this is very ignorant.

the ability to leave work at work is a personality trait. the job, or type of job, has little to do with it.

software development is not some exceptionally difficult thing that tortures and haunts developers.
I think you're misunderstanding. The point isn't about the ability to infer objective truth from a dissembling source, nor about how to prove an objective lie from that source.

It's about cultivating an ability to detect when you are probably being lied to by an otherwise authoritative source. And it's something americans have traditionally been very bad at.

(Including, I have to be honest, you. In fact it was reported just last week that Trump was sicker than the public was informed and that his blood oxygen did indeed drop into the low 80's. Your desire to believe the authority figures you trust led you to buy the spin. But people with this kind of "Autoritarian Muscle Memory" described were clued in much earlier.)

What is the deal with PCs (for the most part) being stuck on pixel densities that were standard on machines fifteen years ago?!

(The 300+ ppi 4K XPS 13" being a notable exception - but even that is a configurable option and the default is an XPS with standard PC minecraft pixels.)
Jøtuls are fairly readily available in the US as well. When I wanted to put a small woodstove in a new sunroom a few years back, the local woodstove dealer recommended the small Jøtul over the equivalent Vermont Castings because they said it drew better.

I don’t know if this is a defense per se, but the reason they do this is to prevent app makers from using that to try and steer customers to out of band ways of subscribing.

I guess the analogy would be if a brand forbade a retailers from revealing their margins, so customers don’t go to secondary markets and potentially/almost-certainly have a worse experience. Like counterfeit products or just in general to be subjected to dark patterns.

As far as my personal opinion regarding this I am completely fine with it. I think they’ve created something remarkable in the sense that everyday people are starting to pay for software, because they’ve created a valuable ecosystem. Sometimes I think we forget that in the past everyday people wouldn’t really pay for digital products in the same way they’d pay for physical ones. The one thing I’d say though is that maybe the 30% is high, but given they have the small business program that argument is mostly gone.

Any way now I’m rambling but that’s my best attempt to honestly explain why they do that.

They really need to get rid of this.
The algorithm is tuned so that a block is mined about every 10min no matter what the hashing power available is. In the case of a serious and persistent network partition, both “sides” would continue to mine blocks at roughly the same rate as before, minus the first blocks that would take a while as the algorithm tried to catch up to the drastically reduced local hashing power.

The real issue is what happens once the partition is healed, and it’s not a technical problem. The technical solution is straightforward: longest chain wins. The real issue is a social one: how do you deal with finding out that the last N months worth of transactions are just gone?
Interestingly, they only mention vaccination in the second phase of the trial. It's not clear to me if this is misreported, or they're planning to expose unvaccinated healthy people to small amounts of the virus in phase 1.
This is a most excellent point. I will say that movement of scope, scheduling, and the like does change during all hours of the day, and calls to the home to talk about that are common after hours.
Oh wait perhaps I misunderstood. If you have $15,000 in shares pledged as collateral, and they appreciate, and the loan is not repaid, the lender gets the shares, or the shares are sold and the lender gets $15,000 out of the sale proceeds and the rest reverts to the owner?
Epic has asserted and proven that you don't need to take 30% to run an app store and approval pipeline. The incredible amount of profit generated by the iOS store is further evidence that the cut doesn't need to be 30%, as is Apple's sudden willingness to make exceptions for big companies like Amazon and temporarily offer 15% to small companies.

Neither the Epic Store or Steam on PC are built around selling your data. Epic's PC store charges 12% (and if you use Unreal, they waive the licensing fee for that engine too), and Steam has a special tiered tax for massive companies (something like 25% for 50m+ in revenue, 20% at some higher tier)
> The "correct" amount is the amount that everybody is happy to pay.

This is only valid in a free market with lots of competition and information transparency. The crux of the argument is that this does not apply to the app store ecosystem.
Remarkable Procrastination
Unicode is not quite the right place for the line, I think. Cypro-Minoan is text (but not currently part of unicode). ASCII art is not text.

Linearity is part of it. Source code and emoji and simple math expressions can be seen as a linear stream of "characters" (defined loosely), even on a fundamental level. An architectural plan could be transliterated into a linear form, but that would be a transformation.

Of course then you need to explain why audio doesn't count as text. Discreteness? Ease of faithful reproduction?
Such vendors are free to create game catalogs for their games (Steam-like), taking the user to the App Store for downloads. They can also have IAPs, Subscriptions and alls kinds of payment options. Apple's own Arcade follows this same architecture so I don't see Epic's argument at all.

When I am using my iPhone/iPad, I expect all apps to work with services connected to my Apple account. No user should be required to provide payment information to a shady 3rd party like Epic, Microsoft or whatever.

It is clear that the "antitrust" action is designed to allow Epic (and similar) to push a solution which is fit for their business model.

