Unfortunately at 3840 x 2160, it's not ideal since in pixel doubled mode (retina), you're only getting the equivalent of a 1080p display.

The 22" LG Ultrafine used to have a 4069 x 2304 resolution. So in pixel doubling mode you actually got more screen real estate than newer 24" 4k models (which are only 3840 × 2160)!

The problem is better described here:

Seriously what kind of world do you live in where this kind of advice is not necessary?
I don't entirely understand what's happening here. The title and the post talk a lot about "Bare-Metal", but it also seems to indicate that everything is hosted on servers running Ubuntu. Which, if accurate, seems to be Kubernetes running on Linux, not bare-metal?

With random chinese knock-off and GoPro 3, I had a latency of 10-11 frames when doing 60 fps stream.

It was usable for video calls, but I had problems with reliability (old battery in Gopro, and even if it was permanently connected to power source, it charged only when I turned it on -- which usually was when I wanted to have a call).
Why does listing Israel in the name mean antisemitism? The company claimed "sovereign immunity", you don't think country of origin is important?

With the amount of human rights abuses, criminal activity, worker harm, and sexual harassment that's been disclosed about Google execs over the last several years, isn't it evil to make those people richer?

There isn't a single good guy at the top of Google. How can working there in 2020 not be a red flag to future employers that you stayed when you should've known better?

Don't get me wrong, there are workers trapped by visa policies or people who honestly lack the job mobility, but if you do legitimately have a choice where you work, doesn't it start to say something about you after a while?

I do honestly hesitate to vilify a large class of people solely based on employment, but I don't think it's an entirely unwarranted question: Can you be a good person if you choose to further the agenda of evil?

You said you "write drivers for phones". That sounds innocent enough, and I'm sure it's interesting work. But if that's Android, we should consider that Android will likely be found to have been built upon a stolen platform. It was created by a man who regularly sexually harassed employees, and whom Google paid a $90 million bonus after they knew that. The guys who still have a controlling interest in Google have all also sexually harassed employees, and continue to profit from Android today.

Android has no meaningful competition[1]. Android generally is provided with terms that extend and reinforce Google's monopoly, via a contract called the MADA. Every phone manufacturer has to agree to it, and it requires including and showcasing other Google apps. It's operated kinda like a cartel, and Google has threatened to banish manufacturers for things like, working with other search engines, web browsers, or location providers. Hilariously, Google has tried to present this cartel as some sort of open "alliance"... just an alliance where they are in charge and anyone who doesn't comply with their decisions is out of business.

Android was built and serves to protect Google's interest on mobile platforms. If location services is enabled, Google collects the location of nearly everyone on earth every five minutes. They've been caught regularly lying or obscuring how to disable this. Google has interfered with multiple attempts to protect user privacy on their platform, and while other web browsers have moved to block tracking by ad networks, Google engaged in marketing campaigns on how blocking tracking allegedly harmed user privacy.

Isn't working on this a political act? Can we separate pure engineering from the goals it furthers?

[1] iOS is not available to be licensed by manufacturers for use in phones. Android's only actual competitors are like Tizen, Sailfish, and maybe a couple flavors of Linux that work on phones.
A good webcam, in my opinion, is a device that provides a decent sound quality (from the article).

Ehm, sure about that metric? Should a webcam not primarily offer good video? And why not having good audio by means of an external microphone in addition to a decent camera?

If that's the primary metric, the rest of the article is flawed.

IMHO the best setup has a dedicated camera and at least one dedicated microphone (Most people streaming use microphones or headsets, don't they? Same for radio-show/podcast hosts.).

Doesn't mean that a webcam can't have a decent microphone, but if you are going the custom route...
What does "I am guilty of violating the Espionage Act" have to do with Trump?

>To really make the claim that going after journalists with the espionage act is purely a Trump position

It's hard to see the connection between the article and the above quote. No one made any claim about Trump, and even if they had, the piece is almost entirely about the Obama admin, so it certainly isn't "purely" about Trump.

Putting "Jewish hacking company" in the title would be antisemitic, critisizing Israel is not.
Well said, although labeling it as 'hazardous' can be tricky since we don't really understand some of the long-term effects yet.
I think the idea behind the lawsuit is prevent giving such companies legitimacy and limit the exit options of the founders and shareholders of such companies. Peddlers of zero days will always exist and hackers will be able to sell but without the veil of “legitimacy”.
> I do object to simple fear-mongering over yet another new thing to be afraid of in our world

Well, we're fucking up big times and have plenty of reasons to be worried, if your house is on fire calling the firefighters isn't fear mongering.

> most other things appear to be orders of magnitude more dangerous to us than micro-plastics, e.g. drinking alcohol, traffic fumes/air pollution

You can chose not to drink alcohol or not to smoke. You can't chose not to ingest micro plastic. And you're right, air pollution is a similar issue, should we ignore rising issues because we're already dealing with existing ones ?

By the way, nobody is telling you to be scared. Micro plastics in placenta is, apparently, a fact, micro plastics being dangerous to us is a fact, chose how you feel about it but don't shoot the messenger.

