> We all encouraged our friends and family to ditch IE for chrome, and look where that got us.

I didn't. I encouraged friends and family to ditch IE for Firefox and nowadays I encourage them to ditch Chrome for Firefox. I never cared that Chrome was a little faster for some time.

One person that only uses the (very old and underpowered computer) for mail and printing documents I helped install Linux (not Ubuntu ;)) and since then they are much happier, because it doesn't get slower with each security update and needs less maintenance help than with Windows.

Antitrust entities bashed microsoft for shipping IE and look where that got us.

If anything, it's worth keeping in mind that volumes of regulations written for big corps may indeed force them to behave, but are an impediment for tiny companies to enter.

Corps like microsoft do call for regulations and copyright laws all the time, the have an army of lobbyists, they know that even without regulatory capture these extinguish competition.

Lenovo P series workstations are also worth considering

I have a P72 and it is garbage. Plugged into a docking station it works OK as really expensive mid-range workstation. Trying to use it as a laptop causes the fans to spin like crazy, performance throttled to shit and the and battery life of maybe 90 minutes for even fairly modest workloads. The similarly specced Dell Precision I had before was much better in every way and was actually usable as a laptop.

The P5X series that many of my colleagues have seem much better.

I should learn prosemirror. just figured it would be a nice to have a simple text editor with markdown shortcuts. So perhaps let me rephrase by saying: i find outline clunky and don’t want to spend the time learning proesmirror to get rid of some of the clunkiness.

Also, any major distinctions between prosemirror, slate.js, and draft.js?
Path tracing is currently state-of-the-art for making photorealistic CG images because it can generate real reflections, refractions &c. by simulating something very similar to how the physical world works.

A photo (or movie) is, however, taken through a lens that distorts the image (sometimes intentionally; what is and isn't in focus in a composition is important for drawing the viewers attention).

A path tracer can already simulate this by just putting a bunch of pieces of glass shaped like the real lenses of a camera, but this is extremely computationally intensive.

This particular implementation uses a few (already known in the literature) techniques for making it faster: bidirectional tracing, selective oversampling, and thin-lens approximations.

This is an implementation of these techniques for Arnold, which is a renderer implementation used for many feature films[1].

> The only thing left is bad user experience linux.

I occasionally have to use a Macbook for work. The last thing I want when I'm trying to get work done is: an unsolicited notification that OS updates are available, with no direct option to decline to update and dismiss the notification. I'd much rather update my system by issuing "pacman -Syu" on my own terms, and I consider Linux distros to offer a superior user experience in this regard.
The name makes sense if you're aware of the etymology of the word "lentil" [1]:

From Middle English lentile, from Old French lentille from Latin lenticula, diminutive of lēns, from a Proto-Indo-European root shared by German Linse and Ancient Greek λάθυρος (láthuros). Doublet of lenticula.

In Swedish, for example, the word for the food ("lins") is exactly the same as the word for the optical component. I just thought that was interesting, since naming is hard and perhaps the connection was not obvious to everybody.

The location of the UK's current nuclear submarines bases, surprisingly close to Glasgow - the largest city in Scotland, was mainly due to the preferences of the US Navy.

The UK Government had agreed to US submarines being based here and wanted them somewhere reasonably remote (Scotland) - but the US Navy also wanted to be reasonably close to airfields and other facilities. So a site at the Holy Loch was selected for US Navy use and the Royal Navy decided it should position its bases next to the US base.

Source: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0171SWRGI/ref=dp-kindle-redirec...

Apparently the Royal Navy originally wanted to use somewhere much further north such as Loch Glendhu - which is fairly empty and nowhere near a major city.

Edit: US Navy stopped having a submarine based in Scotland in '92:

I like the quote in the post from the Associated Press Fact Check:

Are we to believe Michigan's Voter Information site or Associated Press Fact Check that there is no evidence in 2020?
Oh believe me. There definitely is infighting. The people doing the infighting just haven’t started trying to involve the wider audience (yet?) :)
But they won't be made unless someone is ready to bear the consequences. Those are decisions which have no all-positive outcome.

