I agree generally with what you say but I’d substitute experts with humans.
The initial poster is likely weary. I’ll try my hand exactly once. I know it can be frustrating for both parties, because sadly, to know that an expert is right, you need a bit of expertise.

Here we go.

Symmetries are useful to understand a domain. If you have one, you know that a point on the left will appear on the right. So question like “but how do you know that there really is a point on the right?” is simply because you know the proof of symmetry.

The answer to “how have you verified that Nock's peculiarities don't have legitimate reasons in the context of the system of which it is a component?” is in the same way. They mention Curry-Howard correspondence: I don’t want to lose too much time on it, but yes, it is a symmetry, so the point on the left called Nock has a corresponding point on the right called lambda calculus with the same properties; and the claims made by Nock’s author about there being no symmetry are disproved by old proofs.

In fact, there are a lot of 50-year-old systems that fulfill Nock’s goals. Since it is an old field, the majority of them had time to develop into practical systems that are much, much clearer and less esoteric.

Which brings me to the goal of Nock. Why do something esoteric when a bit of field knowledge shows the complexity is unwarranted?

One possibility is NIH.

A more likely explanation is getting users into the sunk cost fallacy. Why more likely? Because this technique has been used repeatedly by the author in other fields, like his political essays. I am not the first to have that thought; a quick Google search brings this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6qPextf9KyWLFJ53j/why-is-men...

It does work. So many pixels spilt over an awkward language named after a famous anti-semite admired by the author, Albert Jay Nock.
With big OEMs like Dell and Lenovo finally offering laptops with Linux preinstalled, is there any chance one of them could put in the investment required to solve this once and for all?
The touchpad on my current gen Dell XPS 13 is superb on a stock Ubuntu install. I'd love to know how much of the "bad touchpad" reputation that Linux has is down to low quality hardware versus software support.
^ totalitarian mindset! Love how you don’t leave a shred of doubt. You’re 100 percent sure you’re right, you have 0 doubt. That’s really the mark of an intelligent and moral person! You’re just being honest that you’re 100 sure, since you must be very intelligent. I get it!

“If only me or my group of people I like controlled everything, we would achieve the utopia!” -> mindset that leads to totalitarianism

Truth is that it takes a really evolved mindset to support the two party state. A lot of people don’t get this. You actually have to want to stand for people who you might hate, or at least disagree with.

When people stop protecting the views of people they disagree with / think are stupid, that’s when we descend into tyranny.
Yeah, admittedly wsl has helped on that front.

My main pain points were related to filesystem access, primarily its speed for things like npm install and running test suites.

Though if you're just using a docker image through wsl2, does that alleviate those issues?
I feel like people didn't understand sarcasm or I have a broken sarcasm detector. I can't tell.
Not exactly, I don't think.

In the Shannon formulation, there isn't a notion of "too much information" -- it is all symbols.

But in reality, too many photons can burn our eyes or a denial of service attack can break a website. Too much information is a reality --because we are thermodynamic entities.

I don't see how to understand that with Shannon.
My XPS 13 has a wonderful touchpad out-of-the-box, one config line and natural scroll works (think you can enable it in settings on a stock Ubuntu install though).

You ignored iCloud though, which isn't E2E reencode and uploads personal photos, contacts, location and some other data to Apple. They can decrypt this data and regularly share it with the governments.

So your post is kinda misleading when you leave these details out - it creates a false sense of safety.

If you expect WSJ to not be in favor of hardcore right wing / business interest, then honestly its a lack of perception. They've had that reputation for years.

The acceleration, the low latency and the super smooth animations for the gestures are what really set the mbp apart and make the gestures so natural to use.

Having used Gnome 3 with Wayland and libinput (the best Linux trackpad experience at the moment) until last year, I can say that while the latency and acceleration curve are definitely not there, at least the animations are better implemented than those of Windows 10
Yeah it'd be a lot more interesting to know the actual companies that have the dev environments (since that's kind of the point of the article?).

>Name a president of the United States (or anywhere, why limit it?) and I'll provide you with a corruption scandal that either they were linked to or happened during their tenancy.

How about I throw it back at you and ask you to name a single former President who has been involved in as many deeply serious scandals as Trump?

Can you even identify any scandals involving a Democrat President that even begin to approach the seriousness of the Stormy Daniels affair, the Ukraine affair, his ties to Russia and the assistance his campaign received from Putin, or any of the literally hundreds of major acts of corruption that have taken place under his watch and often at his explicit direction?

Both sides are not the same. No President in history has ever been as openly and completely corrupt as Trump, no political party has ever demonstrated such contempt for the rule of law and the Constitution. This is not business as usual.

The pattern seems familiar, take a succesful, self-propelled creative inventor, typically an engineer kind of person, put that person in a group where they need to submit to ideas of others, and things eventually go wrong.

