The biggest downside of the Mac's global menu bar, to me personally, is that sometimes I lost track of what the active application is at the moment, and e.g. look for menu options for Chrome, can't find them, look to the left, and discover that the menu bar is for Terminal. It doesn't happen often, but often enough, and very annoying when it does.

With a menu bar in each window, there's very little chance of this kind of confusion.

With reusability he can get down to as low as 2mil per launch. So even with 8 launches for refuelling, this is the correct ballpark.
Hmm not really. That's the toy use case. Nixery builds your expression and gives you a docker container. By default you can specify like "git and tmux" as they are the example toy expressions HOWEVER it becomes a different beast when you use it in monorepo situation see https://GitHub.com/ghuntley/ghuntley and https://code.tvl.fyi/

>Side note, I don’t know why porn is so shameful

Is it really such a mystery?

Mostly every religion prohibits sexual freedom and most every government has deeply religious members in the legislature. There is no separation of the church's morals and political ones.

Which means yes, I'm suggesting a ban on religion in the political space. I don't mean you can't be a politician if you're religious, I mean you should be fired if you ever fall back on religious grounds while executing your responsibility.

Strange how the more religious the political leadership, the less freedoms you find in that society, regardless of religion (and like all generalisations, there are plenty of exceptions to that sweeping statement).

This is really not meant as an assault on religion, but let's not pretend that Church is not a political institution. You can have a legislative and judicial political leadership, or a religious one.

But I don't believe it's possible to have both (and call yourself a free country)
Flakes, which is currently an experimental feature, is gonna solve the issue. It works similar to cargo and npm, in that it pins the dependencies and creates a lockfile.
Instead of an AI that writes code, I would much prefer an AI that analyses my code and recommends other better approaches and does bug detection, like having an AI code review.

I can write my own code for now, thanks.
I was there, and then I started to do weed.

Every day was the same without any enjoyment, and I considered just throwing myself in front of a bus. I tried some drugs from the doctor, and I lost control of my mind. It wasn't pleasant. The process for diagnosis was laughable. So, I tried weed for the first time.

Now, weed wasn't a magic fix, but I did a few bong hits and I didn't feel anything at first. Then, I went to drink some water and it was as if I saw the radiant beauty of glass and light interact for the first time. There I was standing in my kitchen staring at the bottle of a glass. I was in awe.

Now, I don't really need weed anymore, but I did develop a sense of awe of the wonder of reality. It's kind of amazing to think about things like why do we exist.

Purpose is how we distract ourselves or amuse ourselves, but curiosity is how we can find gratitude for the positive things in life. Here we are. We are a part of the universe that can observe the universe. What the fuck are we? What is consciousness? What does it mean to be alive?!?

I give a fuck, but I also don't know how to help. Most people barely know how to take care of themselves because we live in a chaotic world. We are frail beings living fragile lives in a psychotic world.
I don't think anybody is expecting perfection. Personal I just don't want so much needless churn, especially on the .Net side. WPF in particular seemed to offer so much promise but was abandoned at birth.

I now treat UI stuff from Microsoft the same way I treat services from Google, something to be avoided because it will probably be abandoned within a short period.
I'll be honest I don't think that doing C++ on windows is a good idea. The language needs to do a lot of file access for includes, and on NTFS those are super slow, my builds on Linux are something like 1/3 of the time on windows (building the same software with the same commit of clang 12 and lld, same computer, same SSD).

But if you don't want to install a Linux partition, then just use aqt to install Qt: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

You want win64_msvc2019_64 as a platform.

Way too often I see everyone clicking on everything in the installer which amounts to a 30gb download, but for the immense majority of Qt apps you just want the core libs for your platform which is like a couple hundred megabytes (and even then in practice you're going to use only a small part of those unless you have uncommon needs such as serial port, modbus or NFC communication, XML parsing, ...)

How to Create Retail Apps? Features and Characteristics
This might have been true in the past when corporations were more limited. However, as corporations grow, their power is becoming ad hoc equivalent to those of the state.

You will have even less consent to being governed when you're governed by corporation heads, who will be more and more like lords and barons from the middle ages.
A big part of the issue is because the US effectively controls the world's money printer due to the use of USD as a reserve currency. This necessitates a trade deficit so that other countries can actually have access to USD.
This is a ridiculous redefinition of the word, "privacy".

