Personal experience from someone who enjoys hunting and eating game:

The bigger issue is getting one's family on board. A spouse or kids who have grown accustomed to CAFO beef and chicken and not much else will be difficult to transition to gamier meats, to say nothing of offal.
I look at the screen when using a computer, not the top of my hands. Therefore a set of dynamic "keys" aren't adding value to my computer experience, and frankly I'd prefer the physical feedback of a key with actual travel (e.g. standard F# row).

The Touch Bar is, at its core, an anti-pattern for people who cannot touch type and frankly a cop-out because Apple didn't want to add a touch screen (due to the high cost of updating MacOS).
How would that apply in a voluntary protest resignation scenario like this?
This is correct. Big capital ideas can only be funded by wealthy people who have the ideas. Wealthy people by definition, have an interest in perpetuating the system that made them wealthy.
I was a regular contributor to a Brazilian Mac magazine. The tradition on the mailing list was that, for any offer of anything Apple for sale, we'd offer $50.
Everyone knows that the stock market will eventually drop a lot, due to some crisis or other. It will happen, to a near certainty. But the cost of maintaining a short position long term will exceed the payout, that's why it's really hard to make money off short selling. Otherwise it would be free money every decade or so.

Stockpiling costs money, and it costs more money the longer it takes for your bet to pay out, just like a short. Masks expire, rubber perishes. You have to bet on the timing, not just that it will eventually happen. A 100-year event will take 100 years to pay out on average, so how much money can you afford to lock away in anticipation of something that might not happen in your lifetime? The opportunity cost isn't zero.
I don't agree with that argument, sqlite is totally the right tool for the job, it provides consistency, reliability, an api you can query anything upon, transactions, indexing, tools... And fits into files.

You currently can't trust systemd log storage at all, even on my own laptop it manages to have some corruption... Querying is very poor and inefficient, indexing is unreliable... And that's exactly what I expect, building a database is hard.
I use it for everything that I don't need to share with other people, because it scales 'for free' with the size of my data (my music library, for instance), and because I can use it across many different devices but selectively sync different 'types' of things to different devices (e.g., a large photo collection doesn't need to be on my mobile phone).
How many of those employees have alternate work they can take if fired or have enough money saved up to make ends meet if they don't get a paycheck for a while? Many people live paycheck to paycheck and theres a huge batch of people newly unemployed to compete with for jobs. I don't think that's a lot of power. Without a union, theres also challenges in organizing such an event.
I think this is a two way street. If you've never been involved at a management or ownership level of a business that has "low pay" labor (e.g., food service, warehouse, retail sales).

For every 2-3 decent workers there is one that just takes pure advantage of the environment (e.g., stealing product, stealing time, etc). Sometimes this occurs at great cost for a period of time before it is discovered. EDIT: This was meant to be illustrative, not an exact ratio.

This makes companies take extreme policy measures for the few instances of this that impact everyone, because the financial impact is so disproportionate.

Now, the argument can (and is) made that pay is a factor. "If you pay me more I won't act like this". But depending on the business (e.g., a local pizza place) there is no affording that.

Many laptops offer upgradeable RAM and some upgradeable CPUs. All laptops of my family have upgradeable RAM for instance. SSDs bays and M2 slots as well.

All LiIon batteries are around 80-85% of capacity in around 350-500 charge cycles given a decent controller and no excessive heat (which macbooks are overall bad at).
Sure, or wiping it off before use with my shirt works as well! It's still a bit annoying
I think the resale value is Apples real strength. When I upgraded my 2016 13” mbp to the new airbook, Apple offered 60-70% of the airbook cost in return for the mbp. Because tech-wise there are just so many hood options. I ended up selling it to a local third party reseller that I’ve used in the past for 80% of the cost of the air. I can’t remember the original price for the mbp, but it was around what the air cost me.

Compare that to the surface pro my wife has, which essentially lost all its value the moment she walked out the store. It’s an excellent machine by all means, and Linux subsystem is great, but it’s not actually cheaper than a Mac when you factor in the resale value.

I do live in Denmark, and things may be different elsewhere, but the only hardware that has any resale value around here is Apple.

Comparable email service? Not sure on what terms to compare. But take a look at the below privacy focused (or privacy respecting) services before you look at Fastmail (which can be quite expensive if you need multiple mailboxes):

Posteo.de (no custom domain support), runbox.com, mailbox.org, mailfence.com, migadu.com, mxroute.com (if you don't mind hosting in the U.S.), ProtonMail (needs a bridge software to use IMAP) and Tutanota (no IMAP support)

If you'd like to support the next generation JMap (which Fastmail develops), then getting a paid subscription on Fastmail could help.

