> I am curious: why would I want to use AppGet or WinGet instead of Chocolatey?

Better names?

As someone who does not install a lot of things on my Windows systems, if I got a package manager named Chocolatey to install something I'd have trouble remembering the name the next time I want a package manager six months later. I'd remember that I already installed a package manager, but not what it is called.

AppGet I'd remember. I might look for it as app-get the second time, but would quickly remember it is spelled a little different than the Debian program. WinGet would be a little harder, but I think I would remember it.

Seriously, I'm getting a bit tired of programs whose names have nothing even remotely apparently related to with what the programs do.

While on a bit of a rant about names, what the heck is up with the naming of backup programs? There is Duplicacy, Duplicati, and Duplicity. Part of the reason I went with Arq was I kept getting those three confused with each other when reading reviews and comments.

Sure, you might not immediately think "backup" when you hear the name "Arq", but at least there is not also an "Ark", "Arque", and "Ourk" backup too.

There's an adverse selection problem with today's public markets. If you're profitable, in a solid and sustainable business, you a.) usually don't need more cash b.) if you do need more cash, there are plenty of private investors that will give it to you, c.) don't want to disclose your profitability to attract competitors and d.) don't want to spend the multi-millions per year for SOX compliance. So the only reason you have for going public is to unload your shares in an unsustainable business before the rest of the world realizes it's unsustainable. Hence, that's what we get on the public markets.

There are definitely profitable tech companies out there which are still hiring, but they are largely private. Some may have $35B valuations and a few thousand employees, but don't find it worthwhile to go public.
I do think it is more polished in many ways, but Windows is improving with each release, macOS is not.

Thanks for that! He has a link to the un-edited version in the desc as well (for those who want a more complete/easier to follow version).

I played with a cracked copy of Cinema 4D quite a bit years ago (yeah...I know. But I was just tinkering for fun and it's expensive). Seeing how far Blender has come is great! I will definitely be downloading the current version and doing some new tinkering--but without the questionable software or copyright infringement.
> They give you 15% of your cash balance as credit and sweep the payment out of your account at the end of the period

What does this mean, specifically?
Thank you for your kind words. It can a difference to have the kind words of a few strangers. I'm used to these sort of responses now. And welcome it to a certain degree. Insightful comment can lead to interesting discussion. Ignorant ones gives me a platform to educate.

But it wasn't always like this. Leo Horie from Mithril was always supportive early days when it seemed I only was receiving this sort of "feedback" on reddit if any at all.
It seems to be a lot easier for people to think it’s okay as long as it doesn’t affect people that look like them. It’s like the tired “few bad apples” line.

Many of the same people on HN want government involvement because their favorite app can’t be side loaded on an iOS device (a few apps) but excuse police brutality. How many submissions have been flagged
on issues regarding police brutality on HN while submissions about an app that Apple wouldn’t allow make the front page?

It shows you where people’s priorities lie.
They should not do politics. And if they start listing names, maybe include all the statistics. This is dishonest.
Especially since weight doesn't matter in grid applications
I read a great how-to once where someone described a device which blinks in the dark - and only in the dark - that uses the LED itself as light sensor.
What I am saying is that in for both meatbag and AI drivers, the “brakes failed headed towards a crowd” situation is so rare that the driver has neither the time nor experience/training data to make any kind of well-reasoned ethical decisions, and basically ends up performing an action that is close to random, and that the situation is so rare that the impact isn’t relevant when policymaking/regulating AV. It’s like the difference between the deaths from drunk drivers and the deaths from drivers being stung by bees (which do exist, but not enough to make rules like every car needs a bee repellent).
I would say it depends on one's usage. My daily driver is a late 2013 MBP 15" and the performance is more than enough for what I do (mostly sysadmin / light dev for work and Lightroom / Photoshop for my own time).

As other comments have pointed out, a comparably specced PC is not that much cheaper and would be much more of a hassle.

During those six and a half years I knew I could count on this machine and I never had any annoyances with it. If I had gotten a PC which was unlikely to last as long, I would have had to change it at least once, which means going through a period of not quite broken but not quite hassle-free either. And two PCs with the specs of my MBP would have cost more. I'm also OK with paying a premium to not have to deal with those issues (noise, screen sometimes not working, ports failing, keyboards dying, etc — all issues I've had with "pro-level" computers, mostly HP).

There's also the fact that at the time a similar PC was extremely rare (maybe the X1?). I'm talking about a computer with thunderbolt, high resolution display, the ability to run a 4K display at 60Hz, fast SSD. Granted, all those are much more common today.
Do you posit that Constitution never states the rights of the federal government to control entry to the territory of the US?

