Perhaps, if you're prioritizing access to hordes of tourists.
You are correct that such fears aren't terribly practical. Human beings in fact aren't terribly reasonable about what they are concerned about.

They bike to work, smoke a cig, and then worry about a Muslim terrorist blowing them up.

Unfortunately people aren't reasonable and our prosperity is partly based on resources and partly based on sucking in a lot of smart people from elsewhere to further enrich the nation we built with said resources and this shitty marketing could easily damage the second ultimately more important source of our prosperity.

I do blind type but I love the Touch Bar. There are many CAD programs that I use approximately monthly and I can never remember which F keys does what exactly. In my office I have cheat sheets on the wall but when out of office having icons makes using those applications much better.
They are fragile as fuck. Literally I dropped one three inches onto the carpet and the screen went pop. Also it slowly bent over time in my bag.

This replaced a 2010 MBP which caught fire after I spilled a drink next to it. The case sucks spilled liquids up like a straw!

I use a T470 thinkpad now. It cost less than a replacement screen for a 15” rMBP did! I have literally beaten the shit out of it for months and it just shrugs it off. I also had a T440 which was abused heavily and shrugged it off.

I had an X220 I poured a coffee in and nothing interesting happened too.

Stay with the thinkpads if you’re an idiot like me.

I've been using Syncthing for years: https://syncthing.net/

It's entirely P2P, so no 3rd party hosting of your files, no trusting someone's crypto/update schemes, or having to set up your own servers (although you still can easily add it to a VPS if you want offsite). There's also a nice mobile app:

You can also securely share directories with another person who uses Syncthing, I've found autosync directories are easier than using something like Airdrop for sharing photos with family.
> Having a middleman hold the publisher's monetization hostage is ethically dubious for the middleman.

I think that's why they went with a cryptocurrency for payment. Brave isn't a middleman, or at least there's no technical reason why they have to be. Users pay publishers directly, using tokens that they earn from Brave in exchange for viewing ads.
Here's the link to the Two Minute Papers video if anyone else is curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sR1rU3gLzQ
But nobody is holding anything hostage. When you use Brave, you can opt-in to display ads on your Browser, and while doing so still get ads from Brave. So the choice to cut-off ads from the content publisher is yours. If you think it's unethical - just do not block the ads.

A diamond is primarily an engagement stone, not a wedding stone. The wedding nets you community property, worth even more than a diamond.

Traditional simulations don’t translate well. Usually one has to choose a fidelity level; controls, navigation, exploration, mission, etc… We are having more success with models that can tolerate variable dynamics. Simulations don't need to be realistic, only consistent. We then reinforce models with an infinite number of simulation universes and rules, such that reality is just another sample. We don’t have the resources for end-to-end training, and our initial tests did not yield good results. But chaining smaller specific-purpose networks within traditional control and planning systems is looking really good.

Ask my mom how poorly her doctors informed her of all available treatment options at three hospitals. When I contacted Mayo Clinic asking for other options (when she was declared out of them) they had a long, long list.

Ask my mom why she was given Lorazepam, Oxy, and Seroquel in an effort to manage her nicotine fits, even against FDA warnings (classified as most severe) which said it's very dangerous to administer all three together. They did it anyway, to my frail, sick, 60LB mother. The result? She almost went into respiratory arrest and was in a coma-like state for 48 hours. When I brought this to their attention they said they didn't know it was an issue.

I could write a book about how frequently the system failed my mother. The medical system in the US isn't designed for care. Ask any medical professional what they think and they'll overwhelmingly agree.

Unfortunately, you can't ask my mom because she died two weeks ago after suffering from PCNSL for 5 years. I spent the last 5 years of my life fighting her disease alongside her. I spent 69 of her last 75 days with her for at least 8 hours each day. I would hardly consider myself ill-informed. Instead, I would call you an ill-informed moron, and my mom would call you an duplicitous asshole.

Now that I think about this more, if you are right, then why don't the Mac Pros come with a touchbar keyboard? Video and photo editing are probably the primary uses for the Mac Pro.
I thought CCPA was California's GDPR, but it seems to offer consumers very little protection.

CCPA does not restrict the collection or processing of personal data for marketing purposes. You can't even opt-out. Companies like BounceX will still be able to deanonymize 40% of consumer web visitors for direct marketing. You can only opt-out from your data being sold. And how are you supposed to know when a company is selling your data? The company is not required to tell you – you have to ask.

GDPR the other hand is entirely opt-in. Companies cannot collect or process personal information unless given explicit consent. And that's a big deal – the rate of consent is so low that many marketing projects have a negative ROI and companies stop working on them.

Enforcement will likely be weak. CCPA introduces civil penalties so consumers can sue companies, or join class action suits, but it will be difficult for a consumer to know when a business is violating CCPA, so this will be rare. California's AG can bring action, but there isn't a very strong incentive for them to do so with the exception of high-profile, politicized cases.
I don't know if it's so much about the money as it is something that she just... wanted. I'm Indian so its custom to gift the bride a lot of gold. She eschewed that happily in favor of a diamond ring that cost a fraction of the gold she was offered otherwise.

Wearing Out an SSD
The article includes a chart from McKinsey showing what company users would trust more to handle their finances. Amazon is number one, Google is two, Apple is just behind Google, and Facebook is dead last.

I can sort of understand putting Amazon first, though I personally wouldn’t, but I can’t imagine rating Google ahead of Apple. Apple isn’t perfect at services, but I would definitively trust it over Google with my money.

As it stands, Google already has so much information on me, I’ll be damned if I would ever put my checking account into that. No. Just no.
For VSCode, I think that Microsoft is introducing extensions for specific MS services. For exmaple, you can run ML experiminets directly from VSCode.

