I had a suspicion upon reading Moorhead's review that he was trying to use familiar enterprise Windows software on the M1 instead of trying to use native apps:

> So far, I have experienced application crashes in Microsoft Edge, Outlook, WinZip and Logitech Camera Control. I got installation errors with Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, a Samsung SSD backup application, and Xbox 360 Controller for Mac.

What Mac user tries to use Edge and WinZip? A Samsung backup application? Xbox 360? Such a bizarre collection of software that snubs macOS's native browser.
I have used the latest iphone and the latest galaxy note and honestly the note feels faster. Maybe because of the screen refresh? But then the same question: what use is a faster chip when the end result feels slower?

I suspect the picture does vary somewhat around the world, but in the UK there are eight government approved organisations which are allowed to certify for organic labelling [1] and the EU has something similar[2]. Because the organic logo adds financial value to products, there is a significant interest in protecting its usage. You may disagree with the content of the legislation, but it does mean something.

In any global industry there are going to be outliers and people breaking the rules, but suggesting that organic farming destroys soil and uses more harmful chemicals than non-organic farming as a general rule sounds very much like FUD.

I think it's a bit of both... I don't doubt for a second that Apple creating both the CPU and Software together are why the X86 emulation is as good as it is.

I'm actually thinking about getting one of these as I've been without a personal laptop for a while now. That said, I'm waiting for Docker support to get flushed out a bit more as I wouldn't mind getting work done. I am interested on how the really high performance ram effects my workflows, as I've often gone over 16gb as a sticking point, got my work laptop upgraded to 32gb earlier in the year and my personal desktop is at 64gb.

I'm not sure it will replace my r9-3950X desktop for getting things done, but it's absolutely compelling for its' space. I swore off macs for a while now, and this might pull me back in.
Are there statistics that show taser use decreased the number of bullets fired/hitting civilians by the police? I find conflicting results. https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/police-use-force-impact-... (2011):

A new study suggests that less-lethal weapons decrease rates of officer and offender injuries

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/theres-no-evidence-tasers-re... (2018):

“We find no substitutions between Tasers and firearms,” Professor Jeffrey Grogger told CNBC. The study reviewed 36,112 use-of-force incidents in Chicago
Very true, there are drawbacks to using 3rd party authentication and I think a good (at least) middle ground is to purchase a hosted appliance that handles storage and authentication. Of course if you are a large organization that can hire people who do know what they are doing, you are golden. Sadly, these are not the companies that I generally interact with.
Agreed. But if you're walking without a mask you are MUCH less likely to kill someone...
It would be nice if that information were available in later stages, without having to take notes.

I'd like to see the ability to "unbundle" the composite components. Maybe an intermediate pin in (say) the XOR or half-adder has exactly the signal you need to save a component in a later stage.
In my experience that's not true. A Note20 ultra feels much faster and smoother to use than Iphone 12 pro.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.

We don't need kinder weapons. We need a way to stop using weapons so much.

Thinly veiled advertisements for Axon (makers of Taser!) only exploit concerns and don't fix the real problems.
You’re an engineer. You care about engineering. This is fine.

They care about mathematical background and laying out definitions. Academics care about those pointless things. This is also fine. If you don’t care about these things, don’t read it.

You don’t write a system like this to say: “Here’s a system I wrote, go and use it in practice” as much as “What have we learned from trying this?” It’s the job of an engineer to synthesize useful things from the abstract knowledge.
I think the blanket insistence that anybody who has an argument for this must be racist is breathtakingly hypocritical.
We can relatively easily solve the problem of electricity production using nuclear, renewables and therefore make carbon-free electricity. But electricity is only 30% of our energy consumption.
The boomers inherited the American system of the WWII generation and proceeded to dismantle it, cutting taxes for the super-rich, halting development of infrastructure, erecting a NIMBY "vetocracy" that slowed home construction and caused housing prices to skyrocket, and offshoring productive work and replacing it with financial shell games and dead-end service jobs.

GenX had the benefit of starting their careers toward the tail end of the wave of prosperity the WWII generation created and were therefore able to get established before the shit hit the fan in 2008.

Millennials were born once the ship had already sailed.
The whole isn't the fastest, the biggest comes up with big caveats.

For example the iPhones don't have the longest battery, but the phone that has the longest battery has two times the amount of battery, while having a much higher consumption than iPhones. If Apple decides to stick a 5000+ mah battery in an iPhone - Android phones would have no way of catching up to its battery life.

Another big thing being the latest screen tech - Apple can't afford to do an OLED screen on the iPad, since Samsung and LG can't possibly manufacture enough OLED screens to meet demand. Where Samsung is perfectly fine doing it, when they won't sell enough tablets to matter.

In the end it's not that the iPhone is clearly inferior to Androids, it's mostly that Apple has some numbers in mind that they consider optimal and going beyond those won't increase their sales (certain amount of battery, certain screens, etc).
My experience with "free" healthcare is horrible. I almost died because of waiting times and incompetence and it costs so much in tax, I could pay for a quite comprehensive private insurance for the money and you most of the time end up paying privately anyway, although private healthcare is not as expensive as in the US.
This is confusing definitions again. Are you using "inflationary" here to refer to the supply of the currency? If so, then sure, but 1) refers to price inflation/deflation, which is not a predictable thing.

