The ugliest thing about the Apple M1 is its SoC that is a closed system. Due to this you cannot install and run any other OS on it - the system is deliberately crippled this way so that Apple has more control over your hardware and your personal data. Apple's end goal is to completely close their desktop / laptop lines like they did with their iPhones / iPads - they are just doing so very slowly because they know power users (who are influencers in their social circle when it comes buying computers) will abandon them in droves, and drive the sales of the nascent M1 models, if they made the change suddenly ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog ).

Apple fanbois / Naysayers here frequently argue that Apple will never do this as it will "alienate" its power users. The sad reality is that Apple doesn't cares about them anymore. Apple no longer wants to sell an open computing device as it has perfected a business model with selling commodity closed computing devices. Apple developers also have already shown how willing they are to submit to Apple's dictates and act like bonded labours by foolishly giving them an annual fees and a share of their profit for the "privilege" of developing on Apple platforms. So Apple has no fear they will abandon them as long as it can keep them ignorant and invested in the Apple eco system. It is just waiting for the right moment do so - there are still a lot of Apple Intel desktops / laptops, and Apple is closely monitoring them to see if they drink Apple's koolaid and migrate to the M1.

Unless Apple open's up it SoC ARM systems to system developers, stick with Intel and AMD PC's. (Even a Raspberry Pi is better as it can run more OSes than the M1!)

The demise of Intel and AMD are also greatly exaggerated, and just clever FUD marketing by Apple - the latest AMD Ryzen processor even today offers a better computing performance than Apple's processor. And the better benchmarks of the M1 are not just because of the hardware but also because of the optimised software running on it (and kudos to Apple for that).

Yes, ARM processors do consume lower power - but desktop users don't care about that aspect much (thugh it would be desirable), and both AMD and Intel processors have improved on that aspect over the decades - some of today's Intel / AMD laptops too offer upto 10+ hours of battery life.

(For those of you who want to reply that you do not care about not being able to run other OSes and like Apple's closed ecosystem, please don't waste your time - this post is obviously not meant for you, but for people who want choices and are concerned about their computing freedom and consumer rights).
I don’t understand how people say Uber isn’t innovative. You can pull out your phone and order on-demand transport in seconds. If you were around before it took off and had to use a cab, Uber is literally 1000% better than the previous solution.
A pretty pathetic attempt at that. If you’re gonna pull this sort of stunt for the cash, at least try for a more impressive number.
I would agree if we assume that this very deterministic system behaved randomly.
No, I'm pretty sure that was serious.

What Is Credential Stuffing? How to Prevent Credential Stuffing Attacks
Self taught from UK with social science degree that I barely achieved.

I learned by trying to build a few different things and hacking them together until it worked.

I had many late nights of watching youtube videos and reading tutorials to try to understand more complex stuff. I remember seriously questioning if I'd ever get better.

8 years later and I'm a Senior Software Engineer in an incredible team at an exciting company. It's possible!

Best comparison for Discord is to think it as social media site, Facebook or Reddit. Find or get invite to server, everything is there trivially. Creating your own space is simple, easy and fast. Everyone is already there.

IRC is pretty similar, but much more fragmented and not really very user-friendly.
My stack for https://www.withcardinal.com is based on my experience with working on startups and the things that come up down the road. We're technically a 2 person company because I have a more business oriented co-founder, but I'm the only programmer and ops person.

> What is your tech stack?

We use a managed K8S provider so we don't have to deal with server and cluster upgrades ourselves. That's a huge time sink, especially as server counts scale up. Our cluster has Nginx for ingress, Loki for logs, Prometheus for metrics, and Grafana to keep an eye on things.

We're building the app in Node.js, primarily because in our app there are a handful of spots where we can share code between front-end and back-end. We use Next.js a lot, and use Bull for our queueing at present, and use the ws module for our websockets.

We use PostgreSQL for database, without an ORM just because that's my preference, and we use Redis for queues and some caching. That'll likely change over time as we grow, but managed Redis is pretty much ubiquitous at this point so it's an easy place to jump in.

> Why did you choose it?

My stack is mostly based on past experience and the requirements of the app. Since I'm hoping to grow the company and am mainly b2b focused, having a popular infrastructure stack makes life a lot easier in security audits and contract redlines, and in finding ubiquitous tools. Like I mentioned above, I didn't want to deal with server upgrades, so I'm using a managed k8s provider. We're using node.js heavily because there were a few obvious paths where code could be shared between server and client.

> Do you think your choices had any impact on your success?

We will see. We're very early in our journey, but I'm hoping keeping things easy to change and ubiquitous will help us as we progress.

