Edge and Adobe Reader maybe but there are mixed environment companies.

What if your company's email and calendar server is Outlook? And what if everybody's writing docunents with Word and sheets with Excel?

Furthermore a web developer probably wants to test in Edge even if I assume Chrome is enough.

It's using a Rockchip RK3399 anyone know much about it?

Is it more or less documented than the Raspberry PI SoCs?

Like for instance does it require a custom kernel?
I've been missing duff's device in Rust. Maybe I'm crazy.
Something I don’t understand about these sorts of tools is how you’d handle user signups. Is that something you just side load as a second service?

Might be the only digital marketer comment here, but it was defiantly worth the 39$, saves tons of times and generate a lot of data that is needed for my testing
Apple trashed the "Macbook" reputation with the previous generation of intentionally crippled 1-port (including charging!) machines.

Now they are stuck with a 13" pro that stopped being Pro.
>("no touchscreen or 5G!")

This is a huge plus in my opinion.
Waiting on the multicolor vinyl special release with additional liner notes and outtakes.
I'd second this. I tried yesterday using the brand new cable supplied with my Google Stadia Controller to use to connect my Phone to my car. It worked! Android Auto showed up - only to fail after 20 seconds. No turning around and reseating helped although the connection was physically better than the cable I was trying to replace.

USB-C cables are just a mess.
I guess a lot of it has to do with aspirational marketing. It's the same with DSLRs or sporty versions of cars. If you would benefit from more available peripherals and monitors, a bigger screen and more memory (pretty much most professional computer people I can think of would benefit from these) then this likely isn't the machine for you.
If Apple were to ship one it would be in a later release. Eg the iPad didn’t have one as Apple don’t like to reveal info about models which you have to do for FCC approval.
The last. The measure "tablespoon" is indeed independent from actual utensils, and is measured with a set of tools for that purpose, as you would with ml.
Quake III Arena, K3s and a Raspberry Pi
Engineering companies used to be organized by function rather than business. This 10x engineer would be a manager. The person in charge of you was the person that you can learn the most from. Project, program, and financial management came from a business group.

This was before the popularity of the MBA. I think what happened is that there is a massive oversupply of management, and it’s harder for engineers to keep skills current, so senior engineers tend toward business activities. Of course this means juniors stagnate technically as well, so the only way forward is through entrenching oneself as management.

What you’re describing is a 10x leader, and you’re not going to get 10x from a newcomer to a team that already has a leader. More likely you’ll get an exit due to ‘bad fit’.

Consider also that 10x is the expected benefit of leadership. Those that seek a 10x engineer should probably look at the 1x manager.

Remember: app curation by Apple isn't driven by any kind of instrumentation and doesn't prevent malware until after it becomes well known. There is no advantage it gives to consumers, it just prevents apps from taking users from Apple's services.

That is: the iphone app store doesn't improve upon the OSX security situation.

Also, at least the commador64 had publicly available schematics (I think they may have been included with the machine.) The only modern phone doing this that I'm aware of is the PinePhone.
Technically, all the stuff heard at the beginning was initialization and training stuff. The actual data is the uniform hiss/roar just before the speaker cut off. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/06/the-m...

At least for modems near the end of the period. The very first ones at 300bps really did sound like cassette audio.
Looks like it supports a few (https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Software#Operati...) e.g. TinkerOS (a Debian Linux derivative), Armbian (Debian or Ubuntu derivative), and Android. I didn't find anything on whether that's changed for the 2 and 2S.
Because you're so easy to manipulate, we will have another massive wave of death from bacteria pneumonia caused by keeping wet rags over your blow holes.

It seems that all of these people are dead. Just pointing that out.
The article is full of concrete reasons not to buy an M1 if you use Microsoft and Adobe software.

I suspect the number of Edge users in the Mac ecosystem is not high. Acrobat might be more of a problem, but it's still not quite the mainstream MacBook Air use case.

The question isn't so much "Do these apps work?" but "When will they work?" MS and Adobe will be distributing Apple Silicon builds within the year - most likely within six months, and possibly by early next year.

So these are showstopper problems if you need these applications on a Mac right now, but not so much if you're planning to wait and see a while.

Honestly, Catalina and Big Sur broke far more applications than the M1 move did. If you're doing the prudent thing and running a year or so behind it's very likely there will be fewer problems.

