> But some days I get so angry, I rage against the phone. I say the iPhone is evil. It’s stealing her childhood.

> ...

> The worst part is that our child has changed. She used to rush to our bed as soon as she woke, demanding cuddles and to “Talk Friends.” We played with puppets and stuffed animals in the morning, getting the “friends” to sing and act out scenes from plays like Robin Hood and Beauty and the Beast. We all got involved. Those days are gone. I understand she’s probably too big for “Talk Friends,” but it’s heartbreaking watching her race into our room each morning to grab her phone.

The problem is not the phone. The problem is making the child choose between attachment and authenticity. She doesn't run to you anymore because you're constantly fixated & raging about the phone. Not because she prefers her phone to her parents. You've told her it's not safe to be herself around you.

> I expect Apple to role out its own gaming console by 2nd or 3rd gen. There’s so much potential here. One of the most underrated Apple announcements in a very long time. I haven’t been this excited for Mac since they announced OS X!

I would be shocked if this happened, since Apple has no ecosystem of game developers whatsoever.

Both the newest xbox and the PS5 are for the most part backwards compatible with the massive base of xbox one and PS4 games, since they're a shared x86_64 architecture.

Microsoft has the huge advantage that games can be developed for both windows and the xbox at the same time, with the same libraries. This goes all the way back to the origins of the first xbox which was nearly named the DirectX box.
I was 100% convinced my kids won't get these devices until their very late teens, when I saw how my less than 1 year old reacted to the phones my wife and I use. Because his reaction is pure instinct, the dopamine response just to the colors and brightness was shocking.

We now have to work HARD to keep these devices away from him. Part of it, of course, is he observes how much attention we pay them but his eyes definitely light up differently when they are turned on. And that's without the manipulative, 1000-engineers-optimizing-for-your-addiction software built into them.

I honestly find it harder and harder to believe these things do anything positive for us. I 100% believe they can I just think we've turned them into something ugly, right now.

Boy, this article is really getting on the nerves of some first-world people! :p
I am a generalist, so I can do a lot of things reasonably well, but nothing with particular expertise. So when I'm working alongside specialists -- people with extraordinary depth in one particular aspect of technology -- it can be easy to feel like, "I shouldn't even be here. They're going to figure out I'm a fraud." In those cases, I try to remind myself that my breadth is just as important as their depth.

I have sat in on job interviews where the candidate was asked questions that I felt confident I wouldn't have been able to answer if I were the one in the hot seat, and that definitely triggers feelings of imposter syndrome. But in many cases, the best response to that isn't "Oh my gosh, I shouldn't let anyone discover that question is too hard for me" but "Could our hiring process be screwed up? Is this really the right question to be asking? Is it more of a gotcha question or does it have real relevance to the position?"

Over time, having been in many job interviews as both a candidate and an interviewer, I've come to see how much of a difference it can make to say to yourself, "Even if you're completely right that you're an imposter, let's just pretend that you're not and see how far you get." I'm now at a point in my career where I have enough successes under my belt that it's a little easier to reassure myself, but whenever I hop into a meeting, I still feel like I'm jumping into character, pretending to have confidence even if I don't. I have mixed feelings about that strategy, though, because pretending to have a level of confidence in my abilities greater than I actually have might be a contributor to other people's imposter syndrome. But maybe the solution to that is to be willing to "take off the costume" in frank conversations, to clear up any misconceptions.
Because purchasing power parity has nothing to do with selling labour and work is what should be compensated. Purchasing power is none of the employer's business. Purchasing power means what you want it to mean. Will Apple adjust it prices to reflect on the local markets?
Yes.

What is your definition of “tech bro”? The post comes off to me as someone who is humble, introspective, interested in technology, interested in testing out new ideas, and interested in getting better. Not sure what’s “tech bro” about any of that, but maybe that means I’m a tech bro, bro! /joke
The answer to the direct question of "What was it [master] meant to convey?" was '"master" as in e.g. "master recording".'

There's no "likeliness" or "influence" in that direct answer. That's pretty straightforward.

The fact that he "wished many times" he picked main instead has no bearing or relevance on why "master" was chosen.
> I am curious if any vim user has ever been able to see the benefits of other environments.

