> Animated ads in the start menu tiles

I wouldn't know, I removed the default tiles and I'm just using stuff I manually pinned.

> I've had to upgraded and restart almost every other day for 4 weeks

My uptime currently is 7 days, last reboot was me wanting to manually upgrade to 20H2. YMMV.

> There are ads that keep reapparing in the tiles on update

Hasn't happened to me.

> there are constant popus reminding me to log in to my windows account

I'm using a local account, I don't get any popup to log in using my Microsoft account.

> nVidia ads popping up in the lower-right corner

How? I've never seen this in my life. I'm running an NVIDIA card.

> MSoft ads popping up in the lower-right corner

I think I got the "you should upgrade to New Edge" popup once, doesn't appear anymore because I did (I wanted to try it out)

> Also, day one: tried installing some LabView software and BSOD

No BSOD yet, but YMMV, drivers can vary in quality.

> Starting a new app takes about 15~30 seconds

I wouldn't know. I've got 64 GB of RAM and a fast NVMe. Nothing loads in more than one second from cold start for me.

The idea is that 1+1 proof is made without the mathematical apparatus(High-level language) available after 1+1, i.e. its like a huge Assembler bootloader made from verified primitives(logical primitives) to load an operating system with High-level API(Mathemathics).

Wait... it's only in phase 1?

Pfizer is in phase 3 and that's where they test tons of people.

Pfizer is more certain in efficacy.
I do web dev and use the X1 Carbon, dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10 Pro (which I never use). Came from 15'' MacBook Pro and see no reason to go back.
They didn't claim it wouldn't impact revenue. Just that there are probably bigger issues that impact more revenue that should be worked on first from a purely ROI point of view.

If and when this issue has a higher ROI than anything else, it should be worked on. The flow of new issues with higher ROI may prevent that from ever happening.

I think every developer can easily name 5+ minor bugs in a product they're working on that they know exist and know roughly how to fix, but may never get around to fixing. Or maybe I'm the weird or unlucky one, but that's been true of every production software I've ever worked on.

What can be argued strongly, I think, is that ROI calculation should take into account secondary effects such as the app's reputation in the country or the appearance of discriminating against a country.
I find it worrying that the side effects of leaving Mullvad enabled are that the keyboard takes longer to wake from sleep. What the hell is going on here?
Ultimately when it comes to craft, one has to find some value in the work, not just the product which ultimately doesn't matter much. Making trinkets, music or software no one needs is no more valuable than a game. I like the general trend of a push toward creation vs consumption, but a sport/game can have a higher level of engagement and challenge, which is a nice mental workout and also offers social outlets.

Add to the fact it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. You can make shit and play games too.

There have been similar threads actually about reading, e.g. "don't waste so much time on literature, it's overrated, do other rewarding things". You can extend the argument to anything you want.

The question of "value" seems personal.
It's something that sounds like a great twist in a drama. The bad guy looks on in horror as he realizes that the people who he's been maliciously declaring dead so that he can steal from them are also immune from legal consequences from taking revenge.

Of course in real life I bet they "realize" you're alive all of a sudden.

Which does make me wonder if that's not a legitimate way to "come back to life". Like if you commit a small crime are they just going to consider you a John Doe or kick you out of the country? Or are they going to do the leg work to declare you alive?

Or for that matter, maybe you can just turn yourself into the IRS for evading taxes. Would that make things better or worse?
It's contrarianly cool to interpret Apple's "pivot to services" to mean adopting the privacy-invading Google/Facebook business model but that's probably not happening in reality.

[Note: data to May]

"With our consistent and comparable analysis, we identified four groups of countries in terms of the overall death toll of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first group comprises countries that have avoided a detectable rise (with a posterior probability of at least 90%) in all-cause mortality and includes Bulgaria, New Zealand, Slovakia, Australia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The second and third groups of countries experienced a low-to-medium effect of the pandemic on overall deaths and include Austria, Switzerland and Portugal (low effect) and France, the Netherlands and Sweden (medium effect). The fourth group of countries, which experienced the highest mortality toll, consists of Belgium, Italy, Scotland, Spain and England and Wales."
In large organisations, with lots of tape actually getting the ball rolling on what is proposed with all the sign offs, funds allocated, people/resource allocated for the tasks.... It takes months, not weeks.

