Probably not...
A lot of the people I know who still have an account, and are aware of Facebook's track record, use it for maintaining contact with friends and status updates, I don't think there is a whole lot that will get those people to drop, they would rather try to further close off the flow of information into Facebook, and they are already not trusting the service or what it does with the information it gets.
> For the initial kernel DCP support, we expect to require the firmware released with macOS 12 “Monterey” (which is currently in public beta); perhaps 12.0 or a newer point release, depending on the timing. We will add new supported firmware versions as we find it necessary to take advantage of bugfixes and to support new hardware.

Please don't do this! Monterey is an OS I will never install given that it will include the Apple-provided spyware. This shouldn't be the earliest supported version! I suggest instead finalizing on a current/later release of Mac OS 11 as updates for it will slow down once Monterey is released. A lot of people won't be updating to Monterey.

The last message 6 years ago reads that the dev thinks the bug is fixed. Since then no-one complained. Do you know that the bug was falsely closed?
Isn’t it more an example of a bug submitter loosing interest in their bug?

> Nietzsche is easy and fun to read: straightforward, vivid, and outrageous. He was brilliant; the best philosopher of all time, in my opinion.

I've read almost everything by him, and, cards on the table, I don't really like Nietzsche, but calling him the best philosopher of all time is a bit of a stretch. With that said, this idea that his philosophical writings are deeply nihilistic just needs to go away. His entire corpus basically deals with how to escape nihilism—how to find purpose in purposelessness.

The will to power is not nihilistic at all. Sure, it's extremely amoral and probably wrong, but it's certainly not nihilistic. The eternal recurrence is brought up as a way to cope with meaninglessness and as a way to find purpose in ones life. Other ideas are purely rationalist, like the subject-predicate (non-)distinction (in his famous lightning flash example). Sure, Genealogy of Morals is probably all wrong, but its purpose is to re-intuit a moral system without socio-religious underpinnings.

The idea behind nihilism is that it's valueless, whereas Nietzsche tries to find new values.
Did you find any meaning in all of this. It's always the same circle of birth, reproduction, death until the end of mankind, nature, earth, sun, universe. Whatever comes first.
The eleventh amendment was a "bug fix" to the constitution. The original constitution had wording that accidentally allowed a citizen to file a suit against a state directly in the supreme court. Nobody in the government intended for this to be possible, but citizens began suing states and this conduct was upheld as constitutional.

At the time (1794), this was resolved by amending the constitution to make the desired change. If the same unintended wording had gone unnoticed until today, it is very likely that the supreme court would simply decide that the outcome as written was not desirable and throw out the suits.
I made a lot of money in crypto and I think I deserve every penny. I told everyone I knew that crypto was the future, I got into the industry, and practically nobody listened (let alone the HN echo chamber which is to this day fiercely anti-crypto). I made an investment based on independent, contrarian analysis and it paid off. This is extremely deserved money.
Yeah... This actually seems standard for old backlogs.

Were all problems fixed? Almost certainly not. Many will have become overcome by events, though. The ones that are still pertinent will reopen.

Such that anytime I see a large percentage of bugs closed like this, this reflects more on working in the ticketing system than it does on fixing the problem it is managing.
Anecdotally people who do keto have documented increased insulin levels from artificial sweeteners.
On iOS now we have all the same interchange mechanisms between applications we have on desktop. Decent file management, rich content cut-and-paste, side-by-side applications. Share sheets are great.

The main limitation is the interaction model, and that's just down the the mechanics of touch interfaces. Firstly fingers are imprecise big fat squishy blobs. Secondly the tablet form factor doesn't afford a large physical keyboard. These are the impediments and they're just facts of the form factor. the new multi-tasking interface in iPadOS looks like a great step forward, but it's always an issue.
Genuine question, what do we get out of adopting IPv6? I remember being told for years that we'd run out of IP addresses (which hasn't happened thanks to NAT). What are the advantages of IPv6 from a practical standpoint?
> even though the issue still exists.

