I don't want to get into the mud on social conservatism. These people want to undo abortion and marriage rights, among a lot of other social progress we have made. Do I really need to explain the difference between someone who likes to debate interest rate hikes with someone who wants to remove rights for women and LGBT people?

I'm not being high and mighty. I simply asked if he had reflected on why he felt censored. If he was sharing fake news about Hillary being a lizard person, then yeah, I understand why people would remove him from their newsfeed.
Maybe hands were wrung, I won't dispute that. And yet not demands for public action like there were in the 80's about inner city drugs. No "war on meth" was ever declared. No huge increases in law enforcement funding arrived in the rural west. No steeper penalties for meth were ever passed that I'm aware of. No focus on three strikes legislation to "clean up Colorado". The media coverage was an illustrative example, the story is about decades of deeply unfair prosecution via law enforcement of what in other demographics is deemed a social ill.

But agreed: hands were wrung about meth.

This is all speculation and without knowing concrete numbers, one can't make any definitive statements about why coffee costs $x and a podcast costs $y. I'm sure performing quality research costs many man hours, traveling, opportunity costs for stories that don't pan out, legal costs, etc.

At the end of the day, however, all you need is the fact that there are no successful paid podcasts, and the most successful ones use advertising. There's nothing stopping anyone from creating one, and it's not a novel idea. Same with newspapers. The very fact that one doesn't exist, when the alternative (paid version without advertising) is a known idea and easily executable, must mean that there is a problem with the business model itself.

Perhaps the problem is that it can't compete in the same environment with media that uses advertising. Perhaps a sufficient number of people simply aren't willing to pay a sufficient price for them to exist without advertising.

Sure, let's give a hypothetical but quite plausible example. Let's say that I run website ABC and the ad intermediary scripts make a note that fingerprint XYZ visited my site.

They then give that data to Facebook who some days later records a visit from user srbby with the fingerprint XYZ, so they know that "srbby" with phone number 123455 (which fb has) visited site ABC.

Also, your aunt has your phone number in her contact list and she (as a few other people, to make it certain) lists a name "Bob Smith" for it, so FB can link that user "srbby" Bob Smith phone# 123455 visited site ABC.

Afterwards they sell that data to some ad agency that combines it with location data from either your cell phone provider (the major US cell providers sell such data) or some driving or taxi app to note your travel patterns and extract where you live and work.

So they know that fingerprint XYZ has the following (long) list of user accounts, visits sites like ABC, has that particular phone number, most likely is called Bob Smith, and most likely lives in such and such address and works at ACME Inc (or drives there every morning for another weird reason). For some fingerprints some of that data will be wrong, but it's mostly accurate, and definitely accurate enough for their prposes.

They don't really give all that data around to every advertiser just because (well, not for free), however, whenever an ad "auction" asks "heeeey, who's going to bid the most for which ad for fingerprint XYZ?" then this is the profile that's going to be used to make the winning, most targeted bid.
If you’re stuck with a mobile dwelling, then it’s reasonable. If you’re permanently siting it, then there’s no reason not to simply dig a hole, and put a septic tank in. It’s a proven technology, that maintains itself. I grew up with one. My parents’ house has had one for 60 years without issue.

You may argue that it is more complex, but almost everything is more complex than defecating into a bag.
The other huge factor is that developers love re-inventing stuff. Nobody wants to be content just maintaining something that has been working for 30 years, because thats career suicide in today's world. "Hey, tell me about the cool stuff you're working on.." "You guys are still using that framework? Wow!". Its an interesting contrast from the industry I'm in (vaccines) where people are extremely risk-averse and do not ever want to disturb code/process flows that work and are making money. I have come to appreciate software reliability a LOT more.

Also.. given the massive surface area of new untested code thats being constantly pumped out, visiting a website today, is absolutely no different than downloading a random binary from the internet and running it. The ".com" address might as well be an actual .COM file that is downloaded and executed...
I swear to god, every single iOS release I see a comment lamenting how buggy the new version is in developer preview, and every time, by the time it's on my device, I never have issues.

No it isn't. It's often hilarious, as in the above example. And in that one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. You wouldn't use it in mixed company, but if you know your audience you can say any number of horribly offensive things.
Using a handheld 4-function or scientific calculator can save time. There is nothing wrong with the existence of calculators. The problematic part is their pervasiveness in school.

Spending nontrivial amounts of classroom time on practicing using a handheld calculator is a waste. Assigning high school students long lists of exercises where they punch numbers into calculators and then write down the answers is a waste of time and attention.

I wish I could upvote this more, as I've been blown away by the speed as well.

