I realized that recently after Gmail locked my account for using email outreach software.

I restored it but automatically had to start thinking about a backup plan where I’d have to point my MX records away from Gmail to something else immediately in order to prevent email downtime.
Funny you say that, as the east/west Germany unification has been a disaster for the east side, and it still is today the poorer part of Germany. Before the unification, the east had a working economy, perhaps with problems, but every economy has problems.
But therefore you need perl, gnuplot and feedgnuplot, the latter isn't even available via package manager on my distro.
We are talking about a half-inch thick ultrabook with 18 hours of battery life here.

The idea is that this can do the same as what was historically in a thick and heavy gaming laptop that got 4 hours of battery life in use..is very impressive. It firmly destroys all SKUs of the 15 inch MBP
I only ever use "sign in with" for throaway stuff I don't care enough about to register an account - if it's in any way important I setup an account, and add whatever form of 2FA I can.
One of the sub-parts of the previous discussion covered what I too thought was the recommended method.

A temp file plus rename seems to be close but not fully enough.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be abstracted by a standard library so that whatever needs to be done is correctly done.
The multiple monitor thing is weird. The Mac Mini supports more than one, and the one display it DOES support is the Pro Display XDR, which has more pixels than two 4K monitors.
I suppose they ran it on High Sierra
Is this really a thing? To be honest, this sounds like something only Twitter would care about.
For safety concerns, you'd probably have to divide the route into air-locked sections with a pod per block. This gives you about one packet every 25 miles or so – and rather slow packet routing (more like RFC 1149 – https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149 )
I'm sure there are subtle bugs, but it seems to work in a simple case:

SetAttributes[Have, HoldAll];

CompoundExpression[x, With[{s}, CompoundExpression[y]]];

In[698]:= (Have[x = 2];
Print[x];
Have[y = 3];
Print[y];
x + y)

During evaluation of In[698]:= 2

Probably an optical illusion? I don't think a plane can hover over a fixed point, unless the headwinds are strong hurricane force or something.

With very strong headwind, a normal plane could theoretically land vertically, or even backwards. I wouldn't recommend it though.

A brief history of black names, from Perlie to Latasha
I think Ireland is champion of euphemistically naming things to greatly play them down. We referred to WW2 (you know that little conflict that killed like 70 million people) as "The Emergency" while we still call the conflict in Northern Ireland as "The Troubles".
To add to this: Never use a @gmail.com address, buy your own domain and pay the $6/mo to get a Google GSuite with your name@fullname.com address instead. If Google locks your account, you can now move your email hosting to another provider and won't lose access to your entire digital world.

Be aware that doing this now means your DNS provider and domain registrar become vectors for hackers to take over your email account, so make sure these are companies your trust and your access to these accounts is as secure as possible (ie strong unique passwords and app-based, not SMS-based two-factor authentication)
Sounds like my parents when I was growing up: "everything is an argument".

Or in my own house, now that I have kids of my own: "everything is sticky".

But (a little) more back on topic, I find a lot of open source software to be: "everything is a missing dependency hunt".

Some days, C++ feels like: "everything is undefined behavior".

wrt that, what do you think about Solid from Tim Berners-Lee? (solidproject.org)
Yes. That's sadly true.

It's difficult to change minds and it takes a lot of persistence. Since I also was very strongly anti-nuclear until the late 2010s, I have some idea on how to approach people in this regard, but it . takes . time.

They are not completely independent, the pack has to understand cell technology. That's like saying to develop a good cluster you have to understand nothing about individual servers.

And Tesla actually has new cell technology and new pack technology that has nothing to do with Panasonic.
If you care about the exact underlying memory layout such high-level types are way too blackbox-y. I doubt that historically this specific feature was responsible for any "static typing hate" (because languages with such high-level type systems were quite obscure 10 or 20 years ago). I have the impression that this hate was specifically a web-dev thing because many Javascript developers never experienced what it's like to work with a statically typed language until Dart and Typescript showed up (and then it suddenly was the best thing since sliced bread).

Yup, whereas the CPU in the SoC is roughly a little better in multicore than a desktop Ryzen 3600X and single core plays way at the top of the Zen 3 line.
I recently got a 'Build Your Own' Precision 7750. After-market RAM and SSDs were far cheaper than Dell's offering.

I'm a bit gutted though, no Ryzen CPUs were offered and considering how much I spent I won't be buying another laptop for at least 10 years.
Yeah but they’ve still got your emails.

For that you have this:

You can export all your email in a single .mbox file.

This might not work if your account is suspended, but if you set up email forwarding to an alternative address (e.g. to protonmail) that might still stay active so you can transition your addresses.
Use a third-party client that grabs the emails locally.
The truth is you should not use Google login to Google services either. You get the service promise you pay for, none. If their secret algorithms decide that you are in breach of whatever ToS, they will lock you out. Not very likely for the average user. But more likely for HN reader who might experiment with programmatic access to the services or do other atypical stuff.

