The easiest way to reinstall <strike>iOS Big Sur</strike>macOS on M1 Macs is to treat them as what they really are, glorified iOS devices, and DFU restore the operating system from another Mac with Apple Configurator or similar tools (macOS is downloaded as an .ipsw file and deployed on the M1 Mac). Works like a charm and is quite fast and guaranteed (barring bootrom/physical hacks) to ensure the device is not running non-Apple software.

P.S. T2 Macs are actually the most difficult to restore to the latest OS sometimes. The installer is anal about asking local password, booting from external USB, etc. and you might end up having to go through internet restore once and then upgrade the OS. M1 is actually an improvement and simplification from clean OS install perspective.
Assuming you have already landed a first job and are starting out working in the industry. If you don't have a first job yet, ignore this. :-)

A few technical ones that come to mind:

- Try out different programming languages. This enriches your toolbox and can make you see programming in a new way. You can't know if e.g Python is a great language when you have nothing to compare it to.

- Get familiar with a cloud provider's offerings. Doesn't really matter which one since they are comparable, although I'd pick either Azure or AWS, these cover most of the market.

- Get familiar with the debugging tools.

- Learn VCS. Sounds obvious but if my experience is anything to go by, far from everyone is comfortable with git.

And some non-technical bits of advice:

- Ask for help if you get stuck. If you're a junior, people expect you to get stuck at some point, don't be scared to ask for help. Better to just ask than to waste a few days.

- If you interact directly with customers, learn to speak _their_ language. Be able to explain technical things to a non-technical audience.

- Related to the above, practice soft skills. They don't come naturally, like any other skill you can practice them though.
Computer Prediction in 1974

Reality is all OS have issues, pros and cons.
Most people seem to be on board with Steam being their preferred distributor. Any alternatives are met with harsh vitriol- especially ones that are for distributing a a single companies property specifically. Such as EAs origin and Ubisoft’s uPlay (now called Ubisoft Connect).

This is common in the gaming community. Full disclosure: I used to work in the studio that developed and maintained uplay.

One of the games I worked on was an epic store exclusive (or, wouldn’t launch on steam) and it was met with harsh criticism for that. Many players outright said that they wouldn’t buy the game if it wasn’t on steam.

Judging by PC sales, they held true to their word.
If you're up on any kind of crypto, get out as well; when Tether goes, it will take down the rest of the market. Again.
What if Tether (the organization) has been buying buying Bitcoin, and for some reason Tether imploding doesn't cause a crash in BTC?

It's entirely possible Tether actually have collateral worth more than their claimed 1:1 peg NAV.

The 1:1 peg is arbitrary and since they don't allow direct redemptions they could easily pull a stunt like repricing it to $1.50
Why would they sell their bitcoin? I think that the most plausible explanation is that they're almost completely backed with bitcoin. In a bull trend, they're able to keep issuing more Tether because their collateral value increases. They can buy unlimited amount of bitcoin as long as the bull trend continues. In a down trend, they'll liquidate/sell the bitcoin.

While this may be amongst the long term goals, I don't think it's useful for military applications yet until laser com is fully online. Currently there is no sat to sat com, so there's is always ground station within sight of a sat. Unless SpaceX places a ground station near a conflict zone, military can't utilize it much yet.
> a wind turbine, manufactured using fossil fuels

This bit is true, though, and they are also erected and maintained using fossil fuels (among other things). That much should be obvious, and pretending that this insight is somehow a new or shocking idea is over the top pretentious.

There are people full time doing lifetime analyses on these things, and have been for several decades. This is engineering people doing engineering work. Anyone can read these reports and find out exactly where the break even points are.

This is taken into account when planning large infrastructure projects like wind power parks.
Further, their auditor, Friedman LLP, ran away in 2018. According to the evidence in the NYAG lawsuit, this was when Bitfinex had reached into the Tether kitty to borrow 26% of their assets, $850M. That'd make it hard to pass an audit when your website says 1:1 backed with real physical dollars.

