There’s the iPad mini or Air as well. None of those use cases requires the performance of the iPad Pro. It’s easy to use and just like a big iPhone if that’s what you want to do.
Certain cultivars of fruits and vegetables are commodities; there are others that aren't, until the market for them grows beyond a certain size. Look at the price history for Honeycrisp apples for an example. Farmers choose to grow commodity cultivars because they're easier to sell in standardized markets. Of course, you could also sell in un-standardized markets, which is how a lot of producers pay their bills without growing on thousands of acres.

If we tried to grow crops in the mainstream agricultural style, but just subtracted machines and pesticides, maybe half the world's population would starve. If the places people lived were integrated with diversified, guilded orchard silvopasture, there would be a surplus of food without machines or pesticides, those people would just have to go pick it themselves.

People obviously don't just want cheap food, given the success of Whole Foods.

The culture war comes in when people act like there's only one way of farming, and one way of integrating farming and the rest of society. Y'all are firing the first shots, don't be surprised when people shoot back.
> Your first post is about the one time and perpetual operational overhead associated with operating under the prior FOSS license

My first post is about the fact that even though the planned use case would be 100% compliant to the AGPLv3 license the fear that is associated with that license could prevent such use.

> That makes zero business sense

Purchasing a license in that case while not strictly necessary might be seen as an insurance. So that makes business sense.

In the end though I highly doubt that's whats going to happen. The most likely outcome is that we just get told to get rid of Grafana and use something else.
If the "interest" that you're worried about AirTags "working against" is being able to stalk people by attaching trackers to them or their belongings -- sincerely, fuck you. It is entirely appropriate for Apple to build functionality into their products to mitigate this sort of abuse.

Discord is still way worse in text chat.

I (as a uni. student, so take it with a grain of salt) am involved in managing several large projects - overseeing 4 teams of around 10 people each. We decided to use Discord as the university did not want to pay Slack workspace licenses and it has been a frustrating experience to say the least.

Comparing to several experiences I have had with similar-sized teams and even a larger, albeit still small-ish, organization, there are many complaints to be had:

- No threads. This one is Discord's Achille's heel when compared to Slack. If you have even two or three simultaneous conversations around the same topic, you either a) are unable to understand what's going on past a certain point or b) need to take the conversation somewhere private, essentially losing one of the main components of the experience.

- No archiving channels. Seriously. I have categories in my Discord servers to archive stuff, and it just means that there is a dump of channels clobbering the interface for day-to-day operation. The Slack model where they are tucked away in a closet is much better.

- Integrations. Discord bots are cool for music but everything productive, from /gcal to Doodle/GitHub/Trello/Google Drive integration is better on Slack.

One thing I think is overrated is the search. Discord's sucks, and while Slack search works reasonably well, I do find it hard to remember relevant information to put in the search prompt. Essentially I think that you still need an external place to store persistent documentation and more durable information, be it VCS issues, wikis (Notion has been a product I started using recently and seems pretty cool), but even there threads help write the docs.

Where Slack falters is not-text. As ludicrous as this sounds, I have seen cases of teams using Slack for written communication and falling into Discord for voice channels and transient chat. I think this can be made better with good integration with some communication suite: Zoom? Google Meet? Anyhow, this is where MS Teams comes and eats their lunch. Worse at everything than everyone else, but at least it does it all.

Yeah but the point still stands that you can still run new applications on Windows 10 in Boot Camp an old Mac. There's a good chance that if you're using a "left behind" Mac, that you can't even update your apps because they stopped supporting your version of MacOS, even though it's working perfectly fine.

Also, Windows 10 in 2021 is far from being exactly like Windows 10 in 2015. There have been a lot of changes, Microsoft just doesn't increment the major number any more.
The AGPL license states

> A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

Doesn't a product that offers grafana-powered dashboards "form a larger program" ?
AGPL is a license qualifying the criteria of OSI's OpenSource definition and FSF's Free Software definition.

A key point there is that a user can use the software quite freely without restrictions only with the caveat that modifications have to be made available to users. (AGPL is slighqtly more complex)

Many of the "modern" licenses allow to look at code, but prevent distribution and/or modification and/or usage. They typically aim for any "proper" usage requiring a commercial license and not giving the guarantee that code can be fixed in case the original vendor stops working on it.
Actually, in the "Settings" panel you can import data from Disqus! You could try it.
I’m not a huge fan, I love podcasts as they exist now (or as they did before Spotify entered the ecosystem).

I might jump over to Apple Podcasts, if only as a step to keep Spotify at bay.

If any of the MBAs at Spotify happen to read HN, please please please reconsider your life choices. Spotify is committing slow-motion brand suicide.
The benefit of iOS is there is almost no way for them to mess it up, no matter what they click on. Troubleshooting is usually always turn it off and on, or uninstall the app. I have been pleased with the results of giving all of the older and non tech literate people in my family iPads.

I do not see why a non tech literate person would need an iPad Pro though. iPad Air (bigger screen is more comfortable for older eyes) or even Mini should easily suffice.
Around here a mortgage plus taxes is quite a bit less than rent for a comparable square footage and year of construction. Rent should be more than mortgage as you are paying your landlord's mortgage plus the overhead of renting it out. Even if your landlord has held the property for a long time, they should take out new mortgages and invest the money rather than let it sit idle. There are some markets where the demand to rent is not coupled to the demand to buy, but this highly atypical.