Insane defaults, but easy to get started without knowledge
I have the latest Dell model (XPS 13 9300), and I'm left with a bit of chagrin as I probably would have looked into this new 13" MBP instead had it been available a few months ago, but overall I've been happy with my purchase. I'm not really "in" the Apple ecosystem so I'm probably a bit biased though.

A few other Dell Pros:

* 16:10 aspect ratio. The 4K touchscreen in general is fantastic, nearly borderless and really stunning in person. Dell has honed in on some great industrial design for the XPS 13 line. The laptop is incredibly compact for the feature set and screen size.

* Keyboard is fantastic. Trackpad is great, but not quite Mac level. They have been improving this considerably over the years and this latest iteration is the best yet.

* Linux support, even though I ended up not using it due to "okay" HiDPI support.

* i7, FWIW. Not sure the thermals really allow you to take advantage of full perf gains from the better processor.

* Another Dell Pro which has made me feel better about the purchase has been the free year of Next Day On-Site ProSupport. My original lid had a mark on it and no shit they scheduled a technician to come to my apartment and replace it the next day. Macs obviously have the advantage of Apple stores but in this case I was really happy with the level of CS Dell was able to provide.

Dell Cons:

* I was previously an (Arch) Linux user and have given Windows 10 a shot this time around, mostly because I don't have the time to be fiddling with config files these days. And while Windows does "just work", some things are a little janky still. From what I've heard of MacOS these days, things are not necessarily perfect there either, so maybe a toss-up. I will say Windows being so linux-friendly with WSL has made the transition much easier.

* Two ports has been not really a huge issue. I find that either I'm docked, in which case I have a whole other set of ports to use, or I'm not really plugging in more than two USB C accessories at the same time.

As a supplement to a family's food supply, hunting and foraging are totally insufficient.

You can't really make that claim without quantifying the degree of supplementation in question. And that's an unknown. So really this is all just speculation. But I can say that for myself, I'd rather have the ability/knowledge/skills to acquire food by hunting, trapping, foraging, fishing, etc. than not, all things being equal. If you want to take a defeatist attitude and not pursue those things, well... that just means you'll be one less person I'll be competing with for food eventually.

I just posted to provide the insight that, this isn't going to ever matter to our situation in any significant way. We have to support/restart our commercial food chain, or its going to get very bad.

I think we're ultimately talking about two different things here. Of course we have to restart the commercial food supply chain. That, to me, goes without saying. It's also somewhat irrelevant to that I'm talking about (which I think is different from what you're talking about). I'm talking about things to do in the interim for base survival... until the commercial food supply chain is working again. It sounds like you're assuming that we're talking about depending on hunting/foraging/fishing etc. as the default way of life for perpetuity. On that point, I agree with you... it's not reasonable to sustain a population of our current size for an indefinite period of time.

As one who does hunt in the suburbs of NY:
Most hunting in the NYC area is done with bows, and some with shotguns. Almost all is done from elevated stands or occasionally cliffs.

The maximum effective range of a bow is 40 yards (above that, and the deer jumps away before the arrow gets there). Shotguns are a little bit higher, but even so, I have never heard of a bowhunter shooting another bowhunter in the area -- one time a novice bowhunter illegally hunting in a park shot a dog, but that's about it.

When you shoot a deer, you do not chase it. You wait for it to expire and then look for it. This is taught in the bowhunting safety course.

The real difficulty is that even in areas where they are overpopulated, there are at most one group of deer per 60 acres, and a bowhunter can barely cover 1/4th acre. Deer do not like to move around, don't follow the same routes every day, and are quite cautious and sensitive to odors and noise. They also spend most of their day in areas such as thickets where a bowhunter cannot get close to them without scaring them off.

So unless the deer happens to walk by the hunter, not smell him, not get startled by his movements drawing a bow, and is facing the proper direction to offer a shot, the hunter will go home empty handed.

> There are many diseases that have killed millions and been around for decades that still have no vaccine (eg HIV, malaria, dengue fever).

Dengue does have a vaccine, but like many vaccines, it isn't 100% effective. While it does reduce the chances of being infected, it also increases the likeyhood of a severe infection (similar to the risk increase from a previous dengue infection) and thus is only recommended for those who have already been been infected once.

Malaria also has a vaccine. It also is not 100% effective but it does reduce infection rates.

In fact, many vaccines are like this and confere some level of resistance rather than full immunity. This further illustrates your point that vaccines and immunity have a wider range of forms than commonly understood and we don't really know what form of vaccine is possible for Covid-19.

Edit: Another example is the typhoid vaccine I got last fall, it is only 50-80% effective.

