As time has gone on I’ve become a bit better about being too particular. I still sometimes point out nit picks, but critically I ask myself if I could live with what was there. If I could, then I put my approval on it and move on. If it’s something more critical, then I wait for a response, fix, or discussion about it. Seems to make the reviews easier and more worthwhile.
I don't really have time to engage on this right now. But SRS isn't magic. It's a performance optimization on flashcards.

If you set aside the particular subjects that I'm targeting right now (programming), what I'm doing could have been done 100 years ago. It should have been done 100 years ago.

The fact that it wasn't, speaks to the difficulty/challenge of the problem.
I actually like the look of Big Sur, but the bugs... oh god the bugs.

That new notification center looks real nice. Shame my first experience with it has been it repeatedly hanging, gobbling up RAM and CPU cycles, and generally not displaying notifications.

(Extra fun if it hangs while notifications are still on screen; then they just sit there forever. 'pkill NotificationCenter' has been my friend lately.)
Because that would make a civillian passenger transport indistinguishable from a recon asset.

You know what happens to recon assets that frequent hostile airspace, don't you? There are legitimate reasons to not build functionality into something.
It's not aliens IMO. More likely old military surveillance tech that is ready to be declassified.
New Yorkers haven't been allowed to trade on Bitfinex since 2017. That's when they updated their terms to discriminate against US entities. If US persons are illegally and fraudulently trading on Bitfinex, that does not give any US authority jurisdiction over Bitfinex. How grandiose.

That’s amazing, thanks. Somehow I had never stumbled upon this before.
Does it even have to be a secret aircraft? Unless the pilots have relevant qualification, it doesn't even necessarily look the way they described it, due to any number of physics factors.

That's why I said--I have no opinion as to what it is. Why leap to conclusions in either direction, which just gets subjective way too early?

If you're saying, "it's probably..." then that's your call, but being so subjective, the attractiveness of having reached an answer so fast could also prevent you from learning that it's something else. A.k.a blindspot.
UFOs in american english are a common colloquial term for aliens from mars (or other sci fi plots)

And if they don't exist, we'll just continue to make them up.
this should be feasible with D3. The way I understand it, is that you are trying to make node graph along a time series. So you basically just have one axis (date; usually plotted on the x-axis).

The way I would plot it is to have a long horizontal scroll along the x-axis where a series of nodes are scattered in the single date dimension. Hovering (or clicking) over this node would expand a list of dependencies into the second dimension (distance from the original node might represent time; perhaps in two columns, past [depends on] and future [depended by]). Clicking on one of these dependency nodes would scroll you smoothly where this dependency nodes reside on the main axis.

All of this is possible (and almost trivial) with D3. However you might need to be innovative in implementation as I don’t think there are easy examples for you to follow.
> I said that it needs to communicate the right information to both of you, not just to you and not just to them.

Right, but you see how it took multiple back and forwards to even clarify what you wanted to achieve?

The same goes with your original comment.

> "I find this variable name confusing. Can we change it to something more like X?"

You don't clarify why it's confusing, so I don't know your interpretation of what the variable represents. I need to first understand as to why you find this confusing, and how your new proposed naming will help to clarify.

> It sounds like you think you're likely to feel defensive about having created confusion for someone. Maybe focus less on defending and more on achieving clarity.

I do not, and it's pretty bad practice to assume this of people. This comes back to the whole nitpicking, to me it sounds like you were nitpicking on the naming. You didn't clarify your stance, or what caused you confusion. And leave it up to me to reach out to you to clarify this. This could've been communicated in your first PR comment, so that we didn't have to go through this dance.

Since this is a settlement, the court has nothing to say about it. It's entirely a private deal between the lawyers, who on one side are wholly failing to represent the plaintiffs.

Epic got off practically for free, and have probably already hired the nephews of the opposing lawyers.

Those lawyers should be disbarred.

A solution might be to require the lawyers to take payment in whatever the injured parties got. But since legislators are mostly lawyers, don't expect anything to be changed about this sort of cushy arrangement.

Another vote for Heroku. If you can get it running locally, you can get it running on Heroku. Their help docs are mostly helpful (not perfect), and if you’ve been able to get this far then you’ll have an easy time with it. The free tier has forced downtime, but I think the lowest non-free tier is only like $7/month.

