> It’s not because a subject is interesting only a small niche that there is no freedom of “debate”.

Did I suggest otherwise?

It may be hard to do accurately, but that doesn't make it hopeless. If both sides want to exclude "crackpots" and people who's contributions lack technical quality, that is simply accounted for in the estimate. Whether you think that's fair to therefore characterize everyone as "intolerant" is another matter . I certainly wouldn't characterize them that way, though I get the impression the parent poster might, though perhaps only as a way to claim moral equivalence between all sides. I would expect there to remain quantifiable differences between those who claim they want a "healthy debate from all sides" and those who want to achieve social progress by limiting access to the debate.
Well, those countries are not global powers, yet. Quite a bit of the China bashing comes from the US, and that's why I brought it up. If we judge the US and a lot of the other so called world leaders by the same standard as we judge China, things don't look so rosy anymore.
The reason I spend time booking travel is either because I want to save a few bucks (and then paying someone makes no sense) or because I'm exploring options to know what I want (again, makes no sense having someone else do it). If it were pure business travel as in "I have to be at a conference in city A from X to Y" I could see the value, maybe. But for personal? No.

I spend literally a minute with customer support a year, I think it would be easier voicing my issue directly than having to explain it to a third party and having multiple follow ups..

I don't get this at all. I'm so at the opposite I would almost pay money to be able to do this myself instead of having others in control. Can't fathom paying for the hassle of having others do this.
There was a website here the other day that planned to build a community of people that review products as they age. A review after the first 2 weeks, 2 years then 10 years etc. "Buy for Life" or something like that.
Not just that it's a human right, but then to what extent that it is. That societal agreement on what treatments should be covered is where most of the contention lies. We could adopt the views of the Amish and it would be relatively low cost, but that would likely raise many objections about "letting people die".

> We wrote this post because we have unique visibility into a substantive issue that requires educating MacAdmins about these differences so they don't get tripped up during an incident.

I agree — my point is simply that Apple has always said that you need to enable FileVault to protect against physical access to the device and that didn't change with the T2 or newer Mac hardware. The most interesting part here to me is the osquery improvement you contributed since that exposes a situation which became more nuanced than it used to be.

I'm entirely supportive of anything which spread the word that you really want to make sure you confirm that FileVault is enabled. My objection was to the title wording which made it sound like some promised functionality wasn't working was a distraction.

Foreign aid is never intended to help the people of a nation. It's used by high-income democratic nations to support autocratic policies and resource extraction.

I doubt very much of that 793M makes it to any of the people pulling these scams. It's typically used as legal bribes for the governments of those countries, who distributed it to all their cronies at the top, in order to maintain power and sell national resources to the US/EU and others at very low prices.

And meanwhile my unemployment payments sit at 0 nearly four months after filing. Just sitting at pending a determination. Can't get anyone to answer the phone or e-mail.
That's exactly right. The total in the headline (I didn't read through to do a serious accounting) comes to about a 10% overhead vs. CARES act funding. That's bad. States should work to make the process more efficient. But efforts at stopping fraud like this by increasing bureaucratic friction can easily end up cutting out 10% of entitled recipients who just don't have the right paperwork.

In fact, most state unemployment systems reliably and measurably shortchange their citizens by being needlessly restrictive. They need to be easier to qualify for, not harder.

Seeing some of the comments here being ethical concerns too for basically stalking people for legal advantage. OK, that's certainly overkill. But I'm fine with them using some legal force.

A lot of good stuff in this release! Both LinearTypes and QualifiedDo (which is useful for LinearTypes but also other uses)

The ghc-bignum change is kind of boring, but it does help a lot with the long-standing problematic dependency on gmp.

I'm sorry do you believe these masks only filter COVID, or that there will never be another reason to mask up?

Can you spell out in explicit detail what you mean with your statement? Because to me it reads as "we don't need masks because of vaccines."

That would be the dumbest take I've read on this site in awhile if this is the case, and I'm really hoping it is not since you have other users agreeing with you.
If you qualify. I make too much to qualify for "assistance", but my insurance is ridiculously high and every year (I do shop around) they ask for more and offer less and less. "If" is the biggest word in the dictionary. The issue is divorcing medicine and profit. Healthcare is and always will be a basic human right. I would be OK with starting incrementally, say, I buy health insurance and I pay NOTHING ELSE EVER, no matter if I stub my toe or I need a quadruple bypass. The issue is also one of the insurance companies coming between me and my doctor. We know what's best for me, not the insurance company. I've been fighting this battle for 20 years and I'm more disgusted with each passing year. I now know how to fight it on an individual level as far as getting debt forgiven, etc., but no one should have to live like this.
Watch Night: A holy ritual on New Year’s Eve bears witness to emancipation
I apologize and cannot edit my comment.
This might need more explanation:

Bans are issued on some kind of unique per-device ID. So you're not completely safe using EmuNAND, unless you refrain from ever going online.

