How vintage is vintage? Internet Recovery was added in 2011 [0] — although it doesn’t work in all cases.

If you have older hardware (as old as 2007), you can download Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra from Apple’s website [1] or the App Store. Note that using those images requires access to a working Mac, or at least a Mac with working (Internet) Recovery, although doing it in Recovery is complicated and requires some tricks [2], because Apple can’t just make a simple DMG you could mount (or image a drive with) and install directly.

I have a theory that intelligence, consciousness, free will are very easy to evolve (we just haven't worked out how to do it yet - like many cellular processes). What is difficult is harnessing that free will to the evolutionary success of the organism.

The large brain is necessary as a harness, to control the intelligence, and enslave it to evolutionarily beneficial ends. Probably not just hardwired instincts, but also learns - probably, similar to animal intelligence.

Like a giant finite state machine, that prevents a turing machine from running certain programs that never halt. Of course, it can't catch all such programs, and a turing machine can transcend any such bound, but lowering the probability of running one is good enough.

Note that turing equivalence, the highest possible computational power, emerges from even the slightest complexity (apart from the infinite tape part).

Thus "intelligence" has appeared in countless individual animals: mammals, birds, spiders, perhaps plants too and bacteria (and is still so appearing), but it doesn't confer a survival advantage, so disappears. Many such creatures just sit there discerning patterns instead of surviving. Others do survive but by instinct, so the intelligence makes no difference.

The difficulty is putting freewill in the driver's seat.
Cross following between different parts of the Fediverse was definitely work in progress during the last Ask HN, but I expect it to work now. Did not use it myself yet though, so cannot comment on the current state.
Add Title Insurance fleecing to that as well.
I managed to install Big Sur on an "unsupported" 15" retina 2012 using Patched-Sur.dmg without any issues, perhaps that's the way for 2013/14 ones as well now?
Thanks for creating and sharing this! Always easier to criticize than create. I for one think your code reads as quite pythonic. Using convenient python wrappers for c libraries is the raison d'être for python in the first place. See numpy, pytorch, ...

Wonderful photos. It's become a stereotype that Roma are all about emotions, sadness and hapiness at the same time, but the photos show it remarkably well. I agree with him -- it's simple, nobody should live like that. But in reality it's complicated because a lot of people in that part of the world have it hard. It's difficult to accept that somebody may have it even harder, and simply cannot change much on their own. Even if they try, they are struck down by systemic racism. And if they don't try, they confirm the stereotypes. And on the other hand the empathy is mostly academic and limited to watching photos like these. Once you're directly exposed to something like this, it's easy to look the other way because individuals are also products of their environment, and the environment is tough.

The situation of Roma is always a good counter example to the statement "no racism in Europe". Perhaps there was never official segregation, but there is almost always implicit segregation. They can ride the bus, but more intimate relationships between the Roma and non-Roma population are rare. True friendships, marriages etc. So it's not Mississippi of the 50's, but there's also been little progress in the last decades. Which is a pity because IMHO there is no quick fix, only slowly changing what is considered to be normal.
There is a lot of "racism" talk on this thread, but criminal Roma gangs are an undeniable fact in Europe as they are regularly dismantled by the police. One cannot defend the exploitation of the poor, young kids, the disabled, the old, sent to western Europe and forced into begging, stealing or mugging locals and excuse that with "cultural relativism".

These ones live in shanty towns, do not send their young children to school even in places where school is mandatory under 15 thus perpetuate the cycle of illiteracy. Is this what educated people here are defending? really? This kids aren't even given a chance to succeed.

They have a tight sense of community and most of them never assimilate wherever they go and barely make effort to speak the local language. This isn't a cliché or a stereotype, that's the reality of these gangs. There is next to 500 Roma slums around Paris, and we're talking about people that have for EU citizenship. One cannot blame that situation on "racism", this is 100% due to criminal behaviour and gangs trafficking vulnerable people.

Yes, all Roma aren't like this, a lot of them work tough jobs in agriculture or construction. But criminal Roma networks are a reality nobody can deny.
The problem with inheriting from asyncio.Protocol is that it ties your code to the callback-based low level asyncio API—I'm not surprised that this package doesn't have any tests.
Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I will push back on some of the popular mythology that everyone thought successful startups we're just toys or would fail in their early days. IMO that's mostly bullshit.

Amazon, Google, Uber, Facebook (despite some cherry picked article from the video about it never being able to hit profitability) were all hugely popular right off the bat, and indeed, many people saw them as being more worthy successors to what were already huge businesses (e.g. the pre-Google search engines, MySpace).

