If you go to the MacBook Pro 13" page (https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/) and click on "See how M1 redefines speed" there are some more numbers for specific use cases (Xcode project build, Final Cut Pro ProRes transcode, etc). The footnotes for these numbers say the tests were done with the maxed-out previous-generation 2-port MacBook Pro:

> Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, as well as production 1.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems, all configured with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD.

I think it's a fair comparison, since the new M1 MacBook Pro 13" is a 2-port model that replaces the existing 2-port models, while Apple still sells Intel 4-port models.

Similar situation on the MacBook Air page. The tests are done with the maxed-out previous-generation MacBook Air:

> Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction MacBook Air systems with Apple M1 chip and 8-core GPU, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems, all configured with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD.

I'm seeing notifications as a feature fail on my android phone too. Apparently there is simply no reliable way to get a notification at a particular time (e.g from a todo app) anymore. ON A PHONE. THE THING DESIGNED TO BEEP/RING/NOTIFY YOU OF THINGS.

It's somewhat common to install a graphical environment on server machines, particularly if they need to run certain (Oracle) enterprise software, for which GUI tools are either the only option, or by far the most expected and documented solution. Of course in theory you could install the bare minimum to run the utility using X-forwarding, in practice anyone doing this usually installs a full environment because it's much simpler to manage.

Plus, there are a few admins out there who simply prefer to use VNC over a straight terminal. I'm not here to judge; while this is uncommon, it's certainly not unheard of. Personally I would rather not have that much attack surface on my servers, but there are a few legitimate use cases here and there.

> this means the compiler can't infer the type for a function argument event though I pass it an `int` later in the file.

That's demonstrably untrue by the simplest of code snippets.

let f x = ()
f 12

Here, 'f' is generic becuase 'x' isn't used in a way that would constrain it in any way.

let inline f x = x + 1
f 12

Here, 'f' is constrained to be generic over any type that defines how '+' works for it.

let f x = x + 1
f 12

Here, 'f' is constrained to be 'int' because that's what's passed in and assumed as the type given that it's not marked as 'inline'.

The article you link to is referring to type inference for .NET Object types, because member lookup is not used as a means to inform how type constraints are solved.

When any primitive or any F# type (records, unions, anonymous records, etc.) is passed in the lookup is not indeterminate.
The LG grams go out of their way to be lightweight and they prioritize it above just about everything else. What you get is a magnesium alloy (?) chassis that feels very flimsy, a screen that flexes a LOT, and a battery that is far smaller than the chassis can support [1] to meet their weight goals.

Apple isn't really hellbent on making the lightest laptop and don't really have the luxury of creating SKUs just for these niche needs.

I moved more than 8000km to be in silicon valley. nothing happened. I spent time in coupa cafe. nothing happened. we had a profitable startup and we didn't raise money. looking back we should have put the money into the company instead of moving thinking we can raise money by being "local". but that is what literally everyone sold to us. IMHO silicon valley invests in an extremely specific type of company and 99% of investors simply don't understand anything about all the different industries out there and how they make money. sorry to give it to you straight up but that's the truth. there are crazy talented people anywhere else in the world, it's just that silicon valley is extremely good at marketing itself.

If you have experience with contact cards, then it's all the same as far as end applications are concerned, it's abstracted away.

> is gnupg aware of contactless readers and will it e.g. ask for your PIN without the card being present and then prompt you to tap the card?

No, it will behave as if there's no card/ring if you don't have it around the reader. Software polish is a weak point, e.g things like `ssh-add -s /usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so` can be used to 'cache' the PIN for a session as far as `ssh -A` connection is concerned, but that's not exactly the height of usability.
Think of a circular library with a central atrium and bookshelves arranged in circles radiating out from the atrium. In the middle of the atrium you have your circular desk. You can put books on your desk to save yourself the trouble of having to go get them off the shelves. You can also move books to shelves that are closer to the atrium so they're quicker to get than the ones farther away.

So what's the problem? Well, your desk is the fastest place you can get books from but you clearly can't make your desk the size of the entire library, as that would defeat the purpose. You also can't move all of the books to the innermost ring of shelves, since they won't fit. The closer you are to the central atrium, the smaller the bookshelves. Conversely, the farther away, the larger the bookshelves.

