I have multi-row tabs on Firefox (just requires some chrome CSS customization). I use 3 rows of 30 tabs with enough space so I can read the title.

I just open every new link a new tab. It's not uncommon, if I'm doing some kind of research, to have over 100 tabs open. In any other browser, that's basically unmanageable.
Debating how small or big they are is fruitless when their power and impact via their network effect is palpable. "Avoiding Twitter" and it's collection of extremists (and their followers that signal boost) is not possible. These people have their tweets and reactions in the news, they are constantly quoted on blogs and websites.

I'd argue the opposite that you are. Twitter extremists influence the rest of the nation and it's easy to see how the network effect has some decay on their ideas, but the thorny points remain.

At some point you have to stop treating Twitter and Twitter users like an isolation zone.
The problem with the constitution is that it provides few good legal mechanisms to enforce the provisions of the constitution. It doesn't incentivize government officers and representatives to follow the constitution. If there were clear consequences for doing things or supporting things that violate the constitution, and if there were clear procedures for indictment with a broad ability for those procedures to be started, we would be in a far beter position to protect the constitution. As it stands, lawmakers can just create unconstitutional laws that are in place for years or even decades until someone brings it all the way to the supreme court. And once they do, the lawmakers that created those laws aren't held responsible at all - no consequences for them. That must change if we want to protect the constitution.
Old-fashioned code is not necessarily bad code, although the example was; but the topic was "modern C++", not "old-fashioned C++".

Anytime you do all the extra work to write old-fashioned code, you have earned the outcome you get. The oldest-fashioned code looks just like C, which you can still write in a C++ program, if you want to. But there is no reasonable temptation to. Good modern code is equally fast, often faster, and more easily written, understood, and maintained.
> I think that's a mantra that applies a little better to Linux than it does MacOS.

You might be right. But Linux vs MacOS argument is meaningless. For me it's "Linux laptop" vs "MacOS laptop", and there's a huge difference in 2021.

I think the idea is that making charges & arrests public keeps the system transparent, and makes it harder for the government to disappear people or otherwise do crazy despotic stuff.

In practice I'm not convinced it was net-beneficial before the Internet, and I'm almost certain it's not in an Internet-equipped world.

Considering this is highly illegal - shouldn't someone be arrested over this?
I’ve never heard of this. Anywhere I could read more on this?
we should be far far more tolerant of people fucking up.

Absolutely. And the Law is not perfect, not perfectly applied, nor unchanging.

I'd say we can demonstrate our collective tolerance through efforts like the right to be forgotten and disallowing criminal record questions.

It feels like the perception of how much the average member of society transgresses its rules is totally out of sync with reality.

Are you talking about everybody speeding, or something else?
I can't find evidence of this "routinely collected ransoms ten or twenty times larger than what they got from Colonial" claim. Colonial is rumored to have paid out ~$4mm. Every source about Darkside seems to cite a "between $200,000 and $2 million for the file decryption key" range. This would put the Colonial ransom far above their typical payout.

I don't understand the mechanics of this, making arrests public prevents secret detention? Do we expect a police force who would like to illegally arrest people would care about adhering to the administrative process of publishing such arrests?
> Ask any sysadmin who had a fleet of Macbooks during this update cycle: it was a nightmare and a half.

That’s not saying much, everything is always terrible and it was all better under Lion/Snow Leopard/Tiger/OS 8. The 4 computers I had to update did it just fine.

> Brew and Macports both suck. If you use Linux on a daily basis, then you're well familiar with what a good package manager looks like: apt and Pacman are both good examples.

Indeed. From my experience either work great (I use CentOS and OpenSuse daily, alongside macOS). The only bits of software I’ve ever needed which weren’t on Macports were quantum chemistry codes, which I wanted to compile myself anyway to configure them properly and avoid MPI issues. At some point I had to compile GCC myself to track the development branch, but I haven’t had to do that in quite a while now. So yeah, your points are valid, but they still do their job, and you don’t have to rely on them for OS updates, so they cannot compromise stability.

> The ball is in Apple's court then. If they want to brag about being a real Unix system, the least they can do is ship modern Unix tools with their OS. Ironically, MacOS is the least compatible Unix system around.

They haven’t bragged about it in a decade. Besides, if you know UNIX, you realise that this kind of shenanigans is just life, and that there is quite a bit of variance in the specific implementation of user land software. Your problem is not that it is a sub-par UNIX, it’s that it isn’t Linux (which isn’t UNIX). The BSDs also lack most of the GNU tools by default, and so did most other UNIXes when they were still around.

> I mean, the M1 Macbook Air is sitting in my desk as we speak.

That’s fine. I didn’t accuse you of lying, and you are entitled to your preferences. I just pointed out that your arguments were not great, and indeed often heard from people who never really used Macs.

> My guff is well founded, I think: as the most valuable company in the world, Apple has an obligation to provide at least some level of modularity in their ecosystem.

