The attention on Apple really isn't unfair when you a) compare their 2016+ machines to their 2015 ones, and b) dig a little deeper into some of the design flaws of the machines beyond the keyboard.

For example:

* The trackpad on 2016+ models is too large for many users who experience palm rejection issues.
* The display cable on 2016 and 2017 machines was too short, and is now starting to cause the issue known as "flexgate". It's almost a given that with enough use, every one of these machines will suffer this failure. To make matters worse, unlike the 2015 machines where the display cable could be replaced on its own, the entire display assembly is glued together on 2016+ machines and has to be replaced as a whole unit.
* Stupid electrical decisions such as putting pins for high voltage backlight power and low voltage data signalling right next to eachother mean that there's a good chance the machine will fry itself if it gets at all humid inside (most machines do at some stage, especially if used on a lap). Most other notebooks do not do this and are much more durable in this regard.
* The storage being soldered is fucking braindead. Apart from being planned obsolescence due to NAND flash's finite lifespan and macOS's increasing hunger for storage space, data recovery is not possible without a proprietary system to connect to a lifeboat port on 2016-2017 machines. 2018 machines have no such port and at this stage, there is no known way to recover data from working flash chips on a dead logic board without board-level repair.

Apple made far better computers in 2015. The competition also being shit doesn't excuse Apple's regressions.
Would suggest "This is just very cool [...] works very well" to avoid people like me reading through the lines ;)
Sure.

But, IMO, among the income-based taxes, gross is still the most fair. Net/value-added is too easy to manipulate and too difficult to prove manipulation of. c.f. Hollywood Accounting[1]

I also think that a progressive gross-based scheme would help prevent runaway growth in the case that r > g. At some point, the incremental cost of storing income becomes greater than the cost of passing the money through.

I think the author has done little or no mobile development - battery life isn't even brought up. Sure the latest phone might be in some ways as powerful as a 10 year old laptop when the hardware is in a high performance mode, but running a mobile device full-tilt is going to drain the battery very, very quickly.
Rolling release =/= bleeding edge.
It’s true that this is consistent with ADHD, but it’s not nearly enough information to diagnose because it’s also a common experience to many people (really). ADHD is basically defined as the bottom of a bell curve in a number of areas (depending on how you look at it, executive functions or behaviors) that are normal to the human experience, just so extreme and frequent that they are impairing to functioning in life. It is a real disorder, but it’s challenging to understand and diagnose because it’s basically an extreme version of experiences and troubles that most people have. Books and lectures about procrastination are extremely popular for a reason. Procrastination, to some extent, on work and school projects is almost a universal experience. Apart from a few outliers, most people I know waited until the day or two before to work on on week or month long assignments.

Please be careful about telling strangers they may have a mental disorder — just like a false positive on a medical test, it can induce anxiety and cost a lot of money to investigate.
That is fair, and I think you're right. That said, I think those cases are uncommon enough that it's still practically a guarantee that negative results will not be racking up citations, and hence there still being very little incentive to publish those negative results. There are some exceptions to this, of course, but I think those would get published now anyway.

In other words: I don't think limited publication venues is the reason few negative results get published. [1]

But absolutely, it should be normalised. I also do think preregistration would be an effective tool in making that happen, if funders start requiring it - which is a challenge in its own right.

[1] I think this summarises my views best, so I'm adding this to my original comment as well.
Massive exhaustion, inability, and unwillingness to maintain their colonial empire after losing the best part of two generations to European wars had the most to do with it.

Unfortunately, we are still dealing with the fallout of Britain's abdication of responsibility.
I'm afraid I'm not a therapist, but here's what mine tells me.

My self-esteem/self-compassion problems are essentially caused by a few beliefs about myself and the world that are flatly wrong. I grew up "profoundly gifted" in a rural area, and as a result was basically socialized to believe that my entire identity and value as a person hinged on how intelligent I was perceived to be (belief #1). This resulted in my always being on high alert, even when it didn't outwardly look like it - I had to perform, had to show off, had to be right or close to it, all the time (belief #2). I couldn't _ever_ give myself a break or show myself basic self-compassion for fear that it would "go to my head" and make me an arrogant prick (belief #3).

