Literally every person who is advocating for greater police accountability is, by definition, advocating for better data. I don't think there's an argument here about that. The point of disagreement would seem to be, most people don't believe being unable to fully quantify the corruption of the police means it does not exist.
One of the slogans of the Thin Blue Line is "Sometimes there's justice, sometimes there's just us."

Perhaps less people would see fascist, totalitarian overtones in law enforcement if some segments of the police wouldn't openly state this.

All of those points are fine, but they are points separate from a user using a device.

If you want it for environmental reasons, say that. If you want it for freedom, say that. Both are valid reasons but don't have anything to do with someone using their machine, unless that 'usage' mains doing stuff with the insides. And before someone jumps in to tell that that is the main activity: great, but most people buy those machines to do work that doesn't entail opening it up.

>> Yeah, that looks weird. I'd like to hear the rationale

> How do they expect others to get free from FB and Google when they themselves are on Facebook and Instagram?

I'm guessing it's because Facebook and Instagram users are exactly their target audience.

I quit Facebook several years ago, but I kept my account and continued to occasionally post news articles to my timeline about their scandals and how social media is personally bad for its users. I did this because I figured it would actually help them for me to just delete my account and disappear to their other users, and the best thing to do was to use their own platform to subvert them.

You are happy with the sluggishness in Catalina from security checks over the network before running applications?

The cost of repair is higher because independent shops cannot repair the boards anymore or recover data when your storage, memory, and everything else is soldered directly to the board.

By keyboard shortcuts I'm referring to any software that one uses frequently, whether text editor, email, video editing, analytics, or something else.

You seem to have misunderstood what the article is about.

It's not about turning a shitty image to a nice a clean one. It's about turning a lowres image into a hires version, i.e. you start with 100 x 100 pixels (doesn't matter how you obtained them - could be a section of a much bigger image, for example) and try to extrapolate a 1k x 1k pixel version from it.

The pixelation you see in the examples is just a representation of what little information you have to work with. It's NOT in any way shape or form related to where you get these pixels in from in the first place.

Just to give you a different context here: imagine this upscaling being used to "enhance" a single face in an image like this [1] - there's no way "Gaussian blur" or whatever filter you'd like gets you more information out of that.

In the example image I created, I applied a Gaussian blur to the "pixelated" (i.e. enlarged) version of the marked image section.

As you can see, enlarging the same section using super-sampling (i.e. similar to what you proposed), doesn't change the information content and one version can basically be transformed into the other.

The easiest way to get freedom from facebook and google is to simply not use them yourself. It's the best solution too. It doesn't hurt anyone.

Compare this to the FFFG people advocating for using using government force to control others' behavior. This may solve the problems FFFG perceives but the "solution" does more damage (in terms of actually hurting people) than the problem.
I'd say they can -- especially with the Gen Z group. Snapchat is used to produce videos, images, and texts for either: all your friends (stories), a select subset of your friends (private stories), a subset of that subset (subsequent private stories), specific friend groups, etc.

I've had to help people in my classes fight Apple nonsense proprietary tools because no one could understand why Apple won't let you open a file using your own code. If there wasn't anyone there that understood the issue (and that was almost the case) they'd have to use Windows.

Trust me, macOS is much worse on that front than Windows is. At least on Windows if you have issues with your OneDrive account folders won't start disappearing from your Desktop.

Regardless of any psychological label, the woman is clearly panicking, and the panic is caused by the police interaction. Being afraid and panicking is not illegal. If the police wanted to do this differently, they could issue a ticket for inspection, throw it in the car, and move on with their day. But instead they chose to get in a power struggle.
These things are fairly subjective. But it’s hard to argue that Catalina has good font rendering on regular DPI screens. I dealt with it when I had to, but it was very poor. There are also tons of bugs around it. Like the chroma issue - Apple doesn’t support EDID correctly so fonts look even more terrible on some screens. A google search will confirm these problems.
I came to Mac because copy/pasta into a Windows CMD terminal is/was abysmal in 2010. I didn't know about Powershell at the time, so you don't know if that would have made life nicer.

The other reason I switched was because all of my developer friends knew nothing about Windows, and getting stuck on a maybe Windows problem meant I had to fend for myself when I needed help the most.

It sounds like it's going very rough for you. Have you considered/tried going down the consulting road?

I can't second the GPs post hard enough. Police tend to abuse the poor much more often than they help. When they are there to help it's usually a zero-sum proposition: one poor person, usually a non-white, is gonna get a beat down at the hands of "justice" far out of proportion to whatever transgression against another poor person they may be guilty of.

I grew up poor, white, in a neighborhood with non-whites (black, asian, and hispanic). None of us was safe from the police, though whites were in marginally less danger generally.

It was realized more or less in Mac OS X Server 1.0, which despite its name is more Rhapsody than Mac OS X, and enough people bought it to complain when Apple quickly moved ahead with Mac OS X as we know it and didn’t offer any kind of discount on Server 10.0.

EDIT: Not the best quality, but here’s a demo I found on YouTube for those interested: https://youtu.be/HrHNub_vJtA

Basically imagine NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, but with a Platinum skin, the window server is still a Display PostScript interpreter, there is a Classic Environment in the Blue Box, and instead of the Finder you have NeXTSTEP’s Workspace Manager and its still App Kit and Foundation Kit. Carbon isn’t a thing yet, or it’s in early development and hasn’t been announced yet.

I don’t recall if the kernel had replaced Driver Kit with IO Kit yet though.
I used to use macOS because it was a Unix that looked good and just worked, but both observations have become less and less true with time.

