It was featured in some article on HN before that we used to have "safe areas". Areas where you could grab a window and drag it around, without having to carefully place the cursor or accidentally pressing a button. This is not new in Big Sur, but has been happening for some releases now. Take the Notes.app, it doesn't even have a title bar, just a tool bar. When resizing it to (what I think is) a comfortable size, the toolbar buttons are side-to-side leaving just a few pixels of margin by which you can drag the window. I'm not a fan of this trend, but it seems the way forward for all macOS apps. With this release it is brought to most first-party apps.
If it ran Linux perfectly, it could only do so if the manufacturer maintained its own Linux distribution. Laptop hardware and power management is just too complicated these days for anything else to work well.
Even less esoteric: your libc likely has at least a half dozen vectorized functions for the mem* and str* functions.
Which patent is that? Genuinely curious.
For me, often the problem is just one of perception. When something seems impossible or out of reach, I think about how my own accomplishments can seem out of reach to some industry outsiders.

For example, installing a router and setting up a wifi network can seem like an unfathomably complex topic to an older person who's lived their life mostly via paperwork. But it's not that hard! And that person could almost definitely sort out how to do it with a little time and effort. You probably have examples of this in your own life.

So then, just flip it. That challenging thing that seems out of reach? Just assume you're the older person setting up wifi - assuming the thing is much more complicated and difficult than it actually is. It only seems so daunting because you have no exposure to that specific topic. If you just rip the bandaid and start learning about it a bit, you'll almost always discover that the individual steps to get started (for almost anything) are completely within reach.

For me, that thought process always gives me enough confidence to try. If I find out the thing is actually too hard, so be it. But usually, it isn't. Usually it's surprisingly easy!
Professionally relevant information - insider sources, other information that is important for you for whatever reason - from original sources. If there aren't any original sources (e.g. politics, history etc) - cross reference multiple interpretations that present story from different angles, e.g. Fox vs CNN, Guardian vs BBC, Washington Post vs Al Jazeera vs Russia Today. Of course for some stories there are sources that are better suited than others due to their focus (e.g. throw in Democracy Now for anything about grassroots movements, various scientific/medical news are discussed most in-depth by specialized podcasts, etc).

And then there is information that isn't important (it doesn't affect you and you can't act on it) and you're just seeking it out of habit (addiction really).
Yeah that's how ARM markets it, but if you read more carefully it's just a tweaked Cortex A78. A Cortex A78 is an impressive core design, but it's ultimately still a low power design. I'm saying the time is ripe for ARM to make a full fledged desktop focused design from the ground up, and if not ARM then someone else.
Unless they make a serious commitment, open large offices (a la HQ2) and ensure proper employee career progression, workers overseas will still suffer from the "satellite office effect".

Managers will deny it but from my experience and anectdata career opportunities are simply much better in the main offices. Colleagues in sister teams in the US work on more interesting projects, and get promoted 2-3 times more. Unless I'm convinced I'll have the same career opportunities here I could in the US, staying won't be a long term option.
Are we to believe that the UI is designed for people with disabilities or just hoping that this one aspect will make things slightly easier as an unintentional byproduct in between the time they roll it out and some future time when they change it?

Although 930k individuals in the US suffer from Parkinsons given the economic cost including medication, lose of income etc which averages about 24k per individual it seems likely that few of them are enjoying mac laptops even compared to the general population that is 10 times more likely to run windows.

But, presumably you're not going "hey have you seen my supercomputer" and showing people a picture of your blinken-light toy on social media?

The relationship people assume to have with celebrities, actors in particular, seems different to that they share with mementos/trinkets. At no point does the person think the Cray is the real thing, but people do seem to think - at some level - they know an actor because they've seen the character the actor helps to construct on screen.

Everyone (adult) knows a person paid for the video with the Happy Birthday greeting, but still at some level there's social credit, which suggests we choose to accept the lie.

I like your analogy, and will reflect on it some more (thanks!), but at the moment it still feels like there are fundamental differences between these situations (and that's where the interest lies).

Static with some react sounds like a nightmare. One of the primary reasons why many moved to JS frameworks was to have a better separation of concerns and a single place where GUI logic resides.

