A few years ago, that assumption would have been sound. After seeing it slightly tested in the past four years though... I don't think such an assumption really holds as an absolute certainty anymore.

We have seen developed nations continue trading with (and in some cases even increase their trade with) countries that have received international condemnation that should have seen unilateral embargos.

To name the first three that come to mind:

- Russia-Ukraine (land grab) - EU and Germany in particular increasing trade with Russia, particularly in terms of gas procurement when Russia should have been sanctioned into the ground

- Russia-Britain (killing on foreign soil) - same as above

- North Korea violating nuclear and ICBM testing treaty - most countries ceasing to trade openly, but continuing "off the books"

It's funny that you would write something like that as if it was a useful statement. Reducing that much complexity in such a nonchalant way... But nevertheless...

> that humans give meaning to their own existance.

If you have time can you share what you think is the reason for why humans have a capability, the will to give their life meaning? Where does it come from? Why is their ability to give life meaning able to produce actual tangible results in their lives and lives of other people? If that ability even implemented through some genetic mechanism, why does the world work that way that it produces this type of genetics, that can create meaning? Genetics could have worked in any number of ways, why this one?

Would you say that love "exists"? Would you say that an integral "exists"? What about if there are no mathematicians that know about it or use it? Does it still exist?
Any plans to implement Dropbox sync? iCloud or CloudKit is a no go for me.
That's a very interesting take on it actually. The iPad does excel, for me, in the areas where it offers a unique approach (as well as a consumption/browsing device).

Music making is a great example, there's a whole unique ecosystem and way of working which has developed on iPad which doesn't really exist anywhere else.

It's still somewhat tricky to see how e.g. a touch-screen Macbook which can run iPad apps, and an iPad Pro, differentiate themselves a few years down the line though I think.

The iPad works fine as it is. And I think the base ipad and/or the ipad air are perfectly and totally fine for the kind of work that most people would do there (reading, annotating, some video watching). iPad Pros were useful once (when the basic ipad was a bit underpowered or had a worse screen, or no pencil support), but now their existence doesn't seem so necessary to me (of course, it's the usual Pro thing: maybe a lot of people don't feel the need for a Mac Pro, and yet some people scream they TOTALLY want such a thing).

I think the iPad and the iPad Air are here to stay. I couldn't swear about the iPad Pro. I'd really like to hear from iPad Pro power-users - what's something that you can only get in a Pro?

>"yes, I have an identity verified by entity X (and Y and Z) (based on passport/phone number/...)", without disclosing any of those details.

Actually, I would prefer: "Yey, this one-use temporary ID is tied to an identity which is known to behave on public websites." Or "... is tied to an identity which is known to be knowledgeable on topic X". Or whatever information is needed at the time.

Next time a new ID will be generated and the identity provider will vouch for it. No passport or phone number should be required.

Edit: fixed spelling.
A lot of people utter things like "I love my partner", without actually having a clue about what that means, and living miserable lives destroying each other... But why talk about that? ;) I want to focus on the best meaning of the words, the useful meanings, the ones that matter. Not about how there are a lot of people that use the words in weird ways and who don't mean what they say.
I would prefer if smartphones and tablets would finally make the push to become desktop/laptop replacements. Microsoft tried it with the Windows Phone. Samsung and Huawei still have desktop modes in their phones.

Google kinda explored the idea in some developer settings but the Pixel phones don't even support HDMI out via USB-C.

Just like the Nintendo Switch allows us to play video games on the go and on the big screen with one device, I want to finally have a smartphone / tablet which makes a laptop obsolete.

Just plug it into a dock and start using a monitor, mouse and keyboard. It appears, that apples performance boost makes it more feasible than ever now.

Criticism is not abuse. They’re also not doing the best job defending themselves since they offer no concrete proof, testimony, or narrative. Who were these employees? What happened? We don’t know, but are left with some empty promise of a statement that Coinbase “handled it internally.”
#4 (development stuff) is the biggie for me.

I was hoping that Xcode 12 would finally be the version that runs on iPad, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Yeah I’m no artist but I bought an iPad primarily as a reader + a notebook + a drawing device and it does those things really well. There’s a lot of criticism from devs but we just aren’t the target market for this device. The market seems to be university students, artists & creatives, a whole host of professions like architects/engineers/tradespeople who take it out in the field, and people looking to consume media.
In my opinion, Firefox imposes complex constraints on casual developers, and web-ext is part of it.

I have a few web extensions I wrote in order to customize a few web sites (automate tasks, alter display, etc). After a Firefox update, they were not allowed anymore, because they're not signed. The extensions page cannot load local extensions. Then I discovered the secret debug-extensions page of Firefox where I could load them.

