I recently finished reading Allen Carr's book "Good Sugar Bad Sugar: Eat yourself free from sugar and carb addiction". He's written a number of books to overcome many types of addiction and has clinics to help people with drug addiction. In the book he makes a compelling case that sugar is addictive and has similarities to other addictive things such as smoking, drugs, caffeine, etc.

It's really changed my perspective of sugar.

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.

Perhaps Amazon should have clarified the sentence as "We strongly support the rights of legal immigrants and immigration reform." Then it wouldn't be incongruous.
No, but you are using the same phraseology, "core part of China" that China uses to claim Tibet, Taiwan, the South China Sea, Xinjiang, etc.

Is this true? I'm not an Elm user yet, but I've been eyeing it and my understanding was that there was interop:

It'd be a big deal if that weren't there -- FP stuff I may or may not be used to? Bring it on. Stretch my CS knowledge? Cool. No 3P libraries? That'd make it wrong for a lot of use cases.
It probably depends what you measure. How do you scale up to a meet a relatively quick increase in demand? Will you lose customers during that time and how does that factor into your costs?

I think, at least for some business types, colocation will usually be more expensive because you have to overprovision or risk losing customers.
You're refusing to see my heuristic as what it is; a scoring function. As I said above: put it in a wargame simulator like civilization. You only get so many societal resources to invest in your new technology development; only so many smart people to go around. Which would you rather have? A-bombs or iphones?

FWIIW, the US achieved all its goals in the Korean war, and persisted them to the present day, despite the Norks being supported by the Soviets as the North Vietnamese were. Had congress not decided to pull the plug on the South Vietnamese in 1975, there'd probably be two Vietnams as well.

Unions are a legitimate business activity by people who sell their labor. They are forming business associations to negotiate better terms company or industry wide in order to improve the efficacy of their market position.

Union suppression is anti-free market.
Some things aren’t black or white. Lots of things are complicated and necessitate compromise. Leaving out a stance on unions as others mentioned, is... interesting.

There has basically only ever been one major API shift, which was the shift away from Variables. And, granted, that happened from 0.3->0.4, about a year after the initial release.

Other than that, I've had next to no issues, and the API has only gotten better over time, with more convenient ways to do things.

PyTorch has a much smaller footprint, and is happy to delegate code to separate libraries (e.g. torchvision), so you run into "all-or-nothing" dilemmas less frequently.
I've replaced nozzles on my gas containers, and added vents. Kit cost $7 to refit 2 containers. I also use them to fill my old old car fuel tank which is behind the license plate on the lower half of the bumper. Modern gas container nozzles used on this type of filler leave about 50% on the ground.
macOS runs on Darwin, which is a BSD derivative. There’s no Linux involved at any level as far as I know. Also, cron is a standard Unix tool that predates Linux by at least a couple of decades I think.
Based on Apple's recent history I'm sure Jony Ive would lament how Catalina didn't make the computer 0.1mm thinner.

I don't understand this utopianist view. Yes, I would like to see oil companies go away but we can't switch off our oil dependency like a light. Whether we like it or not, literally the entire world runs on oil in some capacity and we don't have the ability to wean ourselves off it in the immediate term.

So we should ensure that oil companies have the best technology available to maximize efficiency and minimize the chances of catastrophic environmental disasters (which are almost always the direct result of a technological deficiency) while simultaneously working on the technology and policy that will allow us to minimize our oil dependence in the long term.
True, and that is my definition. I'm no Jack Reacher.
Could you do a comparison of why using QT js instead of electron/ionic?
Can I just say how happy I am with Xfce. It's a Linux desktop environment that looks like in the early 2000s. It's fast. There are no unnecessary frills. It just gets the job done. Its release cycles are measured in several years, and keep it minimal. I used to be on Windows, then macOS, then Ubuntu and now this. As a developer with soon to be 20 years of experience, it's the best environment I've had.

> I don’t know why 25 seconds is hard to believe.

Because it's 2.5 kilowatt blower making 78 dB of noise, according to the technical spec under that link. With these parameters, you should be able to dry your hands in 5 seconds while keeping them a meter away. Like with the one I mentioned seeing in that McDonald's, which was AFAIR rated at something around 1.2 kW (and I remember thinking that's already impressive for a hand dryer).

> Slow blowing warm air isn’t going to dry that off in 5 seconds.

But fast blowing, slightly less warm air would.

I was subtly suggesting that the reason may be what 'carlmr mentioned in a parallel reply - maybe people don't shake off the water after washing their hands, preferring instead to both waste their time at the dryer and add work to the cleaning stuff that now has extra water to mop off the floor?

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but Catalina is letting me login without entering my password!

I have two users on my machine.

1. I "lock screen" from the Apple menu and close the lid.
2. I reopen the lid and it does not ask for password.
3. I start using laptop and lock screen suddenly pops up, but asks password for the wrong user.
4. I hit random key and the screen goes away, and i can continue working.

Also, it looks like a lot of settings don't work on the lock screen / choose user screen. For instance, the pointer speed doesn't match what I have set, font sizes don't match either, and the resolution looks wrong.

It's fascinating how many of these boil down to "We know we do terrible things. Somebody really ought to stop us!"
We've found that graph-based community approaches have some really nice benefits in our bioinformatics data.

