echoes of an ancient (inaccurate) joke: "Windows 95 is a 32 bit extension and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition".
I think we agree (towards both progress and tradition).

It's only that a lot of what is disguised as "good old tried stuff we call tradition" is highly subjective stuff that's barely one or two centuries old, which means, it's not old, it's not really tried either, so it likely is not "good" per se, but highly contextual.

Not sure how that's relevant. Everything is written in something else.

Python itself is written in C. The Julia github repo shows Julia 68.2%, C 16.3%, C++ 10.4%, Scheme 3.2%. R is a mix of C, C++, R and some Fortran I think...

iGPU usually drops frames on fractional scaling(I think I enabled it via tweaks app), I don't mind it that much but it still is an inconvenience.
That is just to say that if an API that purports to be safe turns out not to be safe, then that's a problem with the API. The statement is true but tautological. Thus, I don't see how it could actually help to narrow down the source of, say, a segfault in a real-world debugging scenario.

You could establish the same convention for C++. Let's say that any C++ module that exposes an unsafe API is at fault for doing so. Great, now we can localize the "blame" for any given segfault to the module containing the code that actually dereferences the invalid pointer. Of course, the bug is just as easy or hard to fix as it would have been without this semantic convention. Maybe it's an easy one line fix. Maybe modifying the module to have a safe API would require a total rewrite of the rest of the codebase.
Mmm.. I just got a return ticket London Glasgow for something like 90£.
How is it so much more expensive for Manchester (considering that my train went through Manchester and is much closer than Glasgow)?
The word "factorial" makes no sense here. Maybe "fractional"?

Besides, what is the fucking point of "scaling" at the display level? Isn't it exactly equivalent to setting the font size in points using your physical resolution?
Pollution concerns are coming from an improved understanding how air pollution affects people. We also used to put asbestos in everything and eventually stopped doing that even though people weren't dropping like flies.

They lived in harmony with nature in every realistic meaning of the term. Being dragged away as somethings dinner, sleeping with one eye open, sometimes going to bed hungry, and so on, is part of natures harmony. That's how it works everywhere in nature for all living things. Sometimes you are the hunter, and sometimes you are the hunted. And that's okay, or no one could survive.

It's only when we change the game, like with our modern way of society, that we also have to change the rules. Like it's not okay anymore to go about killing others willy nilly if it's not necessary. Or should I say, one could hope the rules would reflect the change of the game, but not in all aspects has it yet at least.
Running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Zenbook UX360 with a 4K screen and frankly its working much better than expected. The 4K display is automatically scaled, all the brightness and function buttons work, no issues with display drivers, wifi, bluetooth, suspend and it pretty surprising to see this kind of experience out of the box. And its really fast and smooth. Even battery life is good if not excellent, around 8 hours on windows and 7 on Ubuntu for browsing, youtube, some spreadsheets and terminal.

For those of us who have tried to get Linux working on laptops 5-10 years ago this is quite a jump so clearly people have been working on this in the background to get to this state. Was using WSL earlier but after Ubuntu worked so well may as well use it. Of course for those who use Windows only apps WSL remains a good option.

Also have an Matebook 13 and tried Ubuntu after this experience on the Zenbook and there too it worked out of the box on a hi-res screen with dual graphics but you need to use either the prime drivers to use both, or use bbswitch to put off the Nvidia card for the best battery life. So it seems for recent laptops Linux works pretty well out of the box.
Sure there is, but there is a huge difference between dumping plastic waste into rivers like it happens in India, Africa etc and then being able to measure trace amounts of microplastics in the environment. Of course plastics left in nature will eventually find its way into the water streams.
I am also a Rust, Java, C#, C++, ML,... kind of dev.

However as safety minded person, I rather see such projects being done in Go than C, even if I am not a big Go design's fan.

Factorial scaling means being able to set the entire desktop scale to 120%, 140% and so on.

It is important to me because most of the work I do in my PC is text based (coding and research), so being able to scale text and ui elements 'globally' is critical for good visibility.

Edit: It's supposed to be 'fractional', my bad.
This a thousand times. It's not just facebook though. Anything that has an algorithmically generated feed does it... "oh look there's two posts I'm interested in following. Which do i want to see more because the other won't be there ever again when I come back because the algorithm has to re-calculate based on the link i just followed." And yet the link I have no interest in following somehow stays lurking for days. /shrug

There are weekly, monthly, annual season tickets but the discount is small.

I think for most people commuting into London daily the saving of an annual ticket would be the equivalent of one month, so 8% off. And that of course requires paying upfront... Which means several thousands of Pounds for many people. ~£500 a month for train commute into London + tube is not uncommon.

