While I enjoyed OSX SL a lot, I believe this update was the one that modified Exposé/Mission Control to use a neat grid for every window, instead of shrinking all of them and keeping their relative size. This hampered the feature greatly for me, and am very glad they reverted it.

Exposé/Mission control + hot corners are what keep me sane re: window management.

But I with Apple would slow their releases and spend a whole release fixing bugs, since I feel like they're getting out of hand.

Because many exchanges are in no way capable of holding a banking relationship with a legitimate bank that transacts in USD.

edit: Perhaps that was overly snarky - the issue is that the US requires legitmate banks to take certain efforts to identify their customers (KYC), and prevent money laundering (AML). Meatspace banks aren't perfect in this regard either, but many crypto exchanges are either unable or unwilling to do this, or are already proven to be engaged in fraud or other financial crimes.
>She can’t cry foul the 0.1% of the time when the trade goes against her.

If you're a person completely devoid of empathy, yes that is a fine perspective.

We all know what happened here is that Texas politicians deregulated the power system in a way that allowed for people to be taken advantage of. Your ire shouldn't go towards this woman who is probably doing this as a last resort, but to the politicians who sold out a public utility and any investment in the electric grid for the public good so a few people could profit.
>Signing a contract for a utility shouldn't be equivalent to investing in a high risk financial instrument.

Why not? You willingly chose to expose yourself to it. You wanted to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller and got burned. It's the same whether you're doing it with stocks or commodities. To modify my original analogy a bit, it's like someone who was overleveraged in commodity futures (think corn, hog, and oil futures, all essential to survival), and got wiped out in a recession.
Btw, censorship in China is often misrepresented here in the western world... For example, we all "know" that Winnie the Pooh is banned...

The reality is a bit different:

https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/133971634103760076...

https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/134857871356311961...

I think that it boils down to: if you're obviously making fun of an head of state (i.e. you have a meme/image with both Winnie and Xi Jinping) it's going to be recognized as such, and taken down... But Winnie by itself (or the memes in foreign contexts) aren't really at risk of getting banned.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-china-blog-40627855

It actually reminds me of something that happened in Italy 15 years ago:

https://www.repubblica.it/2006/11/sezioni/esteri/benedettoxv...

The police entered the newsroom of the Manifesto, from which a bunch of leaflets had been thrown. On it you could read "Pastore Tedesco", referring to the German Pope (a wordplay on him being a pastor, and the German Sheperd dog breed)

Authorities can seem really thin-skinned, given that in both cases it's an almost innocuous comparison that is being teased (to a cartoon bear, or a dog breed)... But given that these were targeted to an head of state, it's not too surprising.

Obviously, censorship is not only about memes...
Pardon me. I have 256GB model. While I used it daily for almost 2 months now it's still sounds crazy to have 25TBW for my usage. I didn't used it for any programming or compilation, no brew package builds either. All I did is used Firefox, downloaded like 30GB of torrents and then watched some Netflix. Also I haven't even moved any of my files to this laptop: so no photo archive, no email sync or dropbox, literaly no usage.

All I can hope for is that it's some kind of bug in SMART or might be Apple gonna fix it soon. Since I use my Kubuntu desktop with Samsung 850 PRO 256GB way more heavily and I barely got to 30TBW in like 4 years.
First get 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars and if you remain interested in observation, move onto an 8 inch dob reflector as your first telescope. I got the Zhumell Z8 for $400 years ago when it considered to be the best deal around, but it might not be sold anymore. The usual options would be from Orion, Apertura, Sky-Watcher, Explore Scientific, etc. for $400-550.
Gotta watch out for that Maxwell brand heat pump.
Look at their home page. The emphasis is on paying wholesale meaning no markup.

The word "risk" does not appear on the front page.

