> Making calls and sometimes they get picked up and sometimes not?!?

It's the basis of mainstream OOP as well. When you make a method call, you only know by loose protocol what effect it has, which objects it has an effect on or even whether it has an effect at all, as opposed to manipulating the data structure directly. It is the recipient of the message that decides what effect it has. This doesn't preclude having some mechanism to tell whether the message was accepted or not.

IMO the significant difference between something like Smalltalk-style message passing and Java-style method calling is that an unknown message in Smalltalk is a run-time "error"—which is passed as a #doesNotUnderstand message to the object that invoked the original message—while in Java it can be checked statically because the object definition specifies what messages it somehow handles.

A simple one-way message passing OO architecture in C, using a global set of messages:

#define SEND(_objp, _msgp) (((struct Object *)(_objp))->dispatch((struct Object*)(_objp), (struct Message*)(_msgp)))

enum MsgStatus list_dispatch(struct Object *self, struct Message *message)
{
switch (message->method) {
case MSG_INSERT:
insert_into_list((*struct List)self,
((*struct InsertMessage)message)->index,
((*struct InsertMessage)message)->value);
return STATUS_OK;
case MSG_DELETE:
// ...
return STATUS_OK;
default:
// Maybe the parent implements the message
return SEND(((*struct List)self)->parent, message);

// or we decide that this isn't a valid message for this object
return STATUS_NOTUNDERSTAND;
}
}

// ...

// Construct and send an INSERT message to someList
createInsertMessage(&insertMessage, 0, "hello");
status = SEND(somelist, &insertMessage);

Now, every object is encoded by a struct starting with an Object struct which contains a generic dispatch function pointer, so that each object can encode their own dispatch logic and handle whatever messages they receive as they see fit. In this case, the ListMessage struct also has a parent field, which it defers unknown method calls to. If it did not, it could just return a method-not-found status code. It doesn't have to know whether the parent implements the message.

Likewise, every message starts with a Message struct which contains the message type/method name. Depending on the type it can be cast into more specific messages.

An interesting aspect of this architecture is that it doesn't explicitly implement any kind of inheritance logic. You let the objects handle that themselves. A possible benefit of having any object accept any kind of message is that you decide whether it's an error that an object could not receive a message or not. Maybe you don't care that the object couldn't receive e.g. a NOTIFY_CHANGE message.
Apple's product naming is confusing.

Does anyone know what "Air" means?

I thought it used to mean smallest and lightest. But on the Mac the "MacBook" is smaller and lighter, and on the iPad we have the smaller iPad Mini, and the "iPad" is smaller and only 14 grams heavier.

From the MacBook Air line, we understood the definition to be "it's the cheap one", but that doesn't apply to the iPad line where it costs more.

So what does "Air" mean? It's there to "pad out" the product line? :/
I'm not sure what the OP was alluding to but based on: (1) I ran a department that was audited for compliance [minor, startup, audit for investors] and (2) my wife works for a big4 that does audit companies for compliance in the Financial sector that file w/ SEC.

When a company is audited, not only are their financials audited but also their IT department. The IT department has to be able to present plans on how it is able to audit user actions, retroactively retrieve information from prior dates to detect fraud, and manage their infrastructure in a complaint manor.

Since the big4 are not IT firms, they can only provide "guidance" on the state of the company and if the IT department is actually able to accomplish said goals. Some companies are held to a higher standard and have specific items that they have to accomplish (i.e. how they manage their encryption keys in order to secure their communication). From my understanding, there was actually a lawsuit that Deloitte and PwC lost because they could not determine that fraud has occurred [0]. In the article I've included, it does not say anything about IT but based on my conversations with my wife, this has something to do with some Execs changing their records to hide fraud. Since the financial audit didn't pick anything up (the transactions weren't recorded), their IT compliance team should have been able to tell that there were lack standards in data integrity, management, and access.

This might not be the full picture and I might have not remembered the full conversation correctly. However, I believe this is why Slack having the EKM management might appeal to larger firms who might have to file under compliance of one law or another. Hopefully someone can chime in with a better explanation.