I have my serious doubts. Spending large amounts of money wisely or blowing it wildly can look the same (HS2?) but the outcome is different.

> The UK has the advantage of printing its own currency

I'm not an economist - how does this work? Is this any different from a person getting indebted on a credit card? Honest question.
Maybe I just need to spend more time studying the material, but I struggle to see how these precompiled frameworks can handle any arbitrary state change one might write into their JS rendering logic.

For example: suppose I want to take an arbitrary JSON structure, walk the entire JSON tree, and render it on the page as a tree of nested elements - i.e. a new subtree of divs for each array or object. None of that layout is known ahead of time, and it can take any shape - be any depth, breadth, etc. Intuitively it seems like very little can be known ahead of time for compilation purposes. Can Solid handle this case? Genuinely curious.
Yes, CTRL+L clears the terminal, but if I scroll up with my mouse, it returns lines that were cleared, making it difficult to distinguish between the two points. On Ubuntu, the closest I have come to macOS's CMD+K is binding a key to either "reset" or "tput", but those have some kind of delay or still add one extra line at the top. On macOS, it's instant, with no artifacts.
Yes.

BleepingComputer was sued and silenced for a negative review (2017)
Yeah, there's a lot of mental divergence going on. Try to talk with someone about directly democratic elements in a state's administration, and many will happily tell you that the same people who are a) perfectly capable of choosing good administrators are also somehow b) absolutely incapable of choosing good policies. Obviously everything you would need to get from a) to b) is choosing someone who is capable of making good policy decisions and then vote for whatever policy that person is arguing for. That's practically a logical proof.
I was looking at that teardown myself to see whether this was the case, and I don't think it's enough information to say -- that's a teardown of the model with 16GB of RAM, so it's not impossible that the 8GB model might leave some of those areas empty rather than switching to lower density chips.
Let's say you hibernated 4 months each year starting at age 35, if you live to 85, that would be an extra 16 years of wall clock life. A person born in the year 2000 could live past 2100, or at least until there are more advanced therapies available. I could see hibernation retreats becoming a big business if this technology works out.

> Crazy people thinking that the Earth is flat doesn't prevent you from circumnavigating it

Crazy people believing that vaccines are a Democrat/BillG/CIA plot will prevent you from achieving herd immunity, if they are numerous enough.

Crazy people who think the Earth is flat will deny your circumnavigation project government funding, if there are enough of them.

In any organisation that is not a totalitarian autocracy, crazy people hurt the organisation's goals. The more numerous and organised, the bigger the gridlock.

The government is what tells where and what things can be built. As, as long as that's the case, then gov is almost 100% responsible for this mess. Sure, the geography of SF is limiting.

Look at cities that let people build where there is need to build, they don't have the kind of housing problems SF does.

SF is wealth deprived (wealth is not money, wealth is your ability to Shelter/food/water/necessities etc). It has so much money and yet, 100K income isn't near enough for a family to live there. The homeless rate is nearly 2%! The bottom 20% is at risk of being homeless. The other 70% can barely afford to make rent.

Compare this to Houston, a city that allows things to be built when it needs to be built. Homeless rate is just 0.2%. The bottom 20% is able to afford to live there and so is everyone else. Look people, there's nothing about hot weather that makes it easier to build buildings. It's the attitude of the people. People in SF need to seriously learn something about supply and demand, and the nature housing.

And, let's keep in mind, Houstons yearly growth rate is much faster than SF, it has added over x4 more people to its city per year than SF! and still is able to handle all that, whilst creating a ton of jobs in the process.
Bpf-lsm is a welcome addition. I can see a new generation of endpoint defense tools built on it.

[Meta] what's with all the auto-collapsed comments.
Absolutely not. Al Qaeda is not anarchist, they have a strict hierarchy, a chain of command, membership lists, payrolls, leaders and so on. Al Qaeda is also not an ideology but a formal organization, unlike antifascism.

There is absolutely no comparison you can make between Al Qaeda and Antifa or Anonymous.
That's small businesses for you. Not all of them are like that by any means but enough are to be difficult to consider losing, income wise, with no guarantee I could replace them.
As I said, if they had the source code, I think they'd try and exploit some third world coder to both maintain and extend the product and say goodbye to me

Considering piracy supporters appear very self righteous about watching HBO shows, Disney movies and so on just because internets allows them to do so for free. And forums such as this are quite encouraging of this behavior. I feel most arguments are essentially "If it works in my favor, it is good and I will call it ethically right thing to reinforce this behavior otherwise it is obviously bad and others should not be allowed to do so.

