“You can get a good deal from rehearsal,

If it just has the proper dispersal.

You would just be an ass,

To do it en masse,

Your remembering would turn out much worsal.”

Yep, When you want FM you can press the FM button rather than press the mode switch an unknown number of times requiring you to watch the display. My car has a rotary selector for air con mode and I usually just turn it all the way to one side and move it the number of clicks I know are needed. That way no looking is required.
>Next year, Chat will become available as a free service—both in the integrated experience in Gmail and the Chat standalone app.

It was great when Chat [EDIT: This was Google Talk, I think.] was integrated within gmail, both as a ui, and the fact that chat messages were mixed-in with your regular emails, and available for searching. I don't remember when this was removed, but I haven't used it 10+ years. Somehow I doubt the new Chat will work the way it used to, but I hope so.

EDIT 2 (off topic): I tried to look at Google Chat, but first Google wanted me to answer some survey questions, so I agreed to. There's no (apparent) way to navigate the survey questions or revise your replies. I clicked through one question accidentally without answering it. For another question, I mistakenly answered the opposite of what I meant to. Garbage-in, garbage-out.

EDIT 3: After clicking "Get Started" in Google Chat, it appears this is only for groups a la Slack. Why can't I just IM other people with gmail addresses in my address book?
If that shift you described is indeed under way then public relations should all be fired. Google has a well deserved horrible track record and no serious enterprises should consider it.
Yes, I experience this too. Poor quality and latency in the Google Voice app (in a totally not subtle way) when calls initiated in Google Hangouts Dialer work fine.
> In Q3 2020, Apple had an 8.5% share of the market, up from 7% in Q3 2019. Apple ranks as the fourth largest PC maker, behind Lenovo, HP and Dell but ahead of Acer.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/10/12/apples-mac-sees-s...

The new Macs are fast and have great battery life, but I wouldn't worry about them taking over the market. Windows machines and Chromebooks are arguably better versus Macs now than in 2015 when you couldn't find a laptop outside of a Macbook with a decent trackpad or high resolution screen.
Thanks. I commented as my mental model was that Apple had a significantly easier job with a fairly narrow set of significant applications to worry about - many of which they write - compared to a much wider base for say AMD's server cpus.

But I guess that this all pales into insignificance compared to the gains of going from Intel 14nm to TSMC 5nm.
The people I know who are waiting on getting the vaccine are fine with having the same lockdown type precautions. (Wearing masks, not seeing people as frequently, less travel, working remotely, etc.)

The people I know who are cautious with getting the vaccine are below 50. So, they’ll have to wait a while anyway. Most of us are not like... wait years for effects to emerge. More like 6-12 months after initial rollout.

I’m one of those people. I’m fine with still being remote and wearing a mask when in stores or whatever. I’m not going to go to any dances anytime soon even if I had the shot anyway. Effectiveness isn’t 100% after all. (Is there an easy way to tell if you’re immune after without any risk? That’d be nice...)
Yeah, what a weird comment.How can you argue that you need more length and characters when comparing 2000-3000 Kanji vs 26 letters (I am ignoring the "kanas" to simplify the argument) It is like saying Hexadecimal is more verbose than binary.

It's really, really easy to find blogs on the internet absolutely filled with hate speech and extremist views.
I think one of the things that come closest to this are european-style brands on Aliexpress (Blitzwolf comes to mind) that pretty certainly don't do any R&D but are building reputatíons for only putting their badge on products of decent quality.

Something I haven't yet seen provided without a very significant price increase is customer support (which could already mean just a page listing all products with specs or a community forum).
The title is an odd construction, and did throw me off at first.

"Is Apple Silicon ready?"

Ready for what? Apple Silicon is the fixed quantity in this equation, while the software is what is changing to be ready for Apple Silicon, so the construction feels backward. An alternate construction could be "Is it Apple Silicon-ready," which I suppose one could stretch the title to read as a shortening of, but it's still awkward either way.

All that said – this is the best UI I've seen yet for an Apple Silicon compatibility list, confusing title or not.
Maybe, but it wouldn't matter if they're OSS to begin with
Generally, it's been pretty easy to transition for me, but I used to rely on things like the automatic nginx image that you need to mount the docker socket into so it can route traffic to containers when they come up. Since there's no daemon, there wasn't a way to do that. I think people are working on it, but I haven't tried recently.

Work also uses a special docker RUN command that can use the host's ssh keyring to, eg. Install something from a private github repo. Doesn't seem to exist in podman.
I can't read the story, just the first bit, but it says "risk losing funding" not "axe".
That's just nonsense. The Last Kingdom literally includes every element that the article complains is missing from the game.

