The same that made Adobe cancel Venezuelans accounts today: the power of government and regulation.

Did you mean safety net as in another job lined up or substantial personal savings?

I had neither. I took menial temp jobs and short-term manual labor jobs for a while until I could get something full-time in my field. Took about six months the first time, and nine months the second time.

Getting deported because of your H1B would be an example of "doesn't have a safety net".

Is it? It's not like if you lose your job when you're on an H1B they send you to the suicide booth. You just end up back in your old country, but with a much better resume. Yes, life is harder than it was in the United States, but you start again.

That's what people do — they get back up when they're knocked down. I've done it four times now. Losing an H1B is not the end of someone's life.
Sheets is actually pretty powerful. I can do 99% of what I used to do with Excel. Numbers is way under-featured in comparison. I would categorize Numbers as “family-friendly” and Excel and Sheets as “business-friendly”. Only Excel gets “finance-friendly” and I’m not sure about that anymore. My finance partners now deliver all my budget read outs via Sheets.

Do you also get offended when you pay for any of the subscription video services and content is removed?

If you don’t like music going away, especially with Apple Music, just buy the music you don’t want to lose and add it to your library. It integrates with the subscription service.
> I've been fired twice for refusing to do things that I thought were unethical. Neither time did I have a safety net ready. But my life still continued.

Do you have kids? I mean, I have done the same, but only when I was single. When you have other people depending on you, the calculus changes.

Beyond that, imagine you're a manager at Apple that has to get this done. I'm sure you know exactly who not to ask and who to ask. The system selects for people who don't stand up to power.

The real issue is that some people are relying on unmaintained software. If they want to serve customers, IMO, the platform vendor should make a best-effort attempt to let unmaintained software keep working.

I hear a lot of post hoc justifications from Apple fans about how hard to maintain the compatibility layers are. But. It strikes me that a job has fun and not so fun parts. If there is really an ongoing maintenance issue generating more work release-to-release maybe look to re-design how the compatibility layer works.
Is AMD Returning to Open-Source BIOS/Coreboot Support?
While the US doesn’t ban the confederate flag, it is heavily discouraged and official government cannot use it. Lots of controversy over confederate symbolism too with one side arguing it is history, and another arguing it is racist symbolism.

Germany bans the swastika.

I do think it is well within the sovereign right of a nation to ban symbols of a competing government. In Taiwan’s case it is claiming itself as a rightful government to China, which is actually somewhat different than simply a historical symbol. Allowing it can be a tacit acknowledgement of legitimacy.

The tidyverse is excellent, and has its own stylistic choices that are arguably quite good. A lot of other random packages also have their own stylistic choices and they are not good. So I suppose I would say that R makes it really easy to write data pipelines well, but also really hard to write them poorly; and doesn’t make it very obvious on what the better choices are.
Well, the first transistor was in 1947. The Z80 was first manufactured in 1976. That's 29 years of improvements in manufacturing technology before the Z80 was manufacturable. So if we have to start over, the Z80 is sure better than the Pentium (or at least, we can make it first), but it's still outright impossible for quite a while.
The issue is that the boom went on for 30 years, so it's even more problematic to lump them in the same generation as the current 18-40 year old millennials.
I have Affinity Designer and Photo and disagree with your assessment. You're right that Affinity apps do not match all the features of Adobe's apps, but Designer and Photo are well above "bare bones" in comparison. I'd say that Photo's biggest missing feature is an equivalent to Photoshop's smart object feature.

As a former user of Illustrator, there's nothing I miss from that app, certainly not the clunky Illustrator UI. (Unfortunately, Designer also has some clunky aspects to it's UI.)

Anyone, who wants to make up their own mind about the Affinity apps can download a free trial from their website - the apps work on both Windows and Mac.

Also, take a look at the 'spotlight' section of the Affinity website to see some of the work possible with the apps.

America’s Risky Approach to Artificial Intelligence
Yes, precisely but I suspect we mean different things by disclosure.

When an employment contract talks about working hours, it should not be necessary to refer to small print or seemingly unrelated clauses to know what that means. It should have a straightforward and unsurprising meaning. Employers should not be able to make up surprising and counterintuitive definitions of things like working hours, and manipulate those in their favour. In general employees should not be required to understand special exceptions from standard expected practice, unless there are specific well understood and communicated reasons that require it.

On the face of it, I don't think this case meets that sort of standard. In general I am in favour of a high degree of flexibility in the form of employment contracts. My own working hours and the expectations of my job are somewhat unusual. I work highly variable hours and I am frequently on call. I do get paid for the hours I work though.

