Gnome is not like OSX. Not even remotely. It has created independent UI paradigms that I believe are far superior.

As a news sub-editor (copy editor) on a regional UK newspaper many years ago, you had your pick of travel trips offered by PR outfits. I went to all sorts of places; all that was needed in return was a travel feature. The best trip was a 10-day, food-and-wine tour of Burgundy.

I don't know how anyone could reasonably conclude Apple's software is vastly superior. Apple has always been and continues to be a hardware-first company; their software always lags behind.

In the past two days I've had to reboot my mac twice because the headhone jack stopped working. At my previous job, the terminal program segfaulted at least once a week. Bluetooth is notoriously flaky and requires frequent reboots to fix. My entire OS locks up about twice a month and requires a full reboot. At one point, my OSX got in a state where whenever I would play a video full-screen it would lock within minutes and require a reboot.

When it comes to pure software quality, windows is hands-down the best platform. I worked in a .NET shop for 3 years and had zero problems with the actual OS. Linux is unfortunately the least stable of the three, but I prefer it and currently use it at work over OSX.
But that's not what happens: proposed alien technology always approximately tracks human technological development.

I'm having trouble finding it at the moment, but somewhere out there is a pretty good article that points out that even though more people are now carrying cameras than ever before, UFO sightings have basically fallen off a cliff. They rose with the advent of jet aircraft and the space age, and then fell away in the era of drones. (The ones that I found in search results weren't the one I was thinking of.)

"Lightsail" is being floated as a possible explanation for this because we've recently imagined that technology. A few decades earlier, and nobody would imagine it as an explanation; a few decades later, and we'll have some other favorite new possible explanation that we can't imagine now.

The article wasn't terrible, though.
But the first thing they'd do even if you didn't jailbreak would be to restore your device and pull a backup from iCloud. If you want to keep your jailbreak, then they can't help you, because who knows if the latest version of iOS included a patch for your problem, a tweak you installed borked the phone, or if Apple borked it?

I think that forcing other subjects on the bus to view your advertisement would be insulting and an eyesore for them, thus being humiliating for you. I don't think a single logo would suffice though, I'm thinking of a very large and obnoxious advertisement, with many brands and logos. Essentially, endless ads that are stitched together. I couldn't imagine this being comparable to a Nike t-shirt.

Not really. This isn't due to the fact that they forgot to send Apple a bill. Both parties have likely been negotiating this since day one, and both parties probably decided even then that it was better to continue doing business together despite this disagreement than cutting off ties. This lawsuit is just the next step in the negotiation process.

There's an assumption in this statement that doesn't survive scrutiny. This is original reporting. What makes you think there's an equivalent alternative? †

† This perception is obviously a huge problem for papers like the L.A. Times (and for writers, in general). For better or worse, this is how people see it, now. If you don't like the source, then you just imagine substituting in another one, like you're buying pork futures (or whatever the opposite of original reporting is).
It's also worth noting that are clear examples of closed-source software that essentially acted like malware. I've not heard of any such examples with IP cores.
I am a medical student, and I have taken the MCAT. It is not just a memorization test. Each section is made up of a series of excerpts from scientific papers and questions that relate to that article. It requires you to synthesize the new information from an article with your knowledge of chemistry, biology, etc. to come to the correct answer. From what I understand, the USMLE exams are similar. It is important to score well on the MCAT because medical schools want student who are able to read scientific papers and apply their findings. Medical schools also look beyond just MCAT score and grades when selecting students.

I like to travel but hate overcrowded touristy places. There are some popular spots where the overcrowding actually seems to be a part of the experience (Time Square for instance) but I will probably never go see the Mona Lisa or Sistine Chapel because it's filled to the brim.

When I travel I have some pretty simple heuristics, if we're staying at a resort I prefer a smaller luxury resort, ideally w/o kids, and I like to go in the off season, which so far has meant Sept-Oct or March-April, depending on the climate of the location.

