I guess you are lucky that you don't live here then. At the moment, just seeing the Telegram icon on the home screen will result in police scrutinising you more. Having something called "Riot" on your phone when people are currently being accused of Rioting for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is just a liability. This is especially true with the new National Security Law which is being past imminently now.
It's the impulse that's lead to more shaming that's also pushing to make the police come and arrest you for saying offensive things- at least, this is already the case in europe.

And why not swat someone? If you're going to go after their livelihood and try to stop them from ever having a job again, you're half killing them anyway. People murder each other for less. Be honest and just have their dog shot already ;)

Thanks for the clarification. I'm guessing people are just looking for the inevitable pitchfork worthy big bad breaking change, but we haven't found one yet (although I'm slightly annoyed my Macbook will be out of official support with this release).

@dang - I flagged this for the editorialized title, in my view it's worth updating this to something like "Restrictions on reading dynamic libraries in macOS 11".

22 yrs. experience as a Texas licensed Irrigator here. It's true that the bureaucrats are using a "tiered" system to discourage lawn irrigation. Lawn or landscape irrigation uses tens of thousands of gallons of water each night it comes on, the usage of a house for a whole month in one night.

Those who installed water pumps for the wealthiest living along the lakes in Austin were fantastically profitable before covid19. Water is the new tax in Austin. Water front customers regularly speak of $1000 a month water bills before converting over to lake water . . . which is completely legal, the LCRA charges about $150 a YEAR for over 325,000 gallons of raw lake water.
God, whom sent His only son to die for your sins
You are pretty far from the mark here... A study as far back as 2002 recognised the US as an oligarchy — i.e. not a democracy. And to call their legal/judicial systems or process “highly functional” is also pretty laughable.

George Floyd shouldn’t have come into the line of fire of these systems, he was an innocent man. The fact that it was and is so difficult to prosecute the responsible officer shows how dysfunctional the system is.

Using shame as a system of justice relies on emotional charge at the point of infraction. I would argue that’s how mob justice starts, not how we end injustice.

Depending on the flow of the skate park it is a ton of fun to just ride the flow of the park. You don't even need to do any tricks just ride it all is an immensely good time.
Here's how I look at it.. when writing code, you need to run it to try it.

Often people refresh the browser or re-run their CLI program until their feature is finished.

But if you think about it, every "refresh to check if it works" is just a manual test. TDD is just making that manual test automated.

1. Write that test (that you'd anyway have to run manually)

2. Write code until test pass

3. Repeat 1 until done.

Code that aren't designed with a test-first mentality is often really hard to test and require complicated tools or need to mock the whole world.

For the examples you've mentioned:

- I'd unit tests the db service layer (I.e. functions to
fetch from db, make sure schema is valid)

- I'd unit tests the various API queries (I.e. filtering, pagination, auth)

- At the controller level, I'd just unit test the business logic and data fetching part.

- Then I'd add a few E2E tests for the UI and user interactivity.

But if you think about it, any of these tests would have had to be run manually anyway. I.e. You'd probably have queried your API with various options and refreshed the page(s) a few time to make sure data was fetched correctly.

Well. Okay, I think. Thanks for asking. My partner and I were fortunate enough to switch to full remote work right as the pandemic started in NYC early March. We were even more fortunate to have a family's 2nd home upstate to flee to for some fresh air and space.

Work has been manageable. As some mentioned, definitely a lot more hectic dealing with varying WFH personalities across the organization. Not every day is a productive day but it doesn't feel too far off pre-pandemic productivity levels (including all the time lost in commutes/meetings/etc.

Personally, my partner and I have had some challenges:
-Cancelled and postponed our wedding to 2021
-Nearly lost a family member to COVID
-Lost 2 grandparents to non-COVID related illness
But ultimately, spirits are better than expected. Our biggest challenge now is deciding whether to re-sign our lease in NYC and start spending more meaningful time there this fall. To be honest, I can't see the COVID risk being all too much different there vs. other parts of the tri-state and major populated areas. I think it might come down to how much is open and what sort of quality of life that provides outside of our small, but not unmanageable, apartment.
They are criminals.
It never ceases to amaze me how different people are. For me, all effects have been the exact opposite. Less going out, so more cooking and healthier eating. Less tired from open office noise, so more energy for sports. More free time without commute, so I picked up some long forgotten hobbies again.

This means my advice might not apply to you, but if I may still recommend one thing: ignore most of the news for a while. The sensationalism can get infectious. There won't be anything deserving of the name war in your country (the US, I assume).

Left-wing social movements, while initially well intentioned, tend to eat their own in escalating purity spirals. Total ideological purity is demanded, and valued above competence or actual results. The apotheosis tends to be something like Communist "self-criticism" sessions where people are forced to confess their thought crimes.