As a developer, I don't support the idea of alt-stores at all, it would mean that only big corps will have the resources to create and maintain such distribution channels. Nobody will go through the trouble of installing an alt store for my FooBar pet-project game. Also who is going to review these apps?
If the shit hits the fan and it relies on a people manager to fix the problem, I would say that the problem is more with the company not having the right mitigation plan in place for this catastrophic problems.
Housing is a normal economic market that is responsive to changes on both the demand and supply side. The major problem with housing in this country is that restrictive policies have put a damper on housing supply so that it is not able to keep up with demand. Seattle has a normal amount of vacancies in it. It could have 2X the housing (and thus have a lot more people living in Seattle paying lower rents) and still have the same percentage vacancy. It's not a real or valid argument to say "look there's more vacancies than homeless people, so supply must be fine".

I'm actually having a similar issue with my web app currently and I'm not sure what the best way to solve it would be.

This is where you ignore the email until the morning. The only place where working offhours has a use is in early startups where money is tight, deadlines are short, and products are loosely defined. If you're working at a well managed company managers will nip it in the bud. Either way I'm not in college and I'm getting my 6-8 hours of sleep. If I work late I arrive late and expect no argument over it.

I've only ever gotten an email like that because someone's ass was on the line for a 12am deadline. You only send an email like that because you are burning a personal favour.

First time all the features wouldn't fit. Forth re-write fit with room to spare. (factoring is easy in Forth)

New Hardware! Everything fit but batteries didn't last a full shift. :(

Agree 100%. There are a lot of amazing things you can do with modern computers. More possibilities than ever before. But if you're going to constrain yourself to "state of the art" front-end development, you're basically signing up for wizard school that involves constantly learning new arcane spells from an ever-changing line-up of frameworks that are endlessly re-inventing the wheel just so we can shoehorn everything into a browser DOM designed in the 90s. That little slice of computing is indeed "not fun anymore".

Arq 7: Lots More Power
Even if you include things like circuit diagrams as text I don't agree that you should always bet on text. Personally I think you should always pick text as a default, unless you have good reasons to chose something else and use text to elaborate on it.

Couple of examples:

- For a musician to convey a musical idea, the arguably most straight forward and effective way to do so is just to play/sing/record it. Any other means like musical notation, textual description, midi etc. require a lot of additional knowledge and work on both ends of the communication and come with their own drawbacks.

- The Wikipedia text about human rights in the article is a great example when written text is better than an image. But say I want to describe what the grand canyon looks like. Personally, I don't have the writing skills to really do it justice. On the other hand my phone has a camera so I can snap a couple of pictures that will get the other person a much better idea of how it is. In this case text is useful for additional information not visible in the image, like why the color of the rocks is how they are.

- If I'm living together with someone and want to discuss how to pain the walls, a pantone color swatch is going to be much more useful than textual description of the colors. Text is useful here after the decision to pass on the color code to the contractor.

- I reckon for most people it easier to follow instructions on how to cut up a chicken when they are in form of a video or image slide show over just written words.

I don't think the problem is whether text is better or not, but that often the choice of medium is not based on what makes most sense for the use case, but other considerations like what will yield better conversion numbers.
Those had an actual monopoly - literally no alternative service provider.
> software development is not some exceptionally difficult thing that tortures and haunts developers.

There's definitely a difference between white collar/knowledge work and manual labor or highly people-focused work, though. I've worked retail and food service before and the mental overhead is absolutely different. It took me a long time (years) to learn how to turn off my brain at 5pm and stop programming when I got my first tech job. Not something I had a problem with in more manual industries: when you're not at the workplace, you can't work, even if you wanted to.

In here it definitely is. It is more expensive for same amount of food and you have to go to sushi bar to get it. When you go to restaurant, then you don't get sushi. It is not something canteen would give you, ever.

Also, the "Sushi AGAIN" complain can be entitlement only is Sushi is something special where you live. If sushi is ordinary food, then it is no more entitled then "chicken wings again" - perfectly normal thing to overhear if your local cafeteria is giving chicken wings every other day.
It needs to be give and take on both sides, I went back to finish a presentation deck last night until 1am but I'll finish early in Friday or take time when it suits me and I don't have to tell my manager. One of the my direct reports took some time this morning to go do some person errands, didn't use vacation as he steps up when needed. He sent me a courtesy message to say he would be out for a few hours but it wasn't for approval. He gives when he needs to and he takes when he needs to and I trust him to manage that. But trust is needed and I've seen plenty of managers abuse people's goodwill, I can see why unions formalize that in a way.

Some of the chapters look a bit superficial. I have seen other books (with the same target audience) with deeper discussions on the impact of algorithmic/implementation choices on the accuracy of the results etc. Here, they sometimes just refer to a python function with the link to its documentation.

Initially the answer was simple, but the more traction it got I added some more details to it and kept it up to date over time.
> like the concept of biological races itself

There's a lot of misinformation about this, and it often conflates the debate about DNA diversity with a semantic debate about the word 'race'.

Leaving aside the notion of 'race', there is ample evidence of clusters humans with more shared DNA that broadly lines up with what humans usually perceive as 'race'. As evidence of that, you can do a genetic test and with high confidence predict what race the subject SELF-identifies as.

