For files that are used by anything, they might be written to. I can't have a write to one file appear in a completely different file just because they had the same contents at one point. And what if my duplicate files have different owners or permissions?

In general, perhaps not. But for ZFS specifically you gain a lot by not using its deduplication system. It needs tons of memory and explodes files into fragments.

We looked into this. The biggest tradeoff is that your whole team has to change their workflow because the repo has to stay inside of a container on the Linux VM (it can't be shared with the host or you'll trigger the performance issue) which means anyone who wants to cat/sed/edit/grep/etc a file will have to go through a Docker container to do it. It's also a bit more complex if you're running multiple services via Docker Compose, as we were. We couldn't see this workflow change working out well in the long term, and someone had already done the work to use native processes orchestrated with PM2 and that seemed to work reliably once it was set up.

Frankly I HATE web based notebooks. I do deep learning research, and I write a lot of complex functions to handle pre-processing. And with that there's a lot of debugging I need to do, particularly visual debugging of images. The interactivity of notebooks and the features of an IDE has made my programming experience much better.
in any event it would be silly to fly over whole landmasses in silence.

I imagine if Mr. Musk wants to keep his shiny new Tesla factory in China, he'll make sure this won't be used to circumvent the Great Firewall.
Could you elaborate on this a little? I understand that Apple only takes 30% the first year and then they drop their commission to 15%. Is the commission on the purchase price of the app what makes it too expensive, or is it too great a cut out of your in app revenue?
What do you mean not fast enough? Lucene/Elasticsearch/Solr are basically routinely used on datasets that are way beyond the scope of what this or Algolia is used on (i.e. petabyte scale). I've worked with teams indexing billions of documents. At that scale measuring ranking quality is a much bigger concern than raw performance, which is just a matter of throwing more hardware at it (i.e. it's more of a cost concern than a performance concern). When it comes to ranking quality, a one size fits all, non sharded solution like this is definitely not going to stand up to much scrutiny. Either it fits, or more likely it doesn't and you need the knobs to tune it (which Lucene provides you plenty of).

Most of the tricks that Algolia and (presumably) this product do to be fast have more to do with how they manage memory than with their implementation language. Basically, Algolia is a non sharded search index that is loaded into memory in its entirety. They don't have to worry about disk seeks, file cache misses, etc. Not a problem when your entire index fits in memory. Of course that puts an upper limit on what they can index and limits the uses to smallish datasets that in no way pose any challenge whatsoever to Lucene (especially when your index easily fits in memory).

I'm not saying it's a bad approach. I think it's a great approach for smallish data sets with very loose ranking requirements where a one size fits all solution does the job and is good enough. For many companies search is not really core to their experience and it just needs to be idiot proof and low hassle to set up for their non expert tech teams and product managers.

I had 20Mbps in Mexico City almost a decade ago. A family member who lived in the same building at the time had 100Mbps symmetrical.

"So if I buy your stolen car without knowing it is actually yours and was stolen, I retain ownership of the car and you have no legal remedy to retrieve it from me."

No, the relevant law doesn't apply to stolen goods. It only applies to goods that were obtained by the seller with the consent of the original owner.

"Where a person having bought or agreed to buy goods obtains with the consent of the seller possession of the goods or the documents of title to the goods, the delivery or transfer by that person or by a mercantile agent acting for him of the goods or documents of title under any sale pledge or other disposition thereof to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of any lien or other right of the original seller in respect of the goods shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer were a mercantile agent intrusted by the owner with the goods or documents of title."
> The actual act of dragging the songs is not very graceful at times--I'll fly by the next song in the list, or not move at all past the top of the screen.

I've had the same problem, but you actually spelling it out here prompted me to try something new... and it actually works! Hold the song you want to reposition in the queue with a thumb and scroll the queue with the index finger from the other hand.

I only learned this technique recently from an article on how to more easily reorganise your home screen. So much better than dragging to the edge of the screen.

I guess the UI generalisation to this: there should be two ways to drag: either by dragging the item itself, or by holding it in place and using the other hand to drag the background underneath it.

I very much experienced this with our django application and traced the problem back to django's dev server polling for fs changes at 1hz. Apparently this is enough to spin fans with docker for mac.

I solved the problem by installing inotify into the container, which django will use if present, which reduced cpu from 140% to 10%. This is a couple of months ago.

I really like the idea of PWAs, but I've tried a few of them and I always come away being annoyed at the app launch latency. They still feel like they're hitting a remote server when starting up for.... something? My uneducated hunch is that they're over-zealously checking their server for updates.

The other issue I have with their implementation is the opaqueness of how offline caching works. How much space do apps get? When does the offline cache get invalidated? I care about that because of that terrible launch latency.