Touch screens are a design compromise. Not as good as dedicated input devices, but necessary if you're putting something in your pocket and perfectly acceptable if all you are doing is consuming media and maybe some light typing.

I have powerline modules already and they work so I'll probably go this route. What APs did you get?
heh, my though too

but seriously, the cooling system and speakers are built around it. Speakers in particular obey the laws of physics, so they either need to go behind it or under, and someone made that call.
I use AppleTV exclusively, how do you feel you are being sold to? I am guessing it is in the Apple TV app? That is the only place I can think of where I see something like this but it does not seem drastically different from Netflix promoting shows to watch.

I mainly use other apps and do not feel like I am seeing ads or anything that are coming from AppleTV.
My phone controls the volume, when the remote app is up on the phone the volume buttons on the phone actually change my receivers volume through HDMI from the Apple tv.
You're the second person to say this, but for what it's worth: the iPhone remote app is literally the only way I control the volume on my AV system.
I find the use of the word suppress to describe what youtube does a bit odd. Now, I am of the opinion that youtube doesn't outright ban most things they find objectionable. That would be suppression (please tell me if I am wrong about this, because otherwise my next few sentences are just fundamentally wrong).

What I see youtube doing is promoting content they like. The video is not itself deleted, its just not promoted (both to users and advertisers). Would you really call that suppression? You can argue its suppression in the sense that when you are so powerful any decision regarding disadvantaging someone is suppression. But I am not totally convinced by that argument, because curating a platform is their entire purpose at this point.
The problem is rarely with the courts most people don't lose lawsuits like that. The problem is when the real person goes to the bank for credit and can't get it because the bank thinks you are already in default.
Exactly the same here, coming from a 2017 one.

There hasn’t been a moment I lacked computing power or battery life or anything else. The software experience has been lacking.

I was really hoping iPadOS would bring us closer to MacOS. There was even some hope that an M1 iPad would come with MacOS.

I just want to be able to do things without needing an expensive app or a really shitty work around. If it wasn’t for needing the pencil, I’d have stepped away quite some years ago.

Yes but you know a phone can be tracked.

If it's someone's backpack or leather jacket, it won't be obvious in any way if there's an AirTag slid deep into some pocket.

Sure a professional thief might check, but plenty of things are stolen casually by people who simply see something lying around.
Doubtful, in this case.

Microsoft would have bought Discord for the gaming community and pursued tight integration with the XBox ecosystem. Which could have boosted the platform, but probably not in a way that resulted in a lot of direct revenue.
There is at least one person circumnavigating without using any motorized transport. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bqpGT7rVPJ-CEEdFIeTDQ They do mostly mix between sailing and cycling. With this one it is more about the interesting people and places and not just the trip, so no strict rules on land or sea travel. But they do strictly follow the rule of not using motorized transport so getting in and out of port can be interesting, often they need to get help from the locals to paddle in and out.

I'm currently playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on my M1 Mac using an Xbox One S controller. It fully vibrates and requires no setup at all. Apple introduced this pairing of Xbox and PS4 controllers very recently for all its devices. Its great. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, not so much. I can't get more than a steady 30 FPS.
As far as I know there are only three (four?) M1 chips in existence: M1 8GB, M1 16GB, M1 7-core GPU 8GB. There may be an M1 7-core GPU 16GB but I suspect that there is actually only ONE M1 chip (M1 16GB 8-core) and the rest are binned versions.

Perhaps your screen colorspace is too low. (I'm serious.) They looked plenty bright to me. I think if you look at them in person the colors will be much more saturated than your display allows.
I recently came over to "Apple"-world after years of listening to all the fanatics/ambassadeurs who proclaims "it just works". I've been using an Apple AIO computer (model Imac 5k) for a couple of years as a web browser, but recently I started the switch from Android eco system and first I bought the "pro" model of their wireless headset just to find out that they worked pretty decently (albeit, overly expensive) as bluetooth headset even to my Sony phone, then I bought the their mobile phone ("12 pro") and also their smartwatch ("series 6").

After I switched from Android I did a reset to my headset and paired it with all my Apple devices. Success rate of switching sound between computer, phone and watch against the headset varies alot. Sometimes it just works but almost half of the times I have to fiddle with sound output in computer to select the "airpods pro" or in the phone to select the bluetooth headset.
Not to mention that even directly in the phone I had troubles to answer in Hangouts with sound output/input redirected to the headset, even though it says "Airpods pro" beneath the bluetooth symbol to show it is actively connected to de device. Also in the computer there are several occassions where the "wheel" is spinning, in the attempt to connect to the headset.
This thing "it just works" feels like a fraud to me, I can't remember since Android 2.x (I never had the 3.x, only 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 8.x, 9.x and 10.x) that I had sound/connection issues like this.
Although I have not had a bluetooth headset linked between my Linux computers and Android phones, I have shared multipoint bluetooth headsets between two different android phones and switched over without these kind of obstacles I now have.
> benevolence of pharmaceutical companies

I get that sentiment. There's a question of alignment of incentives.

