Yeah I’m hoping it’s just a case of them not having the specs in right. Otherwise it would be a pretty poor downgrade for those that use two monitors. I don’t use the laptop screen either when docked so really no reason it shouldn’t be able to drive them.
Because the morass that is HostSetting/HostedServices/etc and friends is a confusing tangle of dependencies (some unspecified) bizarre calls that you've missed and general confusion.

I seriously don't understand how MS managed to make loading some configs so outrageously confusing.

Every time I have to write in .net and I'm forced to go down this path, I've got to go back to the one project where it worked, and copy code across and install dependencies until the whole thing decides it's finally happy.
> Most people I know voted Republican were low-wage working people, where my highly paid educated friends voted Democrat

Biden actively courted high-earning, educated voters with his free college and student loan forgiveness policies, which amount to a wealth transfer to people who already have higher lifetime average earnings and are at a competitive advantage in the employment marketplace. Not very progressive:

He also pledged to fund it by raising corporate income taxes, which will reduce the profitability (and therefore, the value) of all publicly traded companies in the US, which means anyone with a 401(k) or IRA will indirectly be paying for this, even if they don't have student loan debt or a college degree at all.
In that once mRNA is read it is destroyed by the cell's machinery. This takes time, but should be a exponentially decaying curve. Thus you'd need to keep injecting mRNA to maintain the effects. With the ModeRNA vaccine, due to the nuances of the immune system, antibodies will stick around. But with other therapies it may be very limited in time. Again, super big caveats to most of what I've been saying, as it's a large overview and there are exceptions to everything here.

Took a look. I think your resume as probably as good as you can make it. It's easy to read with a few achievements nailed down for each role.

Anyway in my experience people will likely spend < 1 minute on your resume, so you begin to get diminishing returns to improving it very quickly.
In the state where I'm at, things worked a bit differently this year because of all the mail-in ballots -- but typically when I vote in person, my name is crossed off a paper list of registered voters and then I am escorted to a voting machine to enter in an electronic ballot that has no identifiers attached.

Obviously that's harder to do with mail ballots, because we have to be able to discern that one voter submitted one ballot. (and my state also allows people to track their mail-in ballot)
> Agreed on not creating silos.

There's one big silo, with the people who have stayed within it, and the people who have left outside it.

There aren't very many women here, which I assume is because of how the HN conversations about issues important to women tend to play out. This isn't an HN-specific problem, it's industry-wide. But I didn't go into software until my 30s, so the gender skew of the industry feels alien and alienating to me.

I would ditch HN if I discovered another tech community which was more inviting to women. I don't care if I start to miss out on the HN-resident perspectives on gender which shock me, because there are other perspectives which are more important to me which I'm already missing out on.
That is a cool story.

Most/many polls weight for this. If the people they reach are 60% seniors and 40% non-seniors, they know that seniors don't make up 60% of the population, so they weight based on likely voter demographic numbers. After 2016 they also started weighting on education level, because they thought that was a factor in the polling miss of 2016.
I don't understand the "I have a macOS laptop, and I use Arch Linux on a different computer" claim. If anything that's an even better time to use Nix, because it means I only need to know one package manager instead of two. The setup I currently use on macOS could be dropped onto a Linux machine and I expect it would work with zero changes there, or I could switch over to home-manager (probably a good idea, I just haven't done it for historical reasons). And if I don't have a setup yet I could just use `nix-env -iA nixpkgs.pkgname` to install stuff the way people usually get started with Nix.

If I wear a shirt with MEDICARE FOR ALL, GREEN NEW DEAL (or SUPPORT ACA and REJOIN PARIS ACCORDS) on it, that's clear partisan support. That's illegal. Thin blue line flags and "support our troops" are out of place and it's two-faced to pretend it isn't just a signal of partisan support. These are some of the major party issues.

Bad taste has nothing to do with it. If someone wears a SUPPORT THE CURRENT PRESIDENT shirt, that's support of Trump, not endorsement of the concept of government or something nonpartisan.

> Where's the deep dive with hard data?

>In the overall SPEC2006 chart, the A14 is performing absolutely fantastic, taking the lead in absolute performance only falling short of AMD’s recent Ryzen 5000 series.

The fact that Apple is able to achieve this in a total device power consumption of 5W including the SoC, DRAM, and regulators, versus +21W (1185G7) and 49W (5950X) package power figures, without DRAM or regulation, is absolutely mind-blowing.

Yeah - I've seen this second hand with Netflix and LinkedIn. From what I've seen of Facebook and Google - you can't bypass the interview evaluation process as easily as places like Netflix or LinkedIn.