So ultimately there aren't many reasons beyond novelty and a percentage of natural replacement why most people who lean heavily on Office and Acrobat are going to need a Macbook Air right now.
Sure I think Outlook is fairly widely used in corp environments, though I’d be surprised to find many such environments who use outlook purchasing or supporting mac laptops for their users. There are cheaper and perfectly capable windows machines for office work.

So it is an unusual choice on an Apple laptop, but also I expect it to be supported in time, and it is unsurprising that it is not amongst the first apps ported to a new architecture.
Doesn't Outlook support custom domains?
The problem is that if you convert your COBOL code to the language du jour (LDJ), you've only kicked the can down the road. You will always have to keep some COBOL experts on staff (the conversion is never finished), plus the new LDJ experts.

In ten or twenty years, LDJ will be obsolete, now you have to convert to LDJ2. Now you have COBOL programmers on staff, plus LDJ programmers, plus LDJ2 programmers. No one wants to be on the obsolete teams, your salary budget bloats, and you have more Babel.

If there's always going to be something better, and you're always going to be fragmented, why not stay with just the one single obsolete technology?
Why would a review be biased if they want 5G or a touchscreen in their laptop?

Those are features of other laptops. And Apple already ships the technogy to support both.
It seems like India would benefit from anti-SLAPP laws, as that's exactly what this company is doing.

Something different would need to be done about the bad-faith takedowns and coordinated harassment, however.

I got excited for a second thinking the wifi/bluetooth module was an M.2 slot.

I'm guessing we'll have to wait a couple of years yet to get a few more PCI-E lanes and an M.2 slot on a Pi or equivalent.
It has been my experience that modern new software is just like this, only it's more ubiquitous.
....or care.
I picked up a Dell touchscreen laptop and literally have never used the touchscreen. I even forgot it has it. I just can’t see any reason to use it and how it’s better.
I was already preparing to leave gmail but hadn't found the thing to really motivate it yet. The broken password reset heuristic motivated it. Or rather, it gave me no other choice at all.

A news outlet that would report verbatim what the current US president says without live fact checking, would not be able to call itself objective either. It’s difficult.
Are you saying that masks wearing is of no use?

The paragraph in the article immediately after the one you quote says:

"However, according to medical historians, the decline in deaths from influenza in San Francisco can be partly attributed to the mandatory mask-wearing policies."
Going off the rest of his stack, probably corporate reasons.
From my reading of this, it could also imply an unorganised set of the predatory wealthy all acting within their own self-interest, rather than a conspiratorial cabal.

That such 21st century robber barons are seeking to gain from Brexit is no secret. It is likely this is what the author refers to.

Cross-browser testing of web apps would be one use case.
Yes! If the OP poured me a glass of scotch I'd very happily sort his 10.000 brick collection between sips.

For a much larger collection (as the guy who got a bag of his own weight), some sort of automatic sorting would start to be envisageable.

Silicon Cowboys (2016) [1]

Just putting it out there: I really loved working a Compaq, as do most people I knew.

Hmm, I didn't notice any missing metadata.
On the contrary.

There was nothing open about NuBus, Quicktime, QuickDraw, QuickDraw 3D,....

Apple's platforms like every other 16 bit computer, with exception of IBM PC clones, was always its own eco-system.
Thanks! I knew about the possibility, but was clinging to my German ways (we do use tea and table spoons when the recipe tells us to).
My firm pays a contractor for supporting our mainframe systems. His company charges us ~$900 a day for his services.
the reviewer mentioned word and excel and teams - very likely they're "all in" on the ms office suite, except for... running it on windows.
Seconded, with a footnote that its articles regularly appear on HN.

There is also now I know, a daily light digestible easy read that bring a lot of interesting lesser known stories.

I probably use it for around 10-15% of navigation and scrolling on web sites. It's not a case of "I'm on a web site designed for a touch device, I will therefore now start poking the screen", but more along the lines of noticing it'd be much quicker to work a sequence of buttons by touch than by tap.

Touch is definitely much faster to get through certain styles of forms. The first that came to mind where I'd often tend to touch is the TFL (Transport for London) journey planner.
From the reviews on YouTube that I’ve seen, the fan on the Pro is inaudible all the time, even after running Cinebench in a loop for 30 mins. The reviewer was able to conclude that the fan was actually doing something, since the benchmark score held steady over those multiple consecutive runs whereas the score of the Air dropped after about ten minutes of sustained load.

