I would love to know your streaming setup for this. I did an interactive project using Twitch/YouTube chat a month back, controlmylights.net, and I found the delay on both of services was pretty bad. And you can't use Twitch's low latency mode on Safari/Edge. Also, unless you can monetize on YouTube you can't embed a live YouTube stream.

> "If this was your last Thanksgiving, would you spend it in quarantine?"

Yes, I would, out of consideration for the welfare of others. While my tiny individual contribution may make no visible difference, our collective ability to act for the common good is what will determine how many fathers and mothers bury a son/daughter, how many children will be bereft of a parent, and how many families mourn a loved one we will see over the course of the pandemic and I will therefore do my duty. It is the decent thing to do.
I don't think retain/release perf has anything to do with memory consumption, but I have seen a bunch of reviews claiming that 8GB is perfectly fine.

This is fascinating to me, because:

(a) every 8GB Mac I've used in the past has been unusably slow

(b) since upgrading my 32GB Hackintosh to Big Sur, my usual 40GB working set is only about 20GB.

(c) My 2015 16GB MBPr with Big Sur is also using about half as much physical memory on the same workload. Swappiness is up a little, but I haven't noticed.

So my guess is that something in Big Sur has dramatically reduced memory consumption and that fix is being commingled with the M1 announce.
I get that being able to run arbitrary code on a device is often not that important in practice.

How about being able to not run any code that you don't want your device to run? No DRM, no nag screens, no tracking, etc etc...

A non-rooted phone very much is a general-purpose computer, just not for you.
Did you know it is perfectly possible for a computer to exfiltrate data without physical connections and without even having a networking card?

A few examples: Using speakers or microphones to transmit arbitrary data via ultrasounds. Making the CPU/GPU fans vibrate in a way that sends encoded bits. Blinking the screen to emit electromagnetic waves. Transfering certain data patterns between RAM and CPU so fast that they produce oscillations, effectively converting the BUS into a GSM antenna that can emit arbitrary data over a regular cellular network. Turning the fans off to change the heat signature in a way that transmits information.... Or even simply bliking a light to send data through regular lightwaves?

Scientists discover new ways to exfiltrate data basically every other year, how can you be so certain you've thought of every possible way?
Right, and since the online Garfields have unique colours, and future licensees can't just use them. They'd need to put in the effort to re-colourize, or pay the site for their colourized versions too.

He or she is senior and respected because experience is valued. A lot of people are going to feel the cold wind of ageism and wish they hadn’t been so eager to stab their older coworkers in the back for the sake of which JavaScript framework was hot this week.
Another linux guy here, on the market for a new linux laptop.

After reading the article, which linux-compatible laptops, would you say, come the closest to compete with the new generation of Apple products? Long battery life, plenty of power, good screen, good speakers? Is it the inevitable Dell XPS 13 and Thinkpad X1 Carbon, or are there any other darlings among the linux community?
Sure although I would say you can't just throw it into log bins automatically.. some data you need to massage it to what makes the most sense.
Yeah, I think I remember those! If it were me, I would turn the segmented bar into a checklist, since you can add a description and I think it looks nicer. But the approach was a good one imo.
I have the same experience but am fairly certain the story sounds accurate.

I use to go to a fair amount of underground parties after last calls when I was younger, and there are definitely people out there. I’d bet places like Bushwick are a good bet to look with the big industrial spaces.

Even if it was 15 parties a weekend, times 500 people a party... it’d still only be 7,500 people in a city of 8 million (that’s if 400,000 truly left), I’m sure it’s concentrated primarily among ravers, and dancers, and clubbers.
Where did you read this rumor? I'm interested in the details (I know about the downtimes)
I don't think GM is leading, that's why I mentioned the German automakers. GM, at least, isn't falling behind like Ford seems to want to.

There are RV hookups somewhere in most random woods a few hundred km from any town in the US. Many of them are already 220V ("dryer plugs", good for a "Level 2" charge) and all you would need is a plug adapter to charge from any one of them. Everyone thinking of chargers like gas pumps is underestimating how many "chargers" currently exist in the wild. The auto industry hasn't helped matters by over-engineering ("for safety!") their plugs so much, making it seem a lot less like a plug is just a plug is just a plug (just like the early 1900s used to make and everyone has on almost all their walls).

I think when a changeover occurs, there's going to be a huge re-evaluation of the parts of the electric grid we've already built. I don't know if that means that RV plugs everywhere will need to be "upgraded" to credit card reading "proper chargers" or if we'll see a growing industry of "dumb plug adapters" from the dumb fancy EV "charger" plugs to more classic situations like dryer plugs. There's already a lot more plugs in the world than gas stations.

(Also the Volt has a very tiny battery compared to what is being released today. The equation is very different when you factor in current EV ranges rather than trying to extrapolate from your current Volt's range.)

iPhones and iPads also have relatively small amounts of RAM compared to Android devices in the same class, so I wonder if Apple is doing something smart with offloading memory to fast SSD storage in a way that isn't noticeable to the user.
Ahhh, this looks perfect, I would definitely pay for this, but an email service without web access is an absolute no go for me. I'd much prefer it to live there normally anyway, and I often need to quickly log into my email elsewhere - I don't want to have to install & configure an email app to do that!

