I can't help but notice that most of these flags seem to solve self-inflicted problems that don't occur with plaintext logfiles. Why have a special grep flag instead of, yaknow, piping through grep? (A: because journalctl is slow). Why special flags to load different categories of log? (A: because all the logs are mixed together in a big blob). Why a special flag to load logs from a container, and another different(!) special flag to load logs from a mounted system? (A: because journalctl throws away the logfile metaphor).

I don't know what "boot indices" are, but your other commands with plaintext are as follows:

dmesg or cat /var/log/whatever

grep <pattern> /var/log/whatever

cat /mnt/host/var/log/whatever

cat /mnt/container/var/log/whatever

Did you read the study? I did. It aggregates scores of other studies with orthogonal datasets, widely disparate abstracts, and what appear to be dramatically different outcomes, then applies what appear to be arbitrary and AFAIK undefined models to achieve its probably unfalsifiable outcomes.

Not saying the conclusions they came to are wrong. I’m saying you can’t possibly determine whether it’s right from the data they present. I’m not sure they could replicate their own conclusion if you sat down at a desk with them.
I always wondered why anyone would do this. IMHO modality and shells just don't get along well. Besides that, readline-like bindings are both good enough and you're likely to encounter them in the wild when working with ssh, database prompts, and so on.
Firstly, thanks for your detailed reply.

> However its not that "pgp rides on email" it is that "email encryption rides on pgp"

Doesn't it go both ways though? The web-of-trust seems email focused, keyservers seem email focused. 'gpg --gen-key' straight up asks you to encode your email into the metadata. I guess bootstrapping on an existing network is always a pain point.

What I was trying to highlight were the issues faced by 'partial adoption' of encryption, namely:

A) It being cumbersome in the MUA and therefore likely to be ignored/disabled/complained about

B) The myriad of ways for an OPSEC failure, or in common parlance, clicking the wrong button.

If PGPMAIL or somesuch had eclipsed plain-old email, as Signal/WhatsApp have eclipsed SMS, then these issues could be resolved at the platform level.
Yes, I see it. Maybe you need to update?
This was a really interesting project.

1. The community solved it really fast, within a day or three, but a single programmer solved it even faster [1]. You could also argue that it was the month or so [2] making the website that led to the solution.

2. It was really common to use Minecraft to visualize the solution [3]. I think this speaks to the benefit of tools that make it very easy to manipulate and visualize a system [4].

I've always thought that the existence or lack of concise words that describe such things (or don't) says a lot about a culture.

The word exists in Japanese because it's such a common problem in their work culture, and it's so frequently talked about they needed a word for it instead of a string of words everytime they wanted to convey the meaning of working someone quite literally to death (stress levels so high they impact your health to the point of even causing death). It doesn't take a shovel to do these, you can abuse and stress your body in many ways to cause death, we just think of literal more clear physical damage from the past because it's easy to understand "back breaking" labor. We dont have "heart breaking" labor (physically and emotionally speaking), even though we really do: conditions that can lead to heart attacks and all sorts of other problems.

In the US, it seems like we're getting to a point we need such words because people are starting to talk about ridiculous conditions more--it's becoming less a stigma of being 'lazy' and more awareness of labor abuse is on the rise.

I'm convinced "burnt out" is a more modern trend and is often misused from the original meaning of the phrase because of a lack of appropriate terms to describe the overwork trends we're seeing more and more in the US. Such terms may also be lagging due to a lack of acknowledgement of these problems by some from factors like stigma or self-doubt.

Apple TV seems oddly missing in that list.

Slack's Void: The gap between unread and urgent messages
Talking of perfect and simple past you might be missing the "fact" that for parts of Germany (Upper Bavaria in my case) the simple past simply doesn't exist. At all. (With the exception of "to be" where the perfect doesn't seem to exist). I know, you can argue that away by calling it a dialect but even though I kinda lost my dialect in all the years at school and at work, this has persisted insofar that is still sounds wrong if someone says "Ich ging spazieren."
This had been rumored for about a month, but that it was a FREE upgrade was completely unexpected. We thought this would be a higher tier.
You can still “buy” albums digitally from Apple, and they are lossless, as they have been for almost-ever. The caveat being that you need a device capable of decoding ALAC files.

Did you mean Recursion and Iteration?

Some recursion could be translated into iteration only if there is stack managed by hands. It decreases readability significantly.

Simplest example: Ackermann function.

And it works both way: some algorithms are better read as iteration.

meanwhile, it's brought the UK rail system back from a near breaking point to something that might be a manageable level for the future.

Ferrying 5 million people into and back out of London was not a long term solution. People are commuting up to 50 miles to get to work in London, and the platforms and the system have all been at saturation for several years now. With the reduction in use we might get back to a sane level of utilisation, where I won't have to stand up, squished between 20 other people on my 2x45 minute journeys to and from London.