I think these issues can be attributed to PWAs being second-class citizens in Android and iOS.

Very tight NDAs (that they actually litigate) coupled with enforceable non-competes ("garden leave" where they pay your salary for, say, a year as part of the deal before you can leave for a competitor) is part of it.

Really high comp is another.

Perhaps a bigger deal is the fact that they actively return money over the roughly $10BN fund value, implying that the strategy doesn't work past that point. A competitor would then be stuck in a zero-sum game battling for a slice of a fixed pie rather than being able to grow the market.

Yep! This is how I started out (I run it one a VPS now so I'm not tied to my home network) and it works fine. The only limit you're likely to run into is your blocklists filling RAM. I have a 5M+ long blocklist and it won't fit into 1GB, so you might want to spec up a little bit in that area, depending on how block-happy you are.
The trick is to update but a few weeks after the update release.

It gives people the time to fix the potential issues.

Also a fun fact, I have a 2012 macbook pro and when High Sierra got released the update would fail on it because I had changed the hdd.
They were trying to counter Clover but it took less than a week for the Clover team to find a workaround and I coulnd't update my real macbook pro for months before Apple corrected the issue for me.
Some countries have a special copyright status for a 'first' publication of unpublished historical content, called editio princeps. But the conditions for that to apply are somewhat stringent; a widely-copied manuscript would be considered to have been 'published' for example.

I get the real work argument but I think real work from real professionals is slowly permeate to the iPad for example Madlib (prolific hip-hop producer) produced his entire last album on an iPad and it was seen as a pretty big deal in the professional music world. (I think)
I wonder if this is due to stagnant wages, excessive home price inflation, or both.
The criticism is that the iPad isn't better than a PC? Neither is a hammer or a saw ... but both are used professionally every minute.

The iPad is a tool. Would someone argue that a hammer is flawed because it only can be used in some ways, some professions and for some tasks? A laptop is a tool, a PC is a tool, a mainframe is a tool, a calculator is a tool and a saw is a tool. So what?

Of course, a PC might be a better tool for your workflow, your work, your results. But that might be different for someone else. Work with the tools that fits your needs best!

Why do we need to criticize one tool because it is not equal or better to another? Gruber is right in regards of discoverability and consistency of (multitasking) gestures on iPadOS. There is room for improvement. The lack of "professional" iPad software should be directed more towards the developers than Apple - why needs some iPad app to be crippled in comparison to its Mac counterpart? Valid concerns.

But calling the iPad a failure because it doesn't fit to your work, your workflow and your processes? Because it isn't the ultimate general purpose tool? I know authors still using a typewriter. I know some that use iPads because of the "single app interface" and less distraction. I know others using laptops (and complaining about distraction). All are doing "real" work (as many other professions mentioned in this thread) and all have their preferred way of working.

If a developer/power user is happy with his Mac/Win/Linux setup, why does s/he need to criticize the iPad for NOT being the right tool? Or are these folks just unhappy with their setups and desperately hoping Apple will give them a better (-toy-) tool for less bucks? Or is it just en vogue to bash Apple?

I think the decentralized/layered structure of American government is great, because as you said, it allows smaller polities to test out new ideas before growing to a larger scale. I haven't heard of that phenomenon where people migrate to a new city in pursuit of the substance, and that could definitely be a valid issue.

What makes them "undesirable" though? Are they not contributing to the local economy or something else? I don't think it's a problem intrinsically linked to substance decriminalization, and might even be a benefit of decentralized government. Delaware's lax incorporation laws, for instance, encourage people to do business there, which benefits the state.
Mostly policy. Spain deployed a lot of fiber in the las 10 years that we've got little towns with multiple symmetric 600mbps offerings. If it can be done in Spain, it can be done in Germany.
Maybe you should look into some other kind of programming hobby? Any why can't you do ML on your own anyway? Does it require too many computational resources? (serious question, I know almost nothing about the field)

Personally, I could easily work on some kind of OSS project if I suddenly found myself with lots of free time. I can do C, C++, Python, etc., so it wouldn't be hard for me to find an existing project to contribute to, or make my own.
As someone who refuses to give any money to Apple, this is my goal.
They're not trying to hide the proceeds of a crime, they just want to protect their privacy from anyone snooping on the transactions. The government is not the only party interested in how people are spending their money, and criminals are not the only ones with a legitimate reason to want to keep their financial dealings private.
OTOH, they killed the RWD version. That likely would have had an even longer range, and certainly had a lower cost.

I've only known of your project for about two days, so there's no in-depth assessment yet.

