I disagree for several reasons.

1) Those with loans are not elites. Elites have their parents pay for school, they don't need loans.

2) budgets for public colleges have been annihilated over the last ~20 years. State governments used to pay a much larger share of tuition. Bailing out students loan debt would pay some of this gap indirectly

3) student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, unlike any other type of debt. "Debt slavery" is real. I know people that have permanently fled the country because there is no other escape from crushing debt.

4) Democrats are very limited in what they can do for relief. With Republicans stonewalling the Senate, they're basically limited to direct one-time payments. It's basically this or nothing
Have old RX560 on few computers. CentOS and windows are running smoothly. I even played Falllot 4 on the low setting 4K. No crashes.
Hmm, that's fair. I don't use iOS much myself, so I'm not very familiar with what's available on the App Store. It does appear that at least Swift Playgrounds allows for projects (including code, which is interpreted) to be downloaded off the Internet, extending the runtime beyond what is available "at time of review".

That said, briefly looking over some scripting/IDE environments not from Apple, it looks like most of them ship "batteries included" and don't allow for content to be pulled from online.

It seems to me the equivalent of iSH shouldn't be, say, a Python interpreter/IDE, but a Python runtime including pip and the ability to pull modules from pypi.org.

OTOH, Python itself is so reflective, I imagine there's probably some way to self-inject modules within a script, if you have any sort of web access. And since you can tunnel TCP over DNS, even a hostname lookup is enough. So I'll conceded the point, since most scripting runtimes probably have some kind of EVAL routine to invoke the interpreter, or a porthole into the interpreter's bytecode.

That said, my own original point was about developers/businesses feeling uncertainty about Apple's rules, and worrying if an app would even be accepted. I feel like almost any developer would instinctively thing iSH's premise of being a program interpreter for the Linux ABI would be rejected by Apple.

Whether or not the underlying rule is fairly applied aside, it's clearly something Apple wants to prohibit. Albeit, I'm kind of baffled myself at why, especially in iSH's case where the emulated runtime is completely separate from the "real program text", with no escape hatches out IIRC. Seems utterly ridiculous to me, especially when you can accomplish something similar in WebKit/JSC I'm sure, just not offline. :-/
> That's a bit like saying addictive drugs themselves aren't a problem.

I mean... They're not. They're inanimate f----- objects. They've never maliciously set out to cause someone harm because they're inanimate f----- objects. They don't have an understanding of the concept of morals or ethics because they're inanimate f----- objects.

When I ingest them into my body -- that's when all hell breaks loose. They become a problem for me when I use them.

> Technology is designed to trick humans into engaging with it. They use us for profit.

Who is this mythical "they"?

Technology is designed to do many jobs. Some of them include gamification to "maximise engagement" or some other cringeworthy buzzword. Some of them are literally as simple as "turn the lights off at 10pm" or "wake me up at 10am".

It's how we, as a collective species, implement and use technology that's usually the problem.

"technology" itself is, again, an inanimate f----- object.

> It's asymmetric warfare. One or two parents, with jobs and responsibilities, against kids with peer pressure and billion dollar industries hawking them on, claws in their back and brain.

I think this is called life? Yes, lots of things all happen at the same time and there's alway societal pressures one way or another.

But calling it warfare is pretty extreme and may be something useful to reflect on.
>It happens all the times, and it's called "good business".

I would have agreed with you if Apple had,

Paused and in any sort of PR, Marketing, or answer direct from the executive team that they are at least thinking about the issue. Except they double down on thinking they deserved that 30% if not more. ( Perfectly Fine )

Did not take hard stand against developers and thinking themselves as so righteous. ( Also Fine )

But then suddenly turn around and act like Santa to Help SME or smaller developers, when Apple are under pressure in multiple countries for their App Store policy.

May be Tim Cook did not realise, Apple has turned into hypocrite just like Google did in their Do No Evil era.
This is a teardown. The page includes lots of big, high resolution photos. Too much traffic per client.
What an odd article. I'd love to know more about the author's background where he's just now considering airflow in a home. Maybe it seems strange to me since I was in my late 30's before I lived anywhere that had air conditioning, so open windows, fans, cross-drafts, and general air flow were the norm.

