Honestly I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and it’s still working very well. Previously I had a 2012 or 2013 (I forget) and it worked well up until a couple years ago.

I also have a 2012 iMac which i think still works ok, but i replaced the hard drive with an SSD. When it still had an HDD it was incredibly slow, like it took over 10min to start up and 1min to do simple things, I thought it was broken.
Luckily the US is not bound by the decision. Unluckily, many in the US think that disastrous measures like blocking sunlight are peachy ideas.

But the US could unilaterally adopt an olivine-based program, beneficially, and demonstrate its effectiveness; then countries who have signed that thing could join in. It might need adjustments, such as enriching calcium to replace what the carbon takes down with it, but you learn as you go.

Apple can decode the data either way. Their the ones doing the encryption on their servers.

There are two basic reasons for this first it’s a backup service which makes end to end encryption risky, but second they also let users share access to their baked up photos. iCloud > photos > shared album.
It is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. I assumed there would be aggressive power gating for a mobile processor, but I have no idea. Google didn't turn up anything. Maybe in some doc behind an NDA?
I stopped watching purely due to the Spotify deal. I was willing to give it a try until I saw that they were memoryholing episodes. I might be in the minority here but it felt like a betrayal. If he wanted more money he could’ve invested in his own platform like many others and people would’ve followed. There’s plenty of other content in the sea.
Yeah, you described my computing approach. Including a couple tiny PCs like Raspberry Pi, etc. there are currently 12 computers in the room I'm sitting in (only 3 are powered on), and this is just my "office" -- not the "computer museum" I have in another room which probably has 30+ computers of varying sorts. Each has a different purpose, different OS, different architecture, made in a different decade, etc. :)
how do they even know your age? I think it's a pretty common best practice to only list your most recent 2-3 jobs for a 1 page resume and you could just remove your college graduation year to hide that as well.
Can you give source for that number?
Regardless, browser is like any other app. If that amount of people don’t know how to install apps on their computers, then we have a either real dump people (or just lack of motivation) or great UX design failure in general.
I'm not entirely sure that is necessary. While I think connections will take you further, nurturing relationships in the community, as an adult, is also very useful. This is something anyone can do provided they can get wherever things are happening. Which in a lot of cases is online.

I just prefer using R data-frames - the convenience of a full data-science language shell for getting statistical data out of CSV. One can also make gorgeous graphs using ggplot2.
My advice which holds true as an adult is to find stories that resonate. I learnt to read almost entirely reading books about football, all the way up to autobiographies at an early age. Now as an adult I read huge amounts of non-fiction but find fiction incredibly boring. I can't explain it but I would recommend trying lots of diff things until something sticks. Graphic novels
I suspect the new features starting to come into Workflowy last year is due to Roam Research which came out about then, and has largely been at best a slight improvement over Workflowy.

I do use Roam personally, but they were very hamfisted with their monetisation effort early on, which left a bad taste in my my mouth. If I were starting today, I would use Workflowy and be paying them instead. From what I can see, it is the more carefully built product.
Oh, sure, when the entire society is discriminating, not discriminating may require active initiative. Things like this one "we don't care if you are old" announcement surely help.

But you don't need to discriminate on the reverse direction, and doing that is probably harmful.
I must have gotten lucky, or this thread is a concentration of the unlucky.

Used my 2004 12” PPC until 2013. My 2010 mini is still the brain of my recording studio. The 2018 MBP is use for work is fine. I’ve yet to take a machine into an apple store.

Part of why I’ve used apples for audio work is I get so many years out of them. The first studio I worked in had a 9 year old G3 in the B room.

I use Linux for recreational software development, so I wonder if dev work on a mac correlates with more issues.
I just wish Firefox Focus had reader mode. It's my default browser on my phone, which gets me around free article limits on some sites, so having to open it in another browser can defeat that purpose.
> Anyway the school I went to absorbed a smaller technical school with a Masters in Software engineering that I’m debating on getting. One prereq I’d have to take is Algorithms and Data structures and that’s a gap I’d like to fill.

Seeing some unrelated degree or a "weak" version of a CS/Engineering one (now at a business school) and a cash cow masters[0] is a red flag on a resume.

> Pornography is a form of art.

Pornography is as much art as streaming video games or uploading card opening videos to YouTube are a form of art.

Pornography is entertainment, and not all entertainments are art. In spite of all the more or less recent porn videos labeled "Art Porn," which, in fact, rather depicts passionate sexual intercourse, pornography cannot reasonably be considered art in the traditional sense. Pornography does not elevate your spirit, it does not make you feel a broad range of emotions, and there is no real creativity, or it is utterly limited to a mediocre plot and a few different environments.

