> Except the squeeze failed at $400, and short interest was still above 100%

It's likely that as the price rose, the funds and investors that were shorting at the pre-squeeze prices were forced to close their positions at a loss. Then, they (or other investors) opened new short positions at the inflated higher prices, thus keeping the overall ratio high.

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.

Whether or not anyone has gotten other operating systems to run well on these machines is orthogonal to the claim.

I have an Alienware laptop whose trackpad doesn't work on Ubuntu, which sucks, but I don't accuse Dell of plotting to take away my ability to run my own software because of it.

Good. A person just told you that you did something that confused them. You don't have to rename it to "X" exactly, but you do need to try to do something that communicates effectively to your collaborators.

> And that person might not always be necessary right

There is no right. There are only confusing and not-confusing. A person that you're collaborating with just told you that what you did is unclear to them. That means you have to make things more clear. I don't care if your solution to this problem is to just add a comment, as long as you're both happy that the end result communicates your ideas effectively. But you have to do something to fix the fact that your original variable name didn't communicate what you thought it would.

> that doesn’t mean one is right and the other one wrong

Thinking of names as objectively right or wrong is a mistake. Names either add confusion or reduce confusion. Striving for the latter requires meeting your interlocutor halfway.

Agreed. It’s an odd thing to say, but I’ve been using Macs since the early days, and something about SL felt like OS X had finally arrived—like the platform had reached the point where Apple wanted it to be.

Not that the earlier versions were notably bad or anything, but something about them still felt new and experimental. I remember thinking Snow Leopard was the point at which X graduated to “the new normal”, for lack of a better way of putting it.
I picked up on that and also numeric parameters that were not assigned to variables first.
Increase in STEM degrees does not have a causal effect on number of good jobs. Any hope that it does is about as speculative as "investing" in bitcoin or the next Gamestop pattern.
It seems like this elides the difference between the goals of humanities education and the actual practice and outcomes of humanities education. I honestly don't know if humanities education confers the ability to "read closely, think clearly and critically, and synthesize information" at a rate that's so much higher than STEM education that it makes sense to divert tens of thousands of dollars to a humanities major instead of a STEM one.

Just as some naive first cut at answering this, I looked up GRE scores by intended graduate major [1]. "Physical sciences" (including math) majors average a 151 Verbal and "Humanities and Arts" average a...156, which seems pretty close, and even closer if you squint to try and account for the fact that the physical sciences skews English-as-a-second-language more than the humanities?

Of course, the GRE isn't a perfect proxy for the ability to "read closely, think clearly and critically, and synthesize information", but...graduate schools seem ok with it?

Holy smokes, that would be quite alarming.

American Airlines confirms...the radio transmission was from one of their pilots. OK. It will be interesting to see how the 6-month pentagon directive goes.

(I personally have no opinion on this, as to weapon or sky dolphins or aliens)

One of my pet theories is that there is no big "coverup of the known" with UFOs. Instead it's a coverup of the unknown.

We humans have basically built up a pile of experiential-scientific debt, due to leftover 20th century "don't look into it, don't ask questions" psychology which was rampant in world militaries and governments.

If there's a UFO coverup, it's likely a natural human coverup due to leftover human evolutionary speedbumps like the delayed-frightened animal response.

One specific example:

“There’s no doubt it was something beyond anything we know or understand. […] I have concerns, but I don’t think we can do anything about it. I think this is beyond us. So: Quit worrying about it.” --Lt. Colonel Charles Halt, USAF, who actually experienced the Rendlesham Forest incident

(Can you imagine a military leader with similar psychology managing a department of UFO research?)

Another researcher's take:

“…not only is there a UFO coverup, but they [government / miltary] simply have no idea what they are. They really don’t.” --John Greenwald

IMO we should train our elected and appointed leadership to look into things--otherwise in many cases they will refuse to do so when their subjective leanings are calling the shots. This is basic, foundational strategy for contingencies...
From the Fossil page:
> Rebasing is lying about the project history

This tired hyperbole just won’t seem to ever go away. Please try to ignore this junk, the Fossil devs could and should make their point without the FUD and misleading judgement, if they want to be taken seriously. Rebase has perfectly legitimate uses, and if Fossil makes it so you don’t need to rebase, that’s fantastic.