Great news for Finicity, but the name of the acquirer though is somehow seen as 'offensive' by others and on behalf of everyone who is offended, we need to tell this payments giant to immediately change their name right now. We must boycott all banks that have cards that use this payment network and cancel their accounts because of this offensive name. /s
Thank you for sharing this, I've never seen KOMP before and it looks wonderful.
> They should just skip the stat(), and go straight to calling dlopen().

But `stat`ing it used to be fine on a Mac. And `stat`ing it is fine on other OSs. Why force software to change for no apparent reason just to appease the arbitrary whims of Apple? (And if it's not an arbitrary whim, you'd think they'd at least hint at the upsides of this, no?)
How would we write our own libraries?
>Some interesting patterns emerge, such as how with you can have compact and republican-biased but not compact and democrat-biased maps for some numbers of cities. This is a direct result of one party being forced into a small geographic area (cities).

That's quite an interesting finding. I always understood that gerrymandeting is bad because the artificially winning parties get congressmen that are not representative of their districts. This guy uses "competitiveness" as a property worth optimizing for, achieving exactly that.
The author claims to know many people who happily run five year old machines. I guess I might know a few too, but I know many many more who jump on every new generation just as soon as they can. This is especially true in the Apple world, where in pre-COVID times people literally slept on the sidewalk to get in the store first on launch day. The number of people who actually care about Apple support for a five year old product is probably pretty small.

There are reasonably-debatable reasons why people should stop buying Macs. A shift to ARM is not one of them.
> Or at least the story will have to include some discussion of NYT’s strategy of doxxing random bloggers for clicks.

In fairness, they overtly slandered a group of schoolchildren and sent a nationwide mob after them (including celebrities who made very thinly veiled threats against them on social media). That didn’t seem to drive much ethical change within the NYT, so I don’t have much hope for this (“merely” doxxing a psychiatrist/blogger) to reform them.
Looks nice, what does it do that something like draw.io doesn't?
When you say "Starting To" I presume you mean from about 2015 on. It's clear Windows is trying to pick up slack and also be cloud developer friendly with WSL integration.

Apple sticking with Intel and now reverting to a terrible proprietary cpu architecture, locking software down more and more, releasing pro versions with inadequate options and keyboard all acts to ensure they lose their status as top developer environment

Before they dropped powerpc for intel, no one would have considered using a mac for dev work.

It's clear they don't understand the developer market at all or are only interested in Mobile because the revenue is insane.

They had a good ten years as the best dev environment but as they say "The King is dead, long live the King".
I had something similar. My comment actually had a lot of upvotes, but dang rebuked me for being inflammatory. Really made me rethink whether I am writing something to share knowledge or just to anger someone.
I think mostly people argue that people who are OK with it don't know any better, don't know how much they're being tracked, etc. I don't think that's true today, everyone knows these companies know everything, even if they're not very tech savvy, and still they don't care as much as privacy advocates wish.
The legal implications seem to be a deal breaker. Even if you don't earn any money, you are most likely to receive a cease and desist letter and have to pay. Even if its a fun project, its not funny anymore if you have to pay your entire life.
I've tried it quickly (I'm currently a Google Keep user but I'm looking for some alternatives) and it seems very nice! Maybe somebody knows: is there any way (even considering sync to some CalDAV service) to share a list/multiple notes between multiple users with different accounts?

Yeah that's mind blowing to me. Lots of people think these ultra successful people are just immensely talented but overlook the insane amount of work they put in. My new theory for success is around obsession. If you find something that you can be completely and utterly obsessed with, that's how you can ultimately cultivate enough skill at it to be successful.

Samsung is partnering with AMD for the GPUs in their Exynos chips. Apple could do that or partner with Imagination again. For Mac Pros they could still stick with dedicated AMD cards. ARM does support PCIe and there are ARM servers that use AMD/Nvidia for GPGPU[2]. So Apple does have options and we'll see what they end up doing.

One way to do it is to expose it as an nvme block device. Not sure how that's used from userspace, I suspect it's either the right combination of mmap/vmsplice/sendfile from userspace to do p2pdma between the devices in question or some custom ioctls.

Why is there not competition?

If you can give a reporter ongoing "access" to less-public information, you can extract concessions from them. Scott Alexander doesn't have enough weight for them to worry about burning a bridge with him.
Having a bias doesn't in itself imply lack of objectivity, in relation to what we call 'facts' and 'truth'. It would seem somewhat of a coincidence if 'center' (politically) is right where that lies.

Not that I'm saying that 'reality has a liberal bias', as some would. I personally think it has a left bias, but I'm not nearly certain enough of my opinions to make that claim!