From the article:

> J Balvin said: [...] With Lossless, everything in the music is going to sound bigger and stronger but more importantly, it will be better quality. [...]

There have been tests showing we cannot hear the difference between minimally lossy audio (e.g. mp3 320kbps) and lossless. But Balvin can. And it sounds "bigger and stronger".

The extra quality of lossless is nice when mixing/remixing the sound, as the inaudible loss of quality with minimally lossy audio (e.g. mp3 320kbps) is audible when the sound is sped up or slowed down.

But, and this the article does not mention, is not what Apple Music wants you to do. The formats will be proprietary with DRM.

I prefer FLAC/OggVorbis/etc when it comes to music. But then I like to be able to mix/remix.
You get lossless if you play it through Plex.
Slowing down light in a medium does not change the force or the speed of propagation of gravity through that medium. I mean I haven't seen anyone prove otherwise in a Bose-Einstein condensate specifically, but there's no reason yet to think it would be different.

To be clear, human driving that is augmented by “AI” (lane following, collision detection, blind spot warnings, etc) is much safer than human driving alone.

>> I feel as if the M1 may have been designed around a detailed and careful look at how computers and compliers work and then designed a CPU around that rather than the other way around.

This is the position that Apple have set up for themselves with their philosophy and process. It would seem that Intel and AMD have to play a very conservative game with compatibility and building a product that increments support for x86 and x64. They can't make some sweeping change because they have to think about Linux and Windows.

Apple own their ecosystem and can move everything at once (to a large degree.) This also gives an opportunity to design how the components should interact. Incompatibility won't be heavily penalized unless really important apps get left behind. The improvements also incentivize app makers to be there since their developer experience will improve.
I think this comes down to an amount of perceived bad faith. Amazon’s goal, like Facebook and Google, is to collect as much as it can about everyone to sell more things. That makes anything like this feel nefarious.

Apple of course wants to sell you all the things, but they put privacy first, at least publicly, and don’t collect this information in order to do so.

How much is perception vs. reality? Not sure. But it doesn’t really matter.

Already doing all that stuff, got my numbers way down! Blood glucose averages about 102 from 188 the last 8 weeks, weight down 30 lbs. And thanks. I was exaggerating a tiny bit for O.P. I literally was in that position within the last month. I seem to be over the hump but I am still ready to give up the house should I fall back into a long decline, as addicts can.

P.S. for me intermittent fasting turns out to be absolutely irrelevant to my blood glucose. What does work amazingly well is ruthlessly deleting most but not all carbs from my diet. Incredibly, my carb cravings have greatly subsided for the first time in 50 years. I imagine this could change but that’s what works now.
Since most of the music is consumed on headphones, I'm not sure if spatial music will appeal to many. What I would really like to see in purchased music is individual soundtracks for each instrument/vocal (which I can mix as per my taste) and one default mix made as per the producer's taste.

This would not only help with music practice, karaoke,
Sorry, I think some of them are stupid.

For example: One reason I said we could increase sales is that repeatedly we suggested putting a menu list further from the order window so people could see and decide what to order before we asked for their order. Management refused to even listen. Often someone would drive up and then spend time reading the menu before deciding what to order.

Compare this to my local Dairy Queen, they have two menu displays. One right beside the order intercom and another two car lengths earlier, I often see people when they drive to the order area give their order right away because they know what they want, they already had time to make up their minds.

The fact is, in most places management sucks at their job.

Except that Deep Learning is equal parts data & model. And he wasn't saying that the data was bad, he was saying that it turns out that the data collected turned out to be so context-dependent that it wasn't usable with even a small change in that context. That's not "bad data", that's "the real world".
> At worst you could have have a limited vnc session or something.

I don't know specifically about Gameboy but this approach has been tried by PS1 emulators and it doesn't work. There are two main problems, computer and internet speed variations will eventually make both games go out of sync, and if using the clock or some external data for the seed of the game's rng then both players will be getting different things while in game (depending on the game, could be different Tetris blocks, different bonuses, different weapons). I discovered this while trying to play a multiplayer PS1 game over the LAN and the emulator did just that, send keystrokes to the other computer.
(I originally posted a reply that remarked that we can buy Apple Lossless music from iTMS - however I did a quick check and to my surprise Apple still doesn't offer DRM-free lossless content on iTMS: you can only get Apple Lossless by ripping your own CDs. The "Apple Digital Masters" products are not actually "masters": they're still compressed with lossy encoding: https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/7/20758633/apple-digital-mas... - I guess this explains why services like Tidal and Pono are still around.

Knowing Apple, I think they probably wanted to offer lossless but the record companies are still paranoid about lossless copies... philistines.
Alas, ALAC
Yes, it applies to everyone. I don't know about the incentives, I think it really depends on your management chain. Different managers emphasize different priorities, like in any job, you need to read the room and figure out what really matters to your boss (and their boss) and what is "nice to have".

I developed a lot of tools for my own use and tried to monetize/promote some of them with no success.

