The interesting thing here is that the absolute biggest disadvantage is the MacOS/iOS development. Apple's walled garden seems to be working as intended ;).

I went the same route from Mac to Lenovo Thinkpads. I have not looked back since. Did the Linux swap due to Mac OS X memory pressure issues with virtualization. Basically Mac OS X got a ported feature from iOS where they froze background application memory so that apps would be quick to restart and resume but that did not play nice with virtualization where you want all the memory you can get.

Anyhow since most development is nowadays done for Linux server running Linux on the desktop makes sense. Docker works better on Linux with port mapping.

For the battery time mentioned in the article one can swap batterys on Lenovo and there is a 9 cell battery which should get better run time hours.
On a related topic. I was trying to search videos from the Wisconsin shooting of the 17 year old who shot and killed two people and injured one. Every video I clicked on was already taken down due to offensive content. I found it strange given that Youtube is full of videos of shooting incidents.

Now, I do understand the families of the victims may want the videos taking down. But it seems to me the mob of people flagging these videos have a different motive. This shows that trusting the community to flag offensive content has its flaws. (although at Youtube's scale there's no alternative really)
Yes, if the only defense of your content is that it isn't literally illegal to produce and distribute, maybe choose something better to do with your time.
It's important to realize that Xinjiang is a colony of China. China took over Xinjiang in the past few hundred years; historically, kingdoms there were independent. Sometimes they had tributary relationships, other times they were allies of the Chinese kingdoms. Colonialism takes many forms and Europeans don't have a monopoly on it. The Uyghurs have rebelled many times and even formed short-lived states, the last before the Mao era. What was a territorial annexation has taken on ideological (the Chinese state demanded ideological adherence in art and politics just like in the rest of China ), economic (Xinjiang is rich in mineral resources), and settler-colonial (Han Chinese have been moving into Xinjiang in large numbers) aspects.
Most powers make the same false assumptions that they "easily won" an insurgency/guerrilla war.

No you didn't win anything, you temporarily held territory, you wasted enormous resources, and were in fact beaten by goat herders in the end.

Without putting the whole country in a concentration camp and re-educating for 20 years and without providing an alternative economic model, a central administration in Afghanistan is irrelevant wether you do it for "a few year" or decades.
I needed a new laptop and while I’d prefer a MBP I don’t want to buy one right now with the ARM cutover on the horizon. Instead I bought a refurb t460 for like $400 and slapped NixOS/i3wm on it. It’ll hold me over until the ARM release and if I really need anything Mac specific I still have my old MBP.
Prior to the pandemic, most jobs were not remote. Now something like 40% of them are. Our schools were set up originally to train obedient factory workers, and to serve as daycare centers that allow mom and dad to go to the office. I can't help but to think that schools will have to change to reflect the new permanent situation.

What will happen to teachers? I suspect that over time, there will be fewer of them, but people will learn more than ever. In 1900, 12 million Americans were farmers. 120 years later, we have four times as many people to feed, and only 2 million of us are farmers.
does that mean Blind is next?
TikTok CEO quits as company reportedly plans sale to Microsoft, Walmart
No.

Whatever solution you pick for iOS dev: Flutter, React Native, Xamarin etc etc, in the end we will always meet the same thing: iOS SDK. And iOS SDK only runs on Mac, unlike Android.

Unless Apple decide to port their SDK to Windows/Linux (which I believe will not happen), you can't practically avoid Mac.
A better fix is barring by law tech companies that control important platforms from using those platforms to censor legal speech. It simply should be illegal for Google to down an app because it contains legal words that blaspheme against Google's California values.
For what it’s worth, following the thread in the Wikipedia article it looks like the major facts trace back to Chinese state media.
The worst thing of censorship is they always can find some new targets after they have censored their old targets. They do it one by one Until you find out every word you said is illegal, it is too late.
The is what I believe is the goal of placing restrictions on people based on “mental health”. It’s so open ended and not easily verifiable that it becomes a sliding scale.
I don't believe this statement is accurate, there are a lot of elderly who aren't in great shape in good care also.