> I assume this is for privacy (an app can’t fingerprint you by looking at which libraries you have)

Well I mean it only applied to system libraries. And for those you can now just `dlopen` and check for failure, so it can't be about privacy.

> Why are they locking down my device from me?

I mean isn't this what Apple has been doing at least since the turn of the millenium?
IMHO, not worth it. Too big of an attack surface and you spend all your time on security. That's probably why Outlook de-listed you, too.
Hence why I said house/space. I currently live in a single (small) room, too.

Every room has four walls.

My room is dedicated like this:

Northern wall: Desk with laptop. Go here for work/creativity.

Southern wall: My bed is here. Sleep only.

Eastern wall: My worktop is here for cooking.

Western wall: I drag my chair over here when I want to read or watch something.

Floor in the middle: Exercises.

You don't need to have a lot of space to make dedicated spaces. It's more of a mental thing.
How is it valuable? Having a "red" or "blue" district means the congressman is somebody most people can get behind, "our guy in the parliament".

But, and this is the important point, stating your opinion today may actually hurt you ( job loss, public media shaming, loss of business ) regardless on how politely it is stated.

In a sense, it is starting remind of me stories my parents told me of the old country during communist regime. Political jokes could and were reported by your friends. This could result in various social sanctions including 'wolf ticket' ( effectively blacklist of dissidents ) preventing you from getting a job, car, you name it.

Amusingly, today you find out, who your friends are by being unflinchigly open.
If you're worried about those types of things you shouldn't be using proprietary operating systems, there's a million ways Apple can backdoor your system without you knowing
There are actually plenty of languages that can lead you down this path, including some designed for the purpose.

For real world learning, C is still what you want. It is one of the easier roads through.

However, here's a just few languages that can let you build a kernel up quickly:

+ Forth. It is well suited for the purpose. A tiny bit of assembly, and then just a bunch of definitions and you've built it all from the ground up. But if you think C is too complex for learning, then the idea of moving to a stack-based language could get in the way.

+ Lisp. The Symbolic Lisp machines might be in the past, but the various versions of Lisp are still flexible enough to let you build an OS, and lots of CS students do.

+ Lua. It is only slightly higher level than C, but with fun things like coroutines, hash tables, dynamic typing and GC. Due to its C99 nature and the desire to keep the language constrained, it runs on bare metal great. You don't have to modify Lua to run it baremetal on a Pi. [0]

That is my point, I know how those numbers land. Such that with those numbers, I agree I should trust it. But this paper seems to paint that as not the percentage. With the seemingly crazy story regarding blood type recently, it definitely has me doubting some.

(For a little more context, I and my entire family of six had fevers near the start of this. With me having a very hard time breathing. Was worse than when I had walking pneumonia. Like I said, I ticked the ILI number, they even sent me for an x-ray. Was before we acknowledge community spread here in Seattle, though.)

Don't get me wrong. Not doing anything "risky". Nor do I want to hurry a reopening. The narrative around all of this is hard to swallow, though.
I'm not super clear what this blog is or the overall context, but after reading the post my takeaways is "this guy did an interview with a reporter, on the record, and then asked not to be quoted by name". Is that accurate?

Being quoted by name is not being doxxed. If you don't want to be named in a newspaper article, do not talk to a newspaper reporter.

My main takeaway here is that this is yet another example of people co-opting the language of woke victimhood to avoid accountability.
For those of us out of the loop could someone take 2 minutes to give us some context please? Thanks
I find the best designs are simple ones that reflect the underlaying concepts. Most designs that lead to complexity are based on the wrong abstraction. I have found this to be true nearly in all cases.

Of course the issue you run into is that the problem software is trying to solve changes over time and then the original abstraction which were correct become wrong over time. Then you should advocate refactoring to the new abstractions if possible.
What I got from it is that any sort of publicity at this scale is potentially harmful to his position as a psychiatrist and person. Not necessarily that the things he said were particularly right, wrong, or controversial. And even though early warnings about COVID may not seem particularly controversial, the internet attracts and fosters all sorts of conspiracy theorists and fantastic ideas. Scott also mentions himself that he's had death threats, which adds to the risk of having his name associated with the blog.
Financial investments are inherently risky. It amazes me how people are such huge proponents of upside gains, but find unpalatable the idea of downside risk.

> You aren’t allowed to go fishing around the system anymore.

Sure you can. You'll now `stat` around for everything you did before, but now you'll have to `dlopen` the system libraries instead. Surely no privacy win?
Because it costs even more time and money to add another hardware stack to all of the testing that needs to be done for the new OS. Apple apparently thinks that the population of people who want to install a brand-new OS on an eight-year-old Mac Mini is not worth that time and money. They're probably right.
