> Apple has never had a "pro" workstation-style laptop like the Thinkpad P. The MacBook Pro line has always been relatively-thin, relatively-light, not-very-upgradable: going back almost fifteen years.

The 17" lunch trays were that product, and were bought by people who wanted to edit photos in the field or get a lot of spreadsheet cells on the display. They had the highest performance as well.

That's a great point. You can just point at the IdP and say "this is what a user is, this is what a group is" and have the discussion wrapped up quickly. You're basically front-loading the user entity definition discussion to the evaluation phase (or, if your org has already chosen, offloading it to previously vetted solutions).

Lambda has huge potential for very defined work load. In this case, I do not get it. As you mentioned the idea of having 3 regions with 3000 cores? Are you doing ML on K8s? Another aspect is the caching with CDN and internally, I do not get that either.

It's skimming credit card data at the point of use. Physical terminal or webpage doesn't seem a big distinction. The end result is the same, and it is a term that the general public is more likely to have heard. "Script injection" doesn't mean anything to to the average consumer.
Personally I use Flickr and am happy with them.
Exactly none of those things are Democratic priorities. Democratic priorities are (a) Forcing everyone into a government-run health care plan whether they want it or not, because allowing private health care plans is classist and therefore racist. (b) Making all illegal immigrants immediately legal, with all the free stuff that implies, to the detriment of would-be and actual legal immigrants; because to do otherwise would be racist. (c) Eliminating government spending on coal and oil and (for some fucked up reason) nuclear, where increases in spending on "green" (much less green than nuclear of course) energy are just a shiny byproduct; because something something all white people are racist.

So no, messaging is not the problem, and by making that unsupported claim you're just perpetuating the actually classist and actually racist argument that Trump voters are stupid.

But the tech exists. It's not like we're using tin cans and string and trying to replace that with a gizmo; we have the gizmo, and now we're trying to make an open-source version of it. While the goal is admirable there's no real benefit from using a less-tested Raspberry Pi project. There are less risky ways to learn the same lessons - a video walky-talky maybe.
I'm not sure why it should be controversial. They are talking about their individual children, whom they know, not about the male or female gender as a whole.

I wish people would stop imagining nonsense like that. They did it with Trump too - he was supposed to start a nuclear war with North Korea or something ridiculous that never happened. Judge people by their actions, not some exaggerated fantasy of the future.

When you self host uptime tools keep in mind you’re blind to any problems that affect both your uptime monitor and your servers. So if they’re on the same machine, cloud provider, data center... you won’t get alerted to a lot of issues.

A court can legally get an injunction that forces you to comply and keep your complicity secret. That's why "warrant canaries"[1] exist, a company will release a regular statement where they include a line like "We have never been forced to comply with the US federal government.". That way if it does happen they can simply remove the line from future releases to make it clear without violating an injuction.

Unfortunately this doesn't get you any sort of specificity in terms of what happened with what data or why so it's a pretty crude method. Also a court could force you to keep that canary statement active which renders the whole thing moot.

> The more that we can "hyperlink" journalism to sources, the less an individual writer's bias matters, I think.

The correlation between the quality of research/argumentation and the amount of hyperlinks in the text is essentially zero, and some of the worst partisan hacks of all political stripes are prolific generators of footnotes and links.

Greenwald provides no more evidence for the actual claims about Biden's computer than Bloomberg did for the Chinese spy story. He does of course provide a lot more hyperlinks to circumstantial stuff, a lot of angry links to mainstream media not taking the story seriously (which is his main focus) and more sympathetic links to reportage by the likes of the Daily Caller, but the Chinese spy story's credibility certainly wouldn't have been boosted if Bloomberg's house style involved angrily linking to everyone who said they didn't think there was any truth to it and accusing them of mounting a coverup operation, or by links to support the circumstantial case everyone already knows (yes, China can and does mount surveillance operations; yes, Supermicro manufactures in China).

If anything, I'd say the opposite is often the case: aggressive hyperlinking is often a way to encourage people to overlook the obvious bias and thinness of a story is by appealing to the "if it's got lots of hyperlinks it must be complete, accurate and important" strand of faith in stuff that's written down. Ann Coulter and Michael Moore don't fill their books with footnotes because they want their readers to look beyond their biases....
Firebase’s reliability issues forever fired them from my arsenal. Their uptime dashboard regularly lied about being available, as well. The coup de grace was when they went down during a demo to a customer where I had put in 20 hours of prep beforehand.

Configly looks like it would fill a niche of needing to give levers and dials to a non-technical customer who contracted the technical coding of the app/product out.
This is a great question, and the answer is a resounding yes!

The API is already powerful, and powers real applications, but it's quite raw. We plan on gradually building all of the above and more. We just first needed a solid base to work from.
I remember seeing this on reddit, the license changed quite a lot over the past month, with some very weird custom licenses asking you not to be a fake victim, lie, etc in the process - https://github.com/c9fe/22120/commits/master/LICENSE - how safe is it to assume that the current license will stay?
If you looked more closely, I think you would find that women are reprimanded regardless of whether their accusations are false or not. The very act of bringing an accusation triggers an incredible amount of negative publicity and hostility. No sane person would voluntarily subject themselves to that. Hence why so many sexual assaults go unreported.
I ve been waiting fr this. I am going to build my cloud storage product. Only difference will be in pricing and bucket size.