Google is using Widevine to control the browser market. Can't make a competitive browser without their permission. That is the purpose of DRM, and it works.
I assure you, the CCP cares very deeply about keeping China's economy stable. Moreso than the typical congresscritter, if the past few months is anything to go by.

The worst thing that could happen to the CCP, should they royally muck up, is that their top brass might lose their jobs, wealth, and maybe even lives, if they let things get bad enough - because their system has few other safety valves.

Yeah. Reddit is especially really intrusive and annoying. I feel like they just don't want people to use their site anymore. Whenever I open new Reddit, my memory and CPU usage goes up so badly.
Isn't that obvious? Convenience always hat some kind of price tag, particularly a security related one.

I would have canceled my facebook account long ago if I had not chosen their login for a (unknown) number of service.

What would be a better alternative?
Use same credentials everywhere? No, because it is just a matter of time it would leak out of one service.
Use unique credentials for each service in local password manager? Nay, because most of us at least want to sync between desktop an mobile.
Use something like Chrome's password manager? That bears similar dangers like those the article points out.

I pay for gsuite for myself and a couple of my domains. Call it $12/month, because you'll want to setup two accounts:

* The admin-user.

* The daily/real-user.

In my case I have my real account "steve@steve..", and "admin@steve" which is the gsuite administrator. I only login to make changes to the domain setup, never to send/receive email.

It's annoying to have to pay for that second user, but I feel happier with the privilege separation in place.

I kinda agree with your point about CaaS, but the notes about "rich-daddy" types are just mean for no reason. They have no merit in reality.
You don't need gsuite to both send/receive from a custom domain on gmail.

Takes a few minutes extra messing around with settings I guess but they offer the service for free, I can guarantee this.

I hope they ban people sending bulk email too... You should send that stuff from your own server or MailChimp etc.

The RAM limit is a bit concerning in the long term. Apart from that, there are some pains right now with some tools (Docker doesn't work yet) that will be resolved soon. It still runs macOS software for x86 too, so that'll help with the transition. When available, I'll get a maxed out 32 or 64GB one myself.

On the Linux side, my advice is to avoid the "fancy" ones that don't explicitly support Linux. Avoid dGPUs if you can and stick to Intel graphics. Beware some machines are coming out with soldered RAM, mostly in the ultrathin category.
If they had built their own comment section with Google login, that would be weird indeed. But if you just like Disqus comments (they certainly were hot when I actively blogged in 2012) and one of their login options is Google... I don't see the issue there unless they're really pushing you to use it.
Bankrupt the health care system, where? In the States it is covered by insurance (or bankrupts uncovered people), and all other countries have different configurations for health care, some from non existant universal coverage, to full coverage. I can only imagine a poor country with full universal coverage having a risk of bankruptcy due to one axis of disease along these lines (diabetes).
'Breakthrough finding' reveals why certain COVID-19 patients die
We went through a process of changing email domains recently and we use Google Sign In for many of our services. Switching emails over varied greatly between services. Sometimes it all just worked and my new email would sign in to my account and my email address on the service was updated automatically. Some allowed me to sign in fine, but I had to contact them directly to update the email address. A number of times I ended up having to go through recovery processes.

I guess at least if you’re using your own domain, you’d be able to repoint mx records to do the recovery.

I tend not to use it for my personal accounts, but honestly, Google Sign In for our work systems has generally been a good experience. Works well for our small team, anyway.
Why not me@steve, iam@steve, thisis@steve, thereal@steve or any of the other variants?
They do now (although you only have 7 days to do so I think).

It also depends on the reason for the block - if for example they suspect you of having illegal content (child porn) in your Gmail, you aren't allowed to takeout it.
Isnt the point of the article that these file systems are trying to implement something like this, with journals and write logs, and such as implementation details, but these have failure modes and bugs that mean these mechanisms can still give unexpected results. Its like saying, well software just shouldnt have bugs or be vulnerable to side effects.

Of course it is possible to mitigate these issues more than most file systems do, but at the cost of reduced space or performance efficiency. Thats what using a further abstraction like SQLite buys you, but its not for free. Thats why all the FS as database efforts in the early 2000s like Longhorn failed.
It’s ok to give advice and choice.
This decision was made probably at least 3 years ago before the full extent of Intel's problems were clear.

So why make this move? It's a long list.

- Greater confidence in TSMC vs Intel to deliver process improvements

- Leverage in house silicon design expertise

- Leverage Apple's collaboration with TSMC

- More modern CPU architecture

- Single architecture across all products (so can run iPhone apps on Mac)

- Ability to incorporate Apple's own IP (e.g. neural engine) in SoC

- Cost savings

- Full control of the hardware design

I've not mentioned performance as this follows from the other factors.