Common practice is to do homebrew activity on EmuNAND without going online there, and keeping a clean SysNAND for online activities. You can also wipe uniquely identifying keys on EmuNAND and essentially ban yourself there, then you won't be able to use any Nintendo services (incl. updates & online play) in EmuNAND but you can go online for homebrew stuff -relatively- safe.

So what you can't have is both homebrew and online services in the same NAND. Not to mention no matter how hard the community tries, each new update has the potential for Nintendo to introduce more "telemetry" to identify CFW devices before community gets wiser.

Either way, there are no certainties when it comes to ban evasion.

JRE are gone as of Java 9 actually, replaced by application custom images produced via jlink.

You can still get JRE, but they aren't as official as they used to be until Java 8.

And in any case, customization flags for which GC to use, or JIT caches, are part of any Java runtime implementation.

Not just time, but also demographics. Most issues today are urban vs rural. Urbanization tends to increase over time, moving us further on progressive topics. You can see this most clearly on gun rights in countries that hit 80% urbanization under similar representative governments.

Good observation. Writing lore romanticizes dysfunctional writers,fashioning them into martyrs of the craft. But among famous writers, plenty were well adjusted people. A book called "how writers journey to comfort and fluency" is a great treatment of the subject.
That went pretty fast, on a ghc timescale. Well done! Promising for the future.

This seems to be indicative of the great problem of the future. If a small percentage of the world’s population are devious and seek to ruin things for everyone else, how does the global society punish that? If it’s only just 1% of the population, that’s still over 70 million folks spread across thousands of jurisdictions... The ultimate free rider problem. And will likely grow exponentially until we come up with some way to change the structure of the world, or if the fraction grows, until they consume all the productive surplus.

I am not 100% sure if a full Universal HealthCare will work in the US even though in general, I am a general supporter of ANYTHING different than we have now so I will be willing to try it. But my ideal solution will be something like:

- Get rid of insurance companies for EVERY visit to the doc/hospital. Make prices transparent and available OTC for anyone to compare between various practices. It is kinda like car insurance if you think about it. I can bet that if we had to involve insurance companies for things like oil change, premiums would skyrocket and not to mention the overhead of the middleman. Let people pay cash for general stuff. For those who can't pay at all, see below.

- Govt. should insure everyone for catastrophic illnesses to start with. This is where we all pool in a bit from our taxes for the greater good. I however do think that we should limit this to serious illnesses like cancer etc.

- Based on level of income, Govt. should also insure/subsidize poor/low income groups for general visits, procedures etc etc. May be a small CoPay type stuff. But no major bill. High income folks don't get this Govt. Benefit (kinda like Food stamps ?).

- Did I already say get rid of middlemen Insurance Companies for basic stuff ? Ok good.

- Private insurance should still exist but let them compete in a real free market. If someone wants to buy private insurance as additional supplement, no problem. Just don't force me to use an insurance company just because I want to go talk to a doctor for 30 mins.

- Get rid of all the crap like In network, out network, Deductible blah blah. Keep it simple. Get rid of filing an insurance claim for EVEEEERY thing. I got to a doc, I can pay Cash. I am done. Boom. No need for crazy billing systems and figuring out who will send me a bill.

Lets do this ?
If you are talking about raw devices in the wild. I'm pretty sure at this point ARM CPUs outnumbers x86 by a significant margin. Android + iOS + embedded ARM... it's big.

Aside from this, I would suggest that what's far more important than general "X is bigger than Y" discussions, knowing what your target platform is more important. If you are doing Mac or iOS programming, switching to M1 is inevitable and the only question is whether it's worth waiting for the next M series processor or not.

If you are writing Windows software... this isn't even a consideration.

Right now the toolchains for building a lot of OSS are in a state of flux. Some work with the M1 but most are in progress or beta at best. So if you lean heavy on OSS, you are likely on Rosetta and not really benefitting from the M1 regardless.
On the contrary, I don’t think the PSX emulation would be worse for input lag; that’s likely all delay from WebRTC, so it’s probably roughly equivalent.

For that reason it’s pretty amazing the (lack of) input delay you see with Stadia, which I believe is also built on WebRTC — although with one peer (Google) always hosting the video and the other (the user) providing input I’m wondering if there’s some clever way to improve upon this...
It's fairly clear from the linked article that he's saying given the low case count at the time (~400) he's not expecting more than ten deaths:

"Speaking to Kan's Reshet Bet radio on Wednesday, Levitt, who lives part-time in Tel Aviv, said that on a global scale, the number of cases in Israel is very small."

Regardless of what you think of Levitt, he's clearly not making predictions about the indefinite future.

