Actually, I think this has the potential to increase empathy between pure-business folks and coders. After having a crack and encountering the inevitable bumps in the road, more people will realize writing software isn't just about knowing some funny syntax.
The disconnect goes away if we see person opinions as something people are rather than something which people say.

This happens also to be a common thread in the disagreement between left and right. When something becomes a voluntary chosen action it can be controlled, limited and stopped by the government. When something is a personal trait it should be protected and given status as a right.

To take the example of a street protestor. Should companies be allowed to fire political activists? When we see it as a personal trait a lot of people find the answer as no. Should companies be allowed to fire people who choosed to say bad things? Many say yes. The issue becomes how people frame the question and what values get attached to it.
Zenly already does something similar with location permissions, and their app isn't even side-loaded.

They'll simply annoy you to hell and not let you use the app until you've granted permanent location permissions.

In the Canadian Charter of Rights (which is like the Canadian equivalent to the US Constitution), there is a concept of reasonable limits.

This allows a right to be limited to the extent that it is justified in a free and democratic society.

In practice, this has been used in Canada to prevent a variety of objectionable conduct such as hate speech and obscenity.

There's all kinds of limits on the limits themselves, and well defined tests and criterias for what can qualify as an appropriate limitation which since IANAL goes a little over my head.

I'm bringing it up simply because the concept of having an absolutely applicable in all circumstances free speech right is not a concept used everywhere. So I feel the idea that those who defend free speech should defend it also when it's offensive isn't universal, and in Canada, the charter of rights doesn't make it so. It's an interesting contrast I believe.

Here's a good read on other free democracies that also have certain limitations around freedom of speech: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech#Limitation...
You touch on something I have thought about a lot.... why don’t we launch companies with the intent of winding them down once we have achieved what we set out to? It’s rhetorical as I know the answer is money But I yearn to live in a society where that would be the norm.
Show HN: Terraform module for deploying Docker containers to any Cloud VM
I've been playing around with a few different self-hosted PaaS offerings (Exoframe, Caprover, Dokku et al), but nothing quite hit the mark. I ended up bootstrapping a small VM using cloud-init and found it worked seamlessly across all the major cloud providers with little to no vendor specific code - cloud-init is pretty neat! I ended up creating a Terraform module for deploying Docker containers + Docker Compose files and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
> WhatsApp: My de facto messenger app. Many years ago, it was BlackBerry Messenger. Now Whatsapp. I like this app because it's essentially just a messenger app without useless stuffs like news, job search etc (yes Line, I'm looking at you)

Well, it does have some not-so-essential features like "whatsapp status". It should have just been a messenger instead of switching over to the social media hype.

It'd be myopic if we ignore all the persuasive techniques they employ.
It depends on your use, you say you develop and so you likely have a number of tools that you rely on for your day to day productivity. While the new Arm processor may well be faster then the Intel it is going to cause incompatibilities for a while.

Going the Intel route now will give you a stable machine which still has a lot of performance (depending on what exactly you develop, web great, Linux kernel not so much ;o)

Getting the first Arm will lead to you spending time dealing with first adopter bugs and learning new tooling due to your existing stack having incompatibilities.
I think ironically a bill like this passing would lead to more decentralization of services -- making their goals of monitoring information even harder.

> ... these events are happening at a time when the news industry is also being challenged financially

Yeah, and what's challenging to the "news industry" is the monopolistic situation on the web and the utter lack of action on the part of US antitrust authorities and their allies. I find it very worrying that Der Spiegel, once the most frequently visited ad-supported news sites in the "old" German web, sees no other hope than partnering with Google. Sorry if I'm being too harsh, but the problem can't be solved by Google, when the problem is Google. Der Spiegel once more showing they completely outsold their journalistic punch and demonstrating basic media incompetence (which is the very last thing you want a credible publisher to do).
OpenRCT2 is pretty mature, but I doubt asset packs for that will be wholesale remade either.

definitions:
equality of opportunity = x
equality of outcome = y

equation:
y = f(x, [z1, z2, ...])
where z1, z2, ... are possibly other factors determining y

you seem to say that
y = f(x)

You need to prove that z1, z2, ... don't exist
and that y = f(x) has a causal relationship

Both can be proved or disproved through numbers.
In case the numbers don't exist, one suspends judgement.
Sure you can do that but now you have a much harder problem: Invent a novel energy source.

I think when people trade on the negative connotations of "fascism" and then turn around and go "oh i mean this..." they're being duplicitous and alarmist.