I'm 33 years old, work in systems engineering. I use my tablet (ipad Pro 9") as an auxiliary device for pleasure and a little bit of work. It does the following, and does them well.

* Spotify player at home. Gets passed around to friends during a get together.

* Fancy annotator - I use the Apple Pencil to draw directly on pictures or even create from images scratch by sketching it out.

* Books - I have several epub purchases that live in Apple Books app. I can read those books on ipad while I'm on the go, or on Mac while at work.

* Netflix watcher while flights - I download some stuff before getting on a plane.

* Youtube by the kitchen - Great for watching cooking related videos while in kitchen.

* Look at photos directly on it, or cast the picture to Mac Mini(my HTPC).

* Notes - I use Apple Notes as my main note taking application on Mac. I rarely find need to handwrite something.. in English or in my native language. Quickly take the ipad out to do just that and continue seamlessly on my Mac.

I think the mileage of use of iPad depends on the user. I for one cannot stand development work, or even writing scripts on the thing. Yes, I have tried/played Pythonista and the bunch of apps in ios.
I have a 9.7" iPad Pro, the one from 2016 before it went up to a 10.5" screen and started the bezel shrink trend. You can hold it by the bezel one-handed, but I wouldn't do this for more than a few seconds.

If I'm holding it one-handed to write/draw with the pencil, I'm generally supporting it on the inside of my forearm and gripping the top corner with my hand to keep it there.

Two-handed I'll hold by the bottom corners to use the split keyboard once in a while.

In either case I don't really need the bezel. I do have a slim hard case on it though, maybe without that people are doing more of the "thumb on the front" for grip leverage.
the main problem with prosthetics is that they end up transferring forces directly to the jawbone which then causes wear and tear on the jaw instead of the teeth. the best solution to this problem is to stop using prosthetics, and start growing vascularized dental tissues from your own stem cells. tufts is working on this, im sure lots of others are as well, and im giving them 5 years for something promising before i cave and just get veneers :D
Perhaps the way to put it is that MCAS was necessary for certification, to correct a handling change caused by the installation of larger engines. Separately, the 737 MAX, in its as-produced form (which included MCAS), was considered similar enough to the NG that additional training was not thought necessary. Once Boeing had ruled out design choices such as a longer undercarriage with the engines moved back, or a larger stabilizer (if the latter would, in fact, have helped), the MAX without MCAS was not an option.
Supposing I am going to be teaching an AGI, I would start with set theory and base natural numbers on the cardinality of sets.

The AGI would have the built-in ability to count the elements of a set that grounds this behavior.

Eventually, cars will become a shared resource right? If cars can drive on their own then you could rent your car out while you're at work to lyft or uber. Eventually wouldn't most people do this? Eventually, wouldn't there be a multitude of cars roaming the city? Why would you need to own one?

I live in a fairly walkable city but it still seems odd to me that people hold such a personal connection to their cars.

They used to require that you enable it and it would send a notification out to all users of your Slack instance (
they also wouldn’t have access to data prior to that without a legal request) but now they just let you enable it silently.

By themselves, they definitely do not have a 1-1 taste. But if you put MSG and yeast in a dish where they are well integrated (such as the casserole you mentioned) and evened out the salt, I'd be hard pressed to tell you which is which.

That's just me though. I see what you are saying.
Wait the sprawl is caused by the car, not the other way around. People always increase their drive time, if you give them better roads they just sprawl more.
I can't work on a laptop at all. My work machine is a MBP i7 w/ 32gb ram. I plug it into a thunderbolt dock tied to 2 28" ultrawides that is also chained to my desktop (8 core, 32gb ryzen box) and I just flip over to the MBP when I need to work.

Docks are obscenely expensive but the quality of life improvement is high. You're unfortunately very limited with the MBA, though. Perhaps see if you can replace it with a MBP?

