I unfortunately decided to move to Apple with the 2019 Macbook Air, which had the awful keyboard. It genuinely took a chunk out of they joy out of programming for me, to be typing "correctly" and then suddenly a character is skipped or doubled.

The great thing is that I identified that as the only major flaw I could find. So I'm waiting a bit and getting the new M1 on the post-holidays with the fixed keyboard.

Also as the author suggests, I loathe window since it feel all of the time that they are trying to scam or trick you. I've used Linux forever, which has issues for sure, but at least you feel the system is on your side and the internet people are as well. I was pleasantly surprised about macOS being fairly on the user side (though I do know of the issues e.g. installing 3rd party software).
This goes back to the debate of what’s the definition of intelligence. You can build an agent which has memory and adapts to the environment, but you would not use the word “intelligence” in a sense you use it to describe humans or even pets. Like, does Roomba remember things and plan?
You're missing "steve.dev" on the first list - not me, though I have two steve-domains!

Yes, things like "Asians are good at math" is racist, even if it's a positive stereotype.

That said, the parent poster said that many leadership positions, plural, were filled by people of color. I think it's probably reasonable to say that a community of many political leaders of color are more familiar with systemic racism. These are folks who specifically choose to get involved in politics and leadership, and likely represent fairly large constituencies. It's not unreasonable to assume that they broadly have experience or are able to communicate with their communities that have experience with systems that negatively impact people of color.
Just a LoRa gateway without the WAN stack? There are usb serial devices for 20-30 pounds, you can use a raspberry pi with them for a cheap gateway. We’ve used some for development and testing. https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/b-l072z-lrwan1.html

The most confusing thing about the Jordan Peterson popularity was how some people seemed to take the opposite meaning from what I heard him actually saying. I don’t mean his detractors which took uncharitable interpretations but his fans. It was really bizarre since I listened to him enough to realize he wasn’t saying much he was just saying it in a way some group listened.

I think the next SCM tool to Git, is what a Jetbrains IDE is to a text editor. It's an integrated environment on top of Git which deeply understands your code structure, dependencies, etc.
Bitstamp to halt trading of XRP for US customers
Since Unix doesn't (traditionally at least) offer any access control mechanism more granular than a User, it was only natural that you'd get a lot of "system users" that are required for all sorts of operations but are not in any way associated with human users.

And now, since you have so many system users and almost always a single human user, you start wanting to install programs that will be used by both yourself and those system users, and it would be extremely problematic to go writing into 10 different bin/ and lib/ folders to install the same thing for 10 users.

Not to mention, a lot of software you want to install also runs some daemons or manages some system settings, and obviously requires root access to do so, but mag run into problems if it is not installed for root.
> The problem at hand is actually a pet peeve of mine and I really don't get why it's still the default to grant programs access to all our personal data.

That's because our data has become a commodity relatively recently, and desktop technology still hasn't fully caught up yet. Regardless, it seems in general it's companies that run web services that are a bigger problem than desktop applications.

Either way, I'm glad projects like these exist, including snapd, flatpak, and this. The likes of flatpak and snapd may not be perfect, but it's progress.
Commenting just to say I’m working on it. Unfortunately nothing publicly available yet.

> Indian laws, especially concerning marriage and divorce are extremely skewed towards women,

And that is because they needed to be.

- Indian women are still viewed by many family as a burden because of the pervasive dowry culture in indian society.

- Indian women are also expected to be a housewife / homemaker after she has kids and look after everyone's needs while being totally dependent on her husband / in-laws.

- Indian women are expected to give birth to sons.

- Most of them are married off between the age of 16-20 (18 is the legal age limit in India), sometimes even before they complete high school. (Child marriages are common too, but are reducing).

All these factors means that they are very vulnerable to the negative elements of indian society (of which there are many because it is a country of a billion+ people). The dowry factor means there is an incentive to not only harass woman for more money but also to get rid of them and marry again to get more dowry. (Before these laws were passed it was quite common to hear about wives being brutally abused and even killed for dowry. It still happens).

