Great -- if you reach out to support@stripe.com with "billing pricing extension" in the subject, it'll go to the right folks.
You need a way to sync them on multiple computers, use them as a guest (eg when you've borrowed a machine temporarily), do recovery flows, manage their regeneration and rotation, generate unique certs per site, basically all the management hurts. As a web site, you also have to teach everyone in the world how they work, and who wants to be the first to do that?

One day WebAuthn might be usable for all the things. I want that to come soon but it is not here yet.
I think the problem is that almost all the software you buy a mac for (or even things that mac users like) has this built in but calls to the developer's servers instead.

Consumer and commercial software is just all bad.

Some people hate bookmarks. When you want to read something later you just keep that tab open until you have time to go back. I usually have 200-300 tabs open at any given time. Works great.

It's outrageous that Apple designed their system this way. (And it's curious why they seem to have so many fans on Hacker News that will defend this type of design.)

Your Mac hardware is a brick if Apple's servers aren't running!
Yep. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25076068 for how to get in touch.

Let me try to explain another way. Lets say your brain had 10 neurons... Well, then you certainly could understand it. What if it had 1000? Sure... You could probably handle that. Ok, but the human brain has 100 billion neurons. Where are you storing that knowledge?

The good news is that there is a lot of evidence that computation in the brain is more modular than that... It's not necessary to understand each neuron... Just like it's not necessary to understand each artificial neuron in a large nueral network.
Yeah, I had this issue on a Hackintosh.
It may not wipe out human life, but it will severely disrupt the natural processes of human beings for a while, especially those who remain close to the nuclear zone.
Are you just saying "Gmail has an API, and it is possible to authorize apps to access your Gmail via the API", which will be listed (along with every other app with access to your Google Account in any way) in your account permissions page @ https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

Or something else?
True, that's an option; but there's been nothing in new releases that justifies going through the effort (for my own n=1, anyway). It's not that the new releases are awful; they're just a hassle that fail a cost-benefit analysis.
Raises are nearly always percentage-based, and bonuses are often percentage-based as well so it might be enlightening to do the math of a person who starts at $45,000 vs $50,000, simulate a 3-5% raise every year, simulate a 5% bonus every 5 years, and a 10% raise every 4-6 years (ie a promotion)

How to Fix macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur Software Update Error
actually I think the problem is not that it is not available, heck /etc/hosts fixes wouldn't work than. it's that it is unresponsive as hell, and they have no system wide circuit breaker, if it is slow.
We had success with very large customers (enterprise) and also some success with finance company (looking for 0 data loss). The idea is that we can give the kafka API compat system with 10x lower tail latencies for free and still monetize the high end of the market.

I think there is a big shift when you have a single binary. i.e.: no one really complains from running ngix, etc because it's easy to get up and running.

so the gist we wanted to let everyone use it and reserve the right to be the only hosted redpanda provider.
Linux runs perfectly fine on most laptops nowadays - pick whatever you like.

I wrote the original Wikipedia article, for which I received the Oddball Barnstar.
While Docker support will surely come, this thread does give me the feeling that Docker on Apple Silicon Macs will take at least several more months still to be released.

I would have expected Apple to be far more proactive in working with Docker, Inc., especially considering they namedropped Docker specifically at the WWDC Apple Silicon announcement. Apple has supplied virtualization capable hardware to certain developers - Parallels certainly - so it's strange to see that Docker seems to have had to sit on their hands until now? I certainly would have expected a Docker release a lot closer to hardware availability.

The fact that a stable golang for Apple Silicon likely won't be out until February is not a great look either. That blocks Docker but a lot of other things also.

I mean, you should expect a lot of startup issues when moving to a new ISA, but it seems Apple could have done a lot more here.
The Covid-19 paradox, "lockdowns were instituted in most places before recorded deaths got really high". I'd assume that those deaths couldn't have been lockdown deaths since, you know, no lockdown yet.

But after lockdowns were instituted, deaths levels became stable or decreased, despite your claim that the lockdown deaths were the actual cause of the catastrophe.

Schroedinger's Covid-19 :-)
I was not aware of object capabilities -- TIL.

That said, looking at the (apparently) leading implementation, capsicum

> Capsicum also introduces capability mode, which disables (with ECAPMODE) all syscalls that access any kind of global namespace; this is mostly (but not completely) implemented in userspace as a seccomp-bpf filter.

So I do feel that bpf ultimately enables building the kinds of abstractions that people want.
Bird-from-dinosaur theory of evolution challenged: Was it the other way around?
I agree that Zen4 should be comparable, but it also will cost 4X to make, and more to implement since it doesn’t include RAM.

