Alternatives certainly exist - I've been moving myself rapidly in that direction after my nearly 20 years of Apple use has come to an end (at a remarkably low sysadmin-hours-per-year level, that's going to go up substantially). Unfortunately, most of them aren't quite ready for standard daily driver use.

I've been daily driving a PineBook Pro, and despite some custom kernel hacking I've done, I still don't have reliably sound after sleep... unless I don't have sleep enabled properly, at which point it won't last the night on battery. Pick your poison. Or do more kernel hacking. It's something related to device sleep/resume on the audio chip, which I eventually found some NDA'd datasheets for. Fortunately, I can use 2.4GHz wifi out where I live, because 5GHz is also weirdly broken unless you perform the right incantations after power cycle.

At this point, I think "those who can" move away from the core ecosystems have an obligation to do so, and try to pave the road in front of us. Right now, it's cobblestones at best (if you ignore the potholes), and a lot of people simply won't go that way. As long as the alternatives start with "Well, as long as you don't mind..." and then a list of features people consider important... they're going to remain alternatives.

But, at the same time, I find myself considering how much hassle is worth it to "remain in the ecosystems." Yes. I can do a lot of work to smooth out rough edges, write my own kernel modules to work around hardware quirks (I really should upstream the sleep changes), figure out alternatives to things that don't work, do Matrix bridges, and...

At what point is it simply not worth it? At what point is trying to keep up with modern consumer tech, to de-fang it, and make it work for me instead against of me just more hassle than it's worth? If anything mainstream is eventually going to get updates that turn it against me (which I consider updates like this to be), then... why bother? The benefits are great, but if the downsides and workarounds and time cost are too much, then I should consider if I actually want to be part of that.

I've already done this with cell phones. Apple pissed me off with on-device CSAM scanning enough (well, that was the final straw) that I've gone back to a flip phone. I could go Pixel, Graphene, etc, but I've decided to experiment with what I actually miss out on, going back to a flip phone. I've de-fanged my previous phone a lot, so it's less of a change than for a lot of people, but... a few weeks in, I actually haven't missed a smartphone that much.

I object strongly to the whole "You pay for the tech which then collects data and makes money on the backend optimizing the advertising feed to your pair of eyeballs" model that is more and more a part of consumer tech, so perhaps the right answer is to simply opt out of it. It's a recent addition to life. We can go back to what worked before.
It may also be the case that this effect is limited in time, until the pay to COL ratio approaches the pre-raise point.

I think you're right there and I think it suffers from the political context in which it was written. The near future America of Peripheral was far stronger and more convincing, even politically, than the near future America of Agency.
For google, you need to create a second account. There is no escape. At least it's free. I have an italian and a canadian account and that's the only way to make it work (I will have soon dual citizenship).

On the upside, all google apps do work with 2 accounts
Ohhhh I see. My mistake!
By “success” I mean at curating talent, which the author claims Cowen is the best at in the world. It’s easy to recognize talent many years into someone’s career when they’ve accomplished a lot.

I’m curious what his record is like in finding people with talent who haven’t yet done much.
> Help me understand why you think you have a Freedom to Smell Nice Things

"... certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" - US Constitution (enormously grateful for the sacrifices made to keep those freedoms)

You are right that it comes down to different values. I choose to live where these things are enforced, and you can choose, if you wish, to live where they are not.

I do like the sound of [parts] your first paragraph, where people are responsible about how they spread their poo on their garden right next to my garden... however, consider that same situation with an irresponsible (or ignorant) peerson spreading their poo on their garden right next to your garden. Considering how rain and water flow works,
you have a not-unlikely possibility of ingesting their poo (and enjoying whatever diseases follow).

I'm glad poo-handling is regulated.

Small OS projects can be done in any language. Java has an OS built from it. Real Linux and systems projects can only be done with very low level languages.

Discord switched from Go to Rust because of slowness issues, I promise if its too slow for an app its too slow for OS.

If Go wants to be a very low level "systems everywhere" then get rid of the GC. Or alternatively stop ranking it above Rust and C++, when its apples to oranges.

I think mflamespin is right, besides, depending on how do you implement inserts, you can even do bulk inserts on your db and as a bonus the usability of your api
I think the main problem of all these “alternative” sites is that there really are just a fuckton of shitty people waiting to go in at the very beginning. So even if people have legitimate concerns and the desire to build fresh, they are quickly pushed out by real cesspool denizens.
It's rare, but possible.

