Go tool, generate struct according to db schema
I thought I came up with the idea of attaching symbolic importance to otherwise menial tasks so I can complete them. Things like mail, paperwork, printing materials I make up some kind of scenario where completing the task is of critical importance and reward myself somehow after. I don’t otherwise recognize myself as ADHD though. I think rather its odd people can easily interrupt their day to do this stuff.
So Kaitai Struct (http://kaitai.io/ - they have a web IDE) isn't a hex editor, but their IDE is what I'd jump to if I had to pull apart a blob of binary data. You define the schema and it automatically turns the data into a labeled tree you can click through without needing to remember offsets or byte patterns or whatever.

You can use the schema in a number of programming languages then, and if you wanted to compare files it might be a few more steps but you could export your data as json and get a semantic diff vs "4 bytes changed at offset 1294".
20-year-old, Slashdot-weaned me would have been outraged at this. 43-year-old me shrugs his shoulders and says "so?"

You own the hardware -- a hunk of very expensive sand. But much of the stuff on the computer, whether software or content, you don't own. The OS belongs to Apple. The apps belong to ISVs and the books, games, movies, and music you download or stream belong to the publishers of those things. So you really have no right to any more functionality in the device than is advertised and provided; and not only that, but the various rightsholders are entitled to the protection of their rights.

To the creative class, there are few evils greater than piracy, and to allow for devices that can perform arbitrary computation without restrictions that protect their interests is to give free rein to Satan himself. Such devices are to authors, as the saying goes, like the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone. And most end users don't care how locked down or DRM'd their devices are. So this is the new reality.

In fact, it is not preposterous to imagine a world in which general-purpose computers are flat out ruled illegal by a court. The only thing that saved the VCR in the Betamax case was the fact that it could be used for time-shifting which, under very limited circumstances, could be considered fair use. A court may decide that in an environment where most users' computing needs are met by locked-down devices, those who sell devices that are not locked down are committing contributory infringement.

Opening Old Wounds – Why Uber Engineering Switched from Postgres to MySQL
I was going to mention that although I didn't remember if it was conclusively proven to be that. I think the bigger issue is that she printed it on an agency printer so they were easily able to get the list of everyone who had printed it (not many) and work from there.

Certainly, the NSA could put firmware on its own printers (as could any organization that needed it) so that is no justification for putting it in all printers with no notice to the user.
it's all good advice

but

Interestingly in the book Rage there is 10 pages of Bob telling Trump again and again that he should have apologized about the quiproquo and things would have been fine. Trump refuses to see it this way, and I’m inclined to believe that maybe Trump is right. From a sociology point of view things might be better if you deny instead of apologizing. I’m now wondering if the same could be true in a relationship, although social dynamics work differently at different scales.
“2020 is far, far worse than 1992 was”

Just on English usage, the hyperbole of “far, far worse” isn’t justified by your three, count them three, examples. Remember you aren’t saying it’s “worse” or “far worse”, but “far, far worse”.

I don’t do politics, so I don’t know to what you are referring to on these points.

1. So more than one former government employee made serious threats against the lives of current government officials. That is a serious offense. What law suits or law enforcement interventions arose? I don’t keep up on these things.

2. What is a “second amendment solution”? Where was it written in a Republican document I can read? Did it involve guns of some sort?

3. Challenging the results of an election is “unprecedented in modern history”? I assume you mean in this way, whatever that is. And what precisely is that way? What is unprecedented?

Most importantly, what is the difference between “far, far worse” and, say, “far, far, far worse”? You didn’t say “far, far, far worse”, so I’m guessing that means you think it’s really not so bad...
Just because you don’t like the findings, doesn’t mean that it’s biased.