In a similar vein, you often here how pg and other top VCs thought AirBnB was a horrible idea early on. Well, that's just their own individual myopic vision IMO. Couchsurfing was already very popular, as were other vacation rental platforms like VRBO - it's not hard to see how AirBnB could grow into that space.

If anything, what I see as the common thread is that the most successful startups executed extraordinarily well at just exactly the right time (e.g. there were other video sites before YouTube, but you didn't really have enough broadband adoption until the late 00s the make it viable).
Who said anything about a mouse and or touchpad mainly? As far as I know, the studies were for keyboard and mouse in combination and actually predated touchpads.
No, he means your freedom to marry whom you choose infringes upon his belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. American evangelicals were instrumental in spreading their hatred of homosexuality in Africa and helped create laws allowing the murder of men accused of homosexuality, this was less than a decade ago. Those people are still very much alive and active within the conservative world, they haven’t become more accepting.
That's not true. California law covers everything you do outside of the work hours without employer-provided equipment, including things in the employer's areas of business. What California does allow the employer to do is to have a conflict of interest provision that will allow it to discipline or sue you if you do something outside of work hours that could cause conflict with the employer's business. They won't own your IP though.
Take a look at the project in question. It's a fairly straightforward github action. I imagine facebook has some (probably quite sensible) policy that they shouldn't rely on random third-party actions, and rather than just forking it they thought they'd build it to better suit their needs. Life is stressful enough working at a large org trying to get real work done without worrying that some author has decided to claim the rights over an extremely generic and obvious name.

Launching a new product using the extremely unique name of an existing open source project this is not.
> What would 'really' built-in mean?

This is subjective, of course. IMO a real built-in appliance wouldn't have feet on the bottom that it sits on, wouldn't have finished sides and back, it would be purpose-built to only work within cabinetry designed for that purpose.

My ovens don't work that way, as far as I know. It requires a certain opening, but it isn't designed to be free -standing so it couldn't be set on the floor. At least not safely. It's designed from the ground up to be inside a cabinet, there isn't just a trim kit to fake it.

My dishwasher for sure isn't designed to be free-standing. It would tip over when you opened the door. It does have feet, but it requires attachment to the counter. And if you pull it out, you are looking directly at the tub, not finished sides.

Not sure about the fitted fridges. Mine is not that fancy, so it's designed to be standalone. It sits inside a cabinet that is designed to accommodate it, but not as a built-in.

Something I've wondered: would it be possible to support With[x = 2, x + x] when there's just a single variable? It's certainly very low-priority, but it saves a few keystrokes when doing quick calculations.

> For the obvious reason that if you go read voat and gab that's, um, literally what those dudes are saying. Like, I didn't make up the shit about pizzas, man. Sometimes some things are just fact.

I've been on Gab in the past and while there were some that said that stuff like that, most weren't.

> Like, I didn't make up the shit about pizzas, man.

Again keep on bringing up the crazy stuff while ignoring the stuff that is plausible. That is very disingenous.

> I'm sure it must be very convincing that I am in cahoots with CNN weather because we both think it's a sunny day in San Francisco today. Or maybe Big Calendar and I are conspiring to decide that today is Nov 15, a Saturday. After all, we're saying the same thing. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

I never that you were in cahoots with a news media. I said that you were repeating the same lines in the same manner. It is obvious that you are just repeating what they've said and then pretending on here that you are not.

Yes, preventing a wildfire from starting on a 40 degree (celsius) day with no rain forecast for weeks and several others burning simultaneously is a desirable thing.

We try and manage the bushland with hazard reduction burns in the cooler months when weather patterns allow. These reduce the available fuel loads so that an uncontrolled fire in the area will be less intense.

There will always be fire in our landscape. Our job is to manage it as best we can to protect the trees, the wildlife and the homes that have been built near them.

+1 to this, at the time of the constitution's signing the states were trending towards fragmentation into separate countries. New York and Massachusetts were on the brink of a hot war over westward territorial expansion.

The founders were obviously concerned with the need for a military to "maintain a free state", but I'd doubt that a centralized military would have been palatable at the time.
I don't think the parent is confusing these notions. I don't know what distribution will be pre-installed on the KDE community edition, but the KDE project provides pre-built images based on Neon, which is Ubuntu with up to date KDE things on it. Plasma mobile also runs on Postmarket OS and Manjaro, and also Arch I think.