I’m sure the Pro has the same throttling logic as the Air since they’re identical apart from the fan and case/peripherals but it’s going to be very difficult to get it to throttle. I would think you’d need to run a microbenchmark of vector instructions in a very tight loop just to get the fan to spin fast enough to be audible. Under normal use it may never happen unless the fan fails.
No, IBM would have gladly prevented, they even tried to fix Compaq's success by releasing the PS/2 with MCA architecture, they just failed to turn the market around.
There's a very strong drive for quality. When you handle payments or trading systems, having 1% of transaction disappearing doesn't cut it.

It's the environment around critical systems. When shit hits the fan, it's really bad and there's a feedback loop to developers/managers/companies.

Software is ironed out over time. Bugs are removed and things are very stable in finance.

Software that really doesn't work (and can't be fixed) might be killed or never see the light of day. The result of failure is too bad and too visible.

It's way more than that. There's all sort of strange incentives. Like you don't get dinged for fixing a bug instead of making a new features (frequently there's no new features to make, it's largely maintenance work).
If that's all the eu were I'm sure it would be smashingly popular.
I agree with the issue, but I'm sad since there isn't a "standard" size, so I'm back to collecting wall warts to power things again.
I use wolframalpha and convert everything to millilitres and grams as appropriate.
Most times you don't even need to distinguish between volume and weight because wolframalpha also does that conversion for you.
Interview JavaScript Part 1 – Call Stack (Inspired by Colt Steele)
Love it. Conceptually identical to the old TRS-80 cassette tape interface. And even preserves the sensitivity to sound artifacts. Am beginning to think DOS will rise again. FreeDOS graphics mode is just as much fun to play with as PICO-8. 256 colors, 320 x 200 resolution. With modern techniques like AI Upscaling, and DOSBox emulation in browser. It doesn't seem too far fetched to say this is a viable development platform even in 2020 ;)
Sounds to me like You know exactly what is causing You problems. If You need help understanding, You need to ask for it. I would expect that the school You are studying with would make every effort to help You succeed. Especially if online learning is a new thing that the school is doing due to the pandemic, but the truth is, You have to be the one to ask for help.

Part of being a successful student is being honest with your teacher. If You never let your teacher know You are not understanding, they can not help You. Get over your shyness and self doubt and speak up, honestly when You think about it, what is the worst thing that can happen if You do that?

As far a procrastination goes people don't procrastinate over things they want to do, or are interested in, unless they are struggling with doing it or understanding how to do it.

Tough love might also be what You need to hear. So don't take this the wrong way but, "Suck it up princess!" succeeding in life is hard work, if You really want something in life You have to make the effort to get it. There might be people willing to support You right now but as life goes on and the older You get, those people will become few and far between. There are no paricipation trophies for grown-ups in life, so stop making excuses and knuckle down and get to work. Or don't and keep feeling like a "loser" at the end of each day.

Finally if the task seems insurmountable or You have put it off for so long that You now feel there is no way to do all the work that is needed to be done. Here is a joke/trueism that might help:

Q: How do You eat an elephant? A: One bite at a time!
> Apple as a hardware company

Apple is now (primarily) a software-service company, and from that point of view, a locked-up platform makes a lot of business sense (unfortunately). Selling hardware is only the first step in locking customers into their service-ecosystem. In this new Apple world, app-developers are essentially Uber/Lyft-style gig-workers, not independent businesses.
Can We Make Our Robots Less Biased Than Us?
Don't know if it's the same in the US, but in the UK there's also the desert spoon, that you'd eat rice-pudding with; a tablespoon is only for serving or measuring, you couldn't fit one in your mouth (unless you have a really big mouth). Could this be the issue?
Β-Coronaviruses Egress Using Lysosomes Instead of Biosynthetic Secretory Pathway

Does {tab}/{space} not work in some forms?
As far as I can tell, I did not talk down to you as to a child, and I
certainly did not call you intellectually lazy or stupid. I criticised the
fact that you don't want to put in the hard work to understand the subject you
are discussing, which is what you have stated from the start of the
conversation, claiming you don't need to read up on the history of AI because
it is not relevant (I'm paraphrasing your point but correct me if I
misunderstood it).

It seems to me I am right to think that you took my criticism as an insult to
your faculties. If I say something wrong, I expect to be corrected and
criticised if I insist on it, but I don't take that as an insult.

>> To the other side of things, it might help calm you to know I never much
considered what I was saying a criticism of Louise.

