Don't be disingenuous; it's absolutely your issue. You're running up and down this thread and hopping onto other posts about the same topic. I don't care if it's your personal crusade, but you should at least own it and enjoy it.

As for my "curious behavior," let me remind you that you're the one who stuck your nose in. I made a joke and you decided to try and be a bully. I don't like bullies but I do take great pleasure in leading them down very long, nonsensical pathways for no other reason than to waste their time.

It's a time-honored tradition that can be traced back centuries if not millennia. You'll find it in many great works of literature as well as those of the lesser know poets. Lewis Carroll was particular well-known in this regard and one could certainly do worse than to emulate his example.

Mind you, I'm certainly not claiming to be any of these things myself. No, I'm just an average traveller but I do like shape of the joke. It never ceases to amuse me when deployed as the bully in question (that would be you) never seems to catch on even when the game is laid out in front of them.

For what it's worth, it is 100% relevant to comment on a source regardless of the topic. This is especially true of the WSJ, which is still trash. And while we're at it, this whole topic is not news anyway. People have been talking about Google's bias since the very beginning of time.

I'd recommend that you go outside and have a walk or maybe a nice cup of tea.
I thought most OECD countries have rules for companies being tax liable at their "effective place of management" and "arms length" etc principles to prevent funneling money to tax havens. Or is it just the correct loopholes you need to know about to ignore all of this?

Suprisingly recently, I learned that cloudflare does hand over data about browsing and also inspects the data that is being exchanged by the user and the web site - and pro-actively hands the data to various gov agencies.

I do not think most webmasters or web surfers know this.

Why are you so sure you can't be both ?
Oh yeah. Take consumer goods got example: A straight razor or double edge safety razor and a bar of soap work an awful lot better, cost the customer significantly less, and produce far less waste than modern mass-produced shaving convenience goods at the expense of greater initial costs and a modest increase in required skillset.

A fountain pen with a hand-tuned gold nib is refillable and can last nearly a lifetime with proper use. It also requires good writing technique which will reduce fatigue and enhance legibility.

I've yet to find a modern can opener that is remotely usable with any kind of longevity. Instead I keep a couple of swiss army knives in my drawer that always just work, and are faster and are easier to clean than any modern can opener I've tried.

Hand-made leather boots can be resoled several times and last a decade or more.

All of these things have the same common themes: They were hard to mass-manufacture or sell in quantities as large as mass-manufactured goods, they require a bit more upfront costs to use, and require a modest skill investment by the consumer so there's a barrier to entry.

That last bit though is the sinister one though. Moving to more forgiving implements is better right? Not if it means you never learn proper technique for doing things. Dig through a manual on penmanship from the late 1800's and you'll find a wealth of valuable knowledge that can help you write neater and with almost no fatigue even with a modern ball-point pen. Curiously, we don't get lessons even close to that in school today.

How's this relevant? Take these attitudes and apply them to software development. If you make your tools more forgiving, you can get away with less training for your developers, right?! Less upfront investment in hiring competent developers! Emphasize scale and throughput over quality! ...and all of a sudden, you NEED a bunch of tools to make up for the increase in project complexity of band-aids slapped on top of poor design. And hey, if you slow development to a crawl, you dramatically reduce the frequency of major errors/downtime! Win-win! /s

This 100%. I work at a fintech that's not a bank. Instead, we integrate with people who integrate with banks--we've basically got one middleman per continent (except a few).

It's awful. Rather than having to figure out the regulatory details of each jurisdiction so that we can be compliant, we instead have to figure out the regulatory details of each jurisdiction so that we can trick whichever middleman into being compliant on our behalf.

The waste is incredible. It's all promises of "we'll handle that" but never any actual contact with somebody who can code and you know... handle it. I'm beginning to think it's just parasites all the way down. And if that's how it's gonna be, why not cut out the middlemen and be the only parasite in the loop?

>> Having the lowest repairability possible should not be acceptable for such a high-end machine.

That's just like, your opinion dude. Take a look at the logic board. Given the thinness of the device, every piece of it is designed and stuck in place. Nothing here is plug/play. If modularity is important to someone, and thinness is not, then they're free to look elsewhere for a machine.
> The git repo is massive so giving each process its own copy is not practical.