This is also why even the divorce laws are "skewed" in favour of the women in India. While indian men can re-marry more easily, indian women can't - indian society considers them as "damaged goods" because "she doesn't know how to keep a family together" (yes, the whole burden is only on her!).

More importantly, men view these divorce laws as "skewed" because of the alimony they have to pay. They feel outraged at the amount they have to pay to someone whom they now consider at the level of a "maid", rather than recognizing the sacrifice the women makes to be a house wife / home maker (a sacrifice that is sometimes forced upon her by society).

Indian laws are correcting the imbalance of power between a man and a woman in indian society. Sure, women are no saints. But they certainly are more than the men in India. (I know because I too am an indian guy who still has a tough time wrapping his head around how to perceive and treat women with what traditions and society expect from me vs the healthy respectful way).
VSCode+WSLRemote plugin works really well with code on linux. Full speed command line, full speed code search.

Tech in general - and Silicon Valley in particular - have an ageism problem.

Let me explain.

- If you entered the industry when you were young, you are fine. Myself and several colleagues/friends who started our careers in the 80s and 90s, even early 2000s when we were in our 20s are fine. Perhaps even at an advantage. We can get hired at principal / eng manager / director level engineering roles without answering brain teasers and tongue twisters.

But there is another side to this story:

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s (even 50s, though that’s rarer) coming into these companies, there is a dirty tactic used to discriminate legally- the up-levelled interview.

Recruiters slot you into level beginner + 1 or 2, on the strength of you career experience. That is a trap, and an easy rejection for the company because obviously these candidates should be hired at a junior level.

However the wisdom at these companies is that junior engineers are expected to mostly spend their time learning - so there is a strong implicit bias there. 30 year olds generally aren’t comfortable with spending time mentoring people older than them. Of the junior roles, you have fresh college grads with algo / data course they took last spring fresh in their mind, lots of free time to practice brain teasers (likely no job in college) taking up the bulk of the junior roles.

Congressional black causus forced companies to report certain “under represented” minority hiring numbers - but nobody bats an eye at the age dichotomy. I wonder if it’s because you can’t play identity politics and garner votes on the basis of age.

I know two women who decided to switch to developer roles in their 40s. One was asked a dynamic programming question and still looking for a job. The other worked in IT before (not software development) but was made to interview at junior level + 1 and unsurprisingly failed to get the job. Meanwhile her portfolio and projects are well made, responsive apps, following best practices, CI, tests etc. Very disheartening to see.
I don't think so. Evolution only "cares" about reproduction. Once you reproduce, you're sort of done from an evolution perspective. So, there is no evolutionary pressure towards immortality because mortals multiply just fine.
They make that point exactly (and mention Drake equation of course) along with other possible explanations such as that it might be the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself, in what is probably my favorite This American Life #617 — Fermi's Paradox.

Perhaps I remember it so vividly because it was the perfect setting: I was 3+ months into hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, North California, night hiking by myself, earphones on, the wildfire smoke started to clear up, the air was crisp and the night sky got sprinkled with countless bright stars for the first time in a while.

I use a mac for my main...but the office has to run some old activex windows program. We managed to snag a few T490s on sale, which wasn't bad. But basically we wiped the drive with a fresh install, and it seems to work ok for people who were working on some decrepit Dells before upgrading. Screen and trackpad setup really sucks. I've gone to keeping the program alive on my NUC desktop and RDP'ing in from my mac...
Neither is acceptable in my eyes. Implicit in your post is the idea that the system functions and functions well.

If a single person is incorrectly identified by a system design to catch warrants, the system has failed beyond redemption.

No system can guarantee such perfect recognition, so the only reasonable thing to do is never deploy them.
GoDaddy have been caught doing some dodgy things in the past. Like taking your money for brokerage and not doing any work afterwards.
Or registering domains and parking them if lot of people search for them e.g. via who is or the registration form.

Hopefully they've turned it around and actually working on useful services nowadays...
That's fine if only companies are renting domain names. But some of us are individuals running hobby webpages or trying to take control of our email domains.
Right, and this is specifically to avoid things like hyperinflation.

Do you trust Congress to manage the money supply? I don't. I think they'd use it to buy votes rather than to do what's good for the country, and the result would be disaster.

