Wait a bit until a new iOS feature will require a new XCode and the new XCode will require a new MacOS. :) Been there, seen it.
I agree and I am also reasonably sure it will go down as you said it will ... the problem is there is no fix. These corporate behemoths will always intentionally, or unintentionally step on people - and I say this with no animosity towards them. It is what it is. They are huge organizations with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of employees. An elephant will not try to hurt an ant, but may step on one.

How are you finding managing infra for rails? Is disaster recovery quick for you?

I'm the author of openfaas and hear what you say about the fragmentation for using AWS Lambda. We recently made a rails-esq version of OpenFaaS for users who have a single small app like yourself. I would be interested in your impressions. It's all open source and is a bit more of a more modern stack. On the upside it uses containers and you can write in any language.

One way or the other, politics needs to send signals to the manufacturers and customers, where things are going. Yes, I expect the ban to be completely a token effort because people stopped buying ICE cars long before, but that might be triggered by this token now. Also, when discussing large scale infrastructure needed, be it grid enhancement or charge point creation, having this clear goal helps with the planning, especially when the government is involved.
> Once an Apple product is no longer produced, driver support completely falls by the wayside.

This is the first time I've heard that, and I've never experienced it. If you have a compilation of "driver support disappears" issues, I'd like to read it.

It's very common for folks to be using 5- and 6-year-old Macs with a recent version of macOS. macOS Big Sur supports 7-year-old Macs.
You are absolutely right. The great appeal of hydrogen is that you can get it straightforwardly from water and it oxidizes back to water. Hard to imagine a cleaner energy cycle, subject to the extraction energy source but that’s in common with the alternatives.

Pretty much everything else about it is bad. Shame.
And that's why the maintainer is free to ignore them, if they choose to. They should not be hanged for prioritizing their time. Others can pick all that up. Fork the project, use the reported issues and proposed patches, whatnot. Accusing the maintainer of being arrogant for ignoring contributions is as wrong as accusing the contributors for wasting somebody's time.

These recent open source related threads on HN are quite an eye-opener for me how much misunderstood the whole concept is. In that concept, nobody is committing or promising any of their time or energy, so should not get judged for it either. Neither maintainers nor users nor contributors.
I wish there was a follow up question that does one follow any religion?
Changing the Game for Performance
"All those concerns" is a bit too much optimistic. There are several concerns, and while there were some ideas put forward, and some patches applied to non-mainline Linux trees, all of those are untested. Values for the NTC were taken from some random datasheet on the internet in the hopes most 10kOhm NTCs have a similar R-T characteristic (they don't), and that the random datasheet I picked matches NTC that's in the battery.

Just to give you a perspective on the level of quality of existing solution.

It's better than before, though.
You use the word "gypsy" a lot. The Roma I've met consider it very offensive, almost n-word level offensive. Is that not the case in Europe?
Around 2010 I designed the "computer room" for a 3 story apartment building that had computers for the residents to use. It was all very basic. The only complexity was that the ethernet run was across the whole building and 3 stories from the 3rd story computer room to the first story utility room.

The day came when it was time to test it out. All the Ethernet lights came on, but throughput was on the order of less than a few kbps. I let the project manager know that something was wrong with the cabling.

He got back to me a week later. The electrician who ran the line ran out mid way and used wire nuts to splice another length of cable. The fix was to simply terminate each end correctly on a splice connector. IIRC they might have even just re-ran one single length.

But the instinct not to trust electricians to run CAT5/6 was 101% correct!
When Europeans talk about racism in America they are left/libertarian in their views (red dot in the low left quadrant in the left image). When they talk about the Romani, they are basically Nazis (so extreme in the top right quadrant that you need to draw a swastika to extend the graph to get the dot to appear)
Making a wrong statement confidently doesn't making true.

Roma in the Netherlands don’t keep their children in school either, even though it’s free and compulsory. Unsurprisingly they experience the issues associated with being uneducated people.
> On the server, there’s a reason Amazon built Firecracker and Google built gVisor instead of just using the Linux sandboxing primitives.

