Apple has been(quietly) in the batteries business for a long time becoming number 1 user in the entire world for a long time.

An ipad, an iphone, a macbook. What do they have in common? They have batteries on it and sell in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year.

The most expensive thing in an electric car is batteries. The hardest thing to manufacture and get supplies for(cobalt and lithium mainly).

Apple already have lots of expertise in the area.

Dyson also sells batteries, because cordless vacuum cleaners use lots of batteries. And also have lots of experience in efficient , extremely powerful electronic motors.

Electric cars are extremely simple compared with ICEs.

I don't really get into this argument anymore - I'm convinced opinions like this are held tighter than religion or politics.

Here are a few thoughts, written by others, that I would probably bring up if I wanted to get into this argument:

As a point of reference, I run a company that brokers terabytes of mission critical data each month for our customers. I've advised dozens of companies on how to properly ensure scheduled jobs are maintainable, instrumented, logged, and reliable. The defenses I've heard for "professional" software and systems engineers using cron in production software are appalling and I find the behavior negligent and to be a terminable offense.
Thanks. I'm aware of Raptor CS. I was hoping System76 might offer some competition.

As much as this seems like a foreign concept to westerners, most Chinese citizens (outside of the European provinces) simply do not care about it the way westerners do.

To GP's point, their lives have and continue to improve, with the fastest growing middle class this decade. And before you project western ideals on China and start doomsaying about their impending economic collapse, understand that people have been saying that for a decade too.
I've had both a decently priced Miele and a Dyson barrel vacuum before (can't remember the model numbers now, this was a while ago) and when dealing with pets and my wife's hair the Dyson wins hands down. The Miele clogged horribly. I guess it depends on what you're vacuuming, but I'd try Miele again.

Now I have a Dyson V-8 cordless and it works fine. It runs long enough to vacuum the whole house and a bit more and is more convenient than anything corded.

I never said the article said that. So what's your point?

I have had no issues so far, and I like the permissions requirements as they are allowing at least some privacy improvement.

Funny that everyone complains about privacy invasion but then also complains when the needed permissions to protect privacy are introduced.

Do you have a source for that? The data at [0] indicates that chicken is about 50% worse than rice in terms of CO2e per Calorie. In fact, chicken is worse than every vegan food listed there except for broccoli, which has very few Calories to begin with.

Then you've identified the "real investors" who are exactly the class I'm talking about. If money is more important, and the cost to society less important, in their value system, they are as much a part of the problem as the actual perpetrators that they're paying.

A conflict of interest indicates that you have a choice between two goals. Choose money, and you've lost my respect. And business, when it comes down to that.
Interesting, almost all of these issues are social issues (LGBT rights, immigration policy, etc), but third from the bottom they slipped this in: "Counterfeiters should receive stronger penalties under federal law." and go on to talk about how bad counterfeiting is for americans.

Or maybe it's time to get off Macs for good.

At least don't try to use the version of Linux under MacOS as a Linux system. The OP is running cron jobs and Python in the background, and changes in the Apple security environment broke them. If you need to run Linux stuff, put it on a real Linux system.
Look, don't get me wrong, cron is a super useful tool for doing system-level tasks on a schedule but "grep a timestamp and run a program if it matches" is practically the definition of "doesn't scale."

Unless you code it yourself in your program cron doesn't...

- understand dependencies

- run jobs across multiple hosts

- handle errors (e.g. if err run this)

- do any branching whatsoever

- handle timespecs with more granularity than 1m

- do any reporting (mail counts-ish but if you're telling me you have an email based automation flow I won't believe you)

- do any metrics collection

- run pools of jobs

- understand priorities

- allow you to queue jobs

The value prop of things like airflow is that they factor all this logic out of your applications. At the point where you need these things "run a thing at a specific time" is the most trivial part.
What about non-monorepos? At my company we have quite a few large-ish projects (consisting of ~5 published artifacts, LoC doesn't matter for my question, but maybe 100k per project?), but the problem is that we want different organizations to have access to different subsets of our projects... so we don't have a mono-repo?

It it possible to do some sort of conglomeration where we could bazel-all-the-things and still publish separate artifacts (jar's, deb's, etc.) for different purposes?
Anybody have any first hand anecdotal accounts about this? What device do you use?
I have. From that wiki article, paper mills account for less than 1% of GHGs globally. Also, the most hazardous chemical effluent is dioxins, which have seen major reductions globally within the pulp and paper industry because the industry has switched to processes that use much less chlorine.
This is only popular here in HN because of japan. A lot of countries have used non-plastic paper for ages. But the ah always so mysterious japan makes it seem so interesting.
This airblade hand drier design nonsense has to stop. I was at a hotel in Miami some time ago and they had these airblade style drivers integrated into the water tap, like bars sticking out on either side, right over the sink. I took one look at it and went “nope, that’s terrible design; water’s going to spray everywhere.” As I’m leaving the guy who came up after me yells of a very annoyed “god damnit” as water sprays all over his blue shirt.