I think what is accurate is that there is a lot of shame in Japanese society and there are many accounts of even healthcare workers being ostracized and bullied for catching it.

What I believe is more accurate is that it's swept under the rug in Japan more than other countries.

If someone elderly in a family dies from Covid19, it's easier to not bother requesting a test so you don't have to deal with the shame of having it in your family if it comes back positive.

I'm not that against the lenient testing strategy, just don't think it's an accurate depiction of what's going on in Japan.I do think it's having a negative impact economically because people never truly feel safe as they don't understand the risks well enough to enjoy themselves.

> I think my argument is that WYSIWYG needs to die.

WYSIWYG is a big part of what made the GUI revolution so successful. The computer for the rest of us, wouldn't be for the rest of us, if we had to worry about Git and how to render our file format.

I've had the same frustrations dealing with publishers and Word templates as you had. Your mistake is that you are conflating our experience writing a technical book with the vast majority of users who are not writing technical literature. A writing system for the masses should be as easy to use (for the basics at least) as paper and pencil. Git and learning even a simple markup language does not meet this standard.
They didn't remove Podcast Addict, it's right here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bambuna.po...

That was a mistake, presumably. It's likely this is too. The deep desire on the part of posters here to assume malice and scream CENSORSHIP is really off-putting.

I actually don't know anything about fediverse, but if it's like other pseudoanonymous obscure communications media it's probably filled with awful stuff. It's not that hard to imagine a naive reviewer who doesn't understand the architecture to be confused if they get a report showing screenshots of the app with the content available in it.
It might be Apple forcing them to do so. For example you can't publish app with porn content. Even if your app is some kind of forum, you're obliged at least to filter out explicit content in the app.

Browser seems to be an exception.
Yeah, I just think it would be nice to have a "non-custom equipment" license. Allow me to buy the BaoFeng equipment with a license based on radio etiquette, laws, etc.

And avoid all the test questions about amplifiers, and antenna configuration, etc.

The other month in Canada we had a huge outage of 3-4 cellular service providers and home internet issues due to a MPLS failure. Being work from home due to COVID I had no idea how to determine if this was a local level event, or a larger event. I turned on my trusty AM/FM/LW/SW radio. However in the fashion of today's radio landscape they're all multicast of national programming etc. Nothing about a huge outage.

Had I a license there are a few HAM guys I know 60 minutes down the road and it would have been a decent check to see the severity of the outage.

There’s a difference between “has some of it” and “is full of it”.

As SSC says, even if witch hunts are genuinely bad, if you found a town with the founding principle of having no witch hunts, you will end up with a town with 5 genuine civil libertarians, and 100 witches.

I think an interesting strategy would be to found a site with an initially high level of censorship, but a public commitment to reduce the amount/degree of censorship on the site over time with a particular timetable.
What happens if you reassign a variable below? Like:

a = 1
println(a)
a = 2

Does it show 1 or 2?

Edit: tested it, it throws an error "Multiple definitions for a: Combine all definitions into a single reactive cell using a `begin ... end` block."

Not sure I like that way of working.

Run hackintosh on thinkpads. There are a lot of already completed configs available for both the clover and opencore setups.
I propose for Google to apply their guidelines consistently and fairly. Ideally on their own. If it takes a shitstorm every time, that's very annoying (but helped last time they tried to play this game with podcast apps) but at least fixes the problem for a bit. Maybe there is grounds for a lawsuit if they apply it massively unfairly, I'm not a legal expert on that.

Looking back at our last discussion, you have a serious problem of equating everything with a call for government intervention.

Well, because I don't want to join communities where hate speech is common, much less the prevailing type of content. I don't think that speech should be outlawed, but that doesn't mean I want to be where it is. So if reddit helps remove hate speech and it funnels to these alternatives, that only makes reddit more attractive to me.

Plainly: I want reddit to censor hate speech on their site, but I don't want hosting companies to disallow those alernative sites to exist, nor do I want Chrome to disallow any user to visit any of those alternatives in their browser.
DMV information isn't opt-in. It's a forced by-product of licensing requirements to legally drive on the road. Most people wouldn't want to give any information if given a choice but the laws of states for registering and driving requires it.