Since you're using the 'abusive relationship' analogy I'd like to point out there are more actors to this beside Apple and you. Most app developers are honest, but there still are lots of 'bad apples' trying to infect your system.

Would you buy a house without any locks since it's convenient? As long as you have the key it's paranoid not to buy Apple because of some restrictions since any PC also has a lot of these (secure boot, DRM etc).

Probably not. It's a very common mistake to confuse local phenomena (i.e. "weather") with global patterns (i.e. "climate").

My area saw the hottest and driest spring ever recorded last year, but this year we had some rain and temperatures were modest (despite still being above average overall).
This is what I did, keyboard is fine, I like the short travel. Maxed out CPU and memory and saved nearly 40% while buying brand new old stock. Very happy overall upgrading from a maxed out late 2013 Macbook Pro 15”.

For software development, I know what I can't do and try to go a bit deeper into that space every time, but not too deep.

To be honest, I hate that. It is indeed women who do this more, but not exclusively.

"Hi raxxorrax! How are you? Had a good morning? Want some cookies?" - Completely normal within my circle of friends as an honest question, but I don't like colleagues asking me constantly. You get nothing done if you always start small talk. The people asking you this are mostly not interested in an answer anyway. That is just the reality of it.

And then you do that with people that you might not even like. There is much value in some distance in a business setting. The most abusive work relations are probably prevalent if you get too close to every other employee.
I think that's a very good point. If that reporter takes the story to their editor, what's it going to sound like?

R: So, this article is about a blog and the person that writes it...

E: Ok, cool, why can't I find the blog?

R: Err... it doesn't exist anymore

E: Why not?

R: Because I doxx the author in this article.

If you were an editor, would you publish that? The subject of the story no longer exists, so the story is less interesting, _and_ you come off looking like an asshole.

I think any reasonable editor, would either not publish the story, or not publish the name. Seems like a great move to me.
> tend to stick to what they've studied and know.

Isn't there a serious risk of bias, there, though? For example, if a journalist is specialized in CS and have to write about the ecological impact of technology, you can expect them to be biased in favor of technology, even in good faith.

While what you're suggesting seems common sense and is indeed better than current situation, I think it could be even better if rather than having one journalist writing one piece, every piece was a joint effort by several journalists, some expert on the subject and some not.
Can anyone comment on the claim that making large numbers of Higgs' bosons will explain dark matter?
In the post-Enlightenment post-humanist West there is a tendency like yours to downplay the difference between humans and animals, but I think it misses the point. Intelligence is not the point.

Intelligence was never the categorical differentiator between humans and animals. Firstly, because it is a difference in degree, not a difference in kind. Some have said that "culture" is what makes us different, but I'm not convinced of that either - for me, highly sociable animals that travel in herds always appeared to have a culture of sorts. Again, a difference in degree, not in kind.

I tend to agree with the Russian philosophers that argue that the categorical differentiator between humans and animals is "morality". Animals are fundamentally amoral, i.e. nothing they do is "evil". We do not speak of incest, rape or murder among bonobo chimps, for example, because such judgements cannot apply to their actions (although this behaviour is rampant in nature). Moral judgements cannot apply to animals precisely because they have no transcendental purpose in any of their actions, i.e. everything they do is out instinct and survival purposes. Whereas humans frequently act out of a transcendental purpose, such as fighting for a greater cause such as equality for all, creating and worshipping a conception of God, or practicing philosophy. None of these actions have a survival motive (some are actually detrimental to our individual survival). Neither are these actions necessarily instinctual, as humans are certainly capable or creating new transcendental purposes that didn't exist before - and THAT is what makes us human.

Reading this made me think of two essays I've recently revisited.

1. The Sound of Silence, by Jessica Livingston

Three years ago she argued that the smartest people are silencing themselves because the downside risk of being attacked for (misinterpretations of) their opinions are too high. People are wary of sharing useful information outside of trusted circles, which serves to consolidate power with insiders – those who are already powerful.

