When you have a 2-week mandatory quarantine in Australia and NZ it makes the concept of easy travel a bit stretched. It's really shown how isolated they are.
And pretty much any Italian dish you make with meat, is American Italian. Made by Italian-Americans once they got to America and meat was plentiful.

So does that make it "not Italian"? It was first-generation cooks that made it. Certainly not "Traditional Italian" but so what?
I've had hardware stores tell me where I could get the solution that I needed at their competitor, because they didn't have it. Those are the interactions I have been most impressed with from any organization. It makes me want to buy stuff from them just to reward their honesty and helpfulness.

I must admit that I haven't really had that experience from many tech companies or "professional" companies.
Tactics are really important on amateur play. Perhaps the most important thing. If you know a few basic principles (move each piece at most once in the opening, control the center, etc), and you can spot tactics, you will reach a quite high level. Heck, even ignoring strategic principles at lower levels, as long as you have good tactical vision you will go quite far ahead because the opponent will make mistakes.

There are not always "tactics" in chess games in the sense of having a move sequence being considerably better than any other one. Nevertheless, when there are, there are factors that limit your opponent's choices and one of these factors is a check.
> does anyone know if he fought in the Great War

He was too old to fight in WW1. He was born in 1866, so he was 48 when the war started. He did work at Wellington House (the War Propaganda Bureau) towards the end of the war, though.

There is a potential difference, I think.

Consider if this universe exists only as a simulation (I’ve met some theists making this category of comparison but with different language). The laws of physics are identical in both directions for the arrow of time, so the starting point of the simulation from the point one view of the outside universe can be any point in time from the perspective of the inhabitants.

In this case, the “before” in the outer universe is a logical rather than temporal one from the point of view of us inhabitants.

I've heard that radio astronomy was greatly supported by the military because it can be used to monitor for incoming ICBMs. I guess if Arecibo were still used for such purposes, they wouldn't have let it fall into disrepair. How is such monitoring conducted in this day and age?
> Would I be correct saying that you're happy because in one stroke Apple has moved you from grey area to explicitly permitted, and part of your competition from grey area to explicitly forbidden?

I don't know how any competition would be negatively impacted by Apple implementing these terms, unless the competition was already selling services that were on a short-term basis (below 24 hours).

And to circle back around, this EULA enables MacStadium's hardware hosting competition to enter the market... thus comes Amazon into the playing field. I just don't see how having to compete with Amazon is, all of a sudden, a better deal for MacStadium. If anything, it just highlights the volatile nature of running a business in the Apple ecosystem.

> For the record in no way I think that Apple took this decision to favor you or anyone else except themselves. It just seems that you won a regulatory lottery.

"Congratulations, you're a winner... your prize is to compete with Amazon!" Some would certainly wear it with a badge of honor!

Ha! "Compensate for the value of their labor"! Ha!

If Americans were compensated for the value of their labor, the minimum wage would be around $28/hr.

Labor is paid the 'going rate'. Whatever the employer can get away with. That's all.

Btw the work week in America used to be 6 days, 12 hours a day. Went to 5x8 - didn't change pay much.
I just got myself a Galaxy tablet and I was wondering about drawing apps. Nothing fancy, just to spend time away from coding. Do you have any recommendations?
> All of the locking down by computer vendors we’ve seen to date is pretty well explained by more boring but strong commercial benefits (e.g. app stores)

Yes. See also the copyright and advertising industries. Free unrestricted computing is directly opposed to the business interests of these multi-billion dollar industries. Simply because it gives me the power to block their stupid ads and tracking or copy their data without paying for it. They obviously don't want anyone to have this power and the only way to achieve that outcome is by destroying computing freedom. In order for me to not have this power, they must necessarily make it so that my computer does not obey me.

I have no doubt there are more examples out there that I don't know about. Hopefully others will post about them as well.

Like I said, these commercial interests are nothing compared to the big picture surrounding government control of computers. This is already a reality in certain niches such as radio: government agencies already try to control how radio equipment works and I have no doubt they will require trusted computing if they don't already. There have been several attempts to regulate encryption in the US. In the other Five Eyes, particularly Australia, these attempts have been more or less successful.

> I’ll worry when they outlaw/restrict at least one of: unrestricted browsers, wordpress, wordpress hosting.

