Music Production has been hit hard by this same move. Plugins and virtual instruments that people have been using for years are all gone from support. All the open source plugins are out right now. Everyone is holding off and I am glad I use Linux and Windows 10 for music.
Not at all crazy, I share your experiences. The mushroom is a method to commune with something larger than ourselves. Although I share your lack of faith in traditional religions, the mushroom has me believing that the spiral does indeed go up (just as we know it goes down).

I don't know a ton about the embedded/IOT world, but it's an area that has been coming up more on my radar recently. This project seems like a super interesting solution to the problems of deployment, updates, and monitoring.

Could you talk a bit more about the focus on linux? How much of the ecosystem is running a full OS vs a small embedded program?

Well, Sign In with Apple is different because:

1. It’s fast

2. It gives you a pseudonym

3. It doesn’t leak all your other social graph data

4. Doesn’t require a new password

The rest are:

1. Faster than creating an email, but will require redirects, and possibly logging into fb/google

2. May give you a pseudonym but often reveals your real name

3. Are used typically to build profiles of you and create stats on app popularity across demographics

4. Don’t require a new password.

More trustworthy than most other sources. I'll acknowledge the bias, but at least they have people who know something about the subject they are talking about and have done actually research. That is .gov normally tells the truth - not always the whole truth, but at least the truth. The "yoga mamas" scream chemical and pass on friend of a friend rumors as pure truth.
Those numbers are comparing different things: https://briefingsforbrexit.com/fact-checking-the-bbc-fact-ch...

> Unfortunately Morris is making the statistical rookie error of comparing two statistics measuring completely different things. For the US, he reports estimates of total illnesses whilst for the UK he uses recorded lab reports. The actual number of illnesses in any country are unknown as many will not be diagnosed or reported. We do know for sure that the number will be far higher than lab reports of known, reported cases.

> And in fact, the lab report data are available for both countries and could have made a valid comparison. The US reported 46,623 salmonella lab cases in 2016, a rate of 14.5 per 100,000 people and a similar rate for Campylobacter. The latest UK figures (reported on the Reality Check article) are 10,089 for Salmonella (around 17 per 100,000 people) and 63,946 for Campylobacter (over 100 per 100,000 people). It might justifiably be queried whether lab reports are collected on the same basis in the US and UK but on the basis of what we have, rates are actually higher in the UK than the US.
I used to manage a small IT department. I used LastPass as my personal password manager and purchased licenses for my team. It worked so well that we rolled it out to (most of) the rest of the organization. It made credential sharing (which is beginning to seem like an unsolvable problem) much more secure and gave admins tools to enforce strong password policies.

I still use LastPass for personal use. I haven't been an admin in a few years so I couldn't tell you if it's still a good option. I want to check out Bitwarden soon; it's been highly recommended to me.
we have this here in the USA too. UPS has what's called "access points" where things can be delivered, or are dropped off if they can't get you. Some packages are signature required, so if no signing, it gets sent there. Convenience stores, etc.

It's just mostly people aren't used to doing that and are hard to change. People often just send packages to work or a friends house instead. With access points, they can and will return a package to sender beyond a certain time.
I've noticed it makes sign ups super easy which is great if you're building a new service and want to get users fast.

But what I wrestled with is the verification of the user on the server side after they've signed up (Apple suggests doing a daily verification of each user that uses Sign in with Apple) and also the annoyance of setting up trusted domains to be able to email your users.

Overall, it's great for users and for privacy but gosh it's a nightmare to setup for developers. Hopefully, Apple can somehow make it more seamless for developers in the future.

Is this on Apple's side of the authentication? Because if you implement the web version (on a non-Apple device) and login with credentials, you don't seem to get a choice, it always uses a masked email address.

You write to your representatives. You vote for greener parties. You donate to green peace etc.

None of those things are actually likely to work. But they're infinitely more likely to work that talking about local action and cutting back your meat intake.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, this problem is really hard. Likely unsolvably hard. But that doesn't make an impractical solution practical.
You are comparing apples and oranges.

The 142000 number is from chicken, alone. The 1.3 (or 1.2 at the top of the same wiki page you cite) is for all sources.

There is a epidemiological problem here, of a) reported vs. estmated and b) the basis of both those things. But it isn't the one you thought it was.
"With psychedelics, both the patient and observer know if they've received psychedelics vs. placebo."

That's not necessarily true. With MDMA, which can arguably be considered a psychedelic, some people who were given a placebo during the research studies swore they got MDMA, and had very productive sessions.

Some people also don't hallucinate even on psychedelics like LSD, which usually cause visual hallucinations, so even with those it's possible for placebos to be effective.