In particular, we have found that these approaches seem to preserve very small cluster structure "better" than traditional approaches. Meaning, we have a small group of cells that we know belong to their own cluster group and the graph-based community approaches preserve these "small" groups outside of other clusters nicely.

But we have also noticed (and had some feedback) that we windup with final modularity scores that are very high - greater than or equal to 0.90 (on a scale of -1 to 1). Applied math folks in the graph algorithms world kind of seem to look at that and go "eh, that is so high you should probably just do PCA and move on . . . "

Especially given that you could (and people seem to) use UMAP as a precursor to louvain methods, I'll probably be looking into UMAP to see how it goes. But our current performance bottleneck is that the clustering (or community approach of graphs with the louvain method) is our computational bottleneck, so we'd like to whittle that runtime down as much as possible.

Obviously if your energy needs are reduced and your potential energy production remains equal, then your personal energy autonomy becomes easier.

That does not mean there is no difference in where that budget reduction comes from. AC is typically active when it is hot, usually when there is lots of PV potential. You are using more energy when your own energy production is higher.

Suppose you do not have AC but instead electric heaters, then it is reversed. You are requiring more energy when your own production is lower.

So even if your total energy budget would be the same, the former scenario would involve less strain than the latter on energy autonomy because of how consumption would correlate in time with production or not.

From the grid's macro perspective, in an environment without much AC (or other appliances following the same consumption pattern), it has to potentially absorb (or refuse) much more energy delivered to it when demand is lower, while being able to still satisfy demand when it peaks and supply potential is reduced.

At that grid level scope, widespread AC usage, even though in aggregate using far more energy and thus net negative, might be easier to smooth out demand wise and thus easier to satisfy.
Frankly, it sounds like Gaza. Walled off, restricted rights, told they can "just leave" to places that aren't safe or welcoming, etc. Sure, there are permanent buildings, water/electricity sometimes, etc., theoretically some self-determination, but it's still a crowded, dismal refugee camp with little hope of improvement for its residents.
I just posted about recent changes we made in the Bazel JavaScript layer. It's easier to migrate now that you can continue running whatever tools with the same config as Maven is doing. For example, if the `ts_library` rule doesn't work for you, it's possible to just use `tsc` (with the caveat as you point out, it will be slower)
https://dev.to/jakeherringbone/layering-in-bazel-for-web-389...

That, combined with Maven->Bazel being a common migration path for Java project, should mean that your costs to change are incremental.

Another benefit for large projects is test execution time. If you can parallelize all your testing on a farm of machines you can bring your CI time down by an order of magnitude.

It takes me seconds to find a parking spot. The parking lot is large and right there, I could park in the farthest away spot and be inside in less than a minute. I live in a detached single family home and have a garage, so I don't have to find parking at home.

Again, I'm not saying it's not viable, but in many cases the "advantages" aren't there.

Note: this is in a suburb of a major US city. There is plenty of space, all single family homes, US-like supermarket.

Edit: added note about city.
I suspect they'll sell a binary if all you want to do is develop apps in swift, and that they have a bootstrapping system to compile the compiler, like every other native compiler.

Apple is one of the wealthiest because people buy their products. No other reason. Before people started buying iphones, Apple had near to zero power. If they stop doing that, they'd not have power to restrict people's choices again. Hong Kong people are risking lives for freedom. Are US people ready to risk not having the latest greatest iphone, or maybe they don't need that damn freedom that much?

And we already see what government with laws created to restrict and punish behavior can do. Of course, our government will never do that, we know they'd always use their immense powers responsibly and for the good of the people, right? Right?!
I was not aware the desire for freedom (of speech, and otherwise) was such a uniquely Western ideal.

And it's easy not to care about it - until its absence is used against you. At that point, it changes from an ideal, to a very pragmatic matter (ask the Uyghurs or Tibetans). But by then it's too late.

No, they still don't have access to the encryption keys, as reported after those articles you post:

"Encryption for us is the same in every country in the world...We worked with a Chinese company to provide iCloud, but the keys [...] are ours...I wouldn't get caught up in 'where's the location of it,' I mean we have servers located in many different countries in the world. They're not easier to get data from being in one country versus the next...The key question is how does the encryption process work, and who owns the keys — if anyone. In most cases for us, you and the receiver [of a message] own the keys." - Tim Cook

(https://www.businessinsider.com/tim-cook-apple-encrypts-data...)

Apple is specifically stating that they have retained control over the encryption keys.

> I wonder if that's working for them as a core selling point. Does having an open firmware really steer people into buying one of these laptops?

I can only speak for myself, but I was thinking of getting a Galago Pro around a month and a half ago, and got cold feet because it wasn't quite as open as I wanted it to be. I ended up waiting because I don't need a new dev laptop yet.

This announcement has cemented that I'm going to get one, although I'm going to wait for a bit to let their first users of the new firmware work out the bugs. ;) System76 has a really good reputation for QA, so I'm sure it will be a quick process.

It's my impression that System76 is genuinely committed to free (libre) software, but have pragmatically balanced that with a commitment to creating a high-quality product. As other have said, I want a plug and play Linux experience. Ideally it would be completely libre, but none of the completely libre options out there are good enough (particularly, with hardware integration) for me to justify the loss in productivity. This is a good almost-completely-libre option which fits my needs.
Seems to just be that System76 laptops to date are all based on Clevo designs and Clevo does not make any laptops with AMD chips.