I don't need to read your marketing manual when there's no getting around the fact you are normalizing on-device scanning on personal devices and automated secret reporting to the authorities, which means iphones have now become adversarial.

Used to be that there was a clear delineation between a customer's device and a cloud server. Not anymore with Apple "privacy".

At least with Google I know that if I don't upload the photos to them, they're not scanning my device.

Just as a point of fact, there is zero point to encryption if Apple is able to access everything on icloud, which they can, because Apple doesn't allow you to do backups using a key that only you know.

That's just another one of Apple's penny-pinching scams so they can upsell customers on extra icloud space for backups which are also "encrypted", yet Apple can read everything.

Real privacy would mean real encryption, but then Apple couldn't do their upselling scam and also couldn't secretly scan all your personal stuff.
If you wanted DRM keys, couldn't you just patch memfd_secret() to remove its security features, let the program use it, then have a look at the assigned memory?
I'm most amused by this comment in the original post:

(Context: the discussion is around the drawback that memfd_secret must disable hibernation)

> That's why the only way to introduce new security feature is with “more security” choice being the only option.

> ... eventually, Chrome and Firefox would join the crowd. At that point it would become a moot point if you want to use hibernation or not: you system wouldn't be much useful if you would choose the hibernation.

Always interesting to see how ignorant some "security experts" are and how they love to hijack users and sabotage user experience using the excuse of "security".

The writing has been on the wall for VB.Net for a long time now.
I thought the same, but it makes sense, if you go past the strange grammar structure and pompous words.

My liberal translation:

It's crazy that companies try to scale workforce like you scale compute units in the cloud. This wouldn't be the same if the workforce organized itself in unions, both against the platform and the moral police.

If arguing that everyone on these platforms would be judged in front of everyone else, maybe a legal framework dictating what people can and cannot do is the way to go (I think it sarcastically implies that the "everything which is not forbidden is allowed" principle would be violated).

Edit: it's very complex to describe what unacceptable content is. This will cause many cases of indecency accusations, which will turn the public against them, leaving no freedom of media per se.
I feel like my medium-size org is literally doing exactly what you are laying out. How do you fix it.
While I agree with your statement in general, I think this is not a good example. Integer arithmetic is two's complement on all platforms of any interest from the last 30+ years, and unsigned integer overflow is already well defined in the standard. It's just an arcane decision to keep signed integer overflow UB as a performance hack.

This is especially true given that (a) there is no standard compliant way of checking if you had overflow, and (b) the most pedantically correct way of looping over arrays and such uses an unsigned type (size_t), negating the usual claims about optimization opportunities.
I think ideology plays a strong role in addition to interests. In my mind (from reading about this a lot) there are roughly four political factions at the elite level (there's probably more variation at the grassroots level).

The most interesting is probably the Republican party establishment. I recently read books by two partisans on either side [1] (both prolific authors and MIT PhDs) and they were in almost total agreement historically on the people and timeline. The Republican party starting with Barry Goldwater underwent an internal revolution, and an upstart and more hard-line faction won, driving out the Eisenhowers and Rockefellers. The second author is a member of this group, and he believes strongly in very small government (for example, he is against the post-1950s government and believes America was last America in the 1930s).

The other Republican faction is roughly the Tea Party, which this [2] book goes into more detail. It started being a more major force in politics starting in 2010 after financial crisis. I think Boehner who was the speaker of the house at the time has talked more candidly about this period after leaving office. They are angry at the status quo and lean more to the conspiracy side of things.

On the Democratic side there are the left (Sanders, AOC, etc) and the center-left establishment. They both generally support social-democratic policies so can work together, but the center-left is more market-oriented (maybe you could also say capitalistic or neoliberal) and they also differ in political style. I think people are pretty familiar with Sanders etc but here's [3] an article by a center-left economist talking a little bit about how the nature of this coalition affects what policies are possible.

Yep. This and the fact that each arcade has maybe 5 flavor of the month games, none of them remotely appealing to me, with the rest being countless floors of crane games, makes it kind of hard to care.

Like, I get it, they’re going for the whales who’ll waste loads of cash on “games” that just swallow coins. But leave at least one floor with some variation and some games that average people will want to play.
After Zoom acquired KeyBase I was cautiously pessimistic and it looks like (in addition to the KeyBase client receiving comparatively 0 commit activity after acquisition) my fears ring true. Really sad :(

Is it really that extreme? Threat model, staying employed / defend against idle gossip.

