Sure, but the standard GNU or BSD userland doesn't do that, does it? If you're going to the trouble of implementing your own userspace, then you might as well use a consistent, proper data serialization format (either text or binary, but text is more accessible).
"Why remove [the] config [option]" is easily answered in this case. When Mozilla changed the address bar, they also rewrote a lot of overall address bar code, and the old about:config flag activated the old code pathway—it wasn't just a simple design tweak. You don't want to have all that old code sticking around in Firefox.

What we need is a new flag that changes the design specifically.
Email Address Internalization
I installed the Enterprise LTSC version on my new gaming machine and saw all the usual bullshit you'd expect from consumer-grade Windows 10.

A deceptive setup screen that asks you to create a Microsoft account (you need to use the "Domain join" button to be able to create a local admin account, there is no "local account" button by itself).

Spyware features like "personalization", advertising identifier, etc that I needed to uncheck (during the initial setup process there are at least 10 things I had to disable or say no to), also there's a subtle dark pattern going on with the button to go to the next screen, it's no longer called "Next" but "Accept" instead (even if you disable all the proposed options).

Despite the watermark on the wallpaper correctly saying "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC" I can still only select "Basic" telemetry in the settings. I am not sure whether it's a quirk of the evaluation version or if I need to use a group policy to disable it.
Here you will get (rightly) pitchforked for polarising statements, that are not supported by data.
You are laying it on a bit thick there. How can you justify the next stage of the embrace-extend-extinguish cycle and spying on users as enabling more choice?
Using powershell for a month or so and then going back to doing things with text-parsing UNIX commands really highlights how much better things could be if only we moved past doing things the same way they were done in the 70s.
I don't understand what Apple is doing with the touchbar. Before I used it, I was thinking that the gimmick didn't look as bad as people were making it out to be. After I used it, I returned the laptop.

Why does it activate without any haptic feedback just from brushing against it? Obviously they know how to do both of those things; it's how the trackpad on the same device works!
Get the Lenovo Thinkpad 490. It's the laptop of 2019-2020.
After having lived with this turned on for about a month I am happy to report that it doesn't really bother me at all any more now. In the first week or two it just seemed pointless to me, but over time I actually started using the thing more and more.

It's definitely not a massive improvement and I'm not sure if I'd have added it if I had had the choice but it may be worth just giving it a chance.
What do you do if you have a crowd of police threatening to kill perfectly innocent children?

(Or at least use excessive force without regard for the presence of children: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-georgia-cops-critically-... )
I was sceptical about the Touchbar at first, but then when I got my hand on it to test and really do some actual work, the usefulness of the contextual actions really grew on me.
Then it dawned that I would only be using the Touchbar half of the time, since the other half I have my Macbook "docked" and am using an external keyboard. So I can probably never adapt the Touchbar into an daily workflow. Unless Apple releases an external keyboard with Touchbar, I wouldn't mind the cable, but the price will probably be a no-go.
I prefer NodeJS and Docker.
In the keyboard settings on Mac they make it easy to re-map Caps Lock to Esc.
you could start with the list of what's included in busybox:

the goal of busybox is to provided a stripped down posix userspace for use in embedded devices -- basically, provide enough posix utils to be able to do some useful shell scripting.
I don't think one should suggest Zettelkasten to anyone who is looking for a simple to-do list or note taking implementation. Regular notes are perfectly fine if one wants to take regular notes.

Luhman's zettels weren't random thoughts or casual ideas that popped into his head during a stroll with the dog., but rather full, jargon-laden sentences that were close to publication-ready in quality, sometimes highly abstract in nature. He would take a couple dozen related zettels, arrange them on a table in sequence, rearrange them and eventually have a rough outline for an article or the chapter of a book.

Here's a random zettel from Luhmann's archive, translated by deepl.com. This is 1 out of 90,000 total:

1.6c1 "About an activity, at one time, central and centralization." -- In some ways comparable to the view of Mary Parker Follett, Dynamic Administration, p. 183ff., e.g. p. 195: "Unity is always a process, not a product." -- But she confuses unity and unifying, and says below quite correctly (p. 195): "Business unifying must be understood as a process, not as a product." -- Except, of course, that the word unity does not mean process, this dynamic view is that the process can be described as valuable and characterizes the organizational view, from the finished fake unit to the unification unit process.