What definition of art do you have in mind that makes you think that pornography is art?
They do offer 2 years in the EU (iirc 3 in the UK) and the prices for most of their products are pretty close to the ones in US (if you subtract VAT)
If you're in the US, don't be annoyed with these numbers; learn from them. If you get on LinkedIn and expect > $200k, you may be surprised by what you can achieve.

You should line up several interviews all in the same week and play the offers against one another. At least one should be over $150k, and possibly over $200k. That highest number then sets a floor that everyone else will need to rise to as you negotiate. Politely ignore claims that offers will explode; they won't. Add options/RSUs, and you may be shocked at the amount of compensation you can get.

You can actually do it.
Firefox's entire UI was for a long time written in XUL, a language that looks like XHTML but adapted to write user interfaces.

It was rendered by Gecko, Firefox's browser engine which supported XUL besides HTML. XUL was animated using Javascript and styled with CSS.

XUL was also used in the media player Songbird, the mail client Thunderbird, the web editor NVU and probably other applications besides some browsers based on Gecko.

It was possible to run a XUL app by downloading the XUL runner, or just by telling Firefox to run it. Your chrome URL was actually something something browser.xul "back in the day".

XUL is deprecated. In (not so anymore) recent years, all the XUL has been replaced by pure HTML in Firefox. I don't know if there is still some XUL left, but it is vanishing if this is the case. So yes, now, Firefox's UI is written in HTML.

XUL could have been a great toolkit to write cross platform apps. It was easy to use and understand. There is a parallel world in which Electron apps don't exist, and desktop web apps are written in XUL. People would not have to re-invent their whole UI toolkit on top of HTML and React for each app they write.

It didn't happen in our universe. Mozilla probably wanted to focus on Firefox, and XUL was just some odd technology they had to maintain just for Firefox, and this maintenance was a burden and probably made Gecko, which main purpose is HTML rendering, too complicated.

In another parallel universe, Gecko is what powers their equivalent of Electron, or one of its alternatives. That hasn't happened in our universe neither, because Mozilla did not put effort into allowing to embed Gecko in other UI toolkits like Qt or GTK. I think it was possible for a short period before Gecko 2 or something like that. I have waited for this to happen for years. Still waiting. Instead, alternative browsers based on Gecko turned to WebKit, or vanished.
This is done for all items sold to consumers in New Zealand.
A base MacBook is US $999 in the US and NZ $1749 in New Zealand, which is approximately US $1200. Your maths checks out.
The tiny market, currency fluctuations and long shipping route probably factor in the price too, but our legislation is surely the prime reason for the cost.

I absolutely love the consumer guarantees act we have here, and the protection it gives.

Edit: NZ has 15% sales tax and this is missing from the above equation. It accounts for most the difference.
What about a constant, random, per-match offset? An error applied to a match's position that can't be averaged out, because it is always wrong by the exact same amount. Use a different error in a different direction for each unique match so one can't figure it out once and apply it system wide.

I suppose the downside is that this could put someone else at risk if the tweaked position happens to be on top of their house.
Nah. You're forgetting that that this is Apple. There would be an announcement that for new Macs you will be required to purchase 3 years of AppleCare+ to have the best possible experience. People will bitch for a few months but eventually it'll die down and Apple will get to market the current price as the base price while charing 30% more.
I checked the FT link pasted in this thread, and the founder seems to claim that it was an issue strictly with the banks, not with the payment processors:

>“We’re already fully compliant with the new Mastercard rules, so that had no bearing on the decision,” he said.

A large part of it is ease of hiring. In 80% of cases, new grads are relatively simple to hire; you go to campus recruiting fairs, get bundles of resumes, and since new grads don’t usually have specialized skills, you can do bulk filtering by things like GPA or simple coding exercises.

There are a lot of negative consequences of this sort of “factory hiring” mentality (for one, you exclude huge numbers of some groups of people because everything is one size fits all), but if you contrast with hiring experienced folks, it’s way more streamlined. You don’t have to do sourcing, figure out location/geography, match up skill sets and team fit, deal with expectations around title/role, etc.