Known of v high level example that is just incredibly disciplined about how they spend their time (e.g. "I did this, but was slowed significantly by poor code over that. Estimate about 30% time loss. I'm going to spend N weeks more in this area, so it's worth me spending 3.5 days fixing that code, but no more. I think I can fix it in about 2 days, so I will fix it. If I can't see the end of the fix by the time I'm 4 hours in, then I'm probably wrong about the expected time, so will abandon the fix").

The result is ridiculous productivity. They don't work long hours (strictly 9-5), but just very, very focused on making certain that there will be meaningful results from those hours.

So they exist, but absolutely it's not going to be common!
I agree, but it comes across as unprincipled and reactionary when this stuff is always done as a consequence of bad PR or high profile subs throwing a fit.
that's called the transfer admission guarantee (TAG) program, and it's a fantastic opportunity to reboot a mediocre academic record.

however TAG does not confer eligibility into a number of STEM (and STEM-adjacent, like medicine) programs within many highly competitive departments at the UC system.

For example the neuroscience programs at UCSD do not automatically accept TAG applicants, you have to be qualified by the program's own rubric regardless of securing a TAG spot for the school itself.
contrary to what you might believe truth and lies do in fact exist and while the line can be blurry at times, anti-vax misinformation happens to be firmly on one side of that equation, and taking it down prevents real physical harm.

Surprised this didn't get more comments. It seems like an interesting direction to explore in terms of Einstein's "no experiment can differentiate between gravity and acceleration". If clocks are inherently noisy and presumably spaghettification inside a black hole would increase noise, then maybe that helps resolve some singularity problems. Rather than a singularity prior to which all is normal, there's just a gradual general degradation of reality until nothing makes sense anymore. Closer to the dying process, perhaps, than sudden annihilation.
I thought this post by a former mod of another forum that went through this was interesting.

This is the answer I was looking for. Never heard of a solver. Can you explain what they are used for typically? (How do you cheat at a game with so much randomness involved?)

Second thought... that only means that most people can't use them. Obviously some people are as those two companies are still in business selling their wares.

It's far more complicated than that. The maxim doesn't model a world where everyone has a smarts score, and everyone knows what everyone else's score is. That's not how the world works.

What it's really saying is that if you believe that you are the smartest person in the room, and you are there just to teach, as you have little to learn, that you need to be in a room where you really believe you have a lot to learn from the others there. This is true regardless of how much better, or worse, you happen to be.

I sure have seen rooms where almost everyone thought they were the smartest person in the room, and others where nobody thought they were the smartest. A common problem in startups is that you end up building the first room, when you really need to be building the second.

I found this meant reliably getting at least a B in the courses at Caltech. Getting an A required considerably more work.

My high school technique of not bothering to do much of anything and still getting an A took a year and a half of abject failure at Caltech before I wised up. Fortunately, Caltech's freshman year was pass/fail, evidently they were familiar with people like me :-)
I don’t think they do. They switch to very low power states, on big.little systems they power off half of the CPU cores. But some CPU cores, and all of the RAM are still powered, the main OS doesn’t have other place to live.

With different OS design it might be possible to power off more components of the phone when idle, while being able to wake up fast enough.
Unfortunately Swift is kind of verbose to read and doesn't really look good in Godbolt (this is why I didn't link it–also, it only does Intel). Instead I compiled on my own machine and opened the binary in Ghidra.
Very nice! Glad to hear they've addressed this limitation. Updated the original post.
Apple says [0]: "These calculations are performed live on the iPhone using a crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data that is generated by tens of millions of iPhones sending the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple."

The phone uses a local database of wifi locations to help triangulate on-device. Separately, the locations of wifi APs are uploaded to apple to maintain the database, but the source of the data is not saved, just the location of the WAP. A subset of the database is cached on-device.