Rebase is most useful before pushing local changes to other people, and most people fluent in git know this fact, and also know that you don’t rebase public branches, you don’t rebase other people’s commits or your own after they’re pushed, except in emergencies and with team communication.

Rebasing before you push is the same amount of “lying” as typing something into your editor and then deleting it before you hit save. You don’t actually want your history at the raw keystroke level, right? You aren’t “lying” if you fix a bug you wrote before you push the bug into public branches, right?

An interesting development/build environment going forward might be some sort of small form factor computer (i.e. Intel NUC, RPi4) running Ubuntu (possibly even Ubuntu Server on a multicore NUC). And then use a locked down, proprietary, ultra light Mac M1/Windows/Chromebook laptop to connect to the dev machine via SSH over local networking/USB networking - basically simulating the cloud development experience, just locally. It probably has the side benefit of making the transition from local development to production deployment look a lot more similar.
I believe heating is most problematic for daily micro EVs in winter due to lower battery capacity, but adding capacity makes it not micro.

I think the proper term here is "Unidentified Flying Object" for a reason. The pilot clearly said it looked like a cruise missile. The notion that "Unidentified = Alien" is rather far fetched. The acronym should be more accurately called "Undisclosed Flying Object".

How about "wildly experimental linking device"?

Edit: Had fun thinking up a couple others:

"whimsically eclectic logical design"

"willfully egregious lackadaisical decision"

"wise element location director"

"world exploring layout detector"

"wrong-headed exasperating liability defender"

"workaday execution layer developer"

"wonderfully elegant logistical delegator"
For such small drives, why can't they just splurge a little and put some high endurance SSDs in?
David Fravor, who I believe is the Navy Pilot that is the public face of the "Navy tapes" you are referring to, described the object as a "Tic Tac" - which is cylindrical. Still, I'd bet on some experimental (or just rare) type of human/American aircraft. Second place theory is that a pilot is making a joke or resigning or something, similar to how a developer might open a sev-1 ticket to tell his soon to be former company that he is resigning. (Although, hopefully "mischievous prankster" is an attitude that is heavily discouraged among commercial airlines pilot)
Another implementation of a similar idea (but taking the form of CLI utilities rather than a library) is https://github.com/deshaw/pyflyby. I think philosophically it’s better - the result is good quality Python code. No mypy support, though.
NextCloud also has a web upgrader accessible from the admin panel. It's almost certainly based on the same code.

Why was this downvoted? garg is quite plainly correct:

> The example usually given by those who would punish speech is the case of one who falsely shouts fire in a crowded theatre.

> This is, however, a classic case where speech is brigaded with action. [...] They are indeed inseparable and a prosecution can be launched for the overt acts actually caused.

> Apart from rare instances of that kind, speech is, I think, immune from prosecution.

This couldn't be more explicit in saying that falsely shouting fire in a crowded theatre is a prosecutable offense. (As long as an injury occurred.)
Off topic tangent: "Children of Men" is also a great litmus test for search engines. Searching for "movie without babies" in Google yields "Children of Men" as the first result (and has since before 2010). Other search engines generally return movies about babies and stuff like that

Meanwhile the major Democrat leaning/voting news outlets peddled russian collusion conspiracy nonsense for years and then stoked the flames of racial and anti-police violence last year. And I see we have people here clinging to misinformation and melodramatic interpretations by the major liberal news outlets on events of january 6th, and these people don't know that they are living in unreality themselves and yet want to censor their political opponents under the guises of "misinformation" and "inciting."
How come aircrafts are not equipped with color video for later visual confirmation? If a pilot claimed something, we can at least see what they are describing as well, and maybe more details that they didn't catch with video.

Also are commercial pilots not allowed to carry smartphones? Did the pilots not record outside the cockpit window with their phones?

Hearing of this UFO is pretty exciting, and it would be even more exciting to have actual photographs of it from official sources.
Using socketed M.2 SSDs introduces a class of problems ("the SSD isn't seated correctly") and also makes the device thicker. There are probably other reasons but I'll bet those are the two big ones.

