>But first, go update your macOS systems to 11.3

Unofortunately the risk is to high. Last time I was trying to update to 11.2 my MacBook M1 showed black screen with instruction to find another Mac. During Covid situation I had to endanger myself with going to look for this 'another' Mac. No thank you very much. Not possible for now, who knows will it stuck this time or not. I do not wish loose my ability to work again.

Looks like to update safely you need to have another Mac. I mean if you for sure wish to get the guaranteed result.

BTW, I was reporting about this situation over here and about my surprise to the amount of bugs I have stumbled on . For those who was fast to suggest that there is some hardware issue with this specific machine - you were too fast to suggest something that you wanted very much to be the case. I leave it to your karma why you wanted it but No hardware issues have been found so far till this very day. It passes all tests including speed tests. All of the problems were software bugs and issues. All of them were perfectly known when you search the info about them.

For instance ScreenShot was slow when Mic was selected as sound input source for Screen Video Recording. ScreenShot have nothing to do with Mic as far as I know because no sound is recorded in ScreenShot last time I've checked :) and yet it was slow because of that(I guess it was trying to initialize the Mic for each screenshot). Once you select None as sound input source for Screen Video Recording the ScreenShot works again quickly like it supposed to be.

If this is not funny then what is? And it's very known problem if you google it, yet some people were donwvoting even that! Some people do not like facts it seems.

So I state again what I was stating back then. It's so far the buggiest Mac I ever had.
Ehh... I would wager on Roku being more dug-in here. For them, control over their hardware is an existential concern. For Google, streaming television is one of their many dalliances that may or not still be active 5 years from now.

Every television that I've bought over the past 5-10 years has Roku built into it. I know that some people prefer to plug in Amazon devices instead, and that's perfectly fine (not that Amazon is any "less evil" of a company than Google or Roku). But I use Roku's platform because it's usually the hardware default, and I like the UI well enough.

I'm already pissed that Google has raised their prices to the point where I no longer save any money compared to what I used to pay for cable+internet. And then dropped sports coverage for my local baseball team anyway. If YouTube TV disappears from Roku's platform, then I'll just sign up for Hulu or whatever 5 minutes later. Or fuck it, I might just go back to cable. These over-the-top, "skinny bundles" have been a bait and switch in practice.
Not sure that's a fair comparison. As far as I can tell, Tinder doesn't physically assault the women who don't match frequently enough.
I'm arguing for a distinction between being wrong and failure. I don't see anything from you (or the other poster) besides rhetoric. Apparently we should have "just known" that this virus was going to be a disaster. And evidence of this was "I knew" or "other countries knew". Great, and half of HN "knows" there is imminent hyperinflation.

It may be fair to describe the lack of available tests a failure. All the PCR testing sites near me were 100% booked whenever I checked and the state did nothing (as far as I know) to tell us where we could get tested. Perhaps that could be described as a failure. But the rhetoric from you and the other poster is post-hoc silliness. Neither of you seem to be aware that you're expecting the government to tell the future or what the drawbacks of that might be.

For a taste, consider that citizens blaming the government for 9/11 plausibly led to a years-long illegal wire-tapping and at least one clearly unnecessary war.
Great article!! So much good stuff to learn here!
One trick that I'm pretty sure I invented is useful in the case where you may be implementing some sort of Material Design palette: you want to use shades of a colour without manually defining them but are losing saturation if you simply use ie. `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)` -- just add `backdrop-filter: saturate(120%)`. This forces the browser renderer to over-saturate the white by mixing in the background colour. Unfortunately Firefox doesn't recognize this CSS property yet but it works fine in WebKit et al.
Culture won't lead to them actively growing beards, but it will lead to them passively allowing it to grow.

This applies to men and women equally. Many men struggle to grow a beard or shave it off, so we have beardless male emojis. So men have the option.

Women too can physically grow beards, even if it's only a few. There's nothing wrong with giving them the option of a bearded emoji.
Love it! Hopefully it takes off as a thing in the second half of pandemic lockdown madness.
> the means of making new coins tomorrow are intrinsically tied to owning coins today by the protocol itself.

It's not a shocking economic situation that you can use capital to acquire more capital. I don't know exactly what equilibrium the long term staking rewards will tend to, but it's not very different from interest - where for nearly no risk your capital lodged with a bank increases. The other side is that in a healthy financial system, locking money up has a cost too, so it's appropriate to recompense those who do.