Here is how it ll go
Steps of 10 Gb - 20 rs/month
no fixed plans like google or apple. This will save users some money.
mc-mu(u+1)*1.69/2
this is the cost equation, basically this will give u the amount of money you will lose by going with a fixed plan say 100GB over my suggested 10GB steps.
eg. if u only generate 1GB per month you ll lose ~4400rs due to unused space if you go with 100GB plan.
I think you could have a really good iOS DAW, I think Apple will release Logic for iPad pro at some point. But yes some of the iOS architecture is a bit weird, in terms of apps/plugins/files silos.

I think the "no windows" and sandboxed apps/files paradigms are very limiting for pro work.

And you really need lots of customisable keyboard shortcuts for most pro work, most iOS apps are extremely lacking in this department.
And what a shame iCloud's included storage is. One device's backups can dangerously close to 5gb without trying, and any additional device backups will easily push you over 5gb, effectively forcing you into the $1/mo storage plan or $4/mo if you want to share 200gb total with your family.
It's a totally normal thing in english to add redundancy to emphasize. Global pandemic isn't wrong and nobody has to pay more to use two words instead of one. Lived experience is the same thing. Nothing wrong with emphasis.
f.lux was never allowed in the iOS App Store, because it needs private APIs to change the screen color temperature.

Yeah, I definitely think that will help. I've had the same experience when trying to get back into running. Knowing I used to run a lot makes it a lot easier getting started all over again.
I ran a BBS, my friend :) I'm quite familiar with modems. I just never used Windows (or the web!) until well past the Netscape era, so I'm not too familiar with the intersection of modems and early web browsers.

> Netscape had integration with the modem connectivity for the OS and would initiate a connection when you tried to visit a remote page.

That's not "integration with modem connectivity", that's just going through the OS's socket API (or userland socket stack, e.g. Trumpet Winsock); where the socket library dials the modem to serve the first bind(2). Sort of like auto-mounting a network share to serve a VFS open(2).

Try it yourself: boot up a Windows 95 OSR2 machine with a (configured) modem, and try e.g. loading your Outlook Express email. The modem will dial. It's a feature of the socket stack.

These socket stacks would also automatically hang up the modem if the stack was idle (= no open sockets) for long enough.

My point was that a quiescent HTML4 browser has no open sockets, whether or not it's intentionally "offline." If you do as you say — load up a bunch of pages, and then sit there reading them — your modem will hang up, whether or not you play with Netscape's toggles.

(On single-tasking OSes like DOS — where a TCP/IP socket stack would be a part of a program, rather than a part of the OS — there was software that would eagerly hang up the modem whenever its internal socket refcount dropped to zero. But this isn't really a useful strategy for a multitasking OS, since a lot of things — e.g. AOL's chatroom software presaging AIM — would love to poll just often enough to cause the line that had just disconnected to reconnect. Since calls were charged per-minute rather than per-second, these reconnects had overhead costs!)

> [Netscape's] offline mode let you disable automatic dialing of the modem.

When you do... what?

When you first open the browser, to avoid loading your home page? (I guess that's sensible, especially if you're using Netscape in its capacity as an email client to read your already-synced email; or using it to author and test HTML; or using it to read local HTML documentation. And yet, not too sensible, since you need to open the browser to get to that toggle... is this a thing you had to think about in advance, like turning off your AC before shutting off your car?)

But I think you're implying that it's for when you try to navigate to a URL in the address bar, or click a link.

In which case, would the page, in fact, be served from the client-side cache, or would you just get nothing? (Was HTTP client-side caching even a thing in the early 90s? Did disks have the room to hold client-side caches? Did web servers by-and-large bother to send HTTP/1.0 Expires and Last-Modified headers? Etc.)
Knobs and sliders allow users to leverage their spatial and manipulation abilities to specify a value from a continuous range.

You could also ask users to just type in a number, but that interrupts the flow and pushes some other data out of their short-term memory. Composers and audio engineers would probably prefer to keep that part of their brain free to focus on other things.

Sliders can also be laid out in an array (as on a mixing console) to give at a glance a graphical representation of relative levels. Another example is on the classic "two turntable" DJ mixing setup where a horizontally-oriented slider is used to control the balance between left and right.

Knobs' advantage is they are particularly space-efficient.

So you tend to see sliders used for the primary controls in situations where its useful to compare them side-by-side, and everything else as a knob.
> "For years we have needed a tax on remote workers," wrote Deutsche Bank strategist Luke Templeman. "Covid has just made it obvious."

The chutzpah of these turds is unbelievable.