This might be your problem. Whatever their market cap, they don’t really have an obligation to align with your opinions. I understand that you’d like it, but what kind of moral imperative would there be?

> Otherwise, the precedent they set will continue to influence every market we can conceive, until our concept of "ownership" is poisoned to mean a subscription service.

How is this related to their business policy? I strongly dislike their foray into services, but other than that they sell devices, not subscriptions. Your devices are yours, nobody is going to come and take them.

> It's driven by greed, and makes me sick. It always comes at the cost of the user, and the declining greatness of MacOS is a perfect example of how Apple's hunger for money is poisoning their product line.

Right, so you have an ideological problem and that’s why you sound like that. Well, if I can recommend anything, it would be to keep using Thinkpads, they are good devices and Linux is great as well. That way you can completely ignore whatever happens on the Apple side and be happy.
> You're not going to meet that kind of abrupt and early resistance on the path to becoming a doctor

It's much more inclusive indeed. If you can afford the mandatory completely unrelated undergrad you need to have completed to even apply to med school and the travel fees to attend your in-person interviews of course.
But if you're a monopoly (a competing pipeline isn't likely to spring into existence any time soon) and the courts aren't inclined to impose particularly harsh penalties, business as usual will remain your optimal moneymaking strategy.

I very much disagree. Yes the constitution has been violated many times. But without the constitution, its tenants would be violated constantly everywhere in the country. Nothing is perfect, and the outcomes brought the constitution being imperfect is no indictment of the document.
>Apple being actively hostile with the default coreutils requiring you to layer multiple third party tools just to get a modern version of awk and grep

This is a pretty trivial complaint. It's three lines pasted into the shell available on like a hundred blogs on the internet to update your coreutils. If you are at the point where you need a modern awk or grep and you absolutely cannot do with what is installed already, I would be shocked if you didn't already know about brew and have them installed.
WSL1 is still a thing. And you can't compare it to wine. WSL1 is a masterpiece and wine is, quite understandably, problematic. If only because they have to reverse engineer it.
This looks very nice. Most importantly, the profile isn't too high. I have a Keychron K6 and Vortexgear Pok3r. The Pok3r is about right even though it is a little taller than this keyboard. The K6 is far too tall to be comfortable. I think the price isn't for a programmable keyboard with swappable switches. PBT keycaps are also much better than ABS, another fault of the K6.

These days I'm typing on a Kinesis Advantage2 for ergonomic reasons and I just can't see myself going back to a 60% or 65% keyboard. I hope System76 considers making an ergo with the features of this board in the future.
I think you actually have that backwards. You can't ban public mugshots and have a free and open society. If arrests can be secret then there is no executive or judicial oversight.

But you can make charged and convicted statuses a protected class, and ban its consideration in any context as has been done for other protected classes. After all, if we believe that the process of justice rectifies wrongs, then the matter should be closed when the process has been completed. If we do not believe that the process of justice functionally rehabilitates and fairly rectifies, such that consideration of history beyond the closure of a matter is necessary, then what exactly is the aim of that process?

We could also educate the public about the purpose of the justice system, moral complexity in the assignment of responsibility in the light of historical/social/environmental/economic factors, psychology of criminality and rehabilitation, and the frequency of successful rehabilitation and subsequent significant contribution.

Pixels aren't the problem, the behavior of dehumanization is the problem.

This sounds more like a policy decision. Any serious company is heavily limiting how customer data is accessed. Lots of them have special rooms, with heavy physical security, where you cannot even bring electronic watch, not even talking about your work phone or normal work laptop. And those companies often run on Linux.

Open source doesn’t make stuff magically secure. Remember heartbleed? Or how easy it’s was proven (by sketchy research, sure, but that’s secondary point) to bring malicious code into THE open source project, Linux kernel?

Believing that by simply using open source you have secure infra, and that by using Windows is naive view by people who never seriously worked on security for big companies.

I say all of that as a heavy Linux supporter. Linux is better, yes. But it’s not a magic bullet. I’ve worked in Windows shops that had extremely good security, and Linux shops that could’ve been hacked by someone after one day classes of how to be a hacker.
I’ll disagree then because Corp Dev, like most tags, can mean something else like a group at a corporation responsible for strategic decisions to grow and restructure its business, establish strategic partnerships, and/or achieve organizational excellence.

That equation describes a curve in 2 dimensional space with no differences between points with each point having particular time and space coordinates. And you can even resolve it to express time as a function of space. But we do not interpret that as a flow of space.

Maybe. This isn't a political target though, this is criminals wanting money. At most the governments gets a bit of tax money: it just isn't worth it even before you consider that the gangs who can pull this off may turn against the governments. Governments may want the types of people on staff who can pull off these attacks, but they are careful on who gets targeted, and money isn't the goal.

Vietnam doesn't like the US for historical reasons, but overall they want to play on the world stage. Also US relations have been thawing over the years. I'm inclined to think they see it as to their advantage to help out.

