Do you find you get a lot of negative feedback or churn during that period? Seems like it would be an awful first impression, but maybe not if you communicate things well.
If this was NASA, the silence would be an ominous sign. NASA (JPL) typically sends back a picture ASAP because they live stream the whole event and know the world is watching. NASA loves press, and is very good at it. Unsurprisingly, China is being much more secretive. I don't think three days of silence is indicative of anything. This is their first rover. I'm sure they're taking their time. If a few weeks from now we still haven't received pictures or data, I'll start to suspect a failure.

I'm not a professional, but last year I made a few videos for conferences about math.

For a 15 minutes talk, I had to film each "slide" like 4 or 5 times, and then glue them together. It was like 4 hours making the video and 4 hours editing, to get a (not professional) 15 minutes talk.

I'm not sure about videos of people drawing, because it's more difficult to stich parts of videos of different drawings together, but I guess you need to film like 5 to get a good one.

Good luck and keep trying!
Seriously.

It's also one of the cleverest examples I've ever seen of turning a limitation into a feature.

Spotify didn't want multiple people sharing a single account, which is relatively easy to implement by preventing multiple devices from listening to different tracks at the same time.

But so they just synced the same stream across all connected devices, and boom -- no longer a limitation, now it's a feature! And a genuinely useful (even indispensable for me) one at that.

I can't think of any other similarly clever solution by any other company where a limitation is genuinely turned into a benefit, but I wonder if anyone else here can.
>If someone could figure out a way to get all MacOS apps —including the system — to use the performance cores, perhaps the battery life would be back down to Intel levels?

Other than to prove an utterly useless point - why would you want to even remotely do that?!?

If my time machine backup takes four times as long but my battery lasts longer still why would I care? The overall experience is a HUGE net improvement.

That's the point being glossed over by the majority of commenters and the point the original author is making - benchmarks are interesting, but nothing beats real world experience and in real world experience there are a suite of factors contributing to the M1 and Apples SOC approach spanking the crap out of their competitors.

Curious, I downloaded the app. The feed I was presented with was 90% girls in low cut tops, and everything is paywalled until you pay for votes.

If you want to become a "creator" (so you can run your own polls and make money), you need to join a waiting list where they will analyze the follower count of your other social media accounts to ensure you are worthy.

The (iOS) app itself was annoying to navigate without a native swipe back gesture. Amazing that it has so many 5 star reviews.

Ultimately, the BBC article and amount of 5 star reviews this app has screams to me PR company media blitz to generate buzz, and nothing about this seems organic.
> If anything it slows development down, not makes it faster

It doesn't really "slow development down", it just forces you to explicitly specify the data structures that exist whether you decide to acknowledge them or not. Eschewing types is just a form of technical debt that every developer has to repay as they deduce the application data structures through trial and error, often times in production.

Check out secular buddhism, same (general) thing is going on there as well. And don't get me started on Mindfulness.

It's hard to say with certainty where these things are 'back to basics' versus a high-brow form of cultural appropriation. Western, lower-case-p philosophy has been accused countless times of being reductive in nature (and our relationship to Nature is perhaps one of the clearest cases of this).

You would think that studying eastern philosophy and indigenous ways of thinking/being would counteract that, but even that is breaking down now.
This is the same way I treat PhD students. A lot of micromanagement early on, and then I progressively try to step back. That said, it is always a big concern if they stumble for a considerable amount of time (a year) or are not capable of being independent as they approach graduation, even if they can deliver very effectively when being micromanaged.

Combine:

- Governments that shut down significant parts of every major economy, for several months, to contain the virus (which imho was a good reason), with

- Trillions in stimulus

- And a record global middle class that's never been larger or wealthier than today and wants to consume more than ever

And this is the result.

The free market has its flaws, but this situation is perfectly suited for capitalism to work its magic.
While I absolutely believe that breathing techniques can be beneficial for ADHD (I’ve got it, and our almost-7 y/o daughter does, too), the mechanism posited here seems… questionable.

One region of the brain getting more oxygen? If that were the explanation, surely other regions of the brain would be performing poorly due to insufficient oxygen as well. And further, taking oxygen might be expected to yield improvements. Is any of that the case?
Sounds like a fucking nightmare to be honest.

We’ve had the technology to do this for many decades, but we don’t do it because of the insane overheads at modern scale, and because the permanent campaigning and rabble-rousing required would make governance for even the medium term very difficult.

The general public are unlikely to produce a coherent set of policies one bill at a time, and trying to manage the contradictions they produce will suck any government into the quagmire. For example, the U.K. electorate were happy to vote for Brexit paradoxes like the NI border, which parliament and the government are still unable to square after years of trying.
So would the AI generated code be like:

OR

2) it looks like code, it reads like code but humans can’t figure out what it does

OR

3) it is a collection of blocks of code put in order automatically to do a certain job, that works in 90-95% of cases and…

This is all assuming all kinds of things that may or may not be true. Until you can read people's minds, validate your assumptions by communicating with people. The same argument you made can be made the other way. Maybe it's just a matter of reporting what you did, updating tickets. Maybe your manager thinks you like the attention. Maybe maybe maybe.

Pulsar definitely looks like a great combo of capabilities from Kafka + AMQP. I have been wanting to try it out with some of our stuff, but inertia/time constraints have made it hard to consider moving away from Rabbit.

I'm curious what makes it go on your "never again" list? We've definitely had our fair share of issues with it, namely -

- Really easy to misconfigure queues/exchanges, especially trying to do something like have a retry + DLQ setup.

- If you have a queue build up to a large number of messages (100 million+) for whatever reason, purging it will probably bring down the cluster.