I DO like having my "work" machine be a powerful laptop in the event that I need to travel or some emergency arises where I HAVE to find a coffee shop and write a PR without monitors, as much as I won't enjoy the experience.
I'm not sure where you draw the line though? None of this is new, making modifications to existing designs is the aviation equivalent of developing a new feature. Hanging new engines from an existing fuselage, replacing the avionics and lengthening a fuselage have all been done before with reasonable results. Conversely, clean sheet designs have had terrible safety records initially.

Asking a manufacturer to make a clean sheet design every time they make a change is probably going to result in more accidents than it fixes (see the bathtub curve).
the mobile clients lagged a bit on .well-known support, but it landed over the last few weeks: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk/pull/644 and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-android-sdk/pull/436. Hopefully this should improve things a bunch.

For 'the federation fallacy' thing: our approach is to first decentralise accounts (so you can transparently move them between servers), at which we can turn off matrix.org (or at least disable signup) assuming there are enough other quality public servers available to incorporate the resulting diaspora. In the longer term, we want to enable P2P in Matrix so you don't even need a server at all if you don't want it, at which point the federation fallacy argument entirely falls apart :)

and thanks for the thanks! :)

Dude, I had a friend who constantly harangued me[1] to look into such claims over a period of six months.

He also made the same claims that you do above (and more!) and stupid as I was, I attempted to substantiate them.

This puts me in the unusual position of being extremely liberal, but also very familiar with the lines of 'evidence' that people use for these types of claims, and many more conspiracy theories.

I wasn't able to find support for any of it.

If iPad Mini, iPad Air, and "iPad" were part of the same line I'd agree. You've basically grouped them as if they were (they aren't).

The Apple website is a mess:

Energy use is another factor. The EU just nixed rules which could have allowed new generations of supersonic air travel due mostly to this concern.

This seems to be inherent to the physics: air resistance rises with the cube of speed. You could make up for it by flying higher, but then you're expending more energy to get up there.

An engine consuming hydrogen may open a door for renewable production. But we're not at the limit in what the grids can absorb, and may never get there with how battery storage and smart consumer-side tech is advancing.
I work for HP so take this with a grain of salt. Have you seen the HP Spectre x360? I was in the market for something very similar to what it seems like you're after. I was completely willing to use another company's device if it was better than what HP makes but we actually came out as the best value for money. The screen flips around for a decent tablet experience, it has thunderbolt 3 with power delivery and a pretty good feeling keyboard.
Battery life is approximately 6 or 7 hours with light use.
As far as I know, we also offer Linux installations but I always recommend installing your own.

Adrenaline Junkie: The Ascent of John Tyndall
Having recently moved to London I am a bit shocked at how poor the cycling infrastructure is. Granted, the city was never exactly planned out, but it seems to me it wouldn’t be hard to add dedicated bike paths given the fair amount of green space. Consider richmond Park as a prime location where dedicated bike-only lanes would be a great improvement. Instead you must bike along side diesel fumes on the roads that should be removed imo.

What are the primary obstacles towards improving the cycling infrastructure here?

By the way - biking here is quite different from the US. Unlike the US, I can taste the pollution. It’s a much heavier thing. Perhaps I’m not used to it, but I often find myself holding my breath to get through fumes.

And those same black neighborhoods had redlining, deliberately starved infrastructure and public services, and bad policing to contend with. Not to mention that black GI's were deliberately cheated out of the GI Bill that created so much upward mobility for returning white soldiers.

Do you really not understand the history of segregation in the United States? Again, segregation meant black public schools were getting deliberately starved of resources as yet another facet of institutional racism.
>> Why would a company that makes its money off of selling the closest thing to a unified end-to-end experience take the risk of a dissatisfied customer because of a frustrating defect remediation experience?

You make it sound like Apple has never done it before.

Case in point: the overheating early 2011 Macbook Pros - a problem experienced by thousands of customers.

Apple basically pretended the problem didn't exist for well over a year (there was a gigantic thread about the issue in the Apple support forums). By the time they did issue their recall (or "repair order", if you want to use Apple's euphemism), a lot of people had already divested their dead Macbook Pros for a loss.