Whoever designed that really shouldn’t be designing things.

Pytorch Mobile release today - https://pytorch.org/mobile/home/
(no ebike here though, normal bike only)

"My local grocery store is less than a mile away on city streets. There is no way an ebike is faster than my car."

as i don't have private parking at home a bike is a lot faster, as the overhead of getting to the car before and finding a parking spot + getting back home afterwards is huge.

furthermore i can take a more direct route with my bike (may or may not apply to others), i'm more nimble and can thus get around obstacles and i don't get stuck in traffic jams.

so for a single trip, from door to door, a bike is a lot faster for me than the car.

on the other hand, i actually go shopping almost every day; i mostly buy only as much as i can fit into my back pack. as i have shopped this way for the last 20 years i don't even know where i'd put perishables for a week; i buy, i cook, i eat. that said, i'm a remote worker and i welcome the opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise during the day

For it’s successor we chose Pytorch instead of TF 2 and have been very happy with this decision

> As an aside, I really can't understand why people are so enthusiastic about Dyson products - I find them to be poor to use and poor performers.

A few family/friends had Dyson vacuums over the years - always worked pretty good but failed frequently. Generally they grew to dislike Dyson products based on those experiences. I now have a perception of low reliability towards Dyson products as a result.

However, many of the same friends/family (years later) now have Dyson stick vacuums and swear by them.

> Dyson hand dryers in public toilets don't dry your hands in the claimed 10 seconds, they take about the same time as any other dryer, and usually lead to wet washroom floors as they blow the water all over the place.

Does that mean you'll soon need to have Swift to compile the Swift compiler? How many versions back do they want to support for bootstrapping?
We already have economic conscription, and it's worked wonderfully for the military as long as there are enough young poor people with no other options.

Even 100 cigarettes per person in a day is not believable least 5000 - people did not smoke more than 10 packs per hour in 1960 or ever.
Op writes “can be faster”, not “is faster”. In densely populated neighborhoods, cycling can certainly be faster than driving a car.

Also: how long does it take you to find a parking spot for your car at the grocery? How far from the shop is it, on average? Do you have to find a parking spot at home, too?

And a double bag on the back of a bike can easily hold 50 liters. That’s quite a bit of shopping.

I would adjust my AWS service limits to prevent scaling past a certain number of instances. Set the limit to serve enough hypothetical users to demonstrate the demo is successful but prevents you from going bankrupt (better to load shed extra users than to end up with a bill you can't pay). If there is no number of instances that fits that criteria, I would consider rearchitecting to be cost conscious (I've heard positive things about Lambda-based services for keeping costs down).

GPL virality does not apply backward from app to platform. There are loads of GPL apps on Windows and on Mac outside the app store.
I'd guess that the economic value on the table in industrial controls is just not that high. It's a mature, stable, slow-moving market. The growth parts have to do with "IoT" and "Cloud," not so much the embedded side.

Gaming has similar-ish needs but is famously oversupplied.

Quant finance pays really well, though.
I hate that I can relate. There are times where it seems like I need Herculean energy to shop + cook a meal. Not to mention, doing so removes one of the only events I look forward to (pizza, ice cream, etc).
They did it in two steps. Apple forced users to opt into storing iCloud data in Chinese data centers, and then the Chinese Government nationalized the data centers six month later.
What exchange account? -- yes, many (IMO foolish) users keep coins in exchanges, many don't. :)

Doesn't matter, only that you use an exchange for the guidance to apply. If you receive the coins directly, this guidance isn't really relevant.

So I guess you'd take the position that if you got access to the coins at the instant of the fork, when there is no FMV yet, then you'd report $0 income and have a $0 cost basis. Otherwise, if your access was delayed and there was a FMV, you'd treat that as income and it would become your cost basis?

