If I had $1.7b I would not give a shit about the taxes I had to pay because my family would be set for generations no matter what. That's what I don't get about the super rich that obsess over taxes, the insane greed when you could be doing absolutely anything else you wanted to.

It's surprising not to see more examples of implicit rules and dependency resolution in this document. Here's a simple example extracted from http://canonical.org/~kragen/naturaleza/Makefile:

frames=1-80x160.pgm 2-80x160.pgm 3-80x160.pgm 4-80x160.pgm 5-80x160.pgm 6-80x160.pgm 7-80x160.pgm 8-80x160.pgm 9-80x160.pgm

intercalated.pgm: $(frames)
./intercalate.py $(frames) > $@

%.pgm: %.jpg
convert $< $@

%-80x160.jpg: %.jpg
convert -geometry 80x160 -colorspace Gray $< $@

This uses ImageMagick commands to massage the various image files into the desired form without me having to manually invoke the commands image by image. Admittedly, on looking at it, I don't think I got a great deal of dependency-tracking mileage out of make in this case, because the source images weren't actually changing—only the build process was changing, and make doesn't track that (although redo, for example, does.) But in cases where you're dynamically adding new input files, make is super helpful for generating thumbnails or whatever from them. As long as the filenames don't have spaces.

My most immediate work task for the morning is helping a colleague figure out why SCons is failing to build the JNI binding for our project, although the old makefile builds it fine. Sigh.
I must say the way you wrote this submit is very impressive. It has some honestly interesting content. I love to read articles and novels. This forum has given me much helpful content. Always keep sharing extra helpful and informative posts. Thanks for this post. It was simply wonderful and interesting. Keep sharing such good posts. Your site is a superb platform to get the top news. https://essayacademia.com/
I'm busy, but it would be nice to see the questionaire, because the supplied example in the article could either signify pity or compassion.
The joke is the explanation not the fact that this issue exists.
Those were great, but having slightly sculpted keytops and longer travel takes an extra 2–3 millimeters of vertical space, which isn’t going to cut it if the #1 goal is for the folded up machine to be as thin as possible.

Sounds I choose let me create my own auditory environment, one that suits how I want to feel. Sounds my co-workers choose, don't.

Ive got in-ear noise cancelling headphones and they're amazing. I often come up for air to hear a debate going on not far from me. Because they're noise cancelling I can set the volume lower than I would otherwise.

Edit: I play music I know well so it doesn't distract. My wife uses rain/wave sounds. White noise would work for others.
Nope, still USB-C :(

Question: Why the focus only at the national level? Why can't a state execute this plan if the costs are reasonable?
I bought the same in 2016. Last year the speakers got fried and since few months back it has started to shut down abruptly. The max time I can use it now is only around 30 mins :(
And this is intentional. Google definitely doesn’t want to be regulated as a bank. It just wants your financial data, so it can send better targeted ads.
I think that to use PHP embedded in HTML documents (the classical way, with <?php ?> tags) is effectively just using mod_php for Apache as your templating/page serving system, right?

I haven't used PHP in many many years, and even then only lightly, so forgive me if this is plain wrong. I do somewhat miss how easy it was to add a small amount of dynamic content to a page in those days without having to drastically alter how anything else worked. I used PHP in a lot of projects without ever really needing to learn it well, much the way I see a lot of web developers 'learn' SQL today. Perhaps that's why so much PHP code back then was a clusterfuck.
I agree! That's why my point was that if you compare the new 16 inch to the previous 15 inch, at the same starting price points -- they aren't all that different. The difference does indeed grow quite large as you reach exorbitant price points.

The old 15.4 inch at $2699.00 (vs. 16 inch at $2399) was also 512GB, 16GB RAM, and 2.6GHz. This is absolutely a modest perf bump -- however it really sucks if you feel like you have to pay this price again for nearly identical specs to really just get the new keyboard. Yes, if you were really hoping for amazing... laptop speakers, then paying full price again may make a lot of sense. But the reality is that for most people (those not spending $6K), this computer is not that much different from the one that already exists, except for the keyboard actually working. My response was for the comment stating surprise that I "just" saw this as a keyboard fix. I stand by my position that this is absolutely the case at most of the reasonable (common?) price points.
Ah, I was expecting you to say something lower level than that. Homebrew is however quite unlike package managers I've used on Linux, and even MacPorts is a little different…I've heard that WSL is pretty decent and presumably APT works on it, though I haven't touched it since it first came out and it was broken in some way that I cared about.