The antifa lot essentially define fascism as an eternal set of human psychological impulses: nostalgia, in-group preference, desire for cultural homogenity, etc.

These did not lead to Fascism, the "obviously bad thing" which they are being alarmist about. Fascism was a direct result of, and contingent upon, the mass death and poverty caused by WWI.

Words do have meaning, and it is precisely the negative connotations of fascism that are being appealed to in the accusation. Absent these connotations, almost everyone is fascist some of the time.
How do you manage reading every code of conduct and honoring it?

The trouble I'm having with social changes, expectations, per person pronouns, and other things is that managing all of these interactions can be a crushing amount of cognitive load.

Now that I think about it, it's the same challenge I have with microservices. Formerly simple interactions are now hellza complicated. I'm not fighting the trend. I'm just fatigued.

> A Plagiarism Scandal Is Unfolding In The Crossword World

Huh! I recently "discovered" this myself because sometimes when I was stuck on crosswords I would google the clue and the answers would show all the different places and puzzles the clue has appeared. I just assumed that all crosswords everywhere sourced the same question databank and everyone stole clues and reprinted them everywhere else based on how many times they've appeared in various places. Didn't realize crosswords were even supposed to be originally written!

Fwiw, have been more into NYTimes Tiles games lately :) Interesting link- thnx!

With the exception of spam, that's a feature. If something offends you, you should consider why.

Upvotes are useful in reducing spam, as without them, I'd have to repeat a sentiment to show agreement. In my experience (anecdata warning!) that nicely leads to both the best post for an argument, and the best rebuttal, sharing visibility.

Neither combat the problem of "fake news", because frauds don't have to be well done if the local community agrees with the sentiment.

Not from the air... but I hate the 16”. It’s fan is noisy and always powers up under any load. The thermal throttling is horrible. It gets hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch. The cable has coil whine as does the Mac itself. Touchbar... I’m not a fan and generally never used it. The GPU seems flakey and the wifi hates connecting to 2.4 networks, although that could be a software issue. Battery life is far worse than expected.

The screen is wonderful and the new keyboard better than the old one. Touchpad is still good.
"Should I wait for and buy an arm64 Mac in 2020?"

If you're developing for Mac, and macOS 11.0 will run on your 2015 Mac, then you should wait and buy an arm64 Mac in 2020. You'll need both your 2015 x86_64 and your 2020 arm64 for release testing.

If you're developing for Mac, but macOS 11.0 will not run on your 2015 Mac, then you need to purchase both an x86_64 Mac and an arm64 Mac in 2020.

If you're not developing for Mac, but you would like to help contribute to the Mac ecosystem by improving macOS/arm64 support for things, then you should wait and buy an arm64 Mac in 2020. You will be at the bleeding edge of Homebrew and CocoaPods and etc. and you will be required to make repairs to things that assume x86_64 or assume "stat DYLIB" or etc. You will be forced to use your old x86_64 device to get your actual task done sometimes, even though you'd like to use your new device. You will find bugs and issues with third-party toolkits that you depend on to get your job done. You will be expected to not only report issues but also to participate in fixing them.

If none of the above apply, do not buy an arm64 Mac in 2020. Either now or later, buy either an x86_64 Mac or an x86_64 Windows. The Mac will be supported for several years. The Windows will be supported for however long PCs are supported.

(Footnote: "in 2020" really should be translated to "within 3-6 months of whenever arm64 Macs are first sold to the public", not including the devkits.)
Which translation was it that you enjoyed?

Well if I was an expert in it, I would probably be able to. It's the mark of understanding something well that you can explain it easily.
That machine you reference does seem to be the first machine that can both write and read to its input medium, the punch card, and from there, I suppose, it is history.

Machines that could both read and punch cards in a programmable way were fairly rare. Keypunches could make a copy of a card, and even copy only selected fields, but that was about it. IBM built devices that could read a card, multiply, and punch the result in the same card. (Also see the McClure Multiplying Punch, a mechanical monstrosity from Powers-Samas in England. This could not only multiply, it could so in pounds, shillings, and pence.)

