You get better battery performance, with higher CPU performance, better graphics, etc. etc. and save 8oz. in weight and nearly half the width.

Moore's law has tradeoffs. I think you can make the conclusion yourself with the facts.

EDIT: For the record - it financially benefits Apple to have an unremovable battery, but that doesn't mean its the only motivation.
What's the next step to protect against traffic analysis? Are there any VPN providers that provide stochastic masking to defeat traffic analysis? Is TOR working on mitigations? A quick search turns up https://blog.torproject.org/new-low-cost-traffic-analysis-at..., which discusses the use of fixed-size padding in TOR protocol headers, but it's mostly focused on traffic analysis using then-commercially available data sources (for example, Real Time Bidding logs & DNS queries), and considers full netflow data a "high-effort" attack available only to "intelligence agencies". It seems like this may need to be reassessed.

EDIT: looks like this is addressed to some extent in the FAQ for Tor https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#SendPadding.
> Us, the unvaccinated, are happy to live freely and face any associated risks - just like people who decide to ride motorcycles, play combat sports, or eat homegrown food.

I think you've got the wrong analogies going there. You, the unvaccinated, are principally putting yourselves at risk but you are also, and more importantly, putting others at increased risk of transmission from yourself.

Adjusting your content for accuracy: you, the unvaccinated, are not allowed by society to do anything you want. Just like you cannot drive drunk, shoot firearms inside city limits, urinate on the street, sell poop sandwiches as a food product, etc.
Oh there it is, missed that. Thanks.

For what it's worth, a couple of years ago I saw an ATM machine reboot.... and saw the OS/2 splash screen. Wonder if it's popular in that industry, or if it was an older/one-off machine?
Spotify has invested heavily in podcasts, not just Joe Rogan but a whole range of them at high costs. It baffles me that they would spend so much money on content and not invest in app development and design. Some businesses seem to have a major hate boner against paying for an appropriate number of high quality developers and designers. It's very penny proud and pound foolish.
Fascinating. I wonder who their customers are these days.
Bill Burr might be right, but there are, for example, people who think satirical news shows are actual credible news. I don't think what Joe Rogan does is much above a step beyond that sort of entertainment.

Correct, up to storage limits.

That's not a minor consideration from me as I can easily fill 64--128 GB of total storage (about 30GB seem to be system + apps).

That's not all books --- I keep a fairly large number of podcast episodes downloaded. But at about 5 MB/book, even an apparently generous storage quickly shows limits.

I passed on the ReMarkable as its 16 GB storage (about 8GB available) only permits 1,600 books at 5 MB/book.

(And that's without podcasts or audio.)

The BOOX has a 64 GB onboard storage, maximum. I've got that near capacity in about 6 months, though a large share of that is podcasts. My preference would be 256 GB. Plus far better content-management capabilities on the device itself. I think I could live within that.

Retail cost is $20, falling by about half every 2 years. The minimising of eBook storage makes absolutely no economic sense.
I think a lot of the appeal is about truly original content.
Rejecting people that promote the "Sandy Hook was fake!" conspiracy theory and even harassing the parents of murdered children isn't a way to avoid offending the "progressive attitudes of Silicon Valley". It's just common decency. ... Can we at least set the bar at that level -- that we _don't_ harass the parents of murdered children for clicks?
I definitely agree with this sentiment in nearly every case - goal of society should be one where these kinds of characteristics are irrelevant and discriminating in some other way to correct is generally a bad idea.

It was mostly a thought experiment about how a software company could gain a hiring advantage in a clever way (if old people are undervalued by the market for dumb reasons). At least in the case of age the categories are clear (as opposed to more nebulous socially defined groupings of people).
OS/2 was extremely popular throughout the entire banking industry and ATMs running on OS/2 was almost the norm for a few years.
I don't understand at all why an enormous company like Spotify is so neglectful of the entire apple ecosystem.

Part of this might be the legal friction between Spotify and Apple in the past. Here's an article that describes a coalition that Epic Games, Spotify, and others formed just last year to counter Apple's platform cut. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/epic-spotify-and-oth...

It's not enough for vaccines to exist. People have get vaccinated. That has not happened (enough).

How do you know the curve wasn't flattened? I don't know whether it was or not. It seems the only way to find out for sure is to compare the curve to what it would have been in an alternate timeline.
Covid vaccinations have only been proven to protect the vaccinated from severe outcomes. They don't prevent infection or re-transmission. There's no valid claim to pushing this on those that don't want them.

I've noticed the same thing on my 2019 16". In my case, at least, it seems to happen only when the integrated GPU is in use. If I force the discrete GPU to be used, it doesn't happen. I've been able to reproduce this on fresh installs with no third party apps installed or running.

