Initially, Bootcamp for Intel Macs consisted of three things:

1. a BIOS compatibility support module (CSM) for Apple's EFI firmware, allowing legacy bootloaders and option ROMs to be used. (Macs released after the first version of Bootcamp came with a CSM out of the box, while earlier Intel Macs needed a firmware update to provide the CSM.)

2. a collection of Windows drivers for the peripherals shipped in Intel Macs

3. a graphical tool to assist with the process of installing Windows (partitioning, etc.)

Linux never needed (2), and (3) was always more of a convenience than a necessity. The need for (1) lessened over the years as both Linux and Windows gained full support for booting from UEFI without a BIOS CSM, and as Apple's firmware evolved to more closely resemble UEFI 2.x than EFI 1.10.

> Internet Explorer represents less than 1% of my work traffic according to Google Analytics. People will sometime spin this away by arguing that 1% of a large number is also a large number. If you have 100 million hits, 1% is 1 million hits! But the flipside is that 99 million hits are not Internet Explorer and are not helped by optimizations aimed at Internet Explorer.

1% is 1%. If you can’t find a better way to improve revenue by 1%, you’re in too narrow of a market fit.
I'm somewhat skeptical of this explanation since I went to a private secondary school in Australia where these pressures did not apply, and had the exact same experience with Biology where what we were taught was to memorize taxonomies that made me abandon the subject as early as possible.

Two Life Lessons from a Series of Unfortunate Events
The question no one is asking: Why is it necessary to complain first before Apple will address stuff like this?

The Apple corporation is like a gigantic dongle on every modern Apple computer. The computer out of the box does not work without being connected to the Apple corporation. Unless of course the user is a skilled nerd that stays up-to-date with the latest Apple design decisions and can perform a number of command line incantations to "disable the dongle".
The benchmarks here are for training it says.
There's an elite class of car buyer called "whales" that live on the coasts and they are the use case for a car that keeps itself between the lines while the driver is abusing alcohol + xanax + otherwise behaving badly.

"An important developed nation is picking a new fighter. Let's know nothing until it's over with." is hardly good stewardship of your own nation's trust and resources. It's the NSA's job to monitor who is friends with whom so policy makers can make policy.

That's not to say the NSA should do anything they can. But it is their proper job to spy on non-Americans for America.
With you 100%. Things have gotten... weird... in the past 8yrs or so. 13 yrs as a SWE here. Self taught in tech, programming since I was a freshmen in highschool, majored in business in my undergrad but stuck with tech for a career. What's next is the big question. I enjoyed my last gig, 4 years at a startup, massively more than I do now at at an 'elite' tech company where I'm 5 yrs in. It's just so fucking annoying and tedious. The only problem is I need to stick it out for 5 more years or so to be financially independent and work for myself. What kills me is the knowledge that if I played the game properly, I could already be there. Now, I have to decide on if I throw away 5 years, or eject and take the risk to do my own thing now. I'm giving it one more year to make that decision. At this point, I feel like it will come down to a coin flip, where I will pray for whatever side is the eject button while the coin is mid air.

What's your plan if you quit tech?
Only a few things are different in Chrome. Notably, it has the ability to send crash reports and metrics, play proprietary audio codecs, some Google API keys are added (eg. safe browsing, speech, web store), and the Widevine component to enable DRM. Nothing is different in the core code of the browser.

I like to watch things as I work, this one's not for me but I'll admit to watching many shows I'd consider "Ambient TV". The entire Stargate series makes for pretty good background noises while programming IMHO.
Why not use your skills to help a budding startup? The ground floor is almost all dirt and plants, no fancy infrastructure or elevators yet, but it is also the best time to join in on the fun.
Wonder if I'm the only one surprised by their actual revenue model. I had always assumed they made money off loan interest from consumers which they do, but it turns out over half of their 2020 revenue came from merchant fees instead.

I just went through the Peloton flow to see for myself and indeed there's a 0% APR option for 3 years so it's clearly being paid for by Peloton.

It also explains to me why people might choose to use Affirm even if they could afford the upfront cost.

Apple should just close up the App Store for good and let everyone build their own billion user marketplace from scratch.

At this point I’m certain rival companies are paying people to pretend to whine about anything Apple does, to make them do exactly that.
I don't know about the US spying on Israel, but Israel and the UAE actively spy on the US, and this arrangement is pretty much allowed. I do know that US embassies in both places "monitor" their host countries, which is significantly different from spying and intercepting comms.

His novelization of Aliens was cracking, very exciting.
I had a class on human development where the professor went in the exact opposite direction on this point. Alcohol is basically a mild poison, but it doesn't trigger morning sickness in pregnant women, which you'd think it should given the negative effects it has on the fetus. The lack of evolved response suggests that widespread alcohol consumption is actually a relatively recent development for human beings.
In 1957 there was a television for just about every 5 Americans, an average family size of 3.6 and not that much programming to watch.