I had an idea to build an anonymous bookmark sharing website [0]. I thought it would be useful for people to share links around without having to sign up, and even choose to collaborate with others anonymously/share with readonly permission. For example, teachers could share class resources with the site, update the list as they find new readings, and students can access the link anytime to see the latest list. It was a single-focused web app. As far as I know, I'm the only user, but I still keep my bookmarks there to share links between my devices.

I built my own SQL query builder in C# [1] because I disliked ORMs. It didn't sound right to me to create another overhead using a dedicated class in my code. I liked plain SQLs, but as the number of operations increased, my code quickly became messy.

I spent a week or so during holidays developing the core functions of the library and opensourced it. Not many people used it because I guess my target audience was people who use plain SQLs in their code. These people probably prefer minimal tooling, so they avoid third-party libraries. Although I stopped maintaining it after switching to Python for work, I still think it's more organized than having plain SQLs lying around in the code.

My tinsmith workaholic grandfather had his first heart attack in his mid 50's and I've been watching him lose metaphorical and sometimes literal pieces of himself due to his poor cardiovascular health for the last 30-ish years.

So does this mean that the two anecdotes balance out, or that it's possible we shouldn't consider single cases as data?
I had a look and I don't believe that's the case - are you referring to "Digital Masters"? If so, then those are actually encoded with lossy encoding.

Actually, while not trivial, it is possible to simulate lower latencies than actually exist in reality. What the emulator does is keep a buffer of previous states for some arbitrary length of time (say, 10 frames) then, upon receiving the data, it can roll back the state to when it was supposed to have received it, add the data to the state, and run it forward to catch back up to where it was.

This is a technique used by some fighting games that have internet play, and is also used in emulators to deal with input latency on modern TVs.
Maybe in your experience this doesn't happen, or maybe we have different thresholds for what we consider abuse, but it's definitely a thing for a lot of people.

Also, overuse of reflection doesn't happen overnight, or only because of inexperienced programmers.

In most complex projects it happens because someone wants to add more complex abstractions that exist in other languages to help with the work and to reduce programmer error and the only way to do it is via Reflection and Empty Interfaces, or maybe via templates.
You may have missed this footnote at the bottom:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple-designed_processors
Agreed - Spotify's UI is bad and getting worse, and its quality is meh, but its discovery features are top notch and it has the biggest catalog.

I have audiophile equipment - $900 MSRP Hifiman headphones, discrete DAC and amp - and I tried Tidal to see if I could hear a difference. 99% of the time, I can't... and Tidal's MQA format is questionable anyway. (Not sure about Apple's "ALAC" either.) I used a playlist importer to get my playlists to Tidal, and about 90% of my tracks made it - with some obvious mismatches/songs not found for unclear reasons. (There were also, in fairness, a few songs Tidal did have which the import tool missed.)

But Tidal just doesn't seem to have the radio and discovery features I use to find new music. If I used it, I'd have to constantly sync all my tracks (by paying for an external service) and risk losing some of them, for an audio quality difference that even most audiophiles seem to admit is negligible unless you're in ideal listening conditions with a track you know extremely well.

So even though they're constantly making things worse, I will stick with Spotify for now.

Compounder Graveyard: Valeant&#8217;s Effort
I’m not sure if this is answering any of my questions. Am I missing something?
On the business side, it's great to see Apple continue to invest in value delivery. For folks who have Apple affinity but who want lossless, this should be a no brainer. It's a much simpler (and somewhat cheaper) pricing model than streaming services with lossless/lossy tiers, which ought to pluck a few tenths of a percent of customers away from those competitors as well.

In terms of art, I'm in a kind of wait-and-see mode. Recordings have been doing simple panning for a long time. Artists already have quite a powerful set of tools for creating a soundstage, but I'm curious to see how they take advantage of an even more sophisticated medium.

At a meta level, what's interesting about this is that, although these standards can be adopted by anyone, Apple is (for now at least) basically verticalizing music production. They can pitch to artists that X% of Apple Music customers have spatial-audio-capable devices, Y% have capable headphones, and they can 'sell' the value of the additional Atmos/spatial production work as a function of a well-defined TAM rather than in a vacuum.

If the art side is actually good, fans have a reason to stay in the Apple ecosystem — to hear a better, more true-to-intent version of the music.

The crux of this is: do these features actually produce innovation in music production that artists and fans agree is a way of elevating the form? If not, it's a dud; if so, Apple has a big head start.
I'm more of a nut ;) but I think anyone selling a service like this, or building any kind of front-end framework, has even more of a responsibility than individual site owners to make their stuff accessible, because any issues are multiplied out across all of your customers, and ultimately affect any of their customers with accessibility needs.

Depending on the juristiction your customers operate in, any accessibility issues could also expose them to legal liability for non-compliance with various laws (eg ADA in the US, the Web Accessibility Directive in the EU for public sector bodies)