Mine had bricked just after my AppleCare expired, and I wasn't about to spend $500+ to get a replacement logic board (which basically had the same defect, except it was a brand new board. Source: I had replaced my logic board under AppleCare only to have the problem recur within two months). I was lucky that I didn't dispose of my Macbook Pro before the repair order, but I had bought a replacement laptop by the time it was issued (spoiler alert: it was my first non-Apple laptop purchase in a decade).

They also put up barriers to getting the repair order. You had to prove you had the heat issue and that it was causing crashes. Since mine was bricked, it was easy. But a friend of mine (who had two of the affected models) had to jump through hoops at the Apple Store to get his fixed.

Those early 2011 Macbook Pros were mostly high end 15" i7 models, meaning they were not on the lower end of Apple's Macbook Pro line. People paid good money for them. If Apple didn't have their heads in the sand and gave everyone replacements (i.e., a 2012 model, which didn't have heat issues) as the problem occurred, it would have been a rounding error for them. But they didn't do that.

>> fundamental misunderstanding of how Apple views its customers and how Apple makes its money.

Speaking from my one experience - I didn't feel like Apple was interested in my experience at all. While I never considered myself a fanboy, I was very loyal to Apple and totally invested in the ecosystem. After my experience with the 2011 Macbook debacle, I abandoned them completely. It meant writing off a lot of money spent on Mac software, mobile apps, etc.
The new engines are not that much more powerful (NG: 120kN, MAX: 130kN max thrus), its that they are physically larger.

The issue (nose up tendencies at high power settings) was an issue with the 737 Next Generation as well, its just more prevalent with the Max.

Also, nose up tendencies at high power settings is a known issue with all jet aircraft that use underslung engines.

Oh man. Im not even a hardcode Apple fan but the best mac to replace another mac is still a mac. Windows is all fun and games until your computers suddenly forces an update. Suddenly it slows down without no easy way to figure out the root issue. The start up starts glitching on you. And the computer just doesnt do what you expect it to. The new macs apparently have randomhardware issues but no absurd software issues. I'm writing from a 15in 2017 MBP though and it's all good. Yes biased. But try a year old windows for a few weeks and I would bet you would consider soemthing else. But maybe not.

"Much more strongly" is an overstatement, and this thesis doesn't take into account the multiplicative (not linear) effects of discrimination - in all its institutional and informal forms - and poverty. Crime in Japan tracks more closely with Buraku heritage than with income, and they are genetically indistinguishable from the rest of the population. This is a social problem with a social solution, that racist mid-century urban planners and policymakers made phenomenally worse by encouraging white flight.

This might be due to the involvement of Panthera Corporation in the conservation effort. The founder of Panthera,Thomas S. Kaplan, is also the main donor to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI). UANI aggressively lobbied for sever sanctions on Iran and if I am not mistaking was against JCPOA.

Of course this just could be a simple coincidence, but also a possible and reasonable suspicion for further investigation.

Interestingly, this new 7" ipad is really good value for money with regards to raw compute. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to buy a new complete computer scoring 11k on geekbench for under $500. This one is $400, with an efficient fanless design and a nice screen as a bonus. If it could run linux, it could potentially be an interesting server solution. That's a first for apple I think, to be the cheapest available performance per dollar. Of course the big caveat is that it's locked into the ios ecosystem...
Why did they keep the lightning connector? The Pro uses a USB-C. I wonder why they stuck with lightning for these models?

The last thing I want is a unique-to-me charging adapter that I'm sure I'm going to leave in a hotel or on a plane and only realize when the battery is dying with 3 hours left in a flight. If it's USB-C, then I can just carry my phone charger (and backup) and not worry about it.
From a technical perspective, yes, though of course not a legal perspective. Take certs signed by an internal CA for example; as far as end user devices are concerned, the root of trust is that CA, which is presumably configured and managed by your IT staff. (Or sysadmins or whatever the role happens to be at your company.)

It’s of course possible to limit administrators’ access to certain systems, but ultimately the mechanisms to do so are themselves probably set up by your IT administrators in the first place, so in that sense they’re still the root of trust.