Edit: also, if you find that you need other cloud offerings from AWS or Azure, you can combine it pretty easily. I did image upload to S3, for example, from a Heroku app.
If the person who wrote it didn't proofread it, then the content likely hasn't been thought through.
The last two paragraphs of the article is clearly talking about aliens.

> Former CIA Director John Brennan thinks there may be life on other planets too. December’s Covid-19 relief bill included a directive to the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to share what they know about UFOs within 6 months. People with the highest of security clearances think there’s something out there.

> ‘Something’ of course doesn’t necessarily mean extraterrestrial in origin, even though New Mexico is home to Roswell…
More like sixty-some; these tactics date at least back to McCarthy and the Unamerican Activities commitee.
I had a kernel panic on Sunday. It was the second day of owning my M1 MacBook Air. There was barely anything installed on the machine. The panic happened when I was running Firefox. The screen turned a weird color and instantly rebooted.
Besides the U.S. Navy videos, there's only one video (out of hundreds I've seen) that has me genuinely wondering if it might be real evidence of an advanced vehicle (aliens or not). It seems to match this American Airpline pilot's description in some ways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-91Nobn2xk

Anyone have any guesses?

Best guess I've seen was that it was a supply canister or drop tank. But it seems to pause in mid-air at 0:32, travel horizontally, and is over a civilian area where it seems unlikely that something would be dropped. It does look somewhat like a cruise missle but a lot slower.
I don’t see why you should be downvoted for linking to the thoughts of an undeniably brilliant, if controversial, public figure and leader in technology.

Not everyone does. There is even a thriving market for such kinds of user replaceable upgrade proving that more and more people were opting to do the upgrades from reliable third-parties than Apple.
Nobody asked.
Disinformation is bad, but this is of concern to me, the 1st Amendment is still the 1st Amendment; there si a good body of Laws that posed due limits to the 1st Amendment without compromising its spirit.

We should look at acts like this "letters" with more concern than disinformation itself.
Good for you. Do you use a 16yo laptop though? Because that is the topic here.
The downside is that is fuels a speculative mindset, not only among so-called investors in bitcoin but as a ripple effect throughout the economy. However great of an innovation bitcoin is in theory, in practice it could have unintended consequences you ought to consider.

Found this in the article. This is close enough to "aliens!" if added to an article about airline incidents.
At 37K feet, above the airplane, tracking really fast moving objects, in the direction the cockpit is facing, we are expecting a phone or a dash cam? C'mon
> Hearing of this UFO is pretty exciting, and it would be even more exciting to have actual photographs of it from official sources.

It would be, indeed.

There's probably a simple explanation for the fact that when the general public started carrying around high-quality camera equipment at all times, UFO/alien sightings went down and police brutality incidents started cropping up.
There’s an Air Force base in New Mexico. Could totally be something from there. Or aliens I don’t know
Your link seems to agree with me. From the facts for GA and PA:

"Furthermore, in an election conducted in the midst of a pandemic, each of the 159 counties was
required to balance the close presence of poll watchers to election workers against the
requirements for social distancing essential for the protection of public health."

"As Trump-appointed federal district court Judge Grimberg found, there is no legal “authority
providing for a right to unrestrained observation or monitoring of vote counting, recounting, or
auditing.”

"Second, there is no right under federal or state law for observers to stand at a particular distance or
have a particular view of ballots. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Third Circuit have rejected
such claims. As the Third Circuit noted: “The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that the Election Code
requires only that poll watchers be in the room, not that they be within any specific distance of the
ballots.” Id. (citing In re Canvassing Observation, No. 30 EAP 2020, 2020 WL 6737895, at *8-9 (Pa.
Nov. 17, 2020)). Similarly, there is no federal right protecting the location or view of observers. Id.
(noting that the Campaign “cites no federal authority regulating poll watchers or notice and cure.”). As
long as observers were allowed in the room, which they were, complaints about minor deviations in the
location and view of observers are legally insufficient.66"

In other words, the restrictions that were placed on observers were consistent with the law, and that is what the courts have ruled. I am willing to accept for the sake of argument that the restrictions were legal, but that's not the point. The point is that no one disputes that there were such restrictions. Nor do I see anyone disputing that the restrictions would have made it harder or impossible for election observers to detect fraud. The defense they put up is just that no fraud was detected, and that the restrictions were legal.

