Hi nikivi,

project owner here, this is actually something that we took care in doing upfront so you should see the slash commands being stripped from the text body already.

If possible, could you refresh the page and check if they've been stripped please? Otherwise happy to take a better look at it if you'd kindly open an issue on https://github.com/slash-commands/feedback :)

There's also a cost angle; Intel laptop chips are quite expensive.
I was wondering why Gamer Nexus (a very rigorous YouTube review channel) didn't sent a M1 device, while those Apple fanboy channels got it. Probably the dude would've torn the M1 performance claims apart.
I know enough about viruses to know that they're not alive by any meaningful definition, but not enough to understand how this use of 'live virus' is used in these kinds of studies.

I'm assuming it means a full, viable string of RNA, rather than (presumably harmless) fragments of same -- and the fragments we're finding being described here are definitely non-viable. Is that roughly right?

On the other hand, for most use-cases users will be using a shitty old monitor not only uncalibrated, but with "digital vibrancy" and "sharpness" or whatnot set to 1000% and all careful color design is pointless. You have to design to what users will be using, just like game developers test their games on toaster-PCs.

I've had many situations that I tell someone to "click on the button in that blue box over yonder" and they reply "what blue box?" because the light-blue background got washed to white on their screen.
Can we please stop pretending that Sun- and SGI-developed 100% in-house architecture/board/graphics/OS was never a thing? Apple's merely returned to tradition here by releasing a proprietary RISC workstation.

That's quite an unusual view. It's not at all hard to find evidence of pro-nationalist propaganda because it's ubiquitous.

Anti-nationalist views are much rarer and much less common in virtually all media. In the US you're going to have a hard time finding progressives who explicitly want to destroy America. They may disagree with American policy in a number of areas, but that's a long way from wanting to get rid of the country and its traditions.

Likewise elsewhere. It's probably weakest in the EU because the EU isn't a country so much as a work in progress - and it doesn't even have its own sports teams.

Personally I've never heard of the Open Society Foundation, although it sounds as if I'd agree with their views.
A lot of them use UPnP but there are almost no apps that can deal with the IoT features of the protocol so most manufactures write their own UPnP app with a bunch of "features" demanded by business people.
The truth is somewhere in the middle, so while this article has some good points it is too colored by a strong dislike for all things Apple and borderline conspiratorial thinking.

I don’t think there is anything that suggests Apple is going to stop people from installing Apps outside their App Store. Rather it is about making sure it is easy for regular users to get Apps in a safe manner without malware and Trojan horses.

This isn’t just hype. We know for a fact that this is a much smaller problem on iOS than Android. I am happy that Android exists as a choice for users but let us not pretend there are no trade offs.

It is a bit too conspiratorial to think Apple control is all about some dictatorship fetish. It is a choice Apple makes to improve user experience at the expense of flexibility.
How I love that sound! Reminds me of the times when I was loading my https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector-06C from audio cassettes.
Sounds reasonable - but I'd still prefer to stay away from people who are shedding the virus.

There is also a similar theory that cloth masks might have the unintended positive side effect of building immunity. They are not perfect, so the virus might still reach its target. But the viral load could be reduced enough that instead of infection it leads to immunity.
Nobody’s getting a goose laying golden eggs from a covid vaccine. It’s a one time, relatively low-cost vaccine that is going to go out of demand once the population is immunized.

Oh, and now there are multiple competitors in the market.
Really enjoyed the interview, thanks for making it.

I’ll for sure be including a link to it in one of my upcoming newsletters.
If nVidia/ARM manages to put out a chip that competes with Intel (doesn't even have to be as fast as the M1) and have Windows on-board, it's probably over for Intel

(Of course, unless they engage in some unfair competition, but I think the price difference will be so big it won't matter)
Quite a few of those Westerners will also volunteer for food banks and work as political activists trying to make food banks unnecessary. (For example.)

So I'm not convinced your point is correct.
You could also try using guix or running gentoo in a prefix. both have been running on arm since forever.
I want one to leave in the drawer with all my Raspberry Pi's.
Keep in mind that there is a much larger installed base of Intel machines than any of those other transitions. Apple is unlikely to want to alienate so many people. It will take several years for the percentage of Intel Mac users to fall under 50%.