Do you work for a local company or remotely? We are thinking of moving there, too!
Very good article, I also reflected many times about the current situation of the trillion dollar companies and how they operate for the sake of profiting no matter what. Sometimes I consider stop buying Apple products because if their super locked business model does not help developers and it does not support the open web. Google on the other hand with a pseud- open-source mind is not innocent, but again no company is perfect. Apple's hardware and software integration provides a superior User experience IMHO, but at the cost of paying a high premium and being locked. On the other hand, Google being able to instantaneously provide an imense amount of useful information through their apps for free is also very handy, but again at the cost of losing our privacy and potentially being manipullated by advertisers, because if it is free you are the product. Perhaps the companies should find a balanced business model, but it also depends in people being aware of how much their time, money and privacy really cost.
I'm not convinced intellectual property encourages innovation at all. People needing a solution to a problem encourages innovation, intellectual property law sometimes lets people create arbitrage on top of that but usually when the profit becomes significant and the original problem is solved the innovation stops.
>They go where the projects go.

So where do they go now? Are American trained Mech/Civil/Industrial/etc Engineers really going overseas in large numbers? We all know the cost of schooling is now exorbitant in the US and engineering salaries (certainly for software but I'd guess other disciplines as well) are generally higher here than anywhere else in the world. Where could they even go to make enough to pay off their student loans?
That's why laptop docks are great! You get the portability benefits of a laptop while being able to use it as if it was a regular desktop with nice computer monitors and peripherals.

Couple it with a USB switch and you won't have to bother with unplugging cables when switching between your work laptop and your personal desktop. (The only thing I have to unplug and move between my laptop and desktop is my microphone cable).
I would argue yes. The two port MacBook Pro, in my opinion, was launched to replace the MacBook Air when it came out in 2016 [1]. It didn’t have a Touch Bar, for example, and based on my conversations with Apple at that time, I feel very strongly it was meant to replace the Air in the lineup (the 12” MacBook was another attempt to replace the Air, that one I think we can blame a lot more of on Intel). Apple never told me this outright, but that was absolutely the impression I got about how it was being positioned against the MacBook Pro with four ports and it was how I reviewed the first release of that model.

For a variety of reasons, it didn’t work. Not only was the price higher, the port selection (just two TB3s at a time when the industry hadn’t moved en masse to USB-C, remember, this was four years ago) was really limiting. And of course, the keyboard drama.

It is my contention, though I have no proof, that Apple didn’t want to release the redesigned Retina MacBook Air in 2018, but had to based on continued sales of the older model and the lack of love for the Touch Bar free MacBook Pro. (Recall, even after the redesign, Apple was still selling a Broadwell-based MacBook Air, technically into 2019. That was essentially the same MacBook Air that was first released in March 2015.)

Once the MacBook Air was redesigned, the two-port MBP never made any sense, even with the re-added Touch Bar. In fact, every single year, when I participate in Jason Snell's Apple Report card [2], I comment on this weirdness in the lineup. I don’t think the two-port MacBook Pro needs to exist.

While I do agree with you on the spoken side, there was a comparative study of spoken syllables per language floating around at some point [0], is this really true for written Japanese ? As each kanji is potentially multiple syllables long when spoken but still one character when written, conveying a meaning of itself. (I'm simplifying here obviously, as there are kanji combinations to give a specific meaning, eventually modifying the number of syllables when spoken and others)

The most incredible thing is they are still supporting the service till 2026 despite its usage being in decline since 2008
I feel critical of approaches that make generalization using "we" when talking about a serious of actions by some very specific institutions.

The US has a complex state and a number of private corporations with a relationship to the state and each other. Who are you talking about in particular?

Edit: I should add. It's not just the problem of having trouble building things but companies that get a lot of money out of failure and those companies symbiotic attachment to the government - consider the X billion dollar California rail planing process. Whoever did that didn't even have to create more than minimally to still leave with truckloads of cash. And they'll be on call for next time. Even that is just an example.
I got a refurbished HP desktop i7 that I bought two years ago for $300 on Amazon and upgraded the SSD and 32gb RAM for another $250 or so. I can run numerous instances of VS Code, Chrome, Slack, Postman, etc all day without even a hint of a slowdown. I also never hear my fans go on, not ever. I'm running Manjaro/XFCE... I think it does a minimal Windows style UI better than Windows.

My work is done in a nice quiet room and I don’t have to or want to travel. I never understood why people want to optimize for working on trains, planes and in meetings. Even when I was going into the office, I didn’t need to bring my computer home because I had the exact same machine at home since it was so cheap.