Did you end up joining the FAANG and were able to not get evaluated on interview performance much? Because - getting recruiter emails isn't really a signal of anything, IMO. (I presume everyone in the valley gets the usual 1-5 email recruiter emails everyday)
Presumably a bigger battery on the Pro?
As far as I understand, the traditional sense of "shy voter" is to describe your poll numbers (i.e. the people who did take the survey) which answered "undecided" when they were shy about their choice. This also goes hand in hand with things like observed differences in answers of in-person surveys when the person doing the survey is/isn't from the same demographic as the person being surveyed.

A disproportional amount of people (after controlling for race/gender/income/education/etc) simply refusing to answer the survey has similar but conceptually different effect; one that (as the OP claims - perhaps they're mistaken) is new and had not been a significant factor before.
Apple's direction of marketing is better suited for mainstream consumers. Many of them don't know what CPU frequency means. For them, its additional noise with no added value. Consumers have too many choices and throwing a spec sheet often make them compare for hours and still can't make a decision whereas you know that this year's Mac is likely faster and better than last year's.
That's a stretch too far in my opinion. Sometimes we end up in situations that are unpleasant and the time it takes to change those situations is not necessarily short. As usual it's easier said than done. But it is doable, sure, I agree. But they still take a huge toll. Think about the hiring interview wall that's been going up recently. If stressed already one doesn't feel like jumping to leets code in preparation for an interview. Also there are other circumstances that make some of us not leave a job right away when we feel something is not right.
The point isn't to fix the problem, in fact they'll probably come out with more problems than they went in with. It's entirely punitive.

The cruelty is the point.

This is a bit of a tautology, but I guess it skews towards people who actually advertise/distribute their primary phone numbers (i.e., for business, or as a contact point for some club/group/community/org) or are otherwise in a field/business that basically boils down to networking.

I'm not sure exactly when I stopped answering calls outside of my contacts, but I know it's in the past ~9 years (and I feel like I've only been very consistent about not answering for 2-3 years). I'm fairly phone-avoidant, and almost never receive a "real" call from a non-contact.

But it wouldn't shock me if my last real-estate agent answered her personal cell if I called from a number she didn't recognize.
>It's much more likely - no matter which side you're for - that the person asking could have an adverse reaction. Things are just way too polarized now, not sure how that can change, but that's how it is.

What? When was the last time a pollster got upset because of your response? Or are you somehow worried that the results will leak out and you'll get canceled?
Apple clearly has an edge when it comes to silicon that others just won't be able to replicate anytime soon. From a cost perspective, just eliminating 4-5 chips by utilizing a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) allows them to create much simpler logic boards whilst saving hundreds of dollars. Not to mention saving the intel tax or being burdened by intel's lack of progress.

The big question remaining is how is this going to scale further up the mac pro line-up? I'd imagine a chiplet like architecture similar to AMDs zen3 is the way forward. But will they go all the way to 64 CPUs and beyond? Or will they just stick to a single SoC chip?

What cadence will they upgrade these chips with? I'd expect something closer to what the ipad has done with the AX chips, ie every 2 years. Questions.

Very interesting times. I want one, badly, just to have more than the meagre 2-4 hours of realistic batterly life i get on my 2017 MBP.
> Do you mean the same regulatory organizations that have reduced the US airline fatality rate by 50x over the last 50 years to the point where it's now over 100x safer per mile to fly than to drive?

As a layman, per-mile normalizing of the safety statistics feels wrong to me, given the speed and distance disparities between car and air travel (for many trips, the two modes aren't really substitutes).

IOW, 100x safer per mile doesn't look as good when contemplating a plane trip 200x longer than your daily commute.

I'm not sure what would be best, but either time-based or per-flight normalization seem like they would be an improvement. Or perhaps per-person (eg. x people fly per year, y have been in an accident).

No, "shy Trump voter" specifically means someone who says they are not voting for Trump (or undecided) then does so, because they're afraid to "admit" voting for him.
Ah, we are so lucky to have a framework full of language features that only it uses and an ability to drop down and learn a whole other suite of frameworks that work completely differently to achieve the same task!

I've been so lucky to have to learn near a dozen programming languages in the span of less than a decade to write CRUD apps that appear on screens and do the same thing on each platform slightly differently.

I only hope to be more lucky in the decades to come, maybe I'll have to learn two dozen new languages and three dozen new frameworks to write CRUD apps that show up on computer screens.

That is a good point. To the extent that vote-by-mail becomes the dominant choice, we won't be able to rely on exit polls as a check. So it becomes even more important that the other checks we have on the system remain in place.

This was literally predicted ahead of time based off the known demographics of the regions and the time it would take to count the ballots in different counties and the expected differences between in-person and mail-in ballots. It's absolutely misinformation to pretend that this is suspicious and should be investigated.

It is impossible to report news without bias. Instead, publications and journalists should strive to be honest about what their biases are, and to do what they can to correct for them.
People in media will usually tell you that there's no such thing as unbiased reporting; even the act of choosing which stories are important enough to report is a biased act.

