> People saying the MacBook pro 16" might solve the issue but tbh I think this is apples way of pigeonholing users to either their desktop version or their laptop.

This is their first generation M1 and they haven't rolled it out across their entire line (which they have said they intend to do). Today marks the second month since they were released (10 Nov 2020). They haven't yet released something in the same class as the MacBook Pro 16", which it sounds like you'd prefer. Give it a year before assuming malicious intent.
Yes, that’s exactly my point.
Cool. When I want a bang code, my first (!sp) or second guess is usually there.

We know that they have similar technology in production today (using more conventional technology but with the same result).

It's also likely no coincidence that "Space Force" is a thing now.
Is the yin-yang metaphor an intentional pun to Andrew Yang? That's clever, I like it. I'm not sure if I buy this esoteric explanation though. Right now we're back to neoliberalism and neoconservatism, assuming the sky won't fall on our heads tomorrow, so I don't see how that's any better. People got really emotional and their emotions will be once again used to grab even more power and push further policies that benefits everyone, except the people.

> The ability for private companies to deplatform who they want is a feature, it's a failsafe against authoritarianism and tyranny - and it's not black and white, all or nothing - it's a spectrum or gradient, and it can be evolved with good core policies like those that will break apart the duopoly and reduce the power of amalgamated mainstream media

If you'd listen to the right-libertarians, the conclusion they've reached is that if we would take capitalism without the government to it's full extent, it would be a very authoritarian system. They correctly predicted this tactics of deplatforming from every angle that we can see today, as a way of getting rid of undesirable people who would try to bring back the government. Ironically enough, they were wrong only in that it targeted them first, not the communists. I guess the second part addresses this, and what can I say to that, I wish I could be that optimistic.

> So I don't agree with your premise that either side had actual control of what narrative was presented, which is a problem in of itself

Sorry, I wasn't clear at all in what I meant. By "the left" and "the right" I generally meant that the people in power on the left went after Trump supporters. It's showing my own biases there I guess in portraying it as the "elites vs people", but to my defense, I'd say it was at least accurately on topic of this thread. And surely there are already more than enough people to go after the right-wingers in power, so I'm sure it's fine. But I agree with you, Reps and right-leaning media are lying to their base just as much as Dems and left-leaning media are lying to their base, if that's what you're saying.
> browse PornHub's recommended videos in incognito mode. Go through a few pages. Click into a few categories. Don't even do weird searches, just go through what it recommends.

Yeah, I totally never did that before at all.
I highly recommend playing the final episode. Interestingly I recall the devs mentioned Trump's win and the subsequent political tension caused a big change in the way the game was developed and the themes they wanted to include. So I don't know if the wait was so bad- I don't know what the last episode was originally meant to be, but the way it is now is a beautiful examination of the most painful, human, vulnerable pieces of the american dream.
Thanks for the feedback! Redesigned swiss-army-knife is well put.

I’m sure Array’s not for everyone, but for some, including me it’s a nifty tool.
I don’t expect people to memorise all the features of the library - the aim was to name and document
each feature clearly such that finding the right method would be easy with the help of an IDE.
Yes, you’re right it doesn’t make any sense, there’s no real reason it wouldn’t work. You’d have to rethink national and supranational government at that point though.
Well that and the labor protections we do provide end up primarily benefiting businesses and unions over the individual workers themselves.
Which dock? I have a dock and still have all four ports on my MBP 16 filled up too.
I'd like to see how much gaming Apple Silicon can support. So I'm very curious to see what next year's M1X/M2 machines will bring. Of course, we're also at the dawn of widespread cloud gaming so perhaps this consideration will also be moot.
Any way to get an epub version so I can load on Kindle with navigable chapters?
You are exposing an imprecision in the way that this is usually talked about, yes. If you are willing to use the C ABI, then you can use a combination of that repr and annotations on your functions and produce a shared object in Rust with a stable ABI.

What people usually mean here is that Rust would have its own stable ABI, that you would get “for free,” without needing to do that work. (It’s never actually free of course... but that’s yet another detail that is usually papered over when people talk about this.)
Partially, yes! - And partially about priorities.

So, you're doing whatever sequence is better. It's a general case of the example you mention:

With one permutation (yours), you can get everything done.
With another permutation (relax first, meeting prep later) - you might be leaving the prep for the last minute.

There's some cases when the first permutation is better - when you have enough energy, say, and the meeting is important.

