You're right that I'm stuck in the Matrix so to speak, so I may well be missing out on something I'm not aware of. But I don't believe I've ever had to use the words 'Maternal/Paternal GrandMother/Father/Parent' which must say something about how often its used.

Maybe we could turn it around, maybe you only use the word because it exists, maybe its like defenestrate. We could get by perfectly well without it.

I don't believe I expressed on opinion on whether any one language was 'better', I could wax lyrical about the warts and shortcomings of the English language, I don't know enough about any other languages to say whether they are better or worse.
I do not want to rain on your parade, but most rumours about Ive leaving Apple believe he had one project since the release of the first Apple Watch. That project being Apple Park. Ive has had a foot out the door for years and stayed because he got to do architecture. So while I think his ideas made the dreaded butterfly keyboard possible, I don’t believe he’s personally responsible for this fiasco.

I get it, postgresql is your thing (I'm a postgresql dba BTW). However you are being excessive and unfair.

You are just repeating a meme without having administered databases professionally. You need to study your database of choice. Postgresql or Mysql.
Are you aware of postgresql's fsync bug ? Is postgresql more than a nosql database because of that ?

> My issue is with silent data corruption and subtle issues that break expectations

SQL server and sybase do truncate data too. Silently.
Are they nothing more than nosql databases because of that ?

If society does collapse from drought, famine, resource wars, etc., then will we be able to rebuild it without all the free energy from fossil fuels, or was that a one-time cheat code? Maybe we're looking at the Great Filter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

> All they had to do was implement a nested set pattern for their groups [1]

Per your source, though, "Nested sets are very slow for inserts because it requires updating left and right domain values for all records in the table after the insert."

The same must generally be true for any solution that maintains its own index in order to guarantee a single* query can traverse the graph. You're memoizing the traversal, after all. It's much simpler and faster if the DBMS can simply perform a traversal, and it's what you want.

And, again, you're maintaining a lot of unnecessary code for one system, which was their chief complaint.

* You could probably implement a scheme that doesn't require materializing all adjacencies so you strike a balance between the number of queries and number of updates, but that's a lot of engineering, and again the same basic complaint.
Not surprising, this governor of ours is pretty lousy.

> They put a plane into the air that flies itself automatically into the ground after all, with no opportunity for the pilots to save the plane. You can't fuck up more.

Though Boeing has significant contribution, if you read the report on the Ethiopian Air 737-Max crash, I think it's easy to see several places where there was ample opportunity for the pilots to save the plane, particularly in light of the LionAir crash. Even in the LionAir case, a prior LionAir crew did save the airplane on an earlier flight by following the manufacturer provided checklist.

Boeing made a serious design error here. However, it's not nearly as serious as the quoted sentence, IMO.

If you're always in a clean environment, the keyboard is ok.

I've used 3 consecutive mac laptops on the same balcony, open air. The one from 2010 and the one from 2014 are just fine thank you. The one from 2018 already has keyboard problems and it hasn't even been a year since i bought it.

So yes, the keyboard is complete and utter shit.

I personally love the Touch Bar and I really like the quiet, soft, short-travel keys on the 2015+ MacBooks. Other than a "rigid" cursor key on the first-generation 12" MacBook, I haven't experienced any unresponsive keys, definitely not on the Pros, yet (though that may be because I always use a protector or "keyboard condom" to prevent finger stains and smudges.)

I do not miss MagSafe or the headphone jack either. I prefer thinness and lightness. I'm one of the people who have been satisfied with Macs for a long time and haven't considered switching to anything else, and despite what the loud minority may make it seem like, I'm clearly not alone:

I mean. They know what they were getting into presumably.

I live in a 24 flat complex, we have meetings at least every year, there's a law governing these HOA things. And if the community decides they want to paint the walls black, then the walls will be black. (Because a simple majority is enough for that.) And so on.

I know nothing about this particular case, and usually courts are pretty reasonable about these, so I guess this was a rather egregious edge case of community self-governance, but on the other hand it's not a bad thing that people can form communities and have some ground rules (bylaws). Sects are bad, monopolies are bad too, and there is a nice little Goldilocks zone, a balanced mix of rules that empower every individual at the same time, and so on. (Hence circumcising without consent is bad.) These are always trade offs, but when it comes to housing, usually people don't want to live in communities that they don't fit into anyway. (Of course again, bigotry is bad, racial/ideological/financial segregation is bad.)
How about having the Log In dialog prominent and the Sign Up dialog more in the background.

I sign up only once, yet every website makes it hard to find the login dialog which I use way more often.

Longitude only affects the time of day, and thus daily temperature variations.
Latitude is much more important, and determines climate and seasons. You are at vastly different latitude than Alaska.
It will be super cool if this works. I can sort of imagine how the software might work in general, but doing it in a wound scroll and all of the layers and orientation for the script on the page just seems amazing.

