I'm a former full-time musician working as an audio dev those days.

Developing audio-plugins (AU) make you use a lot of DAWs (digital-audio-workstations).
There's some issue with Logic Pro X that has been logged for quite a while now.

A few days ago I heard the reason it isn't addressed for more than a year now...
The developer in-charge on that feature isn't allowed to access other parts of code needed for fixing the issue.

Apple quality-control in the past years has been totally wracked.
What concerns me isn't this issue, but the future of it:
- it might won't be fixed at all! (arghghgh)
- it might be fixed after very long time (and who know maybe they'll break or regress something else).

Good question. If you have such a library you could probably easier install the 20MB app and test and report back than others can acquire such an extensive library.

I would think calibre on a local note remote filesystem would perform acceptably.

The portion that you want readily available on mobile could be easily synced wirelessly via calibre companion. Note that you can select a query for syncing and include the current status on the wireless device in the query.

There is something either seriously wrong with your Mac, or you're running every core full-tilt continuously.
One impression that I got from the article, which I thought was helpful, is that Johns's work serves as a transition or bridge between the Abstract Expressionists like de Kooning and Rothko and the more modern figures like Andy Warhol.

The Wikipedia article on abstract expressionism actually comes right out and says as much. So I'd start there, if you want some contextual background.
You forgot to mention the impending election coming up and how small businessmen are the crux of the voter base for the ruling party. The FDI marketplace regulations are very much to appease them. The national security issue is such BS. They could have done this anytime if they felt it was so bad.
I'm surprised how you don't hear about this information being used in missing persons cases.
If you trust the PPA you added, does it open you up to any other concerns?
Edit: I was almost certainly barking up the wrong tree here: calcium levels have nothing to do with how much your joints pop. :-)

Hmm, well that part about calcium is quite interesting, at least in my case. I say this because right around the time I started getting leg cramps, my joints started popping like crazy.

My working hypothesis was always that the tight muscles were pulling on the joints, causing them to pop more easily. But maybe now I was actually being slightly deprived of calcium? I say slightly because the calcium blood levels were normal.
Exactly none of Sony’s latest full frame mirrorless cameras have a built in intervalometer, and there is no way to install one. So it’s not just Canon.
So even though Macs are the de facto standard in the music industry and Apple makes software for music composition (logic pro) that supports all the external audio devices mentioned here, they couldn't plug one of these in to test? Are you kidding me? That's some atrocious testing process especially for a company whose slogan is "it just works". Clearly, this isn't the case anymore. The literally did not test their own software with their own hardware, yet we're supposed to excuse them? Like the article says, Apple's QA is basically non-existent. This is the most obvious testing scenario for the audio subsystem used by professionals I can think of. Apple should be ashamed of themselves. This is not an industry where even one audio skip can be tolerated. But it sure goes along with their new marketing strategy of bringing out garbage, untested, broken systems and pretending they are still pro equipment. This fiasco does away with that for the audio industry, that's for sure.
Similar profile, would not considering working for them. My first and only interview with FB a few years ago I nailed the initial hoop jumping about IPC and other *nix things but overall just got a really bad taste in my mouth. Also went for dinner, which was nice but still, something is creepy about them. They are looking for some kind of desperation that I just don’t have. Sounds like some fun problem solving though.

Haven’t had a chance to hire any ex-FAANGers yet, do they compare well to the general market?
My comment wasn't trying to ridicule anyone, but explain that big companies with an extremely large amount of coders need a very specific type of heads down personalities. As can be seen in this whole thread, plenty of people simply don't have a desire to work at big FANG companies, and even less desire to study multiple days//weeks for an interview that doesn't really help their day to day job.
That trade deal was stalled for a long time over cars and cheese until Brexit came along. Then it was agreed in no time.
One of my hobby is doing small improvements around the house. I really enjoy the work that a electrician or carpenter or landscaper does. I fancy myself running one of those businesses but in reality I know the job can be grueling as you get older and the pay is not always great. Also due to major health issues, I think a desk job is the best for me. I think in reality as a developer if you get bored you should change employers and work on different problems.

What is "hidden" about this regulation? It was a search warrant approved by a judge. A concerningly broad search warrant, which is now being scrutinized.
I think we need to cite those Study were done in US. And the results are pretty much US specific. From my experience ( Retail is big, so it might not be applicable to every category ) Buy one get one free or anything with the word "Free" works in US, Works in UK, Kind of Works in EU, Doesn't work in Asia. Or At least most of the SEA, China, Japan, Korea etc. The consumer mentality is completely different, and in reality the 50% discount price would work better.

Having it completely "Free" as the spend $12 Beer for Free T-Shirt example doesn't work in Asia as well. Because you would soon realise these market wont pay a $12 product to get a "Free" T-Shirt. It only works in Japan and Korea, and that also depends on the products.

Generally Speaking, Discount is better than Free with Strings attached in Asia Regions. Pricing Strategy, Consumer Expectation and Product Selection is so vastly in every Asian Market are part of the many reason why many large Retailers failed in China.
> I view it as an experiment in what happens when common sense fails to win in an election.