There are lots of smaller towns and cities near the big tourists hubs that have a lot of charm. When I visited Italy I went to Positano, a small town on the Almafi coast about an hour from Naples. The city was great and I was able to visit the island of Capri and check out Pompeii all while being stationed in a small, beautiful town. There were tourists but it did not feel overcrowded.
Lightning is awful. It looks nice, but that’s because all the fiddly bits that are prone to failure are hidden in the port. Ever had your iPhone’s Lightning port fail? It’s not particularly rare, and Apple can’t fix it without replacing the whole phone.

USB-C puts the parts that wear out quickly in the cable where they belong.
Again, decent controllers have ECC protection and the like, and frequently are available in HA configurations if your worry is controller failure (along with redundant/dual data paths to the media via SAS/NVMe/etc). Plus, there are a long list of technologies that can be enabled at the HBA layer and pushed all the way to the media (T10 DIF/DIX comes to mind).

But much of this micro level redundancy is overkill as frequently one uses some kind of application level HA/redundancy as well. So, loss of a RAID5/6 disk in a single machine is the functional equivalent of loss of a any combination of RAID 0/1 in the same machine. You still need the higher level redundancy as well as a backup plan.

We could start breaking the discussion up into fabric attached vs direct attach RAID vs Software, but I think its sufficient to say, that RAID5/6 doesn't _increase_ the failure surface in any meaningful way when your not using fly-by-night RAID.

Edit: Maybe what your trying to say is that cache flush/FUA operations for a give piece of data don't cover the parity calculation and buffers? That is false, a controller should not be responding to FUA/etc until the entire (including the parity) block has been persisted. So if the controller dies during the operation the host OS is fully aware that the operation didn't complete. The given block is of course left in some unknown state in this case, but that is true of any write operation that fails like this, regardless of WT/WB/RAID/etc.

> They have a monopoly on a dying service

Neither the access nor the bundled content portions are really dying. The assumption they must be bought from the same vendor is, but outside of very high speed plans, internet access tends to have data caps (sometimes capped unless you buy a TV bundle from the ISP as well as internet service), and OTT services with comparable content are just as expensive as cable plans (and mostly from cable/satellite vendors, though Google and Sony have services too), so you end up spending the same money plus eating your data cap if you buy separately instead of getting the content outside of your cap (or maybe even getting the content and getting rid of your cap at the same time.)
You don't need extremely high density, and you can still grill on your own balcony (or little terasse).

I used Lua's C API a couple of years ago to write some lightweight JNI code to use Torch from Java. The API documentation was so clear that it was relatively easy to write. Since the API is stack-based the project ended up being a good learning experience. The only thing that was a little annoying was needing a few if/else statements to return the desired type.
It's not wrong, and you've reinforced his point. It's not about "going on a vacation" it's specifically "going on a vacation to <place X>". Something will always be a limiting factor for why you can't have everyone go to a singular place.

Are there other perfectly nice places that you, guy who is in some way limited in your ability/means, could go to instead of the moon? Of course there are. But the moon is off limits to you because you don't have the money to charter the mission there, or the authorization of your government.
Paging Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, et al: the next time one of these objects appears, we should try to capture it somehow, or at least divert its trajectory enough that it stays in the solar system and we can study it further.

Why none of the top comments on a site called Hacker News are about the fact that this is far from anything that could be used for software development surprises me. Only feasible way to use this for dev would be using a cloud IDE, since I have no access to the OS or ability to install dependencies.

I love the idea of the iPad becoming something that could replace a laptop, but for me I wait for the day when I can at the very least have sandbox access to the filesystem, and OS kernel to be able to set it up for local development.

Why Apple continues to refuse support for BSD Jails or the sort confuses me.

Stability and being able to find developer who will maintain the project 5 years from now are still very pragmatical arguments though. Again, I love Rust but I still don't feel comfortable pushing it for critical components at work because who knows where it'll be 5 years from now? Is it here to stay? If I leave my job will they find people to take over?

