Well I bought AppleCare because of the keyboard and I regret it. They refused to fix the nonworking keys because of a 1mm scratch on the back of the top case, saying it voided the warranty.

So just a few hundred additional bucks wasted.
But I'm not hallucinating and I'm not dreaming either.

Also, I don't know why you're saying I'd round anything below one-in-a-million to zero. I wouldn't. But would assign zero probability to a mugger being an Operator from the Sevent Dimension because that's a patently absurd idea that I see no good reason to grace even with the slightest degree of belief.

I mean, if you take what you are saying here at face value I actually have to assume that there is a probability that there exists a Seventh Dimension with magikcally powerful Operators inhabiting it. In real life, not just in the context of Pascal's Wager. Because I can't assign zero probability to anything.

That just doesn't make any sense at all.

The article is from 2017 and references data from 2016 and 2012. In 2018 Apple announced it stepped up its recycling efforts but I don’t know how things have changed and I haven’t read the full environmental report.

Apple forces recyclers to shred because they determined those devices are not fit for resale and they don’t want recyclers reselling them, like they said they would in the article. This happens to 1/3 of trade-ins, see link below.

You can repeatedly use the same asset to launder money. And an appreciating asset like housing is ideal as the laundering costs can be covered and even exceeded by appreciation. Probably don't want to do it too often for any particular property if you're worried about getting caught, though.
No, because non-open-plan offices pretty much don’t exist anymore.
Let me paint a scenario for you:

* I am the sole bread winner for my family and decide to buy Canadian PR for me and my family - thank you Quebec Investor Program!

* My family moves to Canada and we buy a multi-million dollar home in my stay-at-home wife's name. I'll also buy one for my university-age kid because I like real estate. Sure it wasn't his money, but I gifted him the money and he bought the property. This is perfectly legal and won't be taxed until he decides to sell the property.

* I surrender my PR. I am no longer legally tied to Canada in any way as far as the Canada Revenue Agency is concerned.

* Once a month, I transfer a cash "gift" to my family to support them. This is perfectly legal, non-taxable, and Canadian banks don't really ask any questions. It works great for my family and keeps them comfortable while I continue making my income abroad.

* Come tax time, my family's income is zero because I am the sole bread winner and not Canadian in any way. My "gifts" are not income. My wife owns a multi-million home but her income is zero. My son owns a multi-million dollar home, but he's a student. They actually get money from the government to subsidize their "poverty" plus the wife gets child benefits for our little girl (too young for me to gift her cash to buy another multi-million dollar home, but I have the money ready when she hits 18).

* Meanwhile my family is using tax-supported services like health, education, and other services. My university-aged kid is paying domestic student tuition despite us having contributed functionally no money to the Canadian tax system. Sure, they pay sales tax, but they get a huge rebate since as far as the CRA is concerned they are living in poverty.

Since I gave up my Permanent Resident, I applied and received a 10 year super visa, so I can visit my family any time I'd like. Sure, I don't have access to a few things, but my family does and it's nice knowing I can walk into the country whenever I want.

But it gets better: if my family choses to get Citizenship (could go either way, since our home country does not recognize dual citizenship), they can sponsor me to become a Permanent Resident down the line. In fact we'll probably do it just in time for me to retire and when my healthcare costs will be higher.

The cherry on this delicious sundae, with nuts and cream on top? If you dare suggest I am abusing the system I can call you racist and people will take me seriously. Canada is great.

---

To be clear. No one is suggesting that a university kid who got paid international student tuition, still found a job, and carved out a life in Canada is not welcome or that they are a problem. No one is claiming that the temporary foreign worker who excelled at their job and was sponsored to remain in Canada is a problem. What is causing a serious problem is the media and Lefist parties pretending that when someone tries to talk about the scenario above, they are talking about honest immigrants who came here to live and contribute to the country.
Great article and nice style distilling all this into a bite size chunks.

Is it me or just the title is a little bit inaccurate in the sense that there's more to "How containers work?" than overlays, e.g. it made me think that it covers more than it actually does, e.g. cgroups, namespaces, etc...

Anyone knows of a more in depth coverage of containers building block type of article that allows one to build a rudimentary container from scratch to appreciate what goes into building one ?

(QIIP) Québec investor immigration programme has a major contribution to Vancouver housing crisis. It's basically a "pay for citizenship scheme" Québec gets to keep the money for 5 years before returning it to the investor and BC pays the price for it. These investors have no obligation to set foot in Québec or start a business in Québec !

All other provinces have discontinued this programme except Québec.

I use make (or redo) with -j for parallelizing tasks all the time. It's a really great tool for that.

If you specify your dependencies correctly, then -j will not break anything (other than out-of-memory when parallelizing beyond your memory resources).

Many implementations of redo have an option that will randomize the order of building dependencies; it's a useful way for testing if you have your dependencies fully specified or not.

For non one-off tasks where incremental builds are desired, I've been really liking tup. It will automatically catch many mistakes with dependencies for you up-front, saving much hair-pulling down the road.

[edit]

An example of what I use make/redo parallelization for in one-off scripts is bulk conversion of images or sound files; it's usually 1 file in 1 file out and rarely are the tools already heavily parallel.
Nvidia GTX 1060s are available for less than a Jetson and train small models fairly well, and fine tune large models very well.
While this is certainly a spectrum, I'm definitely at the extreme end of Concentrator. My productivity is basically zero when there is any background noise. I suspect this is related to my ADHD (which I've never taken medication for ;-).

I'm also strange in other ways. Music does nothing at all for me and I have a really hard time remembering things that are spoken to me (but have an almost photographic memory of anything I read). I suspect I have some sort of auditory defect that all of this is wrapped up in.

As someone born here, it feels the same way to me. Basically my entire social circle is just people who are also born here.