There's a hidden tab where they downplay the risk of spikes by saying $1 happens less than < 0.1% of the time and there's no bucket near the $9 that it cost last week.
At this point I don't even update the OS from what the machine comes with beyond security updates. It seems like in the last decade there hasn't been a lot worth upgrading for in terms of user experience, since they invented spaces (and subsequently made it worse by switching from a perfectly good multidirectional grid of desktops to a bidirectional selection that takes more time to use). Usually something ends up more annoying or worse in subsequent updates.

A shame really, I used to look forward to OS X releases. Now I almost dread them knowing future hardware will be saddled to that OS.
I think it would be a good thing to do so since then we have much more motivation to protect Taiwan at all costs. China trying to roll over Taiwan would be akin to attacking us.

> Most people in Shenzhen were extremely happy they were in Shenzhen where you could walk around freely instead of "free" Hong Kong where you had to be in fear of idiot high school students throwing Molotov cocktails and beating up anyone who spoke Mandarin.

In a related matter, I wonder why mainland China came down so aggressively on Hong Kong's autonomy. Was the legal system in Hong Kong so lax that it was impossible to punish severely the main organizers of the illegal demonstrations? Why was the Hong Kong government so incapable of stopping the violence, but the mainland intervention so effective? I'm surprised China chose to abandon its international commitments and make it much harder to get Taiwan to agree with a similar or even more favorable arrangement.
Yes, if you can not run the real thing locally you should not be touching a production system at all.

I worked in so many places where nobody knew how the system worked and the most invaluable thing I do is to bring the production system into localhost.

It pays off real quick and people get amazed how fast I can solve long standing issues in the system by using tcpdump and co.

Have you considered that a lot of the people who take the flexible pricing do it because they couldn’t afford fixed pricing and they had literally no other option?
Solar Winds was a very interesting game. I also remember it specifically for a planet called "Ilac" which produced medicine. Ilac means medicine in Turkish.
Am chinese National. Personally I think it's a double edged sword. It's basically protectionism but for information.

On one hand censorship hinders internal transparency and makes it difficult to hold the government accountable. On the other hand information warfare is a thing, especially between geopolitical rivals, censorship is a cheap way to mitigate against them.

For what it's worth, there are increasing voices within the chinese government that are advocating for removing the great firewall because the new generation of chinese are more and more confident with their own political system.

GameStop's margins are awful, and no amount of hypey releases will save them. Their website is still garbage. This is a flailing has-been physical retail business, propped up by Microsoft and Sony who see it as a billboard.
Write software for another 10 years and I bet your opinion will switch. Nits don't produce substantial value to the business or the code base. Add some decent automated tooling and be done with it.

That being said, I would have agreed with you years ago.
But many Chinese speak English because they deal with international trade. So this doesn't really work the same both ways.

You seem to be trying to make the case that YC offers some sort of unique lift to that of other firms and I don't agree, they gate on the same criteria as everyone else.

I like modern computers and find them quite amazing and useful, but if the truth be told vintage computers (from micros to minis to mainframes) hold equal if not greater fascination and fun for me.

Even beyond some imagined nostalgia for a bygone era that probably never was, there seems to be much to love about these pioneering machines in spite of – and perhaps because of – their quirkiness and extreme limitations.
I'm not sure how the type annotations can help with optimization (although I could be missing something, and would be glad of an explanation). But, as I explain briefly in the article, they can warn you if you accidentally declare an array of objects rather than primitive types, which would kill performance.
I miss the Snow Leopard 10.6 design dearly.

When I updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion, I gained Messages (iMessage desktop) and Notes, but I lost Web Sharing. Now I have to install Apache myself, and it often breaks when I update the OS.

I updated to 10.9 when I got a 2014 Retina 15" MBP. Then I lost the ability to sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks to my iPhone over USB (I don't use iCloud). iTunes 11 broke the browser view, so I still downgrade to iTunes 10.6.3 (even on Mac OS 10.13).

