Yeah it's actually pretty cool. I got an M1 air, even though I normally don't jump on 1st gen products, partly out of COVID boredom I suppose. I thought I would use it along side my 2017 15" MBP at least until things caught up on the software side, but I have barely touched the pro since I got it. The screen is smaller, and the speakers are not quite as good, but it's so snappy, light and quiet that it more than makes up for it.

There are still some rough edges: for serious development a lot of things are not quite there yet: e.g. last time I checked, there's no native release for NodeJS, and home-brew is still hit-or-miss. A lot of things work with Rosetta, but it surely takes more tweaking and trial and error to get things running than normal. But I've been programming mostly in Rust lately, and that works flawlessly on nightly, so I haven't really thought about compatibility since I was kicking the tires the second day I had it. YMMV depending on which tools you use.

All in all, I think this is the most I have really had fun using a laptop since I got my first MBA in 2012 or so. It was so light to travel with, and powerful enough for everything I needed, so it pretty quickly replaced my other laptop for pretty much everything.
Can confirm. Used to work for FCA in uconnect V2X. There is was no need to process diagnostic features in cloud as the TBM unit has enough capability to process it in the car and display. But the business decided to move processing to cloud and charge premium for monthly subscriptions.
The UX changes definitely made it easy to cut reddit out of my life, not that I was using it for much anymore.

What I would love to understand is who is calling the shots here and what metrics are they using to justify these measures. Are people who previously lurked actually complying and installing the native app? Are reddit's internal metrics properly tracking this loss of engagement, or have they gamed the metrics to make it seem like there is 0 downside to these walls?
Dissenter is a version of Brave with all the BAT stuff taken out.

(Yes, Dissenter is associated with bad people. No, I am not one of those bad people, I just use the browser. Yes, it is sad that this disclaimer needs to be written. Please don't downvote me.)
It's really not complicated.

Stupid cunts don't understand what "herd immunity" means, and they think we can just let covid-19 rip through our communities killing off between 0.5% and 1% of everyone who gets it, because they mistakenly think this means we'll then be immune to it. They're wrong, we won't, and we'll end up with endemic covid which would kill tens or hundreds of thousands of people each year. What these people are missing is the fact that 40% of the people needing ICU are under 60; and most people in ICU didn't need any help with day to day living before they went into hospital. Lots of these people will need help for several months after they leave. A few will need support for years. That means they're going to be poorer, and that plunges their family into poverty too. Poverty has huge health implications.

Games: Portal, FSX. Incredible, even now, and still what I play the most (not that I'm much of a gamer)

Science: Mars Opportunity Rover, Starship

Music: Nathaniel Rateliff && and the Night Sweats. Incredible.

Electronics/Radio: Arduino, QRP Labs QCX radio kits.

Internet: YouTube. When I first heard about it in the mid-2000's I thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard of. But lately, I've been having more fun with it than ever. Love it or hate it, it's incredible in so many ways. Except the ads. Those suck.

These are not fantasy UIs, they are science fiction UIs. There is a massive lack of good swords and wizards fantasy movies and shows. The networks, just to fill out a list, are clumping fantasy in with science fiction and super hero movies. If we are going to say anything involving an unrealistic personal fantasy is fantasy, then why stop there? That’s almost all movies and film. For that matter super hero stuff ends up in science fiction too - Heinlein is not going to be rolling in his grave but it’s still not the same thing either
Pebble unfortunately also offered a functional, reasonably priced low power device and failed. Fitbit (arguably) has a much larger market but still is part of the problem there's just not that much of a market for small, low power minimal feature devices?

It'll be interesting to see how Wyze's Band and Watch sell.
This is a motte and bailey fallacy and doesnt even merit a response. Why dont you start with a good faith argument for how the US is anti immigrant, since the numbers clearly dont agree with that statement.

Chromatic adaptation is definitely one of the trickier questions in color management. Here's my take on it.

For the most part, when looking at a monitor, chromatic adaptation is pretty good. In other words, RGB #FFFFFF looks white, not light blue, and #808080 looks gray, not bluish-gray. It does start falling apart when you mix different lighting, for example holding a white piece of paper to the screen under normal room light.

I think the main reason D65 is chosen for the sRGB white point is that it is fairly accurate, in other words it's pretty close to the actual white point of the monitor I'm looking at now (Dell P2415Q).