> But I think its worth thinking about the likelihood that a "slower" computer running Linux could probably serve the actual user better in terms of "getting stuff done." Moreover, I think we're pretty close to "beauty" parity here as well.

This is just not true. I'm sorry but I've used linux on the desktop many times, using many different distros, and many different desktop environments. It's shiny and pretty when you first install and then very quickly you run into apps that don't follow that design methodology and it takes you out of it. Desktop linux is not ready for average users and honestly it may never be. Also "getting stuff done." and desktop linux do not belong in the same sentence. I've personally spent and watched coworkers spend hours and hours tinkering with graphics cards drivers or other random quirks. Linux is amazing, don't get me wrong, it's a workhorse with immense power and the ability to tinker to your heart's content BUT most users, myself included, don't want to put in the upfront and ongoing work to keep it in tip-top condition.

I will forever use linux on servers and enjoy every minute of it but for the desktop linux is nowhere near ready for primetime. I've watched too many people online and in-person preach about linux on the desktop and then watched them having to spend tons of time tinkering with it so they can "get stuff done". Is it possible to be productive on the linux desktop? Absolutely but I value my time way too highly to spend the effort to make that a reality.

No idea. As with all truth, you should check with multiple sources for corroboration first. I know in Hawaii at least there was a massive DCCA (chamber of commerce) initiative started way back in 2012 to outfit all public schools with gigabit fiber and all universities with 10gigabit fiber. Hospitals also got fiber connections though I don't know how fast, and there were a few 10gigabit undersea cables laid between the islands themselves. The state government started offering incentives and subsidies to encourage more cable landings on Oahu. This was also the same program in which they began installing the FirstNet system and the 5G infrastructure. No idea what's going on on the mainland.

I think there's two issues here that are often wrapped up together: 1. what is the status of my task, and 2. did the computer get stuck

If we could be sure the computer wouldn't get stuck (which is just a bug), then progress bars and spinners would be fine. If the task is as granular as you suggest, progress bars would be a great visual indicator, much better than text.

But since computers do get stuck, additional indicators should help with that. A spinner is supposed to show that a process isn't stuck, but those are fallible too. A textual representation ("bytes currently downloaded") sounds like a great addition to a progress bar. I've seen this a lot on linux distro installers, where you can click "details" below the progress bar to see the console output.

I see this comment all the time and I'm never sure which of the two stances (or a third? don't want to pigeonhole you) people hold:

a) Offsets don't do what they claim to do, as in the earth in the universe where you give the offset has the same carbon problem as the one in the universe where you don't make the offset, or

b) Offsets are bad even if they do work. There's something morally repugnant about them even if logically they are moral.

From your wording and most of the responses I assume you hold a, but the tone and comparisons to indulgences, etc. make me think you actually (also?) hold b?

I personally hold the contrary opinion to b, but I'm not sure about a) so I'm always a little skeptical of the companies claiming to use carbon offsets. But the problem is definitely one of technology (measuring and holding people accountable to the offsetting) rather than an inherent philosophical contradiction in the concept of offsets.

From the tweet information in Tweet thread:

"Esoteric metrics based on analyzing extensive data about employee activities has been mostly the domain of fringe software vendors. Now it's built into MS 365.

A new feature to calculate 'productivity scores' turns Microsoft 365 into an full-fledged workplace surveillance tool

Employers/managers can analyze employee activities at the individual level (!), for example, the number of days an employee has been sending emails, using the chat, using 'mentions' in emails etc.

Showing data on individuals can be turned off, but it's activated by default. This normalizes extensive workplace surveillance in a way not seen before.

In addition, Microsoft lures companies into sharing employee data with Microsoft in order to show them how their numbers compare to the numbers of other organizations.

As a result, Microsoft gets access to a massive stack of employee data across many organizations."

Looks very cool, but, no, I don't see this solving any problem an average desktop user would have.

Zipties are cheap as dirt and work exceptionally well for organizing cables into bundles and tucking them out of way and out of sight. There are other equally economical ways of doing the same, e.d. under-table cable baskets and such. It's also a problem that generally needs solving just once, so whatever does that in the cheapest and quickest way wins.

I also don't see many people being able to justify paying extra for a beautiful looking underside of a table.

You need to understand and answer these questions, and it's extremely hard to do it well without serious preparations: "What do you want the other person to take from it?", "Is it the most constructive way to phrase it?", "How would success look like if they will act now?", "Is there some time constraint that you think is important for them to know?".

Alternatively, the site could limit the number of introductions that users could send per month. For example, if there were 10 men for every 1 woman, but men could only contact one woman per month (but women could contact a new man every day), women might be willing to give those introductions more consideration.

In fact, rather than hard-coding those rate limits (or generating them algorithmically from the gender distribution of accounts) it might be viable to let each user decide on the limit themselves. It may not be a good idea to show users the specific rate limit that another user has chosen, though, as that number might give all sorts of weird signalling about how "desirable" they consider themselves to be.