More recently, the more I learned about the world and its atrocities, the more I felt like they were things that I couldn't look away from or stop thinking about, even to take care of myself, or I was functionally no different from an evil or amoral person (belief #4). But of course I was too busy having anxiety attacks every time I thought about it to actually _do_ anything about those things, so...

There's more where this came from, but I think you get the idea.

I've had to work on unlearning these beliefs through a lot of CBT and ACT (linked in my previous post). The basic practice is something you can do by yourself - there are plenty of personal workbooks for it, which will be turned up by a Google search for "cbt/act therapy workbook." See also [1], [2].

The specific problem I was having, outlined in my earlier post, is that I had become so attached to these beliefs that I believed them on a sub-thought level even as I fully intellectually understood that they were wrong and unhelpful. Thus, when they started to get to me I would _know_ that they were adversely affecting me, but when I reached out to people I just kept finding different "rationalizations"/ways to express the same thing. We usually ended up arguing in circles.

I think the aforementioned dissociative episode I had was induced by playing this game continuously with my partner and another very good friend of mine over a prolonged period, more than a therapy session would typically last. I don't really know what happened, but what I experienced is described pretty well in [3]. My brain stopped processing what I was seeing or relaying my thoughts to my body. It would've been scary had I been able to feel anything, but I came out of it more able to separate myself from my thoughts, which is key.

A mindfulness practice may also help you with doing the above. See [4].

To be able to move on, I also had to construct an identity that wasn't defined by these things, which I did/am doing by further exploring and asserting my gender. This is beyond the scope of this post, and anyway my experience in this area is probably not applicable to you unless you're trans.

I hope this helps.

This article really resonated with me. I rarely use my Android phone for talking to people, and the apps and setup are geared to getting work done securely and with as much privacy as possible. I seem to spend a lot of time tweaking settings to stop Google trying to run my life and monitoring me. Overall, I have a good experience but I really wish I didn't have to keep fighting my phone!

What would really make a difference (to me at least) would be a libre phone/OS. Yes, I know these are available but I can't afford them. What we need is a freedom-minded philanthropist to step in and Save The World. Once we have a more private phone then surely privacy-designed systems could flourish, as the author describes. If that happened I'd be there like a bear!
How is this better than Brave browser?
You're absolutely right, it's like a switch flipping in the brain.

Maybe a way to get there, or to try to explain it in a different way would be: You have to hate "having the item in your todo list" more than "doing the task".

I know I do. It's annoying to "carry" that todo item in my head all the time, with its danger of forgetting it, or the need to note it down somewhere, then remember to check the somewhere... So I know I'l feel liberated when I do it.

Yes, on the face of it this applies much better to "pay that bill" than to "write a book". But you'd be surprised. Soon you won't think of yourself as a procrastinator, you'll feel like someone who takes charge and does stuff. You know what people like that do, apart from the small stuff? The big stuff.

Good luck!
There are other issue with almost every ThinkPad, X1 Carbon included.

Speaker quality is a lottery with every model, and none of them are as good as the 2013+ MacBook Pro. Coil whine and electrical noise is almost a given from either the machine itself or Lenovo's chargers. The quality of the audio output on the machine is almost certainly not as good as that on the MacBook Pro.

Oh, and I can all but guarantee that the battery in a MacBook Pro will have better longevity than that of the ThinkPad.

You also have to pay almost MacBook Pro prices to get decent specs out of the Lenovo machines.
Not to mention that the pressure/anxiety of being late actually makes you able to focus on the task at hand.
Unfortunately, such cases will always be less appealing to write about compared to "assassins for hire on the dark web", leading to this wrong generalization of what Tor is about.
Perhaps it's nuanced. Maybe the problem is low quality patents being granted for trivial or non-innovative elements stifles competition, whereas a temporary monopoly on high quality innovation can incentivise high quality R&D.