They tried to clear this up in a 2011 press release but of course it just comes down to trusting it works the way apple says it does:

Was the whole password to SSH key switch annoying at all for anyone else? Like procedurally its simple but I have a bunch of accounts, a bunch of different repos. It just felt annoying even if the end-result desire for the system operator (GitHub) is maybe desirable... ("our users are better off according to our definitions of security")

Let me use a password if I want, these security requirements are becoming increasing absurd - I could realistically see people just checking out of services if these invasive procedures continue. Just kidding, a lad can dream. Yeah it's not rocket surgery to add the ssh key and then clone it to your different machines but if you have strict sprint deadline or something and you haven't pulled from your repo in a day and suddenly you can't run your workflow, then that's really pretty annoying to have to run the context switch and do some random bullshit to appease your vendor's obnoxious requirements. If Millenials ever learn software engineering en-masse maybe they would decry this lack of consent in daily software engineering operations. (Haha jk... not really, but I'm a Millenial so it's ok for me to say this)

Passwords are 100% the weakest link in our beep boop chain of trust, of course - we know this. But maybe they should just be rethought from the ground up instead of randomly affecting your users all the time with security nonsense.

EDIT: WOW speak of the devil, I literally just received an email saying on of my earlier keys is about to expire (personal account vs my employer GitHub account). Seriously shoot me in the face, why do I have to constantly update stuff to comply with requirements without getting paid? Just kidding, but almost not.

De rigeur despairing comment, which will be downvoted into obscurity:

That such efforts are necessary, and as the commentary shows, an active area of interest and hacking and development by so many very smart people,

is an absolute condemnation on the dystopian state of the surveillance capitalism that so many of us here have helped build.

It's not malicious actors that are the sole or even primary vector being blocked. It's the now-systemic misbehavior of so many of our own products and services.
If you judge someone by how they treat people, Bezos is not a "fairly good person." Whether it's warehouse workers, businesses that "partner" on Amazon, or corporate employees, Bezos treats people like shit.

I also question whether he has "good motivations." He wanted to dominate commerce. Not just books, but everything sold. This is not a good motivation and Amazon should be getting busted up.

The whole exercise was dumb. Flying up and then down on a rocket is a difference in degree, rather than type, from taking a ride on the Vomit Comet.

Orbit -- half way to anywhere -- that's the accomplishment.
In this case none of the accesses should fail because they can all be statically observed to be in-bounds; unfortunately the Swift compiler was not able to see that.
But it does have material impact on others.

The Starlink constellations in this proposal are large, and any future development by others will have to account for the orbits of these potential constellations.

That's 30k new objects to plan for, and with two configurations at play, that means accounting for essentially 60k objects in motion, effectively doubling the work someone would have to do to plan their deployments.
The goal of standards is to improve our future actions
I have the opposite takeaway actually.

Contract protests are pretty common, although they don't always make it to the Court of Federal Claims. OTOH, filing a lawsuit saying that the government should shut down another launch provider even when you're not competing for the same contracts (yet) seems like more of a kneecapping effort. Like I said, SpaceX and ULA both filed lawsuits before they ever made it to orbit so I don't think that criticism applies exclusively to one company.
If you are in an engineering context, where you are building/fixing stuff that is responsible for profitability, then YOU ARE SLEAZY for not speaking/writing the truth.

If you choose to build your career on helping others avoid the consequences of their mistakes, then you are part of the problem.

So far as I know, Apple can change arbitrary bits in the memory and file system of any online device they make. So, they can turn it off, change files, change the functioning of processes and apps, including removing any particular app. They can cause an iPhone to not display an image of or transmit the details of a drivers license, even if one is stored in the device, despite the effort of the user.

But the status of being licensed to drive is kept in one or several databases controlled by one or many states or agencies. Similarly, the status of having a credit card is kept in a database controlled by at least one credit card company. Licenses and payment accounts can be verified for everyday use with less than 100bits even without a physical or digital representation of the card face available.

If Apple can stop a device from transmitting or displaying license details, then I guess you'll... need either a physical copy or the license number.

Two layers of 9mm used to be quite common in UK if you are aiming for a robust, heavy, quality feeling wall. One layer of 12mm feels cheap, not that hard to put a hole in it while moving furniture etc. One layer of 15mm board is common now though.
I think the customer support requests would be far greater on browser based rooms due to different browsers and plugins.

There are a few JAVA based rooms out there but again they are subject to a third party (Oracle) pushing an update that could bring their site down.

A common thing I saw when I was in a CC was students attending classes to a certain point, they would get a stipend from the financial aid office (I believe for books) after the add drop period. After that the people would just stop coming to the class. A month in it was a ghost town. Always on the initial gen Ed classes, not sure how long they kept that going for.
> which results in a terrible UX for our users' visitors and, again, complicates everything

In all seriousness: have you considered not tracking users then if you already know they would dislike it?
If they get similar build quality, then yes.

I know I'll miss the track point, as it seems I'm the only one to use it a lot.