...but that 2nd part is less important than the recognition that there are clusters of humans with slightly different DNA. Irrespective of how they identify, these differences provide insight into the relative function of those different genes. These differences should be studied, but are not because the notion that there might be differences between humans risks reinforcing racist ideologies.

This is academia only researching the lowest common denominator of scientific good.

I enjoyed this article a lot (much like other articles by the OP). One aspect that made me smile is that they're impressed by how few processes are running when they run `ps x | wc -l` on their machine and see about 45 processes. I just checked my little NetBSD x230 here and it is running 19 processes out of the box, that is less than half.

I think that alone shows a good difference between FreeBSD and NetBSD in terms of the out-of-the-box experience. I'm not saying NetBSD is better, I like both systems, I'm just saying that they do have very different assumptions about what should be enabled and running by default.

Retroactively! It'd be one thing if it was up-front rejections, but the internet is full of horror stories from developers who suddenly found that Apple had decided their product was no longer okay and that their customers didn't matter, blocking future updates. Not even necessarily taking it off the store, just ensuring it can never get bug fixes.
Video rentals are already covered by an agreement that existed prior to the change in the Amazon app. The article you posted even mentions that Canal+ and other video services were already using this which is an option where you can allow purchases tied to an existing subscription payment method if you also allow for those purchases in the iTunes Store and integration into the Apple TV app.

It seems pretty complex to design a version of a lax unemployment policy that eliminates steep cliffs that might disincentivize working, is fair, and also doesn't let anybody slip through the cracks. How do you handle someone quitting voluntarily, or retiring early, or starting their own business which doesn't pay them yet, or only paying themselves a small amount, or working a part-time job on the side while focusing on something else, etc.

The income tax code already exists and has to solve some of these problems, so it seems easier to give everyone the money and then tax it back from the highest earners later (or implement it as a negative income tax, but that has its own hurdles as well, i.e. imagine a homeless person needing to wait until tax season and then getting paid for the whole year, it would be a big hurdle and they'd still need other assistance programs the rest of the year if they didn't budget the money well enough).

This is a pointless statement, does Epic have consumers back? LOL hardly. This lawsuit is about Epic cashing in on Apple's work. No one believes Apple the corp is the defender of the people. Apple is great on privacy compared to all the other options, not because they are good people (they may not be or they may be who knows?) but because it's in their best interest to be. This is about two corp's fighting over their right tomato more money off of you and I. People are casting Epic as for the consumer and it's ridiculous!
You're making a mental difference that's not an actual difference.

Suppose you have 100k, invest 20k of it in bitcoin and it doubles. You now have 40k bitcoin and 120k in total.

You could say, sell half the bitcoin, you now still have 100k in other assets and 20k in bitcoin. Even if you lose the entire 20k, you'll never lose more than what you put in.

But what does it matter? Fact is, you still lose 20k if bitcoin goes to zero. The fact you already made 20k on it doesn't change that fact.

The source of your wealth should not indicate whether a loss is good or bad, or bearable or unbearable. At the end of the day, a loss is a loss. All your wealth goes into one big pot, you can't say 'this part is from savings, this part is from bitcoin'. It's just money, and losing it sucks.

Of course there is something to be said about reducing your exposure to bitcoin as you grow richer and need to take less risky bets. But that's only great after the fact that bitcoin keeps going up in price. If bitcoin goes down in price, it's of course a poor idea to sell slowly instead of all at once. Again, a loss of $X is a loss of $X.

At the end of the day, virtually everyone holds bitcoin not for the actual value of e.g. owning a small portion of Apple which sells something hundreds of millions of people use daily, profits, which flows back to you. Instead virtually everyone holds it simply because others are, and by doing so together, it keeps going up in price. You could apply the same to any other (scarce) good. Like a useless but rare metal. Or indeed, a useless copy-paste of the bitcoin software, to start a new crypto. Bitcoin's price isn't because it's valuable, it's because of a common idea to buy it because it'll make us rich. And that idea cannot hold true on anything but faith. Humans are pretty crazy and so I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin goes to $200k within 2-3 years. But it's still an insane investment proposition to me. (coming from a person who held 100% of his net worth in bitcoin for 3 years or so, btw).
Yeah it is!!

LastPass stores our master password hashes as a SHA-256 bit key.

All I was quipping at, was the fact that the password you enter in length is a whopping 720 bits!

I find it funny that this bit length gets reduced to a hash which is only 256 bits in length.

Your password has more entropy than the hash that gets produced from it.
OBS Studio is available on FreeBSD for making recordings https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/obs-studio
What was stated is that BSD runs Linux binaries better than Linux, not better than BSD binaries.

Anyway, I seriously doubt this is the case. Almost every single high performance computer runs on Linux. Most servers run Linux. I'd say except from Netflix, FAANGS run Linux almost exclusively for their servers.

I have a hard time believing FreeBSD is better than linux in any meaningful way, more so given the humungous resources The Linux Foundation has.