It's incredibly frustrating, and just one more thing to add to the pile of annoyances that I have with Apple products lately.

Thank you for sharing this. People's frank discussions of burnout in posts and comments over the years have helped me recognize the two major instances of burnout I've had over the last few years. Recognition doesn't let you snap out of it immediately, but it's a really good first step.
The idea of "differently sized infinities" has always felt like a mathematical game to me.

The work of Cantor and beyond regarding infinite sets is generally taught as mathematical "fact", as fundamental as 2+2=4, but unlike 2+2=4 is there any practical constraints or applications around it? It seems more like an almost arbitrary puzzle than "fact".

I don't disagree with any of the proofs or reasoning... it just kinda bugs me that the way the formal cardinality of infinite sets is communicated is as the commonsense notion of "size".

When we make statements such as the size of the set of all natural numbers 1, 2, 3... is the same as the size of the set of all natural even numbers 2, 4, 6..., despite the former containing the latter but not vice-versa... it seems the word "size" -- and associated terminology "larger than", "smaller than", etc. -- is a particularly unhelpful set of words to have chosen for this.

The reason I think this is important is because if you go to e.g. the Wikipedia page for "irrational number", it states in the introduction [1]:

> "As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable and the rationals countable, it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational."

But it seems like an unwarranted leap to go from this formal comparison of cardinality of infinite sets, to the intuitive English-sentence idea that "almost all" real numbers are irrational, as if it had any analogy whatsover to a statement such as e.g. "almost all" values of 1/x are defined.

Am I missing anything here? I've never heard of any natural practical application of this concept, in a way that suggests it's "true" in the same way algebra and calculus are considered to be.

> If you're a man, does "We hire women. (And men too.)" also make you think that you have no place at that company, or make you think they are trying to encourage diversity?

If a specific job listing said that, then no. It'd clearly be a listing trying to get more gender diversity, of which I do not help.

For a real life example, there was a Google internship program back in the day that was specifically geared towards under-represented people. It mentioned in the posting that anyone could apply, but why would I? I'm a white straight male. I don't fit into that program.
We reuse FreeBSD's WiFi drivers (I assumed responsibility for that port some years ago), so most things that work on FreeBSD work on Haiku.

FreeBSD has fallen behind a bit, so you may want to check model numbers carefully before buying something. Intel hardware of the "9200" series and anything before it generally works (though it may not have all features enabled.) Atheros hardware is the next best, with anything before the "Killer" series especially well supported.

Slightly older ThinkPads tend to do very well. I have an E550 (from 2015) and a T60 (I dunno, 2009?) that are pretty great. My main machine is a custom Ryzen desktop where I carefully picked out hardware that I knew either was already supported or would soon be (e.g when I bought it, the NVMe driver was still in an unstable state and I had more work to do on it, but now it's pretty solid.)
I also like the section menus for pages that the mobile version dispenses with (which is annoying when you want to share a specific section with someone, all the more important as finding text on a page for the minimised sections that mobile uses is v. awkward). Plus it hides other content at the end of articles (eg primarily the categories section but also other boxes/details too)

The version you get served when using an m. URL but forcing the mobile browser to view Desktop pages is something of a compromise - it has a sharper design than the proper desktop mode but it still lacks the categories.
> Can't this kind of focus get really dangerous towards those who actually suffer from these challenges?

Suicide is also a social contagion. So are eating disorders, depression, gender dysphoria, cutting. All documented occurring online and obviously occurred offline pre-internet, perhaps not as well documented offline.

Yeah, there isn't really any reason to use it over something like nodejs, especially since it doesn't look like the code is portable (e.g. print instead of console.log, etc.).

It's not like it's the only scripting language available either, OSX comes with ruby, python2, python3 and perl by default.
I would like to upgrade my disk while keeping the OS version (clone?). Could you please tell me how did you do?
Because they didn't tell ANYBODY there were doing this. Did they give a pop up explaining that your phone was being throttled because the battery was degraded? No. Did they announce this "feature" at WWDC one year? No. Take your iPhone to a Genius complaining it was slow? Did they recommend you just replace the battery? No, they recommend you buy a new one.