Yep, I'm using an X1 Yoga, still not nearly as nice to use as OSX on a Macbook Pro that's 3 years older than it, and that's with either Windows or Linux. Ubuntu touchpad drivers are pretty bad, the windows ones are tolerable but still fail at multi-finger gestures. I really like the touchscreen, but the display colors/look aren't nearly as good. Overally pretty disappointed for a system that's close to top-spec when compared to my base spec MBP from years earlier (but it does run my Windows applications for work which I need).
The flu kills around 600,000 each year -

https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/14-12-2017-up-to-650-00...

Covid-19 should kill 30 million.

.5% * 80% * 7.8 billion.

That will be over many years however. Maybe 2-3 years.

Some estimates put Covid-19 at 10 years lost per person average.

If you can get it multiple times, which is likely after a few years, it'll keep killing forever but it'll slow down, and we might even slow it even more in the richer countries, like we sort of bother with the Flu for, if a vaccine is ever possible.

Currently China has an unsustainable model going (School is not back properly) for 1.4 billion. If however they can move to a sustainable model, maybe they might not get it..... Good luck everyone else.

I HATE the touch bar.

I simply H A T E it.

I hate it so much that I started to carry an TKL keyboard all the time with me just to avoid using this piece of sh*t touch bar and internal keyboard (MBP 2017).

As a developer it is crucial that I can use my keyboard without any looks but as there is no way to tell which function key you press on the touch bar the bar itself is completely useless for me.

The issue is the importance of all the existing packages — invalidate them and nobody will use your implementation.

There are small syntactic differences between Emacs lisp and Common Lisp so a lexer that handled those would suffice.

There are some small semantic differences but they could be handled by porting code. And the Emacs c code could be rewritten in lisp or ported into the Common Lisp implementation, depending on your taste.

Tim himself acknowledged in his message that he’s leaving over a million dollars in unvested RSUs on the table by leaving.
Especially in "tech," job tenures are generally shorter than they used to be. It wasn't at all unusual at the big computer companies of the 80s and 90s to have a fairly large group of employees who had worked at a company for a decade or two (or more).

For various reasons, on both the employer and employee side, this has changed a lot especially when you're talking startups--but also companies like Amazon from what I understand. In any case, if the expected tenure of an employee is only a couple of years, it's probably unreasonable in most cases to have a 6-12 month training period during which the employee isn't especially productive.
Right, so it must be the bit depth which is the problem, not the frequencies that can be reproduced

He worked there 5 years, I'd imagine he already made one or more millions.
Downvoted for truth, I guess?
Personally, I brush my fingers across it all the time and trigger random functions.

A touch bar that was pressure sensitive with haptic feedback would fix it for me, but mixing keys that you need to press down with a screen you just have to touch in the same area just creates a mess.
Anecdotally, I’ve been using one of these (different brand but looks exactly the same) with zero issues between a Thinkpad X1 and a USB-C hub. It’s extremely convenient to be able to attach everything (PD, HDMI, USB) from a single cable that’s literally touchless. The magnet and positioning allows it to automatically connect when I set the laptop on my desk, and to use the laptop elsewhere I just pick it up and carry it away. Much better than a floppy MagSafe that only does power.

I've only ever read through Go tutorials but never used it. I've used Java in a small capacity, and while I found some things convenient, some other things were also pointlessly restrictive. For example that syntactic overhead, having to wrap everything in a class. You can't even have a global variable without typing your fingers sore.

Pretty sure that Go isn't equally restrictive (while still being garbage collected).
That's certainly an issue. We solved that, by taking the boys to a local Methodists' Mens' Wild Game Feed (rural church event). The good ol boys brought out everything from the freezer for the season, had a potluck, a fundraiser for the church. We feasted on every kind of fish, pheasant, boar, wild mushrooms, every part of deer imaginable. All grilled or stewed in a machine shed and enjoyed in the attached shop space with big tables set out and everybody seated together.

To this day my boys rave about the pepper deer tenderloin, roasted and sliced thin. Best meal of their lives. And they're all about 30 now.

I switched from Mac to Linux a few years back, haven't regretted it for a second (well, there were a few seconds in there that were touch-and-go).

I now run a tiling window manager (i3wm) on a Debian distro (PureOS, came with the laptop) and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I still use an external Apple keyboard (a magic keyboard from 2015 - y'know, when they were good hehe). The trackpad has never been quite up to the Mac's standard, so I use an external mouse too. But I was using an external keyboard and mouse even on the MBP, so no change there (just the option to switch to trackpad isn't as awesome).

I think we have different subjective tastes, I use my laptop docked most of the time, but the touchpad on macs is the only acceptable one I've used. All others fall that 5-10% below in performance and smoothness that makes them unusable. It's miniscule, but it's the most important final few percentage points.

Not a huge fan of matte screens either, I like pretty colors that pop and rarely work outside. Although I did have a privacy screen on my computer for a bit which was fun.