I also want to see what happens when the author discovers the whole house fan. My very first house had one and it was amazing. Crack open a window in each room and activate the fan. Instant breeze and air circulation in every room with somewhere around 6-8 air changes per hour.
Emojis are what caused me to learn about unicode personally. We had a big bloated library handling emoji stuff for us in our product [0]. Then one day, someone said that they wanted the comment threads to behave more like Slack - that if only an emoji was typed in a comment (without any additional text), it should appear big, otherwise it should be small. This required detecting when text was only an emoji which required me to learn how the heck this stuff actually worked. Great experience and I'm forever indebted to emojis.

The share of iPhone for today's teenagers is much higher than the regular population. Much of it from the natural progression from old iPod Touches, where they built their accounts, apps etc.

Looks like 85% share in the US: http://www.pipersandler.com/2col.aspx?id=287&releaseid=18206
Pitch Deck Outline: What to Include
> then they should not stop that?

I think the opposite is true. The companies try to stop it precisely because it will weaken the company's negotiating position. I personally think unions have their place, but from an employers perspective there is little incentive to be pro-union (unless you are just arguing from a moral -- not pragmatic -- view).
These cards will be on top for at least a year.

Currently why would anyone buy AMD for $50 cheaper? You get nothing bundled with it and AMD's tricks are shit and their software is flaky.
Yes, our ears hear power not amplitude so phase isn't so important... except maybe for strange mixing products and reflections off of walls? OK the Audiophiles can hear some of that, but generally it's true if you're listening through headphones.
One of the hidden assumptions in "hire people that write well" is that people who write well would also likely have high reading comprehension skills. Or, the inverse—I find that the ones who want to jump on a quick call vs. writing out their request are the same people who seemingly don't read the documents I produce.

Quickly reading and understanding almost everything I can find—code, plans, schedules, calendars, strategy, memos—is how I excel in remote environments. It's not a huge time commitment, 20 minutes a day, but I have the organization's "state" modeled in my head, which helps me identify dependencies and potential bottlenecks before they're surprises.
$10 or so for a Red Hat Linux book circa 1996, which included an install CDROM.
Oh, you read the article where a mother repeatedly says her 11 year old daughter is just like a crack addict because she prefers being on her phone to making her bed? The article where the mother admits to going into fits of rage and punishes the 11 year old child for doing nothing that isn't normally tolerated even in this already very strict household? The article where this mother of an 11 year old blames nothing but the phone for the fact that this girl entering into adolescence behaves differently than when she was a child?

No, this article was written by a narcissist who can't handle her little girl growing up and rather than dealing with it in a healthy way is instead raging against an inanimate object.

Good on you for thinking about the user experience of the person receiving the communication. It's a skill to know how to do this well. It requires practice and effort that many people don't bother with – because of a lack empathy, they're too busy, or they realize the recipient(s) won't recognize (or even read) the results.

Edit: In my experience, a lot of people can't even bother to think of an appropriate subject line that summarizes the content effectively. "URGENT: please read" is the worst offender.
One of the upsides of living in the EU: As a consumer you can, by law, return any* online purchase for 14 days after delivery for a full refund and for any reason. It's pretty great.

As an exchange student in Germany I never got accustomed to the urgency with which my host mother would rush into my bedroom and throw open the window exclaiming "Frische Luft! Frische Luft!"
there are so many trivial solutions to that and you know it
"No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on [me]."

Selfishness is a bit too strong a word, but I'd bet he wrote this after a particularly acronym-heavy meeting where he was annoyed at feeling dumb for not following the conversation. So it's a good policy directive that's also self-serving.

Also this is a difficulty inherent in micromanaging large organizations, something Musk and Jobs are famous for. Leaders who trust their delegates don't need to understand jargon as much as manager-speak.
Sounds like two different issues:

1. A child that is growing up.

2. A parent that gives in too much.

This lady needs to set rules for use, and then be firm with them. If you don't want your child to use a device for more than an hour a day, don't let them use it for nine.

All this child is doing is learning that their parent is a push over. You gotta be firm and push back.
Yes, at this time, all virus variants have the same spike structure where the vaccines and commonly produced antibody responses to vaccine/infection target.

Oddly enough, the G614 mutation is moderately more vulnerable to neutralization.

Once enough people are no longer susceptible/vaccinated, there may be considerably more selective pressure for the virus to mutate in ways that antibodies to past variants don't work. Whether we'll get variants that are virulent and bypass immunity is TBD. The spike protein is functional; changes to it that bypass immunity likely reduce function.
I think it’s neither cynical nor doing the right thing. It’s small positive move, but I don’t expect it to change anything for most developers.

The 30% is really not the elephant in the room.

What makes it so hard to make money on the App Store is the speed at which knock offs can appear.