A lot of people mention salary and hours worked, but I suspect the real limiting factor in hiring at fast growing companies is time and staffing to do hiring, and if all you care about is the number of people typing code, you get new grads being overrepresented
Appeals to authority are not convincing
That seems like a court case at least. You would need to prove there is any difference in language skill from someone with 15 years versus 35 years, otherwise it is just an age requirement superficially disguised as a needed skill requirement
The relationship between payment processors and Onlyfans is a lot closer than the one between them and stores/bars etc. that are selling to underaged kids. (Also underaged drinking is a lot less intensely prosecuted than underaged porn) Usually they don't have any direct relationship with the stores at all and their card processing goes through another company that provides the machines and access to the MC/Visa/et al payment processing, that's how it was with my family's stores at least when we started taking cards, the machines all came through another company and our contract was with them.
They basically did the 'suprised-pikachu' face when creators that posted explicit content closed their accounts, after being told the content they created would be banned
I think you're putting too much stock in Soviet propaganda. Science and technology were not very high priorities in the Soviet Union, compared with military spending and domestic control.

>"Since the mid-1980s, the Soviet Union devoted between 15 and 17 percent of its annual gross national product to military spending, according to United States government sources."
https://nuke.fas.org/guide/russia/agency/mo-budget.htm

US defense spending was <6% of GDP throughout the 1980s.

The Soviets also spent massive amounts of money on maintaining control (KGB & domestic police) and protecting their borders (maintaining satellite states & controlling Afghanistan). They also defunded their space program when it became decoupled from their military rocket program.
FWIW, I agree with your sentiments pretty much 100%. I was going to say more or less the same thing(s) but didn't feel motivated enough to do more of a "point by point" response. Glad to see somebody chipping in with very similar viewpoints.
They do a pretty bad job of it if it's planned. My '12 MacBook Air works great (aside from needing a new battery) and I can still boot plenty of even older Macs, going back to a Quadra.
Perceptual Illusions (2018)
Do you have any pointers/docs on how to make this work? At the most basic level, how do you prevent people from wasting your money with no effort on their part e.g. by transitively contracting the task to the lowest bidder and pocketing the difference? (Not to say there are many people out there who would actually do this, but incentives clearly need to be fixed if it is feasible.)
All the best developers I know are over 40, if not in their 50s or 60s. I don’t understand the stigma. All the young smart programmers I know will be better next year than last year
Blockbuster did not mail directly to the customer at any point that I can remember. I think OP has it correct.

You left out a very important key word, "potentially." The article did not say a single person out of millions using Bumble was actually attacked via this method.
There's a user space network stack in gvisor, written in Go. And it's already included in wireguard-go.

That's good they really need to provide more to their users than they do now. I get why because serving video is extremely expensive but not being able to do a properly private video on platform is a big gap.
My friend in France recently complained to me that it was impossible for him, at 52, to find another job in the industry. He's at the top of his field (databases). Its pervasive.

I'm not sure which you're suggesting then?

I understand the desire to compartmentalise... I just think real life's too blurry, and then it gets annoying at the edges - oh I had this problem on my other one, how did I solve it again? etc.
Troll public git repositories for committers with the greatest number of hours having commits, then audit for quality?

I assumed this was the kind of thing Microsoft was already doing with both github and linkedin under their belt, either for bolstering their own ranks or as a paid service to offer recruiters.
Hmmm.. FWIW, I type at like 130wpm (I have won typing competitions), and have never experienced frequent text-input latency on my Macs (I've used Macs since the mid-80's). Only intermittent due to obvious things like CPU-intensive operations in progress.

Did you see it happening on really "simple" applications like Terminal? What's crazy to me is how you saw it happening on a fresh OS install... had you installed any other software? Or any kind of customization to settings, locale, stuff like that? Curious how that could be happening!
It does make some sense that movies which have been available for three years could have more downloads than movies which have been available for one year.
It's school, banning articles of clothing is their bread and butter. When I was in school it was war on spaghetti straps and yoga pants.

I'm a newby in these topics. I'm pretty sure that bittorrent has worked in ipv6 for a long time now; actually, I find it unintuitive that it would care whether one or the other is used. Also, doesn't bittorrent work fine without port forwarding? I'm pretty sure that I used to run it that way for a long time when my ISP didn't give me a public IP.
I don't know about always. Apple has been around a long time and apparently the MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2012 was a decent machine for repairability, according to asdff and ifixit anyway.

Gwern pointed me to the quote on his website:
https://www.gwern.net/on-really-trying

The quote is: "the one secret concerning the atomic bomb which might have been kept and which was given to the public and to all potential enemies without the least inhibition, was that of the possibility on its construction".

As others had suspected, it's about the atomic bomb, not the H-bomb, which in retrospect makes more sense of course.
Golang backend, some light vanilla Javascript frontend. postgres db. running on podman (docker-compose), fedora server.