On politics, models, and media: I've simply found myself looking at these far more than the technical side. I think that's largely because tech simply hasn't moved all that much in 50-60 years, outside of infotech. In terms of energy, our options are largely the same as Hyman Rickover identified in 1957: wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, nuclear fission:

https://archive.org/details/rickover0557/mode/2up

(We've gotten remarkably better at solar, but the total flux remains constant.)

A close read of various cornucopians (Herman Kahn, Julian Simon, M.A. Adelman) shows numerous thin and flawed arguments. Nordhaus's Nobel is quite probably the biggest error in the history of that award, and that's with fierce competition.

What's notable is that we've 1) made little progress in coming up with a generally accepted, sensible, model of economic growth (Atkinson & Krugman: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3l6E3mUNW70&t=2333), 2) there's been a concerted rejection of limits at both the left and right of the political spectrum, despite scientific concensus, in both cases for ideological reasons (see Schoijet's discussion of this: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3985399), and 3) political will and/or capacity to address challenges has been all but entirely lacking (this is the general thesis of Ophuls in 1977, largely born out over the subsequent 43 years in both action (or lack) and rationales).

It's your framing that strikes me as most flawed, though I suspect you'll also be least inclined to address. Growth as a moral imperative is extraordinarily suspect.

Start there.
Microsoft have released another IDE with notebook support called Azure Data Studio. It uses the same underlying code base as VS Code but is targeted at data driven tasks such as connecting to databases.

Strangely, it uses a different jupyter notebook implementation to VS Code. I found it avoids some of the annoying bugs mentioned in another comment.

It also introduces a SQL kernel which I’ve found useful for organising my queries.

While you can easily make a good argument that Tesla will be profitable from now on based on extrapolation, given that they lost money ($862 million) in 2019 your declaration of "False." like it's an open and shut case is misplaced (and rude).

Yes people are entitled to sell proprietary forks of free software - it's a non-copy left license so perfectly legal. However it puts Godot in a poor position relative to competitors. If you want a free console game engine you could use Monogame. If you want a non-free console game engine then you could use Unity or Unreal and you would have the advantage that you know up-front what it will cost and you know that it will be well supported by well-known developers throughout the lifetime of the console. Godot is a very compelling choice for PC and mobile, but the current situation of “there is console support but it’s a secret so we can’t tell you who makes it, how much it costs and how long it will be supported in future” makes it very difficult to recommend Godot over those alternatives to anyone developing console titles.
Same here. Perhaps it's Chinese investors getting on the bandwagon, perhaps the short squeeze, or even an attempt by someone to get a significant chunk of Tesla for strategic reasons. It's futile to try to come up with any scenario where this could be considered a reasonable valuation by traditional standards, I tried.

I use my ipad pro 12.9" for real-as-in-paying-work. Good luck trying to take my ipads away. I've two of them. Theres a few more around that aren't mine.

Checking email, general websites, discord use, videoconf, etc etc all on ipad. Drawing, sketching, music generation. Excellent.

What is not so good:

No support for tough work background threads. Don't suggest Spotify as counter-example. Audio streaming is a non-challenge for modern cpus.

No support for on-device app development. Both of my ipads leave my raspberry pi computers in the dust in terms of ram, processing power and graphics. Yet, each pi is more functional as a general machine because I can easily remote into them. I can easily build code on a pi and run it. Using ipad I need something like Pythonista to get anywhere near the same. Workflow is useful.

I don't think my ipad pro deserves the "pro" moniker however. It is moving towards but it is no where ready.

Don't believe me? Look at the apps for email as just one example. Try setting up filters/labels in a ios app like gmail. For that matter, show me all the headers for a particular email. Can't. Basic things I'd like to do. Especially with spam handling. A pro device doesn't have stripped down interfaces. It can have hidden functionality revealed through a setting. Even a few 70 year olds have complained to me about limitations with the various email and calendar apps. They use desktops for "complex" tasks.

Why can't other browsers use non-safari engine? Why no extensions support for browsers?

Its the dumb-it-down-for-ipad mindset that is holding the ipad from being a true pro device.

SSH on ipad is what keeps my ipad useful for development. Thats real enough for me. Why can't I run a compiler natively on the ipad? Its got the processing power.

Wheels for the mind. Make it happen Apple.
I'll just leave this here.

I should be the one providing evidence that the following example is disproportionate with regards to regulatory differences between US and Europe?

"West, 30, has had type 1 diabetes since she was three years old. Back in Seattle, where she used to live, she typically paid $70 per month for insulin and another $130 for pump supplies. That was a relative steal in the U.S., made possible by her excellent health insurance, which she got through her employer. But still, it was a financial strain.

In Germany, she pays about €10, roughly $11. Every three months."

The extraordinary claim is that that vast price disparity is in proportion, so the burden of evidence rests on you.
