What's really happening was the Trump admin promotes pseudoscience and fringe theories and flat out lies and completely ignore the advices from epidemiology experts (Fauci et al) and CDC and FDA and then appointed a neuroradiologist to advice the COVID-19 task force[1]. And then the medical / scientific communities got really fed up and decided to took a stand against it.

Science is science, it doesn't matter what your faith is, what party you affiliated. Whether the public has any faith on science has NO BEARING on science being closer to the truth.

Isn’t the application name set at connect time? Or can you change that after startup? (Re)connecting to the database and not having a pool is kind of a nightmare.
I cannot disagree more with this. We cannot accept these "figures of speech" in a political environment driven by bad faith.
I read that there is 15 UI of vitamin D in a steak. You need 25 or 100 times that per day. It’s more likely that humans evolved to get their vitamin D from sunlight (although we also know that introduces cancer risk) than eating a whole cow every day. It seems like you’re trying to make the facts fit your preferred narrative re. meat consumption.
You know I use a vitamin d supplement because I'm not a big outdoors guy and I livein the northern USA and I was deficient at my last annual inspection. That said why does HN seem to have a vitamin D story everyday? It's not a magic pill. If you have deficient levels you should do something about it, but it's not a cure all.
Are Macbooks really overpriced? A Microsoft Surface or a Razer laptop cost roughly the same price.
Again, none of that means familiarity with DI. Why deflect about the language? This has nothing to do with C#.

You never answered what your actual issue with DI is (the concept, implementation, containers, etc), or what your alternative would be, even though numerous people have asked. That makes your complaint seem largely unfounded or a combination of confusion and lack of experience with DI.
Not running 32bit code anymore die definitely happen
Yup, unit tests, and in my mind, that's bad. There's two reasons:

#1 Because the language provides no means to arbitrarily mock fields of a class, an entire design pattern and framework needs to be created just to do so. Why can't the language just have such a feature?

#2 This actually temps people in building worse design, because instead of creating pure units that don't have dependencies to begin with, it facilitates the opposite of creating deeply nested chains of dependencies, because "DI framework wires it up for me". Where if you didn't have that luxury, you'd be pushed towards pure units that don't have state dependencies, and integ tests instead, which in my mind is much better overall.
Good luck finding a suitable replacement. Microsoft does unpredictable things to Windows. Linux maintainers do unpredictable things to all sorts of things.

Your only real recourse is to compile everything from source after a thorough review every time...

...or else trust someone.

Sure Apple had a problem here, but there are so many other reasons to trust them over any other org that I can't in good conscience switch platforms, because there's so much more anxiety elsewhere.

You could scavenge electric motors, some metal sheets and a bunch of wood into a hydroelectric generator. So there would still be electricity.
What I've been thinking about is doing the virtual machine route and being able to be on the same computer from dumb terminals around the house.

In this case, you could many 3rd party OS vendors supplying the host machines. Dumb terminals could get competitive.
Having used GUI ETL tools for years (SSIS, Informatca, Talend, Appworx) and now using Airflow(Prefect is an excellent alternative btw), I hope to never go back. Great to see Glue improving and for the industry’s sake I hope it doesn’t catch on. Most ETL should be treated as code. As code, ETLs are easier to write, maintain, and manage complexity.

They own the software.

You didn't pay for that. You licensed it from them.
Most of the time, you're absolutely right especially with how Octave or Julia code is normally distributed. The code is delivered to the client and the client runs the code on their system. No GPL violations have occurred.

That said, I believe it gets trickier once we start compiling the code. Say I want to develop a piece of software for my client and I don't want them to have the source, Octave doesn't really have a way to do this, but MATLAB does and since MATLAB has purchased all of the requisite licenses, we're good to go. Julia makes me more uncomfortable. We can make binaries with PackageCompiler.jl, but if we do, we should be subject to the provisions in the GPL. That's no different than any other piece of software, but Julia, Octave, and MATLAB all use these libraries and most people don't know that something like the chol command hooks into SuiteSparse in the backend.
> These machines are the first general purpose computers ever where you have to make an exclusive choice: you can have a fast and efficient machine, or you can have a private one.

Most of the components inside my PC are over 10 years old. I do video editing. I do music production with many VSTs open and running. And of course web browsing with a million tabs opened at once. For any of those tasks I can't see what would be the point of having a faster machine. Everything happens at once.

Also, having a modular machine lets you replace individual parts when they fail (which they almost never do anyway).

What are people doing with their computers that need so much computing power? Is it gaming?

I switched back (after a Mac stint for 12 years) to Linux a couple of years ago, and although hardware support is much better there are still some very sharp edges you could easily bleed out on if you briefly touch.

I have a ThinkPad T470s running Arch Linux (I also tried Fedora and Ubuntu and saw these there too):

- Desktop performance is too poor to run at 4K, even though it works fine in Windows. I'm not talking playing games (they actually work well), just having a desktop with a browser and editor running at 4K. Ive tried Gnome, XFCE and Plasma on Wayland and X11 and they are all the same. The desktop feels slower, but strangely running tests (backend TypeScript and Scala) is noticeably much slower.

