I switched over to Sonic 1gpbs service last month. I'm in the SF/Bay Area too.

Out here it's $80 a month for the first 12 months, and then $90 a month, but the only hidden service fee I'm getting is the $9.95 a month modem. I can buy one for $70, but tech support told me I'm not allow to remove the modem they issue, which is odd. They didn't say my service would cost $10 more a month.

Still, $90 a month is cheaper than Comcast and AT&T. All you guys paying $40, and even if it turns into $75 is a sweet deal. It's one of the best deals in the country.
From a quick google (ironic, I know), you can disable this by disabling `keyword.enabled` in the `about:config` menu.

Apple waits till a company does something then copies it. Even their Window system features have been copied from Linux. Their hardware is overpriced and you are essentially just paying for an Apple logo and aesthetic pushed by a marketing company. It is like the Nike of computers.
The Mac Mini is sort of limited by the lack of any graphics horsepower and the lack of stand-alone displays from Apple. You also can't get one with a really powerful CPU.

It's a cool machine, but the tiny form factor is fairly limiting.
I think this article accurately identifies Apple's moves towards a more closed ecosystem, but I don't think there's any particular reason to believe that "the future is open". Unlike in the past, Apple has a much broader ecosystem, to the point where you can use only Apple-approved products and services for almost everything you would want to do, so interoperability doesn't matter as much. Additionally, as computers have become more widespread, the demand for customization has declined significantly. Sure, there are still people that want to repair their computer, or install Linux, or customize it in some other way, but as a share of the overall market, it's a really tiny percentage.

As long as smartphones remain most people's primary form of computing, I don't really see Apple beig hurt in any significant way. They've effectively created a monopoly on iOS software, so that developers have to put up with the experience, no matter how bad it gets, if they want to make any money. And until some major new technology comes along that Apple doesn't have, it doesn't seem like there's any reason for consumers to abandon Apple's ecosystem in favor of something else.

I hav some friends here in the Austin area that have a company doing this. And yes, it’s all custom one-off work for each car.

My most vivid memory is climbing into the “frunk” of a Porsche that was owned by a famous cardiologist, and measuring the heater core slot so that we could make our own heater core enclosure to fit for an electric unit we bought. And I took very careful and accurate measurements and very carefully applied them to sheet metal on the hand brake press. Only to discover that I had not accounted for the thickness of the metal or the enforced bend radius, and so the finished unit was off by about a millimeter and wouldn’t fit.

I tried to convince them that they should partner with certain kit car companies, buying only the non-BEV components from them, much the way Tesla started out with Lotus. But that never went anywhere, and I haven’t heard from them since. I need to get back in touch with them....
Hatchways thesis is that the traditional method (multiple interviews and code assessments) sucks for screening talent.

Here's an analogy. The current method is like qualifying for a marathon by having candidates run a 100m sprint. A better method is using a half-marathon as the qualifying test. Great marathon runners will probably pass both the 100m sprint and half-marathon tests. That said, some pretty good runners will fail the 100m sprint but pass the half-marathon test with flying colors.

Hatchways is changing the qualifying criteria from 100m sprint to a half-marathon so more people can qualify for the race!
Psychedelics are legal if you're wealthy.
I have to agree with this article. I’ve been a Mac User since the iBook G3 running both OS9 and OSX. Working as a video editor at the time Final Cut Pro was revolutionary and you could open up your G4/G5 and add RAM and hard drives.

But recently I have to shell out $3000 USD for something with limited ports, a touchbar without a clear use case, poorly designed keyboards, and constant upcharging for docks, dongles and services.

I get where they are going... appeal to pros who don’t care how much stuff costs and consumers who will pay anything for apple devices.

You're expected to know what they are, but I couldn't have given you the full version of either. It's pretty irrelevant to the conversation, more trivia than anything.
They can’t bill that way though and this is a monetary transfer api

Just like how the complex algorithm of determining insurance rates is likely to yield a long decimal, it has to be rounded to translate to a currency. Heck even things like sales tax being a % requires a rounding calc to be done on majority of transactions before the monetary units are tallied for the “total”

Crucially, Apple usually copies it better. They drive niche or poorly implemented technologies and make them mainstream.
> You are defining an arbitrary compose for a specific pair of types that keeps context but this definition of composition will fail with every other instance of any primitive outside of the Foo and Bar type.

Well guess what? That's what's necessary to compose things. That's what your compiler or interpreter is doing behind the scenes. You cannot escape this.