Rick Doblin originally designed his MDMA studies to use a lower dose of MDMA as a placebo, but found that it actually tended to make people with PTSD worse than using an inactive placebo (because the small dose would be enough to bring up old trauma, but not large enough for the people to feel safe in dealing with it, so they re-buried the trauma after being re-traumatized with it, making them worse), so he gave the FDA the choice of using the active placebo and making subjects worse or using the inactive placebo and not making them worse but giving up the double-blind nature of the trial, and they chose the latter.
> those dollars are coming out of their bank account into mine every two weeks like clockwork

Would it make you feel better to consider that those dollars aren't really coming from their bank account in any meaningful sense? They're almost always from a large creditor who extended a line of credit, or from the sale of unsecured debt against the company if you're big and bad enough. And that their "bank account" is almost entirely divorced from cash on hand, and it's built up from money other businesses and customers owe them for services?

We assume that businesses are going to be in business for the foreseeable future, that they'll pay their debts and collect profit on their assets and the world keeps moving. In that sense, corporate accounting isn't the smoke and mirrors; it's the way we give that assumption some basis in reality. We assume that your business will stay in operation and sell the product you helped build, so why penalize them for not being able to get money before the asset is built?

The Federal Reserve is not a private corporation. It is an agency of the United States government, which was established by an act of congress: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm

> The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress.

Regional federal reserve banks are also not private corporations, although their organization structure shares some features in common with them. Member banks that participate in the federal reserve system, on the other hand, are typical companies.
~25 years ago, when the web was pretty new, I saw Ted Nelson give a talk about it. He was angry that it took so long for the world to wake up and hear the gospel of hypertext. And he was outraged and disappointed that the web didn't implement his vision of hypertext. Links should be two-way! The platform should treat intellectual property as a first-class concept! There should be attributions or royalties (or something, forgot the details)! And it did none of that!

I was tempted to laugh it off and dismiss him as just an envious nutcase, but then I realized something: his vision actually did have a lot of neat ideas in it. I came to the conclusion that Ted Nelson is a creative thinker, who had been way ahead of his time in certain ways. To me, it would be a mistake to not listen to him at all. It would also be a mistake to listen without a huge amount of skepticism.
Pretty shifty counterpoint in that example =)

I've used an iPad Pro 10.2" with smart keyboard for 2 years now, trying to shift all my non-iOS-development work to it, with some success. I like using the iPad, and I like using it with multitasking much more than I did before that existed. I think the criticisms in the article have some merit but I don't know what better alternatives would be, and didn't see any suggested in the article. I assume that Apple has worked very hard and thrown away a lot of less good solutions to arrive where they're at with iPadOS thus far.

The answer to a lot of this should be "open the Tips app and follow the tutorials," but they don't cover the entire set of possibilities, so a valid criticism would be that the Tips app should be improved.

A tip for people that might not know:

> apps that aren’t in the Dock can’t become the second app in split screen mode.

Not true: on an external keyboard you can execute the same key command you use for Spotlight in macOS: ⌘ + Space, then you can immediately type the name of the app you want, and drag it into multitasking from the results. As Gruber points out with the dual purpose gesture of dragging icons from the dock (either multitasking or removing from dock), there is one here too: if you swipe down in the center of the home screen to activate a search, you can't drag those icons into multitasking. It makes sense because there's no other app open to multitask with, but the gesture is overloaded nonetheless.

A personal bummer lately is that my $150 smart keyboard stopped working, so I'm rocking a Magic Keyboard with it currently at my desk. The Bluetooth connection story isn't perfect, and I don't take it around with me, so when I'm mobile I just have the dead keyboard cover.
A few vendors sell a pencil-sized sleeve attached to an elastic strap that goes around the Apple case; I have one of those and it also works very well. Agree that it's an odd omission.
While I always prefer email/password sign-in when available, I've used Sign in with Apple exactly once. It's on a website that only offers "Sign in with <Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple>". Given that you don't need to log in to use 99% of this site's functionality, and this site serves a niche market with a small development team, I respect their decision to not try to roll their own authentication.

I'd rather they use oAuth than blunder their own implementation and risk a breach.
I use zotero (https://www.zotero.org/) for all of these functions of reading, note taking and managing references.