That information is not the property of any DMV.

> an interceptor that creates and cleans up the transaction for you.

I'm not sure about the word "interceptor" here because in Go and every other language I know which does this it is merely a wrapper, but Go does this. From some vantage, the problem only arises because Go does this - if it instead forced you to create a transaction the resource allocation, and so possibility of exhaustion, would be a lot more obvious.

We toss out electronics these days because it’s easier to replace than repair.

Unfortunately our bodies follow this same principle.

From nature stand point. Have kids in late teens, by mid 30s the cycle is already starting again. Repairing body beyond 30s is a luxury.

Moved to “nicer” areas where 35-45 is first kid for woman. The man is at least 10 years older.

There are few if any platforms on the open web free of censorship, they just draw their line in the sand in a different arbitrary place than others.

Banning illegal content, spam, harassment, etc (which even the most hardcore "censorship free" platforms do) are also forms of censorship.
They typically get addicted to advertising dollars and clean their sites up

Censorship not related to government always strikes me as just complaining. Private entities, whether they be individuals or businesses should be free to determine what is an acceptable uses of their services, and what is not.

Do you allow any form of speech in your house or is your house a platform that censors speech?

More Space, Please: Home Sales Booming Despite Pandemic, Recession
Any serious infection causes long-lasting damage. Even with bog-standard viral pneumonia, many people take 3-6 months to fully recover, and some people never feel as healthy as they did before. It's good to acknowledge that the harm of the disease goes beyond just people who die to it, but the media doesn't pay a huge amount of attention because it's not covid-specific.
This is how the status quo is maintained.

Advent of Code really might be a great use-case for this extension!

Anyways, I think the table, the plain text and the planned text-diff visualizer might be handy for day-to-day debugging, as they fix some issues with the watch window in VS Code (mainly displaying multiline-strings and lists of homogeneous objects or just being able to update the watched expression with a shortcut).
The article isn't about either of those things. It's about the original ideas of cyberpunk (which were rooted in the 80s) being turned into cliches and repeated ad infinitum since and whether a new 2020-era genre is needed.
No, there's no difference between "has some of it" and "is full of it". Where could the line possibly be drawn between those two? Why should your values in particular control other people's speech? If you don't want to participate on a discussion because it's full of something you dislike, that's your call. But big tech companies have no business shutting down other people's legal conversations.
The thing is, there is a definite anti China sentiment within the present US government and many western media sources, in the sense that they seem to have a definite desire to villify China in recent times.

So the claims presented by them are suspect in intent, since it seems so evidently to suit their own world view.

While Chinese propaganda is suspect as is any propaganda, much western reporting is also politically informed and therefore suspect.

Most reports on this topic going around are not from people on ground, whereas western media including Reuters and BBC surely have people on ground in China, what have we heard from them in actuality?

Recently BBC had people sent to such a camp and even filmed it. Surely there is some political indoctrination going on, but nothing like the 'Concentration Camps' as is being claimed in this article.

> - Can't do Linux development

How do you figure that? Docker gives you a native linux runtime, and you can use x11 if you're developing GTK/QT clients.
At least it'll give you some info about whether you're likely to make it when a really bad pandemic comes along. I thought I was being fairly careful - extremely diligent with masks, surgical-prep-style handwashing, disinfecting my phone, working entirely from home, leaving my apartment about once every two days for groceries or to go to a climbing gym (limited pre-registration required, masks mandatory, socially distanced, hand sanitizer everywhere, obviously this one was still a bit of a risk). So I guess we'll see whether or not my precautions were sufficient.
> laptop can’t run the internals at full power when not connected to AC

How is this worse than a MBP that can’t “run the internals at full power” when it doesn’t take breaks to cool off (except maybe outside in winter?)? (Edit: my currently adjacent sibling comment claims that MBPs don’t run at full power off AC either, so their internal utilization seems strictly worse. Reminds me of how Apple arranged with Intel to buy a weaker (and presumably cooler and cheaper) variant of the Xeons available to anyone else for iMac Pros).

