How do I sleep at night? For the last three weeks I've been waking up at about 2AM every night with anxiety running through my body. My life absolutely sucks right now and it will for a while. I absolutely would pay people back personally if I could. I'm working on a way to get refunds back to people.

Things were not going in the right direction and we started moving forward with a more graceful exit that would have gotten scooters to our current customers, but it fell through and then we reached the point of no return.

Basically my only job right now is to find a way to get returns back to people.

That's impressively low power!

I wasn't aware that AMULET was a thing. Neat to see that someone put the effort into making an async CPU.

I had heard from one of my professors that Intel tried the same thing with a Pentium 1 and ultimately gave up due to poor tooling. (I don't know the exact timeframe of this, but I believe it was around the P2 or P3.)

Musk and Tesla have spoken about this numerous times before, but the correct mode of viewing autopilot is how the police department framed it:

> "Regardless of your vehicles capabilities, when operating a vehicle your full attention is required at all times to ensure safe driving."

Recall that autopilot in a commercial airplane is meant to assist the pilot and co-pilot, not to replace them. That is precisely how you should view autopilot in Tesla vehicles.
I am disappointed that Apple decided to emphasize form over function. Once upon a time, Apple products Just Worked. They were easy to use. You didn't need to read the manual. Updating to the latest version of the OS consistently made things better.

Nowadays the keyboards break. The UI is full of arcane non-discoverable features. Upgrading is a total crap shoot. It might make things better, or it might make things that have been running reliably for years suddenly stop working. And if that happens, it's really hard to go back. (On an iOS device it is usually impossible.)

The competition is even worse. No one makes a computer that Just Works any more. And that makes me sad.
Uninformed nonsense.

Its Finnish EU PRESIDENCY, which means it's paid by the EU budget.

Each EU country holds the rotating EU presidency for six months, which means they chair interministerial meetings, formally negotiate and propose compromise legal texts, etc. In this role the presidency receives a budget for promotional events, communication efforts, etc. The Finnish presidency decided to use part of the budget for this translation effort.

This seems to fit various EU goals well, eg to upskill the population, promote digital competences and encourage use of all 24 EU languages. Think of just the added value of having common terminology and definitions.

Rumor in my office is that a OTA firmware update will bring autopilot to models that are bought with the wheels. God forbid you have to drive the $57k mac pro yourself.

I think it's mostly frustration when Apple leverages the fact that you can't (legally and without a bunch of extra & ongoing work) run macOS on non-Apple hardware to push changes people don't like to the hardware, or to charge plainly absurd prices for same.

[EDIT] actually I think it's similar to the reason some people get pissed off over over perceived mismanagement of fiction franchises—if anyone could tell a story in a given "universe" they probably wouldn't care much if some of those stories were (from their perspective) terrible or misguided or misunderstood and misrepresented the characters or world or whatever, but when only one entity is allowed to tell those stories and define the direction of the "universe" it bothers certain fans a lot if they get it "wrong", and in fact almost any given piece of related media is likely to make someone unhappy in a way and to a degree they wouldn't be if that were just one of many options, rather than the only option.

[EDIT EDIT] and in both cases the problem is monopoly control over a very particular product. Yes you could watch other movies or use another OS, but you'd much rather that one simply be better (in your opinion) so you could stick with it or so, in sticking with it, you'd be more pleased with the product, because it's your favorite.
So is the comment you’re replying to, probably.
This looks very useful and I'd love to use it in the future.

In 1991 we would sit around the lunch table at school with our EGMs and GamePros and argue about the SNES vs. Genesis.

Angry online comments about Apple have led me to believe that the people making them are either:

a. tweens sitting around the 2019 equivalent of a cafeteria table, or

b. adults who never grew out of the SNES vs. Genesis phase

One of those is embarrassing, the other is pathetic.