I have yet to find a source on chromatic adaptation that I consider a really excellent tutorial. Certainly the Wikipedia page is cursory and abstract, which is a shame.
Long-time pianist here, here's a resource I also like:

https://fundamentals-of-piano-practice.readthedocs.io/

I like this resource because it is anti-workaholic and principled. It also really focuses on developing good habits, which is a huge part of piano. A strategic approach to practice can make it MUCH more efficient.
As far as video game examples go... The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The trailers made them out to be the pinnacle of their respective franchises, and people's expectations for the two games was sky high. This plus all the changes made to the 3D Zelda and Mario formats meant there was a lot riding on these titles.

But both delivered on that hype. They've both done extremely well in terms of reviews (97% review score average on Metacritic) and sales (best selling games in their respective series), and delivered absolutely magical experiences that made the Nintendo Switch extraordinarily successful in its first year on the market.
Shakespeare, but I didn't understand the enduring brilliance until I started reading it side-by-side with a modern translation: https://www.sparknotes.com/nofear/shakespeare/msnd/page_38/
I think it's the opposite problem, they're trying to expand to fill every niche and in so doing have lost focus on what made them appealing.

Just look at their model range nowadays, it's vast, confusing and insipid. Very little of it is inspiring unless you think 650bhp in an SUV is interesting.
That's an oldie but goodie.

I was on that bandwagon pretty early around 2000, although back then it was mainly to be able to test sites on older versions of IE than whatever was out back then.

Crazy to think my smartwatch is probably more powerful than the laptop I used to run VMWare back then (I'm guessing it was a Pentium 3).
That's part of the beauty of it. She tells him right at the beginning not to try and understand; just intuit. I didn't give up, frustrated, until almost the end of the movie. Loved my second viewing, and would watch again. And I almost never rewatch anything.
I thought the same when I saw it in SF, with just one nagging annoyance - the mentions of racial justice felt a bit... token. Abolitionism is mentioned in passing a few times (e.g. Laurens "redefining bravery"), but never really got the spotlight.

I later discovered that there was a third cabinet battle, which was cut from the final script. You can hear a demo of it on the Hamilton Mixtape album. It features the main cast discussing a letter from Ben Franklin asking for slavery to be abolished. On the one hand, I can see why it was cut - 3 might be too many cabinet meetings - but it adds so much to the thematic tragedy to have Hamilton quietly give up his morals for practicality. He starts act 2 with his youth, his career, his family, and his idealism; by the end, he loses the first three, and the foreshadowing was there for him to lose the fourth, but it doesn't have the payoff.
What I'm sure will be a similar discussion from a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25520729
I did read that short story a long time ago. That was not jetpack but rather based on anti gravity.
He would probably be too small to show up on the type of radar you are probably thinking about, known as "primary radar." Most airspace isn't covered by primary radar though and instead relies on transponders to track planes.
Yes this is a drawback for me as well. I have basically moved completely away from Windows toward Linux for my home media PC, and I have enjoyed it so much I would like to do the same on the laptop. I was seriously considering an XPS 13" before I bought an M1 air, but it just doesn't seem like any other laptops are quite there at the moment. It would be nice if AMD's next low-power line gets more adoption by laptop manufacturers.
Merry Christmas, and to those who don't celebrate Christmas I hope you also have a wonderful time and are able to take a break from work.

>It makes sense, BMW quit being a car company in the past few years.

BMW has always first and foremost been a logo marketing company. They exist so moderately rich people can show off how moderately rich they are by driving a car with a BMW logo on it.
Manhattan and the NYC metro area was absolutely built with cars in mind, mostly under the vision of Robert Moses.
What a load of bullshit.
Completely agree on the Simply Piano plus MIDI approach. My autistic son is musically inclined, can play piano by ear. We have struggled trying to get him formally trained to read music. Then we found Simply Piano. He's taken to it very well, treating it as a game. This is the only way we have managed to get him to read music. We use it in conjunction with a music teacher via Zoom. Here's a video of him playing https://youtu.be/NEa9X36e7Vo

There's a huge assumption in this assertion: that you catch the coin.

