> tune and configure it to work

You really don't have to do that. For example: I put Ubuntu Mate on a 2009 Macbook that could not run MacOs anymore (too slow). I had to install a wifi driver, and that was it. Everything else worked out of the box.

My current Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop is running the same OS, and needed 0 drivers installed.

I put Antergos on an Intel Nuc (that I later switched to Ubuntu Server). Again, no configuration, and no issues with drivers.

I will mention that Mate has some font scaling problems if you're running two monitors with different resolutions (spoiler: you can't), but I know that other distro's handle that just fine.
My last company gave us iPhones, and I was excited to try an Apple product without giving Apple money.

Wow, I felt like I was using a phone that was 5 years old.

I only imagine Apple users have Allegory of the Cave effect, they don't know whats out there. Leaving the cave is lots of work, so they enjoy whats available for them.
I take it with these amazing apple keyboards you can't just pop the keycaps off with a screwdriver to clean under them and pop them back on?
> USB-C dongles are a minefield of poor functionality

Since most of my peripherals have a detachable cord, I just bought a couple of USB-C <-> whatever cables and now I'm fully 'native' USB-C. Suddenly the couple of USB-A host devices I have around feel incredibly legacy (an old MacBook, Xbox One).

> Bluetooth seems to be fundamentally flawed / USB-C dongles

I do have a USB-C-to-many-things hub but I never use it now, yet it should be noted that the thing is so badly shielded that it throws WiFi down the curb every single time I used to plug a device or even SD card into it, so it might affect bluetooth too. I have zero issues with the same devices but using USB-C cables.
From the Wikipedia page for dynamic programming:

The word dynamic was chosen by Bellman to capture the time-varying aspect of the problems, and because it sounded impressive.[11] The word programming referred to the use of the method to find an optimal program, in the sense of a military schedule for training or logistics. This usage is the same as that in the phrases linear programming and mathematical programming, a synonym for mathematical optimization.

Apple users say they like that Apple is closed, so I wouldn't put it past them.
My wife and I pay $15/month for a family plan Play Music + ad free YouTube. How can Google not be making money on this, assuming a reasonable number of customers.

I would think that Google execs are looking at Apple’s new push for integrated services and that they will compete hard.

I am a happy customer of both Apple and Google but if Apple continues to come through with quality integrated services, I can see myself just living in Apple’s ‘walled garden’ in the future if they also keep supporting privacy.

The MAX can be fixed by addressing the flaws in MCAS, and it will be in the end. The production will resume, the MAX will be a slightly less commercial success than it should have been, Boeing will be fined a few Billions for its failings, the FAA will have to take an hard look at itself, and everything will be ok.

I just hope the correct conclusions will be learnt from this crash:

* have a truly independent certification process

* don't fix your physical design issues with software

* don't write and maintain software running on an airplane like the software from the start-up world: significant design flaws are not tolerable for software running in an airplane, even if they can be fixed easily.

* don't hide new systems, if there is a new system, then pilot should be trained

by the way, it's not the first time a new system caught pilot by surprised because they didn't knew about it. SAS Flight 751 is another example, ice ingestion damaged the engines, the pilots reduced the thrust to reduce stress, but an automatic system (ATR, Automatic Thrust Restoration), unknown to the pilots, put the thrust back to full power, disintegrating the engines, the plane fortunately crash landed without fatalities thanks to the pilots skills and a bit of luck.

* Boeing should really think about replacing the 737, the old design is putting too much constraints, preventing a clean design.
What about the phone/OS made you feel that?

Your comment is offensively patronising. Have you considered the chance you’re also suffering from bias of having used the same systems for years?
Yes but used in such a role, there would be little that's special about it. Nuclear armed torpedoes and short range missiles aren't new. What's special about KANYON is specifically it's range and payload (but frankly the payload could be a tenth of what's advertised and it would still be a chilling weapon, so really the range is the real interesting part.)

It's likely it would never be operated near it's maximum range, but would nevertheless be operated at few thousand kilometers. The reason for this is because its likely host, the Belgorod, would be safest operating under the polar ice cap where sonar is, relatively speaking, a clusterfuck.
Call me highly skeptical. Every reference I've seen to this claim seems to point back to usbkill.com making it itself.

The problem is: optoisolators are very slow. Building one which goes faster than 12Mbps would be nontrivial; I do not think such a thing existed in 2014 (which usbkill is claiming). This implies that Apple has alien technology.

I think it's something else.
We had all Cisco/Tandberg rooms for years, then evaluated BlueJeans and HighFive, then trialed Zoom and Zoom won on the merits, even displacing existing deployed rooms with other tech.

