This is really tricky because of course if I point to my non technical friends and family who use my Matrix instance, it's possible to say well that's just because they want to talk to the technical people on there, except that's the entire point of the comment you're replying to: the technical few act as the opinionated minority that can sway the majority once a switching cost is low enough. I think it's possible to believe both that this is a potential mechanism for change and that as you say, any victory is far away.
Those interested in 90s skateboarding should check out the 2014 documentary All This Mayhem, about the Pappas brothers, Tas and Ben.

It documents the rivalry between Tony Hawk and the Pappas boys in the 90s, and the conjecture over Hawk’s and Tas Pappas’ attempts to be the first to land a 900 spin. It draws a striking contrast between the clean-cut, media/corporate-friendly international superstar-in-the-making Hawk, vs the very raw, abrasive Pappas boys from a troubled home in one of the most downtrodden outer suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

Very different characters, but equal for skating talent, and the Pappas boys had several tournament wins over Hawk.

Sadly the Pappas boys’ lives spiraled into drug-fueled hell and wound up in very dark places, whilst Hawk rode the wave to the top and stayed there.

It is co-produced by James Gay-Rees and others who worked on Senna, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Amy and Palio, so it’s well-made.

This is not a dig at you, but describing even relatively humane processes like this to folks who aren't in tech will get you some real WTF reactions. Hours of homework to even get an actual interview, for example. "Whiteboarding" sessions in which one often has very little idea what will be asked about in advance (yours may not have this problem, but, for all that's shitty about FAANG-style interviews, at least it's pretty clear what sort of thing you need to be ready for—lots of other companies seem to want to keep even hints at the specifics of their interview process hush-hush like if it's not a goddamn pop-quiz drawing from potentially all of software development, trivia about languages and systems, and CS, then it won't work). The sheer length of the interview process is often surprising to people outside our industry, even. Multi-step and a single one of those steps may involve being grilled for half a day or more? That alone will get you some puzzled or alarmed looks from non-tech folks.
Bloomberg says not too radical changes for the iPad for iOS 15 (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-22/apple-pla...) but that doesn't preclude Apple from releasing Pro apps that make full use of the M1.
So encouraging playing a sport in a safe way === school marm nannying?

People get CTE from extreme sports, Dave Mirra being a famous example. I think playing the sport safely is something that should be encouraged.
I love these old jRPGs. I couldn't have told you the plot, but I remember the mechanics of this and FF2 very well.

Modern rpgs are truly fantastic, but I don't enjoy them nearly as much.
My feelings exactly. I'm quite excited by Apple Silicon. I have been hearing stories from users of the M1 that almost sound like science-fiction (Rosetta 2 performance being one).

The M1X/M2 is going to be pretty awesome, because it will reflect the "paved bare spots" worn by the M1 being in the wild.

This means that the designers will have been able to aggregate performance and usage data, to tune the processor for environments outside the lab.

Also, most software vendors will have released Apple Silicon native versions of their applications, or tuned their non-native apps to perform well in Rosetta.

Definitely getting one, when they become available.
Still seems like a nice form factor to me. If you get a text you can just switch to that and type as you normally would. When a phone is strapped to a controller it seems a bit more cumbersome but I think it comes down to personal preference.

This mode only adds a feature and takes nothing away so in my mind its just a nice addition.
In the US, perhaps. In Europe you see quite a few cars that size.
In many countries the parallel construction is to protect illegal police methods. They torture a criminal in an abandoned shed, or threaten to have his mother evicted, to get his list of associates. Then they cook up things like “fingerprints in a cheese photo” to make themselves seem very clever and also keep their methods concealed.
That is one BS argument right there.

Even with all the problems with the US justice system, I'm pretty sure most citizens actually prefer for it to work the way it does currently, rather than not at all.

And I'd rather see Snowden face the music than defect to the Russian intelligence services. There is no way he can refuse cooperation with them. I'm not even entirely convinced that Russia had no role in his actions prior to his defection, or that he really intended to go some place else.
This sounds great but what you think is "common" probably isn't.