As sibling commenters have commented, yeah, the higher-security rooms used Medecos instead -- they had not only up * down for the pins but also directional slant (don't really know how to describe this, but pretty and much harder to copy or pick). But also, think through student motivations: I used my master to get into the steam tunnels, to find cool things, to gain access to the old wind tunnel, to find space to make art, to win at capture the flag. Who wants personal info or allegations of misconduct? And moreover, isn't the computer a much lazier vehicle for finding such info?
This makes sense when you consider the history of C. Multi-threading was a relatively late add on, and outside of the standard library.

When I learned C (early 90's), multi-threading wasn't even something you considered. It was either multiple processes or an event loop with select/poll.
How many of them are unable to use a new browser? Long back our enterprise app didn't work on IE6, our stance was, "yeah it does not, install Chrome". I don't think we ever lost a deal because of it.

That is why we need the education to identify and expose propaganda. Something most governments have either completely ignored or severely neglected in public education because of how useful and successful their own propaganda has been in shaping public ideas and narrative.
It has been done studies of education and gullibility. Sadly enough people who has some education, like a masters degree, was more gullible then people who lacked education. It was first at PhD-level that education seemed to help.

The explanation was that people with some education become prideful and believed they know more then they did, easy targets for gullibility. But people lacking education had often street smarts and was less susceptible. And the ones with phd:s had learned how complicated things really are and was often reluctant to take a hard opinion about things they did not know much about.

I hope OSM does well, and I've heard that in some areas (Germany? Various areas in smaller countries that are less well covered? Bike trails and walking trails?) it's notably better than Google Maps. That said, in my neighborhood of San Francisco (the Mission), its business listings are basically straight garbage, and I'm reminded of that every time I use any service that's based on OSM.

Lazy Bear is a two Michelin starred restaurant that's been in its current location since 2014. By any reasonable measure it's a significant business in the area. OSM still thinks it's the barbeque place that used to be there. Within a two block radius I count maybe 5-6 places that OSM promotes to having a label on the map that have been closed for over a year.

I used to work on business listings in mapping products so I have some idea of how difficult keeping business listings up to date is, but OSM is so bad that it wrecks my motivation to fix the data because I just can't fathom ever using it in my local area.
You can still use a flip phone and a desktop PC running arch Linux.

Most users , even some of us can accidentally break a Linux install. Saving me from myself is what IOS effectively does. Look at the Android fortnite fiasco with users installing the wrong app and getting malware on their phones.

Even open source smart phones exist. Your more than free to custom write your own software on them.
Yes, but the misunderstanding was that an option like "Permissive Security" wouldn't exist - that you would have no possibility of anything but MacOS. It does exist, but Apple's just not going to help you with that.

Also, to unlock your Mac:
1. `csrutil disable` to disable SIP
2. `sudo spctl --master-disable` to disable Gatekeeper and allow apps from anywhere

And finally, the whole thing about MacOS Spying on every app you opened and bypassing VPNs - turns out, both stories had some fake news to them. It was actually the developer certificate (not the actual app), and Apple has announced they are building a new protocol with more failsafes to prevent a repeat of the previous incidents. As for the "bypassing VPNs," that's actually not true at all. System-wide VPNs still do work in Big Sur, it's just that the API that Little Snitch used for app-specific traffic redirects doesn't work on system apps (although system apps still respect system-wide VPN settings).
They don't like some patterns, I suspect that straight dark lines are detected as possible drops

According to [1], Android makes up 60% of the US smartphone market share; but you're comparing many different brands of phones, all of which use Android, to the iPhone which isn't exactly fair.

You can see that the iPhone is still has the largest smartphone market share in the US.

Also, bear in mind that Android phones thrive in less rich countries like Mexico [2] or the Philippines [3]. The price of the iPhone is perhaps the largest burden for these people, but I'm willing to speculate that if given the choice, most would favor iOS over Android.

But at least she got silenced for doing something blatantly wrong. She took their picture, posted on a public forum without addressing the people or anyone else locally.

This is why this type of call-out culture is bad. You attack first, the damage is done, often excessive damage, without addressing the issue locally. It would have been different if they had done something wrong, she gets ignored by the police, THEN calls them out.

The other issue with these public witch hunts is they are random. Some people get no traction, others hunted down. This lack of consistency is a horrible way to enforce rules which may or may not have even been broken.
HTML and CSS are inseparable. Or at least, CSS can't do anything without the proper references in HTML anyway.

And you're likely using IDs and classes already to target, so instead of typing the name in HTML and the styles in a stylesheet, why not just condense into typing the style as a class name in the HTML?

This carries you pretty far while you can still customize as necessary. I do skip tailwinds when I'm not working in a component framework since I can type less verbose CSS, or if there's a complex situation that needs more control.
> That is how batteries perform at a certain age.

Ok, and customers should still be informed of whatever it is that you think the situation is, and they should be allowed to purchase a replacement.

> This feature is designed to always get the most out of a battery. Is that really something to complain about?

They should have still told the customer and allowed people to buy a replacement.

> I guess this is where it's a perspective issue.

No. My perspective is not that. Instead my perspective is that the consumer should have been told about that, and offered the ability to buy a replacement.
Ah, you see, I am of course waiting for the paper edition to actually read the article.