You basically have to marry into this social group, and none of us really seem to mind.

That said, people also form groups around activities (like knitting circles, various sports, and what not).

That still doesn't change the reality that the US broke international laws [0] under the pretext of supposedly enforcing them.

And it did so in a very calculated and premeditated way [1] that justified everything on a domestic legal basis, while completely disregarding international law and institutions like they do not matter at all.

Imagine if China would pass a law declaring how their soldiers and government officials can't be held accountable by any international body, how would that be framed by US media?

Yet in the US, this has been established legal reality for close to two decades and plenty of US Americans defend it like it's the most normal thing in the world due to their internalized "exceptionalism".

This is true but not super relevant to the question of whether paying someone to place an ad in front of certain demographics is selling information.

Because sure, Google knows a lot of people and they have a lot of ad space to fill which means they have a good chance at finding and reaching the demographics I asked for but I don’t get any of that information as part of my transaction with them.

So, for sleeping I'd go for softer plugs like those made by Howard Leight for shooting (Laser Leights) or Moldex Spark Plugs.

Hearing protection always talks about attenuation in terms of dB(A) (A-weighting being a sensible thing to do when measuring perceived sound levels). 30dB(A) is a significant attenuation (logarithmic scale, don't forget). 35dB(A) is quite an improvement over 30dB(A).

For long-term use, ear plugs aren't great. But ear defenders can be had cheaply which will work well; I know of some people who use ear defenders atop in-ear active-noise-cancelling headphones as a double-whammy.

The correct answer is to work/sleep in quiet places, though, but I realise this is fast becoming a luxury.
Travel does cost me a lot but it’s more than made up for with the size of property in a desirable neighbourhood.

There’s no right or wrong answer here though. Some people might prefer a shorter commute and I can’t blame them for that. For me, I’d rather have a longer commute but live in a larger house in nicer neighbourhood; somewhere quiet to bring my family up.

The added bonus is most IT jobs these days offer remote working so I don’t have to travel into London five days a week if I didn’t want to. Though sometimes the commute itself can be enjoyable because it’s a good chance to catch up on reading or personal programming projects (etc) since it’s 90 minutes of uninterrupted time away from the family.
Same thing happened to my wife earlier this year. She deposited a check (from an insurance company), Chase apparently deemed it fraudulent (it was not) and with absolutely zero notice simply closed her account. She pulled open the app one day and noticed that the account was just missing, with all the money that was in it.

Hours on the phone with no resolution. They told us we had to get the insurance company to contact them and verify that the check was valid. Like wtf is that. That’s not how checks work. And we’re not talking about a large sum of money. I think it was around $4k. Not particularly abnormal.

We finally walked into a branch with our 4 month old daughter, plopped ourselves in the manager’s office and told him we weren’t leaving until it was resolved. A few hours later we were told that the account was permanently closed and could not be reopened. But that we would receive a check in the mail for the funds that they quite literally stole from us.

As soon as that check cleared we closed all our accounts with Chase. Fuck them.

> A lawyer for the government acknowledged that it wouldn't be theft to remove a tracking device put there by a private party. But he argued that things are different when the government has a warrant to use a tracking device. The device had a legal basis for being on the car, the lawyer argued. By removing it and preventing tracking, Heuring was depriving the government of the use of its property.

In order for that argument to make any rational sense at all (and we're talking about the law here, so "rational sense" doesn't necessarily enter into it), the police should have to label the device with a property tag identifying it as belonging to the police.

If it's impossible to tell if a device is from a jilted lover or from the cops, then saying the removing it in one case is OK but in the other is not is effectively saying that it's never OK to remove it.
That's not the implication you get from this statement?

> Thanks to Janklow, South Dakota has a financial services industry, and the US has a trillion-dollar credit card debt.
Please read my comment again. I said it implies it, not outright says it.

From the 14th paragraph: "Thanks to Janklow, South Dakota has a financial services industry, and the US has a trillion-dollar credit card debt."

This is definitely the author trying to peg America's credit card debt onto Janklow, and therefore South Dakota.

One of the big trends in green/sustainable building is creating relatively air tight buildings in order to cut down on heating and cooling costs (see: Passiv Haus, Passive House, Pretty Good House). In order to do that, though, mechanical ventilation is needed. As a result, Heat-Recovery Ventilation & Enthalpy-Recovery Ventilation residential units can be installed for only $2k-$4K. Seems like a worthwhile investment (for when it’s not convenient or possible to open a window).
I can give you a good reason. Last time my mac had a problem and I went to an authorized company that fixes macs the report they gave me was: "There's a problem with the logic board, we need to replace it, but we can't assure you that will fix it, if problem persists we will replace the other components until it works, you'll have to keep paying."

I asked what was the exact nature of the problem. The answer was "Electrical", whatever that means.

I think it was the worst repair experience I ever had. I would have ended up paying half to two thirds the price of the mac probably because of a broken tiny component somewhere.
Also I'm not allowed to keep broken components for later personal inspection (apparently apple does not allow it).

Yes Canadian immigration system is merit based and fastest in the world. But you will have to add an exception which is Québec immigration system.

Québec immigration system is broken, arcane and has unfair delays for merit based immigrants to Québec. Federal stage is 2 years backlogged. Express Entry in rest of Canada will take only 4 or 6 months.
It should be, but what do you think the chances are that that is actually going to happen?

He also mentions how Japan developed a very different relation to space and time in their visual language of comics. Notably there is the technique where certain scenes do not have frame borders on the side of the edges, as if to imply that the scene is unbound and extending forever beyond the paper, just outside our view. This is not unusual in Western comics now too, but it originated from Japanese manga. Given the concept of "Ma" it makes a lot more sense now that this technique was first developed in Japan.