When I was validating myself for Amazon Prime Student, I literally had Amazon refuse to accept my student email in the form first.m.last@myschool.edu because there were two '.'s in the mailbox portion. I had to send an email to support and it was eventually dutifully fixed.

And that's not an uncommon format for, you know, school emails. And that's an Amazon engineer who should have known.

I imagine there's developers who think "domain.tld" is the only thing valid to put in the domain portion, and that's going to fail with "domain.co.uk", or uncommon TLDs, or other perfectly valid constructs. And sure "it's only x% of the users" but it's a pain in the ass if you're that user. You need to be reasonably permissive.

(but on the other hand "myname@..." is not valid either, and that will fail and cost you money as well... hence leading us back to 'just follow the spec')

I keep hearing about walled gardens, and not how it’s merely a choice among many. Linux works on tablets and phones. What’s that? It’s a janky mess?

Maybe developers could stop looking at the green grass on Apples side of the fence and bring that polish to open-source.

But I imagine that will simply devolve into the mess it already is, with flame wars, and figurative genital punching to prove how hardcore one is for the obfuscated C they cobbled together.

There was time when Linux distributions were thought of as walled gardens. Cobble together just the right collection of source for you! Don’t let Red Hat control your mind! SystemD is a cage for your soul!

Meanwhile, Apple just got the damn job done and moved on.

If it’s a choice between masochistic elitism or filtered content. Hmmm…
I once had a site _silently strip_ the + from signup email. So when I submitted `myname+yoursite@gmail.com` as my email address, they started sending mail to `mynameyoursite@gmail.com`. Madness.
I have experienced some shocks from ground loops, where the shock was only perceptible when the current density was small enough. If I placed my whole palm on the conductor, I couldn't feel it, but if I placed just my finger tip on the edge, I could.

That was an electrical shock that in my naive opinion does not pose a cardiac risk.

I imagine that there is some judgement call to make about what is "electrical shock", and when does it pose a cardiac risk.

If all is going well, shocks are rare, and so I could imagine as a rule "if you felt a shock, go to the doctor". But in some [yes, of course, unfortunate, avoidable, and unacceptable] contexts, a rule like that might not be followed. That is why I was wondering about what guidance electrician's unions provide.
VAT isn't paid by corporations which shelter vast amounts of wealth whilst doing very little real trading, and is the same whether the corporation selling the goods is very low or high margin.
Does this mean reducing taxes to 0%, so that corporations don't need to jump through hoops to get the same effect in other jurisdictions?

> Especially since Apple markets the iPad as a "computer"

Do they? I don’t follow their ads closely, but I can’t find the word “computer” on https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/ (given the 8tneractivity on that page, it still may be there, but I tried looking hard, and couldn’t find it), and they have an explicit ad saying “iPad Pro — Your next computer is not a computer” (https://youtube.com/watch?v=09_QxCcBEyU)

Can you point to that marketing?
Almost all of the information supporting a lab-leak has been available for nearly a year. There isn't "newly surfaced evidence", it's people finally starting to take previously surfaced evidence seriously.
Do you have any recs in North Seattle? Me and my wife live in Lake City and have been looking for a good (need not be the best ;) ) Mexican place.
On the other hand, pushing too much the tax burden to one payer (corporation, shareholder, employee, consumer) creates strong incentives for tax optimization for that payer. If tax burden is spread over many different taxes will decrease profitability of dodging each individual tax.
It's motion blur, evident from the blurring of the letters. Unless the police added motion blur to the entire photo (why?), they would appear to be stretching the truth.
I don't see this being fixed on an industry-wide level except by union-/regulator-mandated limits on hours worked per week. So, I don't see this being fixed (and wouldn't want it to be, as the cure would be worse than the disease)

On a personal level, I don't think it's too bad. There are plenty of places where you can make $300k working 30-40 hour weeks
> Just drag it where you want while pressing CMD? I know it's not cut but it prevents a lot of errors I think.

That requires you to have both places visible on the screen at the same time. It's also a mouse+keyboard interaction, the least usbale kind of interaction.
The police may have downsampled before releasing and the website may have downsampled before posting to save bandwidth.