The second to last post says they believe the issue is fixed, with nobody complaining it isn't fixed for the 5 years after. I guess that doesn't seem like a great example of "they closed the bug without ever fixing it".
As a 0.1%er you are already exceptionally lucky.

No it’s not. It’s solving a real problem.
It wouldn't be magic.... the AAAA record for DNS would point to your server, and the A record would point to cloudflare.

Of course, it is up to the client, then, to decide which address to use. Not all clients default to v6 even if it is available.
> This discrimination is sticky, because SESTA caused the shuttering of forums where sex workers advocated for their rights. The more marginalised the speaker, the worst it is – which is why the most heavily impacted group is trans women of colour.

This can't be understated. Who are these bills benefiting at the end of the day? Because the most marginalized people in my life — and those who are most often the targets of hate speech — are being pushed even further to the margins by legislation like this.

Sure you can learn all of this stuff on Wikipedia, but the difference here is that the author has turned it into a narrative, given it character, and a stylish presentation.

Agreed. I have even learned some things casually watching his streams over the last month or so.
It’s intuitively obvious that humans are social creatures after millions of years of evolution. There’s boatloads of knowledge around child development and how crucial it is to see facial expressions. You know, the stuff around mirror neurons, etc.

But outside that common sense based in very well-understood science, there is evidence that the disruption to normal life is dropping childrens’ IQs substantially.

If a program allocates all available memory, and systemd then hits OOM on a 1kB allocation, do you think we should kill systemd?
Frying.
Totally agree about the moral hazard problem. And I'll have to research how direct price inflation is going to prevent the fed from being able to continue to lower rates. Thanks!
As long as I can still sideload the same applications on macOS - I'm OK with this. Even if it's only enabled on the macOS "side", having a unified OS on unified hardware would be huge step forward in my opinion.

Having XCode on an iPad would be convenient as well - though it's not the only IDE I use and would still ultimately prefer a proper laptop/desktop form-factor for "serious" programming.

Lol exactly! Thank you for this. For now I'm at the slot machines all day getting soaked on cheap whisky and I just saw a high roller come out. Maybe the best move is not to play.
A broiler typically goes to or above 260°C. A pizza oven can pretty easily get above 400°C.

Not sure why anyone would use nonstick cookware in a pizza oven, but people make bad decisions frequently enough.
IMHO, that is the correct approach no matter the distro. The OS is a platform, the software included with it should be what works best to support that platform during a given release cycle. Anything beyond that can be addressed by containers, or third-party package repositories (including your own personal repo). It may be a biased perspective from the server side, but give it credit for being based on long, hard experience with frightening permutations (as in ugly, prone to misbehaving, many-headed beasts supporting critical services).
Yes, this is exactly what I’m talking about. “Hold down CMD,” how do you discover this? CMD-ALT-SPACE for Spotlight? CMD-CTL-SPACE for Emojis? 2-fingers to right click? ALT-2-finger-click for a context menu? Four/Five finger swipe gesture functions? Two fingers from the right for Notifications?

The situation is even worse on iOS. Remember when it was news that you could long-press SPACE in order to relocate the text cursor?

There’s a million of these little things, and if you’re in the ecosystem for awhile, you forget that you’ve learned them. They are genuinely useful and pleasant shortcuts that feel appropriate once you’ve learned them. But as far as I know, there’s no universal way to learn all these handy shortcuts.

A few are configurable via System Preferences, and so you can discover them that way. Many of them are not.

Particularly frustrating is that gestures change depending on your device, even stock settings! A swipe from the upper right corner of my iPhone 7 is different than a swipe from the upper corner of my iPhone 11 which is different, and while a two-finger swipe from the right on macOS gives me notifications neither iPad nor iOS do that. Why is it that two-finger tap is context menu on macOS but a two-finger tap on iOS generally does nothing, and there’s a whole different gesture of long-press (I don’t even know if ForceTap is still a thing or not).

The consistency WITHIN macOS across apps is what’s great about macOS. It’s a shame it’s so hard to discover, and it’s a shame they keep changing these patterns without bothering to unify them.

Plenty of people, including me, have never lost a single bit to btrfs.