I updated to El Capitan 10.11 when I upgraded my SSD from 512GB to a 2TB SSPOLARIS. That's when the redesigned Finder really hit me, and I've never been comfortable with it. There's a lag when creating a new folder and typing the name, which often means I get "untitled folder" and start navigating to another folder. The redesign of iCal pushed me towards an old version of BusyCal, and I have to use a locally-hosted calendar server. I lost Calendar USB sync to my iPhone.

I needed High Sierra 10.13 when I upgraded my SSD again to a 4TB Sabrent Rocket, to use the NVME driver. It was quite some effort to avoid using APFS. I want to be able to mount my SSD over Target Disk Mode if/when things go wrong.

As far as I know, the latest versions of Music (no longer iTunes) don't even support syncing apps. I also heard some bad things about Time Machine.

The main reasons I like Mac + iPhone are:

Mac: MagSafe, AppleScript, Office

Both: iSync USB, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Music, Bookmarks, Photos, Wiki2Touch, Skype

iPhone: MyWi, Re-restore, Jailbreak, PHP/lighttpd

The things I lack on iPhone are: SD card reader, USB host with drivers (mount someone else's phone), Removable battery (but Third Rail case is good). No Android phone has tried to address these, and most have obscenely large screens (I like the 3.5" on my iPhone 4S).

I've had to use Windows 10 at work for the last month, but it's unpleasant. Put a folder in the Recycle Bin and want to recover one file? Nope, you have to restore the whole folder, copy out that file, and delete it again. Scrolling Excel on a Dell Precision 7550? The screen glitches out with black bars. Type accented characters like é? Only with charmap.exe, slowly. Safely remove USB? Multiple presses. I made a lot of AutoHotKey scripts, but it's a struggle. So I'm not changing to Windows any time soon, but I'm disappointed in the way Apple has gone, and wish that Linux might one day catch up to Snow Leopard levels of usability and design.
There's little benefit to squashing down a year's worth of work into 5 commits because you can just as easily tag each of those 5 commits with a version number, give it a little write up, and call it a release.

I think the reason to squash commits is to cut out the noisy bits that were only useful to the original developer that day and create a timeline that's helpful for future readers. It doesn't really make sense to get more granular than the level of a single commit with a good comment and a small set of cohesive changes. So you store your history at that granular level and you can take care of the rest with tags, minor and major versions, etc.
The biggest society wide actualized impacts of crypto have been:

1) Ransomware

2) Electricity usage

3) International reserve currency for bad actors such as North Korea, terrorist cells, and drug cartels.

I don’t see any of these three as a positive; certainly not the greatest financial innovation of all time. I also don’t see other use cases having the size of these three. (Ignoring speculative investment as a use case)
> I've always admired how much the general population defends freedom of speech in the US.

I remember talking to a former coworker who had taken (or maybe taught) LL.M. classes at a law school with lawyers from all around the world (who were learning more about U.S. law as a form of continuing education). She said that she initially assumed that the foreign lawyers would be jealous of the U.S. first amendment (because the U.S. had succeeded in winning so much autonomy against the state, or against tyrannies of the majority), which is certainly the way many Americans would have learned to think about it growing up.

However, she found that most of the foreign lawyers were actually disturbed by or skeptical toward the first amendment, because they thought that some aspects of expression and communication were pretty dangerous and that it was an important function of the state to suppress or punish them.

As an American free speech activist, I was also extremely surprised by this!

One thing that's tricky is that there are several different reasons why people might be proud of or aspire to protecting speech, including:

- Free speech is a sign that your society is strong, peaceful, or successful, because it doesn't need to suppress subcultures or ideas by force. That suggests that the society is built, if not on consent, at least not on hiding something or getting people to pretend that they agree with things they don't. Conversely, censorship is a sign of weakness or fear, or an admission or clue that something is being covered up and people aren't being given a chance to investigate or think for themselves.

- Free speech is a human right that shows that you respect people's autonomy and conscience.

- Free speech is a mark of humility that shows that you accept for some purposes the possibility that you might be wrong or confused in ways that seem extremely unlikely or incomprehensible to you.