There's other cases when the second permutation is better - when, say, you're already low on energy and the meeting isn't that important - so you're prioritising relaxing.

There's more examples on the linked page[0]

An example of neither delayed gratification, nor priorities:

Permutation 1: Accusing someone of spewing non-sense, then understanding what they really meant.

Permutation 2: Understanding what they really meant, and then, if necessary, accusing them of spewing nonsense.

Permutation 2 as a habit leads to better outcomes. Mostly.

>> In general, intent matters

> Perhaps, but that difference is not given in the U.N. definition.

Yes, it is. The UN's 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines it explicitly with intent in mind:

"... genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group..."

A lot of the people being mentioned as abused aren't sex workers and do not want to be sex workers. They don't want to be paid for or involved in sex work.
I'm not experienced with thinkpad but I do have some laptops and desktop and in all of those suspension and hibernation works, require swap but even with zfs raid over luks layer with zil on pcie mounted optane on old ubuntu 18.04 things worked.. but i agree that on some hardware linux sometimes need patience :( hope that will change.. but probably to change linux need more love from desktop users ..
The Perlin noise is generating a scalar field in this case (which gives the direction of the movement vector at each point). Here's a very similar bit of code that can be tweaked easily: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/494102/

Setting the particle speed to more than about 0.5 (on line 46) results in "aberrations". The dynamics are quite interesting and I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I think wetmore's answer is correct—when the steps are small enough, everything remains as smooth as the underlying scalar field produced by Perlin noise.
Strong agree.

Plus I've seen more than a few efforts at multi-cloud that resulted in a strong dependency on all clouds vs the ability to switch between them. So not only do you not get to use cloud-specific services, you don't really get any benefit in terms of decoupling.
That's literally the actual title of the posting.

I've seen a number of similar postings here, with similar titles.

I agree that it doesn't necessarily convey the stated goal of the posting, but I wouldn't call it "clickbaity."
If you have unreacted lye in your soap you're going to have more problems than just stripping the seasoning off your pan.
Just to see if I understand, does this mean you might end up having dozens of libcurls?
Fair point; I see what you mean. It just seems like all it takes is just a few words, and the tone changes dramatically though the meaning remains the same.

I just see it a lot here and I pay (way too much) attention to the words/phrases people use, and that one bothers me especially for whatever reason.
For what it’s worth, I’ve only seen the odds of this go to non-zero once: it was the case two days or so ago. It’s back to zero in my mind now that Twitter banned him and martyred him. I think he probably is actually now a permanent fixture in our lives, afraid to say.
Is this post even about the macbook? Nix, homebrew, go, terraform, ... ?
I really thought that HN was a place where logical arguments were supposed to be conducted NOT unsubstantiated ad-hominem attacks. I really can't believe this comment is the top-rated one.
I only had to click 'allow device' because I had 2FA enabled on that account. For anyone who doesn't, that step is not required.
Protests and riots:

Lockdown protests - super spreader events or valid exercises of freedom of speech?

George Floyd protests - super spreader events or valid exercises of free speech?

Riots attacking federal court house in Portland - treason or valid exercise of free speech?

Riots attacking capitol building in washington, d.c. - fortunately, everyone seems to agree it's bad. Oh, but it's apparently a super spreader event...

Remind me which side is participating in bad faith?
More validation to keep using v2 addresses, which are human-readable.

I can't help but wonder how the v3 address decision came to be, because the addresses are completely un-friendly to humans, and un-passable without electronic means.
I’m sure you can see how patently absurd comparing a provider of liquid essential to human life to... Twitter is.
Yeah, that was a really great book. Also has a well-produced narration available on Audible that I listened to. I recommend it.
There are some other examples of protected classes that don't fit this profile. Religion/creed for one. But also the speech of labor organizers in the workplace is protected, but being a labor organizer is not "hard coded".
I love this book. Listened to it 4-5 times. Lots of really practical application
I believe that is exactly how it was discovered as a potential treatment for Covid-19.
Sounds awesome! Can you share what type of laptop are you using?
Honestly, I stopped believing the media reporting of Trump once I listened to the full audio of his speech about the awful events in Charlottesville. Literally immediately after the 'both sides' soundbite he goes on to explicitly denounce nazis, and yet the media censored that, to make it appear as if he were defending them. It's so blatant, it's insane.