The App Store supports deep work that is hard to copy and work where there is a backend with network effects.

For everything else it’s just a lottery.

30% isn’t the issue.
IIRC this particular vaccine targets the "spike protein", which is shared between all known COVID mutations.
My point was long-term rather than short, I don't think they'll be having supply problems in a year's time
I had the opposite take. I also feel like an addict with my iPhone, and I’m old enough that they didn’t exist when I was a teenager. I’m not sure why the author thinks waiting until her daughter was 14 would have changed much, she would just end up addicted then.
She's 8. I'll grant that this works for us now. As she ages, we'll give her more responsibility for handling boundaries on her own.
> I'm not sure what changed with COVID, but something has been much worse in the last 9 months.

The addition of the constant, unrelenting background stress of a global goddamn pandemic?
I hope this doesn't work. I hope they miss diagnosis someone and they die. I also hope the number of deaths in U.S. keep going up and also hope masks don't work anymore after virus mutates. :)

As posted before by other person in this topic AMD don't currently support ROCm on consumer hardware. So you won't be able to run anything that is built for CUDA on these new cards.

I had the green screen crash on my 5700XT a few months ago. They did a big stability release and its been fine since then.
Yep, it's an evolution of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (that's why all these people were in jail in first place), built under their noses [their = the US]. In English, that means it was hidden from the US, not complicity.

Now, if Assad and the Mullahs didn't support Al-Qaeda in Iraq in the first place, or if they got their Iraqi pawns to keep the lid after the US left, maybe the jihadists wouldn't have been strong enough to create ISIS later on.
This essay's main accusation at crime fiction, captured in the callout that these particular books are "not entirely a waste of time", is kind of insulting. Does anyone actually know the parts of reading that make a book a non-waste of time?

This is the kind of arrogance in criticism that would lead parents to be ashamed that their kids are reading Pokemon fan fiction. Heaven help you if they are writing it?!

Do I sympathize that sometimes I feel like I want some time back from something I have read? Yes. But do I truly know what is a good use of my own time? Probably not.

Take this article, as an example. I find the conceit in it wholly unwarranted and it casts scepticism in how I read the rest of it. That said, it does have me thinking on it. And while I can't help the lyrics, "a dangerous past time, I know" from entering my head, I have a suspicion that is a great use of my time.
If only they realized this.
Most well known DL libs use CUDA APIs, which is proprietary to NVidia, so to do it today you want an NVidia card.
Don't focus on the imposter syndrome itself. If you do, you'll assume the solution is to learn more.

In reality, the solution is to work on your fears of failure, of looking ignorant, or of being a fraud.

To be clear, you always can (and hopefully will) be discovered ignorant. It happens often as you grow as a person. You should learn to tolerate that fear and see it as normal and human, rather than something to try to destroy with extra education.

You can also learn social skills that make those inevitable situations (where you fail or are wrong) easier to deal with. If you're intellectually humble and listen to your peers' ideas, you can share in the "blame" for the defeat.
> Just triggered a thought - what's so special about "what's going on in the world", especially when the majority of what people focus on with social media will never affect them and at best is the equivalent of local gossip.

I came to this conclusion years and years ago, when I stopped watching TV news because of ads, but had the unintended side effect that I became more informed about the world (because I had more time to invest in reading true journalism). When I tell people I don't watch the news, they scoff and claim I'm ignorant. I ask them what the most important thing was in the news two weeks ago. They never can tell me.
>>> If you don’t touch code, it doesn’t intrinsically degrade.

That premise is factually wrong, code degrades over time because everything the code interfaces with is shifting over time (OS, compiler, interpreter, dependencies, etc...).
I'd think the opposite. When I'm physically with people I can form groups, picket offices, go on strike. If I'm a remote worker I'm much more easily replaced and there isn't much I can do about it.
I agree. Writing abilities are valued after you have passed whatever arbitrary coding test the company requires you to take. Similar to leadership and people skills in technical roles. Companies say they want them but they are valued much lower than ability to pass their technical to a suitable degree.
Moral is subjective. There also many people that their is moral obligation to not put honest effort or pay fair wages.
Presumable the first step would be "philosophy", so that you can determine for yourself what "not wrong" is. Then once you find out, act accordingly.

> I'd love to demand scientific evidence behind all of their assertions, but have (kicking and screaming) come to realize that many important things in life simply don't/can't have studies at my preferred level of rigor.