Company surveillance (of their employees) is very real and unlike 'google reads all my emails' they actually can and do and it is a person they actually know whos private information they are viewing. I dont even need to get into the chance of every piece of information being in a lawsuit or get into the lack of any controls around data retention etc to be worried.

First step IT would take when I dropped my phone in 'because they had to run the update' - they would open my photos and take a look through. Second step - they would go to the deleted photos and have a look through. It was done as part of any company-mandated review of the device but out of personal 'curiosity'.

Every private message on teams etc was logged and routinely reviewed by a compliance team and often escalated to line managers - the team doing so knew everything professional and personal going on in the place. Who was getting hired, fired, promoted, working hard, slacking. Who was sleeping with someone, depressed, happy, gay, straight, having kids, getting divorced, getting a nose job, getting a vasectomy etc.

So whats the threat? I have nothing to hide, I am popular, a hard worker, not having an affair with the intern, so they are not going to trawl through looking for any dirt to diminish or fire me. There is little value in this information beyond gossip, but a permanent record remains all the same. For me there is little extra effort required to phone home from my phone rather than the recorded office line and that way the call wont be listened to by the guy in compliance.

You can prove that, right? Because, as I said, there's no law against processing porn payments, and risk can be mitigated by just charging more. Your refusal to believe anything is irrelevant.
I'm going to pile in too late and sing the virtues of .NET core or whatever its called now. Deployment of web apps to containers is a breeze, the language is modern feeling. Roslyn is about the most awesome thing I have played with. Razor pages are a breeze compared to the giant piles of dependency hell that client side SPAs or node have become. It feels lean and mean and I can be sitting at a debian box or a windows laptop and the experience in VSCode is identical including deploying code to production on AWS.

But like everybody has said, the desktop UI story is garbage. Fingers crossed Maui turns out to be useful because winforms and UWP are hot garbage. Such a shame from the guys who revolutionised gui development with Visual Basic.
A company like Apple probably deals with hundreds of major lawsuits per year. Must be thousands of smaller cases too.
You're not exactly leading by example. We are, again, having this conversation on a platform that isn't neutral and works to keep the content high quality.

It seems like your argument really boils down to "Power can be abused therefore no power should ever be used". It's kind of silly. Going back to the same points you ignored, governments criminalize murder. Do you have a problem with that? What about governments using that same power to criminalize weed? Or treat prisoners effectively as slaves? Or enforce segregation? Most folk aren't big fans of the last three but wouldn't want to live in a society where we're too afraid to stop murderers out of fear those same systems could be used to stop good folk. The only real difference is that I have considerably more control over the payment system I'm going to use than I do the government I'm going to live under.

Or take it down a bunch of notches. Most platforms take measures to try and fight spam. Do you remember e-mail before spam blockers improved? It was rough! Imagine the same on here, Twitter, etc. It seems to me those services would become useless quickly. But a service that works to block that isn't neutral, they're making decisions about what they will and won't support. I find it hard to imagine that you would prefer to use sites like that, and yet, that's what you're arguing for.
I narrowly avoided taking fluoroquinolones for a UTI in college because the side effect list scared me. A decade later and I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that makes those side effects far more likely and severe. Being a hypochondriac came in handy for once!
I think the humanoid aspect helps lay-people (and hedge fund managers) stay confused as to what the current scope of AI is. When people see humanoids, they think AGI, not DNNs.
Having Rosie the robot maid from the Jetsons at home is the vision of the future being sold, but as you point out, that level of technology is very much still the realm of science fiction. If you're watching the other parts of the AI conference this was presented at, self-driving cars are practically here. The reality, of course, is that that actually aren't yet. But you can buy a Tesla today to get an electric car taste of that future, even though it's not actually quite here.

A bipedal furniture dolly, however, is as unsexy as it is possible, using today's technology. It requires none of the impossible breakthroughs, though energy storage seems like it would be a problem. (Quad-copter drones seem to have follow as a control scheme figured out already.)

Doing this under Tesla means the earliest versions don't need to sell at all, they just need to be useful internally. Which I'm sure is why this is coming up in the first place. Think of all the places a forklift can go in a factory vs a human. The forklift is extremely useful, but still limited to flat, paved terrain. A bipedal robot base solves that, enabling Tesla to make more use of available space.

