negative feedback for companies that do this.

The currently shipping keyboard is the one with the most problems. The earlier keyboards weren't that bad once you got used to them -- they didn't choke on a speck of dust.
I think it depends on what you consider a worthy market -- My daughter, 16, doesn't know a single friend who doesn't have a Discord account. Moreover, the 'group chat' in subreddits is, more often than not, powered by Discord.

Of course, those users are probably using it for its free service, and aren't a terribly attractive market on their own, but if they're at all representative, there are a lot of people using Discord, so maybe a low-effort MVP to prove out the market might be worthwhile.
I'm having a deja-vue. 25 years ago Apple was facing a similar decline in product diversity, innovation and novelty. With Steve Jobs gone forever I don't think Apple will survive that one. By a long shot Apple will burn through their cash very fast, with mediocre products and no innovation in the pipeline. And I don't see another innovation genius like Steve Jobs with a determined vision to come around at Apple these days. Good luck with that!
I have happily used Wireshark during my physics PhD to deal with poor vendor software for various equipment. Example: while Montana Instruments (https://www.montanainstruments.com/) now has a python library for interacting with their cryostats (refrigerators), they didn't always have one, and I just couldn't get their dll's to work. Instead, I sniffed the packets that were being sent back and forth between their provided GUI software and the cryostat, and got things working fairly easily in python thereafter.

Good times.
Alternatives probably will decrease ownership at the margins. For example, I know a couple in SF who don't own a car and that wouldn't have been nearly as practical before Zipcar and Uber.

However, it's not like paying a driver $100/day to drive a minibus around to pick people up and drop them off is likely the reason that isn't a widespread service today. So someone would need to explain to me why self-driving changes that equation.
August 15th is the date I am concerned with because that is when the iMac was introduced. That is such an ideal date to release the next upgrade to the iMac line. There have been rumors floating about of a new chassis which would provide separation from the new iMac Pro.

I am still one of those dreamers who would love a headless Mac with some ability to add drives and even swap a video card. however Apple has not even bothered with a new display in ages so I doubt they would have a new headless mac without one.

Apple needs to differentiate it’s lines further. The MacBook can be 2 mm thin and light as a feather for those who value those features. However, the MacBook Pro should be a true pro machine with a great keyboard, great screen, necessary ports, and built like a tank. Thinness obsession has gotten a bit far IMHO.
I'm 2 months into owning mine and still trying to figure out the right combination of cables to plug into everything I used to plug into my 2010. If I hadn't sunk so much money into it at this point I'd be throwing it against the wall.
That only ensures your model is accurate assuming real world parameters remain the same, which again, is prone to overfitting.

To use a real world example, financial models on mortgage backed securities were the root cause of the financial crisis, because they were based on decades of mortgages that were fundamentally different than the ones they were actually trying to model. Even if someone was constructing a model by training on data from say, 1957-1996, and validating using 1997-2006, they would have failed to accurately predict the collapse because the underlying factors that caused the recession (the housing bubble, prevalence of adjustable rate mortgages, lack of verification in applications) were essentially unseen in the decades of data prior to that.

Validation protects against overfitting only to a certain degree, and only to the extent that the underlying data generating phenomena don't ever change, which, in the real world, is generally a terrible assumption.
Going to shamelessly post a Wireshark tutorial I made when I TA'd the networking class at Berkeley. I think it's a pretty good intro to the tool, and feel free to suggest others too.

No, higher speed always results in higher throughput given the same density.

Your complaint is that cars lower density as speed increases, which is true, but you're still looking at this too narrowly. Consider the bus.
Thanks both - zoomed in controls definitely need some work. I changed the controls to a new model after another comment here which I think is better.
Yeah but in this case, this is not a goal, but the goal everyone both inside and outside has been monitoring closely now.

It could be bullshit, it could be a PR stunt... but to what end? We're going to find out the real number on August 1st anyway, when TSLA reports their Q3 data.

Technically, you can build the Darwin kernel from source, since they have it out there, along with some of their other, basic apps.

The rub for me was you needed to compile the kernel on a Mac to start with.

This was all years ago, and a lot could have changed since.
The part that angers me the most is that AI + HR could make employee lives better. Instead, it will be used to (further) reduce the human element of a company to productivity metrics (which will almost certainly be obscure and meaningless).

If productivity is the goal, use a carrot not a stick.

