This is the new Apple RAM surcharge — remember back when Apple let you swap out DIMMs, they would charge 3-5x market rate betting you wouldn’t. Now they’re doing it on SSDs but you can’t get away :) If you follow the r/buildapcsales it’s pretty eats to get a 1TB 2.5” SSD from a top manufacturer for under $120, and M.2 for $20-30 more. I just got a Crucial MX500 1TB for $114 all in.
> The gotcha is if you have an ISP supplied router which has no DHCP interface at all: no way to disable it, no way to customize DNS.

The way I get around this is by putting all of my devices behind another router, and treating the ISP router as if it is part of an external network. It introduces a second layer of NAT (ISP router gives my router a 192.168.0.x address, which it treats as its WAN IP; devices get a 192.168.1.x address), but in practice it's caused me no problems. I've been running a similar setup for close to a decade now.

But you can use reason to work out that if people with different subjective values use perfect reason to choose their political opinions they will often end up disagreeing.

So it isn't true for anyone (in this universe, anyway).
See I believe even people who (like me) have a scientific or rational worldview are biased by their existing pre-conceived premises. You have to start from some perspective. So effectively this idea that your worldview is totally evidence-based just acts as a blanket and automatic (non-rational) reinforcement for you existing views.
Sometimes, you'll end up in a situation where the money does not matter and that work may not teach you something - and it may solely make money for the company.

https://opensource.org/faq

Can I call my program "Open Source" even if I don't use an approved license?

Please don't do that. If you call it "Open Source" without using an approved license, you will confuse people. This is not merely a theoretical concern — we have seen this confusion happen in the past, and it's part of the reason we have a formal license approval process. See also our page on license proliferation for why this is a problem.

Is <SOME LICENSE> an Open Source license, even if it is not listed on your web site?

In general, no. We run all licenses through an approval process to provide an accepted standard on which licenses are Open Source, and we list the approved ones. Be dubious of claimed Open Source-ness for licenses that haven't gone through the process. See also the license proliferation page for why this matters so much.

In many ways, quite harrowing, and makes me wonder what kinds of stories we'll be looking back on in a new light in the coming decades. What I'd love to know is whether the jury truly thought they were acting in good faith or not. When you realize just how absolutely deluded humans can be, it makes you wonder how deluded you are... and if you can ever truly overcome it.

Thank you! This is the argument that made me give TypeScript a try. I work in Kotlin day to day which tries to fix its base language (and batteries included with it) while not fixing it too much. TS sounded like a language in that vein.

The feature in my mind was an easy way to temp silence an app without going into settings.

I still think of it as user error if they force quit an app but still expect it to run in the background. Why force quit it?

I could see how it could be a UX failure for the OS but I don't think we can blame the dev for that. Apple should clarify what force quit does. I think the advent of webapps that don't really exist on your phone at all also causes confusion: the app has been updated with more content each time you use it, even if it's not running in the background, but to the user that's indistinguishable from the app running in the background.
You've completely misunderstood the law here, unfortunately, and argued something that that goes in the opposite direction of this ruling.

The law is actually that physical features/etc can be compelled because they are not testimonial.

“[i]t is compulsion of the accused to exhibit his physical characteristics, not compulsion to disclose any knowledge he might have.”

United States v. Wade

"“the task that Diamond was compelled to perform—to provide his fingerprint—is no more testimonial than furnishing a blood sample, providing handwriting or voice exemplars, standing in a lineup, or wearing particular clothing.”"

State v. Diamond (This is a state case but applying the federal constitution).

Note also that fingerprints are almost always taken at booking, etc. They just aren't transferable in a way that lets the police use them to unlock the phone.

Passcodes, on the other hand are often testimonial. Entering the combination to a safe proves you probably had ownership/control of the safe, for example.

In those situations, generally the government has to be able to prove that you own it.
If they can, you will be forced to open the safe.

In the case of phones, the only interesting intermediate cases are phones where ownership can't be proven easily by other evidence.

(Note:I don't necessarily agree with these doctrines, but that is the current law)

I fear I'll be barbecued for asking, but I must: What's the alternative? I am a privacy advocate and understand that the law can (and likely will) abuse a forced decryption law.

However, the story you linked is about a _police officer_ who was suspected of child pornography. His sister reported him to the police and 'content stored on the encrypted hard drive matched file hashes for known child pornography content'.