(Or more precisely, to keep it in a stack on the shelf for months, then throw away.)
Given their extensive history posting similar promotional material every time that they run out of cash, it would be wise to remain skeptical of this announcement.

For the unacquainted, they've made outrageously false claims like this more times than I can count. I don't have the time or interest to outline all the lies but here's when it "began shipping" back in 9/2019.[0][1] As to the one person in the forums who claims to have received it, and the other on reddit who claims to have a tracking number, we've seen that before as well.

Yes, but if you read the article you can see that much of the phone's interruption in their lives is their kid making videos. That kid is creating content. Children under the age of 13 certainly shouldn't be on TikTok but that's not the parent's fault, that's the platform's.

Preventing your children from accessing social media is taking away their support network. If you're as strict as you say - and refusing to let your son take his phone out of the house is strict - he's certainly not going to trust you because _you don't trust him_. Your job as a parent is to let your kids grow, not to put these kids of boundaries on them. Let them look up to you for advice, not look to you every five minutes to see if what they're doing is allowed. If you were parenting well you wouldn't need to put more than a couple rules on your kids because they'd be good people anyway. They won't have those kids of rules on them as adults.

There are two people I know in real life with parents more strict than mine (and my parents aren't as strict as you); one of them has grown to develop anger issues and the other has such little life experience that it's sometimes hard to talk to them ("what's X?", "what's Y?").
It's the truth. Unilateral control is the reality, and I'm interested in exploring how to harness it to improve the lot of humanity.

For example, I think Stripe should be able to compete with Apple to be a payment provider on Apple's platform.

As I said, I would be a fine with a world where if Tim Cook doesn't want to play by the government's rules, he is jointly and severally liable for Apple's debts. There are real benefits that come with being a corporation. There need to be responbilities to society as well.

At one point I was one of many responsible for rending cache tile sets for all of NZ to 1:500. Sadly the whole system was scraped for a propriety solution mostly due to front-end issues, that funnily enough the propriety solution only multiplied.

Funny I would have recommended firefox about a year ago, its hot garbage now. They destroyed the UI and user flow, destroyed bookmarks and downloading from browser recently. Hot. Mess.

Also mighty fishy 3 new accts created to say the exact same thing at the same time, especially as it's no longer truly viable IMO.

Just the other day I posted an ask hn about how to export saved login data/bookmarks from firefox which used to be easy as could be- they have now completely removed the capability.

Firefox is now run by MBAs and is the new IBM.

Ah yes, the recurring obsession hacker news has with biology - except that no startup would pay a biologist a software engineer's wage. Talking about biology is nice. But what's nicer is dismantling the elephant in the room.
I think tailwind is the first thing I’ve ever realized I’m a hipster about. I’ve been using it since early on and bought tailwind UI the instant it came out. I love it.

But now that’s it’s super popular I can’t help but wish it was still a quite little secret. Every other product hunt or show hn seems to be using tailwind with all the default configurations so they all have the tailwind look, just as every new startup used to have the bootstrap look.

And there are so many tailwind UI knockoffs and tailwind tutorials out there it is insane.

I’m super happy for Adam and all the success he and the team are having. Tailwind is a truly great library and now ecosystem.
Sadly (or not), the deductable changed and it's not as worthwhile unless you really go for the gold. I heard maybe it changed with recent laws?

That's deep man. Really deep. You seem to speak out of a deep wisdom there. I assume you've experienced it then as well.
This post sheds light on a very simple but important age old lesson. Judge people by what they do, and not what they say.

While corporations like FaceBook would purport to have liberal values, in reality they hold these beliefs only insofar as it furthers their own financial well-being. While the elites in this company seek to concentrate wealth and power, those at the bottom receive scorn and poor working conditions. Image having to work such an emotionally draining job, and not being given the mere dignity of being a full-time employee.

This sounds rather dehumanizing in my view. You are just there for labor, and they will do everything they can to minimize the amount of monetary value that they provide to you. This means humane working conditions, inclusion, respect, and psychological support and are all liabilities for them.
If you have the Affirm app on your phone it isn't too surprising! They have a full e-commerce platform setup with numerous brands. I've used Affirm for years to help build my credit with 0 APR and I'm a very happy customer. Excited about their future.
Now that's what I call a loaded question.

You're right, they technically don't. But they ban everything that can be even remotely interpreted as "offensive". To give you one example, I got banned for pointing out the appeal to nature fallacy. I've said that rape and murder is technically natural and yet it's not socially acceptable. Literally just that. Nothing less, nothing more. But someone either misinterpreted that simple sentence or found it offensive because of the context of the conversation, and thus I got banned.
> The judge said: “The case dismissed. You got what you deserved.”

this story really bums me out - I thought judges were supposed to interpret the essence of situations like this and say something like "nice try Paramount but I say you owe this man $10M" gavel slam.

Users don’t care about indie crap as long as they get their Facegram and Instabook.

The harsh truth is that indie devs need access to Apple’s users, not the other way around.

And so you have to play by the policies that attracted those users to Apple in the first place, which includes the App Store with all its glorious kinks.