From a business standpoint, it's hard for Apple to justify investing in a product like that contributes a small and diminishing fraction of their revenue.
I think farm/dairy is the example where almost all countries have weird tariffs. Which is of course why they are such popular examples. But they are exceptions.
Many on HN have seen the promise of crypto since 2010-2011.

We mined some, we bought some, we dealt with technological issues, we were ecstatic for a while.

Yet the big crypto promise is to be fulfilled and we are now on 3rd or 4th big hype/decline cycle.

We see the big negatives of various cryptocurrencies(energy usage, affecting various hardware markets, supporting fraud on massive scale, insecurity for normal folks, etc. etc.) but do not see any big positive developments.

Sure, if you are able to be paid in crypto in some country with a lousy banking system that's great but you are in a tiny minority then.

All those tales of normal non-tech people using crypto for every day tasks are closer to fairy tales.

The worst is the tendency for various cryptosolutions to tend back to centralized PRIVATE control. Tether is the worst offender in this regard. The cognitive dissonance is fantastic here.

I have no doubts that there will be another hype cycle attracting new followers with blinders.

For a brief moment in 2013 crypto(Bitcoin especially) actually seemed useful as a currency.

To conclude, maybe in 2023 someone will come up with a killer app for crypto but crypto kitties is not the answer.

The MBP is a dead horse at this point, so I took a look at the current iMacs (I'm used to working on a 27 inch display and 5K tempts me; a standalone high quality display isn't much cheaper than going with an iMac).

All stock models still come with HDDs.

I hope someone finds some Enron-level accounting trickery at Apple and the whole thing comes crashing down fast, and some other company can take the role Apple had from early 2000s to early 2010s.
Needing a dongle "here and there" means that now I need to carry it with me at all times. And that means both USB-A and HDMI dongles. More things I need to worry about to make my 3500EUR machine useful. This is a clear usability regression and the "USB-C" only future doesn't seem to be happening until end of lifetime of this machine.

The keyboard feels bad and my space has started failing. This is also a clear regression with no benefit over previous model.

Touchbar is still useless with pretty much no features over function keys (excluding TouchID on the power button). Pretty much no 3rd party apps use it well and the fact that it can't hold global app shortcuts make it significanly less useful than the previous keys. Another clear regression.

It's not that the new Macs are bad machines, it's that Apple made a few baffling decisions which make the user experience worse over previous models. With pretty much no benefits.
We also couldnt get redistribution rights for chocolatey package because of such license.That is the reason current package downloads from MS instead being embedded to provide stability and network independence.
What can't they just take the old non-touch bar 15 inch MBP chassis, put a decent CPU in that and go to 32 GB using regular DDR4? We'd still have decent enough battery life.
> The most dangerous thing here is that the public is increasingly getting the message and idea that Apple's mac hardware is decomposing.

Not sure "the public" is very aware of any of the stuff going on (or more accurately, not going on) with Macs at Apple.

I don't think the general public reads or hears any Apple news outside of what the main stream media reports. Most of the complaints about the touchbar, keyboard, etc. don't trickle up to the MSM. The MSM is more interested in reporting about iPhone news than Macs.
Recently got my Mac Book Pro nicked by a kid on a moped - mid meeting.

Sadly am not impressed with the touch bar, lack of USB, keyboard failures and the hardware is definitely due an update - or a price drop. There's only so long I'll hold out and wait for an update.

Am currently thinking of getting an iMac - then a chrome book for meetings (so when it get's stolen again it's not too brutal). Anyone else got other recommendations?

That's pretty much what you described
For a bit of SC terminology, there are two separate fast travel modes: "jump drive" for long distance FTL between systems and "quantum drive" for zooming between planets within a system.

We don't know a ton about the final design for system-to-system jumps yet, but the original concept is that you have to actively fly your ship through a somewhat twisty "jump point" wormhole thing and come out the other side. That would be long enough to cover the loading time, but it's all active gameplay instead of loading screens.

It also won't need to load the whole system when you jump in, only the "low poly" versions of planets and moons and whatever large scale spacescaping objects (gas clouds, etc.) are visible from where you come out. The more detailed versions of planets and moons only need to stream in once you pick where you're going within the system spool up your quantum drive to get there.