Fine, let’s say they didn’t lie, they made misleading claims.

Still. Why trust them after that?

If a company can make my own smartphone report me to the police, and they want my business, they better prove I can trust them. Apple has plainly done the opposite.

What you can't say by Paul Graham (2004)
My app is https://bioviz-studio.com, a web-based tool to create beautiful video visualizations of molecular structures. App itself is at https://app.bioviz-studio.com.

Front end: Vue, vuetify, vuex, NGL, three.js/webgl, d3.js, 100% typescript, yarn, webpack
Back end: node.js, express, Firebase, GCE, Blender, ffmpeg, docker, CUDA

Why? Vue for pretty UI & ease of coding, NGL for beautiful molecular graphics, Firebase because it makes getting from 0 to 1 easy, Blender because of Cycles renderer & scriptability.

Have choices impacted success? Definitely! Faster iteration leads to better UX, good architecture leads to stronger foundation, and standard tech means I can on-board a contractor when needed.
Apple still has not patched the security exploit in iMessage used by Pegasus. Apple has released two ios security updates since the Pegasus revelations but still has not patched it most widely used exploit… hmmmm.

This, to me, looks like a case where both parties are "wrong". I think its wrong to put photos of people who cannot (or have not) agreed in the public, especially photos of children, even more so when its not just some publication, but your damn Album cover. Also looking at you, scorpions.
But I also think the "the dollar makes it look like a sex worker" spin is ridicoulus. Sounds to me like a claim that just exists to spin up the media and make sure the original claim ("you did not have the right wo put that image on that cover without covering") gets through.

So yeah, I guess that guy should get some of the Nirvana money. But cut the sex worker crap.

I hope he wins and creates a precedent so the degree of absurd in this field gets serious and the shit hits the fan. This would be so fun.

I wonder if Facebook Twitter etc. banning violent and bloody content has prevented the public from protesting these things more widely. It is well known that TV broadcasts of Vietnam led to outrage growing against that war.
Wow....how is this a disgusting attitude? I never said "shit happens". More explaining from personal experience that this videos didn't show anything out of the norm with dealing with actual Taliban.
The article says that the people killed were not the targets. But it's not an accident because some Taliban sometimes use disguises and children, so no problem?
It is, but you don't need ICU for most hospitalizations. My dad had a cytokine storm, and the doc looked at the health ministry Covid protocol that said "inject IL-6 inhibitor and keep the patient prone and on supplementary oxygen" and did exactly that. You don't need full-grown doctors to do that.
I wonder if that's really the right direction to go. Admittedly, the gains in output are impressive for comparatively small increases in size (I think there's a cubic growth somewhere). But the main problem with offshore wind energy currently seems to be installation. It might be economically better to produce more small turbines and install them much more efficiently instead of doing fewer, more complicated installations. One could, for instance, create 6MW floating in a large factory near the cost turbines and literally ship them to their location.
I like how it lets you create digital cards and easily send it to others. Also as a suggestion, it would be great if there would be an option to get the cards printed and delivered to whoever you want to give them to!

>but I don't know of a really practical alternative for those whose satisfaction doesn't need improvement other than to play the game within the system we all inevitably must deal with

well, the obvious factoid I feel most of this topic is missing is simply talking with your direct point of contact. If you're at a smaller company and they want to make you a lead for some new project, then sure. Maybe that's a cue to use your fuck-you funds for a bit. Those companies by default have an implicit expectations that someone is gonna be wearing multiple hats. It's not for everyone, especially those who want to lay low.

But other companies have IC paths specifically to avoid this issue. Those tend to be good companies since they are the (sadly) few that understand that not all workers make good managers. So yes, be honest. And if you realize management isn't... well, that's why you have fuck you money.

I see no reason to pre-emptively close off and start scanning the job market without at least asking for a raise, or insisting to not be made a lead, or whatever issue you have. Unless of course, the people you work with/under are simply incompatible with you or outright hostile.

So I don't believe the Jones Act would come into play in this situation. The Jone Act controls shipping between US ports, so if all you are doing is taking the pieces of the turbines out to be installed and coming back to the same port you haven't shipped anything between ports. It would fall under the same loop hole that cruise ships use, which is since they drop of passengers at the same port they picked them up at nothing has been "shipped between ports".

> I used to pirate everything, but is it a solution?

Well it could be a solution if you are just starting out. CAD is very complex stuff so it's not likely that there will be a good open source replacement to Revit for example any time soon.

I really don't want to pirate software in general but if the license is like $2500 / yearly it's such a ridicolous amount that there is no good options left.
I don't think the lawsuit will go anywhere, but I'm also not sure how much choice he would have had for the 10th anniversary cover. He would have still been young - what, 12 or 13 at the oldest? - and could have easily been forced into it by his parents.