And yes, "things" includes functions (the "primitive" you seem so averse to actually naming for some reason). It might surprise you to learn that "functions" and "procedures" are literally the same thing as far as the computer's concerned (at most, a "function" might be a procedure plus type information, or it might be a procedure that does its own type checking, but it's ultimately a procedure nonetheless). When you pass a "function" as an argument, you're literally passing around a pointer to the code that needs executed (whether already compiled or in some not-yet-compiled representation). But as far as the computer knows, it's just yet another machine-width integer; you would have to establish what it means to "compose" two integers.

Composing functions is - when all is said and done - literally what my pseudo-Forth example demonstrated, because functions are ultimately just procedures. Forth literally has no type system (at least not by modern standards), and yet it fulfills the literal actual definition of function composition. But no, for some reason that ain't good enough, probably because you seem to believe that there's no middle ground between clean composition (what a type system actually provides) and no composition at all.

Put differently:

> These things generally don't compose unless you make up some definition on the spot.

Nothing composes unless you make up some definition on the spot. Composition is meaningless unless you define what "composed" means in a given context. For functions, they're "composed" by calling one with the other's output. For procedures, they're "composed" by calling them one after the other. For objects, they're "composed" typically by either aggregation or inheritance/delegation.

> If you build your entire program using nothing but composing this primitive

Not even the purest of functional languages can truly do that. Ultimately, they rely on actual primitives for data; it ain't functions all the way down. Even purely-mathematical functions need numbers to, um, func.

The closest you can get to that is... (drumroll...) Forth, which treats any word it doesn't recognize as a call to an imaginary procedure that pushes the value of that word onto the stack, thus trying its darndest to make everything pretend to be a procedure (and thus composable as such). Unsurprisingly - because functions are just fancy procedures - this concept has worked its way into the functional programming realm through concatenative programming.

Put differently: the "power" you feel when clicking together functions like Lego bricks is possible specifically because of procedural composition; the former is just syntax sugar around the latter.
Right. Apple became "open" as a competitive move. Catered to the tech folks with the UNIX-based OS.

Then when they developed a new competitive moat in iPhones, they were able to move back to closed.
Apple no longer sells the MacBook; the cheapest portable they sell today is the MacBook Air.
I very much agree. There’s no real reason for the second tier city newspapers to do much beyond local - that’s actually what I want them to do. When I want national or world news, I look at a short list (NYT, WSJ, Economist, maybe WaPo) that other newspapers just are not going to be able to compete with. But what’s going on in my neighborhood? St Paul Pioneer Press has it covered.
> The only thing Apple ever did that was really open under Jobs was probably bringing NextStep UNIX onboard!

Nit: Jobs did not make this decision as he was not part of the company when it was made.
No, there's plenty of money in alternative careers to advertising. It's absurd to claim otherwise.

But advertising is an easy way to make money fast, that is, if you're happy to sell people stuff they don't need at triple the commodity price. Or... you could turn your hand toward more constructive and lasting alternative endeavors like treating / defeating disease, cheaply desalinating sea water, or a zillion other ends that would do more than pry money out of the clueless hands of fools.
The implication that this has anything to do with the law is amusing.

Ah, i wrote my message out to my Kafka queue? Oh, there's not an easy way to remove it? Great, let's rearchitect our system around a different system that makes it easy to remove items from a queue once we've sent it out. Oh, there is none? Great, let's hire a bunch of experts who can write such a system from scratch that competes with the mainstream queueing systems out there. Or we could just say queued messages are queued, and tell our customers they'll stop receiving emails roughly a day from now.
You could say the same for dogs though right?
No they're not. They're a different company serving a different, and now global audience. Consider that Apple is more than 5% of America's entire GDP, and 1% of the world's entire GDP. There are ~1 billion people in the Apple ecosystem and that number is an under-estimate. When Apple chooses to add Sapphire as a material to the Apple Watch or iPhone, they affect global prices for the raw material.

People still don't get it. It's not a game of pattern matching with their past. Not only have they and their customers changed, but the world has changed. Computing has changed.

These articles always fail to consider context in favor of the easy, selective, myopic pattern matching.

Don't take this to mean that Apple is above criticism. They're not. But articles like this are lazy.

Yeah, I'd expect nobody to buy a $6000 display+stand for their $1000 machine, except for special circumstances where a movie studio or something needs a reference monitor and just a weak machine to just show images on it. That's not exactly the mainstream desktop use case.

LEDs have an internal resistance, they're not superconductors.

When you switch them on, they have a specific value on that resistance. Due to their internals, as they heat up, this resistance goes down, causing current and thermal output to go up.
I agree with any or all of these. Part of my fascination with living in Japan would be in being completely alienated. I currently feel disconnected from American culture and though I "blend", I feel the distance. I think it would be good to feel what that is like when it is overtly apparent.

