I've recently switched from my usual MBP upgrade to System 76 (Oryx Pro). While yes, Apple's walled garden does feel like a Rolls Royce compared to anything, the price tag difference this time was just way too step for me to keep buying a new Mac: It was basically 2x or more for roughly similar hardware, if not slightly worse on the MBP side. Overall, using Pop_OS! with its specialized GNOME3 setup has been a bliss, and I must say I had expected a far more difficult migration. In a few days I was happily up and running with my new machine. And then, there is the support - Apple's support outside of visiting a Genius Bar is basically non-existent. System76 has diligently helped me even set up external hardware that wasn't theirs! Long story short, very much looking forward to COSMIC and continuing this experience. The only thing I do miss a lot is my iTerm2... :)

I think GP is saying that threats or perjury are not just characterized by the expression of an idea but another underlying crime. Like if someone walks into a bank and says "give me all your money or else", it's still a crime, the speaking part of it is immaterial.

>Apple has just engineered the worst possible situation for themselves

Until you realize they don't actually care about it being "safe and secure" beyond a certain point.

They care they apps wont leech your payment details, they care they apps can't step outside the guidelines, they care that technology and connectivity is locked within the app store and not the browser but as long as an app plays within the rules they don't care if an app tricks your 5 year old into a 400$ a week subscription, as long as your 5 year old is doing it safely.
That is a nightmarish vision for a lot of non-“assh*le” people:

Probably not, since Islam is not thousands of years old.
Hopefully the story is the same in five years after Deno and browsers have both had time to evolve. Are there plans in place for tracking future updates to Web APIs in Deno?
According to Investopedia at least [1], VOO and SPY are not considered substantially identical by the IRS:

> For example, if an investor sells the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) at a loss, they can immediately turn around and purchase the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF.

> The rationale is that the two S&P 500 ETFs have different fund managers, different expense ratios, may replicate the underlying index using a different methodology, and may have different levels of liquidity in the market. Presently, the IRS does not deem this type of transaction as involving substantially identical securities and so it is allowed, although this may be subject to change in the future as the practice becomes more widespread.

Linux has no presence on the desktop market, yet apps like Steam and Spotify are ported to it, often with special considerations in mind. If we're talking about market share, you can have it: but in terms of software availability, everything is on Linux now. Wine is good enough to run any Windows app carte-blanche, and all of the most common apps (eg. Telegram, Discord, Zoom) have native clients.

Getting everything working reliably, beautifully, integrated and fast is not a matter of manpower, it's about the modularity of your system and the power the end-user has.
There are far simpler and less convoluted ways to launder money. We have bitcoin. We have HSBC.
This is my understanding as well, although I disagree with it. I know I'm not the first one questioning if sanctions even work most of the time, or if an economically crippled country is better for the long term health in a region known for its extremists versus one where its economy is not held back in any antagonistic manner, even if it has a nuke.
I didn't say you couldn't edit photos in Krita, just that it wasn't best in class for that use case. Probably because it isn't really a primary goal of the project.

It's less about what features are technically supported and more about what workfkows the ux is built around, at least for me.

I am just an amateur though, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.
You cannot find similar rhetoric from the US vowing to destroy China. In fact, you'd find the exact opposite.

Your other points rely on a rational actor... rational actors don't take freight ships hostage nor kidnap tourists.

The other benefit is e-commerce IT infrastructure and hosting - that's not free if you DIY so it can be worth it to pay someone else (i.e. Apple).

The apps my company have are on the App Store because of that. It's the same reason we outsource payroll and have Office 365. It's cheaper and outside our core competency so we pay to have someone else handle that.
How do you actually go about writing isomorphic libraries for browser/deno? It seems like for frontend code you'll have some build system that resolves imports to node_modules, whereas deno code imports from e.g. deno.land. How do you write library code with dependencies that can support
that and the other differences in the module systems?
I agree that most UNIX vendors short-sightedly priced themselves entirely out of the PC market, but Microsoft’s threats are the reason OEMs didn’t dare to sell PCs with OS/2 or BeOS preinstalled.
I've said it before, I'm saying it again: this is the reason I sandbox steam (I run it in a flatpak).

Remote code execution vulnerabilities galore in games that haven't been patched in decades. UT99 servers can send dlls, so some even do it on purpose back then. It doesn't require much: imagine a RSS feed on a game menu. The parser has a RCE. The domain name expires. It doesn't take much.

For now, some anti cheat systems do not work on Linux. If that's the price to pay for avoiding these invasive tools, then so be it. I don't want a 0day in some random anti cheat system to ruin my day/year/life.

I don't understand why people think it's some nefarious dark pattern. It's perfectly clear, the old 1Password app is winding down, the future is their hosted version.

The only way to even download the app is if you already knew about it's existence before. It's not a dark pattern, it's just directing people who sign up for 1Password today into their actually supported product instead of the end-of-lifed one. Your app will continue to work for some reasonable amount of time until some version of macOS breaks it, then you can either pick another one from numerous competitors or go with their hosted version. Sounds to me like you'll need look into the alternatives given your requirements. It is what it is, no need to attribute it to malice.
So I created a new account for this to avoid linking personal information...

