> You know, it's before my time, but when Cronkite suggested in 1968 that the United States withdraw from Vietnam, I believe what he said was taken seriously. I do not believe it resulted in the country unifying behind the peace movement and immediately withdrawing from Vietnam, which is the sort thing that would happen if "most people unquestioningly accepted whatever Walter Cronkite told them."

It took a few years, but the ultimate outcome of the Vietnam War was probably sealed at that moment, and everybody including President Johnson and Walter Cronkite himself knew it.

More essential though was the unquestioning acceptance of the mainstream media's power to selectively report the facts they considered most pertinent, to decide the issues of the day by choosing what to report and what not to report, and to establish governing narratives around their coverage. There is an enormous degree of power that the media can and does exercise in this fashion. Today that power is much less centralized than it once was. I consider this a net good, and am suspicious of any nostalgia for the days of greater centralization.

> The less hyperbolic and more accurate way to state all this is, they believe their work is important and something the public should take seriously.

I take the work of the media seriously enough to be critical towards it rather than abiding by lies about how media corporations aren't actually corporations.
Can you explain how you are being ‘bullied’?

It seem like you think of yourself as some kind of extremely clever and sophisticated victim, but it’s not clear how you have been hurt.

I’m fine with criticizing the WSJ, I just don’t think we should use that to deflect criticism from Google.
> Why shouldn’t it be acceptable? I for one accept to trade repairability for less footprint/weight.

I mean, this seems like a good enough reason to me[1].

> Let the market decide what it wants.

Discussing pros and cons of a product is part of how the market figures out value.

Competitors seem to be able to maintain a lightweight form factor without completely sacrificing repairability.

K6 was monumental by AMD, for the price those suckers ran circles around the Pentiums of the time and were more stable at that.
I think there's a big delta between having experience with operating those services and trying to launch a service that on its first day had 10 million users and its expected to be at 100 million users in 4 years.

ESPN and MLB TV are probably pretty far from those numbers.
Hopefully you'll have Apple care, which will allow you to replace the whole machine without paying for an entirely new one.

If you need it for a living, it's a no brainer. Is it malfunctioning? Take it to an Apple store, grab a brand new device, restore it from Time Machine and resume where you left off. You could be back up and running in a couple of hours as if nothing had happened. You could potentially waste a lot more than that trying to troubleshoot and then ordering new parts.

That only works if you have good Apple Store coverage though. Otherwise, the table flips.

Isn't that basically a direct debit mandate?
I think there were issues with Linux at some point because of the nonstandard NVMe drive that Apple was using. Were those ever fixed?
I think that it is universal advice for libraries: do not do multithreading inside, let the client code do it and/or pass necessary constructs.

Simple example for Java: do not create executorservice instances inside of a library, but allow client code to pass them.

While "encouraging to reside in the United States" definitely seems like over-broad wording that's ripe for a 1st amendment takedown, I would hardly classify "sanctuary city officials who refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement" as speech. "Abdication of duty" is a more apt description.

They don't get to decide immigration policy for the entire US - but by refusing to enforce federal law in that area, that's exactly what they're doing.
"Nilsson had set up a studio at the hospital where his subjects would be placed in an aquarium-like environment, which is why they appear to float in space. Together, his shots create a spellbinding timeline, from an egg fertilised with sperm to foetuses at various stages up to six months."
Look at the inside of this thing. nearly every millimeter is used. Switching to replaceable forms of memory/storage would take up significant space, either requiring a larger laptop, a smaller battery, or lower thermal capacity.
This year i went to my relatives who live in the mountains.As soon as i arrived there, my sense of smell "magically" came back, i felt like my body wanted to nap every couple of hours(even though i didn't want to,most probably due to the higher levels of oxygen) and my circadian cycle was almost perfect(which in the city even while wanting to maintain it,i couldn't, this is not because i was busy or free in the city).
And most importantly: ideas,motivation came to me,"90% of my brain" was suddenly activated.
Obviously this must be again due to the fact that the air was cleaner and i got more oxygenated.

