I fundamentally disagree that I'm conflicting with prevailing thought (at least of medical experts), both because I don't accept that it's prevailing thought, but also because I'm just being proactively and constructively sceptical.

If someone proclaims to know the long term effects of a recent novel virus, that's an interesting claim. then they compare the outcomes to other viruses (or declare its fundamentally different), that's also interesting.

I've seen news articles about specific cases, and alarmist tabloid-esque case studies, but as someone who actually reads medical studies, I don't let media or hand-picked cases set my opinion, because in a pandemic with countless millions infected, and with a disease that disproportionately affects co morbid patients, of course one will find individual reports of bad cases and complications. But the information I asked for is presumably the minimum required for your claim to be justified. And if it is so "prevailing", it would be widespread and easily findable, whereas I have yet to see a single source that has them.

I’ve been slowly moving away from Google for a few years. There are no Google apps on my phone. I use Chrome only when signing into Google accounts like gmail or docs and I only do that rarely. I’ve moved most of my workflow elsewhere.

Gmail is the hardest for me to replace. Everything else was not difficult at all.
I managed to switch from Chrome to Firefox at least. But looking at this website, there's not really a whole host of apps and services that I want to switch over.

For example switching Google Drive, the top suggestions are Nextcloud and Dropbox. I tried Nextcloud and it was horrible. Stopped after a few months of sync issues and slowness. And Dropbox is like six times the cost for the basic tier of service.
> But to organize memory you need some idea of how much you are using

When I talk about organizing the data structure I'm talking about how the data is layed out in the memory map and how locality is affected.

What I'm saying is not that I think all uses are covered by memory mapping, just that data structure layout combined with memory mapping can probably take care of lots of the majority of scenarios.

I did not know that organizing memory layout was difficult in Rust since it is very straight forward in C++.
You'll have to run ARM linux on the Mac. x86 Linux and Windows cannot be virtualized with Apple's Rosetta 2: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/abou...
Ouch.. I guess I was lucky.
I moved my many domains and many of my clients' domains and mail hosting to Zoho. I looked at Fastmail at the time, but there was one showstopper which I forget (and should revisit). That said, I have found Zoho to be very reliable and reasonably responsive to support issues. And their pricing is very reasonable, imo.

For data, I use Tresorit. They have a great, if premium priced, alternative to gdrive, onedrive, etc. In my experience, Tresorit is more reliable in terms of successfully tracking and syncing terabytes of data (and many files). Plus their encryption story is believable, and storage is their primary job. They're not going to kick a client out without some conversation at least. I tried Nextcloud, but like OneDrive, it ultimately would develop sync issues with large volume and large numbers of files.

I switched to Firefox a couple of years ago and found it mostly better than Chrome, especially regarding the Multi-Account Containers and the Facebook Jail.

For chat, I used Wire for a long time until they changed their focus to corporate only and their home to the US. Now I'm back on Signal. It's not awesome, but it works fine.
Brave by default collects telemetry data. It is anonymized but any security researcher will tell you that metadata of this nature over time can be more revealing that is claimed. It's right their in their FAQ.

Brave's primary customers are advertisers. While this is not evidence in itself, it is certainly something to be wary of.
Not my experience a few weeks ago when I last tried. It prompts you to install a Google Translate extension that basically just sends the URL to Google's web translate service rather than translate 'in place' like Chrome does.
Europe controls wages by keeping the supply of housing high and the price of housing low. Most American cities have an acute shortage of housing and this raises wages. It has nothing to do with unions and their powers.
Dial in for voice or use just using T-Mobile 4G was my fallback on bad days. Worked great until I hit my data cap...
Most of the people in that list were likely not Tamilian - Shankara was likely Malayali, Kumarila & Dharmakirti are just as likely to have been from Assam, and Madhva was Tuluva.

What about the Bhagavatapurana is Tamil?
Yes - there are people who've figured out their own boot processes, but everyone really uses the default Broadcom one.
> too homophobic to be on Mozilla's board

I do enjoy the irony that Mozilla seems to have gone downhill ever since he left / got kicked out. The people replacing him, IIRC, aren't as knowledgeable or expert as he was. But then, I am somewhat a fan of pure meritocracy.
Only solution I don't have an alternative for is YouTube. Too many of my favorite content creators are only on YouTube. But I don't use Google search, gmail, photos, maps, or a ton of other things. It's just YouTube that I use it for.
Having tried both worlds. If a company offers me a job and says they develop in a monorepo I am not going to tell them to f*ck off. I would just ask for twice the salary I would agree to work for in a multirepo company.
Did they reject you or only some facts and something you cared for?
Let the idiots self-destruct. Navigating finance is fairly simple. The people who came out of the 2008 housing crash untouched were the ones who had the basic common sense to say "If I don't understand this paperwork, I'm not going to sign it."