Depending on your definition of ‘the Linux experience’. For me X is half the GNU/Linux/*BSD experience: dwm, sxhkd, keynav, xcape, the Compose key, simple highlight + middle click/Shift+Insert copypasta. (Edit: xteddy, xeyes, xcowsay, buckle, etc. too).

I have a fun story about this.

I had an account on some site and didn't use it for years. When I go back and try to login they demand I reset my password and verify my email. Sure, no problem. Thing is I used a foo+bar@ email and they had a little sanitizing script running that removed it when submitting the form. Rewriting their spaghetti and getting the form to submit successfully was fun. I was very surprised it worked. Guess they weren't sanitizing on the backend.
USB-C and proprietary laptop chargers are double insulated Class II devices. This means that the metal chassis is essentially floating and can charge up if there is some leakage in the charger circuit. I don't see any way how the wiring of the building can influence this behavior.

What it's like as an American abroad with Taxes: Double Taxation
>It always starts like that.

many places have cultures and also law that for decades has worked perfectly fine reigning in the very worst forms of hate speeech (say holocaust denial in my country) while not descending into a sort of activism that starts to get silly.

There's no automatic mechanism that turns sensible rules into insensible ones, and it's also need not be the case with sensible hate speech rules.

With cases like Google's play store the issue seems more concrete. On the one hand it's the overwhelming power and lack of due process that large firms have over software. Decentralise this and put authority into the hands of people who know their networks and the situtation will imporove. Secondly it also seems to be a very activist employee base at companies like Google that's gone somewhat overboard. Again, an accountability issue. If these things were decided publicly, it would moderate to reasonable levels.
At what point do we put these devices down? At what point are they causing more harm than good?

I admit, it is confusing even for a Japanese speaker which one to me which is his family name or if I already need to flip the order.

The context is that too many people accidentally address him by his first name which is considered a bit embarrassing for polite society.
MacPorts is a better long-term experience than Homebrew.

It takes the BSD ports approach, where all packages are maintained together in a centralized repository. The Homebrew approach is closer to a bunch of PPA's and other independently maintained stuff of questionable integration status.

If all you've tried is Homebrew, then I'm not surprised at the reaction.

I ordered an $80 art book from Amazon. Had to return the first two they sent me, they were so damaged. No protection at all, just loose in a box. Amazon used to mount books to a piece of cardboard and shrinkwrap it together. They must have calculated that most people don’t care and it’s cheaper to damage books with a certain probability. As a book-lover I’m offended by all the waste.
Mac trackpads are unmatched (yay/boo Fingerworks!) but you could always use an external mac touchpad. In any case, shortcut keys are abundant in Linux desktops, and a tiling wm (I like the default one in Pop OS) really changes the game.
I've never thought of MacBooks for the apps specifically, but I checked OmniGraffle which looks like a great replacement for Visio. Visio is one of the few things that keeps me occasionally attached to PCs.

and why does that matter? They later switched to ActivityPub/Mastodon for a bit. They still run a Mastodon fork, but defederated back in May.

Gab was also banned explicitly by URL by any app makers and in many ActivityPub libraries (you can find checks where it hashes the URL and compares it to known Gab URLs).

> a purpose-built platform for conspiracies and hate speech

We're in a bizarre world right now where you can label any opinion you don't agree with as hate speech, dehumanize police and call every conservative a literal Nazi and that's all okay now for some reason.

At some point we have to remember that historically, a lot of people who thought they were right, about slavery, homosexuality, war, abortion, polygamy, and other controversial topics, eventually came down on the wrong side of history.

The attack on speech and ideas has never been more profound. If you don't like an idea, you don't have to listen, but people are going to continue to go to fringes whenever their voices are silences. That will create more extreme platforms and more extremism, not less.
Is it really that good for consumers? I don't buy a lot of things at Walmart because I find that it's generally low-quality. Since they've run many smaller businesses out of the local area, it's now more expensive and time consuming for me to find higher quality items.

Also, even if Walmart is selling cheaper good than their competitors, what's stopping them from raising prices once they've decimated the competition? More options is almost always better for the consumers.