As far as the distinction between work and workers, it’s who is doing the work. If most people with an driver app are idle, they’ve removed themselves from the candidate pool. They’re irrelevant. It’s no different than talking about active users versus total accounts made. In other words, if you want to know how policies affect people, you look at who is affected.
I'm also down for a headless little networked device, as long as it has some kind of serial console support. Any idea when these things are targeted for sale?
It’s one thing if they are complaining that the equipment is not designed for headgear, but I think it’s another thing to say that people want to be victims for not spending time and money to chemically alter their natural hair to be like the majority race’s hair.
It's not quite as alliterative.
Apple Music constantly removes my tracks despite my paying for and uploading through the Match service. Frustrating as all hell.

The 'anti-progressive' viewpoint is about people using their varied abilities in the free market to make it themselves. It assumes that everyone is at least a little abled in something and that something is enough to pay the bills. It's pure ideology. The reality is that if you are injured and suddenly can't do you're job then you likely have 0 bread-winning ability until you learn a new skill or set yourself up in a new career if that is even possible.

Hmm, I wonder what happened between the fall of the Qing Dynasty and 1949.

No, I’m agreeing with pjc50 that claims like “the security and protection of property under the rule of law should be a human right” deserve skepticism, if they mean that Western democracies should provide more legal protection for property rights than they already do, because that’s what the tobacco companies wanted and it would have been bad if they got it.
This is the best advice. Your description is also very good. An apology is you offering something (like dignity or a moment of weakness). But too often, people treat apologies as something you use to make a transaction where you're excused for your behavior by performing the ritual.

> I also don't doubt that "every tech nerd's reaction is 'bullshit'", but only because supremely confident proclamations of universal truth that are soon proven wrong is pretty much the defining trait among that community (c. f. various proclamations that solar power is useless, CSI-style super-resolution image enhancement is "impossible" because "the information was lost", "512k should be enough...", "less space than a Nomad..", and everything Paul Graham has said, ever).

Notwithstanding the fact that you do have a point here, polemically phrased as it may somewhat ironically be, I just want to point out that the Paul Graham reference is probably not the best example of the "tech nerd community" trait you're describing. At least this particular community doesn't quite believe that everything Paul Graham say is true; a couple of examples:

* "Let the Other 95% of Great Programmers In": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8799572

* "The Refragmentation": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10826836

I could share a lot more HN discussions, and some of his essays where he pretty much describe the trait you're taking issue with here -- but I'm already dangerously close to inadvertently becoming an example of a tech nerd that believe "everything Paul Graham has said, ever", is absolutely true ;) I don't, and I know for a fact that he doesn't think so either (there's an essay about that too).

> Eg. The lack of opposition to the idea that water is wet does not imply that water is in fact dry and everyone is just brain washed

There's no world in which no opposition actually exists when there is a little bit of freedom. You can observe it even in small groups where people can express themselves: you won't have a single convergence of opinions on every topic.
This is a giant pain in the ass compared to every other modern language. Either you’re manually managing precise versions for all direct and transitive dependencies or you aren’t running exactly the same versions of libraries across team members and environments which would be horrifying.

Yes. Previously shared was used in the context and goal of cost savings. But* Unified* now has a goal of higher performance.

Why should people who cluster in a few cities get to decide how the rest of the places are governed?

Yes, there is too little democracy, that's the point. Federal Republics are not democracies, by design. Just because you're in larger numbers, you don't get to choose everything for everyone else.

While true, that doesn't mean that an Apple-controlled key decides which apps will run:

> There isn’t a specific identity requirement for this signature: a simple ad-hoc signature issued locally is sufficient, which includes signatures which are now generated automatically by the linker. This new behavior doesn’t change the long-established policy that our users and developers can run arbitrary code on their Macs, and is designed to simplify the execution policies on Apple silicon Mac computers and enable the system to better detect code modifications.

I like when people strawman my points by adding 'stupid' where it was not written and implied anywhere. Smart people can be equally brainwashed.

You cannot have productive discussion with people who have no access to different sources of information. The CCP completely controlling education, media and the Internet makes most people in China in a very bad position to access facts versus pure State propaganda. Add to that a strong social pressure to conform and punishment for divergence and yes, you have mass brainwashing going on.

