>Don't other languages still use an entire byte to represent a bool though, since memory access is at the byte level?

While at the discretion of the implementation, Common Lisp is a language that can easily and transparently perform this optimization. Common Lisp even has a specialized array type, BIT-VECTOR, which can only hold values of zero or one, which is more likely to be optimized for size than other types. Ada allows the programmer to specify data structures be optimized for size, which is nice.

Now, representing a lone true or false value is a different matter and I'd expect it to consume an entire register or whatnot under most anything, since you probably wouldn't be able to store anything else with the remaining space.

>Having a bool type in the type system is really a language usability concern, I don't think it's at all a performance optimization.

Ada has a boolean type because there are clearly boolean situations, such as predicates, and having a dedicated type reduces use errors. Programmers are encouraged to define their own boolean types, though, such as (On, Off), say.

>And when you want a bitmap, you can just use an int of the appropriate length and do bitwise operations on it.

That's what I was describing. Why should a high-level language have you making your own arrays? Don't you agree that programs would benefit from a specialized type for this that can more easily be optimized and specialized for the particular machine and whatnot?

While I'm glad you and your wife figured it out in this case, if you or a family member has new symptoms, especially after being put on new medications, see your primary care physician or the prescribing doctor. Side effects are an unfortunate reality that doctors deal with all the time and they'll be able to work out an alternative.
Lying on your back or lying face down or suspended from a gravity swing are all fine (albeit perhaps not ideal for very long stretches).

In none of these cases should your forearms be digging into the edge of the laptop. If they are something else is wrong about the position.

I occasionally type sitting on a couch, lying on my back on a bed, sitting at crappy furniture at a coffeeshop, sitting on the floor, with one hand on a tall table while tending to toddlers, etc.

In any of those contexts, it is possible to find a way of typing with straight wrists.

This really has nothing to do with the computer case design; the previous poster should adjust his or her posture irrespective of laptop choice. RSI is no joke.

This brings up a bit of a "trolley problem" of an ethical dilemma. Say you're asked to create a machine learning system, but you know that the data quality is so poor that you're very likely to overfit in a way that will deny economic opportunities to underserved communities that currently have them. But if you don't create that system, you're denying economic opportunities to other underserved communities that currently do NOT have them. Do you take the job? Moreover, if you'll do less harm than someone else who might be hired, does that make a difference?

There's no Hippocratic oath for our profession, and in many ways that's important, because we create systems whose impact may very well outlive us and out-scale anything that a single medical professional could do. But that also doesn't mean we should operate in a utilitarian environment without constraints.

>Nadal is famously quoted as saying that he didn’t go to the gym at all

You're taking it way out of context. That quote was referring to his arm muscularity, not how much he trains.

Everyone in the sport know that Nadal and Thiem are the hardest working tennis players outside of the court. They put in way more time than any other players.

Federer is the definition of "tennis comes easy". His movement, anticipation, and technique are just far above everyone elses. It's why he can return Isner's 145mph serves while standing right on the baseline.

Nadal is the definition of determination. He works hard for every single point, and never gives up. He will chase after every single ball, and play every point like it's his last. He's the John Wick of tennis.

I don't know what tennis you're watching because you are seriously delusional
I feel like this is seriously under-appreciated. I never figured to frame this into servant/master terms, but the depersonalization of human relations in the West (especially USA) is something that bothers me for a long time now. And it's not only not seeing a human behind a servant/master role, it is deliberate tendency to replace humans with institutions, up to the point of refusing to recognize personal qualities behind a institutional label, even in cases where the quality in question is obviously personal. I mean, it's considered normal to refuse to see, say, judge, as a person with personal qualities and human flaws, who personally makes a decision about another human's life. American society is educated to treat judge as a judge, period. And contrary to what one may think, this is not something special to judges due to their "special" role in society, but a general tendency to de-personalize and outsource to a institution anything of consequence in society. You should not do anything outside of your profession, please hire a specialist. You should not try and fix your kitchen sink, a plumber will do it better. You should not try to protect yourself, there is the police to take care of you. You should not try to decide if anything is right or wrong, there's a judge to do that. You should not have an opinion, there are journalists or maybe politicians to do it for you, you just chose your side and mind your business.
I don't understand how Apple TV remote ever came into being, let alone how it still exists. Even when you somehow break the symmetry, in my case by sticking an ugly address label on the bottom part, skating around the screen with the touch pad is a game of skill that you are forced to play when all you want to do is just select a damn thing on the screen. Not to mention having to undo whatever I've done by touching the touch pad every time I grab the thing.
Actually, it's in the article:

"There was yet another mouse, with a bizarre charge-my-belly design. Everyone else would have put a Lightning port on the front or back, or even had a recessed horizontal port beneath so you could keep using the thing while it charged."
the espressobin(2xA53) is way less powerful than an rpi3(4xA53), let alone 4(4xA72), but has a minipcie slot enabling you to add a WiFi card of your choice.

Additionally, the Espressobin has a Topaz ethernet switch onboard with 4 ports (1 to the SoC, 3 as gigabit ethernet rj45). This is both really spiffy and scary (see my other post). The spiffiness is that the switch can be controlled by Linux and is integrated with bridge-utils. It looks and mostly behaves like a software bridge, but the packets never hit the CPU, only the topaz chip.

>With that reasoning, we would still be worshiping Pete Sampras.

If he was still playing. Until he retired, Sampras was far and above the crowd favorite in every match after he reached 8 slams.

>hat does not mean Nadal is not superb at what he does (his stats on returns are incredible), but it's something that's a bit harder to appreciate.

Federer's skills are far and above, but I completely disagree that it's harder to appreciate Nada's play style. I find it hard to appreciate something that comes so easy to someone like Federer, compared to Nadal who works harder than anyone else in the sport to win every single point; he's always fighting till his last breath, chasing down every ball that he can. I appreciate his determination and attitude far and above Federer's pure talent.
Apple has a long history of doing this, though. The PPC-X86 was actually the second processor migration of the Mac. The first was in the early 90s when Apple moved from the Motorola 68K series to the PPC.

As a 25+ year NPR junkie, I can say Gross brought on the trend of hosts thanking their guests "so much" for being there. This started somewhere around 2011.

I used to believe Gross was the best interviewer until I heard some Stern interviews from 2014. While Stern talks a lot more, he is able to elicit more genuine responses from the guests and his interviews are real-time, not edited. Fresh Air suffers from having to break every 10 minutes.

> this person can't pay you extra to buy extraordinary services.

That is frustrating to hear. I'd gladly pay a doc to spend the time to really get into things with me. Although I've learned to manage my problems, I'd prefer an actual solution to the current state of things.

I'm intrigued by a couple other things you said:

1) That we might be able to work something out with the practice to pay for consultancy. With my specific problems, I'm not even sure what specialist I need to talk to. I've seen many. They all try a couple things then point at a different specialty. Do you think someone could consult to at least narrow down which specialist can really solve the problem, or is that too close to a medical opinion?

2) That if I talk to someone not on my insurance, I probably could hire them. That sounds completely feasible. Say I did find someone with no relationship to my insurer - how would you recommend approaching them? Calling up and scheduling an appointment sounds like they'd expect me to just be part of the machine.
There's lot of focus in this article on failure. I enjoy Apple bashing as much as the next guy, but one has to assume in the same 20 years Apple's head of design would have had as many, if not more successes?

I've seen a bunch of anti-Ive comments and articles here recently. Is everyone just picking out all failures and attributing them to him and design successes to Jobs? Is that really representative and based in truth? The article reads as conjecture which makes me wonder about the authors motivation.
You can't take out the clay, it's a proper surface in tennis. Nadal is the only one of the big 3 to have 2 of each slam surface type. We can point out useless stats all day but there's nothing you can say that can take away the fact that Nadal is in the running to be the GOAT and he has a chance to pass Federer's slam count
Not sure, the Soviets also put men in space, did MIR, and they tried to go to the moon and build a space shuttle too, just failed at it.

The thing that I do wonder is when a country like India is just replicating the work already done by the USA, how much of the innovation / potential has already been tapped. (Or now with the USA return to the moon program, is developing Orion and SLS and the gateway really going to do much that the Apollo program didn’t?)

In the university environment, hackathons are really excellent. They are usually student-run but very well funded, well organized, and well attended. I have gotten a job and other opportunities from hackathons, I have won small prizes, but the reason I go is because its a fun way to spend a weekend with my friends.

