They're adding an option to disable this in a future update. But I agree that it shouldn't have been forced to start with.
Yes, definitely. I've noticed that the most creatively productive periods of my life are when I have time/leisure to consume a lot of really diverse content without an agenda.
> Making Linux work on an ARM SOC is a lot harder than on a regular laptop.

Yep. It's going to be a while, and it'll be pretty rudimentary for some time. I think Linux on the Mac mini will be viable well before it's interesting on the MacBook.
Qemu performance without hardware virtualization is painfully slow and is not really practical for eg running a Kubernetes cluster.
If one predator like wolves goes away, another predator like ticks picks up the slack.

Interestingly, parasites with complex lifecycles are good indicators of biodiversity in general, because they lodge in multiple different hosts across the different levels of the ecosystem.

I honestly can’t think of any Apple policy that restricts what I run on my Mac. I haven’t upgraded to Big Sur yet, and maybe I just don’t rely on anything yet that’s against their policies and will be mad when I hit that point. What concretely are the awful policies that are restrictive on Mac that you’re thinking of?
In Denmark they say that you can tell what decade a danish person emigrated in just by hearing them speak - the language is degenerating very quickly.

Welsh is looking pretty stable after a deliberate effort. Whereas Irish had more speakers but is now more endangered. So I think it's more a function of how much people want - or don't want - to keep a language alive, than just of number of people.

There's a pretty good book by one of the OKC founders that goes into a lot of this data.

https://www.amazon.com/Dataclysm-Identity-What-Online-Offlin...

There's a bunch of good graphs and analysis in there (which matched my anecdotal experience of online dating).

The takeaway for me - if you're a man looking for a woman and you're not in the top 5% of attractiveness for men (really top 2%) then online dating is a waste of your time and you're better off doing pretty much anything else. This is doubly true in skewed dating markets like the bay area (less so in favorable markets like NYC, DC).

There's a lot of 'what you can't say' [0] in that book, sexual selection is skewed in lots of ways people pretend it isn't. I think it'd be better to acknowledge some of these things and consider it in an intellectual way - not so you can leverage it in some sleazy/misogynistic pick-up-artist way, but because understanding how it works helps you know how to behave/show confidence etc. Helps for the aspie-er among us where this doesn't come naturally (and is more important for men seeking women where for better or worse we have to be the ones to figure it out [1]).

That's awfully facile. Some exec has to sign off on this. Even if the attorney says X is probably okay, that exec is risking spending the next year talking to attorneys -- or worse -- if a xenophobic congressperson or racist treasury employee gets mad at his or her employer.

Is that the best use of extremely limited exec time, fully taking the mission into account?

> and the absence or dismissal of evidence in preference of beliefs and feelings.

This, I think is one of the most defining feature of Post-modernism where the notion of truth is challenged.

If every belief and every opinion can be as valid as any other (by virtue of itself) it is really hard to have a debate.

This is kind of a circular reasoning where the existence of the opinion is the proof of it's validity.
I disagree. In maths, the main competition is Greek letters. Kids today arent going to know their eta from their gamma. I find many undergrads can't remember the Greek alphabet.

Sure, girl wearing hat might be a bad choice, but I think "simple emoji like tree, fire, snowflake (for example). Do a good job of replacing Greek letters.

Another place I use emoji, is for a set of Labella which should have no order. Mathematica a often say they are naming some things 1,2,3, but please forget the integers have arthmetic and ordering. If you use fire, tree, snowflake as the names, no-one assumes an ordering, or arithmetic.

Luckily, most of the globe is still wild. We have barely started colonizing the oceans after all.

It would be interesting to rewild much of the land mass as well. However, politics is often against that. Eg see those heartfelt efforts to rescue dying towns in the Appalachians or the Great Plains in the US. Or the general subsidies for suburban / exurban living (like eg the whole structure of USPS).

It is probably pretty safe. The issues that occurred are now widely known about and pilot training will include dealing with an MCAS issue, so an exact repeat is incredibly unlikely.

Although the FAA and EASA have certified the Max as safe to fly again, it will only be for airframes that have had the required modifications to prevent the runway trim and only once operation instead of continuous. They have also allowed the pilots to override by the stick which they weren’t able to do before.

Statistically it’s highly likely that there won’t be any further occurrences of this issue with the 737 Max again.