How can you look in the mirror and think he should go free without the evidence being examined? I couldn't live in a world where a suspect could say "Well, I forgot the password" and walk away Scott-free on such an ugly crime.

When I was ten years old I was proud to have memorized lots of odd things like the name of the highest peak in Sri Lanka or the capital of Honduras . Now 50+ years on I still remember them because I wanted to remember, but I honestly can say nobody ever has asked me for it . I also learnt 5 languages , because I wanted to be able to communicate or just understand what was written there. I never used mnemonics , I always forget them.
I didn't like Elixir's syntax at first and I like Erlang's syntax, but Elixir is a lot more than "Erlang in rubyesque syntax" it's a brand.

Elixir is a well-thought ecosystem designed by professional developers, it includes tooling(mix), documentation(hexdocs) and most important of all: an excellent community and community support. Plataformatec often posts about design decisions and best practices and it doesn't take long till you hit a forum post or github issue or SO question answered by Jose Valim, Elixir's creator or Chris McCord, responsible for Phoenix.

You can very easily use Erlang code in Elixir projects, so I think it's worth taking a look.

Granted, they weren't releasing much open source then, but it was all free to use, and the quality was far above open source alternatives (e.g. think the Visual Studio debugger vs. GDB wrappers).

I think they just naturally figured out that there's zero advantage to keeping developer tools closed source.
It made me sad that the Evernote migration wasn't full fidelity. Been a few months, but I recall it didn't bring over pictures.
Distributions (package sets) can and do enforce that a as few versions of something as possible be supported. But it's just stupid to make this a hard requirement of the package manager itself---both old-school upgrades and new-school docker-style workflows become so much harder.
Indeed! My work setup includes a monitor with a powered USB-C output.

I plug all my peripherals into the back of the monitor once, and when I get in I plug the single USB-C wire into my laptop, it carries power, VGA, data, and ethernet.
It’s okay if you think we should not force people to unlock their phones pursuant to a criminal investigation. But it’s disingenuous to paint this as an attempt to “disregard” the 4th and 5th amendments. The Supreme Court in the 1950s and 1960s expanded the scope of those amendments far beyond the text. They turned the 4th amendment into a general purpose “privacy” amendment, even though the amendment doesn’t use that word or anything nearly as expansive. And they took the 5th amendment, which refers only to forcing someone to testify against themselves in a criminal case, and turned it into a broad protection against self incrimination. But that amendment doesn’t use the phrase “self incrimination” or anything nearly as broad.

This is not novel. It’s always been the rule that the police can force you to turn over evidence in your possession, even though they can’t force you to serve as a “witness” against yourself. The idea that turning over a password is like forcing someone to testify against himself because it involves a mental recollection is already a very stretchy interpretation of the 5th amendment. Extending that even further to situations that aren’t testimonial in any way (Face ID or Touch ID) is hard to defend as a matter of Constitutional interpretation (even if you think it is good policy).

The background principle of the law is that courts are entitled to all the evidence so they can find the truth. The amendments are exceptions to those rules created for specific purposes. But they are exceptions; they are not the rule. To the extent that anyone is trying to “bypass” something, folks reading those amendments unreasonably broadly are trying to bypass the general rule in favor of discovering evidence.
Let me get this right: because you weren't annoyed by the level of drone noise while you were at a punk rock concert and weren't worried about it falling on you, you think flying them over people should be allowed "all the time"?

Like another commenter said, "You go inside if you want peace and quiet. The outside is only for the self-entitled now."
3 cameras? I thought Apple was about innovation, didn't I see a Samsung with 7 cameras?

It’s unusable for me as well, but for a similar reason on the computer. When I’m on a computer, the last thing I want is to be forced to login to email for a code since I use web based email (which I don’t keep open all the time). Even if I were to use a desktop client, I wouldn’t have it kept open all the time.

This is the price we pay for an imperfect world, I'd rather a few murderers walk than many innocent men be imprisoned. Your balanced, nuanced idealism simply doesn't work at scale, you cannot assume that every judge, jury, and LEO will be good, so you've got to give the criminals rights even if you're pretty sure they're criminals.

As a judge or LEO I'd have a much harder time looking in the mirror knowing I stole an innocent man's life than knowing that I might not have stopped every criminal.