Just forgetting that this is all carbonized now, just imagining software being able to read the text off a wound scroll itself seems incredible.
This "stuff" needs to be left in the dust of history -- or maybe in a museum, in exhibitions about barbarians of the past -- and until then it needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
Dat touchpad though...
I also love the current keyboards and have two devices with them that have never had a problem. I believe that others have had issues but I'm not fastidious and travel often with my MacBook, not a single stuck key in either since 2016, and the key feel is satisfying.

I'd be hard pressed for blaming them tbh. I think the reasoning is that these are internal services you should put behind whatever measures you have put in place anyway and not expose otherwise. While the previous comment is technically correct about being unsecure by default, they also don't listen to the outside world (see [1], network.host) by default. I've always thought that makes sense for elastic tbh, security isn't their core business so by leaving that part up to you they avoid screwing it up.

there's plenty of niche content that finds its home on YouTube. It's as if the commercial avenue was infinitely large and could contain every shop you could wish for.
I'm just saying, it's outside the scope of TLS to fix this problem. Map tiles are different sizes because it makes the page load faster and costs less money to run the service and uses less data on your mobile plan. You CAN prevent this attack, but it's too expensive and nobody cares. TLS is a comfortable medium; adding additional security, while not adding too much additional cost.
> many countries don't tie their currency value to gold

Is there any national currency still on the gold standard?
Hope they update the non touchbar Macbook Pro as well. Which has been sitting dust from all the upgrades(new keyboard, 8th gen CPU).
The keyboard part of it is reliable for a while. But both the prior and current models have a keystroke correlated life.

The more you type, the sooner some part of the system (maybe the smart connector apparatus?) becomes unreliable. You increasingly have to uncouple and recouple the keyboard for keys to register correctly. Eventually, you throw it away and buy a new one. Thankfully a new one fixes it. For me, Apple has been ok with giving me the new one even though of course it generally doesn’t act up while in the store, only while trying to take real time notes during a critical retro ...

For me, the failure point ranges somewhere between 6 and 9 months, correlated with amount of notes and emails.

To be fair, the electronic failure comes well after the physical failure where the fabric printed with key caps has the key caps wear off then itself wears through — for me usually where the right thumb hits the space bar goes first.

Long story short, a superficial study would say it’s fantastic. In real world, I don’t know anyone using the iPad as a real genuine daily driver (to the exclusion of laptops and desktops) that has the Apple keyboard last a year. Every one that’s tried this with me for the past two models has had to replace them multiple times.
More like gently pushed out, he's still consulting for them. I hope they revert other changes: bring back magsafe and USB ports
And be careful with switches. You also (at least ideally) want switches which don't expose their own management interface to your isolated VLAN (usually this is called 'management VLAN' as a feature description). My experience is that of the consumer level 'Web managed' switches, only the dlink ones do this.
This is part of the reason critical markets shouldn't be allowed to get pinned down so far by one or two big players gobbling up competitors through mergers and buyouts--even 4 gets risky. If there was truly healthy competition in the sector (a requirement for capitalism to work effectively) then Boeing going down wouldn't have nearly as much of a significant impact on society--it should be welcomed. Other competitors would rejoice and increase volume to meet demand and their shoddy practices would be cast aside with the consumer also winning in the process.

In the arguable case of a market where extensive capital is needed where no one would enter and/or competition really isn't feasible, that's a case for government granted monopolies with stringent oversight (similar to utilities like water, power, ...) or an actual public system.

Instead here we are, yet again, with corporate welfare and socialism potentially on the table for groups that shouldn't need it while the average citizen gets little-to-no breaks when they make mistakes (which often aren't even due to greed driven corner cutting).
An MVP should consist of the minimum work required to test an hypothesis.
In this case the hypothesis is: "People would buy a browser if it offers an ad-free experience".
So it's viable according to that idea.
Viable doesn't mean useful though :)
> and 2 USB ports and all will be well again

The pro has 4 usb ports.
I don’t think the parent was implying that it took them 4 years to design a keyboard but that once Apple made a new design they expected it to last a minimum of 3 to 4 years. So they could’ve fixed it earlier but they insisted on getting their 3-4 years out of the original design.
I was honestly under the impression that the provided checklist did not work, as it included elements that did not work in the 737-MAX as expected when coming from earlier models. Plus the fact that the forces were to strong, the pilot could not manually correct the course.

Besides, did the pilots have opportunity to read and implement the new checklist?
I have a personal 2015 MBP but my current client has provided me with a 2018 MBP. Despite being a Vim user, I’ve discovered that the Touch ID allows me to shut my laptop more often due to the quick login, rather than it being an always open distraction. (I work from books and paper a lot). This is not applicable to many others, I’m sure, but I’ve found a new way of using the laptop as a result: as yet another tool and not the dominant one.
In general, the front yard / side yard / back yard distinctions are entirely about the "character" of a neighborhood and making it look nice.

Most places that have regulations -- at the town or HOA level -- discourage you from doing anything in the front yard besides landscaping. Eg, a shed in a front yard will be forbidden.