All this regulation does is make the middleman necessary, and that is all a middleman's job is anyway.
Yeah. I’m a long time Mac user. Like 17 years, I’m keen on it because UNIX and pretty.

I was looking at Arch + KDE plasma and it’s really tempting.

I returned a 16inch MBP recently as it kept crashing on shutdown. macOS on intel is a mess and so is the T2. And I’m a fanboy.

I’ve made a deal with myself. If these new Apple Si machines are blow away I’ll try again. Else I’m buying a Lenovo Legion and moving to Arch.

Not sure what to do for a phone but probably stay with iOS.
They likely will. The dev kit for arm mac is mac mini.

The 7 is already projected to run at peak frequencies in the existing plan; signal upgrades help a bit but not a lot at a terminal station. The rest of the 7 isn't capable of running trains much more often.

Also funny about his opinion is that he doesn't seem to understand that states rarely (never?) "definitively announced results on election night." States typically don't certify their results for weeks. Only TV networks call elections on election night based on projections of what the final results might be after states count all their legally cast ballots. Kavanaugh either doesn't understand or has a problem with how elections in this country have always worked.

If you shoot me an email I can tell you very quickly if it's viable, and direct you to specific people at firms who would buy it. I probably don't need a sample if you give an honest description of it.

A thought on this: The reason I've stuck with QuickBooks since 2005 (!!!) is that I know my accountant will prefer it. It's not the cheapest, it isn't the easiest, but it keeps the accountant happy and that's good enough for me.
Neither is it really a "god leap" in the art analogue either, that's what makes it a particularly apt analogy, I think. The implication in the art example is "iterate the above techniques a large number of times to obtain a finished result like this". It seems like a "god leap" because most people don't see the thousands/millions of iterated steps, they see the finished product as a finished product without the intuition of the component parts. That does seem to apply to the Cells project here: most of the same underlying components but yes iterated far enough and long enough it seems like a more insurmountable leap than it should without the right intuition pump.
Sure, but compare the relative power of a CA state representative or the governor to those of Wyoming. CA environmental or privacy regulations for instance often function as de facto national law because the consumer market is so large. Rectifying the imbalance of senators would almost certainly see CA lose that overwhelmingly undemocratic power (~12% of US population - democrats who write the laws are maybe 60% of that subset so 7 million voters).

edit: CA accounts for 15% of the US GDP

If nothing else, it has the effect of avoiding new dependencies on the cloud / Google.

There are a couple instances where I have migrated off the cloud, but other instances where it's too much work (e-mail, etc.)

But I avoid taking new dependencies on the cloud, unless it's doing something tremendously new that I can't do otherwise.

It helps that a lot of the photoshops going around the internet are either super-sloppy or depict things that are obviously ridiculous. I actually can't think of any time somebody tried to alter a photo in a way that would change the meaning in a believable way and distributed it in such a way that they were trying to convince people it was real. Have I missed something?

High code density became less valuable, was the point.
Do you know how many skilled, under-appreciated actors there are in the world? The economics of production create limited head room at the top. You'd be shocked how many talented actors, directors, and writers there are that go undiscovered and under-utilized.
Seeing Zoho, the alternative-universe version of Google where it failed at basically everything, as an alternative listed for a lot of these is hilarious.
>I would stay away trying to be super detailed about what you did in small time increments

Amen to this - in fact, I'd say that if you have a customer asking for this kind of granularity, be wary. My own experience is the more a customer wants to micromanage your time and cost, the more likely they are to become a customer more trouble than they are worth.
I've been using 4k with linux for years. On large desktop screens I don't find fractional scaling to be necessary. The important text in apps that matter like terminals, text editors and browsers, chat clients, etc, has always supported scaling well. The only thing that lacked support were system dialogs and title bars. 2x was fine for those until fractional support came out in gnome recently.
HN is associated with a startup incubator, and every startup I've seen has engaged in some measure of shady growth hacking. Once you start blurring the lines, you open yourself to stuff like this.