It could also be that they're broke-asses who are jealous of people who can afford Apple products but that doesn't make sense because there are very few similar comments about other luxury products-- though they do exist.

ps. Genesis does what Nintendon't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly can't understand how this is anything other than copyright infringing piracy. If I put the full text of every book on the New York Times bestseller list up on a website, surely I would, at the very least, be forced to take it down and no one would be particularly sympathetic to me. Why is this any different? Because the original medium is digital? Because it's technically easy to circumvent the paywall? I don't get it.
Customize Your Mac Pro
Right, exactly. What you describe makes sense and is the reason why magit does what it does.

Now, note that you ran `git commit`, with no arguments. Let's think about an alternative narrative on the command line, involving `git commit -m "$message"`

1. Stage a file.

2. Start drafting your commit message.

3. Stage another file.

4. Finish drafting your commit message.

5. Issue git commit -m "$message"

This time, both files make it into the commit.

So basically, we are now thinking of the Magit commit composition buffer as a place where you draft a work-in-progress commit message.

I think we can both agree that the idea of having a place where you can draft your commit message, and meanwhile alter the contents of the staging area, is not unreasonable. Perhaps as an alternative to the standard flow.

So my question to you (and those who might consider working on magit code) is: what advantages does the other model have? (other than it mirroring `git commit` with no arguments). Would one ever really want to mess about with the contents of the staging buffer while you have a pending commit message that you have not yet actually committed? Isn't it in fact more likely that what you want to do, while that commit message is pending, is alter the details of what will be committed?
For what it's worth, I recently bought a new-build condo-ownership model townhouse in Silicon Valley that is effectively a row house. Six units in a building, three stories each. It's not quite the same, but it seems to be cut from the same mold.
No, that started at 3000, the new machine at 6000.

In old G5 times, the entry level Mac Pro even was ever so slightly cheaper than the iMac with the same processor. You traded no included screen for extensibility.
The markup on these types of PC's is ~100%. If you needed to build even a few of these per year, the savings in buying the components yourself would pay for an employee to maintain them, (not even including the deep discount you could get negotiating prices on high end parts from a vendor). Not that you would even need a full time employee to maintain them...
If the health situation is bad enough, it's just making externalities via health risks for everybody those residents interact with, since they're now vectors for whatever diseases crop up.
I'm naive about business but I just don't understand what Twitter even needs a LOT of money for. Yes, they need some funds to run servers, update apps, and the usual internet company maintenance...but it's not like FAANG companies, which have a lot of ancillary products and services, many of which are big and expensive risks...but that's what investors signed up for, an ambitious innovative mission.

Couldn't/shouldn't Twitter's mission be to distribute 140 characters from one person to many others...what do they need huge revenue and profits for?
Rust doesn't seem to lend any advantages for this kind of tool, but I'm sure it took weeks to write (months?) rather than just a couple of hours. What can this do that bash scripts couldn't?

I suspect that as usual, congressmen will grant themselves exceptions. I absolutely agree that banning or attempting to control encryption will not prevent the bad guys from using it, and will only prevent law-abiding citizens using it to protect themselves and their data.
The Mac Pro is intended for use as a workstation, as opposed to a typical desktop computer. Workstations are used for tasks with high computational intensity, such as video editing and rendering, 3D modeling, graphics development, etc. I expect machines like this would see use at Pixar, Sony, Weta, and so on. For example, if you watch the announcement keynote from WWDC (I think it was), they show its ability to live-render multiple 4K video streams simultaneously — where a high-end desktop would struggle with live-rendering even a single video stream of a lesser quality.
The effect would be the same. We would end up with a country of, by, and for the red states, for better or worse.

It would be much better to focus on enforcing the existing Constitution, than to write a new one that would also end up being ignored when it proves the least bit inconvenient to the government. The world is full of "democratic" countries with lofty-sounding constitutions.
Honestly a sizeable chunk of the audience for this machine have little to no use for internal storage. Video production houses and the like are going to be working off massive arrays of external/network storage.
The chilling effect of (some) regulation often goes unnoticed, because it impacts few people directly. The chilling effect is essentially invisible until we can see a better way. Eg uber vs taxis. There's usually an incumbent that benefits from these regulations as well that will argue against lessening them.