Furthermore even brand new projects will have to interface with existing code to some extent. C bindings are everywhere, Rust not always. And even when they exist they're not always complete and are often quite experimental.

Still, I'm doing my part and I did write a few smaller components of my current project in Rust at work. But it's not surprising that the shift is not happening overnight.
Ugh, I hate the way Dell lies! That's obviously not a metaphor.

Also, whenever journalists and commentators write about Dell screens as being edge to edge, years before Apple, they're not lies, they're metaphors.

It only becomes a literal statement that is obviously a lie, when Apple uses it.

/s

To everyone downvoting me above, you can disagree with the idea 'edge to edge' it's a proper metaphor to use for an iPad display with a 9mm bezel. I agree with you in full. You'd want something like 2-3mm bezels for that, at most.

But to say it's not a metaphor is silly. It would mean that you think Apple, journalists and consumers, all or some of them, consider the edge-to-edge marketing statement to be a literal one, that must be taken literally, and is obviously a lie, rather than a statement which must be taken metaphorically.

If you go to the CEO of Apple right now and ask him in an interview, do you mean literally edge to edge, or metaphorically, what do you think the answer would be? (apart from dodging the question)

After that you could tell him it's a crappy metaphor to use. But telling him he's lying because Apple means it literally is just silly.
Yes. I'm reminded of a friend who agreed that going vegetarian was a great idea. So he vowed to start a club to convince others to go vegetarian, but wouldn't himself.

Is a USB-C enclosure actually faster than USB 3.1 was with the old conenctors? As far as I know you can use all the same devices and just swap out the cable on a computer that wants a USB-C connector.

On the device end (for hard drives and hubs) you'd generally have a type-B connector (don't think I've ever seen one with USB-A, but I haven't had that many external drives). Type-B got got a bulkier version for superspeed, it looks silly but for something that lives at your desk, who cares?

https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+3+type+b&tbm=isch

If you get a new computer with USB-C, you can replace a single cable with USB-C to USB-B to keep using the same hub and the same USB-A devices plugged into it at the same speed as before:

I grew up in a (tourism) town that did this. They had moderate property taxes (moderate property taxes on many multi-million dollar properties = huge windfall). The town squanders it all. The cops have every toy they want, the classrooms are full of overpriced hardware. I guess that's nice. The results delivered by the schools and cops are nothing special (relative to the rest of the state) though.

I shit you not (believe me, I wish I were), the town is looking into running it's own pet cemetery. If that isn't boondoggle waste I don't know what is.

Locals still pay high vehicle excise taxes, town dump fees are sky high (the rust belt city I now live in takes my trash away every week for less $$), there's a big fee for a (local resident) beach parking lot pass, etc, etc so it's not like the town is using it's windfall to ease the burden on everyone else.

I think expecting a suddenly cash flush government to fairly distribute it is a recipe for disappointment. I would be very wary of the "profit centers" (e.g. hospitality industry) achieving something akin to regulatory capture whereby they get whatever they want because they're the money makers for the town.

I'd love for municipalities to be able to make money hand over fist using tourism and then use that money to provide for their citizens (like Norway does with oil money) but I have near zero confidence that can happen without being corrupted by special interests and the well connected.

The function bit has always confused me. I tend to write code with lots of functions/modules/classes for handling various aspects of the analysis and I just don't understand how that's supposed to be integrated.

I'd be happy to jump on the notebook bandwagon but I'm having trouble seeing how I could adapt my code to the notebook style.

I do the same, it's great! The cable companies are mandated by the fcc to supply subscribers with at least one cablecard free of charge so you can use your own equipment, like a TiVo. I have a HDHomeRun Prime and use 2 cards. The rental on the 2nd card is only $1.50/month, and I get 8 streams with it. I also bought a cablemodem for like $50. Other than the $1.50 cablecard rental, I don't rent anything from them except the service itself. Saves a boatload over years.
Don't worry the AI will be very realistic; it will be better than interacting with locals.