I see it as that combined with a poor electoral system. Common sense wasn't on offer from either major party at the last General Election, the main party offering it is now rather minor and considered tainted through the last coalition, and others (Green etc) are tiny.

The small parties are held in check by our antiquated First Past The Post voting system which disenfranchises all votes but the winner in a given area.

So people are faced with the old dilemma - I'd like to vote for C or D really, but if I don't vote for A, B is likely to get in, and I hate B. I really hate B!

> Was it realy project Fear

There was definitely an element of fearmongering, and there has been ridiculous hyperbole on both sides of the argument. I believe outcomes will be a net negative, but also that you can't really take anyone's forecast seriously.
I wonder if anybody has ever tried to do a study on where "peak efficiency" lies on this spectrum (i.e. how much do you need to allow people to goof around, such that the subset of their time they spend on being productive yield the most value).
I'm genuinely curious what yogurt might do to someone with schizophrenia. I also wonder what their dairy consumption looks like and their diet to see if there's relations.

There's also genetic relations with schizophrenia. I've always wondered if these had to do with nature or nurture. Often studies simply say they check a person's mental health background. Is it really genetic? Perhaps it could also be what gets taught and passed down to us or the home we live in.

Perhaps the mental illnesses that our society experiences is nothing more than poorly regulated drinking water, mold in the walls, a bad diet, Mom's spaghetti, or spices that don't agree with us.

I find this research very interesting. The bacteria change could be a side effect of something but since the bacteria is atypical, it leads to a very interesting question: How did it get there?

What foods carry this bacteria? Does this bacteria kill other healthy bacteria? Does it serve a purpose?

I'm not a biology specialist, but I would love to know if nutrition is related.

You assume too much.

People who can't look you in the eyes might be sufficiently adept at workplace technical communication. It's a skill that can be learned.

Maybe someone is less able to read moods like sadness because someone's cat's gone missing. But a colleague can always help with that. "Reasonable accommodations" is enshrined in disability law in every modern "welfare state" society.

I'll give you that someone with such limitations may not be the best leadership material. But then, people in wheelchairs are not the best astronaut material.

And that's okay. But in an ethical framework where discrimination is to be frowned upon, we need to give everyone the opportunity to live to their fullest potential. This is after all the promise of "diversity": those who are different may have something different to add.
They already have factories and extensive supply chains in Japan, so it’s not necessarily all that expensive, especially if the Swindon plant needs re-tooling for new models. Typically such decisions coincide with plant and tooling refresh cycles.

Remainer though I be, looking at it objectively I suspect this has more to do with the recent EU trade deal with a Japan. Cars made in Europe were exempt from import duties, but now that import duties on cars from Japan are going away that incentive is going away with it.

But then making cars in the UK may become liable to EU import duties after brexit, and we wouldn’t benefit from reduced duties selling our native cars into Japan either, so there are a lot of increased risks over here.

Brexit hasn’t happened, so it’s hard to draw a straight line between any one event like this and Brexit. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a factor and we do know investment in the UK has collapsed over the last few years, particularly in manufacturing.

In my reply I didn't get that the "Common App" is similar or even more expensive, but reduces the effort for each application. So, yes absolutely no help in the "this costs too much to begin with" scenario and I went a little overboard with my reply.

> "Entirely flawed" is also incorrect. At least according to this UK-based ranking:

The ratings are not about cost for education and accessibility, i.e. a fair system for the population. They are about elitism.

I can't speak for other countries, but German universities are also underrated in these university rankings. Not on purpose, but because in the German system a huge part of the world class research does not happen at the universities, but at external research facilities like the Frauenhofer or Max Planck institutes. Those are afaik not included in the research and citation scores of universities.

And to come back to entirely flawed: There is also a lot of bad research happening just to boost publications and citation counts, two metrics that heavily influence the university ranking and "scientist rankings". If the university optimizes for ranking positions rather than high quality research, I would also call that a flawed system.
This is a law requirement, and Apple complies and delivers the data too. No reason to bash Google over this particular thing.
I’m not sure why people compare it to Calibre here. Calibre is an insanely full featured management, editing and metadata filling software for ebooks and not build as a minimal reader. I guess the main use case is to send ebooks to your reader device from Calibre (Like a Kindle) and it’s doing that very well especially if you invest time in setting it up and using the right plugins for your use case.

You also don’t use Photoshop for browsing your images, it’s possible but it’s not what it’s made for.

The article is pointing the finger at Google apps on iOS devices:

“But while Apple's location data processing is anonymous, two hard-to-find settings— "Location History" and "Web and App Activity" — allow Google to keep track of everything their users search, and everywhere they go. It affects all Android users, and iPhone or iPad users with apps like Google Maps installed on their device.
Programming is a weird kind of job. Imagine what you can do, all the possibilities. You can create something worth billions in your mind alone.

On the other hand you are spending your life putting out fires. Software breaks. It always does. You day by day job is finding the flaw in the system. Not to mention that you will program other peoples requirements not the fun stuff one does at home.