The M1 is a system on a chip, with all the benefits and drawbacks of that including RAM and port limits.

The next releases will likely be
A) a tweaked M1 for higher end PowerBooks with more RAM and ports and
B) a desktop version with plenty of ports, significantly higher clock speeds, and off chip RAM.

I think there will always be faster CPUs out there, but not remotely near the M series in power per watt, and cost per power.
Sounds about right. What would you expect from a walled garden ecosystem?
Do you have a m1 mac?? I thought they weren’t out yet, but you are talking like you are already running iOS apps on your m1??
It is strange how many people will sacrifice so much for free speech and the right to bear arms (like tolerating school shootings and foreign interference in elections), but offer them the "freedom OS" and they'll pick the slightly better trackpad.

I heard that's also the server that Apple uses for SSL cert validation, so you're going to want it again.
To elaborate on what others are saying, macOS has been doing this phone home for a while, it just looks like the server it phones home to started being _really slow_. So if you were offline, the software behaves fine, but if you're online, it blocks on getting a response.

Great example of how you should never block UX on network requests.

Walled-garden strategy at the core of Apple's business.
I think you misunderstand that some people treat tabs as bookmarks. Let's be honest - bookmark management is tedious in all browsers, so I would rather have tabs open with stuff that I want to browse later.
well it is more insane because if you have an elevated exe that can span other exe which would trigger smartscreen the elevated exe can actually put a smartscreen filter in it.
I mean what is the point in smartscreening an exe that gets spawned from an elevated exe?!
Apple, for some reason, didn't advertise this change very widely, so it isn't precisely an informed decision.

Like so much of the modern security activity, it doesn't seem to be fully thought out, nor was the possibility of failure considered.

Or maybe such failures were considered and then dismissed? I don't know.

Terminal kanban board written in bash
Check out the EU (and UK). Open the app on your phone. Tap in a bank ID (routing number) and an account number and an amount. In less than 1 second, the money is transferred to the specified account.

Neither you (the sender) nor the recipient pay anything for this service.

You may have noticed that banks/financial services companies make bucketloads of cash. Why should the cost of running the system always be pushed back to consumers? The EU/UK example points to a different direction entirely.
> you're absolutely correct. its only against the tos to create another account if any of yours have been banned. Having multiple accounts is allowed for work/private purposes.

Huh. What happens if you already have multiple accounts, and one of them gets banned?
also i'd note one more thing which is the WASM API is going to give us an opportunity to add more enterprise value.

i.e.: think GDPR compliance as long as your data streams are in JSON or some predefined format.

WASM basically allows us to push computational guarantees to the storage engine itself without a separate cluster.
Agree. The beauty/power of the browser is to create a layer over the OS (Windows/Mac/Android) so that you don't need to care much about the OS.
I think the evidence shows that "fast" software is not actually desired by the majority of companies, otherwise they would put more emphasis on using compiled languages, optimisation and reducing technical debt. Sure, everybody will take a speed improvement if it's free but most companies will go for predictable, maintainable and error free software over speed every time.
Related point maybe worth bringing up, imagine if Windows had complete control over the distribution of videogames when the industry was in its infancy? Would we ever have gotten some of the more controversial games at the time that have become genre defining like Doom or Wolfenstein? And would we be better off if all game studios would have to pay 30% to Microsoft?

It's ridiculous. We grew up with the (relative, before someone starts a gnu/linux rant) freedom to install on our PCs what we wanted, why do kids today not deserve the same thing?
That's a bad-faith reading of what I said. I've edited it to be extra unambiguous.
So... An easy fix would be to disconnect internet and then your MacBook "just works".

I have no problem with checking binaries when I launch them for security. I imagine many of the virus checking apps for windows probably call home with similar information. I doubt very much I’m leaky in any personal information.

What is frustrating is they didn’t handle this situation like they do if I’m offline - don’t get a ping back in less than 500ms or whatever? Go ahead and open anyway. would have solved this eventuality
This has been happening for a long time. Hardware and software that you can't control is becoming normalized. If they had done this 10 years ago with the same customers, those customers would be shocked or weirded out but right now, many of them will just wait it out or change their host.

Don't limit freedom at once. Do it one by one so the impact seems low.

What are the chances that any of the big tech companies take orders from a fascist to block all the harmful software in their country?

What about the hash of a password cracking binary or the hash of some sort of binary used for piracy or stripping DRM off of something? Or just in general the ability to profile users based on the apps they use seems completely trivial. I imagine it would not take a particularly brilliant data scientist to correlate people who use FTP programs or developer programs or whatever else with people who buy high value items from certain e-commerce sites, for example. Seems like a marketer’s dream if they could ever get access to that. And sure Apple wouldn’t do that, today, on purpose, but are you 100% certain that could never happen? And if there was some way to tie that illegal piracy app binary hash to you personally and the government came knocking with a subpoena, seems like something Apple might be forced to comply with. It’s a very slippery slope.