USB4 will in theory fix most of this by setting minimum required capability at 20 Gbit/s with DisplayPort Alt Mode, and laying out support for hubs from the start. It still has a painful number of 'optional' alt modes depending on device type, though.
I have a Thinkpad Yoga 3rd gen with Linux that she loves, so she'll probably migrate to that.

I use my old macbook air 90% of the time, and the yoga so 10% of the time. So at least she gets to use it every now and then.
To be fair, I think those features came with the Linux kernel.
I'm using Evernote as my main note taking tool. They've put more effort into making it easier to put notes into it than the other systems I've seen and the PARA system was designed by a guy who used Evernote so it works really well with it.

However, I'm starting to experiment with Roam to write more long form notes to see if I can take advantage of the easy linking capabilities it offers

What's confusing to me is that killing 230 would make social media liable for the content published by its users. It seems like it would require them to control and filter content more, not less.
Is it possible that the civil rights leaders misunderstood meeting for something it was not. For Mark it was a potential PR opportunity to show he is doing something, while keeping business model intact ( it works, why I should I break it ). I suppose that means we are in agreement.

I am trying to think of an anology and it is hard to find something comparable. Imagine vegans going to a slaughter house asking the plant manager to turn off their most efficient lane and Bloomberg reporting the plant not doing enough to satisfy vegan lobby.

Just because people give you a floor, does automatically not mean your petition will be acted upon.
Probably the reasons for attempting to undermine it are more political than practical or ethical.
I think one argument that they could make is that regular libraries are closed during the pandemic and there are thousands of physical copies that people can’t borrow because of the closures. Hence, their making available more digital copies than they physically own can be somewhat justified. The fact that they made that number unbounded is what’s most problematic. Had they just increased their limits by some guesstimated number of unavailable books, it would’ve made for a much easier day in court.
This is true to an extent (and in basically any pro tournament even the best players in the world can disagree about complex interactions and need a judge). But I've rarely found it matters with beginners - just start with vanilla creatures and simple removal if you're worried, my kids learned the structure of your turn, paying for spells and combat in about 10 minutes. Everything beyond a few keyword abilities is just reading the cards, you don't _really_ need to refer to the rules for the most part. This is in stark contrast to Yu-Gi-Oh, we've found, where you can't just play what's in front of you.
Yeah. That would be really nice. I think all that is needed is a wrapper package.

It was less than $2K.

I'll refer you to the other thread trending today about a blogger who upgraded from the Macbook Air I have to a new Macbook Pro and doesn't like it.

I also have Dell and HP equipment, and most of them have weird driver issues with the basic hardware after about 2 years. I don't want to live like that... I currently have an i7 Dell laptop that randomly disables the keyboard based on which WiFi network it's connected to. The other Dell I have spent its first two years of life re-installing the wrong SSD driver with every Windows update (when it crashed, I'd have to boot into safe mode and re-install the correct SSD driver that I kept on a thumb drive).

So, yeah: Dell is out. Looking at other brands, and desktops.
I don't get why they didn't do a transitional design for a few years. Replace the Thunderbolt ports with USB-C but leave the rest the same. It takes me probably damn near a decade to cycle even half my peripherals to a new interface, and I bet that's closer to the norm than people going out and replacing 100% of their stuff with USB-C and Bluetooth within a year, so going to using a port that I had not even actually seen yet in the wild when they switched cold-turkey was a baffling decision.

Hell, to this day the only actual USB-C devices I've seen in person are Apple peripherals and monitors catering to Macbook users, which almost all include other ports anyway. I'd add Android phones but those mostly have USB-A connectors on the other end of the cable (like the iPhones that were shipping for a while after the USB-C Macbooks came out—there's another giant WTF). USB-C market for flash drives seems to suck (form factor's worse, price is higher).

[EDIT] oh and when the new port is intended to replace all other ports the half-life on "legacy" devices for me probably goes from ~10 years to ~20. Seriously. WTF Apple.
I see that it was sloppy of me to use the term ethics so loosely.
Agreed. Pen and paper is great for taking notes

Yet discoverability becomes a huge challenge. I find that I almost never go back to reference those paper notes. I'd need a good system to keep those notes organized
Prior to a court judgement, yes. After? Uncharted territory.
Yes, I agree. This issue is super-nuanced and I believe Mark has spent years (since the 2016 election fiasco) looking into this as well as being advised by top minds to arrive at his current position. These employees are acting emotionally now but will realize the value of Mark's position over time (in my opinion).
> Seize the means of production!