As soon as i arrived back in the city, motivated to do my work, my brain slowly decayed back into the dumbness that every city shines on you.I felt like with every breath i was losing track of time and slowing down into monotony.
Obviously there is bias & other psychological effects at play, but the quality of air(besides water) should be the upmost priority in a person's life.

This is very much true and common sense as people should recognize how their environments affects them.Our daily constraints often make us not be aware of our bodies and trap us in our heads, which is very dangerous.

Can you use a Linux tmpfs as the overlay? It's much faster to create/delete files, and you can simply unmount it at the end and its memory is immediately reclaimed.

That's a software feature. In this case I believe they're talking about the keyboard itself double-typing.
It does not appear so. The article says the hospital called him whenever there was a fetus available and that he had to complete his photography within a few hours. He had an aquarium-like tank at the hospital to suspend the deceased fetus in to take the pictures, which is why they look like they are floating.

The single image taken in utero may have been during a procedure. The article's phrasing doesn't make it sound like it was done primarily so he could have a picture.
Wrong. People commiting to renewables early drive and support the market, which overtime drives down prices due to more and more people improving the tech and manufacturing process, which is what leads to the prices to come down.
Wear headphones that are comfortable to wear for a long time (like big ones that go all around your ear but don't press on your earlobes) and use a white noise generator. I use one that adds like rain and thunder and campfire so it sounds like I'm in a log cabin during a storm and I just crank up the volume to where it drowns everything else out. Literally right now there is jackhammering going on in my office and I can't hear it at all until I take my headphones off. (I use asoftmurmur.com personally but anything should be fine)
A while back, I used to think hard about whether to purchase AppleCare to extend the warranty on a new MacBook Pro. Now, it's a no-brainer. Believe me, I know from hard experience that you won't regret it.
Large, old cities already have problems with their waste canals clogging because modern toilets and showers use too little water. I wonder how this can be solved in the future, perhaps by coating the canal as well?
That didn't stop the Guardian from tagging the article with 'abortion'.

The original author is attempting to make a point about software development. It is tempting to use examples like what you just have, but the problem is you've over-extended the metaphor when you do.

The reason your metaphor doesn't work is actually the same reason the original author is wrong as well. Biology is a science that begins with reverse engineering and a lot of guess work, and the human body has no official documentation or handbook.

When developing a new software system it's extremely important to document the business rules implemented, and to use an organized architecture because the guys who built it will very likely not be the people maintaining or updating it.

The frequency of "Phoenix" projects is often the result of code becoming unmaintainable because of how chaotic the design and architecture has become. Even the best documentation and the best engineers cannot make poorly architected and disorganized code maintainable. This is because as a system's code base grows, if the complexity of the architecture also grows it becomes more difficult to make changes without causing defects. This inevitably results in a point where it's faster to completely re-develop the system from scratch than to maintain it in order to add a new feature or even resolve defects.

I've seen this exact scenario play out in every development project I've ever seen that didn't accept the very easy design principal of using and documenting a set of standard design patterns that follow a clear architectural framework.

Losing some efficiency in code is frequently necessary to make the application maintainable beyond the forseable future. Those last 5 words is where everyone seems to get it wrong. A chaotic design is maintainable for the forseable future, but the guys who will maintain the application for its intended life span are beyond the forseable future. They will likely have to work with insufficient design documentation, and a lack of subject matter expertise. Because of these factors, a design which is insufficiently legible is therefore unmaintainable.
The global poor don't get to choose. When the choice is firewood or not being able to cook and stay warm, you use firewood.

When the choice is find some way to stay entertained without taking quarterly vacations on CO2 generating flights to expensive getaways or keep polluting somehow no one bats an eyelid.

Hah, this is pretty cool. Perhaps having a VR headset on would finally allow me to concentrate in an open office environment.
> I'll say what I always say: Reject the "going dark" framing.

