This appears to be cutting of their nose to spite their face. We have a team of 50+ engineers that all use Docker for Mac for daily development tasks, but I suspect that will no longer be true in a rather short amount of time. Frankly, I don’t really know if anybody actually uses the UI components for it outside of starting and stopping the engine and for basic configuration of the VM. Everything else that comes with it is just useless cruft for our use cases.

As soon as there is a viable alternative (and I’d be happy to contribute to the effort), I’ll be moving away from Docker for Mac.

Haltingly, ineffectively, and temporarily. 4-7 million people and counting have died from a disease that most experts still agree could have been stopped if we were willing to actually move away from a growth goal.

But, I think your conclusion is right. The people have the power to change our goals, even if those in power refuse.
I think anybody who thinks this is a silly fairy tale has never worked in a good work environment; they really can work like this.

Time is the best healer. I think this is a common fallacy that explains a lot of questionable health practices, chiropractic care for instance. I say that as a firm believer in chiropractic care. But science shows the back would heal itself even without someone cracking it. It’s no surprise many attribute the healing to the cracking. There’s a reason double blind studies are needed. The placebo effect is, like time, also a great healer.
I'm no lawyer, there might be some exceptions, but I don't believe TV-commercials would be one. Compare to the Fedex case linked elsewhere in this thread:

To quote from the ruling (internal quotations, which all of this is, and citations omitted)

> A licensee to make and use is not (in the absence of specific language in his license) limited to making with his own hands, in his own shop, or by his own employes. He may employ, procure, or contract with as many persons as he chooses to supply him with that which he may lawfully use, provided such conduct does not change his relation to the licensor.”

Displaying the picture to recruit new soldiers seems to me to be a non-commercial use, assuming you accept that (which I admit I am asserting without support) paying to have it be displayed on TV doesn't make it commercial.
>I personally would not take the risk given the benefit is just a pan that things stick to less.

Being able to use less cooking oils is a material benefit, especially considering the obesity rates we see in the developed world.
I don't think we can ever get rid of app stores but I am pro multiple app stores per operating system.

The only downside I see to multiple app stores is having to download multiple stores to get certain apps, kinda what it is like with purchasing video games on steam versus origin, etc. That is although minor, still an inconvenience.

Yes, privacy.

Encrypted messaging apps are all the rage nowadays but in my opinion, encryption is not the real attraction --- privacy is.

Privacy as in, only approved contacts are allowed to send me messages. Everything else is filed as spam.

I have thought about implementing this myself but I have yet to find the time.
>> maybe your work isn't good enough, or at least appealing to a large enough audience.

That is very true. In my case, I found the type of fiction that sells is in a few mainstream genres, and in series (so you write a dozen books, all with a hard boiled detective, for example). Thats why every book nowadays is in a series, because publishers (traditional and indie)have figured out this is the "formula" to success.

I like to experiment and play-- one thing I didnt mention in the oriignal comment, a big reason that caused me to burnout-- writing for the "market", or trying to write in a way that appeals to the mainstream, or at least a large number of people. Forcing yourself to write a book in a way that would appeal to many people-- while you can do it short term, over long term, I began to hate what I was doing and one day, I just couldnt type anymore.

It all comes back to doing it for the love, and accepting that perhaps this will always remain a hobby.
There's a Goldilocks zone in which something mostly resembling free market can exist. Beyond that zone, there's some old boys network running the show, where who's married to whom, who plays <leisure sport for rich dudes> with whom, and who's chums with whom are the things that matter.
I'm sure the 'third world' is bracing for the ecological disaster this will create. Anybody with a device more than four years old will toss it right in the trash and buy something new.

Sure, it will create lots of devices for us *nix people, but that won't stop tens or hundreds of thousands of working computers going to "recycling". Of course, we don't actually recycle e-waste, we just put it on a barge and take it to SE Asia or Africa where children burn it to harvest the metals.

The "greenwashing" of new devices is harmful - the best thing we can do is continue to use the ones we already have, and make them more repairable and supportable. A big part of that responsibility falls to Microsoft, who has done something reprehensible here.

I agree on a personal level, although at a societal level I believe regulation is required.

As per the parent comment to my original one, I just fundamentally do not believe that most advertising contributes anything positive to society and mostly generates negative externalities.
I'll preface this by saying I'm an IBM employee. That being said your comment rubbed me the wrong way...

> wouldn't you rather support Docker vs IBM (Redhat->Podman)?

Podman is an open source product and Docker is not. I'd much rather support an open source project. And what's wrong with "supporting" IBM anyways? Did they hurt you in some way???
Folks understand L1 and L5. The levels between are such a blur and mix-match of things that I don't think anything is even accomplished having these levels. I agree with you, from what I have seen Tesla is far ahead and rapidly progressing using the right approach of training NNs while having a human behind the wheel.
I have many pieces of well-used nonstick cookware well over a decade old, which are in pretty much the same condition as when I bought them. This includes cheap IKEA pans that my kids used. Some of them get used literally every day. We don't overheat them, and don't use metal utensils in them, and there's no reason they can't last forever.