Yesterday I cooked oatmeal burgers (oatmeal, onions and eggs) and my parents told me that they tasted better than meat ones. To manufacture artificial meat is more difficult than artificial milk and eggs, and I think it is a better venue to go.
I've been at the heart of Linux audio for more than 20 years.

The situation on Linux is not "not good". Most people who comment on it simply don't know what they are talking about.

It is fair to say that Macs are easier to get good results with.
There’s a few layers to this. You’re completely correct that you can use those boards for LoRa without LoRaWAN. I think what OP is looking for, though, is cheap LoRaWAN gateways that aren’t tied to The Things Network. Can’t use the SX1276 for that, since it can only time one receive frequency at a time.

There’s cheap gateways available that are hard-coded to talk to TTN, and there’s expensive gateways available that let you run a private WAN. There just doesn’t seem to be cheap gateways available to run a private WAN.
I watched this in 2020 even though it's from EuroBSDCon 2019. I'm talking about Patricia Aas keynote "Embedded Ethics": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNIiitVFtc

> Interstellar travel is possible with 1960s technology. Search for Project Orion.

That hasn't been demonstrated. Project Orion was canceled before critical parts of technology were actually tested, and the mechanical viability of a pusher plate that has to absorb the impact of several nearby nuclear explosions in rapid succession is somewhat doubtful.
The author does acknowledge this problem, though way down towards the end of a long article:

> IP: Another problem is that I'm using a lot of IP that's not mine as basis for the mockups. Because this is designed as a Nintendo console, at the same time being a nice product for people who would definitely want it, at least marketing would take care of itself.
I used to, and to my knowledge, that place is still like that. If you lived outside the city limits (which is really easy in a city of 3000 people, but a large county overall) then the only police who would respond to calls were county.
Providing analysis is one direction.

But there is another: Reporting news that already happened.

See, most news report on what will happen today, what is expected to happen within 3 days, 1 month. It builds expectations and stress in the mindset of the listener; It keeps the audience hung to the news stream but I think it is the most toxic characteristic, even before the divisive aspect of current news providers.

It’s as if we got so fast that instead of reporting on news « within 1 day! » or « within 1 hour! », we provide the news within « -3 hours ».
I haven't tried it. To be honest, I don't trust console reviews :)

I'm not the OP, but I ran ArchLinux with great success on my Carbon X1C. Everything other than the fingerprint reader were recognized and "just worked". I did also try Manjaro for a few months. It was not too bad either. I did have to fiddle with a few more things to get sound working properly (when I plugged into an external monitor).
Could you add your commentary to the quote? I don’t quite follow the point you are making, or how it connects to the article.
It's absolutely not, but it's being picked up industry-wide and even by Microsoft themselves. Basically any piece of Electron shitware can be found installing itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%, silently updating itself and leaving gigabytes of old copies around in subfolders. I think it's a lost battle and not worth getting angry about anymore.
Git changed its implementation with time too.

def binary_search(numbers: List[int], target: int) -> int:

if not numbers:
return -1
if len(numbers) == 1 and numbers[0] != target:
return -1

middle = math.floor(len(numbers) / 2)

if numbers[middle] == target:
return target
elif numbers[middle] > target:
return binary_search(numbers[0: middle], target)
else:
return binary_search(numbers[middle + 1:], target)
And it's a completely different thing to use it to solve murder, rape and assault. The problem is that they all get bundled together and collectively dismissed under the guise of "privacy" and "potential for abuse".
Anyone who makes any speech or actions which is then misconstrued is considered to be an act of terrorism. So Chelsea Manning talking about and releasing videos of war crimes and the deliberate shooting of reuters journalists by US soldiers is considered terrorism by this logic.

Here’s the idea behind stochastic terrorism:

A leader or organization uses rhetoric in the mass media against a group of people.
This rhetoric, while hostile or hateful, doesn’t explicitly tell someone to carry out an act of violence against that group, but a person, feeling threatened, is motivated to do so as a result.
That individual act of political violence can’t be predicted as such, but that violence will happen is much more probable thanks to the rhetoric.
This rhetoric is thus called stochastic terrorism because of the way it incites random violence.