I had blood clots in my lungs last week a few days after getting the J&J vaccine. I'm an otherwise totally healthy man in my 30s, no preconditions. The hospital reported it to the vaccine reporting agency, which I assume is reviewing all this information.

I'm not sure if they considered my case when making this decision. My clots were different type than what these women experienced (pulmonary, not cerebral).

Of course vaccinating the public is extremely important right now. If the risks of clotting really are 1 in a million, it makes sense to re-instate it. I also think that's an obvious conclusion and the people working on this are well aware of the public health trade-off.

I suspect they are working with more information than what's in the press release, and its prudent to give them some time to work through it.
Why would we expect them to become super human? I would expect AIs to be able to use the latest technology and weapons, and also to develop new and better technology and weapons, and to exclude other intelligences from using said technology and weapons, but note that this is already true for humans.

I'd be interested to see how well shorthand helps with the concerns raised in the OP (retention, etc) though.

I personally type at 120 WPM and so I think would struggle to do much better with handwriting in a way that would be helpful for long-term use of my notes, as shorthand does not seem very useful in this regard.
>"Did it appear to these clowns that if I have to use a wire transfer anyway, I can just use a _____ wire transfer?"

Yeah, it clearly did and they didn't like that you and everyone else doing that now has their transactions tracked. They know X paid Y an amount of $Z. They want you and everyone else to be able to transfer without anyone knowing to who. Just like using cash money in a shop (withdraw, transfer to Y, Y deposits in their bank and your banks know nothing as opposed to a direct deposit from X to Y where your banks know precisely when and who is on either end of the transfer).

Yes, as they note their current solution has issues. Transaction fees are too high. Volatility is a problem for any currency used as a medium of exchange absolutely.

So what is this? A start that can be improved on. If you want your transaction to be secret from your banks and those your banks share info with a wire transfer is probably not an improvement.

Might not work at all. Might have other issues as yet undreamed of. We'll see. Given I don't ever have to use this and Moxie has earned a reputation of not being neither crook nor zuck I'm kinda happy to watch and see what happens.

Immense amount of "Signal is terrible" on this site which doesn't make much sense to me.

Looking at the Android model, despite its greater openness than iOS, there is also only one dominant app market with a handful of third part competitors, from well-curated open source repos like F-Droid or XDA Labs to OEM third party ones that no one actually uses or wants to use like the Amazon Appstore or Samsung AppStack.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_app_stores

Really hard to say what would happen in a hypothetical situation where Apple allowed iOS alternative app stores. Maybe the overwhelming majority of users will continue to download only on the App Store, with a tiny minority of power users going to alternatives.
IC datasheets are dominated by the mundane but critical things like timing diagrams and electrical tolerances. Software components can't even agree on which "ICs" fit into which breadboards.

Low tech is the way to go. People want to equip electric cars with tracking devices to determine road taxes. It’s like they don’t realize each car has a yearly inspection and odometer reading. The added value of knowing exactly how many miles are driven in state or out of state will just be noise.
The M1 is the entry level processor, and is still beating everything in single thread performance. What merits the media exposure?
The App Store quality is so low now that I avoid it completely. It reminds me of a dollar store just browsing through it. All the developers, like sellers of products at a dollar store, have learned to optimize for “the packaging” of the app.

The goal isn’t to get some meaningful money per customer but to make a single sale, usually only a few dollars. So the goal is to trick the user, optimize for large volumes of unit sales and reduce the cost per sale to as minimal as possible.

I think it’s time that there be competing App Stores on iOS because Apple has completely dropped the ball with their brain-dead approach to quality and developer incentives. Whoever runs the App Store at Apple should be replaced, but that’s not going to happen until there is real competition so the numbers reflect the true state of things.

Getting someone to part with $20 is harder than $1. I think the race to the bottom with software distribution has had a negative effect on overall quality. I’d rather have a few moderately priced options to choose from than 100 equally cheap options.
I don't think most people are looking for the truth anymore. They are more interested in finding out what team you're on and who else says what you believe and what team they're on. A logical argument with references means absolutely nothing to most people these days. Questioning certain "truths" will quickly get you banned on many social media platforms and the list of "truths" gets longer every day.

I was in a zoom call with a large number of people I consider educated. They were talking about the California propositions and they didn't want to talk about what they said or to argue for or against, they just wanted to know who supports and opposes which one and if they were on the right team.
> That's re-building all of the wealth your family spent generations accumulating, every 50 years.

Only if you assume a 0% rate-of-return on your family's wealth. With a realistic assumption about rate-of-return, your wealth will never deplete because of a 2% wealth tax. It will simply grow more slowly.
4K at 15" is 294 dpi. I'm very surprised to hear that you can see pixels at that density at a normal laptop screen viewing distance.

My laptop is 'only' at 226dpi (16") and I can't see pixels unless I bring my nose to the screen.