Hilarious that they think being an arms dealer should afford them 'sovereign immunity'.

I'd like to think the world would be a better place without them. But this is like the MPAA response to Unauthorized Looking - shutting down Napster just made it harder to observe, and this will just push the weapons dealers further underground.

I'm not sure this review gives us anything new. To sum up:

* The comparably priced Dell XPS 17 actually wins in most benchmarks (but the M1 is using Rosetta 2 translation for each of these!)

* The battery life is really amazing.

* The lack of cooling necessary is amazing.

* Software compatibility with ARM through Rosetta 2 is mind-blowing. No one expected it to work this well.

* Don't buy Intel-based Macs any more!

* If you want a high-powered 13" Macbook, this is it.

* If you want larger than 13" or more than 2 Thunderbolt (USB4) ports, hold onto your butts!
I guess "bare-metal" is Newspeak for "running directly on hardware without a hypervisor".
Would you buy a webcam with 1080p only (I promise it's good though!) for $250-$300?
> Or do your existing opinions mean you view all discussions on this topic as bad-faith, exactly as the parent comment describes?

Not likely. That in and of itself is a bad-faith claim frequently used by bigots to try and evade getting thrown out of a venue, by turning around the accusation onto those calling out bad behaviour. Unfortunately a lot of peope have taken this claim at face value, and have started repeating it.

The thing is, I have discussed these sorts of topics with people in good faith. The common factor is that those discussions were never in public venues, because someone who wants to discuss these topics in good faith realizes that they are sensitive and easily-abused.

On the other hand, every time I've seen someone "discuss" these topics in public, there were clearly identifiable signs of bad faith, independent from the topic itself. It usually doesn't take much prodding to make the mask come off, so to say.

Edit: For additional background, I'm mostly speaking with my "community moderator" hat on, here. I somewhat regularly get brought in to clean up mismoderated communities that have gotten completely out of hand, so over time I've learned how to identify bad-faith actors quickly, separately from opinions.

> There will be people who make life-changing mistakes because they didn't have access to a viewpoint that catalyzed an insight that was important for them.

This goes both ways though. Some people will choose to transition their gender because internet people might over-encourage them, but far more people who should transition won't because trans erasure, censorship, and discrimination was the norm until this decade. And technically, mostly still is the norm. You have far more "don't you dare imply being trans is ok" IRL than you have "don't you dare imply being trans is not ok" online.

And this comment leaves out critical facts. Medical professionals don't just hand out pills and surgeries to anyone who just walks in. Individuals are given serious consultations where they can help get a diagnosis and then the ability to make an informed decision in regards to their options.

People who regret transition are actually a tiny minority. Why is it a tiny minority? Because medical professionals put a lot of effort into vetting patients.

People getting "censored" are actually just repeating "somebody once regretted it, therefor no one should ever get it" over and over again, usually in less honest wording, often just transphobia or bullying just for the sake of it.

In normal parlance, this is just called "moderation".
Problems are typically older than solutions, yes.

And it's simple to concede that monoliths need to be split sometimes. It's much harder in practice to do so. Most monoliths do not have standards, let alone enforcement mechanisms, to ensure that the design of the monoliths leave open splitting later. The things that can make that process difficult (or impossible) are many and subtle, such as global state, in process locks, interpreter protected consistency guarantees, disregard for ABI implications, etc. Having different processes (in production!) does guarantee that a snarl of those problems will not prevent splitting things up later.
That's not what bare-metal means.
Look at Doom, Quake, etc for the benefits: fixing bugs, keeping the game playable in new drivers/systems/OSes, making better mods, etc.

The game content doesn't need to be libre, but the game engine benefits from it.
Bare-metal refers to running on hardware directly (vs. running on VMs or the cloud). I'm interested to know what you thought it was.

It's not that I don't care. However, I object to the huge amount of media/news stories driven by fear which leads to a generalized anxiety and depression about basically everything.

If you read the modern news and take it at all seriously, you will live in a constant fear of doing just about anything. Drinking water? You're drinking scary microplastics. Walking outside? Don't do that, the air pollution is going to give you cancer or other nasty lung diseases. Stay in and have a meal? Don't eat bread/carbs/sugar/red meat/tuna/legumes/anything processed, that will give you heart disease or cancer too, inflammation. etc etc etc.

Basically everything you can put into your body or do with your time has been associated with death or otherwise making you sick and what can the average person do about it? Basically fucking nothing.

The average person can do nothing about microplastics except be afraid of them. Also the average person cannot afford to have a healthy diet or avoid plastic and in addition, their diets are usually so bad that even if microplastics have any deleterious health effect, it's liable to be several orders of magnitude less bad than the effects of junk food or alcohol.

All the above goes to say why I think microplastics are something for scientists to worry about now because I believe the psychological impacts of all this fear are far worse than the thing itself.

Anxiety and depression, undoubtedly made worse by all the fear driven media kill more people every year or otherwise reduce quality of life far more than I believe microplastics do.
I recently switched to Fastmail from a paid Google Workspace (née GSuite) account. Switching was super easy because of the way they keep the accounts in sync.