Overall, our experience has been mostly positive. It isn't on my "never again" list, but I'm definitely wary of some parts of it and it is on my list of one of the more difficult pieces of our infrastructure to scale.
I’m not sure where you’re from in the US but I can tell you many motorcyclists are big into safety gear. Yes it’ll probably be associated with a sports bike because in general people driving hogs are doing that for the statement rather than anything else because the bikes aren’t very good (slow, poor steering, etc). I’ve never known someone on a sports bike to be wearing good safety gear just for the fashion as it’s almost always a worse look.

Mandatory 90 day password changes are still required by the IRS in the US at least.

High complexity / weird rules too - and not one password across systems as they have endless DIFERRENT login systems.

So your tax software itself will require 90 day resets for all staff using that, every interface to IRS requiring it (which means every login for little used systems). It's bonkers. My worry - how do they even correlate / track login risk given all these different systems. Google (which has never required a password rotation) seems to be able to really figure out when risk is higher (new device from a new location) and lower (same device from 5 minutes ago). That makes turning on 2 factor with a hardware device MUCH easier - because it doesn't annoy you unnecessarily.

FYI - The official line for several FAANG’s is that the week/day level of micromanagement done as part of typical performance management for underperformers is referred to as investment. And it kinda is - about 25% of the people I’ve had to do it for did well (4 if I remember correctly). Another 25% needed a clear ‘you need to improve or you’re out’ message that merely saying it to them did not provide. They needed the paperwork. They reset and got their act together right away, and the ‘micromanagement’ consisted of checking in with them for a few weeks or a month until it was clear that their trajectory was changed. Roughly another 25% had mis-fitting roles or expectations (one was a CS major, and despite interviewing for and taking a coding job, realized they hated coding about 2 kmonths in).

The remaining 25% approx. fought the whole way, refused to take any ownership of their issues, and were a huge relief for the team when they were gone - and in the environment I dealt with most of these cases? It was incredibly, incredibly hard to get rid of them. 3+ months of constant work, mandatory weekly check-ins and micromanagement, you name it.

I don’t like firing people, but I hate toxic team environments, and recognize it helps no one for someone to stay in a culture/org/team that clearly doesn’t work. I personally always put the work in, because I knew how important it was. I’ve seen many managers not do that.

I agree with you that it’s better to fire a not fit. I’ve also seen many (50%ish) turn it around after or shortly after other companies would have summarily fired them.

Big Corp, especially big tech Corp, has a giant target on it’s back and is very risk adverse to firing (justifiably so) in many cases, even if it hurts the team or the individual.

You don't have to believe it, it's been working since last October.

I understand your skepticism, but their implementation works and it's amazing.

Is it exactly like real life? Of course not. To address your points:

* Yes, you can absolutely locate sound sources within a few degrees, it's astonishingly accurate
* No, you can't really estimate sound distance. It's absolutely coming from outside your head, but all sounds like it's kind of just a generic 5 ft away or something
* Of course you can't walk around your environment blind with them, it's not trying to

You say the spatial perception isn't real, but it absolutely is. And I have no complaints about distortion -- yes obviously the waveform is different, but I perceive zero perceptual degradation in quality. It doesn't introduce any unwanted artifacts that I can notice, at least.

I highly suggest you try it with AirPods Pro and existing Apple TV+ content.

And remember, it's trying to simulate a real-life surround sound speaker setup. Not simulate real life itself. Movies aren't mastered to sound like real life, they're mastered to give a spatial audio component to the movie.
> That's why I always tend to bail out of audiophile discussion but I'll bite: why?

Disclaimer: I am definitely not an audiophile.

The low frequencies that we feel with/through our bodies feel entirely different at a non-electric live concert as compared to what we feel through speakers. No headphones can reproduce such effects. For sure, there are speakers that can reproduce such sounds faithfully, but how often do the audio production guys use such speakers, and how often do they try to control for the feeling in their bodies? Not often, I imagine.
I might be misunderstanding, but I think that PDF is about how to master your music such that it will sound good after they convert it to AAC. It doesn't actually speak to the audio that's sent to them.

Can't source anything except our own deliveries to Apple, but we've been delivering PCM since ~2018. Likely earlier, that's just when the code got moved into source control. That actually predates the copyright on that PDF.

In general, of the maybe 150-odd DSPs we deliver to, as far as I know all but a handful have us deliver PCM. The remainder have us delivering flac.

This kinda describes something I've always internally thought of as the "talkers-to-typers ratio" at companies I've worked at. Back in the early IT/dotcom days, the "appointee class" were primarily on their phones or in meetings, talking. The technocrats were at their computers, typing. I don't think that's as bright a red line these days, obviously, but I've still kept that name in my head and check in on the ratio every now and then when I'm taking a company's pulse or looking to join a new company.

Unless you have bad hearing everyone would be able to hear the difference on speakers and live unless live is defined as someone playing far away on a scene or something, no matter how expensive equipment you have. It is impossible to have it sound like musicians playing in the same room. To even come close you would need several speakers per instrument playing in multiple directions and some playing sounds of the people moving, breathing and talking too. Not even a simple snare drum being hit at intervals can be reproduced by a normal stereo setup to sound as if it were in the same room unless it's at distance. Remember, we play music at home so the definition should be an orchestra two to three meters away, not an orchestra ten to twenty meters away up at a scene.

>The hamburger menus were done to save space and reduce clutter, not out of any desire to be a tablet app.

"Save space"? That's a laugh. Reducing clutter is ill defined and probably subjective, but saving space? Saving it for what? The default window decorations, widgets, etc are bloated, not slim and compact (as they would be, if they were saving space.) Everything has huge margins, big buttons, and empty voids. "Saving space" is not a principle Gnome cares about.

Do you know what huge margins and big buttons are actually good for? Touchscreen interfaces designed for fat fingering. That's what Gnome cares about.
