Sometimes I try to imagine what the app store rules would look like if apple had to abide by those same rules for all of their own apps. I imagine the rules would be much more lenient, app review a lot less error prone, and developers would be chafed far less by those golden handcuffs.

Pretty sure apple’s developer documentation would still be bad though.
The problem as I see it is that everybody acts like their pet issue not only matters more than any other but more than all of them put together. Thus you get somebody posting something about LGBTQ+ issues, then somebody else trying to shut them down over a phrase that could be interpreted as racially insensitive, then they in their turn are accused of being able-ist, and so on. I see this merry-go-round every day on Twitter or Tumblr.

Fun fact: nobody scores 100% on any test of "right thinking" across a wide range of issues, by any political faction's definition of what "right thinking" would be. Wouldn't it be amazing if they did? But they can be right on the vast majority, they can be articulate and effective as advocates on all of them, but then that one wrong answer is used to hang them and all of that positive effect is lost. What's left is just the negative, which we're drowning in.

By all means, advocate for what you believe in. Call out people whose behavior you believe is harmful. But have some perspective, have some proportion, and don't casually throw out due process whenever it suits you.
Landbot Review 2021
Hi there, I'm the lead on this project. We're trying to improve the dev experience for service development. Lots of folks who have workflows on top of docker-compose, but there is still a big gap between what compose can offer and what real projects and organizations need. This release of our tool, exo, adds compose compatibility and provides a nice graphical log viewer, some UX for starting/stopping containers, etc. We've got big plans, but would love to hear from you about what would improve your den env.

Also, if you have compose projects that don't work, please do file an issue on github! Exo is open source: https://github.com/deref/exo - We're aiming for extremely robust compose compatibility, but aren't 100% there yet.
That is awesome :D I know it should work... it's too easy to make work today, but I can't help imagine being back in the 90s and showing someone classic MacOS running on a tablet. It would blow their mind.

Also the e-ink display running classic is very reminiscent of one of the early LCD displays in this old thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Portable

> Why I'm not switching? Because every time I login there is something that needs a quick update or a quick fix.

You mean every time you log into Windows 10, there is something to update, so you don't have time to switch?
I wonder how well it will run on the minimum requirements.

Try running Windows 10 either directly or as a VM on a hard drive, it is painfully slow. Things like installing updates will just take hours to days and antivirus scans will make the system unusable. IMO, Windows basically requires a SSD.
Those are all possible, but according to the DoE 95% of large scale storage in the US is pumped storage hydro:

LiveCode drops its open source support
It's kind of crazy how long Preview.app has been one the best at what it does. I remember it being a minor revolution back in the early 2000s, running like butter compared to the clunky-even-then Adobe Reader and handily sweeping up a few different format viewers into one app.

It's been 20 years and still no other desktop environment ships with a true equivalent.

How is that even a paradox? It's simply speaking an optimization problem in two dependent variables, and it looks confusing because of an impossible premisses and the conflation of terms.

Arriving at the paradox that an infinitely tolerant society can be also infinitely intolerant at the same time. Which is pretty much a given if intolerance and tolerance are axiomatically on the same scale (as the nameing of the terms would suggest).

This is pretty much equivalent to this thread's topic, that a arbitrarily reasonable person may tell somebody they were not reasonable, not just slightly less reasonable or actually, reasonably bad, but just approachung zero reasonable, or infinite un-reasonable. But no, there's no logic in this.
My main gripe is that, according to some of the comments, a Microsoft account will be required, at least for the home version. It might seem like nitpicking, and perhaps many people wouldn't consider it a major hurdle, but if I'm paying for an OS, I like the idea of it being a product and not a service, especially if it's paid for as a product. Tying logins more strongly to online accounts also sounds bad from a privacy perspective, and I'd like any online services to be there only if I need them, not pushed to me as a necessity.

Essentially, I want the core software on my computer to just provide a working environment for me and my applications. I don't want it to be an entire online system of services the vendor wants me to want. Helpful additional services are nice, but none of it should be required for a product to work.

I'm also not fond of the idea of having to explain to my elderly parents why they need to register for yet another online account with yet another litany of terms and conditions just in order to use their computer.
YoY trends don't matter in isolation as you're trying to decide to make an investment.

I disagree. I mean sure, it's a good thing (if true) that race is less significant than politics in choosing a partner, but why should we have to pick one?

unless you're part of a very select group of activists, politicians, or wealthy donors, your impact on world issues is pretty much negligible. the political opinions of the average person are much less significant than they might think. but what we can do is have a strong impact on the people who are actually in our lives, and that has very little to do with politics.

if I change my political positions to please a potential partner, that doesn't really change the big picture. if I refuse to date someone because of their political views, I again have not moved the needle at scale, but I have closed the door on a potentially happy partnership.

my parents have had a long and happy marriage despite deep disagreements over political issues. the disagreement is so strong that they had to agree years ago to simply not have those discussions. I guess that's not exactly the model of tolerance, but I am glad they found a way around that. if they hadn't, either my family would have been ripped in half, or I wouldn't have been born at all. and the rest of the world would be the same as it is today.
Isn't it just one time export which by function of TOTP is synced and not an actual sync like in 1Password? i.e. Only the accounts which were available when you exported would be there in another device.
I just checked my Music and Fitness+ subscriptions and they both say “If you cancel now, you can still access your subscription until X.”
Of course they do. Every invasive thing I'm made aware of, will be blocked.