It doesn't look similar to me at all. It's a tool for running commands, while Make is a build system. Make won't always execute all dependencies.
Is the Plantower sensor a very precise one? I'd like to buy an air monitor, but of course there's no way (at least for me) to know which ones are precise and which aren't.

Yeah: it saves space and reduces complexity. A more modular MacBook would almost certainly be missing features or be bigger/thicker.
The original sin for why they are still trying coal is likely the attempt at confederation in doing this state level - which has the end result of vastly disproportionate power to parochial interests which under any sane system would be told to piss off and get a sense of priorities. I am no expert in Australian politics beyond the mindbogglingly stupid IT decisions but I have heard of similar reasons behind their own bad decisions.

The main reason they infrastructure is currently on coal is ironically because they did invest in infrastructure in the past and those decisions are usually best done in advance as funding is spread out over vast periods of time. Needless to say the infastructure became outdated and the advancement wasn't quite as graceful like telecom companies who could make an outright profit during an upgrade by laying down some fiber and ripping out and selling all of their old copper. They do have a counterpart in many cases of 'burn natural gas instead to save money and do it cleaner'.

What did you use to measure? Unfortunately all the ones I've seen linked here are too expensive for someone like me who doesn't live in America. I wonder if there are cheap ones out there that maybe not so precise but at least measure something.

Sure, but if you want seriously powerful hardware, you're simply not getting that in a laptop form factor. A desktop workstation can have power budgets upward of 10x what these can use.
There are probably a lot of people who can and do pay for upgraded machines, and for them 64 GB of RAM or an 8 TB SSD might be reasonable. (OK, I'm not so sure about the 8 TB storage tier…but there are probably a number of people who'd like the higher capacities.)
A Mastiff Undertaking
`sysctl -b kern.boottime` works wonderfully. The output is two 64-bit integers, so the script pipes it through `od -t uI`. I would've liked to use `-t uL` but `od` complains that it's a "bad byte count", so the script has to manually add the two components together. (`-t dL` also raises the same error, even though the man page implies that at least should work. Strange. I did not investigate why.)

It also works for the thermal sysctls - they appear to output 4-byte unsigned integers in deci-Kelvins. Eg 3061 is 306.1 K == 33.0 degrees Celsius.

`netstat ... --libxo json` does work, though parsing JSON from awk isn't trivial either. The best way I can think of is to use `json,pretty` which puts one key-value-pair per line, which I could then filter for the specific keys I want. But it would amount to as much or more effort as the non-JSON parser makes.

pfSense doesn't have `jq` by default but does have `uclcmd`. I got as far as `netstat -I em0 -bin --libxo json | uclcmd get -f - -j '.statistics.interface'` to get an array of JSON objects, but any attempt to apply a transformation to each element of this array (there are no manpages for it online, but its Github readme implies the existence of an `each` function) caused the program to segfault.
What kind of things could be done with those that can't be done now?
The word does seem to be taking on a different meaning as time goes on. People seem to intend for it to mean "care and consideration for the ingroup as I define it." Which is of course, not its actual meaning.

I think that's one possible reading of it. They talk about how they already donated the money from this hack to various resistance movements, so I guess the bounty is being funded from something else.

The bounty works on a sliding scale, according to the manifesto, depending on "the public interest and impact of the material, and the labor required in the hacking."

They go on to say that "I am not trying to enrich anyone. I just want to provide enough funds so that hackers can earn a decent living doing a good job."

I assume that if did have anything to do with it, you find that to be a problem, yes?

One of the problems of our economic system is that we can "sell" our bad things - wash our hands of responsibility and it be someone else's problem.

We can buy clothes made from slave labor, or sweatshop labor, and ... are we responsible? Did we have anything to do with it?

We can buy electronics containing tantalum, which funds the war in the Congo. Are we responsible? Did we have anything to do with the deaths of millions?

It seems like many people can be responsible for this. Eg, the council, for providing substandard housing. But afters of "austerity", they probably don't have the resources, so can we blame that austerity-mongers? Or go back to the Thatcher-era and the selling off of council housing?