One thing that hasn’t been a problem but which causes me a little anxiety is that with GSuite I felt I had basically infinite storage; I sorta wish Fastmail had a tier that was a “you don’t ever have to worry about storage space” type thing. Maybe I’m worrying for nothing and I’ll never even get close to their limits.
I just measured, the light is about 45cm from my face. Additionally, the lamp reflects most of the light in my direction.

I am not a model and am not used to have such bright light source so close to my face. I had to attenuate it because then it is just too uncomfortable but also to match light level on my face with that of the background.
Even this oversimplification is wrong. Back then we had a bit over a third of the current world population and a much worse standard of living across the globe.

Progress is about making good tradeoffs, not about picking perfect solutions. Otherwise your logic could get rid of any innovation by ignoring its benefits and saying "it has some problems so let's get rid of it altogether, we somehow survived without it in the past".
Kubernetes relies on containers, which are made out of cgroups and namespaces. Those are Linux features, so there's no way around that.

This is as bare-metal as it gets since it's not running on a VM.
These comments always reek of hipocrasy. Try having a debate on the existence of God, the legitimacy of the church or even the right of gay people to exist somewhere in rural US, you often get threatened with violence (and I mean the actual physical kind) very quickly. But somehow it's the poor antisemists, or homophobes who complain about being "censored" in these discussions.

Two examples of the hipocrasy:

Yes, the human species has survived with far fewer luxuries than we now enjoy. The species also survived before computers and the internet, and before air travel and before automobiles.

These things (including plastic) all have widespread costs and widespread benefits. Let's try to find ways to reduce the costs without entirely ignoring and losing the benefits?
I agree fully but the linked-to "driving guide" is a bit more problematic than that.

I stopped at the sentence for example: "According to international traffic rules, you have to check your mirrors and do a shoulder check when you change lanes, make a turn or in other circumstances, but because Thai people are inherently lazy, most of them fail to do that consistently."

I don't find accusing a group of people of being "inherently lazy" at all helpful. Firstly I don't believe it to be true - even if it could be measured - but worse it suggests that the failure is innate and incurable.

> you being encouraged to use your real name? Again, the question of whether anonymity emboldens trolls is not the force of that article, it isn't about their behavior, it is about yours.

> "But merely 'branding anonymity as bad' isn't going to stop the cyberbullying misogynists." You are correct, which is why the spokesperson for this crisis is Amanda Hess. No one is trying to stop cyberbullies, there's no point, they don't shop and no one wants to look at them. Hess has entirely misunderstood what the medium wants. The whole game is to get women-- not the cyberbullies, not criminals, but the consumers-- to voluntarily give up all of their privacy, while paying lip service to privacy at home-- knowing full well women that women will pay money not to have the kind of privacy they have at home. Voluntarily exposing yourself makes you a targetable consumer and targetable consumable. Is it worth it?

It's also often very deeply nested and follows different paths based on variables that were set higher up in the code, also depending on deeply nested criteria being met. Bugs, weird states, bad error handling and resource leaks hide easily in such code.

In my experience refactoring out anything nested >3 levels immediately makes the code more readable and easier to follow - I'm talking about c++ code that I recently worked on.

Decomposing to functions and passing as const or not the required variables to functions that then do some useful work makes it clear what's mutated by the sub functions. Make the error handling policy clear and consistent.

Enforce early return and RAII vigorously to ensure that no resources (malloc,file handles,db connections, mutexes, ...) are leaked on error or an exception being thrown.

And suddenly you have a code base that's performant, reliable and comprehensible where people feel confident making changes.

Well, the parent was talking about their even older DSLR and their equally modern phone, so I'm not sure what your point is. Nobody is claiming that a 2020 phone is anywhere close to a 2020 (or 2015, for that matter) DSLR or mirrorless camera.

I love how, in a screed about "censorship killing good faith arguments", you make 2 incendiary claims with no sources to back them up. You're doing the thing, you're the bad faith actor.

Here, have an actual source regarding women competing in women's sports. Minus transphobic dog whistling. [0][1][2]

Repetition legitimizes and it's way less effort to "have discussions" then actually do the work in debunking them. What is this mainstream you're so worried about defying? Is it the currently accepted academic consensus? Then publish your counter claims, why are all your ideas being wasted on internet debates. If it's just laypeople, then where are your sources to back up your ideas that people can engage with in good faith?

Google got caught operating a service extremely similar to Onavo. It's called Screenwise Meter.

Identically to how Facebook was exploited enterprise certificates to circumvent the App Store policy, Google was doing the exact same: https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/googles-also-peddling-a-da...

While they backed off on iOS when they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Google kept it running on Android until this month, well over a year after Facebook shut down Onavo: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/11/03/googles-screenwise-...

It's incredible to me that Facebook still has a worse image than Google: Google can do the exact same thing, for longer, and still people treat Facebook like they're a degree worse for some reason. Both ad companies are bad.
biggest problem with core data (imo) was they never ported the data controllers (nsobjectcontroller, nsarraycontroller, nstreecontroller etc) which makes dealing with core data much easier (to say nothing about the lack of bindings as used in appkit)