However I do think this is a reasonable area for legislation because I think that's the only way to ensure employees are not abused, and in this case I think it's pretty clear Amazon did not signal this clearly to prospective employees and is abusing it's position of power over them in an unreasonable way.
> Hiding an emoji is tiny, turning over all of someone’s files is much more intrusive, killing someone would be far worse again.

I think you need to distinguish between actions against society and actions against an individual. Censorship is almost always an action against society; turning over files is sometimes against society but often just against an individual.

This reads like you're unsubtly telling OP "your question is dumb" while also not answering the real (intriguing, nuanced) underlying question.
It's not just 64-bit though. There are also some fake-security "notarization" requirements that were notoriously vague and poorly documented for months, as well as some equally vague and unspecific threats that certain non-notarized applications might or might not cease to work on January 2020. I've been developing for Macs since the late 90s and have never seen less clear developer info.

Hi there, I'm the founder of Wisdom, a better way to consult in your spare time. I often find myself browsing Instagram or Twitter in my free time or answering surveys like Google Opinion Rewards - kind of a waste of time. It struck me that there wasn't really an easy way for knowledge workers like engineers, PMs, etc to monetize their downtime with all the valuable knowledge they have. I built Wisdom to let people with highly sought after knowledge help investors and businesses in their own time. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.

I'm initially focused on allowing investors like PE firms and VCs ask questions, but am still learning more about who might be interested in asking questions. If you have any suggestions for directions to explore, I'm all ears!

Pretty good series btw.
The biggest problem with virtualizing macOS is that it’s built assuming that a half competent GPU is available, meaning that its software rasterizer is dog slow which is a big problem because no VM simulates a GPU that macOS supports. I’ve heard things about getting GPU passthrough working to fix this but I’ve not tried that myself.

People will adapt. For most people, it's not an inconvenience to stop for 15-20 minutes every four hours on a road trip. They'd have stopped at those intervals anyway, unless they're running military discipline in their driving routine.

Market forces ensure that charging spots will be located in spots where people want to stop and spend money on food, drinks, bathroom breaks. This is what already happens with Tesla's charging network.

These habits will change once people organically get to experience the better driving experience that a properly engineered EV gives.
Facebook Messenger “Expose Unfriends” Bug
Adobe wasn't 64-bit clean at the time that Apple announced they would be deprecating 32-bit binary compatibility. At the very least, Apple forced Adobe to update their DRM to something that didn't require running 32-bit code.
And that’s the whole part about downloading the DRM free music you bought and keeping a local backup.

I did it once. Here are the important things:

Screen the people you work with very closely. You might have the best startup idea, but if they just can't do their part, the time you invest in them takes away from your productivity. Sometimes someone you like is best in an unequal relationship.

Pay close personal attention to the business (selling) side earlier than you want to. You don't have to sell your demo, like some people do, but you want to get a good feel for how your product fits into the market before you spend lots of time working on a dud.

In my case, I spent too much time working with someone who wasn't the right person to work with. If I had spent some time early on selling, instead of relying on my cofounder to do all the selling, my idea might have gone somewhere. Ironically, I believe that, if I found customers before I partnered with my co-founder, the business would have been a success.
My prediction:

Two days later: Apple reinstates ROC flag emoji in HK apps just like the U-turn they did with HKmap.live
My dad is a native English speaker living in Italy. When he uses Google maps navigation while driving, the robo-voice absolutely butchers the pronunciation of street names, towns, everything. You'd think the software would be smart enough to use the local language instead of the phone's locale for such things. More than half of the world's population speaks more than one language - we need to get better at building software that accounts for that.
Mojave was a frustrating experience for me until I bit the bullet and did a clean install and remigrated my stuff. I doubt I'll do another in place upgrade again.
Learning How to Prove: From the Coq Proof Assistant to Textbook Style
For someone who is completely ignorant to what is going on with Taiwan / Hong Kong / China… What's the quickest way to get up to speed from a "neutral?" source?
Not PS, but I use Affinity Designer now rather than Illustrator, and it is awesome. I love it.
Huh. Seems crazy to me; the soften and sustain pedals always seemed to be mutually exclusive (maybe not mechanically per se, but the pianos I've played on never seemed to allow both softened and sustained notes). Maybe it's just a feature of sufficiently fancy pianos (the "fanciest" on which I've ever played were baby grands in high school band classrooms).

But yeah, even a button press or screen swipe should be easy enough to be useful in all but the most extreme cases (and in those cases a combination of memorization and automatic turning (e.g. tied to a metronome) could help further).
Sounds like the software was effectively already dead and it was best to move off it as soon as it became clear there was only one developer and they were hard to get hold of. The problem isn't with macOS.
This app supposedly lists all 32 bit apps:

Another way of looking at that might be, developer of pro audio apps are notoriously bad at preparing their apps for new OS releases.
The US government cares not.
Actually, in a spooky way RMS _does_ look like Hemsworth in the last Avengers film.
That's fair, I didn't realize that.