I was unable to reproduce your success. I just tested in GEdit, it failed, just as I expected.

I could move the file, but this broke the association with the open document. I saved to ~/test.txt, then moved it to ~/Documents/test.txt, and saved a second time. The second time I saved it, it saved the file to ~/test.txt, which is incorrect and useless. Now I have two files, but no action I took as a user should have created two files--moving a file should not create a second copy, and saving an open file should not have created a second copy, so why should moving and saving create a second copy?

On Windows, you typically get an error message, because you can't move an open file. (Not all applications keep the file open, so this doesn't always happen.) Personally, I think that enforcing exclusive locks is the worst, most significant design flaw in the entire history of the Windows operating system.

Only on macOS do you get the nice, expected behavior... it does not matter if you move a file while it is open in an application. When a file is open in an application, the open file is associated with the file, not with the pathname. You can rename a file in the Finder or reorganize a bunch of files in the Finder (or do the same in the terminal) and it does not matter whether those files are open in any applications. You can reorganize files in the Finder, and then when you save open documents, they save to the new location, not the old one. If you rename files in the Finder or rename a bunch of files with a script in the terminal, the windows for open documents you renamed will update their titles to match the new names.

The problem here is that (opinion time) the standard filesystem API is a really terrible interface. What you want is some way to create durable references to files. File handles can do that, but only while your application is open. Paths can do it while your application is closed, but the reference is lost if you move the file. On macOS, there's a standard API which provides something more persistent than file handles and more durable than paths. I think they're called "bookmarks" now, but they used to be called "aliases".
The ruling party released a fake document, suggesting that the opposition is engaging in subversive activities. It was fact checked by various independent agencies and found to be a fake document. Twitter added a "manipulated media" label to those tweets. Delhi police, which is directly controlled by the Indian government raided the office of Twitter. It is not done with the intention of finding anything. It is to harass and to "send a message" that such acts won't be tolerated.
> benefits to people who pay very little tax

This is extremely misinformed.

Social Security Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance are entitlement programs, and by far account for the vast majority of this budget (along with the Medicare that most of these individuals are entitled to have). You do not have a right to it, and you are obligated to participate in the insurance program by paying taxes. They are payed for by the individual worker and in some cases, partially, by the employer, via FICA taxes deducted from your US paycheck. Other taxes may be withheld from your paycheck, which lower income individuals will get money back from the IRS for, upon filing their taxes. But, this is not the case for FICA taxes.

The issue is that actuaries have not properly estimated the costs of things like Medicare, and then Congress has really never updated the tax code to account for proper FICA taxes for future projections.
> not having that service, is worse.

Is it really? We could eliminate entire sectors of the federal government and your average person would have no clue. Why do we need 18 intelligence agencies? Why do we need 13 carrier battle groups? What, exactly, do our 100+ overseas bases do for the average tax payer?

None of it makes sense in a supposedly representative government where those who slave away and pay for it get a say in how things are run, or where their collective effort is spent. The current distribution however makes perfect sense if said representative government is an illusion and the taxpayers instead really work to supply the whims of an unelected and unaccountable few. They want to play the great game, and you're gonna go to work to pay for it or we'll send men with guns to your house to take you away. This underlying threat of violence underpins every aspect of our civilization.
This was a great read!

It's not material to the point, but I think there's a small typo on line 12 of the second "Finishing the example" snippet: it looks like

should be

To me attaching it to source file actually makes sense. In either scenario paste results in the same thing at the destination, it is only the behaviour of the source that changes.

(Sure, under the hood nothing different happens at the beginning, but semantically I think Windows makes sense here)
I actually run into this all the time with passwords using a password manager. Lots of places will accept the creation of a password that's long/complex/etc but then when you actually try to log in with it it won't accept a long password, won't accept certain characters, will silently truncate it and throw an invalid password error, etc.

Sometimes disabling Javascript will fix it, sometimes not. I occasionally have resort to using "I forgot my password" until I figure out what the actual underlying requirements of the passwords are.
> and I don't believe new hardware has even been presented.

