They have been saying that for years now. The electric Hummer will have its niche buyers. But in terms of specs, it is very lacking compared to Tesla's offerings.

Tesla has figured out how to manufacture EVs at scale with a ~20%+ gross margin. This will only go up as their numbers go up and they start producing their own 4680 cells. No other auto-maker has even tried to come up with their own cell chemistry. They still rely on suppliers like LG-Chem. Most automakers make single digit margins on ICE cars and lose money on EVs.

At this point, OEMs like GM and Ford are too far behind IMO. VW is probably the closest to Tesla right now. Their CEO recently said they are probably years behind.

Do you want Google and your ISPs to see everything? Cloudflare and maybe Apple (not sure what infrastructure they’d have in this if any)? Another company like Cloudflare?

I don’t know the answer but I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts. Personally I’d like to prevent Google and my ISPs but Cloudflare could easily become Google in many ways.

I see you’ve never used AirPods between multiple devises. It’s become a lot better in the last year, but that’s only because it started out infuriating.

QC3s were much better than AirPods at multi device up until a recent update.

This is a strange comment. It starts like you're trying to argue something, but the argument isn't really present.

You're saying "You think the audiophile market is bad? Why complain about that market when there are these other markets that do the same bad stuff?"

What's the point? Does one bad industry ruin them all? Should we not have any?
Do you know the model numbers and/or have any other information about these new routers?

I'm currently using eap_proxy with my BGW210, and it's been a huge improvement, but I fear the day the device needs to be replaced with a newer model.

That button can be configured for that or for voice assistant activation, lots of people probably use it for the latter.
I discovered Philip Glass' music through the movie Koyaanisqatsi, which I heartily recommend. If you haven't seen it, go into it without expectations of what a movie is supposed to be like; it's weird.
It seems it might be better to create a current source using a BJT or darlington pair and a larger resistor attached to the base. That would take pressure off the little GPIO pin and give you a consistent 20ma current, regardless of the resistance of the current loop.
>It's usually people who feel sour about spending their savings on Apple product and want to justify it so hard

That's a really weird assertion.

Nerds as a tribe are typically not willing to let factually incorrect statements pass without refutation, but if we do that re: Apple, it's because we're insecure about my tech choices? I mean, seriously?
If you have something that generates the signal, and something that receives it, the antenna is just a wire between those two (of course, you better power them off the same source).
Sure, it's legally fine. There are a thousand billion things I can do that are perfectly legal and still shitty.
Type Definitions as API Specification
CentOS is to be essentially the beta release for the next minor release of RHEL whereas Fedora ELN is targeting the next major release.

Makes sense commercially from RH's point of view. Boring and stable is now chargeable.
I like this. Headphones as wine, basically.
As an early-stage CTO, I really appreciated this insight-from-the-future about how my role might change over time if we're ultimately successful.

One interesting difference with our company is that I hit the bottleneck of "I need to be doing more spec work and less engineering work" more quickly - possibly because we were relying on contractors who couldn't (or wouldn't) take on as much of that spec work themselves. I started to really feel this pain point at 3-4 other full-time engineers, where I was sort of trying to stay ahead of them and make sure that upcoming features were fully specc'ed and met the business needs as opposed to chipping in and coding myself.

I'm definitely tinted by my own experience, but it seems like 8-10 other engineers is a really late point to hit this bottleneck - did you have a PM that was also working to help plan the features to reduce this burden on you?
I just can't see where there is a greed angle to the monolith events.
Most companies stick to the regular tax depreciation schedules, for computers 3 years is standard in most countries. You can deviate from this though if you can justify it.

And personally I wouldn't favor a new laptop over a pay raise, as the laptop will lose its value over time and is not yours to keep, while you can put a pay rise into your personal savings (and if you really want you can still buy a laptop from it).
My AirPods died recently. At $159 and 2 years of aggressive usage (probably 3-4 hours every average day), I think they paid nicely for their price. That should average for around $0.06/hour. If these have the same lifespan, they should average to $0.2/hour. A bit steep for me to "just buy it" or not consider other brands. But I'll wait for the reviews, it might be a good deal.

Interestingly, I can't find any information on how much the batteries could last. This is basically the lifetime of your AirPods Max since (I guess) you won't be able to change the batteries.

+: also, these doesn't replace the AirPods but complement them. So it's more like $250+550 now.
> If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options.