Just to make sure: This is per point-in-time, and not just because of history? You can usually make things somewhat cheaper just by doing a shallow clone. But of course that doesn't help if at any given point-in-time the repo is still too big.
No real end game I'm afraid.

They don't have the membrane because they don't need it. With the old keyboards, any spec of dust would cause them to stick. That means these are back to the original, non-fragile keyboards with good travel.

Personally, I prefer the MBP2015 keyboard to the Magic Keyboard.

I have been to an Apple Store recently to try out the MBP16's keyboard and it's good - but not as good as the one I'm typing this on.

I also don't understand the obsession with key stability on the corners. I like the instability. I use it when I'm touch typing - it gives my fingers a lot more tactile feedback.

Still waaaaay behind GKE and never likely to get closer.

GKE supports multiple versions of nodes and today began offering release channels to further simplify version management. There pool and node limits are far greater. Why does AWS require yet another CLI "eksctl" other than to vendor lock-in?

I still have yet to see anything on EKS that can match GKE.
Agreed. It's also human nature to game systems for their own advantage. The same evolutionary triggers that had us develop tools to reap rewards from the physical environment... well, we develop mental/abstract tools to reap rewards from the "intellectual" environment. There will never be a well intentioned law with enough "lock tight" wording that won't be gamed by someone out there at some point. The same, there will never be security that won't be eventually overcome at some point.
We might have prevented a fair bit of environmental damage in that time, even if we're just talking spills from deep water rigs.

Price drops come from scale so if we scaled sooner the prices might have dropped sooner. It's impossible to say for sure though.

For me the best example of "rent seeking" is actual rent ;-) You build a building and you rent out rooms in it. It's the initial outlay of capital that you turn into a steady income stream without having to put any more work into it. This is in contrast with selling a service where you charge for your labour. My objection to rent seeking with regards to SaaS is similar to what happens with rental properties without regulation: there is a great incentive not to address problems since all labour past the initial capital cost is a cost centre, not a profit centre. Similar to some situations with rental properties, it is also relatively easy for vendors to lock in customers by not providing facilities to move their data somewhere else. As a user of services, I think SaaS is a poor way to offer a service. It's can clearly be a desirable situation for the vendor ;-) Probably that wasn't clear in my previous message.
Racket CS works similarly to traditional Racket in this respect -- compiled libraries still contain the results of macro-expansion and inlining from their dependencies, and generated executables still bundle everything together in a way that's not easy to re-link.

It's more the other direction that's a benefit -- traditional Racket makes fundamental use of several pieces of LGPL software, such as GNU Lightning and libgmp, but Racket CS does not use them and Chez Scheme is Apache-licensed.
I somehow feel compelled to point out that this idea of union/overlay FS layers has nothing to do with containers per se. But on the other hand is somehow critical for why containers got popular as that is the way to make the whole thing somehow efficient both in terms of hardware resources and developer time.
Nobody is manufacturing planar NAND flash memory in high volume or in die sizes large enough to fit multiple TBs of flash into a notebook. The only viable options currently being manufactured are all 3D NAND. The vast majority of this (and what is used by almost all SSDs across all market segments) is 3D TLC NAND flash memory—TLC meaning it stores 3 bits per physical memory cell. MLC would typically refer to storing two bits per cell, SLC means one bit per cell, and QLC means four bits per cell.

There is no reason to prefer MLC these days. TLC has plenty of write endurance for client/consumer usage. MLC offers theoretical advantages in performance and endurance, but these are absolutely not worth the higher cost that comes from lower density. (And that's comparing 3D MLC against 3D TLC; high-density planar MLC loses against 3D TLC on all counts.) There is a niche market for SLC NAND in high-performance server applications that need the lowest possible latency from their SSDs, and Samsung and Toshiba are currently manufacturing memory to suit this use case. But it again has density too low for multi-TB SSDs to fit into a laptop.
Why doesn't apple make the touchbar out of keys? The keys could be flat on top and seamlessly adjacent to one another to make a "bar", for sliders and such. But pressable like regular keys to make great buttons (most common use-case). I feel like that is inventable.

> It‘s not a very professional device if you can‘t upgrade the storage and the memory.

Well, if you use this professionally, grab the max memory and storage available. Done.

It's not like you could stuff 256GB of RAM in the future, chipsets have limitations.