Yes they can. Let me list them:
1) Familiarity
2) Ready out if the box, less effort
3) For specific languages and projects, you can't do it vim. Javascript is not one of those. Maybe android development is.

> I am saying if I tried to start using vim today on the projects I'm working on the experience would be seriously inferior.

Correct, it would be a BIG pain, and I know because I have done it. It sucks hard. But if you suck it up and start molding this extremely flexible editor to your needs, after a few months you will get a far superior experience than your out-of-the-box IDE. The most important aspect of all is that you reason differently about writting and editing text, in a much more efficient way than normal.

But by no means do I judge people for not doing it, as I said in my initial comment, everyone has their needs. Vim turned out to give me great power and comfort after all and I can barely go back to another editor. Maybe it's not the same for you. All is fine.
Unfortunately it looks like they're taking the opposite approach, and phasing out even AMD drivers, with eGPUs apparently (?) not supported on M1 devices. It seems they want to phase out all non Metal APIs.

(Which is to say, I bet the return of eGPUs on mac will only happen if apple releases a discrete Metal-based GPU)

It makes sense, so far as it means they can further integrate hardware solutions they make themselves and not deal with a higher level driver interfaces. Otherwise they'll be limited to incorporating features present in all supported vendors.
i recall reading that guid cause write to be spread to many B-tree pages. This cause most page to be mostly empty (fragmented) wasting space and slowing query.

Also once pages start to fill the majority of insert would cause page split instead of having an amortized cost...

I like the idea of GTD, but when you are not given a set of priorities, the whole thing falls apart.

Say you have a startup in California and are thinking about hiring me remotely.

It's completely ridiculous that you say "Okay I'll give you $100k if you live in NYC, but only $60k for the same work if you live in the Rust Belt."

If it makes economic sense for you to pay me $100k, making that conditional on where I live is just a jerk move.

As someone who actually does live in the Rust Belt, it feels like these tech companies are saying "Yeah we're going to actively try to keep the wealth created by our business models concentrated in the coastal cities we like, and keep the rest of the country poor."

Thought experiment: I have a friend in NYC. I tell the company "Yeah you should totally pay me $100k, I live in high-CoL area, $FriendsAddress is my NYC address." Then I simply don't tell anyone at the company I'm actually doing my job from somewhere in West Virginia or Indiana or Wisconsin. How would the company even know the difference? On the rare occasion the company or someone sends me some work-related postal mail, my friend can simply forward it to me.

In practice I wouldn't do this. I'd simply walk away from a company that uses this offensive hiring practice on me.
> Telling Eric Schmidt (while at Google) to "go fuck yourself" and walk out the door to never return was the most empowering thing I have ever done.

That sounds like an interesting story. Any more details?
To be honest, I didn't realize it was that expensive for an individual (we might have some sort of team pricing -- I'm not sure what my seat cost but I assumed it was cheaper than that). At that rate, you're probably better off with a $400/y budget for paper O'Reilly books.

That said, it is fun to be able to randomly access books on a topic without having to decide whether or not to buy them.

You've haven't solved the problem though -- just kicked the can down the road -- somebody could come along explain that their offended by the terms "primary" and "secondary" as it implies one is above the other when they prefer to see equality and no offence caused.

When that happens you'll find yourself in the same position as us now who are saying the term "master" when discussing source control or HDD configuration is appropriate. Perhaps the answer is to understand that not everything is offensive even if interpreted initially that way. Nor does someone who claim to be offended actually have more skin in the game or more to their argument.
Im with you. I had the full 4 wisdom teeth removed at once and I got by just fine with ibuprofen. However, you have to understand that like most things in biology, there's a bell curve which exists for measureable pain tolerance. There are definitely people who find that level of pain unbearable in the same way you and I might find a hot poker unbearable. It's not irresponsible as a provider to offer pain meds for that.

>All in all, them saying these things are "real world" would be a huge overstatement at best.

What your list shows is that caches are huge these days. Because 24MP JPEGs are very much a real world scenario when most cameras sold in the world have half that resolution.

But sure, go ahead and pick another industry standard benchmark of your choice.
Let's see how the M1 fares.
Completely disagree.

They understand hardware design and have a larger (and more accessible) software distribution platform than the ps5 and Xbox combined.