That compromise would require knowing who someone actually is between site and site - you could collect the full list of cohorts but you'd need additional information to be able to marry all that data together - let's say something like facebook injecting JS into every page on the internet to harvest cohort information and then gleefully reselling that information.
I can understand that - but if I (or my company) were in that situation, I would not even use leetcode interviews.
8bit controllers like AVR a lot more accessible if you are going with no arduino approach of just datasheet+compiler. All the peripherals are described in single reasonable size datasheet and you can don't need much hardware initialization code except for features that you directly use. Bringing up an ARM chip from scratch without using a generator like STM CubeMX or a frameworks like Arduino with existing hardware support packages will take a lot more effort.
Then you don't use the letter M?
Oh, this reminds me showing Dvorak to a colleague. He asks: "So, where is the letter A?"
- "Mmm, right here, where it is in Qwerty."
- "OK. And where is, for example, letter M?"
- "Mmm, right here, where it is in Qwerty."
- "So, what's the point, then?"

Perhaps in the general case, but Deno is probably as opinionated or more so than your average JS framework choice on node.js. And certainly more opinionated than a more "neutral" runtime change like when Microsoft made the Chakra-backed node.js. For example, choosing to go with Deno cuts you out of much of the npm ecosystem (either due to the specific module model, or simply because the fundamental APIs are different, which is why express won't run "out of the box" on Deno -- there had to be ports of express and koa, etc.), which certainly is a bigger side-effect than switching from React to Vue. It also, to its credit, bets big on Typescript, a very opinionated decision (and I'd argue a good one too!). It bets big on async/await (which is still somewhat contentious in the node.js community, but luckily fading). In other words, there's not a lot of information conveyed from "it's a runtime not a framework," at least not in this case, aside from technical aspects. And again, I think it is precisely worth pitching it on its opinions, like the browser-compatible APIs, etc.
I agree that while it might be fun / efficient / impressive to learn the various methods of quickly specifying mathematical diagrams using symbolic entry, it distracts from the underlying message of the lecture.

Experiential salience is important for learning. It would be like copy and pasting code without typing it out yourself re a tutorial.
> The most painful problem with the machine is that WiFi is entirely unusable if you are simultaneously using bluetooth.

Wouldn't that be a problem of Windows itself? For me bluetooth has been a mess on every Windows machine. It's a miracle if something works and to get something working you even need to buy a dongle with a specific chip on it...
This is really impressive!

My first thought was: why not just an Elixir kernel for Jupyter Lab? But then I realized the real-time collaboration goals, and thought that's really exciting and not easily done with Jupyter, as far as I can tell.

I keep a Jupyter notebook at hand for ad-hoc queries and scripts and stuff, but since I'm primarily an Elixir developer, I'll have to try using this for a while instead!

Oh, and I love that the underlying representation plays well with version control. We have some checked in notebooks in some of our repos at work, and it's so noisy and hard to understand what's going on.
There is no reason that we can’t program digital synthesizers so that they have problems or degrade over time like their analog counterparts.

People prefer things to work perfectly, though.

I also agree with your point about the hands on control of analog synthesizers but it has to do with the user interface, not the method of sound creation.

An analog synth controlled through digital GUI would suck to use just as much as a VST does.
I understand your point, but how does minimum wage for unskilled workers factor? For example, in the US you could pay some $8/hour to 500 teenagers to achieve the same net result. No?

Yeah, I think for me it's almost entirely the trackpad that's the dealbreaker still. There isn't a single laptop that I can use linux on where the trackpad just doesnt suck. I'll tolerate the noise and the subpar display, even the speakers can suck, but the trackpad should be at least 80% of the way of what a macbook has.
As a former collector, I can only disagree. The hunt was interesting, but looking at a computer and spending money just doesn’t do it for me. At the same time it made the fun parts of the hobby feel pointless which just killed all the joy.

You could argue that the apis in question are more mature now than when Node was first released.

Either way, if Deno is one day replaced by something else, say 'Done' to keep the naming convention, that won't refute the use everyone will have gotten out of Deno in the mean time, in the same way that Deno doesn't refute the use everyone has already gotten out of Node.
It's an admirable sentiment, but there's a problem here. You can't wield that scalpel, and neither can I. Only the board and RMS can, and they've already demonstrated they won't.

The only way to get wholesale leadership changes is the implied threat that the organization will fail if they don't. You need a universe of people ready to burn it down rather than shrug off the latest offense.

>The GNOME team would likely never approve of the changes seen just in the short blogpost, let alone anything more extensive.

That's kinda the point of PopOS in the first place: retrofitting GNOME and Ubuntu with extra utilities for a better "out of the box" experience. Manjaro does basically the same thing on the Arch side of the fence, and both are essential to providing that experience you're describing. The GNOME team isn't intentionally holding back features or making intentionally bad choices here, they're just part of the brick in the wall. The GNOME desktop should be bland, so that the distro can provide a default and the end user can make changes where necessary. It's all part of one big machine.
I'd say, it depends? It definitely takes less time to screenshot something from the notes and import it in LaTeX, or even plot it with python and matplotlib or seaborn.