Circuits don't follow this ideal model of concentric rings, but I think it's a nice rough approximation for what's happening here. It's a problem of geometry, not a problem of physics, and so the limitation is even more fundamental than the laws of physics. You could improve things by going to 3 dimensions, but then you would have to think about how to navigate a spherical library, and so the analogy gets stretched a bit.
I actually have gone out of my way to, and have mostly successfully avoided that situations, and have gone out of my way to point out to schools the damage they are doing.

However, not everyone has that option, is willing to take that option, or understands the ramifications of not taking that option.

I hate the current system. I also understand why people choose to follow it.

No, not if the hypothesis of the article is correct: They have lower social trust & cooperation metrics, and are disinclined to answer any polls. As for why it started with Trump, there could be a few reasons, all speculation on my part: He may be attracting people who didn't vote much before, and these new voters are the sorts of people who have lower trust etc., and so don't answer polls. Personally though, I think it might be more that President Trump's messaging fosters & encourages a certain amount of distrust: Fake News, anything negative about him are lies, deep state conspiracies, other views aren't just disagreements but bad/treason/sedition, etc. If distrustful people don't answer polls, and President Trump has made his followers more distrustful, then his followers are now less likely to answer polls. Just a hypothesis though.

I'm more concerned about how long it will take for most apps to have full support for both macOS Catalina and Apple Silicon. When the 2012 retina MacBooks came out, quite a few apps were awkwardly pixelated for a long, long time.

One of the technical problems with directory mappings in snaps is that a directory has to exist in order for you to mount to it, and snaps use a read-only filesystem so can't mount to a directory not already pre-created in snaps. However you can connect /home and /media if you connect the relevant permission (but not /root).

It is definitely a source of general frustration, and I think largely because people are still often using it for CLI tools rather than GUI tools which can make use of portals to grant file access permission and/or use an arbitrary path more easily - which is how it works so seamlessly on macOS [and is supported by flatpak/snap for GTK3 at least].

(Disclaimer: I work at Canonical/Ubuntu in the Support organisation. But not directly with/on snaps, this is a user perspective.)
But this is part of the problem for Dems: it's perception of truth, not truth, that matters for the undecided voter. So even though a few miles from me it's the Aryan Cowboys and Boogaloo Bois who are being prosecuted for property damage, it's the antifa that people in rural Oregon and Oklahoma are afraid of. They're also very afraid of "white slavery" (yes, I'm using the wording of the 1880s and 1910s [1] because it's the same tropes gussied up for today) -- they're afraid that some foreigner will come snatch their beautiful innocent daughter from Walmart; the reality is of course that their daughter's more likely to start doing meth. And of course there is abortion, too; it's wildly more likely that a Republican woman will need a procedure that will be forbidden under various proposed antiabortion laws than that a woman will have an abortion of a healthy baby in the 9th month, but the second scenario drives Republicans while the first is a fact to be swept under the rug ("it's different").

Dems don't speak to the feelings in the way that modern Republicans do. Dems think that because something is unlikely or illogical, they don't have to spend a lot of time talking about it; Republicans realize those are the best things to spend all your press time on, because then there can be no metrics to look bad on. Republicans know much better how to tap into the fear of the white electorate in particular, and then add the carrot that once the temporarily embarrassed millionaire is restored to riches, there'll be no taxes ;)

Just looking out for you bro.
Ahh, interesting. I suppose then testing when it’s possible to insert/remove a contact card without disruption would give me a good idea of what to expect from a contactless card.

Thanks for the info!

EDIT: It seems like requesting a decryption, removing/inserting a Yubikey while the pinentry screen is up, then entering the PIN does not work. I suppose I've broken the session then. So I'm guessing to use a ring form-factor card, I'd have to keep the ring above the reader during the whole operation, which means I'd have to remove it to place on the reader and can't just keep it on/tap when needed.

Hm. That's a bit unfortunate.

(Also possible the Yubikey behaves differently as it's both reader and card in one... I don't have a dedicated reader set up to test with at the moment.)