Usually the restrictions will be more safety based for back and to some extent side yards. It's sort of a "do whatever you want but don't make us look at it" mindset.

It will cause the most problems if you build the house far back on the lot (since then you end up with a lot of unusable front yard and a tiny back yard), if your back yard is unusably shaded, if your trying to maximize the use of your small lot to the limits, or if you don't pay attention to the rules and either buy a house without knowing them or do a lot of work that has to be undone.
> Facebook could even promise to cover all the taxes owed, which would give them an incentive to keep the currency value stable.

Stable compared to what?

If the Euro falls relative to the Libra (same as Libra gaining against the Euro) then Europeans owe capital gains tax. Same goes for USD/Americans, CNY/Chinese people, etc.
Give me at least the option to get rid of the touch bar. I want physical keys, the touch bar has zero advantages for me but a lot disadvantages. It's not really an innovation that needs to be pushed like for example USB C, it's just an annoying accessory that they forced on us to raise prices.
I don't know about rocketchat, but it must be really bad then. What's so attractive about slack UI? I was forced to use it for a few months last year and it was a very bad experience! I'd rather use mIRC (in the nineties) that this slack monstrosity.
Yes, it feels grammatically weird, because e.g. you use "is" for he and she but "are" for they. But there's no option that isn't a compromise in some way. The alternative is coming up with an entirely new pronoun and convincing people to use it, and people have tried that as well. It seems that the singular they is much more widely recognized, though.
Another word: Patreon.
Also, dig a small pond. An old bucket sunk in the ground will do, just an area of standing water. This will rapidly become a breeding ground for insects.
Human error by flawed UX is still a design issue.
This looks like it's a bundling of Scroll into Firefox, probably with different UX. It seems dishonest to me if you're gonna say "Ad-Free Internet" and "We share your payment directly with the sites you read" and really only do that for 12 domains. The internet is much bigger than that. Find a way to do this for ALL sites!
Boeing still has more than 5000 planes orders to be delivered (http://investors.boeing.com/investors/fact-sheets/default.as...), I don't think they will try to change any time soon when things seem going well albeit 737max.
It's not much, but we specifically selected insect-friendly plants when planning our garden. I'm creating an app to help others do the same.

Very commendable - it doesn't work at all without javascript.
In fairness, the news story you linked about outsized MBP sales was before the keyboard scandal hit the press. And much of that demand was a result of Apple’s failure to spec bump their pro machines. Lots of us were waiting for the next generation.
Coding, Masochism, and Sadism
I think every platform has the right to censor and also the duty to do so. Like gore or cp etc. This shapes a profile for a platform. In vimeo's case they distanced themselves from some conspiracy theory fanatics which is fine with me. Meaning I endorse that profile as a visitor and who doesn't just needs another platform.

And one reason why those outlets (like Alex Jones & Co.) often aren't accepted around for long is because they attract rather garbled minds with some tendency towards toxic social interaction.

To me adaptive cruise control is cruise control.

As I said cruise control doesn't have to have active braking because as you point out cruise control predates active braking. To me its analogous to a graphics card in a computer, a computer doesn't have to contain a graphics card, after all the computer predates the graphics card. Nevertheless you wouldn't argue that a graphics card in a computer isnt part of the computer.
The problem these and other less democratic countries have is that the government can stay in power using resource extraction wealth to pay their police and armies and they do not rely on direct taxation for their revenues. The reason the people do not have a say in how money gets spent is because there is no political reason to ask them. See De Mesquita and Smith on that dynamic.

The problem for developing countries is not foreign bank "secrecy," (a presumptuous term itself) it's their domestic resource curse and other governments propping these leaders up. For these third party countries to decline to sign surveillance agreements and tax treaties that disadvantage them is not "secrecy," its sovereignty.

Attacking the sovereignty of financial centres is a sordid attempt to bar the exits and prevent capital flight when large state governments impose ever more wealth destroying policies to buy votes.

If by "fringe," you mean that solving the spending problem before the revenue problem is beneath discourse - the policy makers of every Tory, Republican, and Conservative party in the western world would probably like to have a word. As would a number of Liberal parties as well. Contributing to lazy propaganda that advocates for soaking "the rich," seems rather more a fringe activity, and further, if it does not include an understanding of the mechanisms of finance, one that is intellectually dishonest at that.
Alright, I got criticized for spamming on other climate change posts for copy-pasting links, so here's what I'm doing.

My background is growth/marketing, having worked at startups, Uber and Google. I'm quitting Google end of summer to work on climate change full-time, but right now I'm helping out 2 tech communities [1][2] and one startup working with open-source projects, calculating people's CO2 emissions in a privacy-by-design manner[3].

After the summer, I hope to join that startup full-time (if they want me ;-) ) and help also in politics with the Citizen's Climate Lobby[4] and their effort to pass a Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation globally.

Even if you don't work full-time on it, there are plenty of ways you can help.