They probably published this off the back of a signed off proposal and may start implementing off the back of it early next year.
I don't. I claim that if Apple does believe that, then OP's retort is bad.
That's cool. Thank you for taking the time.
>The work laptop is a maxed 15" macbook a year or two old, and it can barley handle video conferences, let alone bazel compilations

I was in a similar boat. Top spec macPro, all the bells and whistles...and the machine ground to a halt trying to compile anything. Rust was particularly bad, but the worst was trying to compile modules for ONOS, which needed some custom Bazel massaging to begin with. First time in my life the "compiling!" xkcd strip[0] was relevant to my life.

Thank you for offering your insights over the years here. I can very much understand how frustrating it can be and you articulated it spectacularly so I just wanted to tell you that you personally have posted many things over the years that I gained from. Thank you
Ok, I see what you mean now. Interesting. Do you know how much time one would have to stay outside to get, say, 5,000 IU?
I have auto updates and have only gotten one nag about it.
Android Lock-Screen Bypass (Lockdown Pro App Locker and Hi Locker)
These apps have over 2 million downloads and have crippling flaws which allow admin access.
If a Rails back-end streamed video, there wouldn't literally be a loop written in Ruby shoving bytes back and forth stored in Ruby arrays or buffers. It would be farmed off to something appropriate. You wouldn't necessarily want that machine to be doing it, using any middleware.
Apple making some of its components bypass application level firewall might need to occur given the reality that a modern os is a decentralized system -- but I really think the set of such code with this functionality should be minimized to the absolute smallest possible surface area -- and this behavior should be confined to a tiny set (or even a single) of system components ... "low latency clock coordinator component" or whatever the true architectural reason for the system to require unfettered network access is ...

It seems to me like ultimately the only use cases that should require bypassing network controls will relate to scenarios where there are architectural constraints imposed by the need to minimize latency - and minimizing latency needs to be possible ... so Whatever needs to happen at the architecture level to ensure minimal latency is going to need to happen -- but hopefully only those things ... -- and hopefully only in ways that are visible and decoupled from content-ful network transactions ...
More specifically, DKIM only validates that an email passed through a particular mail server.
It's still a terrible idea...
Calendar and Time-Zones in C++20: Time-Zones
Indeed, the editorial gives examples from the US:

"Suppression of science and scientists is not new or a peculiarly British phenomenon. In the US, President Trump’s government manipulated the Food and Drug Administration to hastily approve unproved drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir."
> People popping up out of the woodwork to argue passionately for an out-of-favor technology reeks of a dying industry trying to revive itself with public relations.

Yes. I'll probably get downvoted for saying it, but I want to get out in the open that the situation reeks of a PR/astroturfing campaign. There are a small number of ardent nuclear energy supporters acting in good faith, but a much larger army of paid trolls that have been active for the last few years. I mod on Reddit and have seen this happen daily. They post a pro-nuclear/anti-renewables talking point and then when you look at the account history, the account will be days old or have a clearly artificial history generated by karma farming (reposting old comment or short junk comments generated by computer).

It follows much the same patterns we saw with accounts pushing climate change denial on social media. Research later showed this was driven by bots and paid trolls.

> Is there any reason to believe that this isn’t just an industry group with a friendly, activist face

I can almost guarantee this is the case. So-called environmentalist Micheal Shellenberger is another example (made more clear when he came out as a climate change minimizer recently). It uses the same playbook that fossil fuel companies used to create artificial climate change skepticism.

At least one group of reporters is doing investigative research into this issue.

One litmus test to use: most nuclear energy advocates that are acting in good faith see it as part of an all-of-the-above energy solution that includes nuclear, renewables, and storage. The shill accounts break from this by trying to trash renewables while pushing nuclear energy.
Also a Hearthstone player here- I used to regularly hit top 200 legend on ladder. I think one of the biggest lessons that I got out of starting to get more into the competitive scene is that there's more to games than trying to be the absolute best and that I need to set my limits and figure out where I can have fun without letting something take over my life.

I've since cut back significantly on my Hearthstone playing and been able to apply similar thinking to other games I've picked up (for example Magic The Gathering: Arena). Games are for having fun not for endlessly trying to get better. That was probably a mentality that I picked up from years of MMORPG (Runescape) addiction.
So... no need for DKIM
Your understanding of science is pretty bad if you seriously believe there are no rational objections (re: long-term effects) to consuming a drug that didn't even exist a year ago.
> Unlike Windows, Mac OS updates come out more often, about once a year for major version, and every couple of months for minor version. Despite the marketing fanfare, they are not as big a change as say jumping from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Windows 10 has new major releases every 6 months, changes might be more minor than a typical macOS major release. Windows also gets security patches and bug fixes every month, those are comparable to macOS minor versions.
It was really inspiring and grounding to see a “Show HN” thread with Dropbox, pre-fame. Thanks!
I agree that there's nothing wrong with spending a week or two developing an MVP first.