I hope harassment can get you banned, especially if it's obvious and severe. I'm sure it happens, because that's how people are :(
This is a problem, but I don't think Moxie would do this as it could make him liable for evidence tampering. If the protection mechanism applies to the device being scanned, its a defensive measure, if it is applied to unrelated devices, it looks like a malicious destructive action.

If the USER could select the action, for research purposes, that might a different story.
Interesting, though I would have liked to see the browser support for each of these. Seeing so many -webkit prefixes is a bit concerning.
Sorry for being mean but that list is bullshit.
About half of the times i unlock my phone is when it is resting on the table. Fingerprint scanner on the back requires picking it up first, which is extremely uncomfortable to do every time. No. Just no.
The context is the same as many other companies - employee activists creating strife and division internally and causing other employees to feel uncomfortable.
Does anyone know how trustworthy this objective-see project is?

I remember once installing several of his apps, but then coming to the conclusion that i don't know enough - even though he consistently seems to find and fix flaws in OSX.

Why isn't Apple hiring this man?

EDIT: Why are people downvoting this question? If i'm implying something then i'm unaware of it.
Stero channels aren't encoded in the depth and radial axes. They're encoded in the same plane, but rotated 45 degrees, so a mono record player (depth only) plays a balanced sum of each channel.

Edit: mono is radial only, not depth.
Yeah, i'm working on multichain stuff now, and i've pretty much dropped geth/ganache for avalanchego for running simulations… really can't compete with the innovation on the consensus layer… and all the security tradoffs put forth in the eth l2's can be done with coreth for even more "scalability".

With the fracturing taking place now in the eth ecosytem, its only a matter of time avalanche sees more adoption just purely on the technical capability basis.
The answer to that concern is introducing and voting for policies that make the control of the global financial system more transparent and accountable, not introducing a new form of speculative commodity the (unintentionally-aptly-named) mining of which is, even now, contributing materially to global climate change that will, if left unchecked, devastate human civilization as we know it.
I think a simple search box is a much better solution than restricting emoji?

Where we disagree is that I do think we should aspire towards every single kind of human diversity on earth being represented in emoji.
What's the solution to near monopoly power? Enforce existing regulations against it. Is an unregulated industry or company doing things the citizens don't like? Pester lawmakers until they regulate it.
Never used a Samsung phone but touchId and faceid gates access to payments, passwords and banking apps. Typing a complex password on touch screen isn’t very fun.
> can still be JITimed and get close to native performance

Has anyone achieved this yet? I haven't seen any results myself but I haven't been looking carefully.

Also wouldn't you have to build that JIT yourself and all the primitives you need to implement a dynamic language like the caches and deoptimisation? Seems like it's not really providing the needed tools and you'd have to build a lot of basics on top of it.
> First, monads aren't functions.

Monads aren't functions[0]; in the analogy, monads are colors.

> [F]unctions of one color can't be called from inside functions of another color. And you don't really have an equivalent problem with using one monad inside the implementation of another monad.

If you have a bunch of `a -> M b` and one `a -> N b`, it's much more straightforward to interleave calls to any group of the former than to incorporate one of the latter. You encounter this when writing a new `a -> M b`, much like you might encounter the corresponding issue when writing a new blue function.

I should point out that there is usually good reason for this in the implementation, and often good reason for it in the domain. When there is good reason in the domain, that's great - our type system is surfacing the places we need to make decisions, rather than letting us mash things together in ways that will cause problems. When there is only good reason in the implementation, or no good reason at all, it's unfortunate, but certainly something that can be worked around.

Unlike the original setting, Haskell provides the ability to write functions polymorphic in "color" ("polychromatic"?), but for the (unfortunately necessary?) distinction between `a -> b` and `a -> Identity b`, and a lot of colors can be easily removed or transformed.

[0]: Some types which are monads are functions but that's not the sense in which we're coloring functions.
Cool. thanks for sharing.
No, nongovernmental actors don't require full participation to achieve the desired social goals. Unless we have competing governments, governmental actors are unitary, so making something it's mandate means if it doesn't do something then it doesn't get done.

Let's give a concrete example. Say it takes $10M to house the homeless in SF. One marc benioff (or, better yet, a few + tens of thousands of individuals, but not necessarily all) can step up and cover the cost and the rest of the greedy billionaires in SF can do what they want. Whereas if only the city takes care of it, then you could be hosed.

By its very nature if you want robust social services, you should build a voluntary system because that's not going to have a single point of failure.

