That is rational postponing, but both can be connected. Procrastination by definition has always something to do with negative feelings. But IMO not so much in the sense of the article. Only a few people care about future emotions, they may come or not. Real are only the ones in the present, characteristic for this trait. To unveil the underlying problem by lifting it up to its rational core might or might not help (not all are within yourself).
I use vscode for programming, but I went back to sublime for jotting down notes.
A likely outcome is that Apple negotiates rates with each developer and simply drops anyone too small to care. So the only options would be free or big, which covers almost all apps and users.
> It has always felt like gravity is the result of some other "thing" going on.

That's basically the way General Relativity works. Gravity is the curvature of spacetime, which is a function of the local energy density at all points. It isn't something that happens, it's just a shape. The things that "happen" because of gravity are just a side effect of the fact that lines aren't "straight" in the sense our intuition demands.

Windows on ARM requires UEFI, so that's not a problem.
There's a lot of commentary here about larger trends towards not requiring the SAT, but Harvard says this isn't part of a larger trend. They just don't want to require students to go to a testing center in the middle of a pandemic, and nobody knows at this point what remote administration options will be available before 2021 applications are due.
This passage near the end resonated with me:

"In our country, a new generation has grown up to assume political responsibility. Our young people are not responsible for what happened over forty years ago. But they are responsible for the historical consequences. We in the older generation owe to young people not the fulfilment of dreams but honesty. We must help younger people to understand why it is vital to keep memories alive. We want to help them to accept historical truth soberly, not one-sidedly, without taking refuge in utopian doctrines, but also without moral arrogance.

From our own history we learn what man is capable of. For that reason we must not imagine that we are now quite different and have become better. There is no ultimately achievable moral perfection – for no individual and for no nation. We have learned as human beings, and as human beings we remain in danger. But we have the strength to overcome such danger again and again.

Hitler's constant approach was to stir up prejudices, enmity and hatred. What is asked of young people today is this: do not let yourselves be forced into enmity and hatred of other people, of Russians or Americans, Jews or Turks, of alternatives or conservatives, blacks or whites. Learn to live together, not in opposition to each other."
Yes, if the regeneration depends on your preference of the generated words, the words order or link between them. The individual generations independent from each other, so if your choice – how many regeneration you do - not depends on the generations outcome, for example on your birthday date or favorite number, their randomness are equal.

But randomness are not enough, it's possible the first generated version correlate with your preference and that situation does not really matter why are you stopped generating new password.

Predictability of this scheme very good, because the strict rules. All implementation using common english words. For words smaller length, easy spelling, less ambiguity are preferred. Mixing nouns verbs and adjectives are more meaningful, order also adds more meaning. Word count very limited. Preference on the separator character also very rigid. Personal preference more known, because hidding your preference on all english words very hard and mostly unconscious.
Let's not exaggerate things. Comparing UC or Caltech is probably best (granted they use less controversial socioeconomic factors). Caltech is 43% Asian American vs 27% at MIT. Note that the race-neutral number is somewhere in between (Asians disproportionately yield to schools that don't use racial preferences because they are discriminated against elsewhere)
Anyone spending a lot of time on pdf's should definitely checkout emacs pdf-tools mode https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools .

I doubt many would find bootcamp on ARM very interesting, especially if that means you need to run Windows-ARM.

The great thing about x86 macs is that you can run x86/x64 versions of Windows, at decent speeds, through the likes of Virtualbox or VMWare Fusion, and have access to a vast amount of legacy win32/win64 applications.

Nobody needs to run legacy arm windows binaries, there simply aren't any around.

It would be a shame to lose access to decent windows VM performance on the Mac.

>allow high performing students to objectively differentiate themselves

Except the argument by people is it's NOT objective. I think the argument goes something like this: rich kid gets full time tutor privately or through school and is able to do significantly better on the SAT/ACT because they have specifically prepared for it.

It doesn't mean they are smarter, or even a better student. It means they have been prepped better for it than their peers that don't have the same luxuries.

If 95% of the time a student scores higher after taking an expensive prep course, does that mean scoring higher really means much? Especially with SO many people taking the test, that little bit makes a difference where are you on the curve.. perhaps people are thinking that the kids whose parents can afford the time and money to give them a slightly advantage on the test doesn't translate into that person being a better student.