I see Intel support continuing for closer to 10 years.
It would mean that the government / judicial system would have Very Deep Access and control over the businesses to ensure whether this data is handled properly. On a smaller scale this happens in Europe (as a whole and individual countries) with the GDPR and co; audits or complaints about data ownership, required disclosure under penalty of fines for data leaks, etc.

They can hire as many lawyers as they want but they will be punished if they're not careful with user's data.
It is a normal queue but it might be completely stationary depending on the Israeli soldiers mood.
it never has been the cost when it comes to business but the software which isn't as broad spectrum as it is in the x86 world. even system management isn't as simple as the x86 world. you are on point from the consumer side

another area is that apple for years shunned gaming on their Macs either from API changes or lackadaisical driver support to the point of having a riff with Nvidia that was never solved. that reduces the appeal on the consumer side as many did not or count not afford multiple machines and of course upgrading a Mac meant buying a new one

So now they have a really good processor, we need to wait to see what they drop in the dedicated GPU realm to go with it, and finally how they encourage all x86 vendors to come on board.
I was just judging by the video demo you have. The commands there did stay. I'll try it out. :)

That is the Soviet queue. We had a lot of practice. The paper “Polling with batch service” seem to cover good practical example
I guess "PC manufacturer" is open to interpretation somewhat, but I was thinking of companies making mass market consumer products. For sure Apple isn't the first company to achieve this level of vertical integration in a product (although the overall complexity of the components is vastly higher than when Sun did it).
And those aren’t the worst examples, as alternatives exist (subscription only and/or more expensive, possibly, but they do exist)

Especially in companies, there may be that ‘essential’ app somebody wrote in two decades ago that nobody has the source code to or, if they have, uses a language dialect no modern compiler supports, requires third party libraries of companies long out of business, etc.

Also, hardware support may be an issue. Expensive hardware can have long lifetimes, and hardware companies tend to be bad at upgrading drivers order hardware they don’t sell anymore.
The illustrations are quite pretty, which tool did you use to draw?
There many studies contradicting this. I need to find the links gain (check BNO reinfection tracker, it is one the most recent), but a recent Korean study showed a case of reinfection (or as I am often told to be a "relapse") when a healthy women had shown symptoms again 10 days after recovery, although genetically different. After that in 10 days (or similar time period, do not remember) she showed the symptoms again, third time, with the virus of the first serotype. Also, immunocompromised people keep shedding viruses for months, not only that, the viruses also mutate very rapidly in them.
Nope, that's a contract between you and your employer or whoever else you sign that contract with. The government won't silence you if you do violate the NDA, but you will get a lawsuit on your ass.

I don't understand where this massive misconception about freedom of speech is coming from; probably the phrase itself.

68000 Mac apps were never 8 bit, the CPU had a 24-bit address space!
Apple's walled gardens don't solve the maleware problem. People get code Apple doesn't approve of onto their platforms all the time.

What these things do make more difficult is community maintained software, which is what made the platforms you feel nostalgic about so nice.
This is the very definition of off topic and tangential but...

Walled garden is a rich metaphor. You can contrast a walled garden to a community garden as you did. That's about controlling who comes in.

Anyway.. the "garden" part has is rich too. What's the contrast to garden? Wilderness? I think what makes a garden is being artificial. The gardner makes the garden. Everything in the garden is natural and the garden itself is inevitably an ecosystem. But, if the gardner abandons it, the garden will quickly evolve into something else. In that sense, the garden is an moderately unstable state being maintained by a gardner.

Besides biodiversity, that's my way of quantifying wildness. What will happen if people leave? How different will it be? I think that's why we associate forest so strongly with wilderness. The forest will remain a forest. The amount of tension between what a garden is now and what nature would like it to be.
They're just jealous and need to write 'apple bad' blog to validate to themselves why they are years behind ;-)
I have been in Rome many times but I always pay a visit whenever I go back since it's my favourite monument there (never been a fan of St Peter, too much stuff in there).
The setting is amazing since it's hidden inside the city and the structure itself it's a beautiful and impressive testament to the architectural prowess of the romans. There is truly nothing like it.
It's not nonsense at all, and nothing you wrote contradicts what I said. You can blame any human activity on "human nature". At one time human nature gave us the slave trade, but we still made slavery illegal. Calling it "human nature" doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it.