Indeed your statement belies a serious level of projection: you're ignoring the negatives of a state run solution.
Comments like these greatly downplay the role of industry clusters. The hot take of the day is that California is a hellhole to be escaped as soon as possible.

Industry Clusters are often historical, so it always strikes me as strange when I see comments like this one that make a case for how misguided it was for tech companies to cluster in Silicon Valley and tolerate the high cost of living.

That line of thinking misplaces causes and effects so that they’re hilariously backwards.

Silicon Valley is a innovative place because of an extensive history of educational institutions, research facilities, and other market conditions that simply did not physically manifest in any other place.

On top of all that, the software industry has one of the lowest COGS (cost of goods sold) of any major industry. Facebook’s sales per employee is close to $2 million [1]. The fact that their SV employees cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more than employees is quite nearly irrelevant. Someone that’s 10 or 20 percent more productive will make up that labor cost difference by bringing in 10 or 20% more revenue, so it doesn’t really make sense for Facebook to abandon the best talent pools in search of cheaper rent or wages.

Tech giants are building out in Austin for its specific traits, and they don’t seem to mind that it’s rapidly becoming expensive and congested just like California. The question that might be asked is: why is Apple in Austin instead of Houston or Dallas or Nashville or Omaha?

doesn't do that for me. just got a new 12 mini running iOS 14.4 and... I still always have to do multiple gyrations to get to 'passcode'. Still regretting moving away from the SE with the touch button in that regard.

I actually got to hear one once. Extremely neutral and high-res, but the record has to be super clean because with the laser, you will hear every little speck of dust. Also it doesn't work with colored vinyl, iirc.

edit: they use 5 different lasers to get the data out of the groove, go read the section on their site, it's actually really intricate and cool

> the format has some funky EQ and other things to make a physical needle work better

Yes, in order to fit the high bandwidth music signal into a groove with a fixed width, the bass is EQed down and treble EQed up, since for a constant velocity sine wave, a low frequency wave would take up more physical width on the record than a high frequency wave. Without this EQ, you would only be able to store a small amount of music on a record. When the record is played, your phono preamp applies an inverted EQ curve to restore the signal to its original frequency response.

In the past, there were lots of different vinyl equalization curves, but the RIAA curve has been standard for decades now.

> If a user wants smooth scroll, they will enable it in their browser.

I really think comments like this aren't helpful and presumptuous to pressing forward. People hate change and love their table layouts... Just going to make a friendly counter argument:

- Did you read what this actually does? It's for anchor tags...

- Bootstrap 5 uses this by default.

- Lot of crappy websites out there. I choose loading one line of CSS versus jQuery + animate all day...

- For perspective, almost 100% of every little interaction on native apps are animated these days. It's liked so much by the general population that, some would say, made iOS so appealing in the beginning to take off. People like interaction.

- It's possible your opinion does not represent the majority anymore (or even that the HN general opinion).

- By making it a browser-defined CSS property versus being JavaScript, you are actually opening accessibility doors for people having this be device configurable.

I really think if someone hates it so much or for accessibility reasons, instead they should just disable it in their browser.

So literally the opposite of what you said.

---

Edit: Example of why this is important to be part of CSS for accessibility versus JavaScript:

```

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {

:root {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

}

```

or:

```

@media (prefers-reduced-motion) {

.animation { animation: none; }

:root {
scroll-behavior: auto;
}

}

```

I think HN can chill a bit here.
Some people don't want to be coerced into working remotely near Cupertino …
> Is there some way forward that doesn’t just involve eating the losses as a cost of learning?

I've always felt that Toastmasters and improv were good ways forward, depending on individual preference (formal/businessy vs comedic). The popular conception is that the former is all about public speaking and the latter comedy but most people I know who have gotten into either went to improve their general socializing/banter skill (I haven't participated in either, just relaying anecdata)
This is a very different trade though, the Dubai lamp trades a higher upfront price (these lamps are more sophisticated and cost more to make, so unsurprisingly they also cost more to buy) for a longer lifespan and improved efficiency.

Whereas incandescents were trading lifespan versus efficiency. You can make 5000 hour incandescents, but your "60 watt" 5000 hour lamp will put out far less light, so it costs the same to run but it's not bright enough, then you buy the 100 watt version, now it's bright enough but you're paying two thirds more money to run it!