I do have a 2015 Macbook Pro and an Acer E5-575g laptop as well. If I feel like working on the couch or in bed, I can absolutely do that, but I never do. Mostly the Mac is just there to test Mac things or compile iOS things. The Acer was just so cheap and it also runs Manjaro perfectly.
I've heard some of the big tech players are actually limited by power and cooling in their DCs, so ARM, even if it's slower, could be a win.
I'm using safari until Firefox gets ready. I have pihole so I'm mostly unaffected by ads except for YouTube videos - I was reminded that YouTube had ads!

Safari developer mode is actually not that bad. The only thing that's really awful is the complete lack of (useful) plugins.

I was also able to run my web project without any issues with ARM binary.
> Why does it feel like no other software company has these sort of branding issues?

This caught my eye. My initial reaction was to disagree that google was a software company and that it's more of a "tech/search/social media" company. Microsoft is a software company, not google. But the longer I think about it, the more it becomes apparent that google is a software company. It just provides its software as a service/subscription for your data.
x86 is wasteful in comparison to these M1 chips, not necessarily in comparison to 1990s chips. It wasn't wasteful back then, but today there are faster and more power efficient chips on the market. The longer Intel keeps making 100W designs that are slower than 10W ARM chips, the more wasteful it becomes.
Is there a reason to believe they would? I don't read my Facebook timeline anymore, but when I did I remember seeing quite a few anti-Facebook posts.
But isn't Aliexpress usually a more trustworthy source (they actually have mechanisms to prevent scams and ensure quality)?
I've only really noticed Identicon-like images on StackExchange sites, but didn't realise they were actually different images! But now I think about it, I'm sure I've seen them elsewhere too - until I realised this, I had no idea Identicon was a thing.
Before I moved to macbook in 2014 I had had pretty positive experience with linux on the desktop.

I don’t want to disclose the reasons for that move since here is discussed the opposite but I have a question.

I absolutely loved my laptop and dwm instead of bloated desktop environments and I would be happy to move back to this universe.

BUT.

I got trapped to the apple’s ecosystem. I find it convenient to be able to share copy-paste buffer between my devices at hand. I find it useful that when I take a photo it gets uploaded somewhere and then I can see it on my laptop screen. Reminders, notes, music, phone backups.

I have a 7 year old tablet that still receives critical OS security updates.

If something turns my laptop, phone or tablet to ashes I can get a new one and get it back to the working condition pretty quickly. Laptop will require a bit more hassle because I don’t do backups and I haven’t created a provisioning script for it but still it is a matter of hours.

I don’t care about the logo and the company behind tools that I use. I just want a tool that fits my needs best and allows me to focus on things that are really important for me.

I want a phone/tablet that will still get official love and support from the vendor even 7 years after release.

I want my day to day getting things done be synced across my devices flawlessly.

I want smooth user experience and I don’t want spend my motherfucking time on choosing across multiple options related to the tools I use. Or at lease I am ready to spend some time in advance in order to forget about all that crap for a long while to focus on really interesting stuff.

Apple is very good at selling stuff to you. They are effing effective. Once you get one of their devices you will get used to it and will try more. And then out of a sudden you are surrounded by their shit. And it seems like you are happy about it.

Linux is fun. And the open source is fun. I am allergic to Android to the point of disgust. But what is the alternative to apple’s “ecosystem” in the open source world? Like phone, tablet and laptop/desktop + cloud sync among all three. I am ready to jump. Just tell me where.
So telomeres shortening has a useful purpose in preventing runaway cell division right? So wouldn't artificially increasing their lengths increase cancer incidence, unless combined with other interventions for fighting cancer?
The rest of the world doesn't care about "the first amendment" nor about the people who wrote it.
> Patent insiders distinguish prophetic examples by verb tense: examples based on work that has actually been done are typically in the past tense, whereas prophetic examples must be in the present or future tense. Thus, when a patent describes a chemical reaction in which “230 milliliters of hydrogen is attained,” or treatment of a patient whose “pain is substantially alleviated,” or a diagnostic patch with micro-needles that “automatically draw small quantities of blood,” the present tense signals that the work needed to support these claims most likely had not been carried out at the time the application was filed.

Definitely never heard this rule. Every patent I’ve written has been in the present tense regardless of whether it was “prophetic” or not. That’s just how patents are written.
I didn't mean to oversimplify, just didn't want to get too longwinded. I agree with the points you make. That's why I think it's a difficult problem, because I realize not everyone thinks the way I do and I want to learn how to distill that knowledge into others.