The reason is that Firecracker is a virtual machine, and Linux containers and sandboxing primitives are not meant to be used for virtual machines.

Pointing at Snap and Flatpak's "sandboxes" is disingenuous when they're notorious for having sandboxing as an after thought to app distribution.

When I say industrial grade, I mean that the sandboxing and isolation primitives that are used in industry are those that are either provided in the kernel, or are deployed as part of a standard Linux server deployment.

What fascinates me about drum machine in general is, every time I fill the whole bar with random stuff, as long as it's relatively full and have both low and high ends, it'll sound good, it'll groove, and I can groove on it for hours. I wonder if anyone else feels the same. Love the idea that human body instinctively loves to groove!

Afraid you gave the same two first links
I'm not sure "originalist" means anything. The constitution, like all legal texts, contains contradictions between different principles. As logic students know, once you have contradictions in your principles, you can prove anything you want.

The role of a judge is to sort through these contradictions to decide which principles are more important than others, even though they are all mentioned in the constitution.

So I don't see how there is an objective concept of "originalist": you have to pick some principles over others. Which ones you pick are a lot more guided by your own ideology than by the words on paper.
It's also such things as nuclear weapons, genetically engineered virii, patents on life, tampering with ecosystems, plants designed to be sterile to ensure a seed market, lakes full of sterile fish stocked for sport.

>No, if you can save billions and you choose not to, you have killed them. If you can uplift species and you choose not to, you have killed their cognition. We are gods over the Earth. We have dominion over it and the creatures that inhabit it

No we're not. We're barely able to hold it together. The Earth is a giant living system we're slowly killing and replacing with human technology.

It's not a naturalistic fantasy, it's the reality of the planet you live on.

To think we dominate this world is laughable. The fungi will consume all of us some day and outlive us all. I mean some are among the oldest still living life on earth as it is. Like millions of years old and still going. How can you dominate something that's existed longer than you and will out live you and everyone you know?

Humans have such a limited understanding of the very things that make life possible. We're not gods, we're children who wandered into gods workshop and started playing with all the shiny toys.

Just because we know how to play with toys doesn't make us gods or the dominators of the Earth or life itself.

That's the kind of arrogance I speak of that's going to blow up in our faces.
If this was how things went down, it was a terrible implementation of a fix - you'd expect it to be under a Facebook namespace rather than the employee's personal account - if the employee leaves, they instantly become a "sketchy third party dev".
> the USA "non-profit" is simply a term used to define a tax bracket

This understates the importance of the distinction - non-profits don't have shareholders, don't return profit to owners, etc. They are very different.

That does not mean that you can't create a non-profit for any terrible goal. You could form a non-profit for directing funds to Nazi organizations globally. But a non-profit is not aiming to make money for some owners and in an educational context, that is important.

> if the wealth of my parents is a metric for how much they'll charge me to attend, clearly "profit" is important, and specifically scarcity

This is facile. Is medicaid for-profit? If your family makes too much, you will be booted off and have to pay for your own healthcare.

Indeed, any means-tested governmental program falls under your definition of operated for "profit" which is nonsense when those programs are redistributive (although perhaps not redistributive enough).
> Then why are you repeating what they say point for point?

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'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!

And who cares if you don't believe any of this. It doesn't really matter. The SNR is everything. One guy here or there is a speck of dust on the vinyl.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go attend to my master. His nictitating membrane is giving him some trouble this morning. And I've got to learn from him what day we're going to decide tomorrow is.
It’s pretty easy to conclude that Apple will remove software the deliberately breaches their terms of service.

Epic knew it, and the chose to breach the terms of service on purpose to cause this effect. Epic intentionally triggered a contract term that they knew would result in their software being removed from their customer’s devices.

They were given an opportunity by both Apple and the court to restore their software to compliance and still get to continue the lawsuit.

This is 100% Epic’s responsibility.

They could have sued Apple without deliberately breaching the contract, but they chose to make their customers into pawns in their legal strategy.

No, that's not even remotely some sort of design rule. Business jets commonly have their engines mounted above the wings. Doing so can enhance lift in some situations.