If you let it bounce on a table, it's much more likely to land heavy-side down. Just imagine a very thick coin one side lead the other side balsa wood. That would land lead-side down much more than 50/50 if allowed to bounce on the table.
True. I was around 9 when I got into HP and 15 when the last book came out so it hit me right at the appropriate age where the books get slightly more serious as you grow up but you're still a kid who is into the book universe. The lore or some of the overarching plot points don't make too much sense when looking at them with adult eyes but you still have to give Rowling credit for writing books that are just difficult to put down for someone at the right age.
Enough with that. Googlers are not that stupid, there would be huge internal strikes if the health data was sold to, say, health insurance companies.

They are not dumb, their own health data privacy is in stake too, after all.

By the past they have proven numerous time that they have a lot the sense of responsibilities -- as employees, as a whole.
My mom just gave me most curious answer. Even numers end with even digit. Since 30 is even so must be 0.
The shrine decorations are monotonous but some of the puzzles are absolutely fantastic.

The one in the Korok forest where you have to figure out the relationship between the star map and the stones took me a long time and felt so satisfying to complete.

The game is polarising because it works only for a certain kind of player. I love just jumping in a random point of the map to chill and explore and suddenly find some surprise in the middle of nowhere, but if you prefer some linear and story-driven game I don't think BOTW is for you.
You might be seeing sexism where there is none. His wife (partner) might really be a man (I have no idea and don't really care) and it would not make any difference on OP's comment (I assume it can happen that one person in a couple has a very seemingly useless hobby which is so time consuming that it impacts their house keeping involvement, regardless of their genders).
No, I don't understand anything about fused fibre. Just want to clarify that part. I'm talking about the idea of sharing info rather than the specific case, for which I have no knowledge. Not pretending to know that.

For lots of software too it's just the real mechanism of stuff. I've definitely straight copied infrastructure code from friends at other companies. Not hardware process stuff certainly but it's straight plagiarism.

And honestly, I don't understand what the significance of "Then I realized Silicon Valley is immersed in a sea of electrons..." Is. I thought it was just colour but clearly you intend some significance to it.
I made the mistake of getting my girlfriend one of these smart watches for Christmas. The companies in California are even telling her when to breath now, it's way creepier than I thought it would be.

It may be that your opinion would change if you pushed through to the end. I liked it the entire way through, but I think it took finishing the final season for me to realize how masterful it all truly was.
Processing time: All of them. (Hardware keeps getting faster and software still keeps becoming slower.)

For export, avoiding reencoding where possible is a must in my opinion, e.g., for extracting clips from a video (even if frame boundaries are inexact).

Also, I would like it to be super easy to keep the existing frame rate, quality, encoding, etc. Most software I see today ask for fresh export settings and not let easily figure the current ones (I guess assuming each video clip imported may have differences on these parameters).

It would be so much better, for some tasks, to treat videos like usual documents - open, edit, save (to the same location), as opposed to import, edit, export.
It’s a niche market because the prices are so unreasonably high. Plenty of people want e-ink displays to use with Raspberry Pis, which would then become prototypes for real products, which would then open up the market. But the e-ink people seem intent on keeping the technology restricted for some reason by keeping the prices high.
> why would you think otherwise?

Because it wasn't the case in the past and I don't use Apple Health or backup to other people's machines, so I don't care enough to stay up to date on the particulars.

Prior to IOS 9 it did not store health data in the "cloud", except as an encrypted blob in a backup.

That sucks. Which region were you in? Germany various a lot.
You don't have a source for this. Quit racebaiting.
Having completed the game, I think it will eventually go down as one of the best games of all times. We’ll need time to forget about PS4, to get bug fixes and some DLCs. But by the time PS6 comes out, I think people will say that “Cyberpunk was the last truly great game”.

But it lowers taxes, and voters will always vote for lower taxes, especially when the benefits aren’t seen as in the case of an effective preventative safety effort.

And then something tragic happens, and the voters look for someone to blame, and measures are taken, sometimes overboard. But eventually, the attraction to lower taxes comes back and rinse, repeat.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender” tv series.

Enjoyable storyline with one of the most unique and satisfying endings. Great option to watch with the kids and it teaches life lessons along the way.
Yes, it is a very old story and that's specifically why I chose to highlight it. Consumer electronics are rarely about 'the best' chips, just the ones that work. Intel may not be the leader technology wise, but they have the contracts to put their processors where they need to be. They don't have the strength they used to, they still leverage the existing relationships with OEMs.

