That is an excellent concern. I've not generated my initial analysis of the concept of rhetoric yet, but it is a common topic in the wiki (it's a word I have wielded hundreds of times in it so far). I have a lot to say about it, but I don't want to flood you. So, I'll hedged-conservatively ack in our dialectic here. I suggest that whatever is normatively valuable about rhetoric can be analyzed in terms of rightness or beauty. When rhetoric is used wisely, it is a justified beautiful hack in expression.
> I have always been in disbelief of people who have to type for a living and also like Mac keyboards.

Why the disbelief?

I'm not necessarily a fan of Macs or their keyboards, but generally speaking, I've been able to adapt to almost all types of physical keyboards without issue. They did not affect my speeds on Typeracer, and while I preferred some key types over others, no physical keyboard switches were never deal breakers for me, whether they were mechanical or domes or whatever. I've been typing going back to the 80s, so I've lived through the great IBM and Apple mechanical keyboards of the time.

The only keyboards I could never get used to are the pure touch keyboards like ones on the original Surface covers.

Look, I will never ever use mDNS. I have never ever needed to use mDNS because I don't mind using an IP address. We have our preferences but why are you forcing your preference on people?

I am very bitter about this too. I turn on a computer and it broadcasts excessive details about itself to anyone that will listen to it.it does things I did not ask it to do and refuses to do things I need it to do because people like you think there is one way everyone should do things.

What on earth is stopping you from turning on Avahi and using mDNS right now? Clicking on a checkbox in system settings? What else is there to it?

I will continue to complain on how chatty this and a plethora of other things are. Actually their chattiness is not the issue, the fact that they sent even one packet of that protocol is my issue, or more importantly that they listened on that port offerinf network services on my client computer. So, now when there's a vulnerability abusing that service, a service no one uses, well too bad then right? A network service is an exposure, people/apps should opt into not opt out of exposures!
I wish the author explored land ownership as a potential reason for the wealth disparity. Most people have a lot of their wealth locked up in land value by middle age so it's a major component of a lot of these "net worth" numbers. The the overwhelming majority of white families in the 1950s and 1960s bought cheap land in suburbs that is now worth obscene amounts of money. Even after you divide by the number of kids most of those people had it's still a substantial chunk of change to kick-start the next generation's wealth building.

Intel 24-Core CPU Teases 10nm on Server Platform – Tom's Hardware
I find USB-C to an almost scandalous regression in technology. Few people seem to be talking about it given how much frustration I would think there is over it.

My MBP has 2 USB-C ports. That’s all. Of these ports, the options to expand off of them are slim to nil. I have not encountered a single hub or multi port adapter, including Apple’s that works properly or reliably.

Essentially it is a situation where I cannot use more than two of my USB-C ports at once, which usually means I can only use one, as the other is always reserved for charging.

The hubs are trash. The adapters are trash. Near all of them are from brands I have never heard of.

The whole thing just seems broken. But notebook manufacturers, especially Apple, have now been doubling down on it for years now.
The touchbar is super useless unless you install something like MTMR[1] to customize it. The downside of course is that you need to be comfortable with some code to modify it outside of any pre-defined profiles. But even then I don't find myself using it much.

Also while Mac's aren't meant for gaming, when I do game I find the touchbar to be a poor replacement for the F keys. I play WoW and have F1-F5 bound to certain abilities and having zero tactile feedback during something as fast-paced as combat is frustrating.

Additionally, totally agree with the webcam complaint. I don't use it very often, but I was definitely expecting more from it when I first used it. A $2k laptop should have a better camera than my ~$600 laptop from a few years ago.

All that being said, I do also agree with the praise-worthy part of the post. I've really enjoyed how intertwined my iPhone and Mac experience are. Being able to effortlessly take/make calls and texts from my laptop without having to install an app on the phone or waste a bunch of time configuring things is really wonderful.

The speakers are also wonderful and the laptop itself runs surprisingly silently, even under high-load.