EDIT 2: For anyone who comes across this later: no, a dedicated reader behaves the same way; once the pinentry prompt is open, you can't remove the card and reinsert without invalidating that request.
Constructor-defined properties of records are implemented using auto-implemented properties with the new init keyword, so:

public int MyProp { get; init; }

instead of

public int MyProp { get; set; }

Apparently those are implemented using readonly backing fields while still retaining property setters.
Gotcha, this is the first real information I've been able to find. Thanks!
It was a pretty well known incident when it happened. This was back in the Kazaa days (p2p file sharing). He clipped the whole thing together and made it like one of those old mastercard commercials. The file was called "master card revenge." He's in the video himself and it's clear he made it because it was an explicit fuck you to her. He even put her email address and physical college address in it. I'm not sure what came of the incident. This was about 15 years ago.

Kind of like telling women that they shouldn’t venture out at night? For their own safety.

Or to give another example, the recent arguments made that people shouldn’t publish cartoons that Muslims find offensive, for their own safety.

In all three cases telling people that they shouldn’t exercise their rights “for their own benefit” is seen as highly offensive.

Intel tried this more than a decade ago. The designs were as horrible as you might imagine, and a few OEMs did come out with a handful of models and parts.

As I recall, consumers didn’t care or wouldn’t live with the awful designs that they initially brought out. I don’t remember. I remember thinking I wouldn’t touch one after seeing a bunch of engineering samples.

You're talking about someone showing up at the polls to commit voter fraud in person, when the contention here is primarily about mail-in ballots.

If someone has access to the voter rolls from the previous election, how do you detect if they've submitted mail-in ballots for people who were registered but didn't vote last time, on the theory that most of them still won't? Or who registers new people without their request and then submits ballots in their names? That entire process would be taking place outside of the polling location.

The mini still does support 64GB of RAM.

They’re still selling the intel mini which supports up to 64GB, so that option has not been taken off the table if you need the RAM. This is just an additional option with a different trade off. Faster RAM but less of it.
Left 30 years ago. Sold my old farmhouse near downtown San Jose (12th St), and bought a farm in Iowa with the proceeds. Never looked back.

And never could have gone back. After getting off the land-price escalator, there was soon nothing I could hope to buy at anything like what I sold for.

Anyway I never wanted to. I raised a family here on 80 acres of land in a new 2300 sq ft house I built in a cornfield, 15 minutes from a university town. Boys grew up hiking, biking, doing projects in the shop. Taking lessons from PhDs and doctors. Metalworking classes from Amish blacksmiths. Music lessons from well known performers and teachers.

There's a whole world of interesting places and landscapes out there. Plenty of towns large enough to support whatever interests and entertainments you want. And all at a fraction of the cost, fiscal and emotional.
Having used it some, and watched others use it more, I'm struck by the commonality that the most steadfast adherents of the language confuse typing with productivity; "The code flies from my fingers!"

Well, sure, but the code I don't need to write in the first place because of well used and vetted libraries, or higher level abstractions, is pretty cool too. It just isn't as keyboard clackyclacky.

You cannot make an AJAX call from an HTTPS site to a HTTP site on a local IP address.

One of the internal web applications I develop (which is hosted over HTTPS itself) has to workaround this by doing the connection from the browser to the local IP address over HTTPS, but upon detecting HTTPS cert errors it opens a popup and walks the user through the process of adding an exception to connect anyways. Once that popup closes, then the AJAX request gets retried and succeeds.

While this works for an internal application, it would be unacceptable for any consumer product.
Whomever's downvoting both of us should chill, first off.

Second off.. I mean Biden's basically center-right, and he does nothing for any of the values most loudly espoused by the democratic base. He'd have been fired from a FAANG company for the "You're not black" comment, but everyone just agreed to pretend it didn't happen instead because we were stuck with him at that point.

So you can't say it's about values instead of winning. The thing is, our values would win. 60-70% of the country supports medicare for all, most people would support a more redistributive tax code, most people don't like the idea of cops shooting their kid, it goes on and on. But the democratic professional class refuses to run on those values, again and again.

Do you ever see the Republicans telling the pro-life people to eat shit the way the Democrats consistently tell progressives? No, they make a deal that they'll fight for it, probably lose, but at least they'll fight, and they get votes for it.

And the coup de grace is that anyone who questions the democrats' commitment must not really be on our side. Probably a closet racist. It's really kind of genius if your goal is to maintain control of the party.
