You’re just listing things that have been described as product failures since Jobs died. Sure. But anyone can also make such a list from when Jobs was CEO.
If there is going to be an Apple Arm laptop, it would likely run an iOS derivative and would need both keyboard and mouse awareness.

Would Marzipan make it easier to go in the other direction, e.g. run iOS apps in tiled windows on an iOS laptop, alongside "CLI/terminal" windows?
Practical applications of physics rarely tend to win Nobels, and only after substantial delay. CCDs were invented in 1969 and were being mass produced in consumer electronics in the 90s but the Nobel was only awarded in 2009 (the same year Kao won his). Blue LEDs weren't recognized until 2014. Kirby got a Nobel for the integrated circuit (invented in the late 50s) in 2000!

A slightly more cynical person would say that the Nobel committee is not really interested in awarding prizes for this sort of work.
I actually think that positioning an anonymous function at the site where it’s used is extremely unreadable and unintuitive. I work in Scala and Haskell a lot so I see it all the time and I’m usually forced to write code that way to stick to local conventions, and I despise it.

It makes no sense at all to break up the wonderful conceptual flow of functional components like map, fmap, filters, folds, monadic operations, with sudden harsh definition of a function that takes your brain out of the context of what was flowing and into the context of what is the function.

I want to see something like

val someStat = myData.groupBy(thingExtractor)
.foldLeft(baselineValue)(statAccumulator)

I want the mental task of grokking thingExtractor, baselineValue or statAccumulator to be a wholly separate task from seeing what flows into the calculation of someStat. I want to look elsewhere in the code for those things, kind of like expanding or collapsing a block of text: keep it out of mind when it doesn’t matter.

Another example of this is how frequently ENTs will combine septoplasty to fix a deviated septum with turbinectomy. This has resulted in a lot of people suffering from Empty Nose Syndrome which is so distressing that some kill themselves over it [1]. My wife recently consulted with an ENT, and he said that he rarely does turbinectomies, since enlarged turbinates are often just a result of a deviated septum and will revert to a normal size months or years after septoplasty alone. He said with some dismay that lots of other ENTs haven’t changed their approach.

Agreed that it’s pedagogically useful to think of Typescript as a light(ish) extension, hence literture on pure JavaScript will still repay study. But, overall it's best to treat TS as its own language, especially when it comes to developing libraries. This situation isn't dissimilar to Objective-C/Cocoa where the language is a strict superset of C (as in the case of TS and JS), but the real leverage came from framework.

This is awesome. I just hacked together a makeshift version of this using a couple watch’s while debugging a deployment issue today. Always so interesting to me when someone takes a step back from a problem and comes up with a great solution to it. Kudos.
Very interesting.

I sure hope that when they go live that don't force people to use Cloudflare's nameservers.

As I've mentioned before I use Uniregistry and I'm quite happy with them, but at the end of the day, how do you trust your domain register when uncertain things that often have no written policy happen (someone impersonating you to hijack your domains, someone filing bogus abuse/UDRP notices to get your personal information despite using a WHOIS privacy service, etc.)

I'd be curious what other users think of the second part.
Almost every time we have a BBQ or other outside event someone buzzes a drone overhead and just sits there watching us. Almost every time I go out hiking I hear the high pitched whine of a drone flying around the country park. It seems no matter where I go there is someone flying one. They are a total nuisance, create tons of noise pollution in areas that are usually quite tranquil, invade privacy and just annoy me all around to be honest.
I hope they don't ruin the dev experience. I love my Macbook Pro.

I'm still in line myself, but any idea if transferring a .bot TLD is possible? Right now amazon seems to only allow Encirca to be the registrar for those domains since it's not technically in any kind of open access right now.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
If I've got my developer hat on, yeah, sort of. I still find the case differences more pronounced without necessarily forcing me into a more in-my-face code formatting theme. Also, for all the reason A code format is important, the fact that I have 20 years experience with up-to-now SQL norms mean that I'm trained to look for certain things and can, almost without thinking, focus in on those with the help of historical formatting. Arbitrary changes to that history mean that now I have to discard that muscle memory and learn new ways of looking at things... I'm not sure the gain of a few less caps locks keystrokes merits forcing that learning curve. Sure the kids won't care about that because there's nothing to lose, but some of us old timers lose the benefit of our experience.

But developers with good tooling to deal with more static views of the code aren't the only readers of SQL, and perhaps not the most common.

With my DBA hat on, trying to figure out what's going on reading through logs and such, I don't always have that kind of tooling available. In this context the casing can help as well.... and this may form some of my bias; my first professional experiences on the application side of the world were in very much DBA roles dealing with other people's applications running on my servers. Insofar as access tools preserve developer formatting, having good "color-blind" formats made reading complex queries easier.
ChromeOS's support for Android apps almost feels similarly alien, except that everything in ChromeOS is already a webapp so it's not too jarring.
> If they are scraping this from my emails without my permission, what else are they scraping?

YOU GAVE THEM YOUR PERMISSION.