The post seems more like an argument against protobuf in general than against its use in telemetry. The main complaints seem to be that the library is big and that nested serialization is tricky because of design decisions.

In regards to binary size, using whatever serializing you're already doing for your main data seems like a win for telemetry. Including telemetry with your main data has pluses and minuses, but using the same serialization is generally fine, unless your serialization can fail, in which case it's hard to report on how many times telemetry serialization fails, because you might not be able to serialize it.
What rule did Apple cite to do so?

While I certainly approve of discouraging such dangerous behaviour during the epidemic, I worry about the potential for abuse by corporates here to decide what to publish or distribute on their terms (tacitly approved by the government because it helps them too)
Getting Java's generics out of your head when doing C++ is definitely a challenge. It's just so disappointing you cannot do something like:

void myFunc(List<? extends MyDataContainer<?>> list);

Instead you end up with a base class MyDataContiner and then manually extending it with something like MyDataContinerInt or MyDataContinerLong etc...

C++ templates may be very powerful, but limitations like this feel out of place in a language as bloated as C++ already is...

Admittedly, I still have much to learn about C++. It's been quite an experience, frustrating at times, learning this language.

> Well, obviously it isn't needed today but you can always change the economy so that it becomes profitable enough to hire everyone.

That's the part that I don't understand. Like you're saying you could increase demand, so more people want more services and more products, implying the current set of employed people would now no longer be enough to keep up with this new demand, so they'd need to hire more. Ok, well assuming the latter is true, that the current set of employed people can't scale to higher demand, what still doesn't make sense to me is where would this higher demand come from and especially how would this new demand afford to spend more money? If everyone is unemployed, it seems only if the existing employed people spend more money can the demand increase, since the unemployed cannot afford to spend more anyways.

But why would the employed suddenly choose to spend like twice as much money? You'd need to come up with some innovative new product or service that is irresistible. (Side note: I believe this is actually where the US excels at. They're always creating new services and products, creating an accretion of the total set of things people want.)

So you've got this chicken and egg problem. The question is how do you bootstrap this?

I think one way is investing in new ventures. Give incentives to the currently employed to invest their money in an attempt at creating a new product or service that will in turn cause the other existing employed to spend more money (continue to spend on what they currently spend on + this new service or product). And that will create new jobs (hopefully), allowing more people to enter the pool of employed, and repeat this until you have full employment.

In this model though, we're relying on an infinite growth. Because the pendulum goes: create new spending habits, this leads to new jobs, now optimize production and offshore, this leads to job loss, now hope that we come up with some more growth that leads to even more spending habits, etc.

So it basically says, as soon as there's no longer any new shiny thing, the rich will just hord the money. So if you want the rich to redistribute their money, you need to give them shiny new things in exchange. And so you want to create policies that promote the creation of shiny new things.

Well, this model has worked pretty well to be honest. So I'm not going to criticize it too much. But I think we are seeing some of its downsides as well. It's based on a very unsustainable consumption model, that takes a big tole on the environment. And it might also have a maximum, maybe there is now so many shiny things, that the speed at which we can come up with even more shiny things that people would keep wanting is slowing down. (Also because you need the existing shiny things to continue to be sold as well, if you replace an old one by a new you didn't grow the pie, just changed hands).

And I believe that's the motivation for finding a different model that be more sustainable. Maybe UBI ain't it, but I understand the drive to search for one.

Covid Vaccine Update: US Won't Meet 20M Doses Goal by Year End
I must have finished like 15 projects that was meant to be generating money and was technically capable to do that.

Biggest failure was SAAS for organizing wineries and generating reports for carious government bodies. There are various old software from 90s that do that or you can use paper books (depending on country you are not allowed to use excel).

I've spent around 3 years of fulltime work but it turned out farmers do not care about software. They might use some old desktop software or just hope that inspection is not going to come. Software is still up and running and there are some paying customers, but it just doesn't make sense to spend much time working against the wind. Also my addressable market is not big enough to support additional development.
It really depends on your scale and how many messages you are processing per second. For a lot of applications, you’re absolutely correct, but if you’re scale is sufficient, a “micro” optimization like this is actually a “macro” optimization. Also the author of this article works at DataDog and I suspect the number of messages they process each second falls under the sufficient category.

For example, suppose you are processing 1M messages per second and you can shave 1 byte off the message size, that shaves off 1MB/sec of data that needs to be processed. If you’re paying for network bandwidth or storing the messages, that saves you something like 2.6TB of data each month.

2.6TB/month is not likely to be a huge deal when it comes to cost savings, but if you keep scaling the messages/sec or the bytes/msg you can start to get some significant savings.

Now I used message size as an example, and the article focuses on processing time not message size, but the point still stands. When you can make a micro optimization for something that is done a very large number of times, there are not-insignificant gains to be had.