When I say "structurally enforces", I mean that it amplifies the natural urge to have more, or do better, than someone else.

For example, we might say that someone with $100,000 is fairly comfortable. And perhaps someone who's more ambitious might have 10x their wealth. Or, let's be more generous: let's say 100x or even 1000x. That last would give you someone at $100,000,000 which most folk would agree is pretty wealthy.

Bit it's a bit much when you end up with someone who has 10,000,000x the comfortable persons wealth. That's not human nature: that's a structure set up to funnel the wealth that ordinary people have created, to a tiny number of individuals. And I see that as a problem even if you don't.

True, but that was a long time ago. And now they _could_ make a compelling data center device if they decided they could capture a decent part of that market.

They could take the Mac Mini concept and reconfigure it a bit like blade servers, and then offer compute clusters with better performance for much lower power levels (and heat levels) than any competitor... if they wanted.

The biggest challenge would be deciding whether to put in the macOS effort to re-establish a server tier, or (even less likely) to allow Linux on it.

In terms of stock market safety, they shouldn't bother with any of this. They now have created a big enough disruption and market growth potential in the consumer space that should give them plenty of wave to ride for years. But eventually, the momentum will slow; then whatever else they started working on a few years prior (such as this server idea) would show up just in time to blast the sails.
> Apple is about platform control. Apple Silicon is about performance and efficiency. [...] A friendly, open-hardware Apple would have moved to their own chips too

Well said. But is it even possible to separate them anymore? What if they are practically both sides of the same coin? Apple uses its platform control to finance the development of Apple Silicon, which in turn strengthens its platform control. In an alternative universe, will the open-hardware friendly Apple even have the resources to develop a top-performance Apple Silicon (as seen in this universe) to begin with?

I'm afraid that x86 vs ARM has become a "pick your poison" game, unless a serious competitor to Apple Silicon emerges... Well, if someone can show me that Linux or BSD runs perfectly on Mac w/ Apple Silicon with working periphrases and not-too-bad power management before the end of 2022, I may change my mind and buy one...
> The writing has thus been on the wall for circa a decade, as I said.

So do you say that there is writing on the wall for removing 32-bit support in Windows and Linux too? I certainly don't. If Apple deprecated 32-bit while introducing x64 then the writing would be on the wall but they kept supporting and updating 32-bit.

> You figured 32-bit would be supported for what, 20 years? 30?

At least one hardware generation lifetime from moment of deprecation (5 years would be bad, 10 would be great). There were 32-bit AU plugins still being sold in 2018 and some of them never got an update. KORG never updated some of their synth control apps for synthesisers that are still on sale - they just updated docs and wrote that macOS is not supported anymore.
I don't know who Dave is but I like him already.
I did the same. I also moved from Slack to Basecamp, which has been a marked improvement.
As is your right, and IIRC in my country, they are not allowed to deny you the discount if you don't want to leave your personal data. But that's groceries, things like lucky draws / prizes / etc are not required to let you participate if you don't fill in the forms.

Anyway, there's one supermarket here with a loyalty card program (instead of an 'anonymous' discount / deal-of-the-week scheme), you get the card for free and it Just Works, and they ask you to register but it's not mandatory.

Doesn't matter that much to them; while they do not have your details to e-mail you offers and the like, they still have a user profile, a unique number where they log all the purchases to.
Some of the rabbit holes you described reminded me of a joke surfaced on some Russian forums long ago.

The re was a screenshot of a game running in DosBox in an XP running in VMWare running in Linux running in Virtualbox(?) running on Windows.

The complaint was, there was no sound coming from the game :)
Others misstake doesn't make it better. We should have always stood up and made it clear that lying is not okay.

And 'any other president'. Really? Do you have examples for this? I'm not aware of any president doing it that strong, that crazy, that often.
First of all, thank you for your comprehensive review. I learned a lot of things from this review. For example; I didn't know the existence of the Library of Babel.