Maybe, in the future, read the TOS and Privacy Policies rather than just pressing accept and acting offended when they do EXACTLY what they said they'd do.

Had you done that, you'd also know exactly who has access to that information and, if you read when they notify you of policy updates, who will have access in the future.

Why is this so hard to understand for people? Gmail is not free, you are paying with the information gleaned from it. If you aren't ok with that, start shelling out money.
No, but you are reacting a very late.
Sooooo easily ignorable.
being a good CEO at the beginning isn't the same as being good CEO farther down the line. That's what most people are saying on this topic. It's possible that elon is great at starting companies, but maybe not "finishing" them.
If Musk never happened rockets would still be expendable, the US would still lack a Shuttle replacement, and EVs would be rare or nonexistent. We would still be talking about how personal mobility is doomed when oil is depleted, if not all of modern civilization.

Prove me wrong. Who else was doing this stuff before SpaceX and Tesla? On space launch you had nothing serious except the SLS which is 70s tech. On EVs you had a few boutique and niche vehicles but nothing pushing to break into any mass market. I doubt conventional car companies would ever have done it without a law to force them or monster incentives since most of that industry is full of ICE heads who hate EVs. They are now, but that's because of Tesla. I'm worried that if Tesla fails all these other EV projects will be scaled back since the ICE and oil crowd will leap on it to push an EVs have failed narrative.

Elon seems to have fucked up with this one, but I dont think it diminishes what he has accomplished.

Normally the only way to smash a mediocre Nash equilibrium is with the power of government-- either big government spending or legislation (regulation, anti trust, etc). It's normally the only hammer big enough. I have a lot of respect for anyone in the private sector who is able to pull it off. Musk and the teams he assembled broke two. That's just insane. Hell maybe it is literally insane. Maybe he's nuts.
Read the spec sheet...

6 channels per socket (2 controllers with 3 lanes each), 8 sockets, and 64 GB LR DIMMs.

128 DIMMs are $2-3k a pop.

192 sockets, 8 way, up to 24TB of ram w 128GB or 12TB with 64GB sticks:

https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B...

If someone wants to throw more money on RAM to be slightly faster, that's a solution design-decision; it's doubtful Amazon would do that. If they are, great.
It’s not just online purchases either. Any merchant sending an emailed receipt is also scooped up.
"without my permission"?
I'd be shocked if this wasn't in the EULA you've agreed to for the service.
What cards are those? I've made purchases significantly larger than $2K on several different Visa and American Express cards with no phone call necessary.

If they’re not doing this for advertising alone, why can I only see my personal purchases and not company ones for G Suite logins? As a small business owner this kind of data would be a fantastic API resource and a significant value-add from Gmail... I suppose I could use the purchases label, but... it’s interesting they don’t aggregate and display it the same way... thus leading me to conclude that this page is purely to share data used for advertising purposes only, and G Suite accounts don’t have Gmail ads...
A very good feature of gmail’s extensive “email intelligence” that grew out of Inbox. How did you think the Purchases label worked? How did you think Google Now alerts you on your mobile when your packages are delivered?

If this surprises you you’re going to be flabbergasted by how the Trips label works.

Oh yeah also Gmail and Now work together to bring you those reminders to pay your bills.
What do you mean by respect? Your privacy?

Move to Fastmail if that's what your after. You are using a free service, because you are the product. That's not about respect, it's about your (lack) of understanding of the business relationship you entered. If you aren't comfortable with that, you're going to have to pay actual money.
I've always assumed they do this since they've recognized and surfaced flight and event information for years.

I thought about switching my email to iCloud but I'm afraid Apple's going to change the domain yet again. And gmail is hella reliable.

Google of old might have done something cool with this info and annotated the purchases with something like "14,391 people bought this for an average of $1.08 less" or "you pay $7.44 per month more than the average Comcast customer in your area" etc.

It's definitely billions (about $10 billion short interest as of mid-September-[0], not including options contracts). I'm very much a small-time investor and I'm personally short well over a million dollars of $TSLA.

>>A good friend of mine who is a mechanical engineer despises Musk.

A lot of people despise Musk.

Its because the society in general hates these kind of successful non-conformist. No one likes to see a hugely successful anti-pattern to their whole life.
I kind of like this.

It's already in my email, which they host. I don't see why I should not want this feature, where they aggregate helpful information for me.
There are at least two aspects of this:

1) SQL is not entirely faithful to the underlying logical principles of the relational model. Chris Date's "Database in Depth: Relational Theory for Practitioners"[0] or "SQL and Relational Theory: How to Write Accurate SQL Code"[1] are good texts that go into this in detail. There's plenty of stuff online if you search for it. For a very brief example of criticisms, you can take a look at Wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL#Criticisms).

[0]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/573821.Database_in_Depth

[1]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6219481-sql-and-relation...

2) Most SQL systems provide a 1-to-1 mapping of tables to underlying storage structure which places limits on performance, while relations are logical and independent of the implementation. Other than indexing strategies, there hasn't been a lot of work in production systems to truly abstract storage from logical representation. They've been kind of stuck in their thinking. This second point isn't as important as the first, however, and more off-topic with respect to your question.
Thanks for making yourself available!