As I've pointed out before, the early history of computing was a long, hard slog trying to make a storage device. Mechanical arithmetic was old; Pascal built a mechanical adder in 1645 (!) and Leibniz built a mechanical multiplier in 1694. IBM had an electronic multiplier in R&D before WWII. But the first computing machine with significant memory (a delay line) was built around 1947. It was clear by the late 1930s that cheap, fast memory would make computing a lot easier, but cheap DRAM was many decades away.
You do know that iCloud isn’t owned or operated by Apple in China? Much like Microsoft/Office 365, it’s owned and operated by a state owned business. This is true of a lot of large cloud services that run in China.

There's a link to Soviet & Russian movies at the bottom.

Having seen a lot of them, I can recommend this, being my favorite movie of all time:

https://sovietmoviesonline.com/melodrama/252-zhenya-zhenechk...

It's about a dreamer misfit during wartime and his relationship with the world and a romantic interest in particular. This movie in many ways showcases the best qualities in people, and highlights the random nature of the world. The way the main character and others deal with what comes their way is so deeply human and sincere, I consider this movie a timeless masterpiece for anyone who identifies with the main character.

One more movie that I think a larger audience may appreciate, is the most famous movie to have been made in Russia (not USSR) called 'Brat' (Brother).

https://sovietmoviesonline.com/melodrama/68-brat.html

Having talked about it with many people, people see and appreciate different aspects of it but one comment I've heard over and over again, is that it speaks deeply to the way Russian people felt, during those difficult and chaotic years (1990s).

> However it can prevent people with "different views" from evangelizing effectively.

I really don't think it does, it just drives them to spaces where you don't personally see them and these spaces typically reinforce and strengthen their beliefs because they go unchallenged there. It also makes it easier to suck in others because those beliefs aren't being discovered in an open forum where they can be challenged. There's also a lot of cross pollination, the 5g nutters for instance have been driven from (or never part of) mainstream circles, so now their discussing things in their own spaces with other craziness thrown in, it will get mixed in with other craziness like being a jewish conspiracy to take over the world or some rubbish.

The internet gave us a brief period where every groups craziness was open for everyone else to see, now we're reverting to make things were like before the internet.

On a more seriously note, I dont see it has anything to do with the QA. Intel were still quick to response and fix whatever problem they discovered.

But they are now 4 years behind their own schedule and still charging for the same price. 4 years is a very long time in tech industry. And if there are any company that had pricing power against Apple, it was Intel ( and may be Qualcomm. ) And Apple dont like that.

> idea of free speech would protect leadership in the newsroom from subordinates

If protecting the management from the workers is your goal, typically you invoke the right of the owners to dictate how work is organised, I'm not sure how you make that into a "free speech" issue.

As the work of the editor is explicitly to direct and reshape the speech of the employees under them, why would "free speech" protect the ones doing the censoring?
Most people I interact with in the US actually use SMS or iMessage, that's why I have hold this view. It might be a bit dated though.
Perhaps conservatives will find compelling a comparison to the second amendment. When crypto was outlawed, only outlaws will have crypto.

The letter I sent to my senators is as follows:

I care deeply about the safety and security of my fellow Americans. I understand the challenges that strong encryption poses for law enforcement. I don’t want the terrorists and pederasts to win.

Yet, I strongly oppose Senate bill 4051, LAEDA. Consider giving a copy of your house keys the police just in case they need to come in without you knowing. Boy, I hope no one ever decides to steal all those keys at once. I hope no one guarding the keys ever develops an opioid addiction and decides to sell just a few keys. I hope China and Russia don’t get curious about what you are discussing with your colleagues and decide it would just be easiest to raid the key pantry.

Meanwhile, the real bad guys will just continue using existing, strong crypto. When crypto is outlawed, only outlaws will have crypto. As a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, you understand that it is every person’s right to defend themselves against the evil forces in the world as well as protect against a potentially tyrannical government. Just because some criminals use guns for evil doesn’t mean we should curtail the rights of the majority who uses them for lawful defense.

Please don’t be fooled that LAED or EARNIT leave strong crypto intact until a warrant is issued. No. These acts force everyone, law abiding or not, to install a trigger lock the government can switch on remotely. Do we really trust the next administration not abuse that right? Do we really trust big business that much?

Personally, I prefer to stand my ground. I have done nothing wrong. I will not hand over my rights to defend myself.
If your keep your next Macbook also for 5 years, I don't see a significant change in the ecosystem in this time due to the amount of existing Intel macs.

I'm guessing you're not a Mac-only developer if you're contemplating switching to Linux, so deploying to ARM is not enough of a concern that would necessitate an ARM Mac at launch.

The resale value after 5 years may be less than your current one due to people being less interested in Intel macs by then.