That said, if I was forced to participate in that environment instead of choosing to, or if it was for work or some other purpose that restricted my choice of projects and collaborators, then I would of course resent it, but at that point its not really a hackathon anymore, its a different kind of event stealing the name in hopes of stealing the same energy.

Who is this?
I don't know why, but Apple has constantly had bad mice.

The hockey puck is mentioned in the article which is probably the worst mouse Apple has made.

Then came the Apple Pro Mouse (the transparent one) which didn't have a scroll wheel and IIRC didn't have a right click either. In the early 00s those features were super common. I remember having a Microsoft's Intellimouse with a scroll wheel in the late 90s.

Then came the Mighty Mouse. Apple added the scroll ball and right click but the scroll ball was prone to failure. Mine died after 6 months of use because the ball got a bit of dirt. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to open the mouse to clean the ball without breaking it.

Then came the Magic Mouse 1. Apple added the touch functionality but the mouse was pretty heavy including the weight of the batteries and IMO the noise of the click was quite annoying. Apple worked on the weight problem with v2 by adding their own battery, but they added the charging port at the bottom of the mouse (facepalm). Not sure if the noise of the click was solved, I didn't personally try v2.
Interestingly, the fuselage fragment picture looks like the windows were rounded.

Also, while I have read the story about the Comet many times before, I vaguely recall one telling of it that noted the problem wasn't simply due to square windows, but some other contributing factor, an adjustment to the design that caused extra stress on top of the corners.

It kind of seems like common sense that engineers wouldn't have been as oblivious as the standard telling implies.

Most disasters don't happen from anyone being dumb per se, but from the interaction of different people or groups who lack the full context of what the other is doing, and I believe that was the case here.
That it is a “game of whack-a-mole” isn’t clear to me, and you are asserting so without any backing, which is why I asked if anyone has real-world examples.

Citing an example where they don’t provide gender but then provide “went to an all-women college” is not an example of proving non-protected information which results in protected-class discrimination, it is an example of telling an ML system protected information in a roundabout way.

The original iPhone was revealed as three things: a phone, an iPod, and a revolutionary new browser. All three were true. I remember when I bought the first iPhone I was giddy how delightful Safari was, and it was the first smart phone to pass my “xkcd test” (could I figure out how to open a browser and type xkcd.com without getting forcibly corrected). It was also the best iPod and the first to introduce “visual voicemail”. It truly was revolutionary in visual and functional design.
Interesting idea, but the “Go” button is not appearing for me on Safari mobile.
- Writes tedious, multiplicative code and never stops to reflect on opportunities to express things more efficiently.

- Writes docs littered with misused buzzwords (especially "leverage" and "platform") that are at best useless, and more often actively misleading.

- When not sure what to do, muddles through with the first nightmarish idea to come to mind, rather than taking a step back and trying to simplify or seeking prior art. No aesthetic sensibility, no innate revulsion to garbage code.

- Has no sense of how long things should take, and no problem spinning for 3 weeks on a half-day task they're delegated.

- Approves train-wreck pull requests.

- Executes every CR suggestion, even those that make things worse.

- Attempts a bad deploy 3 or 4 times before wondering why they are hitting the auto-rollback trigger; assumes something is wrong with the deployment system.

- After 30 seconds of shallow thought, writes off any production issue they're asked to debug (including emergency pages) as "must be network" or "must be database" and fires off a vague bug report to sit in somebody's queue for 6 months before being closed for insufficient detail while the fire continues to burn.

- Gracefully acknowledges design feedback, but goes with their original plan anyways. Or more likely, built the thing weeks before soliciting design approval and won't go back to change it.

- Very interested in getting promoted; not at all interested in technical depth, novelty, or quality.

>The difference between $80k or $200k salary makes almost no difference in quality of life.

I don’t see how this is true for any urban area, where $80k will not let you save any significant amount whereas $200k will provide you a decent cushion in case your incoming cash flow experiences turbulence. The peace of mind resulting from this certainly improves quality of life, especially if you have mouths to feed.

Also, at $200k you can save enough to start investing in equity, and make real wealth gains as opposed to the pittance earned by way of wages for labor.

They weren't necessarily easy to find since the idea of an app store (and Apple/Google eating 30% of your revenue) didn't exist yet but they were there.