Only one of these benefits would be delivered by moving to AMD.

So some short term transition pain but I think this would be pretty compelling from Apple's perspective when the decision was made.

I use BitWarden and it works pretty well on all my iOS devices and across major browsers.
In the 90s there was lots of work on storing data in 3d holograms, by using photorefractive materials. That works by interfering a reference wave and an image wave (which contains the information in bit form for example) to create 2d maps and the multiple amps through translation. You can read out the information using a reference wave only. IBM was one of the big research labs in this space.

They achieved some impressive bit densities for the time. There were even some prototypes. However, the rapid increase of drive storage densities and the alignment issues of these systems, (together with the lack of good error correction codes I suspect), meant all this was shelved eventually.

There is now quite a bit of research on using laser writing for storage (Microsoft research is working on this for example). However largely in 2d (3d is difficult because you want 2d read outs for speed and the other layers distort your image), I think they are also thinking about spinning disc type devices, so CD 2.0.

> Historians look at past people and situations through today's lenses and bringing up what resonates with todays problems and dilemas.

Historian here. This is bias is among the first things you learn to discern as an undergraduate. Historical research never starts from a premise "We can observe X in current events, is it possible to find similar events and patterns in the past?" Why? Because the trap here is to apply modern concepts, schools of thoughts and ideas in a past context where they absolutely did not exist.

> Also the human nature isn't changeable so political and social and personal dilemas of ancient Athens, Rome or China can resonate with us.

The resonate with us because the past can inspire us and helps us reflect on human nature. But that's about all it does. Transposing societal structures, ideas, thinking and so on from Ancient Rome to the current day is a fallacy because it denies the 2.000 years of history and evolving societal, cultural, religious, economical, political thinking that happened in between.

Another fallacy is in this way of thinking is that history is teleological and ends with today being the end of human evolution and history; that today is the only logical outcome of everything that led up to today. Determinism really doesn't work well when you want to narrate and explain history.

It's also the reason why I'm skeptical of Yuval Harari's work. His re-telling of human history is thought provoking and prompts for reflection and debate. But in no way does it mean that his take on history is the definitive story.

> all enterprises competing on the market would be co-ops, where workers democratically decide how the company is run and get to share the profits (and losses), instead of getting a pre-determined (sometimes negotiated) wage.

The problem with co-ops, partnerships and the like as a firm structure is that (1) they can't easily provide access to outside capital. Maybe they can issue debt, but that comes with a lot of drawbacks wrt. equity investment. (2) most workers have their job as their main source of income, so they don't actually want to incur the excess risk that's inherent in "sharing in the profit (and losses!) of their firm" because that literally means putting all your eggs in one basket. Outside investors can incur that risk more easily, whether by diversifying it away or by investing only part of their assets in a risky endeavor.

"All enterprises as co-ops" is a nice idea but doesn't actually work in the real world. Co-ops and partnerships are totally fine for very low capital intensity businesses like law firms, but quite unsuitable elsewhere.
Yeah, but only focusing on the largest of megaprojects, and even that failed horribly after some time. Products for the normal people were of horrendous quality and mostly no innovation happened.

No, you just write structures into glass. I think you could write fresnel lenses, but I suspect performance would not be great. If you want flat lenses you should look at what is being done with metasurfaces.
> Types are not your enemy, they surface issues early.

Not only that, but they document the code.

When working with a new framework or library in Python or JavaScript I never know what I can do, I have to look at the documentation constantly.

Not seldom I'm still left scratching my head or doing stuff like "print(dir(result))" to figure out what I can do with whatever that function returned.

With a static typed language I can see what type the function expects and what it returns. If I don't know a type I can discover what it can do in a few clicks in my IDE.
We first write the OpenAPI spec in collaboration with non-developer stakeholders (product managers or whatever).

Then we write the code to implement the spec. (We tried using code generators for this step, but quickly dropped them. If your language and web frameworks are sufficiently concise, adapting the generated code to your needs is likely to be more work than just writing from scratch.)

Then we enable an automatic tool to automatically generate an OpenAPI spec from the code. We can then compare it to the original spec to quickly see if we missed something. It's not an automated diff, but it still saves a _ton_ of time.

Finally, we use code generators for the client code. Those actually work pretty well, unlike server-side code generators, probably because there's little room for customisation in making HTTP requests.

Bad historians, write works showing past events through the new lenses of current cultural/political affairs. Good historians reveal ancient perspectives, their differences to ours, so that the supposition of two different perspectives with their similarities and differences is what we can reflect and learn from.