Lots of people do work really hard on mitigating this problem. It's a tough and constant battle, but that doesn't mean you have to throw your hands up and not bother working on it. I'm sure you're right that my bank isn't working to mitigate insider threat to the extent I'd like, but Tesla's code is more safety critical than my bank and I think it would be worth their while to work very hard on keeping this from happening with their computer-on-wheels.
As someone who has just gone through this, I would say from scratch.

ezjails and some of the others really do seem like the definition of leaky abstractions if you expect a nice layer on top. They're more like handy reusable shell functions.

If you learn from scratch (which again, isn't far removed from those helper packages), you'll have a better understanding for when you get stuck.
More open source projects should have logos. This is great.

I had a similar idea a few months ago but I was coming at it from the opposite direction (demand-side instead of supply-side). It has turned into a repository of existing Node.js project logos instead: https://github.com/davej/nlogo
This stuck out for me as well. Companies who forget the human element of their employees will be racing against bullshit KPIs where the employees are bullshitting their KPIs to gain freedom. Heat sensors under desk? Throw a hand warmer in the chair. Not making enough commits? Time to break down commits even further.

It's a game that won't net any positives, and I can't imagine any place but the bleakest of corporations attempting to implement this type of crap.
The anonymity is extremely over sold with most cryptocurrencies. If the goal is to pay and be paid with them, then the second you pay or get paid you’re trusting the other party to not disclose the user/wallet relationship. The second they do, every thing you’ve ever done with that wallet is visible. I’d expect the current selling of user data to 3rd parties to continue, regardless of payment methodologies.

Even if you strictly “invest” with cryptocurrencies you’re moving money in via fiat, so whomever you do that through also ties you to an address (or omnibus pool while you’re on an exchange).
Hispanic means "of Spain," it refers to the people/cultures that have their roots in the cultural influence/imperialism of Spain.

Latino/Latina means "of Latin America" (actually I think it's an abbreviation of the Spanish or Portuguese translation of "Latin American") and refers to people whose ancestors are from Latin America.

So an American whose ancestors came from Spain would be Hispanic but not Latina and an American whose ancestors came from Brazil would be Latina but not Hispanic. Someone whose ancestors came from Mexico would be both Hispanic and Latina.

Like most broad, potentially emotionally charged, cultural labels many people don't agree with this labeling and/or may self identify differently. Especially those who don't have a strong cultural or linguistical ties to where their ancestors are from.
Over time tariffs will spur increased domestic replacement manufacturing vs Chinese imports.

If the US were primarily harming itself with tariffs, other nations wouldn't be reacting the way they are. They all know the game is up and they're all desperately looking to hold onto their advantages.

US manufacturing costs are nearly on par with China at this point because of the vast inflation in costs that have occurred in China over the last 20 years, including in wages. That's particularly the case when you account for the cost of foreign transport/distribution.

Chinese manufacturing will only get more expensive over the coming decade, increasing US price competitiveness (whereas there was previously a vast gap between the two, eg just as recently as 2005).

It's ideal to begin competing with China using the same tactics they've been using to compete with everyone else for decades. China is no longer a tiny developing economy, they're an economic superpower and still rapidly expanding.

The US should spur domestic manufacturing, by increasing the cost of Chinese products. Over time, the net benefit will be to increase domestic manufacturing and reduce Chinese imports.

Worst case scenario, the US redirects trade to other developing nations, such as Vietnam, and away from China. That's also a dramatic benefit to the US, as Vietnam can never be a superpower rival.

I think the problem (or should I say "the difference") with Discord is that they don't position it for business communications. However, the product is fully capable of doing that.

So there are some teams using Discord for business communications, but it's not the default use-case. You can prove that by looking at Discord bots on the market and feature requests at https://feedback.discordapp.com

If only we heard from someone inside Apple. Maybe there’s strife in the company? Jony Ive dragging his heels on a design? Some middle manager obstructing progress? Supply line issues?
Maybe that's happening because the US isn't competitive enough?
I don't get the hate about the MBP. I have the 13-inch 2017 model without the TB and I absolutely LOVE it. It's such a master piece, I simply love it and use it as my daily driver. I also don't have any problems with my keyboard, I only can tell good things about it. The 2 ports suck, but I never was in need of more, I only use the power adapter and the USB C to HDMI/DP cable that goes in my 4K screen and that's it. Havn't used any regular USB devices for years anyways.

The only thing I hate about it is the super slow CPU, but that's only partly because of Apple.
Thanks! It's really fucked up. Especially that quite a few navies were making sure the trade route is secure, but they haven't bothered to stop or at least somewhat deter these illegal trawlers.