My home network runs Pi-Hole, and every browser has uBlock Origin. The Internet has been a bearable place. And then I happened to show my 2 year old a cartoon from Youtube on a non-adblocked device.

My. Freaking. God.

It's full of ads.

The cartoon is 10 minutes. Every minute, an 15-second, at the very least, ad rolls in. Like fucking gnats by the river in the summer: you get one, two, and then you are swarmed in them. There weren't the yellow markers anywhere on the progress slider, too.

Not all of those ads were good for kids, too. One was, I kid you not, an ad for Jira. An ad for the fucking Jira, in the middle of a cartoon. Won't anybody think of the children!?

My daughter was very much not impressed. So was I.

I promptly got uBlock Origin running, and youtube-dl'd the whole channel those cartoons were in, for good measure.
You’re going to spend scarce engineering resources reimplementing a Docker for Mac alternative, then roll out your immature alternative to 50+ engineers, instead of paying a few hundred dollars a month for a good product and moving on?

It seems to me you would be the one cutting off your nose to spite your face in this scenario.

I used to be an avid Linux Mint user and would constantly promote it to friends and colleagues, but no longer. I still really like Mint and Ubuntu in general and is far better than the Windows spyware/unstoppable forced updates nightmare, but it makes an impractical daily OS for me and I have switched to macOS. The primary reason is for music/audio production for which I have invested a significant amount of money and time for Logic and the entire Universal Audio ecosystem using Luna as the DAW. I am well-aware of the Linux alternatives, but I am unwilling to make a switch right now and there simply is no equivalent to Luna on any OS or platform.

Another issue I had with Linux desktop distros is with software compatibility and inconsistency of available binaries among the them. I got really sick of trying to build libraries from source just install simple apps or libs. I do enough of that in my day job.

I am not hating in Linux though. There a great many advantages and for simple use cases it’s more than adequate. I even had my teenage daughter use Mint for a while until I broke down and had to get her a Macbook when she started university (there were some specific system requirements that their software had, and it wasn’t compatible with *nix).
The Rohingya: Tracking the history of today’s refugee crisis
I agree with you entirely on sugar. My point was more about small barely noticeable changes adding up easily. In this case the kids may have eaten until they felt full as they normally did, which is how their bodies normally regulated their weight, but because they moved slightly less and may have had some extra snacks or soda that didn't really satiate them, the extra calories added up.

https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2021/03/22/coronavirus-lockd...

American adults also gained about a pound and a half per month on average as well. Maybe not noticeable after one month, but definitely after twelve. Same situation, you're used to having a certain size breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, drink, or whatever, your body has been used to doing that for however many years, but then you move slightly less and you're slightly closer to your kitchen all the time.
Trillion parameter networks are mentioned a few times, but Tesla is deploying much smaller networks than that (like tens of millions IMU). Trillion param networks are mostly transformers like GPT-3 (actually 175B) etc... that are particularly heavy vs Conv as they have no weight sharing. Tesla is definitely starting to use transformers though, e.g. for camera fusion and evidenced by their focus on matrix multiply in dojo asic's vs the conv asics they have in the on-vehicle chips.
I'm not aware of that ever being true for .net, but it's definitely not true now.

Sure, for a graduate position, targeting someone out of Uni; there are not many of those in Germany for €66k outside of FAANG (although I'm sure they exist). And that is unlikely to be what the OP was offered from Amazon (they said "mid-level"; probably SDE-II).

And for what it's worth; my search led to an average of €76k ($90k) for SDE-I in Germany:

Yup.
wow, these resources are pretty great.

I would like to add that CMU’s Database course by Andy Pavlo is quite nice and they go in really in-depth explaining the internals. Really fun lectures!
HN is the most good-faith forum I visit. I think there is some allergy to centrism/both-sides-ism because there are so many trolls on other forums trying to subvert true discussion, by slipping in one centrist/contrarian viewpoint then use that as a wedge to support all their other stances.
I just use whatever `brew install docker` gives me. They don't call that Docker Desktop, right? I thought that was some kind of GUI thing of theirs—I do all my dockering from the command line, which looks the same across Mac and Linux except when (rarely, these days) the virtualization the Mac implementation uses leaks through.
What exactly is a "financial accounting database"? I'm sort of surprised that there's a market for a DB targeting a very specific workflow. I would have thought that if you need that volume of specific transactions (major bank, I guess?) you'd want a full RDBMS for things other than simply the transactions, too. Basically, that Oracle would be all over that.

I love the pursuit of performance, but who would actually need 1 million journal entries a second (from their home page)? Is that the bottleneck somewhere?