What makes you think they won't be restricted? This is already a reality in certain parts of the world and the west is becoming ever more friendly to these ideas.

I feel like the blue collar economy is still dictating the reality of the white collar economy. They work service hours where you have to literally be somewhere for a shift. That is what is defining the standard for other types of work in a misguided fashion. It took a global pandemic to have companies come to their senses (by sheer force) to make remote work a first class citizen. Change is too slow because we’re tied to antiquated concepts.

Why are some professions doing a shift? Does your software open at 8am and then close up for the night at 5pm? If so, then yeah you need shift workers. If not, then please, just stop it.

Those were all for trading/analyst positions. Western companies never reply for software internship applications.

I got an intership offer from a big non-Western company, but I didn't get a work visa.

I am sceptical of all comparisons to the previous intel based laptops. The thermals in those were atrocious, even to the extent that Linus of Linus Tech Tips made a comment saying roughly "Apple has been sandbagging the performance of their intel laptops for years now, so that when they launch their ARM-based ones they can claim it runs at half the temperature".

Even the MacBook Pro, which actually has a fan, thermal throttles in under a minute.

Edit: found the video. About 2 minutes in: https://youtu.be/

I am not saying that the M1 isnt amazing. It clearly is. But you should compare it to something that at least lets the laptop run somewhere close to optimal.
> we as a society realize how futile it is to exert physical dominance on one another

A more cynical explanation may say it only disappeared was because we discovered the more /effective/ way to exert dominance on others was mentally, not physically. It wasn't due to any collective enlightenment about the sociological futility of domination -- it was merely a desire to achieve better logistics.
Tracking is mostly done space-based. Because of political issues. In our moon shots, we frequently had 'blackouts' in tracking the Apollo capsules because it was over unfriendly or uncooperative nations who wouldn't share their ground station data.

It was my wife's school friend Marjory Bacon that headed that project. (She was also the person who turned on the Hubble telescope and initiated the first self-diagnostic)

That sounds... fair? It’s like having a programmer that cannot program. If your job is literally to sell, and you’re not doing it?

I guess it doesn’t have to be black and white as long as you bring in more than you cost though.

EULA may not have much if any force in some jurisdiction, but that's typically for private individuals. Corporations can reasonably be expected to have lawyers to understand legalese, for one.

Not saying the EULA would definitely be enforceable, just that it's not that simple in this case.

The reason that the web won vs Prodigy, Compuware and AOL is that even in its early form, the internet as a whole was just better. Also, there were no wierd extra charges and your kids couldn't run up a bill for $300 in a night (like I did to my parents).
That’s a really interesting point. Do you have info on those failed projects? Would love to read more about that.
If you don't tell us where you live, it's not such a useful feedback item. In many (most) places in Asia, you can walk into any clinic and order whatever tests you want if they are reasonable and exist. For alot of tests the results could be available later that day. You do pay, but the cost is usually minimal compared to say the US.
It sounds absurd, but NVIDA has been doing it for a few years, so it certainly can be done...
That's a misconception. It depends on where you live, but most people who work inside can expect to be deficient.

For instance, in a study on skateboarders in Hawaii who spent around 4 hours in the sun each day, 50% of participants were found deficient.

What a sad day for our species.

John Michael Godier made an interesting interview with Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay regarding placing a radio telescope on the far (silent) side of Moon. Notably, our moon is also obviously devoid of the ionosphere, but what is less obvious, is that this would allow us to observe wavelengths that have so far never been studied by humans.

This is hardly a significant trial.

Unilever said all 81 staff members at its offices across New Zealand will be able to participate in the trial...

Only 81 possible candidates, and not all of them might choose to participate.

I'd be curious to see the results of a trial involving thousands of employees. Some subset of 81, though... almost meaningless.

There's a tremendous inertia when it comes to work weeks. The five-day is locked in pretty firmly in the developed world, and a company that tries to change that risks getting out of synch with suppliers, subcontractors, and partners. "Today's Thursday. Our office is closed on Fridays, so we'll have to schedule that call for Tuesday, because one of our suppliers is closed on Mondays."

I mean, they can try it, and employees might like the extra time off, but it might well slow things down and ultimately result in commensurately lower salaries and bonuses.