Unfortunately, Firefox removes local extension when it closes. I had the choice between loading each local extension after launching a new Firefox, which mean a dozen of clicks, or installing web-ext in order to sign my extensions, and sign them again after each change (no idea if there were extra actions needed in the process, like manual reload). I opted for a much simple option: with Chromium-based browsers, you can enable the extension-developer mode, and then you're allowed to load local extensions from the normal extensions page. Extensions are kept across restarts.

As for your link, I'm aware how they claim it works, and even if that is all true (we can't audit the source code), then it is still a compromise of E2EE. E2EE is between two devices, a receiver and a sender. The third device also able to receive, without the sender knowing or agreeing about it, is dangerous. Why? Because you can't know for sure the receiver has access to both machines. If you consider laptop and PCs are much less safe than mobile devices, then the danger is obvious.

More processing capacity for your application (no need to share with OS), no more interruptions by the OS that are unpredictable in duration, no more interruptions by the OS that are unpredictable in terms of timing and priority and above all, since this seems to be the main goal of the software we're talking about: lower overall latency. Standard C++/JAVA (as far as I know) talks to hardware through a software layer (the OS's system calls). This takes time. Time you can save by cutting out the middle man.

There are apparently ways to do this with an OS running in parallel as well though when you have multiple cores available apparently (see another comment to this thread).
Yes...but how do you sell even more hardware? If your users are locked by not having alternatives because of your software. So what you're saying is correct, and what the parent comment says is also correct.

They might not make as much money from software, but that software leads to more hardware sales.

If people started to use linux on macs, and they find everything they need works fine, some people might consider cheaper alternatives to macs
It’s about adding friction, not achieving perfection. Chips are so complex and fabs so specialized and elaborate that it would seem relatively easy to keep development secrets rather well. They already have to build them in high grade clean rooms.

>What's something that you can only get in a Pro?

For me at this point, it's just the screen size. Personally I think once you get used to the 12.9", any other size feels too small, especially if you are doing anything creative like photo editing or music making.
That's most likely true, and there are probably a lot of people like that. It is just hard for me to understand how they live and why it has become like that. And maybe there are some ways in which I am in the same way, perhaps regarding other obvious things?
Aye I went with this at the cost of two subs too. Had to be done.

BTW, that thing also supports Windows 10. The same .NET binary runs on top of Direct3D 12 there, instead of GLES 3.1.

Way easier to debug on Windows, because visual studio and renderdoc. There’re a few incompatibilities but these are minor. Here’s one example, in a vertex shader: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/master/RenderSamples/...
Right now diff between Air vs Pro is limited. For me the only noticeable thing is ProMotion (120Hz). Can't say 2 GB of additional RAM is seen somewhere as big differentiator.

So it goes down to 12.9" screen size option.

In that sense iPad pro form factor would be a strict improvement - it's far better for casual use and I can set up a home server to SSH into for development outside of home, iOS is a deal breaker however - I need to run some tools client side.
(Not the author, but I've played Line Rider a lot a long time ago.) The character isn't directly controllable. They're affected by gravity, and collision with user-drawn lines. You can also draw "boost" lines that accelerate the character when touching, and "decoration" lines that don't interact with the character.
Wait, just doing it on one of those 20k domains wouldn't have sufficed to show proof?

> But my point wasn't to say that the U.S. is unsafe.

But when you say the US is "exceptionally violent" that is indeed what you're saying.

> they need to be taught to recognize our society's preference for conflict over cooperation, for winner-take-all strategies,

Oh come on. This just reads like selection bias. Just drive to work some day, and look at all the cars cooperating so the traffic smoothly flows. They go to work, and cooperate with the people at the workplace, cooperate with their suppliers, cooperate with their customers, and pretty much everyone they interact with all day, every day.

The winner-take-all mentality is in organized sports, which are specifically designed for that, and those are in every country. (And even then the teams have to cooperate with each other, and cooperate with other teams on rules and schedules.) But not much in other activities. Humans would all literally die in short order if we don't cooperate.

Thought I'd throw in this thought:

Free markets are based on voluntary cooperation.
Socialism is based on forced cooperation. I can't even think of a functioning system based on non-cooperation.
Some of the worst MAGAs I ever met were computer programmers.
I'm not sure that the researcher did any actual damage? I guess they could have taken over one domain to show the vulnerability rather than all of them.

But, if anything, they did the work to collate a useful set of abandoned domains, and all DO needed to do was say "thanks, we've moved them to a special account we've set up and sinkholed on our own server".