Many employers give away the means of production via RSUs, and the standard advice is to sell them and buy index funds so that you're diversified across multiple means of production.

Don't know if Marx would approve, but it seems clearly better to me that Microsoft workers can own some Amazon and vice versa, so if one company goes down the workers don't end up losing everything (as they would if they only owned the company they work for).
That makes sense, but for me when I started learning, Intel just made more sense: I could see which one was being multiplied by the scale, and what was being added; The indirect addressing syntax reads like algebra. AT&T, OTOH, just felt weird and inconsistent: Why is the offset on the outside of the parenthesis? Why are commas used?

The biggest thing for me is that the parameter order doesn’t follow the Intel or AMD opcode manuals; I have to flip the operands in my head to compare them to the opcode manual.

I’m not saying people are wrong for using AT&T syntax, or that it’s not intuitive for some. Just that Intel felt more intuitive to me.
Typical case of software using seemingly high-tech jargon and buzzwords to up/oversell an otherwise uninteresting project.

Even if the library books were _entirely_ inaccessible during the pandemic, that doesn't mean that they temporarily become the property of IA to disseminate as it wishes.

I can understand if IA were to make the argument, "Because libraries are closed, we are buying more copies of books so we can make them accessible via Controlled Digital Lending."

But IA's argument has been, "Because libraries are closed, we now have the authority to pretend that those inaccessible physical copies belong to us, and we're merely lending them out."

Full disclosure: I'm an author, and at least one of my recent books has ended up in IA's emergency library. I'm all for copyright reform, but I'm not for an all-out end to copyright, which is what would need to happen for IA's scheme to be legal.
There is a core difference in these. Two really. Consent and violence. A police doing their job is often acting against your consent and invoking violence. Doctors don't. Well cutting you might be violent, but they are sure to get your consent and it is for your well being, to say nothing of the difference in training requirements before a doctor is allowed to touch you with a scalpel. And then they have to carry malpractice insurance while cops do not have to do similar.

When a police officer arrests you, they are doing something to you that in any other situation would be a major crime and it is not done in your best interest. This significantly changes the reasoning and, especially in light of recent events, needs a significant improvement in how it is currently legally treated.
> b) "Change active hours", which can be used to specify an 18-hour window within which, "We won't automatically restart your device during this time"

Why are you lying? That part has been there for a long time and doesn't work anyway, just google for 'windows 10 ignores active hours'.
I think it depends on the region or maybe even the time period (maybe those promotional deals only run for a certain period of time and eventually get renewed, if you're unlucky enough to reinstall while in the correct region/period you get it).
It seems that the self service kiosk just stops functioning if it thinks something is wrong.

I'm not sure how many high intensity "you're stealing!" confrontations really occur.
> For Mark it was a potential PR opportunity to show he is doing something, while keeping business model intact

The whole point of the newspiece is that Zuckerberg is adamant in doing absolutely nothing, even when repeatedly and directly promoted by civil rights leaders.

> Bloomberg reporting the plant not doing enough to satisfy vegan lobby.

There is no "lobby" that requests, say, that racism is bad and that citizens of a specific ratial background should be repeatedly subjected to violence, or that racism should grow rampant in mass media. This is no special favour that a niche interest group seeks special privileges. Once we recognize that all men are created equally, racial violence ceases to be a debatable subject where it's reasonable to support it in any way or form.