I don't think you understand how reality works, or how explosives work...

Small drones can't carry a large payload, an explosion is extremely hard to actually aim. Shaped charges work because they either have enough kinetic energy from inertia to keep the explosion directed to the target or they fused with the target before exploding usually by also hitting it really fast.

This is what 400g of C4 looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajmIEhK4LKc and this is under good conditions where the forces of the blast are contained because they put them in a hole in the ground.

If you detonate a few 100 grams of military grade explosive mid air you pretty much need to be within slapping distance of someone to guarantee a kill from the concussive blast.

A hellfire missile has about 10 Kg of high explosive in its warhead and you still get people walking off from a direct vehicle hit mainly because if the missile breaks through the roof and through the floor of the car before exploding it's usually sufficient to prevent the occupants from being turned into a brussels pate, and here were talking about a few millimeters of sheet metal protecting you against 10 Kg (if you wonder why - the path of least resistance works on explosions too, and rather well this is exactly why shape chargers work and why they don't need to be made out of adamantium or even anything particularly though in fact what essentially is paper mache is often used to make the lenses that focus the explosion in a shaped charge).

With the payload these drones can carry a fragmentation warhead would do absolutely squat against a vehicle it might be able to devastate a crowd where these can essentially detonate on contact but even unarmored vehicles won't be nearly as damaged as you think they would.

Life is not a video game.
A more general pillar of functional languages is referential transparency, which does not rule out mutability. It simply means that a function’s output is determined by its input alone. Have a look at Clean, uniqueness types and linear types in general, for instance.
Yup, this is extra useful when I'm using e.g. an external USB headset for calls. I can have media played through my speakers while using the headset for calls, regardless of whether or not the application supports this itself. (Admittedly VoIP applications generally do.)
Async Profiler Actuator Endpoint
How is this at all MacStadium "pretending" to follow the rules? At worst, this is GitHub violating the rules.

MacStadium is renting those macs to a single customer for longer than 24 hours. MacStadium is following the rules. MacStadium is just providing a platform.

You're not really expecting MacStadium to snoop on each customer's usage and business model to enforce Apple's rules? AWS certainly won't be doing that.

If Apple told MacStadium or AWS to stop offering Macs to a customer such as GitHub due to some EULA violation committed by GitHub, they would probably do that.

I don't understand why your comment is trying so hard to frame MacStadium as hypocrites.
We've been using async Profiler quiet intesively for a while and it's quiet annoying needing to ssh \ kubectl the machine, remembering the command and scp the flame graph. So we implemented an actuator endpoint to do all that for you with some additional nifty options (filter by thread name prefix)

> UI should be build in into the browser. Users should be free to choice UI they like

How would that work? The closest example I can think of is the web before CSS, when there was only html for semantic markup, and the browsers would display it however they wished, with content creators having very little say over what exactly their users would see on the screen.

Can't see us moving back in that direction.
Depending on the DE it might not be exposed to the user at that level of granularity despite being supported under the hood. You need a shell plugin to expose per-app volume controls in Gnome for example. (You can always install pavucontrol, of course.)

Plasma provides it right out of the box.
A sad moment. Of course it didn't come surprising after recent news, still it is painful to see it collapse. Obviously, the funding had shifted to other projects some time ago or it had not fallen in disrepair. This probably means, the scientific output was less promising than those projects. Yet, beyond its immediate use, it was one of the very visible symbols of science and it hurts to see it go. I wonder whether there should be plans made for a completely new rebuild?

This is not true at all. Anti monopoly regulations, for example, exist for the sole purpose of privileging new entrants over incumbents. The actions against Microsoft, or the breaking up of AT&T certainly did not help the incumbents.

An example closer to home is that entrepreneurial activity in Silicon Valley is often attributed to California law forbidding non competes in employment contracts. This is regulation, without which, as you see in nearly every other state, workers are severely bound by their employment contracts in the work they can do while and after being employed by a company.

If regulations seem to benefit incumbents, it’s because incumbents exist and therefore can play a role in setting regulations. The counterbalance to this should be public pressure and political action, but incumbents recognizing that do much to dissuade the public from pushing for such action, including convincing people of pithy, but 180 degrees wrong ideas such as “regulations always benefit incumbents”.