Hm. I still haven't accepted this, perhaps it's why I think a lot of management "techniques" are bullshit or bullshit combined with obvious truisms.
For a healthy young adult, what are the potential long term side effects of covid? For most healthy young adults it is a mild flu in terms of symptoms. I know there is a minor risk of having a worse case, but the odds of that for young adults with healthy BMIs is low.
I'll take the vaccine when it is available but I understand that others are looking at the risk/reward and being distrustful of a vaccine. Particularly when the vaccines have been rushed and have unknown long term effects
> Locals wouldn't be able to subsist on those food prices.

You can live on 2-3$ a day with American food prices and eat well. You can live on 50 cents a day with American food prices if you eat badly. Most third world wages covers this. For people living on less than that they will be forced to eat food of so low standard that it would be illegal to sell in USA.
The article doesn't focus on what's going on outside of the phone. 14 is a pivotal age, because it's about that time that high school starts. A lot of what the author describes sounds like a girl beginning the process of detaching herself from her parents. But there could be other factors at work.
Maybe the workers moved to where they could make the most money. If equal pay were offered in every location, local workers would start competing against workers who would not or could not move. But to some extent, the competition has already concentrated itself locally. Beyond the short-term, people would stop moving to be close to the work so the pay would become more equal across distances.
I missed out on texting because of similar choices by my parents, at the time it was not fun
Only useful if you live in a climate where the outside air is acceptable for indoors. Since this is from Japan I believe that applies. Where I live the outside temperatures get well below freezing for months at a time so ventilation alone isn't useful
Something I was personally wondering about is how the DRAM was added to the M1 'chip'. This image shows clearly: http://web.archive.org/web/20201118042108/https://egpu.io/wp...

I guess they must be using much higher density for their 16G than a typical 16G SODIMM for example. I'm not fully understanding why the memory chips need to be on the M1 package if they're using the same package as all other memory.
I'd say effective communication is more important than strong writing skills.

I used to work with someone that could write 300 pages to communicate something that could have been communicated with a single sentence.

I used to work with someone who wold span the team channel for hours to communicate something that he could take them time to properly craft a complete message.

Prolixity and noise can happen on both written and spoken forms. Getting people who can balance all the ins and outs of communication is the key.
Not sure if it'll be helpful to you. But for me stoicism (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/stoicism/) as a philosophy made my life so much easier. I don't remember last time if ever I had ever had an impostor syndrome.

The crux of that philosophy is that you should only worry about things that are in your control. Most things in life aren't such as the made up comparisons of you vs other people.

The other solution that helped me is just to get good at one thing (for me it was keyboard optimizations). So I have at least something I can say I am better than probably anyone.
Huh, we have licenses for this at my job, but I haven't used it much so far. I'll have to look more into it.
Exactly this - most of the libraries in my area have little if no technical books. I know exactly why too - I've frequently come across libraries in the UK that are selling off their technical books, because they're not receiving much attention. I've had multiple occasions where I've managed to buy dozens of books for the value of just one of them.

It's not easy to even ask for a book. I've asked librarians for books before, and I even have a friend currently working in a fairly large library request a book for me (with evidence from me of interest in it), and the request was refused.

The real books worth reading are those that make you a greater expert than the majority of the population. Libraries don't benefit much from storing books that will only be read by one or two people.
Purely speculating here, but Thunderbolt allows for pretty substantial power to be sent bidirectional. It's conceivable that the excess power could be used for that or some other peripheral. I know I can charge my MBP off the excess power from my Dell w/thunderbolt 3, with a similar power supply discrepeny (only ever measured 50-60W used in system, but power supply is rated for 110-120W IIRC)

Or, they're just being lazy/economical and reusing old stock.
I'm not sure I'm on board with Kenneth Branagh's 'Action Poirot' - The bridge scenes in Orient Express were decidedly not in character.

Right, and employers are going to exploit these leverage imbalances in any way possible. It's why I don't think we'll ever see "equal work for equal pay" as seen in the article. You're just not going to get high COL wages while living in a low COL area.
Yes, she is 8. But even if she were 10 or 11, we'd probably keep similar restrictions. She does have access to FaceTime and our time restriction will probably grow as she ages.

China doesn't seem to have a covid problem. Now, granted it's difficult to trust their official statements on anything because of how easily they lie thinking everyone else is too stupid to see through it. But I'd think if covid were actually a problem there word would get out eventually.

I understand they put some pretty severe restrictions in place initially, though. Probably far too strict for most of us in the west to truly consider. But now they don't need them, and people are more or less living normally.