Depending on when you are doing it may be that the airline won’t have time to train the pilots in which case they won’t be flying it at the start of next year. However I expect that to change over the year and that most 737 Max flights are back in operation by the end of the year, or at least as many as are needed to fly in the reduced circumstances of today’s pandemic.
> I don't think this is an issue for Docker. They can run an ARM64 Linux VM instead of the current x86 one, and then use QEMU to run x86 Docker containers within it if they want.

If youre at the point where you have to run a container running inside an emulator inside a VM on an ARM Mac then you should just get an x86 linux machine and enjoy performance and native support for containers.

> Blosc [...] has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc is the first compressor (that I'm aware of) that is meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but also to accelerate memory-bound computations (which is typical in vector-vector operations).

What's the difference between disinformation and lying?
I recently switched from Comcast to AT&T Fiber, and yes, my speeds are up according to speed tests. But on certain routes I only get 30Kbps (sometimes to Azure!). Wikipedia and Twitter only loads half the time. Sites that don't use TLS sometimes load a gibberish.

So yes, the speed is faster, but I kinda want to switch back to Comcast. And don't get me started about the idiotic, mandatory $10/month shitty router they require you to use.
so you're saying somehow Rosetta2 is looking at an x86 binary and figuring out exactly which portions of the program rely on the TSO ordering for correctness and then dynamically switches to weak ordering for parts that might be able to do without?

I don't really know much about the internals of macOS but figuring out when there are applications for example running on two different cores (since TSO is only really needed for multi-core use cases) that need to access the same memory and then applying TSO on the fly like that seems difficult. If that is what Rosetta2 is actually doing, that is impressive.

They're claiming $500k per day and 5 launches per day, so the cost would be $500/lb. Obviously there's still an awful lot of work to be done to actually pull off that figure.

If they do pull it off, the logical next step would be to use SpaceX-style reusable rockets as well, in which case you'd save both fuel and rocket costs.
My physics teacher in high school would sometimes replace variables with smilies to make a point that the symbol representing the variable is not the thing itself and I think it helped some students who had problems solving the exact same equation with different variable names. Of course naming conventions are important and were mostly used, but the smilies always stuck with me for some reason.
The psychological benefits of writing by hand
True, but Go is far ahead in this important domain and it is an open question whether Java can catch up.
> I tend to start by writing a few basic usage examples and documenting it

This is exactly what I do. Before I even think about the internals of a function, module or endpoint, I imagine that it exists in the ideal form that I or any other programmer would want, and then write a few usage examples. Then I pick the best one and implement it.
"News is what someone doesn't want published. All else is publicity".

A useful exercise is to look at a news site and ask which items started as a press release, or are simply an opinion piece, vs ones which contain info someone had to go and dig out. For many lesser news sources, it's 100% PR, because they have no real reporters.

That's the real absence of information.
Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but curious to know if you have thought how, practically, you'd enforce something like this?
Based on this article, I guess they've determined they're in GDPR compliance and it's the merchants who have to sort that out :)

I believe the poster meant "normal" in the sense that it's a conventional memory technology for laptops. (ie LPDDR4 not GDDR like had been suggested above).
> Otherwise it's just a non-issue.

Nah, sorry, but you're wrong. I had to upgrade my laptop because I wanted to run Firefox, IntelliJ IDEA and an Android emulator on the same machine. Nothing else. This was not possible on 8GB ram.

So it's not like multiple VMs are needed and above scenario is pretty average for a common mobile developer (but still not an average user, I admit)

Second thing is, lots of games require 16 GB RAM. Maybe gamers are still not average users, I don't know.
We have colonized the oceans. Large trawler fleets are fishing many species to the brink of collapse.
Treating APIs as the same as GUIs means introducing discoverability, the primary advantage of GUIs over e.g command line.

Discoverability in an API would normally imply HATEOAS / hypermedia, the altar at which REST zealots worship.

But whereas the discoverability provided by GUIs are very real and well accepted, the evidence is nothing like as clear for HATEOAS.

Sure it's nice when you're noodling around in curl to spot a handy url taking you to the next page of results, but I'm really not sold on the benefits beyond that.

In a GUI, we are typically trying to achieve a task and then get out. Did I manage to add that txt record to my dns entries in Route 53? Success, and case closed.

But when I'm playing with an API, I'm typically trying to understand how I will later automate my interactions with it. I'm not trying to achieve a one off end goal - instead I'm trying to understand how to write code that will - later - achieve that end goal over and over again.

These are fundamentally different scenarios, and that explains why documentation is so important for APIs. I doubt that many people have ever jumped into any reasonably complex API using curl or postman or whatever, and then worked out from the responses everything they need to know to write their code. Nope, they used the documentation. They didn't reap the theoretical benefits of HATEOAS.

tldr; APIs are really nothing like UIs.