So you can compare how "inflationary" currencies are by 2 & 3, but not by 1 -- that's not a mechanical effect. Even the most stringent monetarist in the world wouldn't at a minimum factor in monetary velocity into the value equation. And monetary velocity is a behavioral thing that can be mediated both by availability of current and future capital as well as liquidity preferences of individuals viewed in aggregate.
Can we recharge carbon to bare soil and make it erosion proof using mycelium, if it rains a lot?

No, you can't. You can come to the conclusion that if there exits an x with sin(x) = 0, then cos(x) = 1. The expression as it stands is true for every x \in R without any additional assumptions.

Not to engage the broader question of whether socialism has any success stories, but I think one could more sympathetically read GP's "successful socialist country" in this context as "a country successfully converted to idealogical alignment with the Soviet Union"
The thing people always forget when comparing salaries is that a huge portion of FAANG comp, especially at senior levels, is stock grants. It's a relatively recent phenomena that stock grants equal or beat cash comp, and 99% of employers in the US don't grant any stock to anyone below the C level. A lot of places don't have any bonus, or do a pro-forma "Christmas bonus" type of thing - I worked one place where every February 1, every person in the company got a bonus that was 7.5% of their salary, no matter what.

Comparing a FAANG's total comp to your total comp is a fool's errand. You need to compare cash to cash unless you are also getting a variable performance bonus and stock grants. $190k for an E5 at FB (which is basically "Senior Engineer") is still above-average for the US as a whole but it's not insane. You can certainly reach that in Chicago or DC or Austin but it might take a level higher and a few extra years. I can say pretty confidently that you're not going to be making $380k (FB E5 total comp) in Chicago or DC or Austin unless you're doing HFT and even then you're not likely to get anything in terms of stock that could provide long-term value, it's going to be mostly bonuses and probably $150k cash comp.
I’ve had code stolen by an employee who used it to start a competing service. I sued him in Federal court and won.

You didn’t have your code stolen.

Your code was free and open, and the header he removed stated that fact.

What you had was a violation of your terms of use, and I while I agree the guy’s probably a scumbag, the only issue here is that he was seen doing it.

Rest assured, others have done it without being seen, it’s a fact of life for a public code repo.

I suggest you:

(a) change “copywrite” to “copyright” in your code, since a copywrite is someone who writes stories, and a copyright is a legal term claiming ownership;

(b) file a dmca takedown notice with github; I run a hosting service and when we receive those, we take action;

(c) move on. Life’s too short, and all he has to do is republish it to another repo and keep you angry and not working on your code.

(d) actually file a copyright with your code so that he doesn’t do it then sue you for using his code;

I feel for you, but scumbags are what they are and there’s not much you can do about it unless you spend a ton of money to find and file a suit against him that you will probably not win.

My condolences.
>In the first phase of the project, which was announced internally to a small group in October, engineers said they had changed the company’s systems to deprioritize policing contemptuous comments about “Whites,” “men” and “Americans.” Facebook still considers such attacks to be hate speech, and users can still report it to the company. However, the company’s technology now treats them as “low-sensitivity” — or less likely to be harmful — so that they are no longer automatically deleted by the company’s algorithms.

If you want to destroy a multi-racial democracy, alienating and scapegoating its largest, poorest (in absolute population terms [0][1][2]), and most well-armed ethnicity during a period of economic instability seems like a great approach.

This is a great idea, and you are not the first to suggest it. I just haven't gotten around to implement it.

Embedding plaintext in an image increases both the difficulty of

I know it's very comfortable to use and everything, but it just feels like a waste.
That does sound a little sketchy... though I can see wanting to use the 360 controller, would like to see a review on how well most of the Steam supported games run for example. I'd been considering doing an ITX build for the living room, mostly for emulation/games... the new mac mini is definitely in the consideration, and seems to sit right between a lot of the nuc/sff options and mini-itx options and punch above it's weight against the latter.
Plus they seem to last a lot longer than your average android smartphone in terms of longer term performance/updates. I'm holding out a (faint) hope that they'll make at least one generation with USBC before going port-less as that's the main thing stopping me from switching
Yes! It is very controversial. Apparently MS Teams has lots of insights with the platform, an people is raising some privacy concerns around it.

Although even if Google were to add support for TimescaleDB, it would only be for the Apache-2 version of the database, which lacks many of its key features (compression, continuous aggregates, multi-node scale out, data retention policies, job scheduling framework, various analytical functions, etc.)

Of course, Timescale Cloud is available across 20+ GCP regions =)

For certain values of "cool", for certain tasks.
PHP truly has exemplary built in security functions, other language / standard library teams should look at this in awe. It's pretty unique that a language, among its included batteries, actually makes it easy to correctly not roll your own crypto.
Breadth versus depth seems to be the play outside of their absolute core offerings. It allows people to dip their toes into something with minimal commitment and by the time they realize the shortcomings they might conclude that migrating for those features just isn't worth it.