However, I think it's worth asking, who was that hurting? Users certainly aren't going to notice, and license activation isn't performance-critical code.
> It's a supreme court decision that is allowing Amazon to do this.

No, it's federal law which allows Amazon to do this.

The Supreme Court's role is not to act as a kind of super-legislature, creating and changing laws at whim: its role is to adjudicate disputes as to what the actual letter of the law requires given the facts of specific cases.
I think both of those statements are true. They do try to manipulate their users, and the listings you see on Booking.com have a lot of content too!
Yes. Tricky thing is plywood uses veneers (very thin pieces) because wood expands at about a 10x different rate in width versus length, so cross-laminated joints can be subject to an incredible amount of stress. The thin veneers cannot develop enough stress to break the glue joint.
Do it. :)

Innovation is not inevitable.
I think it would be more accurate to say "deviate from R's typical use."

I use Rscript all the time. I was taught to use it by one of R's developers. While not typical, it is absolutely an "intended" use case.

Amazing. I had to dive into the 4th page of Google results to get something Catalina Island related, e.g. https://www.catalinaconservancy.org

Zillow is not making a very convincing argument here. Seems like a wild guess at best.
I agree. But I'd also argue that it's based on how you're using the tools you're given (or what others have given you).

Pretty much the argument of using apply vs for loops. Most of the time, apply is going to be significantly more computationally efficient. However, some people think of the problem in different context than others, and if it works for them then it works.
I’m glad they called it Apple Music to avoid confusion: iTunes is stuff you own, Apple Music is a rental library.
> What does Apple or the users gain from removing 32-bit?

> Nobody wants to carry support for both 32- and 64-bit forever.

Support means money and developer time, no one wants to waste money unless they really have to. In this case they don't have to, because everyone should have already updated whatever they use that was first made only for 32bit to 64bit.

imho the actual blame lies on whoever have resisted moving to 64bit(again mostly because of money).
> So on forums I get called "she".

Sounds like something a woman would say. Are you sure you're a man?

Note: I don't think this is an appropriate way to talk to folks -- but if your actual position is that it's totally okay to misgender everybody, then let's explore that. I've met lots of folks who claim that it's harmless, but typically it breaks down after I start treating them the way that I get treated on a near-daily basis.
Also, macOS has a lot of system libraries that do IPC to either system daemons or kernel drivers, where the library exposes a stable API/ABI, but where the IPC interface itself has absolutely zero stability guarantees. This is because the library and the daemon/driver are developed together as part of the same codebase; users are expected to upgrade them in lockstep as part of an OS update, and to always use the library to talk to the daemon/driver rather than reimplementing the IPC yourself. This way, the developers only have to manage one stable interface (the library) rather than two (the library as well as the IPC interface). But that means you can’t just freeze the version of the library and expect it to work with newer daemons/drivers. In theory Apple could change course and decide that all system IPC interfaces must be kept stable starting now, but that would be really annoying, and probably more work than just continuing to update the 32-bit libraries.

(This even applies to the base Unix system calls. Go previously did syscalls by hand but recently switched to dynamically linking against libSystem and using its wrappers, because they’re the only guaranteed-stable interface.)
Instead of having to configure potentially tens of different site-to-site VPN connections to connect every site to your head office where you controller is located, you're hosting it on the internet which makes implementation easier.

I would never ever trust a Ubiquiti product being open on the internet though - especially their software products. Too many issues with their firmware on their "carrier"-classed radios, as well as buggy integration with UNMS makes me a bit wary.
> Taiwan should block shipments to Apple of whatever parts are made there that Apple needs.

Taiwan unfortunately needs to be careful. China is just waiting for provocation strong enough to justify an invasion. Would that be it? Maybe, maybe not.

> - NN is not a cost regulation as far as I know. It's preventing companies from doing something, not requiring them to do anything extra.

This is not actually true. NN was a new thing that was added relatively recently that will require ISPs to basically bankroll the infrastructure for companies like Google/Netflix/Amazon etc. Especially ISPs that don't have Google/Netflix/Amazon as customers. These companies increase the bandwidth going over the ISPs networks to a subset of the ISPs customers. The ISPs either need to force all customers to pay by raising rates among all customers, adding data caps, or throttling data rates in peak times, if NN is in play. If NN is not in play then they can require that the content providers (Google/Netflix/Amazon/etc) pay for the increased data from these providers. The ones most at risk in a non-NN world are the tech giants that want to use the web as a the location applications reside (and they ran a very effective marketing campaign to convince average folks to believe that it would harm them).

If they are regulated as "common carriers" then that means they can't bill the source of the data for the data. This is a very bad trend that will just increase the cost of internet.