2. What You Can't Say, by Paul Graham

Reflection on how to separate truths that will endure from "moral fashions" particular to a time and place in history. Written over 15 years ago and more relevant today.

> What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. Dressing oddly gets you laughed at. Violating moral fashions can get you fired, ostracized, imprisoned, or even killed.

FWIW, the aliens are also there to make land precious, so there is a more meaningful tradeoff between building a tidy, future-proof factory layout, and something that lets you avoid that nest of biters to your east.

Even later in the game, as you build out train lines to expand to the richer ore patches, they push you to develop automatic systems which can resupply your outposts with extra construction robots, repair packs, replacement laser turrets, walls, artillery shells. Without this, your logistics are mostly one-way: everything except, perhaps, electricity, flows from the outpost to the central factory. (You can get away with doing it manually, but as the aliens get larger and more aggressive, particularly with behemoth spitters, it pays to use a train.)

I mostly worry about software that will never receive an update. I'm sure the tools you listed will be ported over to ARM simply because it means vendors can sell them again to the same customer.

I don't think the Pixel 2 can be called "pre-neural".

I have about 70 devices and services at home (pure software services such as a web app, up to WiFi-connected IoT).

I manage everything via dnsmasq on my router, and I use a DNS wildcard to make sure that all unknown IPs map to my server.

This is because the server holds the docker engine on whihc all "software services" are located. I did a few bounces between Traefik and Caddy over the years and finally settled on Caddy.

Caddy is a truly fantastic web server. If you manually forced IPs on your containers there is not problem at all (2 lines per service). If you did not, there is unfortunately no built-in mechanism in Caddy to autodiscover them (such as the one in Traefik). I wrote my own using the new Caddy API (v2).

Was looking for a "grocery list" type of application and this one seems to be the fastest and most user friendly one in all of F-Droid.

Two small improvements I would suggest:

1. A sorting order where checked tasks are moved at the bottom, keeping only the unchecked ones on top. (I could not find this if it's already implemented). Note: I want to see all of them, just have the checked ones moved.

2. The save button on task creation is a bit weird. It occupies the top row, together with the delete button on existing tasks, but the checked button is floating on the right. You might want to unify the look of these 3 buttons.

Otherwise, good work! I'll be using it from now on. Normally I'd use Orgzly for tasks, but grocery lists are a bit different, you want to be able to operate them with one hand while carrying your groceries with another. This app allows that while Orgzly is a pain to work with as it requires multiple actions to mark a task done. I know this from personal experience.
I mean, ok. But, if Lieberman (the 60th vote) was willing to vote for something farther left (hypothetically), why not remove that stuff once you realize it won't get republican votes?
I'm actually a huge supporter of self-improvement as a whole and growth mindsets but I think it can be quite dangerous indeed. Many people use them as a way to avoid facing problems they have or distracting themselves from issues that they can't solve through any amount of learning or working.

It's important to realize that achieving success in your career, learning five languages or building a cool invention aren't free tickets to happiness or fulfillment. At most, they'll make you content for a while and then, like with any happiness source, the joy will diminish and you'll have to do it all again except now you have to try harder as you've already "peaked".

The benefits of self-improvement shouldn't be "self-contained". You're not learning new things just to know them, you should learn them to help people, to make your conversations more interesting, to better understand the things you love. Basically, you should base all your improvement in genuine curiosity and, much as I hate the term, a lust for life. It can't come from feeling unfulfilled.
It's not about intent, it's about giving/expecting every experience a 50/50 chance of going well or poorly. Obviously animals (or even instinct-driven people) are not going to adhere to this "by default".

For example, even if you were robbed 9 straight times on a particular street by a particular "type" of person (whatever that means)...you should not expect the 10th time to go the same. Similarly if a positive experience happens you can't expect the 10th to go the same either.

It's always been very difficult to reconcile with "situational awareness" for me...because the two are apparently mutually exclusive. Perhaps someone smarter than me (AKA everyone reading this) can help here.
+38C to -67C, so about 105C temperature range. It's close to 200°F range in case you're interested.
It's a pity that most of this is about the visual, rather than the functional. The first Mac OS guidelines were as much about form as about function, with the latter being more important.
