BASIC was my first love. I was 10 when I got my first computer, a Tandy TRS80. It came with an instruction manual with example BASIC programs and I could save my programs with an external tape deck. Something awoke in me and from then on, I onew my calling. I still remember the first command instruction: SOUND 39,20
This doesn’t get mentioned much but they wrecked the physical media keys because of the touchbar. You can no longer control iTunes globally, the media keys only work with the focused app because that’s what the touch bar does.

So if a web page is playing a muted ad with sound your media keys wont do anything if you try to pause iTunes.

As someone who's coded everything from web front ends to embedded systems with no OS and manual memory partitioning, via mainframes, network management tools and all sorts of other things, I'd say the benefit is pretty high!

Someone needs to know how it all works, someone needs to build the kernels, the low-level libraries, the compilers, network protocols server programs etc etc.

You can certainly have a great career without them, I wouldn't dispute that.

True, but I think a lot of people feel the problem is that Apple has neglected the "Pro" aspect of the "MacBook Pro". The new pro's don't feel like a machine made for professionals; it's tailored for the average casual user. E.g. professional software developers don't need a damn touchbar.

Having worked in publishing, their effort and the NYT (particularly Bostock) to open up the code to the community is notable and admirable. I’ve tried to push for open source projects at similar business scales to no avail. Deaf ears.

It’s a shame that it’s viewed largely as a means to an end. Yet the very same companies used to work with printers to produce innovations. Digital media seems to be viewed much more as a commodity to many in the industry, unfortunately—in spite of it being the most effective and paradigm-shifting medium for mass communication since the television, radio, or platen press.
Shouldn't we ask why this is only about boards and not employees, and why state and governments that issue laws like this don't lead by example and mandate gender diversity on themselves.

Why is the scope so narrow defined as to exclude any criticism on how state and government operate as the largest group of organizations with paid employees. Seems very convenient from the position of power that government and states enjoy.

I don’t know about the catalogue, but assuming the meteorite is the usual rocky, iron-nickel composition then it wouldn’t have melted, given that a structure fire tends to top out several hundred degrees below the required temperature. Given that a meteorite has to survive the heat of reentry and impact, it seems unlikely to be fragile or have moisture that would cause fractures either. It would be contaminated and dirty, but not destroyed.

This would work, but could only be implemented for longer than a political mandate if all politicians agreed it were a good thing. Today we have politicians that run their campaign promising to cut taxes on gas, and it works, because the average person doesn't care about long term effect on the environment. There are good reasons for this:

- super rich people have super large footprint (extremely large houses, gas guzler vehicles, private jets, etc.... Since humans are humans, they try to imitate people from the top.

- the whole SUV thing (restriction on gas consumption -> people buying trucks with sit in them -> manufacturers started to charge premium for those -> manufacturers made insane profit from those (under 1% profit on a car, up to 50% profit on large SUV) -> manufacturer using ridiculously inefficient vehicles in all their product placement and increase product placements -> people started to buy those exclusively to the point that one manufacturer completely stopped selling car)

- Industries typically pollute a lot than individual, and get away with ridiculously low fines when they do get caught.
I agree. CMake's scripting language has a lot of the same pain-points as Bash. For example, the lack of a clear distinction between lists and strings.

I've sometimes wondered if CMake would benefit from getting an additional / replacement scripting language. While retaining the same underlying object model and other code, that is.

My only fear would be that it would be a first step in morphing into Bazel, which I find unbearably complicated.
But aren't you as well? You're saying that him being punished now is fair since he said Barr should be fired or expressed joy at Barr getting fired.

But if he was already punished, then he's being punished twice. And that wouldn't be fair. Unless you believe people should be punished continuously in perpetuity for their mistakes.

Saying ABC would have done nothing is speculative at best.

You're just looking for a way to say "Ha ha, tu quoque" by expressing this "concern" over "mob justice".

Not to mention, Disney fired Gunn when the overwhelming opinion is that he shouldn't have been fired. So it also isn't even "mob justice".

> I think it's funny that now when Apple happened to make a truly awful keyboard, basically everyone is raging. But PC makers has been building terrible keyboards for years and no one seems to give a damn

No, that's not a fair comparison.

PC makers have made cheap or low-quality keyboards for years. But they've always been mostly functional, even if they didn't feel great. And if it had failed it's been easy (or at least possible) to replace. I've replaced keyboard keys and/or whole keyboards on laptops like the Lenovo Yoga and Dell Inspiron, for instance. It's a delicate process, but can be done with just a few screws or clips, at below $100 USD prices.

Apple made a defective unusable keyboard that intentionally can not be repaired and costs multiple hundreds of dollars to fix. That's a big, unique escalation of worst-case keyboard problems, hence the outrage.

I'm not aware of any major PC manufacturer shipping a keyboard that broken and that expensive in their flagship devices in decades. No laptop keyboard from Dell, HP, Asus, Acer, Toshiba, Microsoft, etc in the past 10 years was ever as bad as the keyboard Apple shipped all last year.