Like I've said before around here, in 2016, I couldn't stand the man, but the way the media treats him, I find myself rooting for him. Every problem about Trump is their own creation.
I think it's basically hit all of those but p2p?
Few seem to care enough about the abuse that exists in Hollywood and in tech, so why the hullabaloo over sex work? Oh, yeah - sexism against women because they're not supposed to be sexual.
what macos big sur essentially is:

chrome first (safari)
play store apps (catalyst for ios apps)
linux apps (unix apps homebrew)

a lot of folks arent familiar with how identical these software stacks have become over the last few years. especially with apples quality control dropping so steeply to allowing Catalyst apps to be something they mention on stage despite their sorry state as somehow more broken than android apps on chromeos
This misses some historical context around credit cards and online pornography companies where credit card companies basically just refuse to be allowed to be used for online porn, primarily around chargebacks.

If they’ve found an excuse to not need to work with PornHub, they could easily retain that for perpetuity because credit card companies don’t like being associated with the porn industry.

I’ll be surprised if PornHub ends up working directly with the major credit cards again.
Companies censoring Parler is completely OK, it's the closed monopolies they have created that is the problem.

If network effect information monopolies would not be allowed, then corporation censorship would not be a problem. These monopolies can be broken by mandatory federation and open API's. (EU legislation is moving towards that direction).
Mr Hancock, a former culture secretary, told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show.

I don’t know if there was much interpretation. It broke down the science well enough or at least offered theories.

Having some good success and failure I am willing to try a few ideas in the article.

One variation a YouTuber offered was to heat the oil in the pan on the stove and then wipe the excess.

So far I have duplicated a lot of points in the article with different success ratios. I do agree a long smoke rate, upside down and long cooling period is ideal.

I use the grill so I don’t worry about the smoke generation.

More or less I’ve used this on the last successful project, but with corn oil. I went with a hybrid seasoning oil recently and I’m not impressed. I’ll try flax next.
Same here in Europe. I don't believe it's possible to have unions (or governments) that work for the individual.
I “think” that’s a false equivalency because democracy is the government and private companies are something different.

If you are a programmer and a fan of terminal UIs you can give Joplin a try. been using it for 3 months daily with dropbox. its really good.
I've been using linux based operating systems for 20+ years and I decided to give NixOS a try recently. I had read the install was "difficult" but I found it very straightforward.

The configuration system very easy to understand and work with. I think this is actually the perfect distro for a "one off" home server because configuration management is built in so it is easy to rebuild my server from the backup of a single file.
I haven't tried, I make things, not destroy other people's things.
One of the things I've struggled with implementing these life skills is dealing with the cost of failure/trying new things. Both as a monetary cost (switching degrees, studying "non-essential" humanities topics like philosophy), and the cost that we are mortal, and there's only so much time to explore, develop taste, etc.

Can someone please offer me a counterpoint, or counter-perspective?
Ah yes I always see cheap food packaging that says “gourmet” or some other obviously unfitting epithet. Words printed on packaging are free and somehow folks who market cheap foods think stuff like that helps.
Yeah, I thought so.

Why don't you show us where you get your alternative facts from? Can it be you're afraid, because deep down you know it's wrong?
If you want to distributed stable shared libraries, you write to the C ABI, not the C++ ABI.

Likewise Rust users should write to the C ABI for stabled shared libraries. (I believe there are a bunch of mechanisms to do that, though I'm not really a Rust user)

For example look at what KDE does: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issu...

Yes, you have to do a lot of extra work. That's working as intended.

It's sort of an oxymoron to expect to use every C++ or Rust feature in your user-facing ABI and have it be stable. They are incredibly rich languages, with drastically different notions of "function" than C has (let alone other constructs like data layout)
Just confirming: By "right side," you mean _my_ right when looking at the computer? "Left side" is the side closer to the Esc key?
What kind of analogy is that? Tweets vs. water?

Also, yes, you would not be provided water/electricity/cable/internet/pudding if you broke their terms of service. Apart from not paying your bill and perhaps willful destruction of their equipment, I'm having a hard time trying to come up with how else one breaks the terms of service for utility services. That sounds completely normal to me.

Additionally, people do go without certain utilities in times of economic hardship - this is nothing new. We're not guaranteed access any such services.
Such standardized specifications are typically a response to many divergent implementations existing and a need to standardize a common ground between them.

Few languages find such specification before that time.

Python also lacks it despite some competing implementations, since none actually diverge enough from CPython.
Does that mean an alternative solution would allow inciting violence?
But burns much easier, even a slight deorbit maneuver might be enough to burn it - and it's much easier to ensure it doesn't fall on someone's head.