Also, the ability to "go dark" from the authorities needs to be understood to be a good thing, because sometimes the good guys are the authorities' enemy. That doesn't happen every day, but when it happens, it's critical for a resilient democracy that the people have the tools they need to resist.

Somewhat reduced law enforcement efficiency is worth trading for that societal resilience.

The protests in Hong Kong are a good example of this: they use E2E encryption apps to organize to support democracy and civil rights. They'd have been crushed long ago if they'd been forced to used surveillance-friendly communications tools like text messaging or WeChat.

Suicide is a common problem in federal prisons, accounting for around 30% of prisoner deaths. The NYPost article is deeply unsatisfying as a source to me because it conflate protections all prisoners have and protections prisoners on suicide watch have, and incorrectly states that cameras in federal prisons commonly cover sleeping areas. It also claims taking someone off suicide watch is unusual and rare, involving a lot of paperwork and evaluations. They are technically right that a lot of people have to sign off, but the process is often not taken very seriously.

Furthermore, in general the NY Post is seen as a far-right tabloid and I couldn't find any more reputable source making the same claim. And they don't provide much detail about their claim, hedging by saying that they tried looking up news articles and didn't find any (as opposed to having a more conclusive source) and report that there were a "handful" of unsuccessful suicides while omitting any further details. If they were a more reputable publication I'd give them some benefit of the doubt, but given their track record I'd want them to cite their sources more explicitly.

Still, your point did make me realize that every article I've ready about poor suicide watch procedures used national statistics instead of statistics specific to the MCC. That is a serious weakness of those sources.

I'd definitely try lvm snapshots in that case. They free you from the specific choice of the filesystem. But I don't know your exact workload, so... testing and profiling some options. Make sure you try larger lvm snapshot blocks to lower the overhead - 4KB may still be the default and it kills performance.

Sounds like a routine thing, for certain values of "routine".

Endoscopic fetoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed during pregnancy that allows physicians to view the fetus in-utero. Physicians use endoscopic fetoscopy to evaluate, diagnose, and treat fetal abnormalities.

I don’t think it was a deliberate agreement per se, I feel like it was just the natural outcome after the US helped rebuild a lot of Europe. The previous world order had been ripped apart by the war, and the US was the world’s largest economy by the end.
I'm with you. I have an old Macbook Pro at home with the original scissors keyboard, as well as some old bluetooth Mac keyboards with scissor switches, and a 2017 Pro with the butterfly switches, so I get plenty of experience with both styles. I prefer the butterfly keyboard.

But like you, I haven't had a key go bad (yet?). I'm sure some folks did not like the butterfly feel, but I think a lot of the frustration started with how easily it broke.
You happily used the power they produced though.
Possible to set moderators who can view the ip addy of other users in a chat room, and silence, kick / ban - and set parameters like ip subnet blocking, cidr blocks and server blocks via hostname?

(self hosted version is what I am considering)

I am still looking for a replacement for the old real-chat program to self hos chat rooms, but have found virtually every system since lacks these kinds of moderation tools, or they have so many bugs that they are easy to exploit and ruin a chat system when people should be banned.

I really like that you added self-hostable options after the decentralized info on the home page. Makes me want to look deeper into this.

It has also not been researched very much. That said, I've suffered brain damage for which I'm medicated because I didn't have any brakes on my emotions anymore. That helped bringing me back to normal levels of dealing with emotions, and it also reduced the levels of anger I felt dealing with misophonia triggers.

Medicine used: Depakine (valproic acid).
Agreed. I much prefer we would call it statistical intelligence.

Although artificial intelligence is actually spot on. We just understand the wrong side of the ambiguity. Its not really intelligence that we have reproduced artificially - since it isn’t intelligence - but a fake intelligence, the artificial kind. We’ve created the artifice of intelligence, through statistics, but not intelligence.