I have some background in C programming, so Go was easy to pick up. the standard libs are great for building server-side webapps with a sql backend. templates lib and some glue javascript make front-end pages a breeze.

I'm a linux guy thru-and-thru, so running fedora server on the latest kernel. latest podman from RedHat and docker-compose to orchestrate.

I'm one guy so I don't do any HA or cloud or any other funny business. My one server is racked nearby and I've had good history with the colo.
That's a real shame. I have a Helios64 that has been rock solid since launch and I was thinking of getting another one if they ever became available again.

Thank you Kobol team and thank you for the openness and transparency the whole time.
The contract to hire approach is great for the company if the applicant accepts it, but any good applicant would not because the applicant would simply take another full time job with benefits instead. Especially in today's market.
This isn't a formal debate, and authority is useful especially as a "first pass" filter, or in terms of establishing Bayesian priors. The key, IMO, is not to assume that the mere existence of authority guarantees that someone is right. But in either case, it's certainly valid to ask the question "why should I take Kevin Kelly seriously on this topic?"
> The initial contract is expiring basically now. For several reasons it makes sense to transition the tech team (CTO and 4 SW Engineers) from tech company to startup, main reasons being that startup should not be "depending" on tech company, the startup should have its own CTO and tech team (important to future investors) and the startup does not further need to proxy "access permission" to sensitive data from customers to tech company.

Why? It sounds like the relationship worked out great so far.

Have they considered acquiring the (tech) company? Is the startup the only customer of tech company? Where's the startup headquartered?
Please tell me if my understanding is incorrect, I assert ....

That 160+ days seems to come entirely from the study window itself and I don't see how it would give an indication of general immunity of the study cohorts. If you wait longer as more people wind up infected that number only goes up.

To provide some additional context from the linked study, only 5.7 per 100,000 people were reinfected during the study window while 57.3 per 100,000 were infected for the first time. To put it into vaccine effectiveness terms that is a 90% effective. I didn't read to see if the cohorts were demographic matched.

If I'm understanding it correctly, then I think you misrepresent that 160 number.
Where do you lay the blame? With the trend followers who are faking disorders, or with the researchers who are pointing out that trend?

I always thought engineers' job was to make designs in line with best practices, which should hopefully reduce tech debt (in contrast with technicians, whose job is to execute and worry less about the overall project). But that was a lonely and pointless hill to die on...
> It is apparently from Tongan or Fijian words, not Maori words.

All of the Polynesian languages are closely related, to the extent that many of them are mutually intelligible. A simple shift in phonology, like /p/ to /b/, isn't enough to render /tapu/ and /tabu/ different words. The connotations of those words may differ from one culture to another, but the basic concept is the same.
The most relesellers in my country give 3-5 years of warranty for MacBooks. I guess things are good here.
Not quite - I'm from the UK too and I believe we have 6 years to file a claim that shows that the item was defective when we received it, not that it developed a defect.

Before 6 months it is assumed that if a defect develops, it was there when it was delivered.

After 6 months the onus is on the person who brought it to show that the defect was there when it was delivered.

Importantly - there is no expectation in law that the item has to last 6 years.
Yea, my 2012 is going strong.

I've been meaning to put a ssd in it, but procrastinating.

Love the screws Apple.
It's pretty common for companies to do contract to hire (enough so that recruiters will often just write CTH in their emails). This is a variation of that which seems a lot fairer than another approach I've experienced, which was a full-day pairing exercise which effectively translated to donating a day's work to the prospective hirer (admittedly, its value to them was relatively low since you were coming in with little knowledge or context, but its value to you is presumably non-zero).
>>> Good sociology papers are just as scientific as physics or engineering papers,

> Snobbery about the conventional levels of significance (etc) is almost entirely beside the point.

It seems like entirely the point. Also, the difficulties you describe are reasons sociology can't be as scientific as physics, not reasons to pretend sociology is just as scientific.
Zim is great too. In terms of functionality, it does a lot of the things Obsidian does, but it uses its own wiki syntax and it's not pretty by any means. Obsidian has been much more effective at building community and growing the ecosystem of plugins.

Edit: And one pretty annoying thing - it's built on old-school technology that doesn't even support setting the editor width. That's quite a problem in the era of widescreen monitors.
They're part of the same language family, but pretty far apart. The Lithuanian, Latin, and Saskrit words for fire are ugnis, ignis, and agni. Are they the same word? Nah. They just share an ancestor. Same thing with tapu and taboo. They are for sure related but if we're gonna talk about the Māori concept and not the English or Fijian one we can signal that so easily by calling it tapu, not taboo.