Yes, I agree with you on the fact that in the current state of LDCA, there is no meaningful evolution. I tried create a supervisor script[1] to achieve such evolution based on comparing stdout. But comparing stdout does not give me a stochastic picture of error/loss. So instead in the following days or months, I'll try to create a system that checks the values in the registers at the end of the program execution. It will pick the best offspring to go with and eliminate other offsprings.

Yes, I'm basically trying to create Artificial Life with this project. Any contributions to this project are welcomed. Feel free to open PRs and issues on GitHub to discuss and contribute.

I recently installed Home Assistant and bought some TP-Link HS100 plugs so I can turn the heater / workbench lights in my workshop on and off, so it's nice and warm before I start work.

Two weeks after I'd got it all running on an old Raspberry Pi, TP-Link released a firmware update that nuked the HS100 plug's ability to be controlled via Home Assistant :/

There are quite a few irritated TP-Link customers, but to their credit, TP-Link do seem to be reverting the firmware for Home Assistant users.

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/236268
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/237614

Edit: once the firmware is reverted, I'll be blocking the plug's access to external networks! School boy error - I should have done that from the start, really!
From that page:

“Review the following security options:

Full Security: Ensures that only your current OS, or signed operating system software currently trusted by Apple, can run. This mode requires a network connection at software installation time.

Reduced Security: Allows any version of signed operating system software ever trusted by Apple to run.”

⇒ it appears ‘other’ still requires OSes signed by Apple, but it allows you to run an OS even if Apple has no longer trusts it. Or am I misreading that?

So, there might be Apple-signed Linuxes, but I wouldn’t hold my breadth for that.
While I like Linus as much as anyone, he had a large impact in a small field. Even then both linux and git are community projects first and foremost, Torvalds is just the BDFL but the projects would continue very well without him.

Almost nobody can name influential luminaries outside their field. Who outside the field of fiber communications has ever heard of Kao and Hockham? How many HN commenters could tell what Reynold Johnsons' team invented without having to google it? Those are just some examples from software-adjacent fields that we all use every day. Imagine how many fields there are out there that you'd never think of.

In any case, what you mention as "counting" is a very narrow approach. If you mean "has to appear before congress for questioning" then having a lot of money helps. There are hundreds if not thousands people doing impactful work that you will never read about. There is not enough time in the day to keep up with all the work done in modern society but that does not make their work "count" any less.
It is always a trade off. Prioritizing backwards compatibility does not come for free.

One result I see from this is that MS keep creating new APIs whole old ones languish in obscurity.

On Macs in contrast Cocoa is part of a lineage all the way back to the 1980s. I can still use Objective-C skills I learned even before macOS X was released.

The same cannot be said for Windows. Nobody in their right mind writes Win16 or Win32 apps today.

So ironically the backwards compatibility MS offers it users come at the expense of backwards compatibility for developer skills.

When you ban breaking changes in an API you also stop that API from modernizing and staying relevant.
As a counterpoint...I've been using Mac laptops for 10 or 11 years after having grown up staunchly anti-Apple and previously using Linux for some years. I will not be buying an M1. I was already about to ditch Mac after the escape key debacle, but they realized their mistake and lured me back this year. Well, no more. I'm not willing to support the vendor lock-in and privacy invasions with the recently discussed ocsp phoning home.

Sorry Apple, this is a bridge too far. I'm out.
This is not true. Viruses can directly kill the cells, by interfering with biological processes, necessary for cellular survival.
I was about to say that this can be called the "Indian queue", then I remembered that we don't queue, we stampede </joke>.
Exactly the same, just thousands of years older.
“Live” in this context seems to mean “active”.
A right in itself costs nothing, to exercise a right is something else.
If you've always had (some level of) privacy and that is (suddenly) taken away. With gun, you don't have one by default and getting one costs something. With privacy you (should) have it by default and now it would cost something to keep it.

I wonder if people would accept to have to give up a gun they already had and then get paid to not have one anymore, while they have a right to have a gun.

Or as the bible so aptly put it:

> Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
I thought the same at first, but the fact that Apple dropped x86 32bit support means a lot of old unmaintained Intel binaries are already out of the equation.