Few fun facts, ready?

- At that point Bitfinex and Tether were pretending not to know eachother.

- The Paradise Papers revealed they had the same owners.

- Bitfinex lost the $850M because they were banking with a money launderer, CryptoCapital, after getting shut out of literally every bank in the entire world.
I don't believe in this solution, and I have a few reasons for this:

1. this algorithm will be very complex. Corporations can detect when bots generate incoming traffic, it's a part of their business model: they do not take money from advertisers for bot views/clicks, for example. There's no such service as dry out competitor's ad budget because of that. Google does that very effectively, and it's not a simple patterns detection, it's about the complex behavioral analysis: how you (mis)click on stuff, how you move your mouse, you reaction time, your navigation flows, etc. Simple algorithms that just open new tabs and click a few links won't do it. Probably it is possible to write an algo that would learn from you and mimic your unique behavior; it should also have some crowdsourced mechanism of adequate behavioral patterns: you can't just google random vocabulary sequences and chaotically click on different stuff — this will be caught rather quickly. Given the complexity of this whole thing I think there's just no such party that can create this.

2. some actions cannot be faked. Your purchase history on Amazon, places you go with your mobile phone turned on (telco can track your geolocation), stuff you put out in public using your accounts (twitter, instagram, hn comments, etc.). It will still give out too much information.

3. resource overhead. The web is slow thanks to all the trackers and ads. This solution proposes to leave the trackers intact AND add some machine-generated masking activity, that will additionally slow the device. The majority of the world just won't accept this.

4. mobile. Afaik you just cannot do any this in iOS at all and can do this (to some extent) in Android. iOS doesn't have either browser extensions or any decent ways to automate actions. You will face another issue in Android (which is applicable to iOS as well): apps run in isolated sandboxes, so no outside code can intrude and do any stuff there. You won't be able to _simply_ allow the device do some fake searches on Booking.com while you sleep, for example (complex automations won't be adopted). And mobile is ~60% of internet traffic. If a solution does not work on mobile it won't solve the problem.

Btw, in my next article I will talk about why I think your theses on "I only need to obfuscate me" completely misses the point. It's already published in Russian, so stay tuned for the translation :)

Long story short, since we're all are not unique in any way (we're merely a combination of different popular behaviors that can easily be predicted given enough data), then if the solution is not adopted by the majority of the population, the solution will not solve the problem.
Yes, but on the other hand most proponents of zsh have installed ohmyzsh and a dozen plugins. (Just like a lot of long-time users have a long .bashrc.)
Yeah, that's what I'm not getting here. If you had infinite inflation you'd only lose 100%.
The Stack Fallacy (2016)
Stack Fallacy - it seems it's easier to innovate up the stack, because you know the building blocks, because you own them (e.g. Apple doing apps). But it's actually easier to innovate down the stack, because you know the customer needs, because you are the customer (e.g. Apple doing chips).
If your bar is "I want to do X, let's start by reading the Arch Wiki", then sure.

If your bar is "It just works", then for me at least, if it takes me more than 1 minute I'd describe it as painful. My mother would describe anything that's not immediately obvious as painful.
> No way I reinstall and do all the thing Apple suggests with another Mac with Apple Configurator.

When the resolution means that you need another Mac at hand it is not merely annoying if you don't.
If they increase the unit cost rather than the base rate, then there's still an incentive to conserve. It just means that the people who didn't conserve water initially are now paying more. To get back to the same price they need to conserve water.

That's exactly the behaviour we (society) want - overall, water is conserved.

Increasing the base rate (making water a fixed cost regardless of usage) has the opposite effect. That was clearly a mistake on the part of the water company.
Your threshold is probably way higher than the average Macbook user that probably does not even know about the recovery mode.
It's worth what the market thinks it's worth, like every crypto out there. And the lack of seriousness is working. There's still a lot of people who bought a ton of doge and are seeing their investment's value increase tenfold, with the potential of a lot more though, which will make them greedy and try and pump the value up via memes.