BTW, the biggest issue they found in doing conversions is doing the electrical wiring work according to code.

When there is a crash and the emergency rescue team has to use the “jaws of life” to cut the car open, you want to make damn sure they won’t be cutting through any of your high-amperage cabling. And if you are converting an ICE car to BEV, you don’t want to surprise them by routing your power cables through unexpected places. When they see a certain model of car, they are going to expect to be able to cut through in certain manufacturer-approved locations.

You don’t want to risk killing the guys who are trying to save your life.
Nothing is really “explicit” when it’s buried in pages of small print legalese. If everyone just read (forget understood, just read) everything they ever signed or agreed to thoroughly, life would slow down significantly.
The specs on the op amps aren't particularly impressive. The unity gain is 18Mhz which wouldn't be able to even keep up with a modern AVR clock(16-20Mhz). You can find discrete parts with similar specs for sub-$1.

It's a neat idea and all but when it comes to the analog design space there is a lot more variables to consider and constraints that drive them.

Your average FPGA on the other hand is able to synthesize multiple 8-bit micros and benefits from wide parallelization, I don't see similar benefits with this approach.
I've had ADSL2 and VDSL on Bell Canada lines in Ontario, but last I checked (maybe four years ago?) I was under the impression that in SF proper AT&T wasn't able to get permission to build out the nodes to do FTTN/VDSL in many parts of the city.

If you (generally, not you specifically) architected a system that's brittle in the face of new requirements, that speaks to the resilience of the architecture to withstand change.
If advertising truly is an arms race, then the cost is money and effort wasted on keeping up with the competition -- building an excess of supply because you lose if you can't keep up.

Of course there are also plenty of opportunity costs to wasting billions annually on the overpromotion of overpriced products that are consumed in excess...

From the headline I thought this was going to be about them having too many SKUs, but after reading I see it’s just the standard techie tropes about overpriced and closed systems.

The thing is that consumers (clearly) don’t care about that stuff. There is no such thing as “overpriced” as long as the item is selling. Consumers determine the price of something based on the single factor of “what they are willing to pay”. If Apple can sell devices at that price, and consumers are willing to pay it, then it is by definition not overpriced.

Opennes is also overvalued for techies. While I am on the side of openness myself, the vast majority of consumers don’t care about it. They only care about the value they are getting from the product. There might be a few people who really want to crack open the case, but they do not have any significant presence in the market.

What consumers do care about is feeling good about their purchase, and the Apple of the 1990s had so many products and was so unfocused that none of the products were good, and consumers felt bad when they bought them.

The SKU problem is the same as today. Now you have half a dozen iPads to choose from, and a number of laptops that all seem to be the same except for half an inch between models. No matter what you pick, you leave the store with a sense of FOMO, not knowing if you really picked the right model. That is really what Steve did — you went in and bought the only option they gave you, and you felt confident you got the right one.

I don't follow any news and any social media (I have only one of them, FB but only for a very specific technical groups/forums and I only browse it on a my computer with kill newsfeed add-on). Anyway social and news aren't my problem, my problem is "technical social" one :).

When I reread this chapter about information diet in 4HWW I recognize the same pattern as Tim's described.

I have a habit to read and bookmarks a lot of technical information which aren't relevant to any tasks I'm doing in this moment. It's a strong habit and I start to remove it. It's trigger when I lost focus or I stuck with work and I don't know what next.

But when I'll only focus on "useful" information, I can easily lost my pulse of current trends. From the other side, "knowledge" without practice is useless in my opinion.

So, I'm looking for a healthy balance :).

Touts (generally African immigrants) aggressively try to encourage you to come grab a drink with them, trying to be all friendly and acting shocked that you might not want to come with them when they want to shout you a drink in a bar. Once in the bar (who's in on it), the scam ranges from charging you way too much to buy ladies drinks, through to drugging and robbing you before dropping you home.

They'll never get physical with you beyond getting really close in your personal space and trying to shake your hand, but if you don't acknowledge them and walk past them then they often don't even do that. Their target is young white male tourists with lots of cash who wanna get drunk and party with ladies.

No, I don't think so. I think he's doing exactly what he said - comparing low-level with high-level. The low level stuff he was working on doesn't sound like it was a backend; it sounds like it was an embedded device running bare-metal (no OS).

Thank you.

Let's say we want to create a CAN bus which makes it impossible to listen to / inject non-authorized input even when the adversary has physical access to the bus.

This means encrypted traffic and a (possibly shared) key maintained by each device on the bus, or only the critical devices.

There is still a possibility of DoS attack on the bus, or tampering with the packets by injecting noise.

Does anyone know if the capability to encrypt CAN bus traffic even exists?