Now, is it super fast? (No.) Is it (or any other COW FS) the right choice for an SSD or database? (Probably not.) Is it the right choice for data that get read much more often than written and you'd like to be sure 10 years from now that you haven't lost any of it? (There's a pretty good argument to be made there, I think.)
There's no such thing as "LTS" for the OpenJDK.

LTS is strictly a JDK/JRE vendor concept. Oracle's distributions have 11 as an LTS and will have 17 as an LTS. That, however, only matters if you are paying oracle for support.
I'm a lawyer and you shouldn't be. That's my point. I've already seen people immediately make this mistake. "Oh, I don't need a lawyer now because the contract is now on the blockchain." Wrong wrong wrong. If you'd like to do a blockchain transaction thing with or without a lawyer, that's fine, the risk is on you. But, the thing called a smart contract does not fundamentally replace what the lawyer does.
Did you keep any friends from your pre-money days? How did the wealth change your relationships, where you hang out, etc.?
Not really. They can set up cloud boxes for that (with pre-installed libraries and simulators) and let Microsoft, HP, Dell etc serve their beloved developers with crappy low-margin hardware.

All the development goes to the cloud nowadays. The local machine will soon become irrelevant.

Reminds me of when the CEO of GM said "What's good for General Motors is good for the country." Except he didn't say that. The press did a hatchet job on him by reporting it that way. The actual quote is "what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa."

I see it stated all the time, but whenever I ask why, instead of a substantial argument, I get downvotes or "isn't it obvious?" or some thinly veiled "how dare they debunk something I wanted to be true.".

The plagiarism accusation is interesting and should be resolved, but isn't evidence of misinformation or evidence that they are less reliable than [no known alternative] suggested by critics.

A bit late for the original discussion, but in case it helps future readers, I've filed https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/1295 to see if we can get the spec and browsers aligned. (My guess is we will update the spec to allow this and Firefox will update to align with the new spec, since the direction of specs over time is always toward more-lenient.)
My first problem with this is the Firmware link you posted. I don't know what to download from it.

My second is that I would like to boot from an USB drive first to try Debian 11 for a while without installing it. So there is no installer asking me to insert a thumb drive. I just dd the downloaded ISO to the USB drive.
I'd be very impressed and also be very envious but your life will go on regardless of what your friend does. You need to live for yourself and earn for yourself unless he's willing to toss a few million your way.

My partner and I were there last March, considering it as a place to move, and had to cut our trip short because of Covid. Some of the recent changes make it more viable, as importing cars etc, was very expensive.

Regarding the government, a lot of locals were upset with the government policies, mostly around immigration, with lots of people moving into "slums" as low-wage workers from neighbouring countries, displacing Tico workers. There were a lot of fans of Trump there because of his policies around immigration. I was surprised, as I had a good impression of the government there, like you do, and expected to see more pride in the way things were done regarding the environment.

Interestingly, one of the people I talked with these opinions was a full-time accountant who took the day off to drive us across the country for $100.

I don't understand the downvotes at all. Yes, PHP 8 is different from, let's say PHP 5, but that doesn't mean knowing PHP 5 doesn't help with writing good PHP 8. Same with Python 2 vs 3.
Far-left and far-right ideologies have more in common than many people realize (including the people within those factions). They are both based on the principle on low tolerance, and as such they are well-aligned on the idea of strict enforcement of their ideologies.

There are some hilarious misconceptions that members of those factions have about their own ideologies. Far-left is against the police brutality, but there is a 100 year history of perfect correlation between leftist regimes and policy brutality.

Far-right is against government interventions in all economic matters, but that also has never materialized anywhere else.

The bottom line is that anything that's far-something requires suppression of the society's natural tendency to return to the center.
cleaning up the bug reporting system is often one of my jobs.

the point of a bug report is to let you know something is going on, to provide context useful in tracking it down, and tracking for the eventual resolution.

as they years tick by, some bug reports are counterproductive because they are unclear, dont give _any_ diagnostic information, or are no longer relevant because the codebase has shifted.

its great to say for each of these issues we should spend a day or two trying to reproduce them - but its really not the best use of time.

we're not talking about capriciously trashing useful bug reports. we're trying to lower the noise floor so that the actionable bugs stand out and are more likely to be dealt with.
That sounds entirely like a problem with you not making any effort to understand what is discussed rather than anyone else's problem.
After resisting it for many years I've finally settled on YAML as my default configuration format.