Isn't this what AppleCare is for?

At least with Dell my experience is that they just come to you and replace what is broken and also replace what might have been broken.

But Dell computers can be opened and components can be easily replaced (most of the time without tools).

As others point out this is the disadvantage of Apple laptops. Not to speak of the Microsoft surface which gets a score of zero @ iFixit.

I grew up in a 4000sqft + finished basement house. It was a wonderful home and created a ton of memories. But there were rooms that we just never used. I remember going into rooms just because I haven't been in them for 6 months. Reflecting on that contributed to my significant shift in priorities.

I just bought my first house which is about half that size and even then it feels too big at times. But it's a house I can afford. Being mortgage free by 39 means I get the flexibility to decide what the next act of my life will be about (spoiler: my kids). All it cost me was, I guess, a pool, a hot tub, an extra car, etc.
It all goes back to Christian Friedrich Schönbein, who invented nitrocellulose in 1845. This became celluloid, used in photography as well as other things like billiard balls. It was the first real plastic.

The other application was nitrocellulose as guncotton, which led to the development of smokeless gunpowder and the family of high explosives, such as TNT.

Christian Friedrich Schönbein also discovered ozone and the electrochemical effects leading to the fuel cell.

That's not true - season tickets are definitely cheaper than pay as you go if you travel every day.

e.g. Annual Travelcards give you 12 months travel for the price of ten and a half.

ISTM we don't have the faintest clue as to why they killed him. That's kind of the point. One doubts that any of them have studied public health.
Yeah, I just realized it's called fractional scaling too, my bad.

It is still important though, because on 14inch desktops the Ubuntu interface looks way too small on 100% scale and way too big on 200%. At the end of the day you can think of fractional scaling as giving yourself more screen real-estate while at the same time keeping everything in a readable state.
Microsoft suffers from other problem, DevTools vs WinDev.

I believe, that if they were both going into the same direction, maybe Longhorn would have successes, instead of having the detour of rebuilding its ideas in COM, going through multiple iterations of it (WinRT, UAP, UWP) and then complaining that most devs use the .NET projections anyway.

What I dislike in Flutter is its dependency in Dart, yet another eco-system starting from scratch, just to save a programming language, kind of.
Not rare enough that I've had both happen to me.
It's an orchestrator for containers, and you can get by with scripting declarative stuff here and there for smaller to mid-size Docker deployments.

If you're using containers and scaling becomes a consideration however, Kubernetes is a natural choice because of its granularity and ubiquity as you rightly mentioned.

Following this logic, I think investing in the inherent complexity of k8s pays wonderful dividends when you begin to use it in a multi-cloud scenario. Scaling and healing workloads across different providers/regions is a game changer and that's where the abstraction makes the most sense (and bangs the most buck).
That's only true insofar as a massive proportion of all intercourse prior to civilized society was probably rape - interspecies or otherwise.
I must clarify, not out of the features listed by GP, but the features listed on the website. No ill will towards you, but the source of all the problems seems to be - how you present the state of language on the website as if it already has all the features noted there. And you seem to have different standards for feature completeness [1], while others expect the feature to be completely implemented, not just a proof of concept with tons of work still required. Again to clarify, I do like the idea behind this language and hope all the best for it.

Yes. Unless we do. Which we are. And it ends up in the water. And we remain responsible for the foreseeable consequences of our actions.

You know there's a difference between what is most likely true and what's provable in court, right? It's perfectly reasonable to see all the facts, many of which aren't permitted to be considered by a jury, and then say, "wow,these laws are messed up, they let the powerful people get away with crimes. We should change that and hold them accountable."

Likewise, it's not logically consistent to say " well, yeah it looks really bad but because a court can't prove it, I'm going to advocate they they are morally innocent. " Moral and legal aren't the same thing.

> Well I have this script processing all my directories...

I didn’t suggest that; I suggested something like the following:

Not at all like PHP.
There's a tradeoff involved. Not always, but often: Either [A] the part is easy to access and replace, or [B] the part fits in a smaller space or the hardware can be faster and less likely to fail in the first place.

If you would prefer to trade away smaller, faster, and more robust for accessibility, you should do that. MacBooks are for the folks who side with [B] a lot, and they make that fairly clear.

NB: Of course, sometimes there is a 'tradeoff' where a part of the device is basically just crappier for no real gain, and sometimes the non-standard part's primary gain is 'cheaper', which can be an upside, but it can also be some nickel-and-dime baloney that is clearly a bad tradeoff and the company making the device is trying to get away with it hoping nobody notices. I'm not talking about those tradeoffs.