I don't plan on spending more than 3-4 weeks building an MVP, which I'll start within 2 weeks.

An advantage that my current approach gives me is a few dozen low-commitment (but qualified) waitlist users that have shown some initial interest.

I obviously have some close friends that will try it out with their teams. But going distribution-first allows me to easily expand beyond that close circle to a more unbiased group of people.

Sure. But what authenticates the contract? Do you sign and scan them?
> libc = ctypes.CDLL("libc.so.6")

glibc SONAME is different on some architectures.

You can use ctypes.CDLL(None) instead, which should work everywhere.
Man, I just searched about that book, and it is like there is a world I don't know anything about. Would you mind sharing the names of your favorite books?
And for others you will get a Fields Medal (if you are younger than 40 years) and a Millenium Prize award on top of that ;)
The "firewalls" in the title of this thread refers to outbound application firewalls. There are products that behave like this on Windows, but they're typically part of a security suite which one may or may not want. Others are free and display ads or collect information about the user.

I've used two products in the past, NetLimiter and ZoneAlarm. Back then NL was just getting some basic firewall features, since its main feature was throttling the connection per app. I used ZA as a free product, but now I see they have a paid version.
Last time I checked a couple of years ago I also found GlassWire, but I didn't purchase it because it kept being detected as infected by VirusTotal and the dev didn't have a clue what was wrong.

Frankly I don't know how trustworthy any of these apps are - this is a big problem with security software on Windows - you don't know if the anti-malware is going to behave like malware.
How is this related to the article, or even the title? Except for "covid" ?
A class action is more about punishing the wrongdoing than any recovery.
I meant: authenticating a contract via email. I guess you sign and scan them?
You sure know how to beat around the bush.

Let's just be perfectly clear- if there was a virus that is 90% lethal and easily air-borne transmittable.. you are OK with infected people having "the right" to go anywhere they want in public and transmit the virus to others?
Like another poster below with Linux, every two years I purchase a Windows laptop (most recently an XPS 2 years ago) and try it out. And so far every time I’ve been so disappointed, from hardware quality, through coil whine, through WiFi that won’t connect, etc etc. The experience has been horrible.

I truly want what you say to match my personal experience... but sadly not. Mac has just been superior in every way.

And now with the move to Arm and seeing the benchmarks starting to come out, it seems yet another huge reason to stick with Apple.
> 1) Read the DKIM RFC.

> First of all the only field that it's required to sign is the From: header

OK, I've never looked into DKIM before, but 6376 looks fairly recent, and it reports the message body must be hashed. Now sure, there may be issues with the hash to allow arbitrary collisions, and of course the key may have been leaked or broken, and in any case today's key is unlikely to be secure against nation states now, let alone in 10 years time.

I agree in general the idea that having "DKIM signed" mails means they are authentic is an issue -- in 20 years time it will be easy enough for anyone to forge a DKIM signature for any email they want that they claim was sent today, but from what I can see the message body is signed.
Boulos OU Bruno?
It supports audio-only sites too. I personally sync my favourites on Mixcloud with it.
That is fair. But I think that the fraction of people who individually benefit from getting the vaccine is less than the 70% who need to get it, do there's going to be a gap that will need to be filled with lies, bullying and shaming.

Of course this depends on the unknown factor of how bad the side effects are, if they are nonexistent then it's a different story, but if they are on average as bad as a flu shot then it becomes tricky.

I suppose I'm really thinking in the context of countries like Australia which have essentially eradicated the virus. My risk of getting the virus right now is practically zero, so my only incentive to get vaccinated is that we can eventually reopen our borders once enough people are vaccinated. And personally I'm in no hurry to get flooded by foreign tourists anyway.
Unfortunately yes.

From the article:
>"What's bogus is that Space Karen didn't read up on the test before complaining to his millions of followers."

A lot of people are saying this, I would love to know how many people actually knew about how this test works before they criticized him.
Yeah... that's why I wait a few months to download any new update from Apple.

With the reports/articles about Big Sur and how it send data back to Apple, I am moving to PC.

I am not moving to PC thinking that Window doesn't do the same. It's just the line between Apple and Microsoft is slowly blurring.