Terraform Provider for K8s, Liz Rice Container Security Book, EKS Best Practices
I agree there is a cyclical taxation problem, especially since most of those store fronts are rented. High rents are only part of the problem with Prop13... which is that property owners don't care if their land is profitable or even occupied. In some cases that means a little mom&pop store (or a farm) stays open for a lifetime, but in many others it means that a giant mall is shuttered for decades in the middle of relatively vibrant economy in a sub-urban neighborhood. The owners see enough appreciation in value they see no reason to rent or even maintain it. Eventually homeless move in, because "housing costs are too high", and often there is fire damage. The use of prop13 by multi-generational trusts and perpetual tax avoidance by sale of company rather than transfer of title has led to significant blight in an economic boom lasting decades.

The solution to affordablity of property taxes could have been limited to humans (not trusts or corporations) with deferred taxes (lien) until probate. Instead, it will likely be with local municipalities fining ever larger amounts for unoccupied/rented properties based on market value (rather than assessed). Of course the risk that you would need to pay even 0.5%/yr to keep property would drive prices down, which would encourage people to sell or at least rent.
I actually think this is extremely important. One downside of these compilation-driven frameworks is that they would, I assume, make it much more difficult to track with exactly how your code manifests at runtime, and would therefore make it harder to debug. Even setting that aside, I'm a strong believer that "frameworks" (contrasted with "libraries") have a responsibility to bring their own tooling, because existing tooling is less likely to be useful against the new concepts they introduce.

I'm 100% aligned with you on this. The problem is that many people, especially younger millennials, don't follow these social rules. Aside from it being exhausting to listen to them preach their political beliefs at work, you can also be "outed" just by not agreeing with them vocally enough. I've had friends have to leave teams because of this dynamic.
Do you even understand the statement you're making?

By your account, the astronauts to knowing the controls of the spacecraft by heart is a negative. You honestly believe that a CHANGING INTERFACE is less of a cognitive load on an astronaut than a fixed, tactile one?

You also then must believe that we're sending human being s into space without them knowing the controls of the vehicle by heart. Does your mental model of spaceflight coincide with what it's like to learn how the HVAC works a new car when you buy it from the dealership?

Astonishing.
> The first amendment protects you from censorship by the government

It is assumed by the 1st amendment that we have freedom of speech (among many other rights). The amendment does not grant the right, but prevents infringement of it.

At the time of the amendment, there was concern that the federal government might infringe on it, so this amendment specifically called that out.

Later, it became clear that the states had a history of infringing on these and other rights. We fought the Civil War over this. The result was that now states are also enjoined to not infringe on these rights.

Later, it became clear the corporations might infringe on the rights of people, as they, too, were becoming very powerful. This was the anti trust era. It's pretty much settled law that when a corporation attains a certain level of power, as indicated by monopoly status, then they are restricted in their activities. We do not allow the electrical monopoly to cut off power to groups they don't like, or force the signing of terms of partisan terms of service.

Later, during the Civil Rights era, segregationists insisted that people didn't have a constitutional right to eat in the restaurant of their choice, use the drinking fountain of their choice, go to the same schools as others, etc. The federal government ended up sending in the national guard.

These private businesses don't get to infringe on rights just because they're private.

So, the 1st amendment has not only broadened, it has also put the federal government in a sort of supervisory role to interfere when it sees states and business infringing on people's rights.

There is nothing special about a social media company that should give them the ability to infringe on our rights.

So don't debate with flat earthers. Nobody is forcing you to.

Anyway, you've listed three things and one of them isn't like the others. I'll give you a hint: hate anti-vaxxers or not, there have been vaccines in the past that had extremely severe side effects. That is an absolute fact. Everything from that point on is about risk tolerances, tradeoffs and group safety vs individual freedoms, i.e. things debated for thousands of years.

Lumping people who are scared of vaccines into the same category as people who think the earth is flat is the kind of tactic that makes so many of us think ... fuck it, just let everyone say what they want. Total freedom of speech everywhere. Why, because trying to institutionally determine what's "true" is a complete waste of time. Everyone who thinks it's easy ends up causing massive collateral damage by shutting down legitimate and important debate. See how Wojcicki at YouTube has been deleting videos of epidemiologists and Nobel Prize winning scientists for "misinformation". See how she's been forcibly upranking outlets like CNN in recommendations, even though people don't want to watch it and it makes Google lose money. See how Facebook has shut down groups for people who think lockdowns are a harmful policy. See how Google is now censoring "communist bandit" globally.

This kind of childish behaviour doesn't make the tech industry look smart, it makes us look like arrogant fools.