That's how I heep things straight. Patents work when they help people be rewarded for real work that they have done.
Thanks for the link. Those mechanical computers are really amazing; such an elegant solution.
> Go, still uncertain

A lot of the tools in the modern ops ecosystem are written in Go, and that trend is not slowing down. Not even going to start to list them. A lot of devs also love Go and it has a very nice community. If you would have said this 5 years ago? Sure - but now it's past the 10y mark in age - I think it's safe to say Go isn't going to go away any time soon.

Actually, it’s cheaper. Our NIMBYs aren’t so supercharged so as to have convinced most renters that construction is bad for them.
This is probably the reason why the Israeli state is so fearful of the BDS movement. Violent resistance is easy to quell, but reduced trade due to the boycott is harder to do something about. It is also hard to motivate how people exercising their right to not purchase goods for ethical reasons are acting in bad faith.

I believe that is how South Africa's Apartheid system was brought down. The ANC actually engaged in terrorism - but that wasn't what ended the system - it was the global economic boycott.

But the point is, whether this particular case is a problem or not, the general attitude that led to its development is a problem, and we're using this opportunity to discuss that (even though the original article is not very coherent).
It was never really solved. Shared libraries create huge integration testing headaches and the linux landscape fragmented early. This means that there are a lot of combinations of libraries out there in lots of different versions. Some distributions stick to really old versions of stuff to preserve backwards compatibility. E.g. Red Hat is really awful if you are a developer since it pretty much has the wrong version of anything you'd care about. But I remember this being a real PITA when you wanted to use e.g. the current versions of java, node.js, python or whatever and then realize that all of these basically are 2-3 years behind because the LTS version of the distribution was released just before the major release of what you need. That, and the wide spread practice of engineering around that (e.g. building from source, installing from debian unstable, etc.) results in a lot of problems.

Luckily these days you package the correct versions up as Docker images so, it's much less of an issue. The amount of space you save with sharing your libraries does not really outweigh the benefits of shipping exactly those things you need as a statically linked binary.

Doing the same for user space software makes a lot of sense. Apple figured this out in the nineties already. Mac software never really needed installers. Drag the app to the Applications folder, delete to remove. Just works. The only package managers on OSX are for managing OSS linux software.
Well your friends from downunder figured out how to solve this long ago. You allow the company to pass through a tax credit (franking) to the shareholders on any dividends paid. It is amazing how keen companies are to pay tax when this is in place.
Ankara became the capital as a result of it being the headquarters of the Turkish National Movement during Turkey's War of Independence. During the war, Constantinople was under control of the Ottoman Sultan, who was at that point a protectorate of the Entendre. Because Ankara was the base of operations for the republican government since its creation, it made much more sense for it to be the postwar capital than Istanbul.

The 2012 Retina displays are no less sharp than the best display on the T490. Are you sure you aren't just comparing macOS to Windows?

I'm the biggest critic of modern Apple notebooks there is, but I can't fault the quality of the MacBook Pro displays. They are, and have been for a long time, the best displays on notebooks.
True. Those are all good points. I do still feel the upsides more than make up for it, but yes I am glad I'm not responsible for developing any external tools for Haskell!
It's okay, I like elixir's take on things more and I question how suitable Go is for maintainability of large projects. But it's okay. It will improve as more developer tools and language features come online.

Rather than strengthening the position of US companies, I think this might weaken them in the long run. Who wants to depend on US products if they are liable to be taken away at a moment's notice?

I think that's what Larry Wall once described as his workflow. You get a problem, but you don't start working on it. Instead, you just procrastinate but slowly you'll think about the problem every now and then. You basically let it brew for some time, and at some point, the problem and solution will become clear.

(I could misremember who said this).