"For years we have need a tax on TBTF banks, their traders, their bosses, their board members, their speculators, and the taxes and bonds raised them to bail them of their losses, their bankruptcies, and their assholery." "Covid has just made it obvious".

Why don't we start on a 45% tax on the salaries of Deutsche Bank employees who can work from home but refuse to.
There is a term for people like Ajit Pai taking leading roles and it is corporate capture. This has been happening to other government agencies and it is a real risk to a democracy. These people have a single goal and that is to serve corporate interests. We have seen this happen in several agencies under the current administration.
As andybak says, almost certainly privacy. It's very easy for an unsophisticated user to share photos that, for example, effectively show where they live (or where someone else lives). I believe Facebook strips geo data as well. (A service like Flickr does not although I assume there is a switch somewhere that tells it to.)

>I don't think it's ominous. Different platforms serve different interests and demographics

Split into two separate social networks dramatically increases the echo chamber effect.

e.g. on reddit someone from /r/conservatives might still interact with /r/liberals because they both have an interest in /r/succulents

They may not be speaking about politics but they're still interacting. If you're on two different platforms even that minor overlap falls away & that allows for the two to drift further apart and harden in their views

Yeah...this just sounds like recurrent antisocial behavior to me. No commitment to anyone or anything, not even his own family or sense of identity.

I doubt he "enjoyed" messing with others; more like he could not fathom what impact his actions had on them. Narcissists and cult leaders are the ones who "enjoy" messing with others-- and tend to stay in place until the bitter end.

I understood that as "we weren't booting something else in our demos, we were using virtualization" but not "we can't boot anything else". I am sure, however, that they would like you to use virtualization instead of direct booting.

Please, don't be so quick on the trigger.:) The core message is: Tools are tools. Nothing more. Actually I have been around enough to design and implement pixel perfect designs using Macromedia Fireworks - the originator of the idea of symbols.
Figma enables collaborative implementation and in this use case I will consider using it. But the prevalent idea in current moment is that Figma is universal cure of a big problem, a tool to end all tools. Which is not. The biggest problem for me is the lack of originality and deep visual identity in UI design in general. We have powerful computers that can play 4k video games but UI design is boring boxes and most important thing for designers is to collaborate online.

"Apple has a market incentive not to lie!" is an argument I find compelling, but the NSA has a bigger incentive to make Apple lie, and more power than Apple. If Apple & friends were ever offering a truly secure communication channel it is unlikely that was/will be allowed to continue.
> Not sure, but they might just add up the space taken by individual files?

My point is that there is no "file" for Google Docs. They are some rows in a database somewhere. Probably some update rows and the occasional snapshot proto.

I guess it is no less arbitrary than a MS Office file, but since you can see the file on your disk you know the intrinsic size.

I'm definitely not saying they should give away the storage for free. But it is an interesting problem for how to count this in a user-understandable way.
There may be some truth here.

For a few years now whenever I come up with an idea about new software project I find someone already did it and shared on public Git repo.

Wow, I didn't expect this post to have this much interest. Anyway, feel free to ask if you have any question :)
I wonder how much typical account uses free storage. I was recently helping a family member troubleshoot their over quota Google Photo backup, originally setup for full quality, since I thought 15GB was enough for life time. Was surprised to find they shot close to 60GB worth random shit in the last few years after putting them on my One family circle. I guess explosion in camera sensors and high res recording is making a lot of croft.

I think Google should start throwing some deduplication photos in Google Feeds everyday, help them clear up some space and help users clear up their gallery which is often filled with so much useless shit that it's hard to use. There's something about physical film where each shot was precious and developing photo came with it's own sorting / curation process. Online photo are pretty tedious viewing experience compared to physical albums, I know a lot of people who practice inbox zero but virtually no one who keeps their online photos kempt.
I agree, it's not a skimmer.

> Are these usually used for monitoring (like a read-only api)?

Yes.

> I guess I'm asking if you can take postgres and "turn it inside out" by cherry-picking parts of it to build other storage software with it.

Unfortunately many subsystems of postgres are too
interdependent to easily be used independently. Including the WAL.

Part of that is historical / unintentional. But there's also plenty places where generalizing subsystems would make the whole slower and/or more complicated.

There definitely are bits that I'd like to have used outside of postgres many times. If you have to write C, something like postgres' memory context API makes it so much more convenient (and often more performant too!).
> Now, I haven't actually watched a movie in years. I think that although there are new movies coming out, the patterns are fundamentally the same and so movies have gotten boring

I completely agree. I used to read only non fiction books. I have started reading fantasy fiction books a year or two ago and the thing that blew my mind is that these books have stories! Not the Nth variation of the same pattern that exists in every Hollywood movie but something I had never encountered before. I had given up on novelty years ago. That is really refreshing.
True but their AI adds a lot of value. Searching for people is invaluable (though to be fair if you have the files locally, Windows Photos does that too.) Searching by item in the photo is less useful but I can imagine people use it now and again. And the automatically created videos are a nice bonus.

But yeah, not enough for me to pay them for it. If I'm going to pay someone, I'll pay someone else.