When we interpret contracts, we're practicing a sort of 'originalism', though usually on shorter timescales. Is contract interpretation right-wing?
I wouldn’t count on it meaning anything. He has a long history of being fairly reasonable in interviews even while he promotes radical ideologues.
> Note that the people that live in Stolipinovo are Bulgarian.

Bulgarian (Greek, Macedonian, Hungarian. or other nationalities with nation-states) has two semantic meanings: citizenship and ethnicity. So it is possible for individuals to be Bulgarian citizens, but not of Bulgarian ethnicity. Or vice versa. Someone of Bulgarian descent born in USA won't be necessarily Bulgarian-in-the-citizenship sense.

So in the grandparent case, he obviously meant "non-Roma", without regards to citizenship.
The impact of electric vehicles is minimal compared to ICE vehicles. An ICE vehicle burns like 20 tons of fuel during its life time. An electric vehicle needs less than 10 kg of lithium, which can be completely recycled at the end of life. The next generation of Tesla batteries will be cobalt free and no lithium battery contains any rare earths. That is an urban legend.

Switching to electric doesn't mean to increase the number of vehicles, they are built instead of ICE vehicles. Ideally, we reduce the count a lot, but every single vehicle built needs to be electric.

The upcoming Lidl remote is very interesting indeed, because it has 4 buttons which could be wired to a regular 2 button up/down push switch (e.g. Gira 014700) as cheaper friends of hue alternative.
It's possible, though, that this small proportion of wealth has a disproportionate effect on the political process, and then the political process has secondary effects on the wealth of non-billionaires.

To pick an extreme and unlikely hypothesis, it could be that if there weren't any billionaires corrupting politics, then the economy would be run in a better way which enabled everyone to become millionaires.

Originalists are usually in favor of more frequent amendments to the constitution, they're only against re-interpreting existing text in new ways.
I am overwhelmed with curiosity about what the animal would have been like if it had been allowed to live. Imagine that it was smart enough to speak or resemble humans even more closely than monkeys already do... imagine how earth shattering that would be. An entire race of beings to reconcile with. I wish they had let it live.
This can definitely be a good "bunk science" heuristic along with things like the laws of thermodynamics: If someone is proposing something that seems to break one of these laws/theorems, they'd better (a) realize it, and (b) have a pretty convincing way around it, or some amazing experimental results.

(Note, my work involves magnets and so probably see more than the normal number of crackpot inventors with magnet contraptions).
Still, unless you try to dodge taxes, I’d say only half - if that - makes it into your pocket.
Incredible photos and a great story. Thanks for putting this together. People forget all too easily how everyone in this world is trying to live their best life with the resources they have. That becomes exponentially more difficult when someone treats you as less of a person for whatever delusional reasons they rationalize in their minds.

I find it somewhat astonishing that you would be extremely insulted by the exclusion of your employer from some arbitrary acronym.

It's well known that Amazon hiring standards are the lowest of FAANG, just like G's hiring standards are lower than N (as a whole). That doesn't mean that everyone who is an SDE1 at Amazon is less talented than everyone who is an L3 at Google, it's just different means.

How to Identify Actionable Metrics vs. Vanity Metrics
The Army has nothing to with personal self-defense or protection of civil rights. Standing armies were the part of the motivation for the 2nd Amd.

There is plenty of 2nd Amd. scholarship that goes over all of this. Not saying you need to agree with the scholarship, but a lot of people have thought about his stuff and researched it deeply.

Gotchas statements re: "...well regulated...", cars are registered why not guns, restrict people to owning muskets, etc., are unhelpful.
Might be worth pointing out that those apartment buildings are everywhere in the ex-communist block. In various states of (dis)repair. I think they were called "comfort III" (with I being the best).

They're as bad as they look even when maintained.
Once an Apple product is no longer produced, driver support completely falls by the wayside.

I've done Mac IT for a long time and I've never seen this be the case.

To be honest, I've experienced this a ton of times with Windows, where the only driver available was for an older version of Windows and not the one the customer has.

I have a nearly 10-year old iMac and I never experienced what you're talking about.
Ouch. I feel you.