That said though I can see how this specific case happened just looking at incentives. Startups are strapped for people, and offboarding is sadly one of the first things to get dropped, because it doesn't directly increase revenue (and may even decrease retention).

Even more cynically I wouldn't be surprised if there was a time where this warning wasn't even shown at all and presentations just went back to being public because the has_active_subscription field returned false.

It’s definitely unlikely but as someone who’s often guilty of only reading the headlines I’m uncomfortable with it presenting something as fact like this.

This event really has to be about the Apple silicon machines— but that’s not what was announced and the headline shouldn’t say it was.
Mmm I don't know, maybe it's me and the fact I don't have a problem coding for many hours at a time, during which it's one step forward, two back, three forward, etc. We all know how debugging is. If I broke that time down across many 2 minutes as a beginner I would have quit. And currently when I don't have time I'd rather let the problem ruminate in my head than code, or make progress in some of the other ways I mentioned, but definitely not coding.

I've actually read both Fogg (dry and repetitive but more precise) and Clear (more engaging but more fuzzy/muddled concepts) although not Duhigg. Like I said I agree/use the method. I'm not picking holes just pointing out potentially bad examples. Also most people will not read the books. They'll read the 5 minute versions like these. They should have the absolute clearest/best examples.
And yet, observe the lovely greyed out color of the comment to which you are responding, among the large quantity of claims that it's only the right that engages in propaganda and self-serving delusional thinking.

It would be quite interesting (but I suspect unpopular) for HN to have an experimental mode where people must give a reason for downvoting. :)
Brave is interesting because its users fall for the 'VPN' fallacy.

Rather than having your traffic logged by your local ISP, bound by the laws of the land and all the privacy regulations in your country, you send all your traffic through a third party based in a foreign country with no oversight whatsoever.

Or - with browsers - rather than install and configure Firefox to disable the (very limited) telemetry and configure ad blockers etc, you install a chromium derivative with all the Google pieces replaced with a different flavour of mystery sauce. You're still having all the analytics captured, it just goes to somebody with far less scrutiny than Google.
Systemd is emphatically Linux-specific software and relies on almost every single non-POSIX syscall under the sun. FreeBSD's Linux emulator isn't complete enough to run systemd at this time (chiefly missing things like cgroups and namespaces). It is theoretically possible we could eventually emulate enough of Linux to run systemd.

As far as things that depend on systemd — sort of. Sure, you won't be able to manage servers with systemctl and that sort of thing; systemd as pid 1. Smaller pieces under the systemd umbrella, of which there are several, may work well enough.
+1 for Zoho. I moved from GSuite for my domain’s email to Zoho and it was pretty easy and has been running well for over two years now.
There are also ways to reliably find and curate this data for trading firms and asset managers. But that usually requires a somewhat uncommon blend of skills; like statistics, web scraping, reverse engineering, or some domain expertise that gives you an edge in (legally) finding and using nonpublic data. Scrappiness also helps a lot.

Could you please suggest tools other than a VPN for protecting privacy? I am guessing this would be along the lines of adblockers and custom browser configurations.

I am told VPNs may not be that great for blocking newer forms of advertising tracking (owing to advances in fingerprinting) -- but I have very little on hand to substantiate this notion.

That's why bazel has visibility rules. You have to explicitly mark things public or express which package can import which package. If used judiciously it can help keep things in check or at least have the teams involved be aware of the maintenance burden.

I'd like to add Jitsi Meet (https://meet.jit.si) works great. I would say from being forced to use Google Meet and using Jitsi Meet, Jitsi's audio quality and reliability are superior to Google Meet.
I would certainly love if Apple made this device friendly to Linux use. The lack of Bootcamp support makes it seem unlikely, but I can hope. The fact that they made a point of demoing Linux in a VM is (very) slightly encouraging.
That article is from Strong Towns. Strong Towns' entire premise is that growing outward is inefficient. They would make the same argument I am about planning for the future in a place like Hudson Yards, where millions of square feet are under construction.
That’s not true. RISC-V targets the full spectrum of processors (well, not 8/16-bit, so not the very low end). Some of the decisions they made, compared to say OpenRISC is made just to make the ISA easier to implement with superscalar CPUs (not having branch delay slots)
I use gmail (my own domain) and use their search occasionally. I am aiming not to be using gmail by the new year (think I may opt for Fastmail) and only use G search as a last resort.