So this give them a bit of lock-in. Come for the EC2, stay for the minimally viable queues, machine learning, containers, etc.

Makes sense.

I remember reading that Africa had some decent economic growth more recently. But yeah, the time before 2000 was rather bleak.
Agreed. While these laptops are certainly great, the claim is quite believable and not that impressive when you consider how truly mediocre the average laptop is.
I always start with timing it. The thing is many projects I end up in it feels like a death by a thousand cuts. Every sub function is very quick but overall together they take up tons of time. I worked one project where I took logins from 6 seconds to sub 100ms. No one cared or even noticed. Even though it was top 10 on every metric we had.
I think you might be misinterpreting Tailwind's "pillars":

> - Developers don’t want to write css so they add insane amounts of nuisance in templates. Impossible to read the design language.

It's not so much that developers don't want to write CSS, but that it's largely impossible to delete lines of CSS.

> - The original author of Tailwind complains about naming classes in the css but Tailwind ironically names things that are “tx—-bb-4-2” or whatever the hell that means. No thanks, I’ll write “customer-support-card” or something useful. Maybe even more generic - “card”.

So those are different complaints about naming. Your complain is that names are hard to understand. Tailwind's complaint is that trying to define "generic" (i.e. reusable) classes is practically impossible. Is "card" the right abstraction? Is "customer-support-card"?

> - Tailwind’s front page is everything that’s wrong with this. Moving around components with “mr-4” tags and shifting it up. Left. Right. Making it larger. That means that there is no standardized design language and you’ll create design that will have no cohesive unity. One component will have “mr-4” margin and another “mr-3”.

The idea is that all those margins are part of a set of "constraints" that all compose well together to form a cohesive unity. More about this is written here: https://styled-system.com/guides/why-powers-of-two

> We have the technology. Sass can create compositional components with reusability and logical hierarchy.

This might be the main point: Tailwind means you're not defining reusable styles. All the styles are specific to the component, and the component is the thing you reuse - which we were defining already. So it actually gets rid of yet another tool to create compositional components with reusability and logical hierarchy.

(It's less fast for me to get to something working than e.g. using Bulma is, but I'm expecting that it will rid me of a number of the pains I run to when I'm hitting the limits of its built-in component styles.)
Flagship iPhone absolutely crushes any flagship Android phone in benchmarks its not even close. Has been like this for many years.

It is also very common that people that like Android are not aware of this for some reason.
> The concept of "understanding" a complex system in its entirety is futile to begin with, that's why we call it "complex," that's what that word means.

Complex: "a whole made up of complicated or interrelated parts"

Complicated: "1: consisting of parts intricately combined a complicated recipe complicated machinery
2 : difficult to analyze, understand, or explain"

The thesis here seems to be that an excessively complex system becomes complicated, and that nobody is able to understand a very complicated huge system to the point of being able to control it.

"Jacques Ellul’s claim that technique became an autonomous phenomenon during the middle of the 20th century, and subsequently a system, means that the influence people have on technique is much less decisive than the influence technique has on people." (Willem H. Vanderburg, 2004)
I did some time series data benchmarking recently. Most large data is "time series" data, but I will not digress on terminology right now. For the usecase I was looking at my results for InfluxDB did not qualitatively disagree the above blogpost. Timescale got better compression efficiency, faster query results, more constrained memory usage, but lower ingest speed at high concurrencies blocked by WAL insert locking and single threaded compression. If InfluxDBs measurement oriented data model and query interface is a good fit for your use case, and you don't have high cardinality data, then it might be convenient to use it, but it's a terrible choice for anything outside its niche.

However none of the databases tested above is anywhere close to the efficiency of a column store database that can do vectorized execution over batches of rows. ClickHouse is a good example of one such database. For queries that have to shift through large amounts of data, either filtering or aggregating it, the performance difference is easily >10x. I was seeing aggregation performance above 2B rows/s and that was I/O throughput bound.
Yep, that is feasible today. Coastal ferries and routes counted in hours.

Overall experience feels better on android. Few things that make difference for me.

1. Notifications are leagues ahead of anything on iOS.

2. Little accessibility features like sound search, automatic caption, text selection from any screen/pictures, better integration with google assistant adds up.

3. Customizability. Yes, even now iPhone is super limited in the layout you can have on home screen or the new app launcher. You can't group things or put them wherever you want on the screen. This is ridiculous.

4. Android phones have higher refresh rates. Almost any flagship in 2020. The punch hole camera feels better than the notch. Face ID = problematic in the pandemic with masks. Though, I like it generally but apple could have given touch ID on the same device as well.

5. For tinkerers, it has better support again. Youtube vanced, tachiyomi, advanced adblockers, "real" firefox with extensions, etc are only available on android.

The best part is you can get the pixel 4a for $300 with some carriers. 3 years of updates which is what typical upgrade cycle looks like for iPhone users even if they get "updates" for longer.