I was curious what your thoughts are on a JS-based functional CSS library? I noticed that you mentioned emotion on the docs, and that was also what I thought would be the perfect tool for the job

Imagine a set of functions like `textColor()` or `margin()` that return composeable objects that you'd stick onto css props, and just like tailwinds would throw errors or lint warnings if you didn't pass in values it was configured to allow? (E.g., colors.red, okay, colors.maroon, error? Or maybe colors('red') okay)

I figured it'd more elegantly solve the problem of generating stylesheets that are too large and then needs to be pruned off

One trade-off I see is that the utilities would need to be imported to each file that needs it (as opposed to strings you can put anywhere), but the the good thing about that is you could more easily click into the definitions that way, and you could namespace utilities under a variable so you'd only need to import one thing

I would guess you'd put more thought on this topic than I have, very curious to hear what you think

Cellular phone networks are heavily regulated for reasons completely unrelated to their potential use as remote detonators.

You can buy 2 way radios with zero purchase restrictions that will also work for the same purpose.
It's also likely that Google buys a copy of your credit card purchase history.

>Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

Finding that tidbit out was my own personal bridge too far.
What good paid alternatives are there?
To counter on the point of "Google of old might have done something cool with this info"

This is very, VERY subjective. Even if Google did something like "you pay $7.44 per month more than the average Comcast customer in your area" there will be very similar posts detailing how 'Google reads your monthly payment data'.
This is https://schema.org/ data.
I'm quite doubtful this suit will succeed. To succeed the SEC would need to prove intent to disrupt the market. You can certainly show that he had a reason to attack short sellers, but he also has a long history of communicating in exactly that manner. He probably also has plenty of evidence of meetings that justify the statement. If that assumption is correct, given his historical use of this medium of communication, I can't see how you prove intent.
ProtonMail (free/paid) and Runbox (paid only, but reasonable) are a couple of other options.

There's also the option of running your own server, but it seems deliverability is an issue.

If you took a regular car company CEO, Tesla would be building hybrids and selling through dealerships and charging for map updates and providing atrocious media software and generally not doing any of the things that makes them interesting.
I think the line between "r/c toy" and "drone" is long range plus camera feed enabling the pilot to fly it out of visual line of sight. Adding any kind of autonomous flight (GPS waypoints or whatnot) definitely puts it over that line. A toy quad isn't a "drone" and shouldn't be treated like one.
You Gave Facebook Your Number for Security. They Used It for Ads
Apparently we're late to migrate, but I recently started the move to RainLoop:

https://www.rainloop.net/ is actually much better software in my opinion, and is self-hosted unlike FastMail.

Rainloop satisfies the need for polished, smooth, elegant, yet simple "feeling" interfaces like Gmail finally became.

Handles multiple identities, multiple accounts, and contacts well; but no calendar.

Way better than Zimbra webmail, though that does have Calendars. On my local machine, I still use RainLoop rather than a traditional email client, it's that good.

ProtonMail, also mentioned, doesn't seem far off, but seems to lack the extra polish. It's in the neighborhood of RainLoop though, it would appear.

When I first read this was I was troubled, and I am certainly a Google critic, but it seems to specifically say this is for your usage only. It's not being used for their ad network or for them to see behavior. It's used in the same manner as tracking packages, etc. If or when they start using this for their own internal usage to see use purchasing behavior, and telling adwords customers what purchase/products were popular so they could convert, that's when I'd have a major problem with this. As it stands now, I don't see it as a major problem.

No assumption needed, it's right in the terms of use. I'm surprised to see how surprised people are about this. The fact that they scrape email, for targeted ads and features has been known since 2004.

I believe it, but it's kind of stupid that GS or JPM "analysts" can "downgrade" a stock and move it by 4%, and this happens literally every day, but some guy who is going to put humans on Mars and fly them around the moon is going to get shit for a tweet that was obviously a joke to anyone who isn't a total moron.
And yet, in this case, it's probably enough for Google to disclose that they have your email, since the rest is data gathered from that which you don't really need to disclose under GDPR
MISTER PROSSER: But Mister Dent the plans have been available in the planning office for the last nine months!

ARTHUR DENT: Yes! I went round to find them yesterday afternoon. You’d hadn’t
exactly gone out of your way to pull much attention to them have you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.

MISTER PROSSER: The plans were on display.

ARTHUR DENT: Ah! And how many members of the public are in the habit of casually dropping around the local planning office of an evening?

MISTER PROSSER: Er – ah!

ARTHUR DENT: It’s not exactly a noted social venue is it? And even if you had popped in on the off chance that some raving bureaucrat wanted to knock your house down, the plans weren’t immediately obvious to the eye were they?

MISTER PROSSER: That depends where you were looking.

ARTHUR DENT: I eventually had to go down to the cellar!

MISTER PROSSER: That’s the display department.

ARTHUR DENT: With a torch!