I've found that as a software engineer, the best note-taking medium for me is just one massive GitHub repo. It takes a bit of extra planning and oftentimes a bit of reorganizing to keep things in the right place, but I feel like as a software engineer it's the one place I can truly keep all my relevant notes in one place. I can keep code snippets along with markdown notes files along with little hello world apps I build out.

notes
- OS
-- mutexes
-- concurrency
- architecture
-- microservices
--- serverless
--- MOMs

etc etc... I think it's very useful to me to keep high-level notes next to actual executable code. But perhaps most importantly is the ease with which I can replicate and reference other notes. While I'm writing out notes on concurrency with Go, I can easily reference or fully copy over my high-level concurrency notes.

It's a little bulky, and requires a bit more overhead, but I think for a software engineer it's one of the best ways to keep all your thinking in one place.

I bought a 2012 MacBook Air when it was new with the 8GB RAM upgrade, and it's the best computer hardware I've ever purchased. The 2013 Macbook Air the author uses was only an upgrade in CPU and Wifi. I still use mine almost daily, although I only do hobby projects on it. Upgraded the SSD last year and replaced battery a few times, and it's really still an extremely capable thing while being thin, light, with a great keyboard and trackpad.

But I'm afraid Catalina is the end of the line for its major updates. This was the most expensive computer I've ever bought with my own money, and I've learned the lesson that it pays off to spend money on good hardware. But I can't seem to find to find a great true successor yet.

I understand that Windows can service me just fine, but I really want to avoid paying money/time/attention/dependance into fixing its user privacy hostility. I use Linux on the desktop, but on the desktop I can tolerate its papercuts - coming from a seamless touchpad/software/wifi/battery life/display scaling experience on a Mac is hard sell to spend more time being a sysadmin (I know it's gotten better - but I think it would still require too much of my time). This year's MacBook Air looks actually great, but Apple looks to be replacing it with an ARM laptop next year. I'm actually excited for that change, but I'm not really super enthusiastic about being early adopter or the implications for the support lifecycle of their Intel Macs. In any case, being able to replace the battery or SSD is a big question mark (or just a big 'no') in any Apple hardware now.

When I bought my Macbook in 2012 I never expected 1) to have it last for eight years and 2) that finding a replacement would be such a game of tradeoffs.
It reads to be that you’re being purposely obtuse. Any security is going to take into account the appearance of a person. Undoubtedly you understand what that means in practice in America—-that appearance has been boiled down to just race: “be on the lookout for a black man.” It’s lazy and should be called out so that police are forced to do work and learn the difference between a non-violent angry person and a violent angry person in a crowd.

While toxic amounts of basically anything are bad, introducing random facts that have no bearing on what is discussed can mislead some readers into thinking you're making a point related to the topic at hand. While it may be unintentional, this is misleading and therefore not helpful.
Basic bit and byte knowledge, like some other "foundation" stuff. Basically, that everything in computers are numbers under the hood.

A bunch of things I can just think where the bit and byte stuff has helped me:

- Database structures: smaller is usually faster, and you save storage. If you know a column can only store numbers from 0 to 16, make it TINYINT UNSIGNED (one byte, 8 bits) instead of 4 bytes (32 bits). Think of x4 storage gain, think when you have hundred of thousands of rows...

- Encoding stuff: learn some hexadecimal to be able to scratch your head around the bytes of anything instead of being blind about it.

- For critical or limited storage (or making smaller packets/transfers), you can use "bit masks". Instead of using 8 bytes for 8 flags, you can use just one byte (8 bits) and just "flag" each bit of it.

Etc.

My wife's been having repeated AV glitches on her '19 Macbook Air. Video audio cuts out after a few minutes very frequently, across browsers and even on local players and for audio on locally-downloaded podcasts. Video calls do similar things, which has, you know, been a problem. Best I can figure is there are some bad software + hardware glitches with some of the Siri-related stuff and maybe the fingerprint chip. Disabled Siri but it still happens. Apple store's seen it and reset it and been like, meh, it's fine, but it's very much not.