The issue with Apple quality and dev friendly can be mitigated by good enough pc quality and linux vm. Apple is more and more tailor toward general consumers which led to more wall garden and questionable practices.
Most startup ideation follows the following sequence:

1. invent a bold new product

2. figure out how to market it

In other words, the "Eureka" moment is in the product ideation step, while the marketing step is basically a schlep. But the inverse approach might actually be better:

1. invent a bold new marketing strategy

2. figure out a product to sell with it

Don't assume that marketing is somehow a lower form of intellectual activity than engineering. It requires a strong aesthetic sense, a deep understanding of human psychology, mastery of technical tools, and the ability to be self-critical.
The "new" (late 2020/TigerLake 11th Gen) 13" Dell XPS has a 16:10 screen, goes up to 16GB of RAM (I surely wish it went to 32, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), great SSDs, can be configured to i7, and is officially supported to run Ubuntu.

Ars Technica's mini-overview: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/tiger-lake-is-coming...

Lenovo is also shipping laptops pre-installed with Fedora, if your tastes run to RPM instead of DEB Linux. And of course, both will run Windows + WSL 2 just fine.

I will say, however, that the post-butterfly key 13" and 16" MacBook Pros have great keyboards and work really well.
Do you think Apple does believe that?
Sure. So why do we need DKIM to authenticate contracts?
You pay for the service with money though, which is kinda the opposite of what Google/Facebooks services are.
I find it much easier to picture in relation to the unit circle. We're always moving at the speed of light, it just depends on whether that's at 1 second per second, 300,000 km/sec, or somewhere in between.

The omnipotence of God is true in Abrahamic religions, but it's not the case in many other religions, for example, Olympic Gods in Ancient Greece.

While I did not do this recently, I spent 8 years going through chemistry courses with some physics thrown in. Orgo was a weed out course but it was weeding out pre-meds rather than STEM people. The structure of the chemistry major at Penn was designed for chem majors - too many higher level or lab courses for the pre-xxx crowd. And 3 semesters of calc was required for p-chem and qm. Seems few willingly take calc courses...

In grad school (Duke) 1/7th of the student body took freshman chemistry. This was merely prep for the orgo weed out, and provided a lot of $$ for TA’s. As far as I can tell, both schools still operate this way.

And then there’s those lab courses - multiple 4-hour sessions a week since doing “cooking” or shooting spectra takes time. But playing with dye lasers was fun.

Repudiation doesn't seem to be desired by email users. Whether it's a valid encryption principle or not. The example crimes were not facilitated by this, but were merely verified. Had the DKIM keys been rotated, Podesta's emails would still have been stolen and leaked.
Vitamin D2 is produced in plants because they use that. Similarly, D3 is produced in animals because they use that. Supementation of D2 has no effect on how much D3 animals end up with.

From your 3rd link:

Total serum 1,25(OH)2D did not change significantly with either treatment (p>0.05, post-treatment vs baseline).

From your second link:

only 3 of 10 possible studies included in the meta-analysis were randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel intervention studies, which is the gold-standard design in nutrition research. Therefore, because of the lack of specific information surrounding the randomization and allocation of intervention to participants in all studies, there was an unknown degree of selection, performance, and detection bias.

A meta-analysis of RCTs indicated that supplementation with vitamin D3 had a significant and positive effect in the raising of serum 25(OH)D concentrations compared with the effect of vitamin D2 (P = 0.001).
I'm Italian and have been having breakfast with caffellatte (milk and coffee) for all of my life, but am probably lactose intolerant on some degree.

I just can't get the day started without the smell of breakfast.

It all depends on what time you wake up, I wake up very late when I'm not working and have breakfast even if it's 2pm.

No way I'm skipping it, if I'm out of latte, I go to a bar and have a cappuccino (milk for cappuccino is more creamy, so it taste better and make the popular foam, it's also a bit harder to digest but there's also less of it in a cappuccino than in a caffellatte)

No shame in it, bars are there to serve not to judge.

Contrary to what people believe you can ask for a cappuccino whenever you want in Italy, the only exception is meals, no cappuccino during lunch/dinner, no cappuccino immediately before or after it.

Usually Italians don't have a cappuccino after a certain hour because bars run out of brioche (we call them cornetti) and a cappuccino without cornetto it's almost not worth it.

And because if you have it to close to lunch or dinner, grandma is not gonna be happy that you are not eating your 30th fettina panata.

But it's 2020 in Italy too and there are a lot of options for lactose intolerant, one is skimmed milk, another is lactose free milk

They are both very populyar and every bar serve them.