However, I must say that I'm not subscribed to any newspapers, and the main reason I've chosen to do so is that newspapers can:

- Work for political and business moguls by offering crowd manipulation as a service

- Work for ad buyers by trying to optimise engagement

- Work for subscribed readers by trying their best to provide quality information

Any of those is a valid business I guess, but I'm only interested in the latter. And newspapers try to sell me the third option without dropping the others. It's true that if something's free you are the product, but in this case they're trying to both make me the product and make me pay. Not cool.
Communication is important, too. Your teammates should have a rotating schedule and understanding of client deliveries so an exhausted person can rotate off for a fresh one.
It is sorta meaningless these days. The 3.6GHz chip in my P consistently averages at 4.3GHz, and climbs up to high 4's when it needs to. It's also much faster than a 3.6GHz processor from 5 years ago.

It's a great baseline for comparing same-generation computers, though. Without benchmarks, none of us has any idea which is faster, the Air or the Pro, or the 15".

I use a mac for work (and paid for by work) but refuse to spend my money on something I can't use the way I would like to use it. I think that these companies shouldn't be able to lock you out of you using your tractor/car/computer like everyone seems to be moving towards. It's a real shame. I understand if they want to void the warranty because a user blew away some critical firmware, but that's another ball of wax and it's on the user to suffer the consequences.
I get calls from HP and Dell (we have on-premisis servers), which somehow come from numbers in Britain, Singapore, India and Denmark. I'd prefer them to email, but I can't really blame the support staff from trying to solve problems as fast as possible.

I get that exact burning sensation in the bottom of my spine! Weak core muscles; specifically wrong muscles trying to support the core. I had zero lower abdominals. Pilate's helps a lot.

I have to consciously engage muscles, even after practicing for years (can't afford Pilate's sessions which would make it go faster). Now I very rarely get the burning sensation and corresponding days, weeks, or months or not being able to sit or do much of anything.
It does answer your question: you kill them (e.g. law systems that stone them to death) or reintegrate them into society or just keep doing the prison/release/relapse dance indefinitely, burning through tax dollars all the while.

You may put a rapist in a prison but then they serve their sentence and might go on to become your neighbor, regardless of whether they repent or are willing to rape again. Where do you put them then? Who gets to decide who's unrepentant? You see how the question gets uncomfortable?

I get that you're trying to just imply that some criminals should just rot in prison, but that's exactly the blindsidedness that I was talking about when it comes to discussions about prison systems.

Plus, defects tend to be clustered, which is a pretty lucky effect. Multiple defects on a single core don't really matter if you are throwing the whole thing away.
Be very, very clear about what you did, versus what your team or the organization around you did. What does it mean that you "scaled engineering processes while organization grew from 400 people to 1200", for instance? Most of that sentence talks about what the organization did; what people reading it want to know is what you did, and at what scope. For instance, does that mean that you helped the organization's engineering processes scale up, or does that mean you helped your own team cope with the organization scaling up?

Likewise, "developed a roadmap to achieve goals" sounds so empty as a statement. What kinds of goals, were they actually achieved, what effect did the roadmap have, what was the follow-through? (Perhaps this is just an issue with anonymization. It's not that you need the minute details, but do provide enough information that your resume sounds different from a thousand other resumes in ways other than just changing the proper nouns.)

By contrast, something like "Developed engineering evaluation guidelines and career paths within the org" sounds much better; it's clear what scope you had, and it's a substantial scope. You helped fill a void within the broader organization, likely to the benefit of both your team and the organization. Put that together with your mentions of leveling up engineers at various levels, and you're telling a consistent story that shows you raising your team up and raising the tide for everyone in the process.

The bullet points on your first role sound much clearer as well.

In general, when reading any given item, I'd like to know how you saw a problem, figured out the right solution, worked to get that solution implemented, and followed through to make sure it solved the problem. Not all of those things need to be explicitly stated (and for the most part they won't all need to be), but I think all of them need to be evident in some way. If you also tell a consistent story in the process, people start to get a picture of who you are and what you can do for them.
Its not "lucky" at all, this was an orchestrated outcome. Theres 2 components to this:

1. Mail in ballots were heavily partisan. The president made a point to instruct Republican voters to vote in person, and not by mail. And many other correlated factors (eg. COVID and social distancing has also been heavily politicized, influencing whether a voter would vote in person vs mail in).

2. Mail in ballots were delayed. This happened both legally (https://www.npr.org/2020/10/14/922202497/in-swing-states-law...), as well as though strategic dismantling of USPS mail processing facilities.

And now this pre-meditated orchestration, set up by a Republican president and Republican State house, is being used as evidence of some grand conspiracy. Its not, and has been predictable for months now, with countless news articles about it.