- Speech (and culture and belief) are areas of life that are not supposed to be regulated or controlled by the state (because they're too personal, they're too far from the things that states are really needed or appropriate for, or because they're used to define or understand the values and goals that people want the state to pursue in the first place).

- Free speech leads to good outcomes in some way (peace, understanding, progress, constructive deliberation, pluralism).

- Free speech prevents bad outcomes in some way (stagnation, totalitarianism, some abuses of power).

- Even though free speech might not always be that great, no state (or other entity) can be trusted to decide on the truth or the boundaries of acceptable discussion for everyone else.

Can we ask them not to do it somehow?
> My FIL is the hardest working person I know.

A landlord's wealth derives from being a middleman between the tenants and the property, not from the landlord's own labor. That wealth is quite literally the whole point of being a landlord in the first place; if the income from rent didn't significantly exceed the value of the labor your FIL performs as "maintenance", then why would he bother with dealing with all the headaches of property ownership if he could instead just be an employee of the tenants themselves (said tenants forming e.g. a housing cooperative)?

That is: there's nothing a landlord does that the tenants couldn't do themselves (whether directly or by hiring someone to do it on their behalf). It is therefore not labor alone that defines the relationship between a landlord and one's tenants. Your FIL may be "the hardest working person [you] know", but he's still a middleman in the ownership class.
I mean price gouging is a grey area of law. It’s dependent on there being an emergency and then the prickly question of what price is illegal vs just responding to supply/demand.

But I agree with you. This is going to be interesting. It should get dismissed but I have a feeling it won’t and that an overzealous judge will want to make a point about ERCOT.

This might be slightly off-topic, but I can't seem to find a direct solution.

I'm looking to build a complex dependency/timeline graph for a web of interconnected stories in a media franchise. Each story has a release date where it needs to appear, and an arbitrary list of dependencies for previous episodes/stories/interludes which would have a line drawn to that dependency. The end result would be a sort of hybrid digraph/timeline, enabling a reader to get the 'minimum path' to catch up to a certain story in the collection.

D3 looked promising, but there's no direct equivalent I can see in the examples. For those that are experienced with D3, is that sort of thing achievable? Should I be looking at D3 or something else?
It would look a bit more sincere if the anti-nuclear green party would not be the one talking warmly (in more than one sense) about using oil power plants as reserve energy and increasing the capacity for importing coal energy.

I am sure not all anti-nuclear green activists are like this, but its the reality in the here and now. This is why I started the conversation about those issues. Oil and coal is not the way forward, and since that is the proposed deal currently on the table on the renewable side then I reject it and look to someone who can offer a better deal.

I would be much more open to the anti-nuclear side if they clearly came out against the practice of using fossil fuels for grid stability and reserve.

> And even if you buy the card knowing that the hash rate is restricted, there are a myriad other uses that they can now arbitrarily restrict at their whim.

But this isn't about you being sold something, and then it being change later.

Instead, you are being sold something, knowing full well what software is available.

> Drivers are installed in the OS and are updated regularly while the hardware is in support.

I have misphrased things then. What I should have said, is that you are being sold these cards, and you know ahead of time, that it is only this software that is available.

That is very different from buying something, under the expectation that other software, that has already been released, can do certain things, and then that software changing.

You know full well what software is going to be available, and you voluntarily choose to buy it, given that knowledge.

That is extremely different than if I bought something, and was given software X, and then that software X turned into software Y later on.

Someone comes to you with an offer to buy avocados for far below standard rates, something like 2 cents per avocados on average. It comes with a catch, though: the rates differ from day to day depending on demand. This someone tells you that this is possible through the magic of wholesale pricing. So some days the avocados are 1 cent and other days the avocados spike up to 5 cents. One day you check, and due to an avocado shortage the avocados cost $500 each. Except you just made an order for a giant bowl of guacamole you were going to share with your friends while you watch the super bowl.

Can you sue the avocado provider for these rates? To me, it doesn't seem like it's out of the realm of reasonable given the money you've saved in the past through this provider.