The idea of a "spam folder" for social media harassment doesn't really make sense. An email is a private communication. But social media is public. If someone throws a hot take at you on social media, not only is it not private, it is about as public as it can get.

Something about this degree of forced intimacy feels very unnatural; maybe because it is -- it's to some extent engagement hacking meant to juice ad dollars. So I appreciate the desire to try and encourage more intimate, tightly woven spaces over faceless sprawl. Unfortunately, the problem with rejecting the world and retreating into the woods is that you forfeit the commons.

And that is the issue here. We won't solve the myriad issues of the public commons this way. What is needed is frankly a more ambitious and systematic solution, one that addresses the effective and perverse incentive structure for producing and selling conspiracy theories, tailor made to every tribe.

Apple still charges that kind of premium on RAM even on the Intel Mac mini where you can replace the RAM.

People still pay it, because most people probably don't know the RAM is replaceable, don't want to be bothered with doing it themselves, don't want to accidentally damage their new computer, don't realize the upgrade prices are high, or other reasons.

Apple has always charged high premiums for upgrades... premium upgrades aren't a strategy they suddenly invented when they started soldering components down.

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.

The Bengal Famine: How the British engineered the worst genocide in human history for profit

"I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits." -Winston Churchill

The British had a ruthless economic agenda when it came to operating in India and that did not include empathy for native citizens. Under the British Raj, India suffered countless famines. But the worst hit was Bengal. The first of these was in 1770, followed by severe ones in 1783, 1866, 1873, 1892, 1897 and lastly 1943-44. Previously, when famines had hit the country, indigenous rulers were quick with useful responses to avert major disasters. After the advent of British rule, most of the famines were a consequence of monsoonal delays along with the exploitation of the country’s natural resources by the British for their own financial gain. Yet they did little to acknowledge the havoc these actions wrought. If anything, they were irritated at the inconveniences in taxation the famines brought about.[..]
The article is about immigrants. The parents of immigrants don't live in the U.S, so it's extremely unlikely that they got property through inheritance. (You can't apply statistical conclusions about a large group [all Americans] to individual subgroups [Chinese immigrant waiters & home-care providers] without adjusting your priors, and in this case there is a very strong prior for "parents did not own property in the U.S.")

Describing WebGL as immediate mode is a little misleading. The rendering is immediate but the API is definitively not. There is a ton of state that needs to be allocated up front, mutated rather than re-created, and eventually torn down. Buffers, textures, shaders, and uniforms are all retained state. There's also the whole OpenGL state machine.

OpenGL used to have a true immediate mode where you called a function for each triangle vertex, and you didn't need shaders or buffers. That mode is not present in WebGL.

The non-source code stuff can be ignored via .gitignore (more on that in a moment), assuming you do not want it in the repo at all.

Your 'B' use case sounds like one we have right now: A framework, if you will ('A') and apps delivered via that framework ('B', 'C', etc.). Eventually, we will deliver A as a package and the apps as plug-ins to that package (more or less) but right now they all live together (npm run start in A brings in the apps in B, C, etc.).

Our top-level folder has a .gitignore that looks like this:

*
!thisProjectFile.js
!that.css
!images/\*
!otherArtefacts/\*

where the items preceded by ! are all in the A repo, things we want git to consider when in A but not in B, C, etc.

In A's top-level folder, do a git clone of the repos for B, C, etc., and their folders will be created in that folder, but

1. All git operations in A will ignore B, C, etc., because of the .gitignore, and

2. Operations in B, C, etc., will ignore A, because it is "outside"

Works well enough for now.
> A person just told you that you did something confusing.

The person told me that I did something confusing to them. And with using that kind of format, almost forces you to have to pick his opinion. Because now instead of clarifying your choice of naming, have to now defend your choice against his or her.

> There is no right/wrong here. There is only confusing and not-confusing. A person that you're collaborating with just told you that what you did is _unclear_ to them. That means you have to clarify what you did.

A person just told me they find a name confusing, and asked if it can be changed. That person could’ve clarified why it was named a certain way, but instead just proposed a change.

Again, the way the comment was written makes it extremely hard to do anything other than use the proposed new name.

> Thinking of names as right or wrong is a mistake. Names either add confusion or reduce confusion. Always strive for the latter.