> is that when memorising things that already have an inner logic, there is no need to visualize or create stories

That matches closely with what I observed of how it's difficult to memorize prose in a completely foreign language, yet it seems one can recall song lyrics in that language with just one or two listens. It seems that any sort of internal structure can serve as scaffolding and reduce the task from brute-force memorization to some sort of "interpolation."

Thanks for the info. That makes sense: if by revealing that you know the password, you are also revealing constructive possession, then your explanation adds up. But if it’s very obvious that it is your phone, which I think is the more common case for some of these situations, it doesn’t, right?

The introduction of this primer and the launch of the Ethereum registry coincides with Urbit's founder, Curtis Yarvin, leaving the company [1]. It's possible that this could increase the reputation of Urbit, accounting for those who have political issues with Yarvin, who used to blog as Mencius Moldbug. At some point a few years ago when some controversy arose, he came into the HN comments to duke it out a bit.

I didn't care about the blog posts that most people cared about, but I did care that he seemed to be set up as some kind of "overlord" of Urbit, with control over development and personally owning a large amount of the address space, combined with the sort of high-tech slave grid mentality envisioned in this post [2] where he argued that putting ankle bracelets on the entire population of say, Iraq, was an appropriate way to run the country. A modest proposal? Probably, but it gave me a bad feeling.

According to Yarvin, he gave up almost all his personal address space to urbit.org, which is intended to be a foundation for future development. The primer emphasizes a diversity of communities without central control. Urbit has always been a very intriguing concept to me, and I hope it finds success.

I also started using NixOS around Christmas time. I really love NixOS, but I'm at best lukewarm on Nix as a language. Honestly, though, the language is not my current concern. My current concern is actually more about compartmentalization.

Being able to run `nix-shell -p` and get a shell with a program installed is super cool. Also, being able to add a package to the system declaratively is super cool. However, one thing I wonder about is workflows.

For example, I have a lot of Jetbrains IDEs installed for various languages, but I don't want to pollute my global environment with tools, especially command line tools that pollute the PATH. Let's say I want to use Jetbrains Rider. I can easily start a shell with the dotnet SDK with `nix-shell -p dotnet`, then start Rider under that shell. This is OK, but it feels wrong to me. It feels weird that launching Rider outside of nix-shell won't ever work, yet it's installed globally. And yet, I also kind of want it to be globally installed...

Another solution would be to have Nix expressions for every project I work on. This actually seems better and I've adopted it for a couple projects, but it also irks me because it feels half-baked. I don't know where to put these expressions other than next to the project, but I don't think it belongs in version control. Also, I'm very mixed for what belongs in these environments. Should it be personally suited, with my IDE and developer tools? If I do that, I can't share the same code I'd use for my tooling as I would for my Nixpkg (assuming there is a nixpkg) which leads to a divergence I don't like. (Though maybe that can be solved?)

I almost want a robust system of working environments that encapsulates this. So, I could think about my Nix workflows as separate environments. Declarative or imperative, and ideally with more encapsulation than a typical nix-shell. Maybe instead of orienting my workflow around opening an IDE and opening a project, I can orient it around opening a project environment and then opening an IDE inside of it.

At this point I'm just rambling. I still prefer NixOS for practical reasons, since it makes my complex IOMMU setup a cinch and keeps all of the configuration for it surfaced and documented. But dang, the potential here to shift workflow paradigms is enormous, it feels.
The mistake is to think you can reach a state of "objective" to begin with.

Notion is a webapp. You can use it fine with a browser. I think everyone is missing the fact that the desktop apps are not necessary.
yes, one of the reasons i believe we evolved to be social creatures is that we uncover better answers when we triangulate opinions and facts with others rather than solely relying on one’s own intuition or reasoning.
NixOS lightweight but fanboy here. I really rooting for both Nix and Guix to get more attention. They are suffering from usability problems because of they lack of attention so far. But, the power they grant to make major system changes with low risk is so damn good... It seems a tragedy that market inertia is putting billions into portable snapshots while ignoring provably bit-accurate, experimentable configuration.

If JSONFeed has practical improvements over RSS/Atom, they've done a terrible job of promoting that.

There is no getting past rape, murder, or kidnapping. Those crimes change who you are. There should be a social stigma attached to being a rapist, a murderer, or a kidnapper, even if the felon feels bad about it afterwards.

In other words, the defining characteristic of a felony is that it's the kind of crime that's so serious that it can't just be forgotten and moved past. Sadly our legislatures are rather daft sometimes, so many lesser crimes are legally classified as felonies.