>If internet service providers can shut down speech they disagree with, by going after the servers, then we're no longer living in a democracy.

You present this as if Parler is being shut down because people there have the wrong opinion on tax rates.

People on Parler are planning violent fascist overthrow of government, which is illegal. Why would Amazon be obligated to host sites that cater to terrorists?
> Safe? From what?

Ridicule, for one thing. A very prominent Republican leader has quite literally called President Trump "the Worst President Ever". I wouldn't be surprised if many others in the party were to follow suit with this assessment.
As a programmer I usually try to implement some of the algorithms in language of my choice and throw them at some toy problems (it's good there is no shortage of interesting toy problems in this field). It was really fun with Artificial Intelligence: Modern Approach book (ex: implementing a SAT solver from scratch and solving Minesweeper by pure logic is very satisfying).
There was a documentary earlier this year about how many underaged people were selling on Onlyfans.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/5e7dad06-c48d-4509-b3...

But there's a dark side: the documentary found evidence of the age verification process being circumvented, meaning under-18s were able to illegally sell explicit content of themselves on the site.
Learn to appreciate a pragmatic, zero-based paradigm and realize that to all intents and purposes the present decade began one year ago.

Blog spam for cast iron cookware periodically appears here and on other forums. Following you will encounter (if you continue here) a seemingly-endless thread of posts from
people claiming to have "no problem" with their cast-iron cookware (e.g., "Just rustled up a dozen eggs for my family using my granny's cast-iron skillet from Custer's cooking wagon at Little Big Horn. Wipes clean with a washrag!"). Best to ignore them. This posting pattern will repeat about twice each year.

Buy a cheap teflon skillet at your local store. When it becomes worn and no longer operates flawlessly then buy a new one. Never pay $17 for 17 oz. of "flaxseed oil" that becomes rancid two months later. Save hours of time cooking and cleaning!

Best of all, avoid buying a cast-iron boat anchor that you will endlessly try to "season". "Try" is all you'll do, b/c nobody knows really what a "properly seasoned* cast-iron pan is (i.e., there is no science here, folks). If you own cast-iron cookware, throw it away and move into the 21st century: get teflon pans.

Cast-iron cookware is a sucker's purchase suitable for only one scenario: old cowboy movies depicting cattle drives.

Noted, I was starting to submit way too much as a part of an experiment. That experiment failed miserably (and led to a shitlist addition).

I don't submit things more than 4x now. What you see are the remnants of the experiment.

At the same time, I don't think things make it to the front-page if they're bad.

This is a bit of a side step to the article, but I recommend anyone who wants to really learn low level programming try to write a simple piece of software for the NES. The 6502 is well known, how the NES operates is likewise well known. Is not easy by any means, but I found it to be very rewarding and instructional to how computers work. Alternatively, following Ben Eater’s 6502 computer videos is likewise instructional.

I admit this may have had the effect on me because the NES had a special place in my childhood.
To be fair, none of these issues seem to be related to the M1 hardware, but to some issues and choices made with Big Sur.
I'm willing to revise my take on the "big tech takedown" when someone explains to me how a random member of the American public can pay a pornographic performer/model without using Visa/Mastercard and in less than 24 hours.

If there were no alternatives to Twitter, Android, iOS and AWS then I'd be as unhappy about that as I am about Visa/Mastercard's decision here.

However, it's my judgement that there are alternatives to these technology platforms to do what recently became less easy for some people to do. I don't believe there are any viable alternatives for payment processing.

Show me how I'm wrong.
I thought it goes without saying but let me expand on my post.

Cheap / Affordable, Semi / Fully Managed, High Spec ( CPU / Memory ), Connection Speed ( Latency and Bandwidth ), Data Allowance ( Actual Data you could use for your port ), Server / DC reliability, Support, Side Features ( Managed DB, DDoS, Backup Storage, CDN etc.. ), etc

Pick a few, but no host in the world is going to offer all of them. Generally speaking good Connection / route around the world are exceptionally expensive. So if that was a consideration in the first place ( Which the OP never mentioned and I assume it is not important ) you should not be looking for anything that looks "cheap".

Few years ago I thought OVH could have a shot at it, but it becomes increasingly clear they dont have much of that ambition or direction. Hetzner is even more conservatives and only wants to operate in Europe.
I would "start to have a point", really? I will try harder next time.