I would expect VSCode to slowly become azure services UI.

For GitHub, Look at the steps from the acquisition forward. For example, github actions is a CI/CD run on azure. Next step would be a gitops service that will integrate with AKS. Etc.

Yep - I have mine set to be control if pressed with other keys, and escape if pressed alone. Works for everything except if I'm playing a videogame that uses ctrl to crouch.

Other people argue that all real vimmers use ctrl-[ instead of escape.

Edit: This is on a 2015 macbook pro, that still has the physical function keys. I almost never use the physical escape key, just capslock instead.

> All I want to know is who is the target audience for this?

I imagine these pages are intended for someone who's interested in Go but wants to know more. I know plenty of people who base their decision entirely on what companies have had the most success when picking a programming language to learn. I think these pages satisfy the questions of "Who uses Go? What do they use it for? What did their success look like afterward?"

The package explorer does add some confusion for me though. The site otherwise seems entirely geared toward people who are curious about Go.

I really liked how snappy it felt, and how minimalistic the thread view is. It's hard to put in words but it feels like a combination of many other software I've seen, but that it hits a sweet spot.

I'm currently building a BB software \in c# .net core for my own use and with plans to OS it, and your site gave me some ideas and made me question some of the choices I've made. I've been adament agains AJAXifying the navigation between pages, but seeing how well it works on NodeBB I am having second thoughts.

It's nice to see Apple fixing their keyboard issues (they don't normally bow to customer pressure).

I just wish they would allow Linux to be installed natively on it (with supported touchbar drivers, etc.).

> You need to have these cutting-edge learning tools to help kids really achieve their best results.

Oh dear. This sounds like a scathing attack towards people who want to save money on a cheap computer rather than "invest" in a MacBook, just for education. Phil must be hard at work with his marketing here, but this makes no sense.

I don't know why on earth I would lend my child a MacBook for school work if I could give them a Chromebook or a cheap Windows machine. Apart from the Google spyware, It does the job for 1/8th of the price.

For education, Chromebooks make sense here, better battery life, to some extent smaller and have good security. They don't need more "cutting edge technology" like MacBooks to learn. In fact Macbooks and Chromebooks both just work, but the latter is significantly cheaper.
I am paying for one-quarter of the 4-bedroom apartment (that is, one bedroom plus shared spaces), which comes in at $950/mo. I am well aware that this is absurdly cheap for the area. Probably part of the discount is from the lack of insulation and also lack of a lease (month-to-month rent, no legally-enforced guarantee that rent won't go up or I won't be kicked out, though the landlord thus far seems like a decent sort and I'm not too worried). I don't know the rate on the other apartments.

There are many buildings of about that size in the neighborhood, though I don't know how they're divided internally, and it would of course be more expensive if you're renting a full house worth. I don't recall the square footage of the apartment.
It turns out developer experience matters.

Docker (the software, not the company) and Stripe are two of the best recent examples of that.
> is lack of a good filesystem

What's wrong with OpenBSD's filesystem?
I agree, a package manager is designed for installing a graph of versioned (effectively immutable) artifacts like a binary or code package. Kubernetes is built to run services, which are not static but continuously running and react to inputs. Services need monitoring and self-healing to ensure they are healthy and operational.

In the future I predict we are moving towards a model where we have ways expressively define configuration (CUE) locally which we push to Kubernetes operators [0] which do the heavy lifting to deploy, monitor, and manage/upgrade a defined service that the operator is responsible for.

Find people doing cool stuff and keep showing up and offering to help until they let you.

Basically my background is software (like everybody else here), but around 2009 or so that started bleeding into hardware via arduino/hackerspaces.

And then that bled into doing some consulting work on large advertising installations (building motor control software for robots, building interfaces etc. Some of the stuff I've worked on has been for SXSW,comic con, and the super bowl).

I got lucky in meeting some really cool people doing really cool stuff at burning man, and they eventually let me help on some lighting and fire effects control stuff. That group then eventually morphed into a group that is also building things for music festivals, and when custom stuff needed to get built for it, I was somebody who could help, and so I got to.

As far as the travelling stuff: that was something a friend of mine was doing, but when she wasn't able to go on a trip, she connected me with her employer, which then led to more jobs etc.

But yeah, basically show up and be nice to people. Offer to help a lot.
Doubt it. Looks like a done deal. I think either the government or a collective of citizens would have to sue on antitrust grounds, which seems reasonable considering they control the entire .org TLD. But other than that, don't see much of a way.

And considering it was controlled entirely by a single entity before, nothing has really changed except the structure of the entity (profit vs non-profit). Technically speaking, I don't think there is a requirement to prove consumer harm from antitrust activity, but I could be wrong. Which would, in theory, make such a case easier to win. Someone who knows a lot more than me on this once told me that requirement was left out of the antitrust laws because it was difficult to prove and there doesn't actually need to be harm to the consumer for their to be harm in general (meaning at least to other competitors). For example, a company can subsidize losses in one line of business with profits from another and keep prices reasonable/competitive in both areas while simultaneously stifling competition in the line of business that's losing money. Consumers still receive a good price but the harm is to the competition, which will cause company bankruptcies down the line and have longer term consequences. It also creates a barrier to entry for any prospective competitors. I think this was the real-world scenario that was used to leave out a requirement of proof of consumer harm. In fact, I also believe they don't even have to technically succeed they just need to merely attempt to monopolize something to be guilty of a felony. But again, since it's just changing hands from one entity to another, that might not fly.

> Will AutoSSL also provide a way for the customer to login and provide them instructions on how they can set up the domain on their side?

Yes, I expose two APIs - add and delete. When your customer adds a domain, you can hit our API to whitelist it. The API responds back with CNAME instructions. Your app just needs to pick it up and display it to the users.