...sounds like what they expect

> it removes confusion around what “CentOS” means in the Linux distribution ecosystem

This justification for the change seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't yet exist but probably will soon!
It mentions those with "dark traits" tend to be seen as poor team players, but perhaps that's exactly why these types ascend to top leadership positions. Your "team play" ability only matters to the extent that you engage in peer-to-peer relationships, which can be relatively minimal in that position compared to, say, middle management. See, for instance, Steve Jobs. I've never heard him described as a "team player", exactly.

In the end, I'd say both types are important. Obviously we need team players, but sometimes you need an auteur or benevolent dictator. Measuring success for these different types should account for their respective strengths.
lol if that were a crime, I'd have at least a dozen people a day locked up.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I read this, CentOS Stream will still serve as a stable clone of RHEL just as it always has. The rolling distro will be tagged at a certain point in time for a RHEL release, and you can still choose to use that state as your production base, and be locked at that tag. Presumably there will be a CentOS Stream 9 tag that you can use for production. The difference will be that CentOS will lead rather than follow the RHEL release.

I think the doom and gloom is a misunderstanding.
> all the so-called audiophiles on here sneering at Apple's attempts at audio are the same people

Surely not ALL of them.
Where the hell are they, and why aren't they paying for quality home goods, cars, technology, etc?
> In fact, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Just like my answer to the other comment, there are a ton of "perfectly reasonable" things that one can do, that are still shitty behaviour.

That's like when someone leaves free books for anyone to take, you'd take one but never put another one for other people. You're not breaking any laws or rules. Still shitty. Especially if you have enough money to build a whole freaking library.
Maybe Scientific Linux can get revived.
To be fair that quote is probably mostly about carpet bombing with relatively small bombs. In modern warfare not only are weapons a lot more precise but they also pack a lot more high yield explosives. Also most old fortifications were made to stand hits coming from the ground towards the outer walls, not from above.

The reason almost any above ground strongholds still hold up today is that they're packed with civilians, not because their walls are that strong.
That smell is typical with a gas range. You are supposed to run it with the vent hood on to prevent that.

Well, no. It is a drug and drugs do different things to different systems at different levels. You can't just assert that a drug must be doing B because it is doing A at the exact same dosage.

Ding Ding Ding, we have the correct answer. These headphones are way over-engineered even by Apple standards. There is no reason for headphones to have a gyroscope/accelerator combination except to enable VR or AR audio in conjunction with their existing ARKit.

From my reading of the quoted paragraph, it appears these headphones will play system sounds (alerts, siri, etc) in such a way that they appear to emanate from the paired device - a very neat trick. If the headphones can do that then it is a short jump to making sounds appear to come from ARKit objects moving in real space.
When I was a kid, my dad connected a Model 19 teletype to our Apple II computer for amateur radio teletype (RTTY). He used an opto-isolator to protect the Apple II from the 60 ma loop that the Model 19 used.
Consider:

((foo() || bar())

plop) &&

versus:

(and (or (foo)

(baz)
(or xyzzy

blah)

You're barking up completely the wrong tree here in your search for Lisp problems.

For Lisp, you have a simple algorithm with a few cases in it for indenting, which works equally well if you've broken every token out into a separate line, or just have a few line breaks.

There are no concerns like does this punctuator or operator "cuddle" into the previous line, or start the next line? Fewer aspects are a matter of taste, leading to better consistency from one project to the next.

Let's compare the coding style of the TXR Lisp standard library to randomly selected code written not only in completely different projects by different people, but in different dialects and languages:

TXR Lisp stdlib: http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/share/txr/stdlib/tagbod...

Clojure core: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/cloju...

GUIX internals (Scheme): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/git.scm

SBCL compiler code (Common Lisp): https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/blob/master/src/compiler/dce.li...

By golly, it all looks the same, formatting-wise, wherever I look!

I could throw any of that code into a stock installation of Vim with no plugins, and easily maintain its style with the built-in Lisp support. That Vim could be an old version from like 1999.

I was very interested in upgrading my Sony WH-1000XM3s for a moment until I saw the price.

I love my both my AirPods and XM3, they're completely different headphones with completely different uses cases. They're both fantastic at what they do. There is no way these are $300 better than my XM3s however.

I think people who want a non-commercial RHEL will stay well away from any project with "Oracle" in the name.
Yeah, this is a large part of the reason I don't see myself using it much either -- if I'm at home watching video it's almost always on a TV screen. Also, I don't understand why it's still only supported by a couple streaming video services (none of which I personally use) -- Netflix already has Dolby surround audio in many of their videos, so shouldn't it be pretty easy to enable spatial audio in their iOS app? Well, clearly not, but I don't understand why.