Yeah, we did something similar in our apartment in the early 2000's. It was one of those old overhead projector/fresnel lens/repurposed monitor LCD panel deals that were all over the internet at the time.

It was a cool project and when it was just me and a friend sharing an apartment, we didn't care that it was janky (especially since any large format screen was way too expensive for us at the time). But now you can get better performance from a cheapo projector and for a bit more, you can even find decent short-throw models these days.

My current project (that is collecting dust) is a big dual-lamp auditorium sized Epson that I snagged when it was getting tossed out at work. Sadly, while it was working when I picked it up, somewhere along the way from the office and through a couple of moves the auto-iris got stuck/damaged.

It's the most frustrating thing because the projector works fine but when it powers on, there's an error message stating that the auto iris has an error and it won't let you proceed. I don't even care about the auto iris and while I've dismantled it quite a bit and blown out/lubed everything I could find, I still get the error. Apparently they all had this problem but it's way out of warranty and I don't see much point in paying to have a free projector repaired.
A turboprop is a jet engine. The propeller moves a large mass of air, increasing efficiency ... like the current turbo fan engines! lol.

I've read "somewhere" that hollow lava tunnels/tubes could be used. Coat the inside with the plastic mentioned in the blog shared in another comment, and you possibly have an airtight (except for the soil) massive habitat. Although you'd have to string big lights along the top to grow plants.
> The pressure of accomplishing the bigger, harder thing can often drive you to simply knock out the smaller thing to get it out of the way, and that's often good enough.

That's a really interesting observation, and I recently experienced it I think.

I am installing a new ECU in my car in order to tune it myself, something I'm really looking forward to but is honestly quite daunting and possibly expensive to fail at. The entire time the tuning has been on my mind, I've been learning and doing dozens of little things while installing the ECU. Things I'd normally be a bit worried about. Soldering, wiring, drilling and tapping. I've learned a bunch of new things along the way, none of them tuning. Now I'm at the point where I need to do the tuning and I'm so invigorated by the process of getting here that I feel much more prepared to do it.

They are open auctions, yes, but it appears from the article that the BLM has taken steps in the past to cancel leases that have been purchased explicitly to prevent drilling from occurring.

Regardless of how you feel about that, you could make a point that the BLM and ONRR (Office of Natural Resources and Revenue, the department of the Feds who collects revenue from hydrocarbon production) have a fiduciary duty to seek the highest revenue from the mineral rights they own. Canceling leases which will never be drilled would follow this goal.

Now, any environmental damage being more than the revenue derived in the end is another point altogether...

High-end ARM servers support standards called "SBBR" and "SBSA" which means they support UEFI and ACPI. The experience of using them is not very different from using x86 machines: boot an arbitrary OS and almost everything works.

Can we please stop these histrionic comments.... that was a bad human mistake, and your comment reads like you are screaming on top of your lungs to throw all the results away.

I suppose it’s more a question of efficacy.

If an idiom obfuscates the intended meaning then it’s not very good. In this case it really does just get in the way because the metaphor doesn’t really make sense...
I wonder what an alternate timeline would look like where Apple went for AMD semi-custom x86 chips instead of Arm. The Mac Pro would have 64 cores, MacBooks would have great APUs, and Apple would be able to segment their products at their own discretion–not Intel's.

I also wonder if any chiplet designs will find their way into Apple's Arm-based lineup.
If only this tweet stopped at "citation needed", it would have been good. Now it's a sad reverse godwin point.

> > The problem is that Apple has moved to a home-grown stack for it graphics and deprecated OpenGL and moved wholly to Metal. [...] There is no way Apple would create a Windows driver for that custom silicon—it has always relied on AMD or Nvidia for those drivers in the past, it has no in house code base or expertise to write the requisite code in Windows and none of the silicon has been optimized for it.

They're derived from PowerVR cores which do have WDDM (AKA windows) drivers. They're not great, but usable. Paying a third party to write new drivers isn't a crazy idea either.

Remember, they don't have to be perfect, just usable.

> > I don't think there is a standard BIOS for ARM like there is for x86, so multi-boot would probably require Microsoft to support Macs explicitly in Windows on ARM.

Microsoft ARM machines use UEFI. It should work fine if Apple implements an UEFI loader on top of iBoot or whatever.
Imagine an alternate reality where Windows is like the iOS ecosystem.

* No more downloadable exes or installers, or stores like Steam. The only way to install software is via the Windows App Store. If something is not on there for whatever reason: though luck.