Just a single point: climate change will devastate many of our coastal areas and that's where a huge portion of our economy, culture and populations are based.

Displacement (migration) and economic collapse are inevitable here since the next 150 years will see nearly all sea trade ports in big trouble. And shipping is absolutely at the backbone of our economy - most stuff you use comes from another continent.

Sure, you can leave New York City or Hamburg and setup shop farther inland but... it's not like this will happen overnight and then we have new coastal lines ready for new ports and sea trade and everyone can send iPhones around the planet again.

Don't even try to move the shipping volume of sea trade to air freight btw.

The factory work is the sort of things that have been written into framework these days. Learn to use the appropriate one well and it should take away much of the grunt work.

> What they want is predictable, maintainable error free software that still works when the "artist" moves on.

That is where the craft of software engineering comes into play. It's relatively easy to make code that works. It takes a lot of experience to consistently write code that is intuitive for the next developer to understand quickly. Keeping the complexity low while keeping the same functionality is an art.
I don't think that snooping on the connection explicitly reveals what app is being being launched - it just reveals the identity of the developer that signed it. But I agree that if the developer only has one App, then it does sort of give the game away.

Kahn actually ran studies to come up with his numbers of a nuclear war causing a ten year economic regression and only killing 50% of a country. His point was that on a long enough timeline it would/will eventually happen, and with adequate preparation a country could ensure both objective victory and survival for the majority of its populace and civilization.

Someone has to think about the unthinkable. Wishing nukes away won't make them disappear, and as shown in Daniel Ellsberg's the Doomsday Machine, nuclear weapons have been used as weapons of war in U.S. foreign policy for decades as indirect threats and bluffs. They will eventually be used again as explosive ordinance. Civil defense was lambasted and deprioritized in the west because people thought with their hearts instead of their minds with regard to the destructive power of nuclear weapons.

Decades of poor science on nuclear winter based off of the terrible TTAPS climate model have engendered the notion that nuclear war is a death sentence to humanity. It's not true, academia knows it is not, but nobody will push the subsequent corrective nuclear winter stories because the fear of nuclear winter keeps nuclear hawks at bay in political office. The top answer in this quotation question has a ton of links on this: https://www.quora.com/Is-the-nuclear-winter-a-hoax

They are weapons of war. They are effective weapons of war. They will eventually be used as explosive ordinance and not just threats and bluffs. Calling them unthinkable and anyone who plans for survival following their use a horrible person is bad emotional rhetoric. We should have an implementable plan for civil defense like China and Russia do. We should not allow fear to prevent the survival of our way of life.

Why is this upvoted? It's nonsense.
I've worked with Python for more than 15 years, usually with code bases 50-100k lines per app. The only time I have had real issues with types was a codebase I inherited where previous developers were using None, (), "", [], and {} all to mean roughly the same thing and sometimes checking for "", sometimes () etc. I couldn't handle it, so I put asserts everywhere and slowly found out where those things were coming from and sanitized it to be consistent.
> People should be allowed to make their own choices in what they believe to be their best interests

You are contradicting yourself. People are explicitly choosing iphone, a walled garden. Then you say that that's a wrong choice because you believe it's a general purpose computing device and should work differently.

If people buy it then, well, they are fine with it.

I agree, but at the same time, they pushed it pretty hard by not just doing an Air with the chip like I thought they would, but putting it in a Pro as well (with, according to the early benchmarks I've seen, barely any performance difference. I mean they could at least have put two of them in there)
I've looked up your list and remembered great movie Vitamania. Most striking part was that to people living in space, no suplements are provided except vitamin D. Every other is gained from various food they eat. And the supplement industry is barely regulated and HUUUGE in US.

There have always been dictionary attacks.

You're judging it from the wrong position. Diceware is an improvement upon the usual kinds of passwords people feel forced to come up with, and then re-use everywhere.

A password manager is better than diceware, and whilst it feels like less friction to people who use them, people can be unwilling to use one.