Obituary – James Randi, the woo-woo catcher
This is a very important distinction. "I did X" isn't seen often enough, in individuals and companies. Part of it is a perception that it invites litigation. I hate how it's rare to hear a company (or person) admit they made a mistake, or didn't take the best path.

Not doing this makes even well-intentioned organizations and people feel slimy and dishonest to me. I'm evidently in the minority.
It would make sense if Uber limited the hours employees could work. Make all of these stories about happy part time workers 100% the case. Or if some drivers work full time then pay for their benefits, let Uber lose more money per ride because that doesn't seem to matter.
I'd suggest putting the "but unfortunately ..." bit after the link (or leaving it out); as it is, it sounds as if the relevant content in your link is going to be at the end of the page and and hard to find, and I almost didn't click because of that.
There is no company or person so bad that defenders won't crawl out of the woodwork.

There are laws already on the books allowing corporate officers to be charged individually for, e.g., wrongful deaths, gross negligence, destroyed livelihoods. All we need is for prosecutors to start using them.

Whenever I mention this, somebody pops up babbling about hysteria, as if those laws were written and passed in some sort of fit.
> which are even less accountable than a democratic government.

I've never seen a politician 'held accountable' for doing something I don't like in a democracy.

I'll pick out George W. Bush who (with massive public support) charged in to the Middle East, glassed one or two countries, set the US up for 20 years so far of ruinously expensive wars. He served two full terms. I might have seen an article sometime recently that he had taken up painting and is pretty good at it.

What level of accountability am I expecting him to be held to for that? I think those may have been some of the worst political actions taken in my lifetime. When you say "less accountable" - what do you think shows a democratic government being held accountable? I like democracy, but I don't think the government is accountable.

Corporations are actually held accountable. If they screw up, the owners can lose out massively. Executives too through incentive programs.
So, just run a mile or three to sober up (without the need for any device) .. seems pretty straightforward. Though you likely won't be running straight. :D

I meant this to be like last “firehose” access to Twitter, to get and incorporate new patterns as they develop.

But also to crawl and process the entire dataset including issues constantly.

It’s conceivable vscode could highlight and warn about known issues in packages as new code is developed.
I suspect the opposite. It is possible that Apple has decided that 640 KB is enough for everyone — that performance level of a tablet is what most common people need from a computer.

Perhaps you haven't been paying attention but this is Apple's third processor transition: 68K to PowerPC to Intel to ARM. Each time was to push the envelope of performance and to have a roadmap that wouldn't limit them in the future.

When the first PowerPC-based Macs shipped, they were so fast compared to what was available at the time, they couldn't be exported to North Korea, China or Iran; they were classified as a type of weapon [1].

The fact the PowerMac G4 was too fast to export at the time was even part of Apple's advertising in the 90s [2].

It's always been part of Apple's DNA to stay on the leading edge, especially with performance.

Apple's strategy has never been to settle for good enough. If that were the case, they wouldn't have spent the last 10+ years designing their own processors and ASICs. Dell, HP, Acer, etc. just put commodity parts in a case and ship lowest-commodity hardware. It shouldn't be a surprise that the M1 MacBook Air blows these guys out of the water.

Anyone paying attention saw this coming a mile away.

I have a quad-core 3.4 GHz Intel iMac and it's pretty clear the MacBook Pro with the M1 is going to be noticeably faster for some, if not all, of the common things I do as a web developer.

We know the M2 and the M3 are in development; I suspect 2021 will really be the year of shock and awe when the desktops start shipping.

If you want to see the faults of near-pure democracy, look no further than the north/south divide of California. Two key characteristics of Northern California today: (1) has most all the State's water (2) has a great deal of the State's fires. Now as a negotiation offer, the water in theory should be a strong hold for the State to put ample effort for deforestation, but as of today water is a Human Right (thus Southern California has a non-negotiable right to the Northern water) and the bloated bill for forest fire management put perhaps a 100th of the effort needed for forest-management practices.