I started doing this with people. Debugging people. It is not fun and has started to make my life not as pleasant as it used to be.
> Collapse is often quick and greatness provides no immunity. The Roman Empire covered 4.4 million sq km (1.9 million sq miles) in 390. Five years later, it had plummeted to 2 million sq km (770,000 sq miles). By 476, the empire’s reach was zero.

And what about that other empire? You know, the one that also calls itself the Roman Empire, consider itself Roman citizens, had control of both Rome and Ravenna, and covered 3.9 million sq km in the year 555?

Interesting side-note: Christopher Columbus was already alive by the time this other empire finally went to zero.
Functional programming languages, Gallina included, are far simpler and more regular in their grammars than imperative and object-oriented languages. It seems a bit off-the-wall to suggest that the Coq implementation isn't "compelling" without knowledge of how the language works or its design goals. To be clear, these design goals are not identical to Python's, which could be stated crudely as clarity and readability.

As a brief aside, I've often encountered the claim that these goals make Python "English-like." For the grand failures achieved by pursuing such a mistake, one need look no further than COBOL and AppleScript. Python is clear and readable because it is relatively consistent, concise, and reads like how we are taught to expect pseudo-code to read, not because it reads like an English sentence.

It could be argued that Coq's goal in the syntax and semantics department is mathematical clarity, which is somewhat different than the kind of clarity Python pursues. Mathematical clarity favors terseness, simplicity, and consistency above all else, because these features are necessary to express complicated ideas succinctly and unambiguously. As an argument in favor of this definition of clarity over Python's, I submit that programming correctly in a formal sense is quite difficult to do without tools that encourage it as Coq and other languages operating at the level of generality of the calculus of constructions do. Most statically typed languages do not have type systems powerful enough to express the properties that Coq can, and among those that do, I'm not sure any are syntactically simpler.

Coq indeed sacrifices what is for a lot of traditionally trained programmers (myself included) the immediate familiarity of imperative pseudocode that Python expresses so well. What is gained is a highly general yet simple set of tools which can prove things about programs that are simply impossible with other tools. I would also argue that once the syntax is learned and the terseness adjusted to that Coq code is easy to read as well, and that the tradeoff for me is worth the learning period, but you may have different needs and priorities. I am intrinsically interested in rigorous formulations of software correctness, and I realize that makes me a bit more odd than the average programmer.
> was that a connection that could have been made in a QA engineers mind?

That's not a connection that should be made in a QA engineer's mind, it's a connection that should be made in an architect or team lead's mind, or better yet, one that should already exist as part of the internal documentation. You don't throw tarballs over the wall at the QA team yelling "you dudes, tell me if this breaks!". You know what's being developed and how, and you design your tests to validate that. Otherwise there are infinitely many tests to run.

As for the connection: the article is low on technical details, and https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/anvufc/psa_2018_macs... suggests there might be several bugs at work here. That being said, if there were a list of top 5 things that could get screwed by date and time change, synchronous playback would definitely make it on that list.

If anything, the output from one of the bug reports ( https://openradar.appspot.com/46918065 ) hints that one of the thing that happens as part of the update is pausing the audio engine. The person who introduced the bug may not have figured it out at the time (which is okay, we all make mistakes), but the whole thing should have gone through code review, at least one round of documentation, and a testing process that's built to spot new problems along with the old ones, based on knowledge about what's new in the code. With the right process in place, there's no way that hits the market without serious testing, not at a pro-oriented company anyway.

Edit: tl;dr: IMHO, that's definitely a testing scenario that should have existed. By spending and commitment, the pro audio industry is probably 1/3rd of the Macbook Pro market, synchronous playback issues routinely creep up in software whenever time and clocking are brought into discussion, and (for at least one of the bugs) the source is not some strange interaction but a deliberate action in the code.
Why would they be?

I'm not being smart - this is the genuine way to approach the problem. At some point you started with no protected classes and if there was a reason that was considered good enough by enough people, then the list was extended. So if a group in society/legislative branch thinks there's a reason to make the change, the onus is on them to justify it and convince enough people to join that opinion.

So if you want a genuine discussion on the topic, you should start with a strong argument about why these views should be a protected class.
This glitch is just another nail in the coffin for using Macs in professional audio setups. Another serious issue is the massively outdated Mac Pro. Yes, a new one will come this year, but many people have switched already. See for instance

Musl supports dynamic linking. But it also supports static linking (which glibc doesn't really support because of NSS and similarly fun features) -- hence why Rust requires musl to statically link Rust binaries.

Zeuxcg.org – Flavors of SIMD
You ask a pertinent question that unfortunately will be shut down. The pro democracy movement has convinced us that even villagers in Africa should have a say in our monetary policy. No I am not saying villagers in Africa are stupid, they just have not been exposed to monetary policy. Same way I know nothing about diesel engines but I know about SQL. Democracy says we all have a say even in things we don't understand so we, particularly Africa end up with charismatic leaders who are willing to wing it. I gather from the little bits of history that I have read that most development in the West didn't happen under democratic rule. It is only relatively recently that the common man has had a say. Trouble with dictatorships is that you get good and bad. Rwanda and South Korea have thrived under "dictatorships". Whereas we have become a dysfunctional state. If only there was a way of selecting benevolent dictators and removing them. Alas there is no clear path.