See: "The Trump Campaign and its surrogates have tried, unsuccessfully, to equate an alleged lack of
observer access with fraudulent results. There has been no credible evidence of significant voter fraud
presented in any form. The suggestion that the Trump Campaign and its surrogates were prevented
from detecting fraud, and that is tantamount to evidence that there must have been fraud, is absurd."

I don't think that suggestion is absurd at all, and neither do tens of millions of other Americans. Members of the Democrat party viciously, bitterly hate Trump, and everyone knows it. Why would we not suspect them of cheating, if they made it difficult or impossible for anyone to tell?
The way that "Unidentified Flying Object" and "Alien Spacecraft" have become synonymous is a remarkable pernicious evolution of language.

It's a strange thing - I don't think there's any conspiracy to create a cult, just a certain bias in the use of symbols makes "I couldn't explain what that was" become "intelligent creatures from other worlds created this effect".
Well I definitely have some mild environmental allergies (some cats & rabbits) but nothing life threatening. This somewhat reminds me of 23&me, except with some obvious potential quality of life improvements.

Snow Leopard doesn't need dark mode—I'm actually not sure what it would look like. The UI makes use of a wide array of tones, many of which are quite dark.

Finder's background is white by default, but you can change it to whatever color you want. TextEdit and iWork use white backgrounds because they're supposed to be printable. iWeb uses mostly dark backgrounds. Most other apps are mostly a neutral gray.

Dark mode is a bandaid to cover up the fact that modern macOS has too little contrast to begin with. You can make Mojave either too light or too dark, but both options suck.
As I said:

> Apple has reasons for soldering down components, reasons which I don't really agree with, but I don't think they're all that worried about a small percentage of people avoiding their upgrade prices.

I also would have agreed with OP 5 years ago. Working in a leadership capacity for a prolonged period has emphasised the human side of coding, that is working in a team and respecting your colleagues’ freedom to think independently. IMO it’s far more important to maintain a strong and happy-to-work team than a marginally more aligned-with-my-own-thinking codebase.
Is that 6 months up yet? I forgot to put that date into my calendar
That's the first thing I thought of when I heard about this. If the US was testing its drones, I think it would prefer to keep them in a restricted airspace. On the other hand, if I were a foreign power looking to flaunt my new drone tech, I'd take it over the area that seems to be rife with sensitive bases.

Still, it's most likely this is a US drone on a long range testing mission(or just flying off course due to a sw bug).
If you do something like this do NOT sign up for AWS or Google Cloud with your “main account” as a denied card can get your entire account lost.
A traditional invasion may happen but is unlikely. China is already flying military planes into Taiwan airspace regularly. The goal is to wear them down, create unsustainable costs, and expand its regional hegemony to the area whereby any/all conflict over Taiwan is strategically already won by China. They’ll likely wait them out or make it painful enough that people ask for it.
Implementations of Prolog was published in 1984; its contents predate the Warren Abstract Machine.

Pages 87-92 contain the article "The world's shortest Prolog interpreter?" by M. Nilsson of Uppsala University. The article describes and provides source code for a simple Lisp implementation of Prolog.
There's really not all that much to do in an airliner during the cruise phase. The computer's mostly in control.

An interesting approach to lossy compression.
It also seems to me there are a couple jumps in the initial tweets here (particularly the assumption of the same write rate on 256 GiB models as on 2 TiB models). But regarding several of the assumptions you mentioned here:

> (4) that they are directly comparable to non-M1 hardware without further processing

> (5) that they do not increment when Time Machine or other filesystem snapshots occur

> (6) that they do not increment when APFS copy-on-writes occur

> (7) that they do not include the total byte size of sparsely-modified files

smartmonctl is a tool that inspects the drive's built-in statistics about physical writes. If it shows significant jumps from snapshots, copy-on-write, and sparse files, it's because those feature aren't working as designed in minimizing physical writes.