Regardless, you can eat the entire coating off of your pan, and there will be no detectable fluorinated compounds in your blood. PTFE is completely inert and indigestible. It is widely used in medical implants inside people's bodies, with no detectable leaching of any chemicals.

To be fair, same things apply when your team isn't working remotely. It is not like being able to plan one day in advance has less value when you work in person.

It is just that remote working mercilessly exposes some of the flaws in the organization.

For example, people who look for a way to slack off now can do this much easier. The problem really is selecting right personnel and motivating them. If you try to treat the problem with a stick it most likely will fail with remote people.
Though I take your point, poster design doesn't allow (or aim for) a huge amount of nuance.

And I'd guess that Apple was likely chosen as the "tracks you" because they push their privacy angle, despite not quite living up to it. It makes sense in that way to target them - if they're widely considered as better than alternatives, what does that say about the alternatives?

There is really not much more. It's simply the observation that strict time limits lead to the time always being used, and augmented the value of the limited resource - video gaming here. The cigarette analogy in the other reply is great. I saw that with children age 10 to 15, for what it's worth.

You see that observation echoed in the context of alternative strategies, as described on https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-teens-video-game-rules-limi... for ADHD (whether that exists does not matter here, in any case the strategies listed there are not limited to it) for example. I read better sources, but I don't find them now, probably just some random articles with some experts attacking a majority position (that screen time limits are good) that I thought convincing, like they pop up sometimes.
time is not unlimited, where did I say that? But you can commute 1 hour away and get much cheaper rents in almost any location on Earth. You trade off one extra hour each way for some cash.

From a long term perspective, real estate in Western urban areas has appreciated depending how you calculate something like 1 - 2% per year since the late 19th century. The short term trend varies wildly.
I honestly didn’t think they would do something like this either. I figured they were simply moving to an Apple model of giving away new versions for free since the enterprise subscriptions would be more than enough to pay for the development.

Maybe people will never leave Windows, but I think this is a mistake on Microsoft’s part. We’ve had them as great business partners for the past several decades in the public sector. Not only do they understand Enterprise better than their competitors, their monopoly also produced a generation or two of workers who knew how to use a PC for office purposes.

That last part isn’t true for the next generation to enter the workforce. If they know anything non-mobile it’s Mac OS/X. Once enough people stop being good at Windows it’ll no longer make sense for Enterprise organisations to keep paying the licenses. It’ll be decades before it becomes a threat to Microsoft and I’m sure they already know more about this than me, but I really don’t see where they are heading with Windows 11 in the private market except from out of it because nobody wants to buy an OS in 2021.
Perfect timestamp for this.
Sorry the example on the docs is definitely not a good one, though I've had a hard time finding something more appropriate that can fit within that block :) Suggestions are more than welcome!

Hash keys need to be string (eg. n -> n.str()), I fixed the example on the homepage.
Accessibility. I started becoming farsighted when I closed in on 40. I need bigger fonts and more aggressive UI scaling on a 4K monitor to be able to operate without squinting or headaches. Linux distros have come a long way in the last 5 years, but there are still many apps and window managers that ignore these settings.
> Did you see the presentation from Karpathy?

Based on the enthusiasm in your comment, you clearly have not owned a Tesla for more than 2 years.
Sorry it is a bit confusing, the overall terms and conditions update is as of now, but the part about paying has a grace period but obviously we want people to know now what will apply. The terms are not very different from previous terms (although I did get the old no benchmarking clause removed, I don't know why we had that there).
I agree.

I also sense a desperate Hollywood clinging to this as a "reboot" to 'Them!'.
> When peaceful Occupie Wall Street protestors were brutalized at scale, I think the whole world noticed

And within a short time, everything was back to business as usual. Then in 2020, Black Lives Matter protestors were brutalized at scale. The whole world took notice, the police kept beating the shit out of people, a lot of lip service was paid, and nothing changed.

I'm not advocating for a violent revolution here, but what about meekly letting the state beat the shit out of you seems to be working?

Somehow, I'm reminded of the Tsar tank from WW1. The Russians knew that a new weapon of war: an armored car, was necessary to break the stalemate of trench warfare.

This hypothetical armored car needed many features: the most important was that it must be able to move across the muddy no man's land reliably.

Tests have shown that regular sized wheels would get stuck in the mud. A bigger wheel has more surface area and greater contact area. So the Russians built an armored car with the largest wheels possible. Russian tests were outstanding, the Tsar tank rolled over a tree !!!!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank

The French design was to use caterpillar tracks. We know what works now since we have a century of hindsight.