It's not that unusual to see a founder get excluded even if that person was arguably the primary driver, the deteriorating relations don't allow the situation to continue and the alternative is blowing up the organization.
> Contrast that to Google News — which is predicated on collecting information and showing ads

Google News doesn't show ads.
It still doesn’t let you block particular news outlets entirely either, if they make it into top stories they still show up. Given the behaviour of some outlets, this makes Apple News a non-starter for me.
The Euro at $1.10 is at one of its lowest level. This suggests that the dollar does not drop in value, or that the Euro drops faster.
One caching pattern I find myself doing a lot on Redis is where multiple clients try to access the same cached value, but if it doesn't exist only one is allowed to revalidate it, all other clients wait until it's revalidated and get notified with the new value.
Currently for the clients it involves:

1. subscribe for updates on the key you're trying to retrieve
2. retrieve cached value or set a lock
3. if lock acquired, unsubscribe, then fetch value
4. set the result in a key and publish event with the value

I wish there was a command that does:
retrieve value of a key, if it doesn't exist lock the key and notify me with an id, if it's locked subscribe for the next update on the key. With a second command that acknowledges the lock with a new value

Now I know this can be implemented and I've done so multiple times. It's just that it's tricky to get right and consistent.

I have found WSJ to carry one-sided articles with little factual basis quite frequently, actually.

Such travesties as: Perfect market theory, Chicago School/ dry economics, ignoring the negative effects of monopolies/ short-term extractive capitalism.

I know they used to be "reputable" but. Today large parts of America are a crumbling trashcan. Where is their acknowledgement of this problem, and how capitalism should solve it?

I would recommend The Economist as a factually-based business & economics subscription.

The annoying thing about Apple News is that it allows tabloids, sensational crap, bloggers with a dollar, and anyone else that has a junky website, to masquerade as actual, real, and relevant news.

I started to read articles from tabloids without realizing that they are tabloids. Because on the internet, nobody knows that you’re a dog. You have to actually investigate them, to find out that they are a gossipy tabloid.

Fortunately the app allows you to unsubscribe from it. But this makes it even harder, because now, you’re actively exposed to their sensational reporting and fake news.

More than one, if you look at it. Emacs is best viewed as a Emacs Lisp runtime that ships text editor as a default application ;). That's how it ends up with extensive outliner/productivity suite, e-mail/news client, file browser and a bunch of other applications within it, and a lot more of third-party one available in the built-in package manager.
those would definitely be great but even more basic than that, it should allow for "exact matches". I feel like most of my queries are useless without it.
I feel like one of us is missing the point.

The complaint was that when being restricted to TDP power draw processor won't run above about 4.5GHz. Having overclocking mentioned after that as drawing more power made me think, that by overclocking they meant going beyond Turbo Boost, as 4.5GHz is approximately the all-core Turbo Boost frequency for the processor.

If that is correct, then there is no surprise, that going beyond max boost requires drawing power beyond declared TDP.

I guess it matters for folks who come from the Mac world and expect all trackpads to be like on their Macs.
This is not correct at all. It’s Comcast’s policy to support any modem on the supported modem list. From first hand experience with half a dozen non-comcast modems, and way too many support calls and site visits to count, never once have they even suggested that I should use their modem, and they have never refused support or otherwise shown any resistance.

I’ve also never had a problem activating a modem. They ask for the MAC, model number, and sometimes S/N, then it works. The model and S/N are optional and don’t even have to be correct.

They’re a terrible company and I would not deal with them given the choice, but this isn’t one of the reasons why.
It could have been the drop that made the bucket overflow (or however you say this in your language) and it is probably also an emotional thing of feeling poorly treated.

Have you tried a Mac touchpad? I use both a Dell XPS13 (Ubuntu from factory) at home, and a MacBook Pro at work. The Mac's touchpad is miles ahead... and that's even after I spent a couple of days messing with libinput settings to make the Dell's touchpad more acceptable (it's fine now, just not really close to the precision of the Mac's touchpad).
Were they? Their screwed up the launch if that were the case...
Working your ass off for a buck, to pay for your rent and food, feels rather pointless, when the government just prints money out of thin air, and hands it to the rich, and those that don’t need or deserve the help.

Meanwhile, you’re taxed like crazy. Health insurance costs is a heavy burden on your earnings.

And any savings you have, will now be cut in half.

I feel like we just got robbed by the Fed. Again.
I've been lucky enough to work for two 'fairly progressive' organisations in a row (by UK standards in terms of work/life balance, working from home, flexi time, general attitudes around 'how to do good work' (outcomes vs outputs, etc) and all that jazz.)

I figure after 2 in a row, the next place has got to be step backward a good 5-10 years. I'm putting it off as long as possible.

Though saying that the first place I worked was firmly stuck in the 1970s so maybe I got it all out the way in those first 3 years.
That reputation comes from people who switch from Windows to Linux and see the quality diminish substantially. That's hardly a hardware problem.
> Try to push as much logic as possible to the server. If the front end weren’t super complex, I would consider something like Phoenix instead which actually pushes everything to the server.

Sometimes you don't have or don't want a server, but still want to avoid the issue of wedding business logic to the UI.

With web apps my strategy is to treat business logic as a separate library housed in the same project. I'll have a "SomeBusiness" directory and just import it across the project like I would a third party library.
I have never seen a "just trust the experts/institutions" type respond when I point all this out to them, but you've worded it better than I ever have.

What I find especially funny is the political class's persecution complex on this point. For all intents and purposes, the "experts" and their enablers in media and government are still calling a good 98% of the shots, but just losing that last 2% has sent them into fits of finger-pointing rage.

To an extent, and as allowed by whatever particular constraints exist for that business. Letting you run whatever IDE you want, usually OK.