And regarding AMD's production capabilities, that seems to be old news. According to a report [1] from August, there don't seem to be any major logistical issues anymore. They've massively scaled up output from TSMC, at some points this year making up about 20% of their production output [2]. Whether this is on the same level as Intel, it's hard to say - If you have information comparing them I'd love to see it.

As I understand they intended to have 5 seasons but condensed it to 4.

I agree the last season felt rushed but overall I felt the whole course of the show was more cohesive than most series.

I have 3 chromebook bricked due to update issues. My 2009 imac is going strong and gut feeling says my 2020 MBA will definitely outlast 2023 chromebooks.
I read 20 pages into the kindle ebook but gave up the first book of the series. I know the story/plot is quite good according to the reviews and whatnots. But the whole writing style is not very elegant and hard to follow. I am not sure if it is because of bad translation.
I loved the end to the second season and while there are so many questions I'd love to see answered, I felt like it also made for good series finale.
Ruined over Ripple/Xrp Losses
I canon believe how much I lost with XRP today. Down tens of thousands dollars. Any idea what I should do. Should i hold out or just cut losses. It will be hard trying to explain over the holidays how I lost so much money. Everything just feels so awful right now. Feel like such an idiot. Why now. Why coudnt the SEC do this years ago.

Y’CbCr is simply not perceptually uniform, it is a simple rotation of RGB to separate better Luma and Chroma and thus be able to compress the latter more to leverage our lesser sensitivity to colour variation.
Yeah, I fully agree with that. Only thing is that I do think that a teacher can give you motivation by pointing you towards a next step that is both achievable and interesting for you.
I mostly use this approach as well but my experience with multiple services is that I eventually (and sooner, rather than later) end up hearing same 100 or so recommended songs. Maybe I'm too picky, but I just don't have great luck with recommendation engines anywhere I go.
For colour science though?
I’ve been in the field for 25 years, including work inside telco COs and large data centers, and as far as I know I’ve never been in the same room as a VT220. I doubt that many of my more junior coworkers have even heard of one.

I know what they are and how you might still use one today, but they’re extremely rare outside maybe a couple of very narrow niches.
I wouldn't necessarily read too much into that. Sadly there have apparently been similar cases where family members have been harassed by anonymous internet users for not reporting their adult family members missing. Apparently law enforcement is now giving families a heads up during the identification process and allowing them to retain some level of anonymity. I've seen this specifically cited as the reason "Lyle Stevik"[0]'s name was never made public.

Googlers are not Wall Street sharks... not confuse species...

Googlers go on strike if a juicy deal is made with China in exchange to some complacency to state-censorship. Or when it's an Defense contract with any country.

Wall Street sharks just pop Champaign bottles when these kind of contracts happen, that's the difference.

> "Is zero a natural number?"

As with the PEMDAS "trick" questions that show up sometimes on the internet, this is a trick question to what I say: it is what you want to be.

Integers/Positive/Rational etc numbers have an exact definition. "Natural numbers" are "numbers that appear in nature" or some finicky definition like that.

If you want 0 to be there it's fine. If you don't you're wrong but it's fine as well ;)

If you want "positive integers > 0" say that.
This sounds like a great resource, am I missing something or are there only two chapters and one is dedicated to piano tuning? Or is this more of a meta resource that tells you where to go to learn something like chord theory etc?
Using media queries in SVG isn't just about getting a few pixel colors correct. In terms of total expenses effort, an SVG that looks right at small sizes with media queries isn't much more effort than making raster versions of the graphics.

A single good SVG can obviate your small raster images and the 2x and 3x versions you might need for HiDPI screens. You can also get automatic handling of dark mode with no changes to your page's CSS.

There's work involved but the flexibility is pretty awesome.

I was looking for some English language fiction literature. Any book you'd recommend?
Maybe you should? (Wear shorts that have pockets).

This is the kind of trade off that people who get really into something make, they don’t put on a pair of running shorts that weigh 2-3 oz. and slip an ID in there, to avoid the extra weight. I get it, I have some hobbies that I’m pretty serious about — but the point of the above EMT’s post is to think through what would happen in the event of the worst. If I got hit by a bus, whether or not I was dead, I’d want someone to be able to call my mom pretty fast. That’s hard when you’re optimizing for the version of the experience where everything goes well.

One thing I recommend is getting an extra disposable ID to carry while biking or running. It would be a pain to replace my driver’s license but my NYC ID is just a matter of filling out a form online.