It stopped being a joke coin when you could start trading it for fiat.
But do you see any practical scenario where you have to keep 3TB of parameters in accelerator's RAM at inference time?

The accuracy would have to be significantly higher that any alternative to justify monopolizing that many hardware resources.
Writing 1 GB of zeros is also almost instantaneous. Even though it's overkill, writing 1 GB is hardly worth worrying about. Though I'd recommend also wiping the backup GPT at the end of the drive.
I have an Unicomp but right now use a Pok3r to save desk space. Both are fine mechanical keyboards. I like the programmability of the Pok3r.

Unfortunately, I've realized that I really want a tenkeyless. The Unicomp is too large and the Pok3r too small. Does anybody know an affordable mechanical tenkeyless where Capslock and Ctrl is or can be switched in the hardware?
I made a silly mistake: Current wind output was below 15% of installed capacity, not 7%. It's picked up a bit now, and is about 21%. Still far, far below nuclear and fossil generation.
I really hope this is true, always nice to hear about the robbing happening in the opposite direction.
It’s because a lot of people are financially insulated from a lot of these costs due to good coverage.

You hear about the horror stories but for a lot of Americans (not all) they have sense as to the cost of a drug beyond the $25 or $50 co-pay each month.

Hint: the pharmacy makes more money if they bill through your insurance versus GoodRx
Repeated and sustained interest in explicitly racist fringe ideologues, because "what if there's gold there"? Weary dismissals of "ugh, gender"? Complaints about perceived wretchedness of contemporary art? Anxieties about criminality as a missed harbinger of social catastrophe? Openness to ideas about some kind of across-the-board cultural decay or loss of vigor? Paranoia about being persecuted for the intellectual courage to examine dangerous, yet important ideas?

I mean, this is aggrieved doomsday conservatism in its full, florid form. All that's missing is some outbursts about the ivory tower being packed with radical liberals. And I'm sure I could find plenty of "discussion" of that pivotal issue, with extended citations from other intellectual figures in this "sphere," if I went looking for it in SSC archives.
I have seen and driven recent BMW, latest VW (ID.3) and OpenPilot on Toyota RAV4 was giving me a much better experience in both lane keeping and as a product (driver monitoring, communication with the driver, overall UI and UX). BMW, VW score by having maps data integrated, that allows them to adjust speed for curves and traffic signs. However, it is not directly related to what comma is doing right now, so I am taking it out of the equation.
Moreover, I think adding map data is just a matter of time for Comma.ai and I can imagine that adjusting speed in before entering a steep curve will be much better solved with vision, which seems also to be on Comma's roadmap.

"Ask for help if you get stuck" absolutely right! But write down the answer for later reference, try (with the strongest possible effort) not to ask the same question twice. Or if you have to, you can also point to the previous solution and short addressing why/that this solution is not working anymore.

Does not exist in Germany either. Most of our regular mail delivery is done by foot or bicycle, except in very sparse rural areas. And our mailboxes have locks anyway. So it's either the post office or a street mail drop-off box/pillar box. Nobody I know does regularly post letters anyway, it's more in the range of 1-2 letters a year if even that.
It is still bad advice, zero filling an SSD is not nearly the same as erasing it due to the presence of large (up to 10% or more of the drive) overprovisioning areas present in all devices, ignoring the permanent wear zero-filling the drive also causes, and the fact the controller believes real data remains stored, placing restrictions on its ability to perform internal maintenance
well then we are back in the database, so basically it is a session again.

What annoys me is that demos are not really solid proof. You may write something functional but full of yet to find bugs and bad style, perf issues.. where do you stop, how polished and solid should a portfolio be ?