Also, the deep integration of Siri Shortcuts with iOS opens up so many possibilities for automation for this - maybe OP can help their mother with setting up one or the team at an Apple store could help (I've had some experience with making an appointment with them to help me with a shortcut I was building for Apple Health.)

But I also agree with some of the other commenters that just leveraging iCloud / Apple Photos out-of-the-box should suffice.
While I agree the Polestars are neat from a performance perspective, Volvos are some of the most unreliable vehicles that you can buy. But Luxury && Performance != Quality.

There is no difference in closing vs hiding apps in iOS. When the app is hidden, the process is stopped. Yes, you can force kill the process by swiping up on the dock and then swiping away the frozen apps, but you should never do this unless the app is unresponsive. It gets you zero benefit, other than using extra battery next time you launch the app to run its initial setup again.

In fact Apple originally got rid of this gesture too in iOS 12 but so many people still try to force quit apps out of habit from their desktop computers that Apple was forced to bring the gesture back in 12.1

Everytime I read about greenpeace talking about how Apple's products are so terrible for the environment while saying nothing about android products I roll my eyes.

Same thing with the fix it folks saying Apple's products are "unrepairable". There is a great market for both repair and reuse / re-sale in apple products.

It's interesting comparing a 4 year old android tablet or phone (which was sometimes a year behind when shipping already) to apple's products.
So... flagged because... some people don't like it?
iOS/iPadOS 13 is significantly more buggy than iOS 12 was.

I've seen some Twitter discussions between journalists about how they consider it important to be "activist journalists" in the modern era.

It seems bias is becoming encouraged, quite disappointing.
For what (little) it is worth, for a layman such as me it sounds like it make a lot of sense in hindsight.

As the common saying "Tuning out the noise" indicates, focusing on something feels more like dropping irrelevant info in the background than about magnifying the interesting bits.

Also, it seems to make sense to expect important functions for survival to be found in the "ancient" parts of the brain. And the attention capacity seems like a rather important function for survival.

On another topic, I wonder how this finding could serve as an inspiration in regard to the current trend of attention mechanisms in Artificial Neural Networks. The analogy with transformers is obvious, but the part about "blinking spotlights" made me wonder if Nature isn't hiding a nifty trick here.
Actionable Book Summary: Anything You Want by Derek Sivers
My personal pet peeve about Android updates is that they start the clock the day that they release the product, instead of say, starting the doomsday clock on the day they discontinue the product. So if you happen to wait 12 months for the price to drop from $800 to $500, you lose 12 months of software support.

(I bought a Pixel 3 this spring when it was on sale for $400, but support ends in 2 years - October 2021.)

While I agree that iCloud is indeed great, it is more of a "sharing between devices" solution than a backup. If you delete a photo, it gets deleted on all your devices, and the only way to get it back is through iCloud.com.
New version of the most popular iPad starts shipping tomorrow
If May hadn’t called an election in 2015 it would probably have been delivered by now.
It's really an implementation problem not a conceptual one.

Windows didn't implement it properly. The last time I tried it something as trivial as changing the screen brightness in tablet mode required you to open the Windows setting if you wanted to be able to use a slider. The quick shortcut was tapping the system clock, then tapping on a setting that would cycle through 20% increments IIRC.

Some apps like Bitwig Studio or even some Adobe apps IIRC change the UI depending on whether you are in tablet mode or mouse mode.

See this video about Bitwig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grM8exKd7mM

I jumped to an iPad Pro this year because of the announcement of USB storage support.

I'm not a pro photographer by any means, and my workflow is pretty simple, but here's my hardware workflow is: iPad Pro, Fujifilm X-series camera(s), USB-C Memory Card reader, and a Samsung T5 SSD.

I import directly into my iCloud Drive from the memory card, then plug in the SSD, and move the unnecessary files onto the SSD. Edit the photos from iCloud Drive via Affinity or Darkroom. I'm mostly just doing exposure adjustments to RAW files, and both apps work incredibly well. Export the edited images back to either the iOS Photos app, or just back to the directory on iCloud Drive. It's incredibly quick and efficient. I've been running the iPadOS beta since July/August, and haven't encountered any reason to be concerned.

I have been travelling a couple times this summer with this setup, and don't miss my Macbook at all. iPadOS with the new storage support, and a real USB-C port really feels like a computer replacement.

> Relational vs. Document

Tabular vs Document. Having relations is orthogonal to the shape of your data. There are document databases with relations - RethinkDB was pretty popular. Mongo sadly doesn't have them but will probably eventually get them too.
The biggest problem I've found with using my iPad pro as a full time device is that the iPad does not have a real concept of keyboard focus. This is a big deal in split-screen apps, where hard as I try I can't get my terminal emulator to accept keyboard input -- I just keep typing in Safari.

