To some extent you're totally right. I can elaborate.

Some of it are technical choices Apple has made that make things hard. I like tiling window managers. The best (only?) one for OSX now requires you to go disable SIP to use it: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Disabling-System-I... -- this wouldn't be the case if Apple cared at all to support these sorts of use-cases, but they don't, so it suffers collateral damage from their attempts to improve security. (Again, totally reasonable business choice. Not a ton of people in this boat, but turns me off. Why can't I do this by clicking something in system prefs like when I open a downloaded app?)

Another one is, as a developer who once worked at a shop that shipped three-os software, their policies relating to macOS licensing are comical. It's almost like they don't want you to develop for Mac at all unless you're going to exclusively develop for Mac. We had moved everything to the cloud, but we still had a room full of stupid mac minis just to run our build farm. Ridiculous. The new news about mac minis in AWS is an ever-so-slight improvement.

Some of it is definitely the familiarity you describe. I don't want to have to get used to all the weird bsd-ish-but-not-really versions of the common CLI tools. I have no interest in learning apple script, etc. I'm being fairly obviously hypocritical because I was willing to learn a bunch about obscure config files on linux. But, my experience has often been that things I would be willing to invest to customize on macOS are simply not customizeable.

And, hey, perhaps I would've been willing to go through all that were it (reasonably) possible to run OSX on commodity hardware, but as a kid learning programming in the 90's macs were damn expensive compared to windows alternatives. So, I grew up on windows. It's still true. Today I could afford a Mac Pro, but it's a laughable value proposition (easily 3x-5x the cost for equivalent power) compared to building my own linux box (as to the 'your time is money!' counterargument people sometimes make here - it takes me about 2 hours to build a PC and my linux box hasn't panicked or booted improperly once). This used to make sense to me when the OS/hardware was more tightly integrated, but I don't really see how a macPro is any different than the equivalent PC you could build with the same CPU/GPU combos except more expensive and less flexible (admittedly, with a stunning case -- their manufacturing quality is incredible). Maybe they'll realize those benefits again with the M1, which is certainly cool.

Lastly, I'll never forgive them for starting the trend of eliminating 3.5mm jacks on phones.

TLDR; You're probably right. Macs aren't a great choice if you're a power user (read: control freak) with your PC.

It's not that hard. You have to pay a decent wage and make sure your hiring practices aren't completely broken.

> A lot of positions companies could profitably hire at decent salaries won't ever be filled because salaries of people qualified to do those jobs start above profitability threshold.

This is true of every job. If salaries were cheaper you would be willing to hire more of them.
Then what do you think about these scenarios? Me and my partner has a company with 2 different apps right now.

Scenario 1: We open 2 different LLC companies with 50% 50% shares. These 2 companies don't have any majority and decision making authority in each other. Totally independent different companies with same owners. If we transfer 1 app to an LLC and other 1 app to the other LLC.

Scenario 2: I open an LLC as an 100% owner myself and my partner open an another LLC as an 100% owner himself. Totally independent different companies. If we transfer 1 app to an LLC and other 1 app to the other LLC.

Do you think these 2 companies can get benefit from the program in scenario 1 and scenario 2?

Good question. In my case we're spending an inordinate amount on power currently, because we're using upwards of 20kW / day. Part of that is a horribly inefficient hot water system, part of it is needing an air conditioner this time of year (here in Australia).

The new system will include a smart meter changeover, which means hot water can be off-peak, and time-constrained, and air-conditioner will be used primarily during the times that we're generating power.

Combined with some other plans - adding a shade-roof over one of the existing poorly insulated structures, replacing the HWS with a heat pump, etc - I expect that we'll be close to power-positive most sunny summer days when we're on-site, and every non-cloudy day that we're not.

Payback for my neighbour was ~ 3 years, though he was more extravagant with his air conditioner because it wasn't costing him anything to put it on. I expect a similar or slightly faster payback period.

In which case - it makes more sense for me to do this immediately. Whether it would have been the case 3 years ago, I'm not so sure.

"If some in the tech industry believe reporters are out to get them, then a dialogue — not boycott — seems like a good place to start."

All well and good if the reporters and their orgs are willing to change their minds based on evidence. However, increasingly so, it seems like reporters are more beholden to ideologies than nuanced truth. The truth can be collateral damage if the ideology is bolstered.
This is a problematic phrasing. It's a personal problem if you're dealing with something that affects only you. Once it impacts whole countries, it's a public policy issue how to minimise the impact of personal discipline around routines.

rubygems went through several iterations of API to try to deal with this, including yes, starting with a dependency-info-only API.

I wish different language/platform communities were better at learning from each other (and this does go in all directions). In the field of software these days, we don't do much learning from prior art. It's just too hard to keep up with it all.

Heck, I recall this happening with rubygems -- the introductio of the dependencies API to efficiently get the minimum data needing for resolving dependencies before downloading actual packages, and then several iterations on it -- and I can't find any actual documentary evidence of it to share right now. I don't know how anyone WOULD use it as prior art; the source code for a fairly complex project in a language you aren't familiar with isn't going to work, even if you knew to go look for it, which why would you.
Using an M1 Air, coming from a 16" Pro, here's the diff:

- Cost: $1400 vs $4000 (nearly 1/3)

- Speed: Air feels significantly faster, and more apps move to native, will be even moreso

- Battery: At least double, if not 3x

- Size: Less than 1/2 the weight

The revolutionary thing is doing all of those at once. Nearly tripling battery life while making a huge leap in performance, at 1/3 the cost and half the weight is simply incredible.
I would also love to learn more! I've thought about doing this for a while now too and I'm curious how it turned out for you.