And still you persist with the same style of commenting. "Calm" me? And you
complain that I talk down to you? You have replied to my original comment with
arrogance to tell me that my entire field of study is "not AI" and irrelevant
- and then continued to insist you don't need to know anything about the ~70
years of work you dismiss even when it became clear that this only causes you
to make elementary errors. You speak of things you know nothing about with
great conviction and then you get upset with me for pointing out this can only
result in errors and confusion. Given all that, I have shown great patience
and courtesy. Others would have just ignored you as ignorant and unwilling to
learn. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Was that a mistake?
Windows also supports copy/paste between devices, including Android phones (only some Samsung models so far).
Something like "How I bootstrapped my Bitcoin startup from a vinyl record" would be even more Hackernewsy.
This is nothing new. Another scammer called Ankit Fadia has been doing very similar stuff under the name of "Ethical hacking courses" for many many years now.

He has been exposed many times (see his Wikipedia page) but most parents and students don't know much about the person running the business and fall for stupid ploys like "Employed by FBI to hack Osama" or some paid TV apperance and end up paying thousands of dollars to such companies / individuals.
This appears to be a list of things that we have no reason to bother to observe in non-mammals.

I've heard most of them said to be unique to humans. (the most insightful comment in the article is e.g. "There is very little data on mammalian defecation.")

My conclusion is: we like to study ourselves, we are not that bothered about studying other creatures.
Algorithms Could End the Scourge of Tuberculosis
FWIW. Since you've mentioned Byju's... my Indian friend here informed me that they have a nexus with the Google Playstore team too and bypassing all Playstore policies. For instance, they release a free app without any in-app purchase; but after some time, they'll lock the app and will call the parents to pay 50k rupees.
The complaint in the article is about lack of 5G specifically, not just any mobile connection.
>but the app compatibility is an expected chicken-or-egg issue with early adopters.

>The point I would make is you have to weigh the app experience in Nov 2020 against your expected experience for the rest of the life of the machine.

So much for the "It just works" marketing that Apple used to push a couple of years ago.

There's the Odyssey [1]. A bit larger than a Pi, two M.2 slots, GPIO, x86 based with programmable ARM coprocessor. But it's much more expensive at $188.

Back in the late 90s when I used Photoshop as part of my Project Support / Sysadmin 50/50 position, I used books that taught me how to do certain things. I think it's just that Photoshop is that much more popular so has orders of magnitude more people writing books and HOWTOs.
I had my suspicions about their content being too idealistic, being directed to that 'flavor of the month' manager audience. But it's a sin that doesn't really go away with the Economist, either.
Dual cassete players were great for copying programs/games!

Also reminds me of Amiga's Video Backup System which made use of Amiga's video processing capabilities to output data and read from VHS tapes. That was a slow process but could store large amounts of data, and you just needed a VCR.
Ironically I've just resorted to signing in with Google on my eBay account as, for the past couple of months, whenever I sign in with my email address, I end up in a Groundhog Day hell of endless login screens and reCaptchas.

I'm not comfortable at all with the thought of Google harvesting data about everything I search for, buy, or sell on eBay. But, frankly, being able to avoid the killing rage that descends on me every time I see one of those fucking reCaptchas is worth the loss in privacy!
I think your post summarizes it pretty well. One more addition from my side would be to emphasize that "immutability by default" has been accepted as best practice, which does not really work well with with original idea of ORMs.

Something you'll not be able to do with Apple Silicon hardware. I am interested in the longevity of the new devices, but they'll definitely age faster since the configuration you get today is it.
Wow we must be in separate Berlins because I see tons of JS backends. My impression is Javascript & Python are competing for most popular backend.

Sure, Nix or Nixpkgs could have such (or a better) database native, but I don't see problem with above. Maybe someone cares to explain?
I think the US would qualify, no? You can't be sued for telling the truth.
Maybe something in GraalVM? serious implementations of golang there don't seem to exist yet, though.
Microsoft applications are a massive staple in the business world. The fact that Microsoft went as far as to port them natively to the MacOS platform goes to show how important these applications are.

Not reading that now, but its filename “Karan Bajaj & Anr. Vs. Pradeep Poonia (1).pdf” suggests it may be lawsuit documents.

But I still see no mention of a lawsuit in the article; unless there is, the title here should not mention anything about filing suit (quite apart from the HN rule of not editorialising titles, but using the site’s provided title unless there’s a good reason not to).

Of course, regulations help old code to remain as well, which is probably the case in finance.