If the early story around performance of the M1 bears out, I suspect this won't be the case. If their CPU for the base MacBook Air trouncing higher end MacBook Pros, what kind of a beast will their higher end CPUs going to be?

People who really need x86 compatibility will stick with x86 based Macs. Others? I'm not sure. For my current job where everything runs on node.js, the performance and battery life on the new CPU is pretty appealing.

System 76 makes a nice looking thin/light 14" laptop (Lemur pro).

Dell's XPS 13 line has Linux support (the Dev Edition comes with Ubuntu), I bought one of these and it's great. Only big problem was thermald/RAPL would keep the SOC at 15W after a very short 'boost' - updating to master fixed this problem... but Linux still requires 'tweaking'.

Another example: sleep on the XPS is not S3, but S2Idle - so it uses extra power when sleeping (A compromise so it wakes up faster). This can be fixed with some tweaking, if desired.

I've also heard good things about Lenovo laptops running Linux.

I'd check the archwiki (even if you don't want to run arch) for any laptop you're considering. There's good advice in the articles.

If I had to buy again, I'd look closer at what S76 offers. I really liked my old Chromebook Pixel 1 because of its open firmware (after I re-flashed) and excellent Linux support. I wish I had looked closer at S76, honestly.
Although the open source software is copying this "always connected to the mothership" model as well.

This is one of the reasons that many Lisp developers like Lisp code - local structured editing is trivial because if the braces match, then most of the parser doesn't need to deal with the rest of the file.
You can have a USD bank account, but Stripe won't pay out to it, they'll only pay out to an AUD account and take the 2% along the way.
The arrogance required to actually implement this. It's staggering.
So you're okay with it because at the moment you personally (or at least some vague idea of the "average user") don't have any "interesting" apps on your traditional computer? You should step back and understand why this is the wrong way to look at it.

Take a look at the macOS App Store medical section. Doing a quick scan of the top apps there is one app to help with some diabetes pump, one for a personal ECG machine, one that says it's a "mobile lactation consultant". Those can reveal a lot about a person that they might want to keep private. Searching "therapy" or "dating" also shows many results that people might want to keep private.

My browser is configured to not restore tabs. And I shutdown every night.
There's some confounding issues that are often confused together tho.

large python code bases _could_ be written with well modularized, clean separation of concerns and composability. Or it could be written in spaghetti.

Using types _could_ help a code base from becoming spaghetti, but it's not the only way. I think the understandability and maintainability of a code base has more to do with the person writing it than the availability of a type system tbh.
Aren't Dell XPS laptops considered pretty good for Linux?

Do you have any proof this is happening?

This is Apple we are talking about, which has the strongest privacy commitment of any device maker, and no advertising business outside of the App Store. Linking IP addresses to app certificate requests provides them zero benefit and exposes them to substantial brand damage.

I wonder how many confounding factors there are though. At one point when I had just joined a companyy, a colleague in the process of leaving told me very confidently "at our scale it is not possible to do X anymore". Obviously, we got X working the very next week.

What if using language Y for X was a disaster because of poor programming skills or micromanagers? In my experience it is very rarely as clear cut as "Y does not have hardware acceleration support" and there is not really enough rigour in the software engineering process to really figure out where a failure came from.
Remember how everyone was so insistent on certificates everywhere? We must have them, no matter what you think, no matter how trivial the transmission of information.

As it turns out, there are some downsides.
I’ve always used safari. I have had no incentive to use another browser.
I use and love Linux, but come on man, that kind of statement does not help. Even with proton and friends, wine is not perfect. There will most likely be problems, and it's not a one to one transition. However, in my opinion, it is worth it, but there's no sense pretending there is no cost.
> Yes, Poetry should be the blessed package manager.

Last time I tried to use poetry (and this is why it was the last time I tried to use poetry), it ignored global pip settings and had no documented mechanism for its own settings (I believe poetry uses its own implementation of or captive install of pip) which made it completely unusable in a corporate environment with annoying SSL interception issues to work around where pip + venv worked.

Poetry is a much smoother experience when it works, though.
It is certainly not a driver's license, this makes as much sense as asking Hamilton or Vittel to do a driving test before giving them a job as a driver.

That said, I would not be surprised this would happen at Google as they truly believe their process is vastly superior, as they believe themselves.

Pretty sure they would ask Linus to to a C programming test as well, and score him badly because he can't remember the exact details of some algorithm he has not used since he wrote the first lines of Linux.