Really, this isn't simple finger pointing, but the indictment of the system - "a 'shocking indictment' of inequality in the 21st century", to quote the article.

I have a 15inch ~mid 2014 model that works very well still! The only problems I've had were the battery losing juice, and the screen went out suddenly. The original screen also had peeled a bunch which turned out to be a manufacturers defect from the 2014 models. I took it in to apple and ended up spending ~$500 to repair the battery and the screen, and I'm almost certain that they gave me back a brand new 2015 model a few days later. It's like a brand new laptop. I really like this model and plan to keep using it as long as I can.

I love linux, I use it every day more than any other OS. I don't understand why other linux users act surprised that corporate America frequently ignores altogether or uses DRM methods that are not compatible, I don't think its right, i i don't think its good, but its not new or unusual or surprising.

The reality is that linix makes up 2-4 percent of the desktop PC market which itself is fraction of mobile use and even then, most linux users have the capability to watch it on something else. More of their customers are on windows XP than all linux desktop distros combined. I don't think they consider it anything close to financially worth it and I don't know if I disagree, even if I wish it was otherwise.
Depending on what's serving PHP it can also get complicated. Everybody can't stop talking how easy it was to cobble up something in shared hosting days, but don't forget that back then only option was pretty much Apache and even that was enough to give you headaches because of different modules being activated, your htaccess file being incompatible and so on.

Also: You are a kid, wanting to program something on your new (typically) windows pc you got for your birthday, is it easier to get started with PHP than other alternatives? What about html and js?
In the text file he uploaded, he said he was only able to extract a few hundred thousand[1]. I did use Google translate though.

The traditional banking system is about 150 years old by now. Increasingly, it seems to serve a smaller segment of society, regardless of its half-hearted attempts at innovation.

I have a number of friends working in finance. Lovely people. Absolutely arrogant, though, when it comes to the question of whether their industry will face non-trivial disuption.

Maybe Google and other current tech giants will not be the ones, but someone is going to come along, take a chunk out of financial services, and start the ball rolling on a non-trivial amount of disruption in that space.

I often see people questioning why others would want a new finance/banking system. Yes, the traditional one has some negatives, but how could you want something almost completely new?

I think this line of questioning misses the phenomenon underway. The banking system works for well for me, so it can seem counterintuitive to see people pushing for quite major changes. But, clearly enough people are fed up that things are starting to move in that direction. At what point do I just say, "does it matter whether these people can provide a litany of reasons?"

Either traditional players sack up and satisfy current and potential customers, or someone else will.
Is that a trick question? it's because banks get to make money without doing any work. It's a wonderful position to be in, the middle-man who just takes a cut of everybody else's transactions.

To be fair it isn't a matter of 'compassion or not' so much as triage. I try to do the opposite of a 'faceless million are less important than a single named character' trope. While preventing destitution for all would clearly be the best morally and practically there is an awkward unasked questions whose only answers would be even more uncomfortable from cognitive dissonance.

I have a startup idea, how can I find funding?
I started my own startup before, and make about half million.
Now, I have a new idea. I am confident that this product will make 10 millions dollars revenue in one year and make 1 billion dollars in five years.
However, the initial funding needs to be 10 millions dollars to make a viable product. We need about 30 engineers working for 1 year to build the product (the product is not an app or website).
I think I can definitely persuade some investors to give the funding, but I don’t know any investors now.
What should I do? What should be included in the pitch? (I can’t build the product without any significant money)

I keep hearing this "no framework == homegrown framework" argument and it's starting to feel overused and, frankly, not indicative of reality.

I find that there's a lot of resume padding when it comes to the web industry and "modern stacks" these days. My job involves managing a large monorepo, and I'm in contact with dozens of projects and teams daily. From my experience, I found that when people actually inherit someone else's React thing, it typically agonizes a slow death with minimal amounts of updates until it finally gets thrown out or rewritten.

Also, I've seen some seriously over-engineered stuff that honestly just boiled down to 95% static content and a handful of dynamic elements (e.g. some form validation). Many of these don't need to be a SPA and often can be architected to require very little JS in the first place.

When people say they use vanilla js, the assumption should not be that they have the same amount of JS code that a React codebase does: it typically means that the vast majority of what would be React code is simply not written in JS at all.