Contrast with the "Feynman approach" described by Gell-Mann:

Write down the problem, think real hard, write down the solution

EDIT: Formatting
They are similar only on a superficial level, at their core they have not only vast differences in terms of how they work but they also have a different philosophy. It is not a matter of what you can do in terms of features, but also how you do it and how that affects the IDE, which is a core element of VB6 as opposed to VB.NET where you could be using whatever text editor or IDE you want (it isn't a coincidence that VB6 has its own IDE whereas VB.NET is using the same IDE as C# and C++).

VB6 isn't just the language, if anything the language is a minor part of it. VB6 is the entire tool, including the language, IDE and library. You cannot separate these, they are written for each other. This is also what pretty much all VB6 alternatives get wrong as they try to reuse elements designed for something else. You cannot do that and get something like VB6 beyond at a superficial level (and this is exactly what Microsoft did with VB.NET).

Has anyone tried doing Event sourcing with a redux app?

I'd be pretty interested to see the same "store" working on frontend and backend and every redux event being queued up and (eventually) synced to the server to provide a log of what happened. Obviously this leads to building an analytics system for your product quite quickly.
Actually I would argue exactly the opposite.

If you are an oppressive regime, you likely have the maximum capability for violence many times over in your region.

Hence violent civil resistance will start off with a bad footing in two ways:
1. People are not so keen to take up arms
2. For any amount of violence, the government will likely respond with an overwhelming amount of violence.

Non-violent strategies, on the other hand beat these two stepping stones:
1. Non violent strategies, if they are at all popular, are way less riskier for individual participants and due to their non violent nature are easier for people to copy
2. Government has a way harder time to respond to non-localized non-violent influence strategies, as their oppressive regime is likely specialized in fielding force projection troops to localized events
Sounds about right. Other methods along those lines, besides alcoholic beverages, would be sleep deprivation, loud active music, microdosing. These are all from the bag of just-the-right-amount-of-cognitive-impairment. This is ok bag. Fun bag.

There's also bag of make-it-hards, including time constraint, software astronauting, refactoritis. I hate this one. Not fun at all.

Of course, there's also bag of do-it-rights, like discussing how you feel with your stakeholders or partners, recognizing your NFC (need for cognition; handling it with, well, cognition or exercise, either will do), meditation (or just introspection). I love this one.

In the long run this kind of approach will simply spur development of Chinese alternative technologies and expertise. Until now such investment hasn’t been worth doing at serious levels.
So Chinese companies wont be selling anything to the rest of the world.

We already know that they are capable of building their own designs or software. The thing is NOBODY will ever use it outside of China.

The whole point of this situation is to force China to open more their market so we can at least pretend we have a fair trading environment.
No, -tachi is plural rather than an honorific.

If I’m talking to you, who does not work at Stripe with me, and I promise a call from a named coworker, I would call them by their last name with no honorific. This is because my coworker is an ingroup when speaking to anyone outside the company in a business context (the outgroup).

If I were talking about that coworker with a member of my team, in most plausible cases the 3rd party coworker is the outgroup in that discussion, and I would refer to them as $NAME-san.
Mark Nijhof has a CQRS book via Leanpub [1].

But I would suggest just read up and watch a little online and explore on your own. E.g any talks by Greg Young. The OP article has good further reading links. The pure concepts are simple. Implementations vary.

That would be quite ironic indeed. But the Chinese seem to be more invested in MIPS, and even some homegrown x86-64 - so that's probably what we're going to see instead. One thing we should note is that Huawei doesn't really have a culture of openness, so this whole kerfuffle is a lot worse of a problem for them than it could be otherwise!

The flip side is that in some cases, such possibility can be relieving. For me, the idea of having undiagnosed ADHD (which I plan on verifying soon) means there may be a better solution to the problem available than endless talks about pomodoros, bullet journals and getting one's shit together. In general, given symptoms which aren't going to disappear on their own, it's probably universally better if it turns out to be a medically recognized condition, as it gives a way forward.