Elbrus is a more interesting architecture and presents many benefits over existing architectures; allowing it to be lost would be bad for both technical and political reasons.
Thanks! This was my intuition too, good to hear a real-world example.
Just to add to this answer and perhaps save you the click, what he is referring to is that the force pulling the water upward at high tide is not the direct gravitational pull of the moon. It is that the gravitational force from the moon at the edge of the earth is greater than the force at the center (because it is closer to the moon). Similarly the force on the opposite side of the earth is less (because that side is further from the moon than the earth's center). So the water molecules are drawn away from the center of the earth (near side because they are being pulled slightly harder than the center of the earth, and far side because they are being pulled slightly less hard than the center of the earth). Hence the high tides on both sides of the earth, not just the side closer to moon.
The problem with disabling the Touch Bar is that it becomes difficult to adjust volume, brightness, and other things that were once easily accessible and addressable by muscle memory. Personally, I have encouraged those affected to return these machines and email Tim Cook (Apple) to let them know they refuse to pay extra money for something that makes the computer harder to use.
Benefits of Using Feature Flags for Bug Fixing
The argument is that you shouldn't have to disable it to begin with.
She's right, and not just about r/T_D but in so many other subreddits, -- some stood up for the singular purpose of being racist, and some that are just racist on top of whatever other thing they represent -- and the uncomfortable truth is that to some degree any profitable online community/social network is forced to at minimum tolerate casual racism. To stamp it out is too tall a task for any social media platform of any significant mass... including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and so on.

It's also worth mentioning, at least, the conspiracy theory that Reddit is proactively censoring sinophobic speech on it's platform. But, I don't know if that's been proven for certain.
> USB-C hubs are not possible like you could do with USB 2 or 3

TIL. Why is this not possible?
Right, but these filters are not quite trivial. How would you filter (MRR by Upvotes, MRR by comments and subscriptions or all). I think it depends, that's one of the reasons I have implemented an impact score combining MRR, user engagement and so.

It's just more simple to filter. Therefore, a feedback item with 10 upvotes can have an impact score of 40, while a feedback with 100 upvotes can have an impact score of 3.
This article is utter drivel and full of contradictions.
This guy claims to be a developer and he seems to think its all about syntax. He thinks problem solving is alien to coding.

I pity the fool who hired this developer.
How exactly did Reddit "amplify" r/the_donald? First, they removed that subreddit from r/all and created Popular so non subscribed users wouldn't see it.

Then they quarantined it for being anti-police.

Then they tried to replace it's moderators with their own handpicked ones.

The old mods decided to lock it down so no one can post. It's been like that for a few months. It's a shell that points people to a reddit clone specfically for the_donald style posts.

What more do people want?
It shocks the conscience that the US police regularly use equipment and tactics that would be a war crime in foreign countries.
That's a valid point that I've yet to see anyone in this thread make. The arguments against vitamin supplementation in this thread seem to be challenging the validity of supplementation, which was the point of my post.
Not what I'm asking.

"[bad retina support] is not Apple's fault"

Yes it is. Apple chose a resolution that was not 1/nth as dense and thus everything non-retina needs a lot more work to fix. Apple could have implemented and tested it better. This is 100% on them.

I'm a donor and am now torn between donating more so they can get through it or cutting donations as it's all going to get passed to the publishers (given what appears their legitimate concern with IA's behaviour on this)

What's the best approach?
Technically you can't, as being inadvertent means you lack the mens rea to commit theft. More colloquially it is used to describe any accidents in your favor with terms of paying for purchases. Forgetting to scan an item, accidentally having two items get stuck together and only scanning one, and similar incidents.
> This would be a great opportunity to avoid the classic Unix mistake of using text files as the lowest common denominator everywhere

There are a great many who do not consider this to be a mistake. The fact that after half a century, Unix-like operating systems and programming environments are de rigueur is plain enough evidence of this. I can't think of much else in the whole field of computing that has had this kind of staying power over such a long period of time, excepting perhaps the idea of binary digital computers themselves.

Fun history note: Part of the reason the Unix userspace and development chain lean so heavily on text processing is because its inventors were tasked with designing a system for more powerful tools for the writing and production of technical documentation. But they were dyed-in-the-wool systems and programming nerds so stand-alone documentation tools were not very interesting. So their solution was to invent a new OS, borrowing the features they liked from other OSes they had been exposed to, under the guise of delivering a documentation production system. If it turned out that this Unix thing they came up with happened to be an excellent programming environment as well, that was just a nice bonus as far as management was to be informed.

One of the greatest hacks of computing history, if you ask me.

Edit to add: As others have pointed out, you are hardly restricted to piping around text. And if you do, the power of text is that you can impose arbitrary structure on top of it, e.g. tabular data, shell scripts, XML, YAML, JSON, etc. Saying it's too bad Unix abstracts everything as text files is like saying it's too bad microprocessors abstract everything down to either a one or a zero when far more interesting number exist.