Examples:

* Using a non-standard screen connector cable because all the available standards do not allow for a single cable to connect device to screen (the case with imacs)

* The effect of soldering the RAM straight onto the motherboard (much smaller and more robust; banging a laptop into a corner is less likely to unseat soldered-on RAM than RAM in a replaceable bay whose engineering is focused more on it being really small than the connection being particularly robust. Yes, YOU can fix it, but your average user perhaps isn't quite as cavalier at opening it all up).

* A single replaceable battery is nice, but if you just glue a bunch of packs in there you can fill every nook and cranny. For what it is worth, apple is still trying to make this as replaceable as possible within reason: I've done a battery replacement on a non-retina macbook air 11, and the 4 separate packs are glued onto a sheet of plastic so you can remove the entire assembly (after disconnecting various ribbons).

Separate from that, there's the notion of 'whose responsibility is it?' – this is a more hairy topic. If you open up your own PC and stick a giant, overclocked CPU in there and then attach a teensy tiny cooler to it all, perhaps due to unfortunate circumstance some of the capacitors on the motherboard blow up due to the excessive heat wafting off of the CPU, which manages to peg itself to 90ºC and survives. If you then make a warranty claim vs. the manufacturer, that feels inappropriate. A manufacturer that tries to stop this from happening would either have to excessively spec out the precise limits of what you can and cannot do (a good idea, but such rules need wiggle room, which means it can't be as fast/small/cutting-edge as it could be), or do what apple does and basically say: Hey, if a qualified apple service engineer isn't doing the work, you're on your own.

I'm not exactly happy with this state of affairs, but I don't see a strictly better alternative either.
OT: Isn't there a bot that can convert all these to metric?
Well the thing about foreign election interference which is left unsaid in sound bytes is the "how" matters hell of a lot.

If say BBC or a state newspaper had "interfered" by say publishing accurate stories on say people affected by Hillary Clinton's policies complaints wouldn't have a leg to stand on. If it is a bit greyer if it is mere local advertising violation of truth but when it is local manipulative trickery.

And the real issue here is that this is an absolutely unacceptable level of service for a company that tries to sell itself as a premium brand.

A long time ago I had a Dell laptop. When there was a problem Dell arranged an onsite and it was fixed within 24 hours.

Given Apple's margins and market cap, the fact that Apple refuses to offer a similar level of service even as part of a paid support contract is a symptom of complacency and outright penny-pinching greed.

And short-sightedness. It's a fair bet that legendary customer support would do some wonderfully positive things for the Apple brand - and perhaps even for profits.

But Cook seems too busy disappointing customers

Of course, I agree that it can go too far, and yes, sometimes we’re reinventing old stuff, but sometimes, we’re rather discovering that something that happens to be old actually works pretty well, if not better than whatever modern method we were using.

So mine is a 2001 Peugeot, it's "old" but not "veteran". Probably it has twice the low-end torque of the equivalent 80s car, and 50% more power.

In the 80s French cars, 110 horsepower was "high performance" versions like the 205 GTI, which could definitely make some noise.
Windows Phone did, but we all know how it went.

I literally just gave two ways in which we can meaningfully apply the concept of prison to corporations. If you insist on corporations being axiomatically unable to go to prison despite having a separate existence before the law from the natural people who comprise them, just admit that I'm a second-class citizen in your eyes, and then we can debate the way I's debate anyone who thinks I'm axiomatically a second-class citizen.

(Or get rid of prison for natural persons, I'm on board with that.)
It seems like a link to a random Wikipedia page should be accompanied by an explanatory comment...
Nichelle Nichols was actually disappointed in the way her character was portrayed (she did nothing but sit at her station and answer hailing frequencies) and was going to quit the role, but she was convinced to stay by none other than Martin Luther King Jr[0].

It was one of the first, if not the first, portrayal of a black woman on television in a non-stereotypical, non-subservient role, even if it was just secretarial duty on a spaceship.

You should know your neighbours well enough to borrow a cup of sugar or an onion. Plus your actual neighbours should be actually next door, not halfway down the street.

I think the LFP adds a great deal to a community so I am not knocking the idea. Maybe the idea needs to be more than a pantry though. We all chuck stuff out that could be given a second home. Some people pay good money to drive to the tip and dump stuff that could be re-used. We also get stuff in the back of our food cupboards that are not going to be eaten. Maybe we need small-shed sized 'pantries' that enable more to go on. As well as being community they could also have the council clear the contents out on a fortnightly basis, so it is just a well ordered 'cache' of stuff to go to the tip.