Yes, correct. If the forkcoin is worth $X at the time of receipt, you are taxed on $X income because your cost basis at the time is $0. But because you were taxed on $X, your cost basis is set to $X.
Python and cron are not unique to nor did they originate in Linux. They should be expected to work on all Unix derivatives including BSD and macOS.
Next time you can push for explicit password quality requirements and something like 2FA instead of violating people's privacy and weakening their security at the same time. (Can you imagine anyone reused personal passwords?) This eagerness to apply fun tools in the workplace is in large part what built the heinous surveillance apparatus that's probably going to kill a lot of people as soon as a sufficiently strong-willed fascist takes control again. Richard Stallman has called this "Stalin's dream", but ironically he was also recently Cancelled for ridiculous allegations of sexual misconduct and wrong-think, so perhaps this allusion is not sufficiently powerful for this audience anymore. A shame if so.
System76 has been so great for the Linux laptop community, thank you for your work on that! I got the Galago Pro this past holiday and it has been so perfect for me. :) I hope you guys continue to offer such a great range in hardware configurations. That's what convinced me to go for one of your laptops over the Razer/Dell products since their RAM limit was 16GB when I was shopping around.
I am almost always against more government regulation and firmly believe in the power of our collective wallets.

That being said, I try to hear out other viewpoints because it’s entirely possible that I am wrong. So, tell me, what law would fix this situation? A law that forces tech corporations to allow free speech? Or a law that forces companies to put ethics before profits? I genuinely don’t know what law we could make that would address the issue while also being fair and enforceable. It seems a lot easier to get the people to rally behind a boycott than to get legislators to have a good idea and actually act upon it.
Atheros chipsets tend to not require any non-free code (be it on the driver or firmware side), including their USB wifi dongles. I've had mediocre (at best) experiences with them, however, what with frequent stability and signal strength issues on what I'm pretty sure to be the hardware side (though I've found this is true of pretty much every wifi chipset out there, so I guess it's okay relatively-speaking).
>> don't try to use the version of Linux under MacOS

MacOS is based on Unix not Linux.
However, I mostly agree with your sentiment and would extend it to “use the right tool for the job”. Use launchd (although I hear it is on the way out) instead of Cron etc.
> We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform

But also

> Governments at all levels—federal, state, and local—should have access to the best technology

So, we support the rights of immigrants to not be abused, but we'd like to continue making a buck selling tech to agencies directly responsible for that abuse.

Similarly,

> Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors

But but but!

> The energy industry should have access to the same technologies as other industries

Amazon even openly brags about how awesome their tech is for extracting that sweet, sweet oil: https://aws.amazon.com/oil-and-gas/

Its hilarious (and sad) how this position piece outlines what Amazon claims to believe, and simultaneously explains why they're going to keep doing things that directly contradict those stated beliefs. It's an insult to your intelligence as a reader.

If you want a BSD system, run {Free,Net,Open,Dragonfly}BSD. You can do it on cheaper and better hardware than Apple offers. It just might not look as stylish, but who cares? T-series Thinkpads have better keyboards than Macbooks, and you can still get a used T60 for less than a hundred bucks. (More recent models will cost more, but you'd be shocked at what you can do with a T60 once you get a new battery, max out the RAM, and replace the HDD with a SSD.)
Latest possible boomer is early 60's. I took pretty much smack dab in the middle of the boomers. Millennial starts in what, '81-82? so about 16-20 years between, which is generation X. The earliest possible boomer is early 50's when the latest millennial is born. The latest possible boomer is 19 when the earliest millennial is born.
It's not a secret. Apple even made a statement to reuters at the start of the migration process where they tried to get iCloud as an exception but failed - "“While we advocated against iCloud being subject to these laws, we were ultimately unsuccessful,”

In early 2018, Apple forced their users to opt-in to migrating iCloud encryption keys and data to Chinese data centers:

Chinese government nationalized the data centers six months later, gaining access to all the encryption keys and user iCloud data at rest. Apple complied:

I've been programming in C and C++ for a long time and so I got the answer to the quiz right. This kind of looseness in the language definition is why embedded programmers learn to stick to the fixed-size integer types, like uint8_t, int16_t, etc., defined in <stdint.h>

This doesn't fully solve the issues related to integer promotion, I think, but if you specify uint8_t, and there isn't an underlying type that exactly matches that size, the compiler should tell you, and you can re-think what you are doing (or, more likely, whether you want to continue to try to work with that toolchain and platform).
Thank you! I read that page, but I guess I didn't read it properly.

> The meaning seems pretty clear. It's like the GPL but distribution now also encompasses offering the software over the network in the form of a service.

Agree.

> What's less clear is what defines the boundaries between AGPL-licensed software and the rest of your stuff making up whatever you're offering. This isn't always 100% clear with the GPL either but the GPL meaning of distribution is pretty tightly tied to traditional Unix methods of combining code which are mostly unambiguous.

Agree again.

See my point? I don't say AGPL is bad only that it has a tendency to confuse developers in all directions.