Apologies for the stupid questions, I just... have no idea where this thing (which seems pretty technically neat) is actually intended to be used.
This advice is sound and mirrors advice given by other successful applicants to these high stress interview loops.

I have worked at a few of the "FAANG" companies and have noticed a trend with potential hires who are entertaining competing offers. They will often accept an offer even if they have other offers ready to materialize or under negotiation. The candidate feels that if they don't jump on the offer now, they may miss out. This is rarely the case and I have never seen this happen internally. The company has put a lot of time and energy getting you to the offer stage and they want you to sign the offer letter. You could say something like "This is a big decision and I need a few days to consider it" while the other offers finalize. You could be upfront and say "I am waiting for Google to finalize their offer and I want to evaluate theirs against yours." As I stated before, I have yet to see a recruiter rescind an offer because of this. You could even be quite mercenary, and accept the offer with a start date in a month and then retract if a better offer comes through. I wouldn't do this, but I have seen it done many times.

People like to lump these companies together for some reason, but they are quite different internally. While I was at Amazon, the average tenure of an engineer was eighteen months are a large percentage of initial hires left after nine months. These short tenures were not due to performance reasons. The number of engineers coming in to Amazon from Apple/Google/Facebook/Netflix were far less than those leaving for the same companies. I can think of no team members who left Amazon for Netflix. Facebook and Google represented the majority of departures, with Apple following at a much lower percentage.
The industry collectively sank untold billions into the blind belief that neural algorithms will somehow turn into "AI."

The huge qualitative differences between GPT-2 and GPT-3 seem to suggest that they will, if you just keep adding orders of magnitude more connections and more data.

Time to re-read "Leiningen Versus the Ants". http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/lvta.html
Rail is already highly autonomous with external monitoring systems integrated with vehicle control systems, but I'll just go on as if the distinction between what it is now and what are calling "autonomous" is significant.

What problem does autonomous rail solve? The single driver is already a rounding error in total costs. Also, rail is already a controlled environment where collisions are much less likely to happen than road, so the fruit is much higher up the tree on that aspect too.

It seems to me that bringing autonomy to rail would have little on it's bottom line.

It requires TPM 2.0 or it refuses to install. This includes first generation Ryzen first released in 2017 or any Intel CPU before 8th gen.

Also keep in mind that not every computer you buy today includes the latest generation or even the last generation. Looking at the items on the shelf at the local best buy I see 8th-11th gen. Machines were sold new earlier this year that will never run windows 11.
> I’ve run into this problem with people who use a lot of twitter. They would keep asking me to “state my position”, and also demand it to be about 1 sentence long.

I get this too, and my answer is almost always, "My position is militant neutrality. Don't drag me into your pissing contest because I'll piss on /you/ first." When I get it on social media, I block the offender. I didn't have time for this bullshit when PC was a big deal back in the 1990s, and 30 years have not improved the taste. Sure, I've got no friends; but that's nothing new because I've been /cancelled since kindergarten/. You either get used to it, or you kill yourself like a pussy.

Besides, I don't really know where I stand. It depends on the issue. I mean, I've got as big a hard-on for the First Amendment as I do for the Second. I think everybody has the right to speak their mind, even if it's offensive or blasphemous; and they have the right to go around with a fully-automatic Kalashnikov slung over their shoulder if that makes them feel more secure. I think that if you work for a living you shouldn't have to pay taxes, but if your wealth comes from capital gains then you should be taxed to within an inch of your life.

But the world seems to have moved on without me. Alice Cooper was dealing with right-wing cancel culture in the 1970s, but he could take it in stride, which is why we have songs like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" from /Billion Dollar Babies/ and "Go To Hell" from /Alice Cooper Goes to Hell/. In the 1980s, we had people waffling over whether Salman Rushdie had it coming when the pigfucking Ayatollah issued a death sentence /in absentia/ over a fucking novel that nobody was being forced to read.

Hell, if Salman Rushdie published /The Satanic Verses/ today and the current Ayatollah demanded his execution his publisher would probably have him kidnapped, gift-wrapped, and put on a one-way charter flight to Tehran.

When did having a spine and refusing to put up with bullies become a right-wing thing, anyway?

> Here’s a fantastic article that I think lays out a version of the problem...

According to P. Z. Myers, New Discourses and James Lindsay are backed by far-right Christian supremacist Michael O'Fallon—and if you read closely half the material on New Discourses sounds like alt-reich propaganda.

By all means, despise the woke. They /richly/ deserve it. But don't assume that the enemy of your enemy is a friend. Right-wing Christians are barely friends to each other, don't count on them being your friend.

PS: If P.Z. Meyers is too "woke" for you, try Aaron Rabinowitz, who Meyers links.

Though if you take say the man, if he has a brother who has a son, then you can't say the line of the mans father has ended. I think over all it looks a bit more like pruning a bush, if you back track there is a continuing line somewhere.

I also find fascinating that as our lineage: parents, grand parents etc, expands in powers of two as we go back, the historical pool of humanity grows ever smaller so that the likelihood of shared ancestry with any other person grows to near certainty.