This was the “old” subscription model for desktop software. It’s the model most software with yearly updates was sold under (MS Office, Jira, etc, etc) and was basically a yearly subscription (to get access to new versions) except that it guaranteed the developer would be creating yearly releases to make it worth adopting newer versions, while the “current” subscription model doesn’t particularly encourage a company to continue innovating and developing to ensure their products don’t stagnate. The only problem with the old “yearly release w/ lifetime per-version” licensing is that it didn’t encourage refactoring, under-the-hood improvements, etc and encouraged needless churn with UI, etc as “progress for the sake of progress” to make it more appealing to upgrade on a yearly basis.
If there is no development, then the distributed software isn't using any of those new features and fixes.
I have a pair of Jabra 65T active earbuds that I bought for $50 and they connect to multiple devices at a time and "just work". If they are connected to my computer and I am watching a video and my phone rings, they switch over without any intervention. At the end of the day when I hop on my Peloton they connect to that without intervention, too.

I am sure the Apple stuff works well too but let's not pretend that they are doing anything unique in this space.
Well sure, most of Feldman's work could be described as "minimal" but saying it is part of the body of work that is typically referred to as "minimalism" is a little disingenuous, in my mind.

But maybe it just makes it more obvious that these categories aren't particularly useful. I think it's interesting to talk about those early works in the 70s and compare them to minimalist art, like Judd's or Serra's sculptures or paintings by Sol Lewitt, Stella, etc., but it's just a component of a much broader conversation that needs to be based in listening first.

It's interesting to me that Glass' early music didn't really click for me until I had stood inside of one of Richard Serra's Bands sculptures at LACMA. It gave me a different mental (and metal, haha) framework to engage with the music through. That's probably why the Berio/Feldman comparison was so surprising to me in the first place, because I feel like the music from those composers both demand different kinds of engagement to find them enjoyable that Glass' early music, both as a listener and a performer.

The test itself is very well done - they try to get people to respond precisely, but checking attention, and asking multiple times questions about the same concept.

However, the article has a very fundamental flaw:

> Unfortunately, most people with extreme levels of dark personality traits don’t want to change who they are. Despite not being particularly happy with their lives

The test doesn't deal with "happiness" at all, which is a key component of the argument.

If consider as example a person like Steve Jobs, who would fair very high on narcisissm and machiavellism, what would be his happiness?

While he could have been as much successful being a nice person (there are examples in history, my favorite being Carmack), what does represent happiness for him, from the perspective of other people, and from his own?

Probably, from his own perspective, he's a "happy" person - he craves attention and success, and he satisfies both.

I think defining happiness in a more general sense requires a certain "wider" personality, which this type of people doesn't have - ultimately, they're very narrow.

Generalizing this example, the argument "Despite not being particularly happy with their lives" doesn't really hold - this type of ferociously and single-mindedly driven people are ultimately succeeding in their own, narrow, purpose.
You must be more than average rich if buying apple products does not give you a "money spending experience".

Product experience is, debatable, having used at least one product, I can "imagine" how they can improve it.

While at the same time, having duped by the audiophile industry as well, the product was also great (i got those shure headphones).

What I am saying is sure there is no denying of experience wise of both spending/product, there is definitely a gap in the cost and worth of the product.
I'd be somewhat surprised. In Ireland this year the _flu_ vaccine wasn't generally available privately, as the HSE took all available supply. Health authorities should be expected to be even more aggressive with covid vaccines.

Yup I just see this as an alignment of interests. In this case, Apple's interest happens to align with that of their consumers.

And I for one am happy that they have taken up this cause and put their weight behind it, whatever their intentions may be, the effect is that it makes the web more private for those of us who deem it important to move away from the "monetizing data" cancer that has spread all over the internet.

Yeah, but Beats Studio already do most of what AirPods Max do. I own not one, but two pair of the Beats (like ‘em enough to get the wife a pair), so I’m their “sucker” target market. Sure, maybe one can get better sound for the same money, but as you point out, other headphones don’t connect to my Apple stuff as neatly (or at all; yea, Bluetooth), yada, yada. So I’ll will sacrifice a bit of sound quality (or so the sound nutters say) for convenience.

But $550? Even this high-income Apple fanboi has his limits. At that price, the reviews better say the sound is outstanding. Because for one, Apple is competing against the Beats I already own.