So, sure, we’re not about to rip out our Zoom Rooms, but that’s because of the “Zoom” part not the “Room” part of that phrase.

I send easily 8-10 hours per day looking at my screen. Screen quality has a large effect on how tied my eyes are at the end of the day. When I was younger it wasn't as noticeable but I'm not young anymore and my eyes are noticeable happier with the MacBook Pro screen that any other screen I've tried.

For me it's an issue of eye health.
I've been using Windows boxes as my primary work / personal machine for over 20 years and I've only gotten a handful of viruses or malware and in the times I got them, I was going to very questionable sites back in the day.

I disable Windows defender and all built in firewalls (my router has a firewall). I also don't run any anti-virus software. This is something I've done from the beginning.

But I do run uBlock Origin in any browser I use.

I also make sure to Win key + L (lock) my machine when I leave it unattended.

From time to time I check the startup tab in task manager to make sure nothing looks suspicious and occasionally look at things like CPU / memory usage to look for anything out of place.

So far it's been working out great. My current computer runs just as fast as it did 5 years ago when I built it and I haven't had to format a machine due to a virus in over a decade.

I find most things like Windows defender and A / V tools to be more destructive than most malicious software. Often times these tools will crush I/O performance and make things run slower 100% of the time in the off chance you get a virus. I'd rather have things run super fast all of the time and take my chances. If I get even a hint of my machine being compromised I would format anyways.
I keep the silly Windows in a virtual machine or a few.

Also standard hygiene applies such as opening files and attaching unknown media in a burner VM, not mixing banking, documents and entertainment, disabling autoplay and media icons if the previous options are inapplicable.

Staying away from dodgy sites helps too.

I generally do not have to keep the firewall or defender active as the routing (or lack thereof) is more effective.

Also skip the automatic that pins everyone, such as remote device detection.

It is good experience to be able to buy Apple device and be sure that everything there is pretty good. Choosing among thousands of alternatives is pretty frustrating. What brand should I choose? HP, Dell, Lenovo, IBM, Acer, Asus, whatever? I need good display, fast CPU, good battery life, enough RAM. Pretty vague requirements. You are buying Macbook and it's just good, you don't have any regrets, because its CPU is one of the fastest, RAM is enough for most tasks, build is good, devices are just working with all drivers included, etc. I think that people love Apple because of that. They put their trust to this brand, they are paying astronomical margins and they expect to receive the best in return. It's hard to earn that trust.
I would love a source for this, or any further reading recommendations on similar topics.
Rape of Nanjing, invasion of Manchuria.

I believe the notion that states are driven to war by resources seeking, which can result simply from incompetent government, poor tax collection, or natural catastrophe. So global prosperity is the best deterrent to war.

The notion also guides which states you should assess are security or war threats -- the ones with that have economic capacity to meet their own growth, or the failed ones, with a large dissatisfied population easily roused to anger at a fabricated external scapegoat.

Genghis Khan neutralized his powerful competitors by making them rich. Perhaps, and this is possibly quite a reach, Japan's war mongering was driven quite a lot by its self-imposed trade isolation that depleted the state coffers, than by inherent expansionist rhetoric which was simply mobilized to motivate.
I haven't looked at any other details, but Googling Fastly says this:

"Fastly, Inc. is an American cloud computing services provider. Fastly's edge cloud platform provides a content delivery network, Internet security services, load balancing, and video & streaming services"

Just judging by that statement, I feel they're going to be eaten by AWS, GCP, and maybe Azure. However, it seems their focus may be on creating a viable business, rather than trying to spin an open-source project into a business (e.g., Docker Cloud). We already see that Docker is losing business to people using the OSS, but paying Amazon or Google for ECR and GCR, respectively.

That being said, there are some smaller somewhat related players, such as PagerDuty that seem to be off to a good start. Twilio's stock has performed well historically, too, as has Splunk. But these later companies seem to be solving problems that make them less direct competitors with the bigger players.

Please don't merge continuously, rebase instead. You have to handle the conflict one way or the other. But at least rebasing doesn't give you an incomprehensible git history filled with spaghetti and extraneous merge commits.

For all we know, the researcher could've also mistaken their real RAM requirements and 64GB would give them equal performance. I'd rather walk them through the options and then let them make the decision that they're most comfortable with, rather than mandating something that they don't want and which might make them less efficient as a result.
Only if you don't know rerere, and don't use it immediately after updating master. I carry tons of feature branches with me, which are automatically rebased. Only once or twice a year I need to fixup things a bit, and those things are the things I immediately worked on, so I know for sure how to merge it. Everything is scripted.