Also bonus - support latex and bibtex. You can highlight in the pdf, and zotero will extract those highlights and add them to the entry as notes. Very handy.
I have found that there is a mid-range of dosage that is "dangerous". In that range, one's perception is altered in an unpleasant way, yet the rush of joy that comes with a higher dose has not kicked in. You are left feeling nervous and even paranoid that the experience will never end. Take a bit more and it shifts into joy; you can embrace the weirdness and just let it take you away.
well, you had me until this post.
your volume is so low you can absolutely afford to pay candidates. given that your setup process is also automatic, it's offensive that you aren't.

a candidate 'invests' their entire day's output in it and gets paid $0.

your team 'invests' their entire day in the project and gets paid $XYZ dollars.

are these equal "investments"? obviously not.

you can afford it - paying candidates will be a business write off for you anyways.

you're just not doing it because... reasons?

really lost me with this post, it doesn't sound compassionate at all. you're using candidates the same way everyone else is, but the bar is so low that describing the process and giving feeedback got me excited.
Interesting that so much of the activity of "free market" advocates is centered around reducing access to information.
You can redirect FedEx packages to any local Walgreens up to midnight before the delivery day. UPS has something similar with CVS. For me this is even more convenient than USPS due to more locations and longer hours. It works even for signature-required packages.

I have a jury-rigged system, as I use my 2-in-1 stylus-equipped Chromebook for most of my reading and annotating. It's not very elegant, or FOSSy, but it works reasonably well.

I basically use Dropbox as a back-end, using Autosync for Dropbox (fka Dropsync) [0] on Android and ChromeOS (and the vanilla Dropbox Linux desktop client on Kubuntu) to keep the files synchronized (storing them on SD cards on my phone and Chromebook). I have it automatically sync frequently, and the app automatically uploads local changes to the cloud.

For PDFs, syncing the highlights is of course trivial; as a reader, I use Okular on Linux and Xodo [1] on Android/ChromeOS. Xodo has more features -- I like using my Chromebook's stylus to scribble notes in the margins -- and everything ports well to Okular, and vice versa.

For EPUBs, I use Calibre on Linux and Moon+ Reader Pro [2] on Android / ChromeOS. In practice, though, I use the latter almost exclusively; it has a built-in Dropbox sync functionality [3], though I'm not sure the highlights etc. are accessible by other apps.

It doesn't even matter which way the environment is going, just that it's going faster than ever. Organisms like these crabs could surely adapt to a wide range of circumstances, but only with a lot of time to evolve over. And our reckless industry is not giving them any time.

I imagined the relatively conservative party would only want to play ball with known "similar" groups like US companies. Then again there may be some crazy internal ""sales pitches"" going on inside the political party. The US really needs to step up it's "lobbying" game if they want to compete
The (socialist) European way then would be to regulate the industry, to ensure certain standards. Basically trying to attack at the root of the problem instead of the outcome. We are not necessarily very good at it, but we try and it does work reasonably well on average.
I am well aware of the limitations, was merely pointing out that renewables could greatly improve the status quo when it comes to resiliency for a large portion of the population. And the extreme latitudes can still benefit from solar in the summer. It mostly just comes down to cost/benefit tradeoffs.

It seems like the parent comment was suggesting that natural gas was a necessity. I whole heartedly disagree. For winter months in extreme latitudes, other forms of renewables (hydro, geothermal, wind, biomass) should be sufficient.
True (and funny) but the difference is one of expectations. When you climb in the car and start driving there's no expectation that a blindfold will fall over your eyes. And the bar for tricking a human is higher even if obviously possible.

People letting their car drive itself do not expect something like this to occur and may even have no hint that it's happening (like with speed limit signs). The bar for tricking the car is far lower. None of the autonomous driving systems built so far account for maliciousness and they are still far behind humans in "processing power" so it will be easier to trick them. For a while at least.
We have an on-going issue with Apple's protections going back almost a decade to when they started mucking about with 3rd Party Cookies. This isn't entirely their fault, blame also lies with the vendor we've chosen and our architecture for SSO.

That being said, there are valid use cases for tracking users across websites. I work for a nonprofit that does fundraising using every imaginable PaaS or SaaS platform as well as quite a few in-house developed tools. We offer an SSO experience across all of these various platforms and integration is a nightmare. OpenIDC, OAuth, SAML, ADFS, and lots of custom APIs.

It works for the most part everywhere except Safari where a few of our integrations just cannot and will not work due to their use of 3rd Party Cookies. Fortunately the way we've had to structure our solution, Sign in with Apple won't be much if any disruption to the status quo. It won't however help matters either.
I run mine for audio production, exclusively. I have some mac only software that is critical to my workflow, so I keep a hackintosh (which works perfect btw) running.

This is a bit perplexing. Libraries don't need to be installed, you simply put them in a directory, add a path to it in the command to the compiler, and list the library on the command to the compiler.