--------

Spending the most money to make the biggest wheel isn't necessarily the path to victory. I think it's more likely that the tech (aka, caterpillar track equivalent) hasn't been invented yet for robotaxis. Hitting the problem with bigger and more expensive neural network computers doesn't seem to be the right way to solve the problem.
> Austerity measures will include wage and price controls (like Nixon did in 1970s), sky high interest rates.

^This is my biggest concern.

Thus far real estate has been my favorite investment. I assume though if interest rates go up peoples buying power and hence prices will go down. If I liquidate my investments I will owe taxes and I fear inflation will eat up the cash value.

Max is an infinitely flexible space to create your own interactive software
People choose from what is presented to them. That's consumerism. It's not like people get to pick what gets produced. If more public interest material is available and advertised, it'll get watched more. The alternative is to watch less TV and engage with society directly more. Both of those outcomes would be preferable to the excessive production and consumption of entertainment.

Private broadcasters do not pick material based on public interest or even their judgment of what is good. It is far more mechanical and influenced entirely by market forces. Herman and Chomsky discuss this in Chapter 1 of Manufacturing Consent.

> Do you personally know anyone that has been "canceled" and suffered severe long-term consequences for it?

That's a loose definition. I know someone who was beaten up very badly and spent weeks in a hospital with a good chance of not making it through. A few years later and they look totally normal. Were there severe long-term consequences? After all, you couldn't even tell just by looking at them.

I don't think the "long-term outcome" should be relevant in judging anything of that nature, and cancelling is similar. Sure, they might not commit suicide, their career might even recover, but they've gone through a lot of shit that was totally unnecessary.

Android was effectively launched in 2008, per Wikipedia: "It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008."

In this case, I'm not sure how to square new innovation (smart phones first launching in 2008) with slow regulation.
I've come across this in the past when researching modern 68k CPUs.

Pretty cool. It's too bad there's not more energy put into manufacturing legacy hardware with modern processes… something like a Pi Zero sized 68k machine capable of running System 7.5 or Mac OS 8 (which handle monochrome displays well) hooked up to an e-ink display in an ultrabook case would make for a very compelling writing/focus machine… it'd boot nearly instantly from modern storage and would have resource usage in the ballpark of that of a headless Linux install while sporting a full UI.
>The defining characteristic of cancel culture has always been using collective online action to have someone ostracized from social or political circles, removed from their job or professional relationships, etc.

That's because the whole thing is a moral panic imagined by liberals in the media who were mad that people could reply to them without the filter of the NYT letter pages editor (it was then embraced by conservatives as well for similar reasons and because "you can't even say X anymore" is convenient way to push the buttons of older conservatives). Most of the supposedly dire results of being 'cancelled' are utterly irrelevant to the vast majority of people because most of them are various forms of 'not getting as many media gigs'. Ordinary people can't get 'cancelled' because we don't make a living going on CNN or giving talks at universities.

Sure you can cherry pick examples of people saying something stupid on social media and their workplace massively overreacting (similarly you could find real examples behind the moral panics of the 80s and 90s - well ok, maybe not actual demonic possession but most of the rest of it was based on at least a few semi-real cases). That's not what any of the people crying about cancel culture care about. If it was they'd be advocating for stronger protection for employees.

The desired solution is of course always to regulate social media so that the nasty mob can no longer reply to opinion columnists and they can go back to splitting their time between writing poorly researched rants and trying to get academics who disagree with them fired.
> You need the submicron particle to travel on a larger liquid particule for it to adhere to the filter lattice

That's what intuition would suggest, but intuition turns out to be wrong when dealing with filters for microscopic things. There are at least four mechanisms by which a filter can trap particles, three of which work on particles smaller than the pores [1].

Briefly:

1. Big particles don't fit between the fibers of the filter. Think fish in a fish net. This is called sieving.

2. Particles too small for sieving but heavier than the surrounding flow don't make the turns as well as the surrounding flow when the flow goes around the fibers. The particles can get embedded in the fibers. This mechanism is called inertial impaction.

3. The smallest might be too small to actually be affected much by the flow of the surrounding fluid through the filter. The move by diffusion, and many will randomly hit the fibers and get stuck.

4. Particles too big for diffusion but too light for inertial impaction still can run into fibers and get stuck. This is called interception.

The effectiveness of sieving, inertial impaction, and interception all follow S shaped curves that start out low for small particles, then at some point start rising, and then level out. The sieving curve's rise is almost vertical. The rise for inertial impaction is steep but not nearly as steep as it is for sieving. The curve for interception's rise is much more relaxed.

The effectiveness for diffusion goes the other way. Much more effective for very small particles, then above some size drops down and is low from then on.

When you put all these together, you get a curve that is effective at the small end, and at some point as size goes up effectiveness drops, reaching a minimum, and then rises again to reach high effectiveness for particles above some certain size.

There is also a fifth mechanism in some filters where electrostatic attraction between the fibers and the particles catches some particles.