Similar with China - they want the ability to get at the US, but they are more likely to reserve it for something that matters to them. Money doesn't really matter as much as they get plenty sending the US cheap plastic toys. Though if China declares war next week this could be their first attack (highly unlikely, it is possible though)
We're going to complain about neural interface design like we do about web design. What are the best mappings?

> All the customization doesn't offset the trouble that desktop Linux can bring.

To be fair, those that desire that typically don't use file explorers.

I personally find them a hastle when they must be used, such as some websites for file upload have no easy way around using a file picker, perhaps they are much more convenient on MacOS, but I generally find it more convenient to use a shell command and simply provide the file to upload by way of an argument to the command. Modern shells also typically have advanced history search functionality to quickly enter a file path that one has already used in the past for something.
Interesting. Does your company not withhold shares for taxes when they vest for you? I thought this was required.

Meaning - your second option isn't really an option.

Your company withholds some shares when they vest (usually less than you actually pay in taxes). Then, regardless of whether you sell or hold - at the end of the year - the IRS comes after the rest of the "earned income" taxes you owe.

IFF you do hold the shares - for say another 2 years - you pay only capital gains on your stock appreciation for those 2 years (if there is any). You already paid "earned income" tax on the shares the year you received them from your company.
The sad reality currently is that if you want ergonomic design, mechanical switches, and customizable open source firmware, you're going to have to pay for it. The Moonlander is basically mid-tier in terms of price for a ergonomic mechanical keyboard.

For what it's worth I'm very happy with my Moonlander, but I would have had a hard time convincing myself to bite the bullet and pay for the keyboard myself if my employer hadn't offered to cover the bill.

I'm glad I did though, it made a big difference for my achey, unhappy hands.
most of the popular swipe dating apps in the west added this feature during the quarantine, although to be fair it's still preferred to meet in person or do a facetime.
Ah, right, good point. The first time is about the destination, perhaps more than the journey. Although with further thought, in those scenarios, there is a meta-journey of finding the way to the top (like difficulties of getting resources, or finding paths, etc), which is probably the real journey that first time around.

Absolutely. When you run on 'just about' money, people get creative,they come up with novel ideas( tech, marketing,etc). When you get tons and tons of money and most of it is not yet needed,quite often it gets spent on absolutely stupid things+ the mentality changes too,as you no longer care about any costs
> Macbooks are solid laptops. Every other laptop I've owned hasn't stood the test of time as well as my Mac.

If you are American.

In the UK, I find the keyboard layout bewildering. It is not ANSI and it isn't ISO. It's some other thing, with keys that don't exist in any other English speaking keyboard. They even hide # behind a special alt key combo.

Other things about it are good, but there are some design decisions which are just plain wrong.

[Edit] I received downvotes, so as someone who uses a UK Macbook Pro I just have to reference this because they layout pisses me off.

Here is an Apple link to prove that this is real.

https://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4668/as-images.apple...

In the UK ISO layout, the `~#` key is normally where the `|\` key is on the Apple keyboard, and the backtick which is down by the Z is to the left of the 1. We get range and paragraph next to the 1, which is horrible.

The thing that makes me concerned about the build of this 2019 i7 Macbook Pro is that is is always extremely hot. I'm only running one 4k screen off it but it is regularly running with fans on. I've had Macs in the past, and they haven't been quite as noisy as this. I'm sure its mostly due to crappy Intel hardware which is why they are being dumped, but this is a Mac and I can only judge them on what they sell.

My main problem with tabs is that they function as an additional window manager, meaning I'm constantly using two window managers at the same time, and getting confused between them. For example, I can use Ctrl+Tab to cycle through browser tabs and Alt+Tab to cycle through windows. I can't use either to cycle through everything I have open.

To carry the metaphor, iteration is not just about refactoring and optimizing, it’s mostly about debugging. Finding what isn’t working and trying something new. I wrote about how I use my programming logic to “debug my art”.* The same can be applied to writing.

It's the theoretical key question. The practical one is more like "how's the cost benefit curve looking like, especially in the beginning?".

My personal completely unscientific musings on the topic ended with buying and cutting up a couple of vacuum cleaner hepa filters, thus obtaining a shocking quantity of filter cloth, which then can simply be taped over the standard AC mesh filter. AFAIK, "hepa" ACs don't even cover the full surface - they just have a patch of hepa, which just ensures the air inside gets circulated through it eventually - being recirculated, there's not that much of a hurry. I'd recommend low-end filters, you don't want to remove virus particles but much larger clusters of virus+saliva.

So personally I'm guessing a rather high impact for very low cost / low effort changes.

Great question. Unless there are consequences, some will simply ignore it and do what they want.
I can see where you're coming from, it does read like "MUST support up to 100 characters (and MAY support more of you choose).

But honestly I think it's a bad practice to build the "may" part, because it's not explicit. The person who wrote the spec just as easily could have intended it to be "MUST support up to 100 (and may not go over 100)". So by not setting a bound you're gambling with your implementation being rejected, but setting a bound at 100 satisfies both possible "implied clauses" of the requirement and should not be rejected.