- Multiple monitors mostly works, but it's not always plug and play. Sometimes when I plug in an external monitor it doesn't always switch to it, so I have to set it up manually. Other times it just doesn't detect the monitor so I need to reboot. See note above about testing different DEs.

- Bluetooth audio mostly works (including LDAC) but the sound system often gets confused about which output device should be used. Sometimes Bluetooth audio connects, but it still defaults to the speakers. Sometimes the volume control turns down the Bluetooth audio, but turns up the speakers. See note above about testing different DEs.

- Suspend/resume mostly works, but sometimes it has the same issues as when connecting monitors. Sometimes when I resume I get a black screen, but if I go to a virtual terminal I can restart X11 and everything works. Other times it doesn't without a reboot.

Now of course these aren't the end of the world. I've been using this system and dealing with these issues for a couple of years now. The tradeoffs vs Apple privacy and better developer tooling (native Docker is so much nicer) on Linux make it worth it for me. I also have a desktop system which works perfectly, so it seems to mainly be issues with laptops (or this laptop?). But yeah compared to macOS or Windows, Linux really lacks a lot of polish.
> Meanwhile on Linux, I cannot upgrade to the new kernel that contains a lot of support and fixes for my new shiny AMD Ryzen chip because it completely breaks the Nvidia driver, refusing even to boot.

Well that's the problem with Linux distros for the desktop in general. A user upgrading a newer version of a single system component risks breaking the whole desktop: systemd, libdrm, x11, whatever and something else doesn't work. I'm even excluding drivers here but again it's clear what happens when a user finds that out for themselves on Linux. If they even have the time and energy to do all that digging and googling of cryptic errors.

To save yourself the time and frustration, Just keep using Windows 10 with WSL2. I don't have any reason to dual boot to a Linux desktop any more due to this.
At the grocery store I can bolt at a moment’s notice if I see anything sketchy happening. No can do on an airplane. There could be a guy sitting next to me and coughing all over me for hours.
It really isn't trivial and having light does not mean you can support EV charging. You are going to want a ~1MW supply to a parking lot with even 30 or so chargers.

That's not a trivial thing to suddenly install. Often will require significant new ducting and cabling to be ran from far away.

Even before EV rollout getting a 1MW supply can take years from the power company.

You also have another problem that cities do not have enough transmission capacity from the main grid to them to handle 2xing power supply.

It's definitely doable but really is going to be similar to building today's power grid out all over again. Everything needs doubled.

In every case, the greatest return on investment for any surveillance system comes from extortion. Extortion takes many, many forms. Some forms are favored by the FBI and prosecutors. Others are favored by spooks. Criminals have many of their own. In every case, they involve coercion.

A key fact about extortion is that the person being coerced is often not the person surveilled. It may be, instead, a judge, or a prosecutor, a purchasing agent, an admissions director, a night watchman. Each has parents, children, spouses, bosses, friends they would not want to suffer. The person surveilled need not even know they were used; the coercion is often more effective when they don't.

For each time you have heard of a defendant who pled guilty to a false charge, a judge who ruled in obvious contradiction to settled law, a legislator who voted against contituents' interests or resigned for "personal reasons", a manager who embezzled, or a contract awarded to the weaker proposal, consider whether it really was just on a whim.

This is the world of pervasive surveillance we are plunging into. This is the world that only consistent encryption and anonymity can have any chance of protecting against. But it is your family and friends who need the encryption and anonymity, not just you.
> Linux maintainers do unpredictable things to all sorts of things.

With Linux you don't have to worry about every program you launch being reported to the mothership, or that failure of the mothership to respond would cause your computer to not function.
> I remember distros (Debian and others) patching cdrecord, which resulted in the upstream author getting furious and re-licensing cdrecord under a non-free license to stop them.

Right, because he was getting blamed for bugs introduced by those patches.

> Hadoop is not buildable with non-bundled dependencies, as far as I understand. This violates Policy. We were discussing reliability – am I missing something here?

Well, if you can't install programs you want to use, that's not reliable. My point is that in practice you end up with an awkward mix of system-managed and non-managed programs installed, because there's a lot that Debian is unwilling to package, and such a system becomes unreliable, particularly when those system-managed packages diverge from their upstreams.

> Python libraries are hardly applications.

No, but in the Python ecosystem it's normal for new versions of an application to require relatively up-to-date versions of a large number of small libraries. So the applications end up out very out of date. I think there was a post here not so long ago from the Debian side about how it's increasingly unsustainable to try to include programs from ecosystems with a small-library mentality in Debian.

> Add-on repos are frowned upon in Debian.

And yet I've seen far more of them being made for Debian than for other distributions.
Maybe rediscovered.
I think Apple's gonna boil the frog on SIP and security in general, slowly restricting what you can disable until it's always on. Apple developers who are committed to the platform will be like Dilbert with the shock collar: "It's not so bad. We're still developing for the most powerful computing platform in the world. Apple needs to do this to protect their users and provide them with the best user experience possible."