My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me when I was considering proposing. It totally knocked me off the rails for some time. Suddenly all my ideas for what the future held turned to dust. I can't imagine how much more of a gut punch it must be after 13 years, especially in our current world.

It's hard to suddenly have to try and define yourself, your life and your future without including that other person. It takes time, and effort, and a certain amount of deliberate action. Be kind to yourself, and take your time.

Covid makes all this so much harder. One of the things that helped me was getting involved with a local theatre company (doing the tech side of things). Just being with other people really helped, and doing something new was invigorating. I'm guessing that sort of thing isn't an option right now, but perhaps consider something like that next year. In the meantime, anything you can do, join or take part in that can give you a bit of purpose and structure to life outside of work will help. But I know all that is easier said than done right now.

If you need someone to unload on let me know. I didn't always have that and it sucked.

The only other thing I'll say is watch out for the booze and food. I feel lucky to have not fallen into alcoholism, but looking back I was closer than I realised at the time. It always gives me the chills thinking about how things nights have turned out.
Nostr – The final solution to Twitter censorship as an open protocol, not P2P
I think the root of all that goes way back. I've lived in Bulgaria for most of my life(with the exception of around 4-5 years during university). Back in the day when I was a kid and teenager(think 90's and early 2000's) gypsies were a big problem. I remember one summer when everyone went away for a holiday and there was just me and my mum in a 300 meter radius for around two weeks. A house was getting robbed every night during those two weeks. And we are talking pretty much the center of the capital.

That said, at some point(not sure when or how) that all changed. Now in the day-to-day life, gypsies cause no harm whatsoever. They are a minority and as such I have very little interaction with them but in the few instances I've had, they've always been very warm and kind and the once I've worked with have been incredibly hard working and devoted.

But even though I see a huge improvement, we need to look back a bit to see the root cause: I had the chance to meet some of my grand-grand parents and they all had roma friends when they were young in the early 20-th century. However there have been huge political campaigns against them(both socially and economically) between 1944 and 1989(even though those were flowered up as "integration" programs). I think what we see now is one of the many scars the regime left behind.

The supreme court partisanship is overstated. It's brought out all the time as though the sky is falling, but typically when the court is tilted, side-switching magically appears.

Roberts, Gorsuch, Kennedy, O'Connor and Souter all switched sides on major issues. Conservatives switch sides a lot more often, but perhaps because the court has been tilted towards Republican nominees.
First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.

No, it was a different role. The original data scientists were people who could both run large scale social science experiments and write mao reduce jobs to analyse them.

Unfortunately, it was such a great name that everyone stole it, and they eventually had to call all of their analytics people data scientists (as otherwise they couldn't hire).

I remember being very angry when they changed all the product analytics people to be data scientists as many of them (the ones I knew, at least) we're strictly SQL monkeys.

Yeah, the author had plenty of time to convert their GH app to a GH action, and given their comment about how they rely on it for monetization, one would think the author is incentivized to do just that
Honestly, though the ethics are certainly dicey, I do wonder whether recreating a bridge intelligence between man and animal would raise appropriate societal questions that we've chosen not the think about all of modern history (lacking any sort of Neanderthal cohabitant).

It might help us all be in more relation with the world. Our lack of relation feels to me to be part of what's driving us into this extinction event. A "monstrosity" that convinces us to rethink the moral rights of other living creatures would perhaps be welcome...?

Maybe it ends up being the unasked-for bastard creature that saves all the others (incl us) from us, just by making us slow down and go "hold on hold on hold on. what THE FUCK?"
Or even from the internet with no media at all.
Feels like the beginning of the Uplift Saga. Spooky times.
The important difference is that the developer actually put effort in making the program you are talking about, so them not wanting to waste their time in supporting you is not equal to you feeling entitled to their time. Your only effort in the entire discussion would be to decide if you want or not to take advantage of the program to solve your problem, which is certainly less than the effort the developer put to create the program (otherwise you'd just be making the program yourself).
Would you please consider using heretics instead of the energy wasting climate change deniers?