INB4 walled gardens and code signing: stop drinking the koolaid and do your own research
Right now, no but in the long term, probably yes.

Podman, which is a docker alternative also refuses to support docker-compose and points users towards kubernetes yaml.

From their repo:

"We believe that Kubernetes is the defacto standard for composing Pods and for orchestrating containers, making Kubernetes YAML a defacto standard file format. Hence, Podman allows the creation and execution of Pods from a Kubernetes YAML file (see podman-play-kube). Podman can also generate Kubernetes YAML based on a container or Pod (see podman-generate-kube), which allows for an easy transition from a local development environment to a production Kubernetes cluster."

On the other hand, docker-compose is now a proper spec instead of a docker only tool which may prolong its life

They actually got the CFTC to allow 28 days for settlement. Some of the other players, such as Gemini, wanted 2 days. If Coinbase can't live with 28 days for settlement, it's because they don't want the money leaving their control.
Governments of oil-producing poorer nations often ask of companies producing fossil fuels that they give some part of their production at a profitable, but under market prices, in order to be allowed to operate.

My point wasn't just embezzling, it was just distribution. A large section of your population might just not have a bank account.

Also, it's way harder to embezzled fuel that money, and I'm baffled that you'd think some kind of government official could steal an appreciably high volume of fuel to be worth enough for the risk without involving a large number of accomplices and thus exponentially more risk. It's really incomparable.

Saving an Image as Base64
Maximize the Potential of Your Images with Online Real Estate Photo Editing – YT
Sometimes you want to get things done fast and dirty, when it comes to image uploading via your web form it can take some time to create the uploader, server endpoint to handle the image then save it to a shared folder, and then serve it when needed back to the users. This is an awful lot of work that needs to be done although all you want is just to save a small icon or image.
This is a corollary to that code should be written foremost to be understood by humans, and only secondary by computers. It’s not only true for interfaces.
I should move back to Switzerland. Shortly before I left in 2016, we had a small ISP, init7 providing symmetrical 1Gbps connections for 70 USD.

I just realized thanks to this article, that the x86 memory-model emulation is not only available in the M1, but has been present going back to at least the A12 series. Apple has been planning this a long time.
One of the things I've noticed recently, and especially since the CPU space started finally moving again is how much of a divide there now is between the computer literate, and the computer illiterate.

It probably creates a social divide at least that which existed when the majority of people couldn't read or write, and is just as "not OK".

Example of this in the first paragraph of this article:
> For everyday users who just want to browse the web, stream some Netflix, maybe edit some documents, computers have been “perfectly fine” for the last decade.

These kind of things now read to me like "for the everyday peasant, that just wants to go to swim in the river, seal the roof of their house and get to work on time, clay tablets and stylus's have been perfectly fine for the last century"

Even the title screams this kind of thinking, computers are not black magic, any more than medicine or writing were magic or sorcery back when burning witches was a thing.

Makes me a little sad.
"they've determined they're in GDPR compliance"

What do you mean by: on the other hand? Are you saying that by not supporting communism one supports imperialism, slave trade and wars? And every time I write communism is bad, do I also have to put a disclaimer that a bunch of other ideologies are also bad? All the things you have enumerated have nothing to do with capitalism. Norway (or almost any other capitalistic country) is capitalistic and as far as I know it hasn't invaded or enslaved anyone for instance. You should also remember that the capitalistic north has defeated the feudalistic south (slave owners) in the civil war.
By default stripe.js (one version ago), the default button they included on their getting start page does the same thing, it took us a really long time to implement the custom api that will only submit the credit card number info + amount charged + zip to strip and rest of stuff (customer name, email address, phone number and transactions, etc) to our server.

What bothers me about these lowering the bar for new front end developer/designer is that it is free feast for these kind of non compliance :(
Excuse me, I may be dumb, but I never understood this. Given the sheer size of the universe, and accepting the fact that we cannot overcome speed of light, wouldn't it be more plausible that indeed, the universe is teeming with life, but everything is so far away that the chances of two civilizations ever making contact is miniscule. Even the light we see in our sky is millions or billions of light years old, so it's quite likely the "observation window" to spot somebody out there is just too damn small.
To state the obvious, I know some of us white folks have despicable views on race. But, surely we’re not the only people using the race filters on dating apps. Maybe in the most innocent of ways as a proxy for cultural values but it’s used by non-whites too.