“Rightfully entitled” isn’t something that everybody agrees on.

But let me ask you, if taxes were cut by 75%, what percentage of that money do you think would end up getting donated to charity? 2%?
Well, it still has 60 years to go before you can contest my hypothesis.

Still, I was probably too ambitious when I said "computer". I was thinking more that we can't make a PC or server-style computer that would actually last 100 years, while in regular operation.

Also, 1980s calculators have much, much fewer moving parts than today's computers. They don't have any kind of active cooling, they don't go through rapid heating and cooling cycles, they probably have three orders of magnitude less electrical components than a modern PC.

For me at least, all of the PCs I have had so far have had a few electrical components giving out after at most 10 years (usually some condensers leaked).
> Nike missile project. [...] This would have turned the bay area into glass

What is your basis for this claim? Are you aware that a great deal of atmospheric nuclear testing has been conducted, so the effects of nukes in the atmosphere are fairly well understood? That one of these tests was performed with men standing directly under the bomb, and they were unscathed? Also keep in mind 'modern bomb' is not synonymous with 'big bomb.'
It's such a common assumption that when you imply that the children of wealthy African immigrants might not have any more insight into the culture and experiences of black US descendants of slaves than the median US white person, you're reflexively accused of being racist. It's racist to believe black people are fungible. We wouldn't expect the child of an Italian diplomat to give us insight into the experience of growing up on Staten Island.

edit: tbh, it's usually a pragmatic belief. It's easier to convince upper-middle class black people that what you want to do is good for black people in general (because their culture largely overlaps yours and they share your values), and wealthy black people and average black people look the same in pictures.

edit2: I hate to come back to this, but just look up Ray Nagin and his response to the hurricane that ultimately washed all of the black people out of New Orleans for an idea of the character of a lot black leadership in the south, and its total disconnection from any working class awareness. Just looked him up now to see what happened to him since and was not surprised.
When you must realize this yourself. What shape is the management?
'sometimes' doesn't make sense. That would also just create more interest.
As I mentioned, there's more to come. For example, pricing section will have that toggle monthly and yearly plan without JS. Then there's also hamburger menu you can toggle without JS as well.

For now, I just wanted to share this project quickly and get feedback. Come check it out next week, you'll love it. Thanks for your feedback.
Most of those names don’t look very Swedish. Only one that I see really working is Daniel.

And as far as I can tell there is no IKEA furniture named DANIEL. They could use that name for some furniture that would complement the BILLY bookshelves for example.
And implicit in your post is that this system can't be designed to function well at all. A logical view would be that if something isn't "perfect", you build around that imperfection and use it for its good parts whilst mitigating and eliminating the bad parts.
Cool, I like that it's just links. Actually reminds me of Arbtr, an ultra minimalist curation platform http://www.arbtr.com
I believe Xcode 12 can only target back to 10.9. (Xcode throws an error when you try to go older, I think the command-line tools can still go back farther though)
no, I'm saying that "ethics" discourse has been hijacked by militant activists pushing political agenda.
That process has already happened to a large degree. We can contrast New Orleans with cities like Austin and San Jose, which use all of the technologies New Orleans just banned (except facial recognition) and have much lower crime rates to show for it.
> Git will be replaced by something that uses intuitive metaphors like "save", "load", "undo", "go back to old version", "update my work with work from colleague", "update the official state with my work" and others.

If that were actually the case, then the dominant programming language today would be COBOL, rather than anything we have now.
Then we're back to the energy requirement, yes.

I wouldn't even be convinced then that we have the technology today. Any repair system would necessarily suffer from the same kinds of failures.
When I did Distributed Systems in Uni, it was in C (huuuge mess) and when I visited another Uni, they joked that they taught the course in Java, because "we're not savages".

I keep thinking how much more we could've actually learned about DS if we weren't fighting fires with C.
> ... final, completely American victory over any real competition in space launch technology...

No technology victory is ever final and complete, especially not between nations. What we have done can be copied. China has shown itself to be really good at copying, and they have some really smart people. They certainly can do it, if they choose to.