Never seen this kind of flakey-out-of-the-box bullshit from Apple. I really need a new machine but I'm holding out for a better run than what they have now. And maybe some undoing of their recent price hikes (they used to drop prices, substantially, with some frequency, in the distant past of a few years ago and earlier). Plus all the damn dongles. My '14 has lots of ports and zero USB-C and those ports are great, and I still don't have anything that's USB-C aside from adapters for work laptops, so... why do I want only USB-C again, and no other ports at all? Maybe in another 5-7 years it'll make sense. Give them time to switch all their iDevices to USB-C and for me to replace all those (they last many years, that's why we buy them). Then at least my laptop and iPads and iPhones and such can share peripherals, which is moving toward some kind of benefit to offset the loss of ports.
This is the same whether it is mortgage backed securities or treasuries too.

I would consider this faux controversy because exactly what kind of person would be a better steward of these decisions. The "revolving door" is funny to see how ridiculous it can get, but really who of the citizenry would be better prepared to steward these organizations? What exactly would the pedigree of that person look like?

The Fed was ALWAYS going to be forced to buy corporate debt as it expanded the universe of eligible assets. This was predictable no matter who at the Treasury negotiated with the Fed that "the time is now".

To me, the only controversy would be the tax implications of the sham transfer of his stakes in his company. But actually, we don't even know if they neglected the taxes and it probably isn't a real issue for them as they'll just report it and try to offset the tax footprint just like everyone else.

If it wasn't corporate debt, it would be mortgage backed securities, or leverage up on treasury bonds, or even higher leverage on currencies. There are always information asymmetries and that isn't controversial, except in single issues of companies in the securities market.
No, that doesn't track. Smell impairment (not even loss) only comes with very severe zinc deficiency- which is not happening over a single day. I lost my sense of smell over roughly 8 hours. There are also tons of other symptoms of zinc poisoning that would be very obvious. It doesn't make sense that it would do smell, but not sight or hair loss.

People have been trying to tie covid to zinc since the beginning, IMO mostly out of desperation. Zinc oral sprays were pulled by the FDA for causing permanent total loss of smell- by coating the inside of your nose with zinc. People just wanted it to be related.
I'd say it raised a lot of awareness, which is exactly what protests are for. Protests don't create laws, they raise awareness. Based on that awareness, people vote and change laws.

Besides extensive studies, there is little reason to be sure any particular intake of a particular nutrient or medicine is optimal. What is considered "natural", "normal" or "sufficient" is not necessarily the best in terms of the results you are going get.

Theoretically it is well possible (unless real studies indicate it's not) unnaturally huge dose of a particular nutrient may happen to be very beneficial. It is also possible deficiency in particular nutrients may happen to be beneficial too.

Although I'm not actually one of vitamin mega-dosing maniacs, I actually believe the chances the official RDAs (let alone ordinary rations) are optimal are fairly low.

In general, yes, but not in this particular context: it is extremely common to have shortages of vitamin D, B12 and magnesium, and would take quite a bit of effort to overdose on them.

(I have already been taking all three as supplements for the last year due to other research suggesting that having a shortage of them worsens ADHD symptoms)

There's also an important element of period performance style. Modern performers learn to play with a very different set of default skills than in Bach's period.

True, if it was billions to one, I'd probably agree with you. It's not though, not being peaceful is pretty much one of the core defining features of the black bloc. And let's not go down the road with claims of "all the other instances are Nazis or undercover cops trying to hurt the movement". I have serious doubts regarding the Nazis (I knew a few people in Antifa circles back in the day and you don't go unnoticed with your shit just because you wear a black sweat shirt, like every sub-culture they have lots of Shibboleths), and the undercover cops are mostly observers, not instigators (though I'm sure they will take part in riots if it helps their cover or their case).

> See how that works, or rather, how it doesn't?

My point is that disowning a member's actions when they aren't considered favorably post factum is what pretty much every group does. If Antifa/black bloc were actively promoting non-violence, that would be a different issue, but this rather sounds like the Daily Stormer saying "we don't condone violence wink wink" when another one of their goons snaps and shoots up a mosque.
Shame to see this doesn't get much attention here, as this seems like an attempt to solve a common efficiency problem.