* Microsoft can delete all programs from your PC remotely if they feel like it.

* You have to pay Microsoft every year for the privilege of developing on their platform.

* If you charge for your app, Microsoft takes 30% of your revenue. You don't have any other option, except to only provide your app on Linux, losing a large market.

* If you want to support payments inside your application, you have to use the Microsoft Pay service, which also takes a hefty cut, or you have to inconvenience users with side channels like ordering via a website. Which might still get you banned.

* Your app may be rejected or removed from the store at any time. Maybe because you broke some arbitrary rules, because it is politically inconvenient, or because you compete too closely with Microsoft software. Oh, and Microsoft also may mandate to see your source.

* The only way to use private/internal apps is to pay Microsoft for the privilege of using their distribution mechanism.

Ask yourself: in this world, would you happily use Windows as a developer? Would you welcome these restrictions as a consumer?

This is increasingly important as phones and tablets become the primary device for many.

I appreciate that a curated ecosystem has many advantages for users, but most of the above concerns are orthogonal to a well-maintained app store.

Apple makes crazy amounts of money off the backs of developers - on top of being paid for their devices and software by consumers. They are highly incentivized to keep it that way.

(Android has some similar issues, and shows that even with a somewhat more open system there is still plenty of monopolistic potential, but that's a longer topic)
Google Chrome also ignores accents when searching from pages, very annoying.
I mean, is the iPad Pro not evidence enough? The A13 is much, much better than the chips in RPis.
The problem with than plan however, is that many of these devices tend to depend on arcane network hardware acceleration features in order to reach decent switching throughput.

Which rules out OpenWrt on some of the lower-spec pieces if you have a faster WAN connection (Ie. 1gbit), as I don't believe they have support for these on many platforms. (MT7621 is referenced as supported, and Qualcomm's "SFE" being supported in community builds)
Its one way of saying 'CPU year' I suppose.
It's a little different in general relativity, because the mass-energy equivalence implies there really is a zero point -- the gravitational energy of the planet would itself add to the apparent mass of the planet, in the same way that the binding energy of nuclei make the nuclei have measurably different masses compared to the sum of the constituents.
> when we talk about sending say, a spaceship into space, it may fall on a different planet, with a different gravity (a function of the planet's mass), changing the amount of energy yielded by the fall.

In a situation like this, you have to consider the total energy of the system, including both massive bodies and the potential energy due to them. The total energy remains constant, but how it is distributed will change: the potential energy of the spaceship will be different at the end than it was at the start.

> It seems that the energy is being stored somewhere

It is stored in the geometry of spacetime; at least, that's the only way I know of to conceptualize it.

Another thing to consider is culpability.

Even if there is no direct impact (such as another supplier stepping in) an individual choosing to avoid directly, supporting an organization they cannot morally abide has personal moral value.

I don't think it's about "avoiding difficult emotions" anymore. You'd think after years of procrastinating and as a result, getting even worse emotions, the brain would learn to not procrastinate in order to avoid unpleasant emotions.

Imo, it's a brain malfunction/illness. Some spectrum of ADD, some people being affected more than others. Perhaps it was useful in the millions of years of evolution, but it's counterproductive in a modern society.

Which is why I would love for (more) doctors to recognize procrastination/Attention Deficit as a real problem in itself and not just wave it away as a symptom of something else.

A real problem for which there is real, working medication, that thousands of people are happy with. But unfortunately due to the nature of these drugs, everyone shies away from it.

It's not the perfect solution, but it's a working solution. Medication would've changed my life, but I can not get it. And so I continue wasting hours, days, months and years of my life.

Not to mention it causes anxiety and depression, and they continue reinforcing each other, making things much worse.
>What I'm wary of is having to install a shit app from each bank that I have a card from. I'm pretty sure that will be the outcome if they're forced to allow alternative payment apps.

I don't really know how to feel about it.

My bank has yet to implement Apple Pay support. However, they've had a payment application on Android for a while, since they can access the NFC directly. So while Apple Pay might be really nice to use, it might also mean that you don't get anything if your bank doesn't want to play with Apple.

I'm now using Curve (curve.com) to circumvent my bank in order to use Apple Pay. Maybe even if the NFC access was opened up, applications like Curve would still provide an option to use Apple Pay for the people who want to use that.