I'm not so sure you can find as many groundbreaking, experimental movies at the forefront of film in 2017-2020. Movies like La Notte or Hiroshima Mon Amour or Winter Light just wouldn't get distribution these days. Don't get me wrong—I agree that there's plenty of wonderful films made in the last three years. But in the 60's and 70's film was willing to be as risky and innovative and beautiful as the finest novels. I'm not sure that's true today
That was really, really old data lol.

That was from when they had about $3B in market cap. Today they have $33B in market cap. What a difference a year or two makes! In fact, they printed in the last week the entire market cap they had when that statement was made, in $1B USDT increments.

That figure comes from the time when Bitfinex reached into the Tether kitty and snagged $850M (leaving an IOU) to make up for the money seized by world governments as being the proceeds of money laundering. That happened when their money launderer, CryptoCapital, got shut down.

CryptoCapital was run by former NFL player Reginald Fowler [1] whose lawyers just withdrew from his case because he's broke.

Luckily Tether has since moved on, and they bank with Deltec in the Bahamas, whose chairman is the guy who created inspector fucking gadget. [2]

I'm not sure 5% is all that far off, given the 33 billion USD they're supposed to have is more than the entire Bahamian banking system has on deposit in USD according to regulators. By like, a lot.

I rather liked Fish's zero config approach but I found their handling of the PATH very hard to work with day to day. Perhaps it was just my familiarity with having a bunch of statements to alter the PATH in a config file but it felt very opaque, I always had to look up how to add stuff to the PATH and I had great trouble trying to remove stuff from the PATH.
And that's why I prefer the closed system Apple provides (even though I might pay the 30% premium publishers forward to their users): Being able to cancel any subscription the same effortless way and seeing clearly when it will renew and what I will pay.

Look through my comments and you'll find I'm not some "the free market will magically solve all our problems" ideologue. Monopolies / monopsonies are a thing, and both workers and consumers need to be protected from them. Your attitude would make sense if there were no other smartphones around, and it was "buy an iPhone or go without".

But there are plenty of good smartphones with alternate business models. If you don't like the fact that your apps are more expensive because Apple charges a 30% commission, then buy an Android and install a third-party app store.

I really don't understand the attitude.

You do realise if you get this wrong, you can't simply 'replace' the SSD on an Apple Silicon based Mac? You'll likely brick the device if the recovery partition is also wiped in the process.

It's back to the Apple Store for you.

Red states in the US don’t follow laissez-Faire economics. They follow race to the bottom and beggar thy neighbor economics.

Essentially, they are willing to burn all sorts of rules and regulations in order to beat a neighboring state to attract businesses and individuals. They then make up for this loss by drawing federal dollars that are usually paid for by people and companies in those same states they drew people and businesses away from.

But they are absolutely willing to regulate where it helps them individually even if it is against purported principles.

And then, of course, there’s the annual hypocrisy where red state senators will decry any funding towards blue states (for example, emergency funding to California for fire disasters) but jump right into demanding as much money as they can get when there are disasters in their states.

Texas’s energy supply bounties hides this there but it’s evident all over the remaining red states.

We are talking about games though. And it is the case for games on Nintendo. For Playstation. Xbox. I don't see a category difference here. A producer should decide what kind of product they want to make and the market will decide if it is bought.

> Your job is to deal with customer requirements (i.e. listening to people), and translate those into code other engineers (communicating with people) need to maintain, on a priority/schedule your management (also people), create to deliver business value. This is a people business, whether you like it or not. Develop those skills.

This is really important. A lot of software engineers love to solve problems with a technical challenge. It can be more rewarding to understand the business side of things and be able to come up with cost effective solutions.

This also applies to operational processes. In some Saas companies the software is so difficult to operate that you need an army of technical consultant running custom queries and setting up ad-hoc cron jobs to keep the thing working. This happens because the dev team is focused on delivering quickly a feature and is not incentivized to work on admin tools or automated deployments. If you are able to streamline those operations everyone will love you.