If this bot follows Tesla's strategy for self-driving (which still isn't here), it'll ship with "all the necessary hardware for Rosie the robot maid-mode", and then consumers will have to wait another couple decades for the software to actually catch up.
Pretty cool to have the docs about the system available. It would be nicer with more drivers, but that's the price of being opensource (like GMA on Linux).
Not that I know of. A rough guess is they receive 3 new lawsuits daily.

One thing I've learned is that being kind is often better than being original.
> a new study by Yale psychologists found a surprising group of people are particularly good at accurately assessing truths about humans’ “social nature”

I am not a social psychologist (whatever authority that title may grant one), but I wonder about how one goes from a few conclusion that may hold true under certain conditions to "truth about human nature".

For instance, "Do people work harder in groups or as individuals? "

I could see peer pressure being a motivating factor to work harder as a group. Among highly accomplished and productive peers a new group member might strive to prove themselves by over contributing to the group. I would also expect cultural factors and (im)proper management to play a role.
> The only way there should be a legal hold on a phone like that, is if it is her work phone, which she shouldn't be having nude pics of herself on in the first place.

some people use their personal phone for work email, etc. and miss the fact that that makes the phone basically a company property - i.e. the company can wipe it remotely, etc.

Wrt. Apple requiring to not wipe out laptop before returning it i wonder how do they enforce it. In more than 2 decades i have never returned laptop without wiping it and wonder what can change that, if any.
A bit OT, but I just looked at the Wikipedia on the high-speed rail plans. It states:

>As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2033.

At the pace that the world is changing, isn't that a little slow. I dont know if it could be called an achievement to have an approximate travel duration of about three hours between LA and SF.
Few artists want to be associated with that by now. If people present their onlyfans, customers expect nude pictures.
Open source is a development methodology. The license is the bare minimum.
The way the language is developed drives me nuts. If someone took the effort to fork Elm I would use it in a heartbeat.
> The alternative is upload everything unencrypted to providers who then scan there

That's exactly how it should be. If a service provider wants to scan unencrypted documents for legal or PR reasons that's completely understandable. If instead they want to provide true E2EE and risk ending up in court with the regulators, that's also fine.

E2EE with black box on device scanning, however, is an absolutely terrible idea. It misleads regular people who almost certainly won't understand what's really going on. It's easily subverted by various governments as a condition of doing business. It blurs the line regarding ownership and unlawful search, thereby eroding future expectations of civil rights.

Apple should just be honest about the fact that they aren't comfortable providing a full E2EE solution for various regulatory or political reasons.
Wow thanks, I see what you mean. I think “public opprobrium” threw me off as a really unnatural thing to write, run on sentences aside

Risky, but maybe it would even be good PR to try to match the dance and see the robot fall over just to point out how far they actually have come in 30 years.
I enjoy the BeAPI. In my opinion, the Interface Kit (GUI) has just the right balance between having enough features to be useful and not getting in your way. The BMediaKit realistically has 2 purposes, decoding/encoding and streaming and ideally should be split up into 2 kits. The Haiku based packaging system is really great for developers, since installing headers/libs requires zero effort, it just works. Tracker (file navigation) is fantastic, finding header files takes less than a second. Deskbar needs to apply 20 years of modernisation and adopt features from other OS's. The browser situation is terrible, though. System administration is really well thought out, however, it needs user accounts and encrypted volumes.

Regarding other development environments, I've done professional Qt development, and I'm displeased with the ownership and kitchen sink model. Ownership and auto layout make dynamic widget hiding a real pain, especially since you cannot remove a widget (ownership issues). Layouts with dynamic widgets are another pain point.
Well yes, any sad, lonely 14 year old would have told you so…

Tesla is quite literally selling a package called "Full Self-Driving". I don't see how it has not been "rolled out yet" unless you're confusing Tesla's bullshit marketing lingo for level 5 autonomous driving.

This is exactly it. Notably betting sites accept higher fees without issue. Obviously the margins take a hit but they're still profitable.

The main difference is that a gambler will keep throwing money (and encouraged to do so via dark patterns to keep the margins), whereas post-nut clarity is the main barrier to maintain the margins in porn.