As for storage, that's only the internal storage. It has fast ports for a reason.

Upgradability is good, but it is worth much more for non-professionals. This allows someone to buy a machine today for lighter tasks and then later on re-purpose it for heavier workloads should the need arise.

That's where pointer authentication can help.
They were likely actually referring to MLC vs TLC vs QLC. All three types can be manufactured in the stacked "3D" form.

MLC stores 2 bits per cell, TLC store 3, and QLC stores 4. MLC is the fastest and most reliable form, while QLC is the cheapest.

The MacBook Pro likely uses TLC like the vast majority of current consumer machines. Apple's SSDs are typically among the fastest available, but I haven't been able to find anything about reliability.
Uh-huh, and no one lies on their taxes either. While, I know it's funny to joke that Canadians say sorry and are super nice. I think that's a racist stereotype. Canadians are typically dicks. Especially the Quebecois. So to pretend that they magically share all information with foreign governments... sure. And Deustche Bank is innocent of banking fraud too.

I think it's genuinely unclear how something like the LGPL should work in a system with macro expansion and ahead-of-time compilation, where the compiled code will contain copies of the bodies of macros. The FSF discussion of the LGPL and other languages focuses on Java, which has basically none of the tricky issues at play here.

The feeling was absolutely real. The feeling is best described as feeling cornered and attacked, with my only way out being extreme violence.

That said, I've also been tested for all kinds of problems (yay affordable health care + endless supplies of mental care), and I'm completely normal and not dangerous. I just have misophonia.

They did studies on misophonia and I was part of it during another unrelated rehabilitation (accident related) for which I was treated in the same hospital.

It's correct, as you say, that if we can't build a map that ever requires a fifth colour, then it can't be that there exists a map which requires more than four.

It's just that the C₅-plus-thing requires four colors, even though it doesn't contain any K₄ induced subgraphs. So we could imagine that there might be some larger planar graph that requires 5 colors without containing K₅. As it turns out, there isn't, but that's the thing that's hard to prove.

To me it actually seems that the 16" keyboard is a brand new keyboard, that has never been in any laptop or external keyboard. But it's derived from the external Magic Keyboard and shares the marketing name.

It has 1mmb of key travel, which is less than the 1.25mm of the external Magic Keyboard. It's also less than the 1.35mm of the 2015 MBP. But it's much more than the 0.5mm travel of the Butterfly keyboard.

This is all to say that although the 16" MBP has a new scissor-based keyboard, it's not quite fair to say it's the same as the Magic Keyboard. And although it probably fixes all of the keyboard woes of the past couple years, I would still wait a few months and see.
Whilst I applaud the effort, could someone explain why this is preferable to the scripting flow?

I agree you need to do pin-planning and possibly play with constraints, but all of that is possible from a post-synthesis design checkpoint. The advantage of OOC flow is it's scriptable, reproducible, you can parallelise different place and route strategies if you're really stuck. This advice about IP in out of context mode is good though - you need that whether you're scripting or using the UI.

The only thing that really grinds my gears about source control is that checkpoints are 50-100MB, so it's not great if you want to incrementally place and route (which is often a nice time saver)
>Just a quick note that the US is equally powerful in the financial arena as they are militaristically, if not more so.

This was the trade off Churchill was forced to agree to, as London was being bombed by the Nazis, if he wanted the US to join the war. Before the War the UK ran the World's finance, after the War it was the US. In short the US financial power was birth directly from its military power.

Edit: and, as the next commenter says...:
You should probably look further into the brain drain which is a global theme with complex ethics. Independent people moving are not really bad or necessarily hurting a state they leave as they send remittances, move back to retire, etc. The overall affect of states incentivizing bulk drains can be brutal though as can the resulting investment decisions of a state that knows it's brightest will be drained. At any rate, in the big scheme of things don't worry about NY and SF, they (and even their own domestic victims) are not victims of drain on average.
So when you say "not very accurate" you're refering solely to how it's not specifying that it's our black hole? As in, the headline is perfectly accurate except it should say "the black hole" instead of "a black hole", and that moves it to "not very accurate" for you?

I did the same thing at my office and brought it into a conference room with 7 other people. We watched the CO2 climb to about 900 and then it started going down.

A nice surprise that we have systems managing this - I don't know how common that is in offices though.