Many ALREADY use Apple products as a gaming platform.

They have now wiped the floor with CPU performance. If they can provide comparable GPU performance (they are ONLY a generation behind), then I absolutely think they could compete in that arena.
You're taking one example and generalizing it. I'm sure someone did something productive with cocaine once too, but that's not generally its outcome. (just a random example that occurs to me, I do not agree with the "War on some drugs" btw it was just an example)
It seems like you have narrowed your point all of the way down to "generalizations about truth are bad because humans are not omniscient".

People make generalizations about truth because they are not omniscient. Social cues combined with critical thinking allow me to believe that over a billion people live in India even though I have never been there. Something is broadly considered a conspiracy theory when there is broad evidence for it being false and circumstantial evidence for it being true.

You are absolutely hiding behind generality by not defending any specific conspiracy theory. Assertions of the forms you mention do not on their own distort the public's perception of reality.

The Earth IS round. The Holocaust DID happen. These statements do not distort the public's perception of reality. Quit hiding behind rhetorical tricks and give an example statement that does distort the public's perception of reality.
Nice, maybe we can start embracing more sensible ways of feeding people that the ridiculously inefficient restaurant model with cooks, servers, individual food choice and individual tables.
There are, as I understand it, certain notarization entitlements for APIs that Apple will only grant for App Store apps, such as VPN apps. This is the first I've heard of functionality being restricted to MAS apps (and prohibited from signed/notarized apps that are downloaded outside of MAS).

I was told this by the WireGuard team when I inquired why the WireGuard macOS VPN app is only available via MAS and not direct download (such as the Windows wg client).

I'm not 100% sure it's true, though, and am testing now. ProtonVPN claims to be working, with packet filtering for non-VPN traffic (kill switch) on 11.x, and they've a direct download, so it's possible that the wg devs are mistaken.

Apple leadership is answering in the implied context of "someone with an Apple ID". I'm never using my Apple ID again on a mac for any reason.
Exactly. This is what disillusioned me about information technology as well.

Kinda off-topic, but I wonder if the adoption of DNS-over-HTTPS will eventually solve the ossification problem you're referring to by moving DNS resolution to the application level.

Fermentation is also pretty quick - if you know what you're doing, you can turn around a very tasty 5% beer in a week. Growing cannabis requires months, plus time to cure.
Also, baking, in general, requires a lot more discipline than cooking (esp. to the quantities of ingredients, substitutions, etc.)
> Why would Apple need to "put a lot of work in"? Apple doesn't support Linux on 86 either. Third parties did the Mac Linux ports for 86, and will do them for the ARM Macs.

Because ARM SoCs are fundamentally different than 32-bit and 64-bit x86 machines. The prime difference is the lack of an enumerable bus that even some ARM servers have, but are missing in ARM SoCs.

I bought an x86 Mac when they were first released and I was able to boot an Ubuntu live CD when I got it. No work was needed to get a mainline kernel running on a x86 Mac, but work was needed to support things like Apple's SMC and cameras etc.

> The only thing Apple needs to do is to not lock the ARM Macs from booting another OS, which is very easy to do -- Apple doesn't need to invest lots of work to run Linux on ARM Macs, just needs not to prevent it.

This is not true. Given the lack of an enumerable bus, someone will need to either fork the kernel and hardcode addresses for hardware, or someone will need documents to build out the DeviceTree. If hardware doesn't conform to existing standards, which nearly every ARM SoC follows their own, someone will need to do further work port the kernel to the machine. All the special deviations from standards that Apple baked into their hardware either needs to be documented accurately, or Apple needs to put the work in to get mainline Linux running on their SoCs.

This is a general problem in the ARM SoC and Linux space, and is not unique to Apple's SoCs. There are millions of ARM SoCs that are either stuck on old kernel forks because vendors never put the work in to get mainline Linux to support their SoCs, or they will never run Linux at all, ever. I don't even think all of the Raspberry Pi models have mainline support yet, and those that do only have it because of the work put in by the RPi Foundation, which has access to some vendor documentation, but I don't believe all.

To get an idea of the scope of the problem concerning Linux support on ARM SoCs, check out this presentation[1].