When I briefly tried Neon on Wednesday, it was based on Ubuntu 20.04 and the 5.7 kernel if I remember correctly. Mobian is using kernel 5.9. I hope the pre-installed distribution will have an up to date kernel with latest patches. I also hope that it will be possible to install the latest versions of Plasma Mobile on Mobian in the near future too.
> I can't deny that the ethics in this area is blurry

If you don't like the ethics of aborting a monkey fetus because it is "like murder", you're going to hate what happens to lab monkeys they don't abort.
As with any book released with intentional harm aimed at an already marginalized and discriminated against group, people are going to protest it's existence let alone it's distribution. That's.. literally free speech. They can write the book but people can also call it trash. Advocating for private civilians to burn a book is very different than nazis writing a list of 30,000 books and more artwork to burn because it's subversive to nazi culture. What utter lunacy.

Hey, thanks, I can feel your good intentions.

It's hard to put a pin on why it feels like more than you're seeing. Part of it is that I'm asking for so many of these de novo supports when coworkers are so much more independent. The fixes happen easily, but need comms and planning that mostly only brings marginal benefits to me. I mostly leaned on ambient energy and indirect attention of others -- e.g., my best "need to be productive" days came from sitting in a common area and making sure my screen faced out, so my sense of pleasing others kept me accountable. Other ways are possible, but it's hard to reinvent your whole way of managing yourself, esp when it mostly feels like a solitary effort, I guess?

Anyhow, thanks for hearing me out. I know it might not sound like it makes tons of sense. It's a layered failure of all my prior mechanisms for happiness and satisfaction in work

I don't doubt there are examples where a fresh set of eyes and lack of knowledge about what can and can't be done can break out from "the way we've always done things." But it's probably not the way to bet in the general case.

Sure, I don't want to convince you to use a tool or not use a tool because we each must make that decision for ourselves. If you would find yourself searching Twitter for "mayos", "yts", or "white people", then I can see why you don't enjoy it and I can see why you don't want to use Twitter. That's a very reasonable decision.

I just wanted you to have the information that there are certain ways to use the tool to get good SNR. If you decide that using the tool in those ways is not worth it to you, that would be reasonable as well and I won't try to convince you otherwise. If you already had that information, then it was just wasted effort on my part, which I'm willing to accept.

A carbon tax is still pretty important. If you can only push through one of the two politically it's not clear to me an ICE ban is the right choice.

In ten years at the current rate of progress, EVs will be well past their tipping point economically and sales will crater anyway. If you add substantial carbon tax on the fuel, they're done.

And a carbon tax will help with all sorts of other emissions, transportation being only about 10%.

A new car sales ban does help car companies see the writing on the wall, but in the EU the direction is crystal clear anyway.

I feel like pointing at a graph of carbon in the atmosphere is an unfair response to the parent comment, who isn't denying the problem and is just talking tactics.

>Romas, who integrate into the society are accepted by the majority.

In fact, here in the south, they are completely indistinguishable--we have the exact same skin colour, facial features, etc. You can only tell romas apart when they choose to. In other words, this is not a case similar to blacks in America.

As you said it is probably an unsolvable problem. Better in ghettos than causing trouble. If any roma wants to leave the ghetto and live a normal life, nobody would bat an eye--in fact, nobody would even notice.
If I may chip in - I don't think it's really comparable.

An abortion is a result of a choice being made by a person after a set of real life and possibly unexpected events have happened.

How is that any different from a regular github fork?

Note that the repo name also stays the same when a github project is forked.

True, github repos are namespaced and github marketplace isn’t. Perhaps this is the core of the issue.

Then again, this looks like an issue of github marketplace. In this light FB’s actions seem unrelated.
Statements About Employee competence/incompetence
Hi!
I’m doing some research on first impressions and need some help coming up with statements that signal employee competence/incompetence. The statements can’t signal personality (ie Tom works overtime) since that would be a confound, but things like experience, learning ability are fair game. The ostensible position is product manager
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
Competent

(Kevin/Tom) graduated with an MBA from Harvard Business School
At his previous job, (Kevin/Tom) found and fixed a major error in the user tracking software that could have resulted in major data breaches
(Kevin/Tom) has had 10 years experience working as a senior product manager
(Kevin/Tom) consistently rolled out projects weeks ahead of schedule as senior product manager
(Kevin/Tom) was recognized as “Top Manager” 5 years in a row
(Kevin/Tom) helped design a streamlined product development workflow that is now an industry standard
(Kevin/Tom) taught himself javascript, R, C++ and Python

Incompetent

(Kevin/Tom) has no experience in design or systems management
At his previous job, (Kevin/Tom) was infamous for making errors that took coworkers tens of hours to find and fix
(Kevin/Tom) relies on coworkers to finish tasks assigned to him
(Kevin/Tom) has never individually completed
At his previous job, (Kevin/Tom) frequently misunderstood the nature of projects, resulting in poor planning and delays
(Kevin/Tom) struggles with schedule management on projects, resulting in significant delays.
> Like I say, I find it hard to describe how I feel about it all.