Some perspective. Working alone means no second set of eyes to catch errors. No one to waste time BS’ing while ideas have time to percolate.

Working alone means that dumb mistakes happen, they are yours completely. Fixing them is also yours completely.

Working alone means there is no slack in the system. It’s as lean as it’s possible to be lean.

No matter how much time you spend on QA, it’s not independent QA. It’s done with your assumptions, biases, and blind spots. The same that are baked into the code.

Being professional is being cautious. Because you know all these things. You know them because you live them. You live them because there’s an inadequate budget for QA. There’s no being professional on the cheap. Good work takes time and money. Professional work takes professional budgets. Good luck.

And how do you that for a fact? It's nutrition science. It's not reliable. These numbers of how much we need has been changing for as long as I can remember.

>It seems much more likely that humans evolved to get their vitamin D from sunlight

Humans have lived in Northen Europe for at least 10,000 years. They didn't take any supplements and there no evidence that shows any vitamin D deficiency in those populations.
Thx I will check that.
Well, if you immediately overwrite the hard drive of the machine with some Linux variant (as I think the GP implie), I think it will solve a lot of problems like this from any manufacturer.
It may be a naive philosophy, but my choice of it is studied. If you're curious about the literature, check out discussion of Liebniz' view of free will.

I didn't agree that the cult member was not free in a binary sense, because I don't believe freedom is binary. The cult members are free to the extent they understand the causes of their choices, which presumably is very little. If you're looking for nuance, then let's avoid binary definitions. One isn't either free or not free. Even 2-state transistors are actually only 2-state by approximation.

Apple has only ever used portable to refer to their own platforms. Which is a bit of a stretch of the term considering what it means to the rest of the technical world, but there you have it. Per their own definition they have improved portability among their own platforms.
>But without easily accessible fossil fuels, it's much harder to envision the next civilization having an industrial revolution. They might indeed never rise to our level of technology again.

knowledge is the key. Even Ancient Greeks could have built a wind electricity generator if they knew how - ie. if they knew about copper wire and electrical charge movement in it. And you can collect sun light and focus it on a boiler while still being in Ancient Greeks situation - that gives you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile which can be used to generate electricity too. And they could have possibly have that too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_detector#Cat_whisker_d... - piece of crystal and a wire making a diode - and you can have primitive radio.

So, the newly built civilization bypassing fossil fuels would even be better :)

May I ask what linux you are using and how you got a Mac VM running? I tried myself and was able to get Catalina running on Ubuntu 20.04 using Openboot. But then Catalina updated itself and crashed after that. I wasn't able to reinstall MacOS successfully anymore, even starting from scratch.

If you could help me out by pointing out which products/technologies you used and maybe a website describing step by step, that would be great.

DRM in the movie industry is mainly targeted at device vendors instead of customers. They want control over the playback experience and have a say which features the playback devices offer to users. Something that allows recording parts or skipping of the ads? Not great! That's also why there is a Widevine device revocation database for playback devices, while I'm not aware of something like that existing for Denuvo.
> Hopefully Apple can find their way back.

It's not going to happen. Apple talks up privacy and security but the truth is they don't care about those things. What they care about is having a locked-down platform because locked-down platforms make Apple $hitloads more money than open general-purpose computers.

Let's take another example: Remember back before 9/11 and you didn't have to show an ID when you boarded a plane? The airlines hated that because it meant people could resell tickets when they changed their plans, and there was no way for the airlines to get a cut of that money. After 9/11, the Feds made the airlines ask for ID, which the airlines absolutely loved because it destroyed the secondary market for unused tickets. Of course they didn't frame it this way--the airlines said "they were happy to help enforce additional security measures"--even though you and I both know that asking for ID before boarding a plane is just another aspect of security theater.

Apple is doing the same thing. Locked-down platforms they justify with security theater are making Apple a lot of money. They have absolutely no incentive to change anything.

This seems like a weird accusation given that government VC arms like In-Q-Tel or institutions like DARPA invest heavily in Silicon Valley tech firms, not to mention that the national science foundation supported the development of pagerank itself[1]. One of Apple's first investors was the Small Business Investment Company, an investment arm of the federal government. The EU would be stupid to not support the development of an independent technology sector.

Scalability is not just runtime, it's also developer time scalability. The larger the project, the more you have to split it up and write interface documentation between libraries - which adds complexity.

As for processing scalability - Python is OK, but it's considerably hampered by BDFL's own opinions. The result is a few third party libraries that implement parallelism in their own way. That functionality should be integral to the standard library already. The worst part is lack of standard API for data sharing between processes.

> packaging

Python's packaging issues only start with package management. Setuptools is a wholly mess of a system, that literally gave me headaches for the lack of "expected features". I hate it with every single cell in my body.

And then there are systems and libraries, where you literally cannot use docker (Hello PySpark!).