>I would like the people downvoting you to explain why they think it's truly revolutionary.

For one, it's the first PC chip with these kind of thermals and power combo.

Second, it brings many new design decisions, from unified memory, to the SoC design, various coprocessors, etc, that have not been available in the form of laptop/desktop PCs. The last of this kind in the mass market would be something like the Amiga, which is still a very different design.

Third, it's hella fast and many different things, both given its power draw, but also irrespective of it.

Fourth, it makes ARM for PC computing mainstream suddenly, after decades where it was relegated to the mobile and hobbyist/specialist (rapsberry, etc) space.

If that's not a revolutionary change, I don't know what you expected. A CPU made from flour with alien technology that's 1000 times faster and uses quantum bits?

Yeah, they didn't make that.

Anandtech is comparing M1 vs A14. It's high performance for a cellphone part.

Dual channel DDR3L or DDR4L also has a 128 bit bus. 4200MHz DDR4 is clocked on the high side for most laptops, sure, but it's hardly unusual.

Run the numbers and you get the exact same throughput figure as for M1, which isn't surprising, because we're just taking width * rate = throughput.

So I'll repeat my assertion, downvotes be damned: the memory on the M1 is not special. The packaging and interconnect is interesting. It might reduce latency a little; it probably reduces power consumption a lot. But there's nothing special about it. The computer you're on right now probably has the same memory subsystem with different packaging.
I feel like movie&dinner is low effort and more for married and longer term couples looking for an excuse to get out of the house or that have a large interest in the actual movie being shown rather than in the first 3 or so dates.

Good conversation going on just keep talking. Conversation slows throw a few while you think of a new topic or one comes up organically. Bonus points as no one expect you to be any good.

> How can you not find the fact that China owns the company directly involved in USA voting problematic?

Well, for one thing, that's not a fact.

The PRC (assuming, arguendo, the claims about control of the Chinese firms involved are correct) owns a controlling interest in UBS Securities CO, LTD, a Chinese investment bank. UBS Securities, a Swiss bank, owns a minority interest in that Chinese bank.

UBS Securities was paid some amount of money by State Street Capital in connection with a $400 million offering of securities by State Street Capital.

State Street Capital co-owns, with Dominion's management team, Dominion voting systems.

There is no rational way this set of facts supports the conclusion "China owns the company directly involved in USA voting".

"China owns the majority of a Chinese bank in which a minority stake is owned a Swiss bank who received money in relation to a securities offering by a US private equity firm which co-owns the company directly involved in USA voting" is not really a cause for any particular concern that I can see.
To add to this, if you need your data to be consistent at all times, it probably makes sense to let the database take care of that instead of managing it at a higher level (and hoping you don't make mistakes). This is where keeping your data-related logic in-DB is really advantageous.
Probably, it seems they knew it was imminent.

...which is based on your credit report, which in turn is mostly a record of what lines of credit you have taken out (credit cards, car/student loans, mortgages) and whether you have repaid them. meanwhile in china, they track that and also various subversive behavior like "spreading false rumors" and "walking a dog without a leash"[1].

Nope. At some point geopolitics came into the picture and the US decided it was going to protect its own bigcorps at any cost. The hidden threat was (and is) that China would never do such a thing as punish its own big corporations for anticompetitive, unethical and illegal practices.

Electron is the new Flash. Bloat and lag. Using it is understandable as a tactical choice when it's expensive to maintain separate native apps everywhere but man, Slack is a 25 billion dollar company - surely they can write some native apps?

if this is in the USA, it is most likely an "unclaimed property" law of their state. it isn't so much a name and shame, the company likely followed the state's policy and sent a notice to determine if the property should move to the state. but you can always file a claim for that and have the property returned. most states have a free website to search if you have any unclaimed property that the state is holding on your behalf, and then you get to fill out paperwork. i just searched for myself and I have about $80 from State Farm from 2001 and about $30 from Google from 2014. i know the state farm was a premium refund after i moved out of state and i guess they were not able to find me (although i was still with state farm in the other state, but i'm guessing in 2001 that wasn't easy for them to cross reference and possibly state farm is legally a different company in each state). no idea what the source of the Google money was, and also baffling why they couldn't find me as i've been an active customer since way before then, but also likely a scenario where one division doesn't talk to another and they still have to comply with the law.
I've seen gekokujo in many places as a manager. There's often a desire among employees to require the world to adjust to how they think it should work instead of following process. This isn't always bad, of course, because process isn't always perfect. However, their success or failure tend to correlate to their perceived value. Simply put, you have to be a diva in order to act like a diva. I think the last puppeteer for Kermit is a great example[1].

No idea if that's happened here, but as a manager I know what I'd do if an employee -- any employee -- told me to to meet their demands or they would quit.