I cant remember whom it was, but someone, an influencer or KOL on twitter or a blog started this "no new hardware has ever been presented in WWDC" madness and it has been spreading like plague ever since.

Mac Pro, Pro Display in 2019, MacBook Pro 2017, iPhone 3G and 4, and MacBook Pro 2009.

Other similar false statements were M1 has integrated memory ( For the 999th times it does not ) and AirPod were sold at cost ( this one is from Gruber ).
Related to the graphic, but unrelated to the unicode angle: I have a colleague who was in communications for her organization (not even a tech company). She told me about the time they used a stock photo of a racially-ambiguous (not white, not black, but could be interpreted as mixed race, asian, hispanic, middle-eastern, etc) hand checking a box for a "Make sure you vote!" campaign last year, and they got a lot of flak for not explicitly making the hand black--literally some people were saying they felt that the message was explicitly excluding them or that they couldn't relate to it because the skin tone didn't match theirs. They made sure the hand was a female hand because they had previously gotten flak for that.

I think about that a lot when I look at corporate messaging like this. These days a lot of effort is put into making sure the content doesn't offend people who hold strongly to beliefs about race and gender--something that I might not be so aware of if I hadn't had her inside perspective. I wonder what kind of conversations must be had inside Apple's communications team about the "identities" of these avatars.

I'm sure some people will downvote this into oblivion (and fair enough--race and gender have been breathlessly promoted for the last 5+ years and some people are understandably fatigued of the topic), but I think trends about race and gender are interesting and maybe others will appreciate this anecdote.
VAT is a very regressive tax. All consumers would be taxed the same regardless of their income.

There are controllers that split in half and you stick the phone in the middle for a Switch-like form factor. The ergonomics are much better than the controller clips because those end up being very top heavy with most newer phones.

The real problem is that there are few mobile games designed for controllers, unless you want to use one of the streaming services or console emulators.
So we're talking about the M1 Macs, not iPhones - Firefox on Mac is Gecko. So the comparison of Webkit (iOS FF) vs. Gecko (Mac FF) is the comparison being made as you can download both if you want.
Not afraid at all, I'm very much in a different world now so it doesn't bother me all that much. There are no skateparks close to my place so I'm not entirely sure what is going on but I'm getting the impression that skateboarding is dying. The thing is I have flat feet and as such, skate shoes are pretty much the only shoes I can wear so I still visit skateshops for that purpose. What I notice is that skateshops these days are 85% scooters and longboards which does not seem very promising for street skating. I could be wrong, that's just my observation.

A key point of Brexit is to "restore sovereignty." At least some of that ire is directed at the ECHR, which can issue rulings that override British rulings and parliament. One of the examples of this occurring is when the ECHR overturned a British ban on voting for prisoners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirst_v_United_Kingdom_(No_2)

I just want to say that I am the person that doesn't like doing anything unless it creates value. I am just wired differently. For me a useless project is a waste of time unless I'm trying to learn something new, and even then I try to find something that is going to be useful because otherwise I lose interest.

I don't know what it is. Maybe because I grew up relatively poor?

I also love programming but mostly when it solves an issue for a business. There is nothing better in the world as far as careers go. When I can make $150 an hour and create so much value for a business that they will gladly give me their money, its special.

In general I have hard time just relaxing, I prefer to do and build things around the house.
True, the APIs are usually top notch, but I really hope SwiftUI will get another revision or something. It looks good on paper, but you constantly run into things that are really weird, odd, and feel like hacks. State management is too complicated as well.

You might be incorrectly conflating "underrepresented" with "marginalized." While it's true that the marginalized groups that we're talking about (women, people of color, people with disabilities) are also underrepresented, those are not the same things at all, and I chose the word "marginalized" intentionally.

Here's a link to what seems like a decent definition of "marginalization" to me: https://www.inhersight.com/blog/guide/marginalization
Over the past 4 years, my salary more than doubled. And my role is two rungs lower on the "career ladder". Every time I switch companies for a reduction in job title, I get a 50% raise. At the current rate, I'm looking forward to being an intern while making an executive salary.