Even if you don't accept "can't", "don't" is pretty reasonable IMO.
Just keying in on the school portion draining you of energy, I think of just my high school English classed alone. Read a Novel a month and have weekly tests. Between that write a 5 page paper about the literary elements of each chapter. Fall behind a bit and good luck catching up with all the other work thrown at you. Try to bring this up to a teacher and you get told "What another teacher assigns isn't my responsibility." Bring it up to administration and be told "We trust our teachers to do what is best".

Those who had internet turned to sparks notes, got good grades, good grades meant scholarships and an easier time in college. Those without went further in the hole as they were most likely working after school and trying to bring in extra money to help the family.

Between all of this, it is easy to find yourself mentally exhausted where all you want to do is endlessly scroll things. I can even find myself being drawn to social media when I have had a particularly stressful day at work. Come home exhausted, sit down, scroll, scroll, scroll. Think about the stuff you want/need to do, realize scrolling just requires thumb movement and no thought. Put the phone down after an hour or two and wonder where your evening went.

Ultimately teaching youth responsible habits, whether they be a phone, computer, or anything, is on the parents, but, outside forces really don't make things easier.
"In contrast, Mendelian randomization studies generally suggest that there is no safe level of alcohol intake."

I believe this is the case. The idea that moderate alcohol consumption is "healthy" or beneficial in some way is a misunderstanding of their data.

What we see is the following:

People who drink no alcohol at all and people who abuse alcohol have, generally, poorer health outcomes than people who drink, but do not abuse, alcohol.

The poor health outcomes for the alcohol abusers needs no explanation.

It is the poor health outcomes of the abstainers that is misunderstood: they're simply not robust, or constitutionally enabled, to drink even small amounts of alcohol without feeling bad.

So my conclusion is that the abstainers are not having poorer health outcomes because of the absence of alcohol - they're having poorer health outcomes anyway.
Is it much more likely that there is a difference in how your thermostat is placed or there was better insulation (so that heat ends up more even).

Nope.

You're mostly right, but you can get away with a lot of humor if it's not quite so low effort, but fwiw, your joke would have been better if you pointed out the 10gbe deficiency - I didn't realize that was a thing, but I also think it's pretty clear at this point that all these models are meant for lower end consumers, so the top-of-the-line needs are absolutely not in this round, and we're all well aware of that at this point.
2000 years ago and Plato would say that books ruins creativity.
Some great answers here. To add:

I felt like an imposter in prior jobs (product/bus-dev) until I built my own startup. Then I learned the hard challenge of building a reliable product that is used regularly, and is profitable. I know now that I am not the best at any of the steps involved but I know what it takes to be successful and can appreciate when others do so.

In sum: I was an imposter before because I achieved titles largely due to my general competence, work ethic, and academic qualifications. I stopped being an imposter when I deeply understood a specific field and gained key insights through much experimentation.

So - it's good that you pick up new things fast. Now focus on a problem you care about deeply and spend a few years working on it. That gets rid of imposter syndrome.
(We talk about 10x programmers, are there 10x machinists?)

Yes. Why wouldn't there be? Asking honestly?

A story, if you will-because I have a very intimate relationship with industrial machinists: My father was a certified industrial welder, pipe fitter and metallurgist for General Electric's gas turbine division for 32 years (he was also a licensed master electrician) He was the only individual in his functional team with the number of licenses and depth of mechanical engineering background to his name. He oversaw several manufacturing retrofits in their plant, and lead a team of 10 other engineers, all of whom through his time and tenure became family friends. I know all of their stories and backgrounds intimately.

When he left GE due to layoffs in the early 1990's, he opened his own shop and hired several of those machinists to come work for him. Despite getting to see this work daily, up close, and learn for myself the family trade of metal smithing (both of my brothers, my father, two of his brothers and my grandfather were all metal workers and passed down the trade through to my generation), I was the first to cross over the digital divide and go white collar as a full-time career, but I still have a strong appreciation for mechanized labor and I took this with me into automotive.

So, all of that said, to answer the question, I think yes, there absolutely are 10x machinists (I don't personally buy into the "10x" thing generally-at least not the way it is sometimes applied, but in alignment with your question, yes) and I remain firm in my objection that these people are less skilled because their skills are different or differently applied than ours as SWEs.