Of course, then DO would be liable for the sinkholing, so maybe they thought it better to lock this guys account ("we did our best to prevent the hacker") and kick the actual issue into the long grass.
Yeah, look I'm all for FLOSS, but I don't like this stating conjecture as fact nonsense that is the bread and butter of western elites and technocrats one bit. It poisons the well.
Google used to offer code searching for public repos but then, expectably, they abandoned it. Now it's only used for google-owned/run projects. But when it was around it was really amazing. Github's code search is quite lame in comparison. I often just run ripgrep locally instead.
that's a really neat and plausible idea. i could imagine a case where the mbp essentially becomes a glorified shell for the iphone to dock into, and provides a large battery, keypad, speakers, and a screen without any of the core computer innards.

To cherry pick a "paragraph" from the text:

> Ignore that advice.

:)
Oh, that's cool. However, you'd still be sharing at least 1 core (and all peripheral hardware and memory access in the system) with the OS. A core, other hardware and memory that you could otherwise access directly from your application without having to wait for the OS to finish its business?

I'm not sure whether it's worth it to go through this trouble (writing for bare metal vs just using an off-the-shelve OS) in a real life trading-app scenario. Hence my wonder :)

It's always amazing to see what creative people can do with what is very likely a bug in the game engine. I suspect that the developpers of Line Rider didn't originally intend for people to be able to do the majority of the tricks on this track, but we could argue that it would be a lesser game if it didn't allow these techniques.

It reminds me of bunny hopping and similar "bugs" in old FPS engines that turned out so popular that they sometimes ended up being purposefully implemented in subsequent engines.

In all seriousness: this article reads more like an outline than an actual piece of writing. Good writing is all about pacing. Some of your sentences should be long and winding. While others are short.

That variance in rhythm keeps your reader involved in the piece. It's not necessary to convey a point-information is just as easily digested in bullet-point form-but it's necessary if you want to maintain your audience's attention over time.

My suspicion is that the near zero interest rates make investment not worth it. The same is in Europe (it's even negative).

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate

If investment (real investment, based on profit) is not worth it, and only the central bank wants a piece of the overpriced action, then we have essentially a centralized economy. This breeds stagnation.

I completely agree to you: a terminally ill person should be given whatever substance they want and even advised to take whatever a drug if it can make their last moments happier. Even if it's addictive or harms health - they don't need to maintain healthy living and society integration any more so why not?

I wouldn't even limit this to patients which are actually going to die soon and have no choice. Any patient eligible for euthanasia should be allowed to take any substance they want. It is absurd to let a person die but forbid them to take a shot of a substance "because it can harm their health" or whatever. I would even suggest them to take psychedelics - this may (or may not - a proper setting can be important) bring peace of mind and even sense of meaning in both dying and living, they pretty much may even change their mind.

The salt is defined to be random. To the extent you shove something that isn't random in as "salt" you don't get the desired consequences.

And I think ISP hand out WiFi routers stopped having daft names like this a decade or more ago. The only AP SSIDs that aren't partly random nonsense I see around here are my own (named "Reformed Distributed Republic") and somebody's FON router, the main ones I've seen elsewhere in my city are "eduroam" and "govroam" which are federated systems and so do not have a PSK - in all four cases you aren't going to help yourself by calculating rainbow tables with those SSIDs.

The US, murdering people with drones without due process and often by sloppiness and mistake. The land-grab in Guantanamo bay and some parts of middle-america. Supplying nuclear weapons to the likes of Erdogan and Merkel. Supporting an autocratic regime in Saudi-Arabia and a lot of other regions. Violating the Iranian nuke treaty unilaterally.
Last time I checked, there were preliminary results from 3 different vaccines, with teams based in Germany (BioNTech - Pfizer), USA (Moderna in Cambridge Mass) and the UK (Oxford University - AstraZeneca).

So the statement that "the USA has achieved several vaccines" _plural_ is sloppy wording and sloppy with the facts, and just as sloppy thinking.

GCP isn't staying forever. It's way inferior to existing solutions provided by AWS and Azure. Most of its current growth seems to be largely fueled by independent developers testing out something on a cool looking interface, rather than actual enterprise or mid-stage startup type customers. Even more so, extremely shit support for migration to GCP compared to Azure or AWS. Considering Google's penchant for killing services, I don't think it will last beyond 5 years.

To get a 10* speed up you would need 10* the power. Your 100w cpu would become 1kw! Its not a long term winning strategy to chase after better thermal dissipation. When we have 2d devices that running as fast as they can go and drawing 1w, then it's time to go vertical.