I think your recommendation can help with this issue, but I wonder if CA is a good place for this. As I understand it, access to water is a limiting factor in CA.

Terrible default GPU for any kind of rendering. 580 is basically their 2nd cheapest low-end gaming GPU at the moment and this is a less powerful, more memory version.
Arguably Apple brought this on themselves; every one of their marketing initiatives over the past two decades and every one of their bids toward user-exclusivity has led to this by design.

I don't really have any opinion on this, but cult-like outrage over a company that markets themselves as a cult isn't something that users can be blamed for, generally.
This is the correct answer -- video and 3D. And studios will max them out with their own components however they need.

If you're working on professional films and TV shows, this is obviously worth the price. Studios wouldn't be buying them for their designers and editors if it weren't.

It goes without saying this isn't for consumers or developers.
Yes, he's from Oregon. HB 2001 is good news, but we need to allow for more variety, and it'd be wonderful to also allow light commercial by right, so that, say, you can walk to a corner store instead of getting into a gas guzzling SUV just to do something people in many countries can do on foot.
Because people feel a need to do something, anything. And in their mind, even if it probably doesn't help, it can't hurt.
Speaking of, does anyone know a cheaper service than Mapbox and Google Maps for raster tiles?

I have an app that uses Leaflet for rendering, and Mapbox purely for its raster tiles (both plain maps and satellite required). Mapbox has been cheap for us, at about $50/mo. But with the new pricing structure taking effect in December, it's now about $450/mo. I believe Google and Bing are both more expensive than that.

I've been considering setting up OSM, but I'd like to avoid having to run and maintain it.
3d modeling, video editing, compression, etc. these aren't targeted at software developers.

I'd assume ILM and competitors, art schools, etc, are queuing up to buy them as needed.
> Government only ever takes more power

This is reductive and untrue.

There are many US Amendments (notably the 4th) and Supreme Court decisions where the ruling decreases the government's power, sometimes dramatically.

Examples[1]:

- Loving v. Virginia: Invalidated state laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

- Roe v. Wade: Women have a constitutional right to an abortion during the first two trimesters.

- United States v. Nixon: President cannot use executive privilege to withhold evidence from criminal trial.

- District of Columbia v. Heller: Citizens have a right to possess firearms at home for self-defense.

- Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission: Corporations and unions can spend unlimited amounts in elections.

...and then there are a lot of decisions related to upholding/broadening the Fourth Amendment (very relevant to this Facebook issue) that Wikipedia has a full list of[2].

Event: Conversation with NYT Reporter Mike Isaac, Who Wrote the Book on Uber
If you're interested in privacy or protecting your email address and you're still using Chrome or GMail you need to start by eliminating those and de-googleifying your life as much as possible.

I'm from the Midwest and I find NYC and LA to be incredibly alienating for that reason. I'm surrounded by people but none of them acknowledge my existence. If I'm walking around my own downtown almost everyone who passes by will nod or wave or say "nice day isn't it?" just to be polite.

I held a door open for someone when I was in NYC last time, which turned into a big mistake. Everyone else hadn't been paying attention and when they saw me holding open the door they must have assumed I was a doorman and everyone flooded through the open door not giving me the chance to catch back up to my group. Meanwhile in the Midwest, if someone is a few steps behind you and you let the door close, they're going to be complaining about how rude you were for hours.
Thanks for your perspective

I don't like retailers storing my credit card info in dodgy databases that end up on the dark web. I understand that stores don't want to lose all their profit to interchange fees. That's reasonable. At the same time, I personally wouldn't be so dogmatic about using Apple Pay or an Apple Card if I hadn't had my debit card ganked five times in the last seven years. In other words, they've brought this on themselves, and any store that supports chipless transactions is part of the problem. (I can't wait until Apple Pay or an equivalent is widely accepted online, and then I'll be preferential about that, too.)