A hypothetical 5000 hour incandescent only makes economic sense if your electricity is basically free (greedily maybe it makes sense if you don't pay for it, e.g. rental inclusive of electricity bills) whereas a Dubai lamp makes sense regardless of electricity price, because over long enough periods the increased lifespan saves you money anyway.
> There's enough narcos, mafia and other random citizens with enough distain for the law to fight over the remaining (5% Who knows) of remaining bitcoin on the black market after a worldwide ban that maybe it will still have some sort of demand.

If 95% of the value is gone, and with it probably 95% of miners, the whole system is vulnerable to attacks and could easily go into a death spiral for the remaining 5% of the value.
Such radical generalisation isn't helping anyone. It contributes nothing but discouragement at best, and spite and bile at worst, to the conversation. Twitter is nearly a lost cause; let's not turn this place into that too.

I have plainly put forth evidence and openly asked for evidence. Emotional outrage is not a fair return.
Sometimes I wonder if pickiness/unwillingness to accept imperfection/being unwilling to "settle" is the root cause (or bigger cause) than inadequate matchmaking algorithms.

What can Machine Learning and algorithms do if people just have unrealistic standards from being exposed to so many 'options' online?
Then turn it off. Open the Terminal and run:

sudo spctl --master-disable

That's it, it will never bother you again, unless you turn it back on or reinstall the OS from scratch. If macOS is still too limiting, you can also turn off System Integrity Protection, at which point you can do just about whatever the heck you want.

I personally kept both Gatekeeper and SIP turned off, back when I used modern macOS. But if they are turned on, they ought to work.
You are conflating your individual right to hang out with who you please with that of an institution like a school or company.

Nobody would disagree with the individual right.
So will the SCOTUS uphold the "not a cheerocracy, it's a cheertatership" rule?
Thanks! It's the same school. I could still split up the GPAs. I'm just worried what's going to happen when someone see's a 1.5.
> Consider the actual cost of the thing long-term to your organization.

A thousand times this. Not just in API versioning, but in everything.

Every new thing you introduce is a thing you must first develop competency in, and then maintain competency in for the life of the project. This cost is paid during development, it's paid on every new hire onto that project, and it's paid on-going as you need to work with that tool and have your ops team deploy, manage, debug, and tune that tool (where applicable).

Choose boring technology where possible if it's not directly related to your line of business.
Your link actually shows that it's very widely supported by everything but IE, just with a long standing bug in Blink.
You're not fooling anyone.
This is a lot different than being "canceled". The school must abide by policies and incorporate student's right to free speech, access to education, and equitable access to related school services and programs (including cheerleading).

Being "canceled" is a choice that private individuals and institutions make to not associate themselves with speech, actions, or views they find either objectionable or simply damaging to their brand and business goals. This is entirely a social phenomena and has no legal basis. People legally can and will fire/hire people as it serves my business goals even if you think it is lame. There is no 1st amendment violation here.

Conflating these things is a favorite straw man of people who simply feel scared and angry that they don't always get to be jerks with zero social or career implications (try going around saying you are a satanist and see how that affects your career, this isn't a new thing, just people are whining about it more loudly lately). They are very much not the same.
> Selling prior to 2016 must sting. It makes sense that somebody who made this mistake would be bitter.

Selling bitcoin prior to any time must sting (and in fact that's a very strong argument against bitcoin as a currency). This argument holds no water.
Felienne Hermans, who seems to be leading this research effort, is also writing "The Programmer's Brain". It has a sort-of "early access" version that I've been reading as chapters have been coming out. From what I've read so far she has been doing her homework in terms of what science really knows about learning, memory and so on. What I really appreciate is that she also looks outside of the field of programming for answers to questions surrounding how learning and thinking "works".

If she has the same approach to Hedy (and I have no reason to doubt that) then I hope that the research being done with this project will bring in some new insights from outside of programming (and ideally also come up with some of their own, but I have a hunch that there's a ton of low-hanging fruit outside of the programming world that could be useful here).

Yeah we need more empathy all around. Really we should all just admit no ones calling in life is to make their ceo and share holders more money and just take it easy at work and stop torturing ourselves and others for meaningless shit
Elsewhere in this thread someone suggested the opposite. Presumably you could attempt to implement this either as "destroy all species other than C" or as "destroy only species W". I don't know how to think about which, if either, this approach is more suited to.
The funky EQ is the RIAA curve[1] - by essentially rolling off the bass and boosting the treble you can fit more on a disc, it attenuates some of the clicks and pops and is kinder on the vinyl and needle.

It's trivial to invert in software, and as another response points out, there is indeed a working laser record player - although the record needs to be extensively cleaned before playback or it doesn't work very well.