Just rejecting passwords found in HIBP's stolen passwords list had me receive death threats and long rants about how password security isn't my responsibility and I was putting up too much friction.
Very often the problem doesn't seem to be the disaster itself, it's how unprepared we are to deal with it and the fact it's economically unfeasible. People can't just move to a healthy, habitable planet nearby because there is no such (known?) thing.

Think about how devastating nuclear war would be on our lifestyle, when things such as viruses and a higher frequency of cold and heat waves are already disrupting it.
Enablers, that is what they are. If the EU manages to push that anti-encryption thing through, Apple will be the one forced to remove the App from your PC. 1984 is here already.
I think Razer would satisfy those 3 criteria. Razer is known for their line of high-end laptops with comparable design and arguably better specifications than the MacBook line. They are mainly marketed to gamers, but could easily double as development workstations. There's even a pretty well-maintained set of Razer hardware drivers for linux (https://openrazer.github.io/#project).
Are they serious about pursuing the goal of ending the world? Or is this a joke?

The response to 'How can I help?', namely 'You are surely helping already' seems like the biggest clue to me that this is a joke.

iOS time bug (watch the clock)
I'm not. Since the last few iterations of Apple hardware and OS software, I've decided to switch to something else. I'm also advicing all friends and collegues to do the same. There is simply no reason to stay with Apple anymore as a professional. It used to be stability and ease of use, but Windows has since closed that gap, and Linux is a close second (and a must for programming).

Most likely that means I'll run a Linux laptop for programming, and have a partition for Windows on a gaming computer, cuz I love me some games. I know Steam is gradually approaching Linux, but most AAA games still run best under Win. Plus it's an easy platform (outside OS X) to run multimedia production tools. Sorry, I just don't think Gimp or other Linux tools for multimedia production are good enough yet, but the hope remains that they will someday compete with giants like Adobe. For real. And not just as free but woefully inadequate alternatives. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, though. I'd love to be surprised, if you are able!

I'm so glad I sticked to Arch Linux since early days. It felt wild in the beginning but now, after 10 years, I'm glad I took the risk. Yes, I have had a few sleepless nights trying to solve problems (90% of time caused by myself, remaining 10% caused by not reading wiki/docs/forum before doing stuff). And yes, Arch is not as polished and pretty as MacOS is but... I don't care, I do backend so I can survive without frontend niceness. In the same time I feel sorry for people who rely on tools from apple... it won't be as easy for them to switch.
I do have a Chromebook in front of me and I can certainly login without any network connection.

Contrary to popular belief, ChromeOS devs do know that people might want to use Chromebooks on airplane or train trips without network. Google Docs / Sheets / Slides work on a cached copy and sync when online again.
I’m personally quite a big fan of the trackpad and gestures but I understand that they take some getting used to. If they are causing you frustration then you can turn them off under system preferences > trackpad in the “scroll and zoom” and “more gestures” sections. I’d recommend keeping most of the scroll ones and disabling most of the others, then one by one turning on any of the ones you think would be most useful as you get more used to them.

clickbait. lame.
I use Chrome/Brave only for work, so I started using Safari for the personal stuff to separate the history and open state, since I use the same device for both.

I was using Safari 14 since the day it was released for macOS Catalina. The animations, for example when you open the link menu (cmd+L), make it sluggish. And that's on last year's 16" macbook pro without any heavy load, so it should not be slow.

Dev tools have improved, but so has Chrome. They still have a long way to go. I'm a frontend developer so I use these tools daily and I still use Chrome only because of the superior developer experience.

The touchid support is a neat feature, but 1password gets very close to it and I can use it in any browser. The only place where I was truly surprised with Safari was when you log to icloud.com, Apple pulls some 1st party magic there.

I'm now using Firefox in place of Safari, it feels faster and snappier. Checks all the boxes listed in the parent and then some, except native fingerprint support.
I wonder if Safari is somehow performing better on big sur. I will test it during the weekend when I upgrade.