I need a way of expressing the core data types of JSON (key/value mappings aka "objects", arrays, strings, integers, floating points and booleans) - plus comments, and multi-line strings that insulate me from complex escaping rules.

YAML does that. It's not perfect, but it's good enough. And in Python I can use yaml.safe_load() to avoid some of the more troublesome corners of the spec.
What I gather from your comment is that the media thrusts big societal issues (sustainability, climate change, child abuse, crime) upon the individual. When the individual tries to address these issues with their own actions or purchases, it's has zero impact on the reporting of the crisis.

I can conclude that the only sane things for an individual to do is not to counter these issues with individual actions, but to instead organize for a societal response strong enough to change the media narratives, or switch off the media completely and live life as best as one can.
Maybe. The reason I think it's more about purpose than attention and social acceptance is that Twitter is probably the platform with the most vocal social activism and its relatively pseudonymous. So your Twitter profile doesn't really carry any weight in real life social interactions, so it's less signaling than something like Instagram. And twitter is pretty ephemeral as well, so attention doesn't stay. I've seen someone with 15 followers dunk on some popular figure on Twitter, get mentioned in the NY Times (which is pretty weird) and they gain maybe 5 or 10 followers. I'm not even exaggerating. So it's not even 15 minutes of fame. It's nothing

People find purpose in dunking on others and they do it almost as a job. They even give up other social obligations and post regularly between certain hours.
If your building software as a service that changes this calculus a fair bit. You only need to wait for AWS/Azure/GCP/CSP of choice to support the hardware (you don't need to wait for mass market use of it). For example, many (all?) database as a service offerings now days run on very precisely configured hardware.
Let’s not forget that almost every JSON parser optionally supports comments and trailing commma’s when parsing.

> It can be extremely comforting to surround yourself with explanations that nothing is actually within your control or that others’ success or happiness is the result of randomness.

On the other hand, accepting responsibility for results is empowering, because it means one can be successful.

Incidentally, I used to work in dynamics and Hagai is great to work with. To give you a sense of him, I went to a conference on dynamics that he organized about six years ago, and he opened it with the following story:

Many years ago, the philosopher Nasreddin was on his farm looking out into the distance and saw some people approaching. He had heard that there were bandits in the area and became afraid that they would come, beat him, and steal all his things. So Nasreddin ran away. As he ran, he came to a graveyard, and there he found an open grave. In case the bandits followed him, he decided to take off all his clothes, get in the grave, and pretend to be dead.

It turned out that the men were not bandits, but were Nasreddin's friends. They saw him run off and wondered where he was going and so followed him. As they were walking through the graveyard, they came upon the open grave and saw Nasreddin lying there naked. So they asked him, "Nasreddin, why are you lying in this grave with all your clothes off?"

Nasreddin opened his eyes and saw it was his friends, and replied, "My friends, there are some questions which have no answers. All I can tell you is that I am here because of you, and you are here because of me."

Why don't you just buy, like the rest of us, an Android tablet with an Electro-Phoretic Display, normally from E-Ink?

I spend many hours per week on a 13'' Android tablet with EPD and BlueTooth keyboard, and work on it proficiently.

Surely you can use Moon+Reader there, and much much more.
Yes indeed, this makes a lot of sense for customers but then Apple would lose money only selling one device to most people (and also maybe a watch).

The last time I visited my Dad, I tried plugging my iPad Pro into his new Apple 6K monitor - really nice! Some apps like Mosh use two displays fairly well.

Even with limited multiple windows, it was nice. Then playing Apple Arcade games on the 6K monitor was visually stunning and fun.

If I had only one device that could function as you and I want it to, it would be an iPhone or new iPad Pro that also functioned as a cell phone. I use the smaller iPad Pro, and it really is portable. Probably an all in one iPhone would be best.