If you let them stall it becomes a mess, sure. If do it properly it's trivial.

I can't think of anything else about the iphone product, so I'll let everyone tell me these are 'features' that are great.

Then there is an entirely different list about Apple being 'evil', being anti-competitive, closed, hackable, anti-consumer, poor treatment of workers, etc.. I consider working and buying products from 'evil' companies bad capitalism. I don't see them doing anything to remedy these.

Yes, Apple Maps is inferior in Asia (speaking from India here). But it seems to be improving. I noticed that it uses many sources for maps, including TomTom. [1]

I’d read maybe a year or two ago that Apple was working on improving maps in other countries, but that effort was projected to be done or getting done by 2020 or 2021. Still a long way to go, but Apple isn’t ignoring it, like it used to seem a few years ago.

>Unless perhaps people put CCTV cameras all around in their own homes, and to me that doesn't sound like an improvement in civil liberties.

The typical solution that doesn't infringe on personal freedom is to let people posses whatever arms and armaments they want in their own homes (letting people do whatever in their own homes is good policy in almost all contexts). If there's even a 1:10 chance of getting swiss cheesed this sort of "inflict violence on a random stranger in their own home" type of crime falls of a cliff. It's also a preventative solution because it makes the difficulty of successfully committing the crime harder compared to a reactive solution (like CCTV) that only makes the chance of getting caught afterward higher.

As an aside I'm expecting a record low number of home invasions in Texas for 2019 considering the two high profile cases where the people breaking in got a little bit more resistance than they were expecting.
Python and ruby have about the same speed for most common tasks (or at least in the same ballpark), IE: dirt slow once you leave the comfort of the fast parts of the runtime that are written in C.

>buy Apple device and be sure that everything there is pretty good.

The alternative is that you spend 30 minutes of research and get a superior product cheaper.

This isnt an opinion, this is reality.

You can find a computer with better specs than Apple, cheaper. I'm not sympathetic to the 'mom' who doesn't know what RAM is, they get penalized by Apple for being an uninformed consumer.

Is there any reason for a 'Nerd' to pick Apple?
Just turned 40 this week. I don't know if I'm happy then when I turned 30, but I am less stressed.

I had typed out a long paragraph about why I'm less stressed, but I realized the tl;dr is - I figured out what matters to me, and, more importantly, what doesn't. When you figure out what's NOT important, it's like a big weight being off your shoulders.

That and probably decreasing testosterone levels ;)

It's incredible to me how many people are suddenly comfortable violating the license of ZFS, simply because Cannonical says it's okay? This is an open source project, under an OSI approved open source license (CDDL) which is quite known to not be GPL compatible. The license is derived from MPL 1.1, which is also known to not be GPL compatible. Why did they bother creating MPL 2, when we could have just ignored the GPL incompatibility in MPL 1.1?

You can't be someone who loses their mind over GPL violations, but then willfully misinterpret someone else's open source license because they have something you want. The developers involved specifically picked CDDL because it wasn't GPL compatible. That was their desire / intent, and so that's the license they went with. By ignoring the license and the clearly known intent of the developers in choosing that license, simply because they made something you really want, I believe that ZFS on Linux is really a form of theft in the open source world. It's the same sort of attitude that leads to GPL violations.

I don't agree with making things CDDL to be explicitly GPL incompatible, but I do believe in respecting the author of the software in question and the license he or she chose. If people choose licenses I don't agree with, I don't use their software. I don't just use it anyway and pretend like there's no license issue.

You don't have to be RMS to see that these people who are ignoring the licensing issues (not just shipping user mode tools like a FUSE implementation which is legit) honestly don't care about open source and licensing and copyleft. They just see something someone else made that they want and they take it and ignore the licensing and developer intent. How can we hope to enforce the GPL successfully but then ignore other OSI approved licenses when it suits us?

This is why big names in Linux kernel development aren't remotely interested in ZFS.

Not to mention the fact that the users of ZFS on Linux are all setting themselves up for Oracle to bring the licensing inquisition.

Rebase is so terrible and not because of the lost commit history (most of which deserves to be lost, imho. git merge history is too verbose and oftentimes not useful).

My issue with rebase is that as soon as you want a single other person to commit code to that branch, you can no longer rebase. Everything must be merged from that point on, otherwise the histories diverge and you wind up in rebase/merge hell.

The only alternative I've found is to over-communicate every push to your co-worker because it requires him to stash his changes, delete his local branch, pull down the "new" remote branch and re-apply his changes.