Part of the problem is that Apple stuck too small batteries in their devices for years so they degraded fast. They KNEW they were making the phone slow for users in 2-3 years. Having a slow phone IMO is more of push to replace a phone than a bit worse battery life.
Wow, so cool! Basically a giant 80 meter long RC ship with an autopilot! :-)

It also has a way smaller battery capacity than I would have expected to be necessary for a (small) cargo ship, even for the short range of 64 nautical miles (~120km). Ships are pretty efficient, apparently. :-D

That's what Joe Rogan's show is all about. It's pretty much him talking about the same nonsense that anyone else would talk about when hanging out with their friends. He never pretended to be anything else, and it's why his show is so popular. That said, since he moved to Spotify I've hardly seen anything other than the occasional clip on AdTube.

>Herd immunity is not possible with our current vaccines, which means that coronavirus will continue to propagate through society

This is my understanding as well, which was why I decided to get vaccinated. If avoiding infection is impossible in the long run, I should help my immune system prepare for it.

I wonder how differently things would be going if the campaign was "Covid is here to stay. You will get it. Get vaccinated."

Maybe it would help, maybe not.

Being accused of a crime is not free. There is a cost in terms of time and reputation, even if public defenders or your own lawyers are competent and you are eventually exonerated.
This is a really cool idea. Kinda reminds me of Reading Rainbow, which I grew up on.

I'm curious how y'all plan to address one of the markets that need this the most -- public schools in the American South? Those schools are notoriously underfunded, so how do y'all plan to overcome budget issues? Sounds like you know what you're doing with the "budget line item process", so I'm curious to hear what you might have in mind.

You have cut straight to the heart of a pretty interesting problem that we are still thinking through.

You are exactly right, right now this is pure front-end. That's intentional, and there's a lot that we like about that approach, especially in light of the success of dbt.

We think dbt fundamentally changes what is needed from a BI tool and that vendors who are maintaining really heavy built-in data transformation layers will basically be wasting resources over the coming years. The approach of modelling in your data warehouse is just so much more sensible, that we think it's a really a good thing to bet on.

That said, having some form of metric modelling in your BI tool is really nice -- it helps you keep your queries dry, and makes it simpler to roll out changes. If we were to build something here, I think it would be very lightweight -- a config that basically let you define re-usable sql snippets, and maybe some constraints on them.

On the other hand, there are A LOT of startups building metrics layers, which look great. Usually these expose an API endpoint, and some sort SQL interface. We'd be just as happy to plug into one of those SQL interfaces and call it a day. I just wish one of those was open source, since the metrics layer is such a choke-hold on your data operation.

Maybe someone will build the 'dbt of metrics layers'. That would be great for the ecosystem. Maybe dbt will do it themselves. I think there's probably something interesting they could do there by treating stored procedures as materialization targets.

Reminds me of "learned helplessness" [0]:

"In humans, learned helplessness is related to the concept of self-efficacy; the individual's belief in their innate ability to achieve goals. Learned helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from such real or perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation."

I like how they announce the new developer only as their username. Pretty cool.
Sure, the "you can't pay me enough to have me sacrifice my life outside of work" POV dovetails perfectly with the "a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine", "you can't pay me enough to sacrifice my physical or mental health", and "why would I join a company that can't figure out how to work sustainably" ones.
During that episode I have came to conclusion that Bill Burr is who Joe Rogan sees as himself. Eloquent, humorous, says-he's-stupid-but-he-is-actually-smart, able to step back and look at all the stupid stuff everyone does (including himself).

Except Rogan is actually this: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/8xofvi/joe_rogan_...
Burnout was probably a factor in my decision to take a 1-year sabbatical (as of June 2020, so I'm almost 3 months in).

> I never thought I’d take five months off, without being able to explain to a future employer what I was doing. It felt like too much.

I'm very specifically phrasing it as a sabbatical, to hedge against this worry. I think the general population has a vague idea that a sabbatical isn't wasted time. In reality this is probably time for me to recover from burnout, too. But since there seems to be stigma around "burnout" I'm avoiding the whole topic by phrasing it as a sabbatical. I have no guilt about this because I legitimately am taking time to build those things I've always wanted to build, study those things that I know I should study but never had time for, and all those other life things that I know I should prioritize but can never find the time/energy to do when I have a full-time job.

I did cheat a bit this month, though. I got an opportunity to do some contract work with a startup for 1-month (3 hours every day, 7 days a week). There may be an opportunity to work with them again in the coming months but for now I am definitely returning to my own projects starting in September. If you can find short-term gigs like that I'm finding that it's a nice balance. Kinda keeps one-foot in work world and keeps my marketable skills sharp, but then I can go off and do my own thing again.

I've heard a few people say that you need more than a few weeks to recover from burnout. I think there's a lot of wisdom to those statements. I think it takes a few months of completely disconnecting from work pressure. I doubt I'll need a year. I'll probably be itching to get back to a job before the year is up.