But I am pretty sure that - as long as he wasn't fairly poor (which warps perception) - he could have told them no on the 20th and 25th.
It's difficult to answer this.

I think people have a natural goodness in them, a will to help or contribute when somebody asks for it. And opposite to that, they feel bad when declining such requests.

That's why I decline based on the type of request. When somebody rudely plans over my lunch and calls the invite "meeting", I don't respond at all. Not even with a decline.

If the request is polite (we are blocked in our progress and really could use your help), I would go out of my way to somehow help them.
> A hyper efficient, fully electric bus system.

Cars aren't efficient. The zoning should be such that things are close by enough. Then with proper cycling infrastructure you can just go by bike. As a result you'll need way less road. As cycling infrastructure is cheap and road maintenance is costly, it'll reduce expenses for e.g. cities.

> European cities with decent public transit.

I'd rather have the mix of public transport, bicycles and roads. Combined with proper zoning. Loads of electric cars just increases demand for a highly inefficient transportation method.

Nice to hear that crypto is helping people in such dire need of economic stability, although it was not clear from the article what happens to the lebanese cash that was used to purchase USDT.

To also provide some constructive feedback:

A good point of comparison is this website: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

It's also a product targetted at technical people, including people working at startups and also large enterprise.

No popups.

When you click the community edition download link -- bam -- it is immediately downloading! No form to fill in.

I don't even use their tools much any more, except for the Rust plugin. Nonetheless, I read through their "what's new" release notes, even for Java, because it is so well presented: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/

I don't have to sit through an hour-long YouTube video watching some guy introducing some other guy I don't care about for five minutes. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant

Instead they have GIFs showing short, to-the-point snippets of exactly what each feature does. Note that these don't animate by default! You have to click them to play the clip. I love that. They're helpful without being distracting while I'm reading nearby text.

It also gives you an idea of what the product looks like in actual use.

You have no idea how much crap people wade through to find this! I often spend hours googling terms like "Product X Screenshot", "Product X real-world", "Product X tutorial" in the futile attempt to just find out what the heck to expect. Is it a green-screen terminal app kept alive like some sort of crime against nature? Is it a web application? Does it come with a Windows-only GUI? If so, is it at least a usable one? Does it have command-line tools? PowerShell? Tab-complete?

You go to a site like JetBrains, and you see exactly that! Real-world code being manipulated, showing you the product in all its glory.

So show this! Show ScyllaDB doing something. Don't just talk about how it's 47% more snazzy than a competing product I haven't used.

Show it doing a schema change nearly instantly on a terabyte of data, or whatever. But show me the product, or I walk away until I find a website that isn't afraid of letting me see what they're selling...

Beginner's guide: How to learn to code
Are you being intentionally obtuse or...?

It is well known that various freedom fighter / terrorist groups are not just protecting their women and children / taking women and children to the hospital and then getting attacked. These cells have long terms presence in those places. They are firing rockets from the rooftops of schools and hospitals. Like with that building in Palestine that the IDF drone-struck that the AP worked out of but apparently Hamas did too and this was a known quantity.
No sorry, there is no complex geopolitical matters at play here. It is actually very simple.

These are civilians minding their own business. You don't get the right to murder them just because you are fighting nearby with some other group of people.

If that most basic of human rights is not protected then nothing is.

You might maybe be able to excuse civilian causalities in some total war scenario where your own safety is literally at risk. But that is very far from what is happening here.
calling resized thumbnails metadata is a bit of a stretch imo.

I don't follow. This is how the Library of Congress catalogs books. That is the truth in the data.

I don't see the problem with having a category for books on Central Europe in general and another section for individual countries that happen to be in Central Europe. Some books cover general topics and others specialize. Shouldn't we expect datasets that describe the content of books to reflect this?
I think it might, spamming same meme images over and over is quite common in some servers. On other hand the bigger pictures might overhelm these just in size.

I find it difficult to agree with this statement. But perhaps I am biased towards no-code.

I have always been able to find a way around when implementing complex business logic.

A very peculiar use case I had to solve was for a parking slot booking app - limited spots available, one spot can hold either one large vehicle (car) or six 2-wheelers.

So essentially it became like how you mentioned-> if x=car then parking spots available can only be N choices. If x = bike, then spots is 6N or 6(N-1) if someone booked a spot for a car. If spots remaining = 3 then x can not be Car.

Took me a couple of days to get it working but i was in the end able to get a working app built purely with no-code on DronaHQ.

Disclaimer - I work with DronaHQ.