I also find it unlikely that a bug in smartmonctl or IOKit would show incorrect but plausible-looking values. More likely in the SSD's firmware. But I'm not getting alarmed just yet. (I also don't own an M1 Mac, so that's easy for me to say.)
I think this is a slippery slope fallacy. Asking a media outlet the size of their audience is a common figure, something they include in every ad sales presentation. Its relevant to understand the reach of these messages, especially when they have direct ties to foreign adversaries such as in the case of OANN: https://www.thedailybeast.com/oan-trumps-new-favorite-channe... This is not a censorship dragnet, its a wide-ranging set of inquiries to a diverse set of media (keep scrolling if you just saw the AT&T letter) in response to an attempted insurrection.
Are there cruise missiles that operate at those altitudes? Seems like "sitting duck" height for a cruise missile.
Congrats on the launch. Best case scenario that it is widely adopted: what's stopping others from releasing a similar product? Why haven't they already?
In cruise at FL370, there’s plenty of free time.
“Modern C++” is very powerful, but also incredibly frustrating. Take std::variant/std::visit (sum types) for example.[0] Getting the value out is way more complicated than Rust. And if you mess up, expect an indecipherable multi-dozen line error message!

In addition to improving national security, with any luck this would have an effect of opening the door for stronger foreign policy against the CCP's human rights violations. It is so, so far past time the world stopped kissing the ring for the sake of our manufacturing dependency.
Either there's military activity that the military doesn't want to talk about, or extraterrestrials consider green chile a delicacy that is otherwise unobtainable in the universe. Both seem equally plausible.
> The claim I responded to is that suddenly Apple Silicon-based Macs are more locked down than the Intel-based ones, and that "you only get to do what Apple lets you do." It is false.

It is true for the reason I stated. You can run other, less locked-down operating systems on Intel systems, as well as older, less-locked down versions of macOS. On Apple Silicon-based Macs you in practice have to use the latest, more locked-down version of macOS.
Maybe.

Those were just 7 examples.

I will go out on a limb and say that those seven would be at or near the top of the rankings and would set the rating curve.

I personally think it would make a big difference in this list.

Why not? Seems like it would be a simple and cheap forensic aid to put cameras covering the field of view of the pilots
Except the device doesn't conform to any standards, and apple hasn't bothered to document any of it. Given they tend to release new devices on a yearly cadence its quite possible that the "hackers" will never catch up. Sure in 4-5 years it might be possible to boot a linux distro on the M1, but by then apple will have the M5, with new GPUs, reworked interrupt, iommu, etc. So its great apple has this speedy device, but its likely that in the couple years it will take to open it up, it will be behind the curve. That is the problem with the rest of the "open" arm ecosystem, you looking at 5 year old SOCs designs. The "good" stuff might as well not exist at all.

And then its there is almost always a perf/power difference between a reverse engineered device and the native drivers.

Consider Nouvea as an example here.
Going a bit further, once an object has been confirmed as alien, then it's not really "Unidentified" anymore, now is it?

Almost a linguistic catch-22 version of the "ATM Machine" phrase. Not redundant, but guaranteed to be either colloquially misinterpreted, or technically incorrect.

It's kinda weird how words can just get coopted by popular use. Take calling someone a "Nimrod" -- before Loony Tunes, that would have been a compliment that meant "mighty hunter". But kids growing up in the 50s and on first heard it in when Bugs Bunny used it as an insult, contextually meaning idiot or bumbler or something -- which due to Loony Tunes' cultural influence is now the dominant meaning, supplanting the original biblical origin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod#Idiom)
The medical monopoly is more expansive than that. It regulates not just the use of the terms but the practice of medicine itself. And those rules are backed by the force of the government. If that’s what you’re suggesting for journalism, it’s even worse. It ultimately has the backing of government, but without the political accountability.

They also provided warnings to customers days before that spikes were coming.

I'm not sure what additional communication could be asked for. If losing power killed your internet then you really don't need to worry about power consumption anymore. If you lost it for another reason then it would make sense to assume energy was still expensive until you heard otherwise.

They provided daily update emails/tweets during the storm as well.

I imagine it's not legal to have a cut-off point where suddenly you have your power removed.
I'm so weary of my smartphone choices being determined primarily by what features will be stripped from me. Losing the headphone jack, losing video-out, losing custom ROMs, losing root access, losing notification leds, losing fingerprint readers that can wake the phone, losing 1:1.5 screens and then 16:10 and then 16:9 and then 18:9 and then 19.5:9 screens until the blasted things are so pointlessly tall I can't reach the buttons with my thumb anymore.