In that same time, Linux really caught up and diverged such that it offers features in its kernel, like cgroups and kernel namespaces, that macOS doesn't match, leaving me to feel as if the old FreeBSD roots of macOS are less of a perk and more of a kludge in 2020.

Today, I run Linux on my MacBook because it is a modern Unix clone that looks good and works well with all of my development tools. Native Docker is a treat.
A lot of commenters here are stating that this is because of increased testing. Which is true compared to April. But I want to point out that at least in southern Callifornia the positive test percentage is actually going up now. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/6-000-plus-Calif...
I am an even poorer proofreader. See my edit.

You can't ignore the overall ramifications of the policy just because you believe that the policymaker has a particular nefarious motivation.

And you shouldn't box people out of the debate by accusing them of hatred just because they don't condemn a policy that you see as being hatefully motivated.

>widespread use of fever checks

I've never understood this fascination with fever checks. I've never had a fever where I couldn't tell I had a fever -- everyone with a fever perfectly well knows they have a fever. The problem is people trying to hide it, I guess? And if they suppress it with medication, your forehead scanner will be useless anyway.

The solution for that is to make quarantine less painful. Here's a list of grocery delivery services, here's a guarantee your employer can't punish you for taking time off work, here's a nursing service that'll call you to check in daily, etc. Enjoy your vacation.

> Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Linux has cost me less time than either Windows or OS X. But that's me; everyone's personal workload and usage pattern is different. My experience with OS X was that any time I tried to color outside the lines, the system worked against me, and that cost me more time. (My experience with Windows has generally been that it just sucks.) I haven't had that experience with Linux.
Because they're focusing on the arch change. And the big change to end users for the arch change? iOS apps run unmodified in catalyst.
That is bizarre, and now that you mention it, perhaps this is related to https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/971
Arch Linux basically demands NO MAINTENANCE. The reason is, Arch is a BASE LINUX SYSTEM, which means once you LEARN THE BASICS, it's IMPOSSIBLE TO GO WRONG. Learn the basics people, it's the BASE OF EVERYTHING. Learn Arch and then you've learned it all. Arch is the base closest to everything so LEARN ARCH and then you'll have NO WORRIES. How difficult is it. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ARCH YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE A COMPUTER. Learn Arch. Then you've learned it ALL. How often do we need to say these things.
That's a chicken and egg problem and has nothing to do with Linux users being cheap. It has more to do with nobody actually using Linux on the desktop. Why would you devote a ton of dev time to supporting a platform with "dozens of us!"?
I am not allowed to use a browser I want on iOS. Do you count this as “using their machine”? The reason is the lack of freedom to do what I want with the software.
I'm not sure why they're making a big deal about this, couldn't the original Rosetta do this too? QEMU has been doing this since (I think) even before the original Rosetta, they call it user mode emulation. You run as if it was a normal emulator but also trap syscalls and forward them to the native kernel instead of emulating a kernel too.

I'm more interested in how they're doing the AOT conversion and (presumably) patching the result to still be able to emulate for JITs. That'd be (comparatively) simple if it was just for things from the iOS and Mac App Stores since Apple has the IR for them still but they made it sound like it was more generic than that.

> I believe almost all of our economic woes could be fixed with an economic approach that treated negative externalities as an expected and common case in a free market and actively pursued policies to mitigate them (as opposed to idolising the free part of "free markets" and treating regulation to fix externalities as a last resort).

I don't really know of anyone that is surprised that negative externalities exists but maybe I'm just sheltered. I think the general view is they exist and occur in economies in the real world.

Further, if we take the definition of externality as "a cost or benefit that affects a third party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit." then there is nothing that would limit externalities to only occurring in market economies, which generally speaking refers to regulated free markets (almost exclusively actually).
Speaking as an ngrok user, their documentation is terrible and has caused me to waste huge amounts of time trying to figure out how to do things or whether it can do things. Take documentation seriously (and no, "it's open source" doesn't count as documentation for a product you ask people to pay for).

Can tunnelto open multiple ports on the same sub domain? Does the documentation explain clearly how to do this or that it's not supported if it isn't?

Do you support https tunneling (for example https to the subdomain followed by either http or https to the local machine)? Do your docs explain how to do this and if you don't support it do the docs say so?

I'd love a competitor to ngrok, but it has to actually be better at the places where ngrok is weak (which have very little to do with implementation or functionality)

Mid-lifecycle because saving 10% on an expensive device isn't what most people are interested in when they are buying something to work on.

Yes, people exist that do that or want that or really need to save every cent possible, but to many others that is not even interesting as a thought exercise.

So I referred to mid-lifecycle because those people that initially don't try to go on the cheap usually only did any part swapping because the machine was good enough and swapping machines was too much of a hassle: upgrades made sense.

Hmm yes I do: https://twitter.com/RDKLInc/status/1275100376350384132

Have you also never had anyone you know spilling liquid on their keyboard after the warranty expired? Or dropped it?

So in the end yes, I am pretty sure that there are literal millions of devices being thrown away because repairing them is too expensive.

Edit: I'll also add that in 6 years using a mac, Apple replaced my macbook entirely twice for some issue that you would hope could be fixed without throwing everything away. So, sure, the customer is happy because they got a brand new device. But personnally I would rather stick with my 1 year old device and reduce environmental impact.
Same here - but it also feels like I got the feature preview notification maybe a week before the feature actually launched, two weeks max. Didn't feel like enough time for me to properly test the new interface, or for them to properly evaluate feedback.