Covid19 vaccinations are likely to be a thing for many years to come, and there are a number of entities that will be able to produce those future vaccinations. If one of the big vaccine providers produces something that's demonstrably less safe than the others, then the odds of them getting more money for future vaccines goes down.

It's far from a perfect system, and there are a lot of holes, but in this case, things line up pretty well.

In short, you can be confident that these companies are primarily focused on long-term profit, which often aligns with good short and long term outcomes for its customers.
I recently came across this study which suggests it can retrotranspose into your DNA. From what I understand they weren't attempting to find that intentionally, but found it while looking into why people were testing positive for COVID many months after being infected and not currently infected.

I'm not suggesting that the vaccines could do the same, but it's not that big of a leap to wonder if the virus can retranspose, then the vaccine could as well.

Also I'm aware it's a preprint and not fully peer-reviewed yet, interesting nonetheless.

Please take this rhetoric elsewhere. No human rights are being violated. We are trying to protect people and buying time until all can be immunized (or, if vaccines didn't exist, allowing health care facilities to handle the load).

We KNOW containment measures work (Ebola, SARS).

If you expose more people to a virus, you risk making the pandemic much worse. Or deadly. Viruses mutate. Every new person exposed is a potential laboratory.
The sound quality (via Sony MDR-7506) is comparable to an iPod. Detailed and clear. It can get very loud and drive much nicer headphones than mine. It loads and plays FLACs and other large files much faster than the iPod can because the iPod is 20 years old and doesn't have the horsepower.

The software, honestly, is not nearly as bad as "alibaba junk". It is just fine. The iPod's software is more thought-out and consistent. The Fiio software is much more user friendly than Rockbox though. It responds well and hardly ever crashes. It has all the settings you'd expect and then some. It will be annoying if you expect perfection, but it never skips tracks on its own, the buttons always do what you want, settings aren't reset on you. The M5 is more fiddly than the M3K but I usually use the M5 anyway. I'm willing to tolerate the less-than-perfect software.
Let’s be realistic here, EU users aren’t a core use case for a local newspaper in Florida.

After starting my career in Ocaml/C#/Java, for the last 10 years I've worked primarily in node in critical systems.

Live medical data processing, large ETL pipelines, and coordination systems that set 100% uptime as a goal and any incident would have _very_ thorough RCA, retrospectives, and accountability reports.

While traditionally these were built with things like Erlang, Java Ecosystem tools (Camel, etc), the only time that using node had serious downsides was when integrating to particular languages ecosystems as a second class citizen.

Examples:

• Kafka. Until recently the node-rdkafka wrapper had quite a few bugs compared to the java client. We ended up writing our own internal client in typescript. Performance was worse, but we had easy scalability of our producer services and we were able to track down and resolve any issues quickly.

• z3. There hasn't been an official build for node yet. We had built a wrapper to use a specific fork of z3 that we had, which allowed identification and distribution of shared subsets of problems. This worked with an etcd-like streaming consumer where you would get live-pushed keyed-problem subsets and utilize those in a local in-memory cache to speed up solvers that overlapped.

• Distributed Actor-Like framework. Obviously Erlang, Akka, Akka.NET, etc are the prior art here. It didn't take too long to have our team analyze these and build out mimics in typescript.

• Wrappers for specific C++ statistics libraries. Some of our ETL pipelines would enrich data with a pass on certain identifiers/classifiers/aggregators. For a few of these we created js/ts wrappers, but it would have been nice if they existed.

• Standard Library. We took a microsoft-like approach and just created a standard library for ourselves. Tested and with lots of features, it meant that we rarely had to reach outside of our ecosystem for Collections, Encoders, Crypto, etc, and that they were all documented to our internal standards. If there was an issue, you had someone you could ask and get an answer within the hour.

Unfortunately all of the above is proprietary and we weren't allowed to release any of it.

We did retrospectives on technology choices and limitations once a year, to learn from decisions made going into the future. Each time when Node came up, the general consensus was "we could have done it in Java I suppose, but the Typescript/Node combination was much quicker to iterate on and we felt more confident in the solution after the fact".
We managed to get a reply from a C level. All we could get out of them was "something to do with our DB, but we don't know the root yet. Our fail-over process didn't work. This will never happen again".

Also, it only took them 2 and a half hours to admit it was their entire system instead of "a small subset of users" lol.
Are all the CPU cores firestorm cores?
I agree with the ones below who say that it’s because of economy of scale, but I also think they made this choice because we’ll see more at the WWDC and in the next years.
Apple keeps saying the iPad is a computer, when in fact it isn’t. But the iPad is capable of many things the Mac can’t do. It has the pencil, it can become more portable when used alone, it has 5G, cameras, the lidar and more. As long as they can sell both, they’ll keep doing it, but I think at some point 13” Macs (at least the Air and the cheapest Pro) will be replaced by the iPad, when it will have a better software. After the Apple Silicon announcement many choices started making sense, and in a similar way this iPad will be a way to test in which direction the computer market will take.