People knew long before newton that an apple would drop to the ground when released. Statistical experience has allowed us to have knowledge of this very early on. But it took newton to explain what was going on, so that instead of predicting through experience, he could predict by reason and logic. Thus saving him many lives of accumulating experience to make his next prediction ever more precise.

"Statistical intelligence" allow us to do a bunch of neat things though. Many problems are best approached statistically (because noise, lack of formal understanding etc), and these some of these methods achieve impressive results in a wide range of situations.
Falcon heavy is cheaper than Delta IV by a factor of four: https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/02/three-years-of-sls-d...

SpaceX milestone of using a Falcon 9 four times: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/11/spacex-returns-to-th...

I'm not in the industry so I could be missing something (e.g. it sounds like there's a lot of competition in the light-lift market, cubesats and that kind of thing). But it seems that on heavy lift, SpaceX is dominating on price, and that seems to be largely down to reusability.
You’re not incorrect. However, with that attitude we’ll always be divided and controllable/manipulable. So I’d rather we show some empathy instead or hold off from saying it...

If you're only using the toilet twice per day, I suggest drinking more water :) https://www.healthline.com/health/how-often-should-you-pee

But maybe you mean only flushing twice per day, despite using it more frequently, in order to save water? That would beg the question of how this coating material would hold up when subjected for hours per day to the "toilet environment" you produce vs. a clean water environment.
Yeah. Thats ios smart quotes for you. Re-type the “ by hand.
I think generally it's easy to know you won't be needed by other patrons in a coffee shop, or that their chatter won't require you to weigh in or judge, so your brain just keeps an ear out for normal danger noises.

Molnija wasn't a ripoff, Soviets purchased the design and the initial tooling from Cortebert.

This particular Cortebert's calibre is indeed somewhat famous for being used by Rolex in 1940's (as cal. 618).

It's a fine movement in itself and Molnijas are not bad at all, both in their original 15 jewel variant (from 1947 to early 1960's) or as a later 18 jewel one. I would just avoid the specimens from 1990's or later.

I especially like the 18 jewel Molnijas from early 1960's that were still decorated with Geneva stripes and had a microadjuster. Molnijas became more utilitarian later on.
It's not that Ruby has never heard of this pattern, the article even mentions libraries that implement it (ROM, Sequel).

Rails made a choice to use the active record pattern instead. This article is about adapting an existing application to a new pattern.

But I don't think that proves the above comment incorrect.

We support strong widely available encryption even though it enables terrorism, weapons dealing, human trafficking, etc. But when it enables the delivery of hard-to-block ads, that's too far?

In my opinion it was wrong to go down the path of using DNS for content blocking in the first place. Even without widely available DoH, bypassing dns-based content blocking is trivial.
Ah, that makes sense - thanks! Been using the word for a while but never figured out the linguistic logic, TIL, awesome.

> A child being abused 1000 times is obviously awful but its not as bad as 1000 being abused once.

Obvious to you. The problem with this sort of reasoning is that children are not mathematical objects. It is also the sort of reasoning that ultimately leads to the rest of society deciding that us tech people are incapable of setting things up in such a way that abuse potential is minimized. Then you get reactive stuff like this article.

I wonder if Apple didn't give them the tools in Catalyst to do their text rendering correctly? The Twitter app does not suffer from these text rendering issues...

As a side note, the wording they used is patronizing to anyone not using a MacBook Pro or iMac 5k.

Or claim that a confidential informant said drugs were being sold at the house, or say they thought they were raiding a different house they had a warrant to raid but got the address wrong, or claim that they smelled weed, or claim they heard a ruckus and needed to investigate possible disorderly conduct, or any number of other things.
The model 3 ranges from about 3650 lb to 4100 lb. A Mustang GT weights about 3700 lb. Noone would call these cars lightweight, but I do expect them to perform significantly better than the Y which will probably weight hundreds more.

Also, the Mach E has a massive battery and might actually weight close to 1k lb more.