Assuming that sexual precociousness is a natural feeling, which as a male I certainly felt in my youth, is there a way you think you could have safely satisfied or otherwise dealt with those feelings appropriately, or did it come down to a misunderstanding of power dynamic or that you were being manipulated? Did it stem from a lack of closeness with the existing male figures in your life?

Clearly we both found that prohibition does little to stop the fortuitous, so instead of trying to control and track my children's internet habits I hope I can just address these issues directly and just raise them to be sensible.
>Third - this is not an issue with 'green' or 'innovation' in the technical sense - it's about the efficiency of the bureaucracy.

The entire discussion has been how this isn't the major driving factor of the cost of building. So why bring this up at all?

In terms of character count, it takes fewer characters to convey an idea in Japanese than in English.

You see this in NES/SNES-era game translations. Both versions of the game had to use the same number of characters. So the level of detail in English is quite low compared to the original.

Recently, modders have hacked the English versions of the games to add variable-width fonts to achieve more true translations. Breath of Fire 2 is a good example.
The one which became very (?) popular and widespread was shut down.
My question now being : where to start ?

IMO what an alternative needs is momentum, mindshare, and a reality distortion field of its own. Find out how to get a million prople to believe in the need for a next thing, and convince them to cooperatively choose the same next thing. And somehow keep that thing from being mangled in the process.
It works if you use smaller fonts and rotate the thing into landscape mode.
in Verdana 4 space indentation is about 3 ordinary characters wide. I find that perfect. code indented with 2 spaces is more problematic though.
I've also heard all these things about Canadian health care when I lived in New York, multiple times. As a Canadian who has lived in the UK, Canada and America, NHS and Canadian health care is pretty good. American health care with fantastic insurance is fantastic.

Really nice tool! Couple things I'm running into:

1. I registered on my laptop, opened account verification email on my phone. Verification link says I'm verified, laptop say's I'm not even after logging out/in.

2. It says 5 alerts are free, but at 3 alerts I'm presented with a message stating I've reached my limit.

3. Last pass doesn't seem to like the email field on sign in. It won't autofill it :(
European here who spent some months in Ontario. Canadian health care was definitely alright, at times a bit strangely organized but my medical needs were properly addressed (fractured my wrist badly, and was sick a couple of times).

US is great if you are properly insured and if you are able to navigate the system. But also extremely expensive in comparison so the value for the money you spend isn’t all that good in comparison
Right, I see. I know the old supporting Debian systemd service was broken in various ways for a while. In my experience the hardware works fine in this instance, at least on the older chip (and I doubt very much they changed it).
> But if u buy a mac nowadays, its like a console with set stuff in it that u cant change or upgrade

That's how most people buy and treat computers. We're the weird ones who upgrade them and keep using them for 9 years, 3 SSDs, and 4 RAM bumps.

> Their performance is okish

Nope - not even close to merely 'okish'. These first devices (which were clearly targeted as the cheapest, lowest-end devices Apple sells) outperform the vast majority of PCs (and Macs) sold today, and not just by a tiny bit. Look at some of the reviews by developers - in many cases their existing Intel apps and games are running better under Rosetta emulation/bridge/whatever you want to call it then they did on native Intel Macs. Compile times for a $999 MacBook Air beat a $6k+ iMac Pro by 30-40%. Games getting better frame rates under Rosetta than they did on native intel boxes.

The list goes on - these chips are beasts, and this is only the beginning. The high-performance versions of these will make people who bought 8/10/12 core iMac Pros recently weep.
Proprietary software without funding is software without maintainers, another way of saying dead by most people's definition.
I did not realize AWS had its own ARM chipset, so thanks for bringing Graviton to my attention.

I was wondering how other companies will compete with Apple's data center advantage--presumably Apple will replace most x86 infrastructure with cheaper, lower power, faster Apple Silicon.

Even if Graviton2 work is far behind the M1, it seems like Amazon can catch up. Particularly if they are able to hire away engineers from Apple's team. Even if Amazon trails Apple by years in performance per watt, it can still likely offer a compelling change from what Intel or AMD may be able to accomplish in the same time period.
> a quality DSLR for $50

I'd be interested in what he got more specifically. My guess is that it's either a cheaply produced chinese model (with which specs? mft mount, one of the brands, something chinese ... can you review it?) or an old and used name brand model.
Roblox seems too socially advanced and inappropriate for a 4 year old. I just saw an ad recently for Lil Nas doing a performance in the game, who is not someone I would ever want any of my children, especially at four years old, being around.