Hopefully this is something that Apple addresses now that they consider iPad OS to be a real OS and not a scaled-up iOS.
Have you managed to get WireGuard to do split tunnel DNS? I've been wanting to do this, but couldn't figure out how to make it work on Android, for example.
Age doesn't make hardware incompatible with an OS. Architecture changes do.
This is non-sensical.

Take a highly nested JSON document and try and implement it in a relational database. You would have an O(1) lookup in MongoDB and a O(n) lookup in MySQL. Or good luck traversing a graph structure in MongoDB when you should've used Neo4J. So in order to have a performant database you do need to "pay attention" and ensure that your access patterns suit the database type.

Also Web Scale is about any approach used at the bigger web companies. And the type of people who use the term are not the same people who would be sitting there optimising SQL queries. So I wouldn't conflate the two.

They stopped issuing major updates for the Nexus 5X very shortly after Google Fi stopped selling them brand new on their website.
They demonstrate (fake?) it in this video:

My issue with "right to be forgotten" is with the principle, not the implementation. It violates not only freedom of speech, but freedom of private communication. Let's look at what it's really involved with: I send an encrypted request asking a company for some information. That company wants to reply (also encrypted) with that information. This law forbids them from doing so. The company might be a megacorp like Google, but (depending on what I'm searching for) it might be a smaller service run by an enthusiast.

This law should really be called, "The right to stop other people saying true things about me to people who request that information."
Was there some sort of connect your bluetooth mouse announcement, or was that speculation of something iPadOS would support that never happened?

The touch based workstation has been a concept forever, the technology just hasn't been there to execute it for a mass audience. All these systems need to do is provide enough value to be marketable; there's no reason for tech companies to ignore this as a product category.

With more time and effort put into development it may be surprising just how effective they become. Most young kids I see are far more exposed to touch based interaction than trackpad, keyboard or mouse and I expect that will continue to be the case for most of their lives. Those of us who grew up with a physical keyboard as a primary input device can't relate.

I think it was and has been for many people.
I think part of the problem is that databases can have a mix-and-match of features, and it is hard to classify one database into a single category. I think the article does little in actually helping a developer make an informed decision about what underlying data structures actually fits best with their scenario.

To give some examples, CockroachDB both has column-families and NoSQL characteristics. A column can be specified to be a JSON column, and it can have an inverted index.

Or MemSQL has both row-based and column-based tables, and they use an unorthodox index called "skip lists".

CockroachDB and MemSQL both have different applications and characteristis, but they are just cluttered under "NewSQL", as if it was just was some kind of "SQL but better".
I install the latest Python 3, PyEnv & PyEnv-Virtualenv through Homebrew (the latter 2 require a Python to run, so the Homebrew-installed Python 3 is used only for those), then use PyEnv to manage additional Python versions & virtualenvs.

I was a huge fan of pipenv in the beginning but it seems to have stagnated as 2 years later it's still slow as hell. I now deal with pip & pip-compile to pin versions.
I tend to associate "super-user" with an admin who knows what they are doing. Back in the 90's we called these folks "power users".
Google only does it for 3 years, and that's from launch. Apple is supporting devices 5 years old.

I've been buying Google phones (Nexus/Pixel) because they do get the longest support, but I still get frustrated by the fact that if I buy one late in the cycle, I only really get 2 years of support for it.

Part of the problem in this case is that it's not 50-50. It's more like 33-33-33 for hard brexit, soft brexit, and no brexit, with varying second-choice preferences depending closely on precisely how you phrase the question. There's no option that doesn't leave most people angry. Especially since it's more like 25-25-49, such that the largest single group is outweighed by two other groups that are almost, but not quite, as sharply divided.

It's a pretty fundamental flaw that interferes with "near tossup means it could go either way" as a philosophy. It's a pathological case, but not uncommon.

This Oneness is what the followers of Advaita(Non-dualism) call as Brahman or the Buddhists call as Nirvana(Nothingness). I have seen arguments that Plato was also influenced by Eastern philosophy, but I don't know much about it.

I was interested in Advaita for a long time, and used to read Upanishads which expound about it. but recently I have come across a different school of thought, which calls this Oneness/Brahman/Nirvana as Self/I. Ramana Maharishi who died 70 years back was a recent proponent of it. but I have seen references to it from different cultures too, like the hebrew word YHWH meaning Self, and the Persian word for God "Khuda" meaning Self in Old Persian.

I recently came across Bernadette Roberts, who is a Catholic Nun, who seems to have not heard of the concept of Self from Advaita/Hinduism, but have reached to similar opinions about Self from her own contemplation/Prayers in her monastery. and in this video she explains it from her perspective as a Christian Mystic. She also has some books, which I haven't read.