The closest thing I can think of is something like the Lenovo Yoga Book, but even that is a prototype device not replacing real Yoga lines (so real, reliable keyboards were still always available), and even that Yoga Book all-touchscreen keyboard is still more reliable than the previous MacBooks physical keyboard.
Meh. I've had everything from super-clicky mechanical KBs (RapidFire or something kike that) to the flat butterfly keys on the MacBook. Like learning to drive or
play guitar, it becomes muscle memory after a while. I've gotten used almost everything at this point in my life. However what I will NOT accept is a virtual keyboard. I need at least some kind of tactile feedback.
You're saying bullion (exchangeable for the spot price at any pawn shop), or US dollars or Euros, are materially less liquid than the local currency? There are many countries where the vendors prefer USD to the local currency.

And the only reason the local currency is so liquid is because there is one. If you got rid of it, people would start using something else and it would have the same liquidity because then it's the thing that people accept.

> Do you look at specific data points to understand if the asset is overvalued or a scam?

Well yes. What you do is calculate the expectation of the future cashflows and PV them.

If there aren't any future cashflows then the fair price is zero and anything else is overvalued. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it but you should treat it like any other form of gambling.

If the asset creator won't release any quantifiable information about the future cashflows then the correct response is to assume it's a scam until they do.

That leaves the cases where there are quantifiable cashflows. Some smart contracts fall in this category. What you do then is analyse said cashflows and decide whether the price is justified.

From a UI point a name is a way for humans to identify a thing. So a username is just a way to identify a user, if multiple users have the same username you cant identify which one.

Starcraft allows people to have the same username, tell your mate your username and ask him to add you, he wont be able to. You need to go through settings and find your unique user pin which you cant remember, then give that too your mate, they need both.

Use email and a screen name, your mate already knows your username and can add you, you can call yourself whatever you want.
> By spreading collections around into N locations, you would have, on average, N times more fires like this one, but fire would be engulfing a smaller collection at a time (1/N)

If the likelihood of a fire starting in a non-residential building is roughly proportional to the square footage of the building, then you'd have roughly the same total number of fires across all buildings but 1/N of the collection destroyed each time.

HappyAlbatross is right: you definitely have a grounding problem, either due to missing proper ground or having a ground loop somewhere. Also if you're using a switching power supply and/or a class D amplifier (that is, a switching amplifier [1]), they can be real nightmares if not properly filtered, and cheaper ones almost never are.
Grounding and ground loops, filtering and decoupling are complex issues which would need entire articles, but there's a lot of stuff on the net to get you started.
Long story short: don't throw away your board, the problem could disappear just by changing a power supply or rewiring ground connections.

[1] They use the same identical principle behind switching power supplies but applied to driving speakers: performance is fantastic compared to current draw, but they tend to produce lots of harmonics and RF noise just like switching power supplies.
It's not about the newspaper quality, it's about signaling that the speaker is not a card-carrying supporter of the political faction the newspaper is traditionally associated with. So for the Guardian it translates to "please don't assume I'm a Labour/Green supporter just because I read the Guardian".

With the Telegraph it would be Tories/UKIP; and with The Independent (or whatever it's called now) it would be Russian Oligarchs Living In London.
A great koan, thank you.

There's also a related, from-the-trenches, story:

It is a very humbling experience to make a multimillion-dollar mistake, but
it is also very memorable. I vividly recall the night we decided how to
organize the actual writing of external specifications for OS/360. The
manager of architecture, the manager of control program implementation, and
I were threshing out the plan, schedule, and division of responsibilities.

The architecture manager had 10 good men. He asserted that they
could write the specifications and do it right. It would take ten months,
three more than the schedule allowed.

The control program manager had 150 men. He asserted that they
could prepare the specifications, with the architecture team coordinating;
it would be well-done and practical, and he could do it on schedule.
Futhermore, if the architecture team did it, his 150 men would sit twiddling
their thumbs for ten months.

To this the architecture manager responded that if I gave the control
program team the responsibility, the result would not in fact be on time,
but would also be three months late, and of much lower quality. I did, and
it was. He was right on both counts. Moreover, the lack of conceptual
integrity made the system far more costly to build and change, and I would
estimate that it added a year to debugging time.

Well, admitedly, I don't use all that knowledge at all times. Like many around, I'm super satisfied by being able to write a very complex SQL query knowing that : I won't be constrained by memory, I don't have to think about why the transaction will work, why my connection to the DB will work, how the SQL engine will optimize the damn thing. I just have to contemplate something that it almost business code and produces almost business results.

It's just that I have that warm, reassuring feeeling that if I have to dig down, I'll be able to. Too bad I almost never have to; abstraction works way too good :-)

I'm sure one can be a very good programmer not knowing the assembly stuff behind. And even myself, I don't know exatcly how a CPU works (I mean, I get the logic of it, but I wouldn't be able to make one from scratch) :-)
The Guardian is commercial journalism. It is set up as a completely ordinary company. Historically the newspaper has been keenly interested in the concerns of the working classes, but that has not extended towards some kind of alternative non-commercial structure for it.

One of my problems with "modern" CMake is the same as my problem with "modern" C++:

Their proponents argue for using certain new language features to get things done. But because of backwards-compatibility concerns, the system still supports the old, quasi-deprecated constructs for doing those same things.

And so you end up with an overly complicated language that seems to have multiple, reasonable ways to do the same thing. And codebases containing a mix of the two, even for newly written code.

IMO it would be better for CMake to make a clean break, and have CMake 4 only support "modern" CMake.

(edit: And, as I've posted elsewhere, switch to a more robust scripting language.)
