People who are vaccinated spread less, reducing the total viral load. This is a big deal for people who cannot be vaccinated or who are immune compromised since the odds of exposure and total load are what determine whether they can safely function in society.

Similarly, people who are vaccinated are far, far less likely to require medical care. That reduces the load on the medical system — think about all of the complications we're seeing now because people with non-COVID problems are unable to get attention promptly — and a significant percentage of the money for treating more serious COVID cases will be paid by people other than the patients through some combination of taxes, insurance, and overhead costs (e.g. American ERs aren't allowed to refuse care since Reagan socialized them which means those expenses are added to everyone else's bill).

Doesn't matter which version of iPhone one has, as applicable to the next version of "iOS". So assume you mean after people update to the next version of iOS. In which case they can disable iCloud Photos if they are concerned. Though they will need to also make sure not to use Google Photos or use Facebook since I assume you are aware both of them already do this scanning server side so in a much less privacy minded way.

Not only that, but it incentivizes amateurs to become professionals. Theft becomes a viable career under lax laws. And crime begets poverty, so I suspect this creates quite a few more "desperate amateurs" some of whom will become professionals and so on.

Crowdfunding has been extremely successful at fostering the creation of freely-licensed content while handsomely rewarding the creators for that same content. (It's easy to miss this because it's only a fraction of what's crowdfunded as a whole, but free content still wins wrt. its broader impact.) There's no reason why this model could not be applicable to the design of new, high-quality fonts. Font makers only have to name their price, commit to an open license on the product and roll the dice.
Thanks for the correction. RISC-V actually seems to have the most efficient way to do conditional branches of all common ISAs (according to its instruction set reference document, heh).

But about the more complex ARM load/store opcodes, the point stands that instruction fusion does not simplify decoding or increase code density the way a pre-fused instruction does.
I think it comes down to passion and curiosity. Those are two things can happen at any age and education. It is also something that ebs and flows based on energy levels.

I would disagree.

There is a long history of many people smoking cannabis and it is unheard of for somebody to be die or be hospitalized from it.

That's not true about cannabis mimetics such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMB-FUBINACA

which are unrelated in structure to THC, CBD and such.

My guess is that compounds that are chemically related to phytocannabinoids aren't likely to be dangerous, but that's not a qualified opinion.
github1s has 20k stars, so I'd imagine someone on the team saw it. Not saying they "stole it"... it's a pretty obvious idea considering MS owns GH and VS code.
It's important to remember that RSA received cash payments from the USG to backdoor this. It wasn't just an "oops, we were insufficiently vigilant". They actively participated.
Also, smalltalkers didn't mean the same thing by "unit". What would be called unit tests in one context may mostly be considered integration tests in another.

I agree, the crazy mock- and stub-heavy unmaintainable micro unit testing thing seems to have been an innovation that came out of the Ruby scene.

>My read is that Apple is trying to placate governments by throwing them a bone

You would believe this if you only read/watch Apple PR and ignore reality. The actual reality is that Apple always collaborates with all governments. The reality is that Apple did not announce any new end to end encryption that would use this feature and did not promise such a feature.
I wonder if the savings to society for police/court time is worth the increased cost of goods from shops paying for their own security? Will this become another barrier to entry for small businesses?
> The developer mindshare really matters to apple.

The developers are going nowhere so long as the money is there to be made from iOS.

Did they all quit when it was revealed that Apple was part of PRISM? Of course not. They barely blinked.

It doesn't matter if a billion developers sign a petition. It's empty. The vast majority of them will promptly capitulate if Apple goes forward. By vast majority I mean 99%.

Did you see all the people desperately fleeing from Australia due to the rise of the extremist police state there? Nope. Did you see the tens of millions of people flee from the US when the Patriot Act was passed or PRISM was revealed? Nope. Did you see everyone rapidly flood over to mainland Europe as Britain became a police state? Nope. How about the hundreds of millions of people fleeing out of China over the past decade with the rise of Xi and the entire demolition of all human rights in China? Nope. Perhaps you're spotting a predictable human nature trend in all of this.

All the tech employees of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc. They've all quit in droves over the past decade over human rights abuses - including vast privacy abuses - and concerns for what these companies are doing? Whoops, no, the exact opposite. There was a price for their integrity as it turns out, and they grabbed the money, which is what most people do.

The iOS developers are going nowhere, either. Besides the fact that their livelihoods depend on it, there's no vast green field to run to from what's happening. Sure, some might change jobs, or switch industry segments, it will be a small group though. It's going on in just about every liberal democracy simultaneously. What huge platform are developers going to flee to that's better and is never going to feature forced on-device scanning spyware? It's coming for Android too, bet on it.
Also, isn't seven years a pretty big lag time between cause and effect here?

Brazen thefts like this have been happening for years around the country. I used to work retail (loong ago) and the store would actively let people walk out with expensive merchandise and do nothing to stop them. So I really doubt the change in law has anything to do with this.

More like 2020 was fucking miserable and goods shortages & unemployment drove people to take up lucrative careers in organized theft.
I don't know if that was the intention or not, but that is precisely the outcome of SF policies.

This isn't just specific to operations, I experience this amongst other developer teams as well.

I've had previous coworkers approach me about API "bugs" because they didn't bother to troubleshoot their app code and just immediately assumed it was a server-side issue.

Then I spend 10 minutes debugging the issue only to point them the error in their own code. I don't know if it's laziness or inability to troubleshoot, or both.
And, I might add, they've created the infrastructure that allows governments to scan for other 'questionable content'. How long until they begin to scan for hate-speech? What if you download files from Wikileaks? Or a journalist gets their hands on classified materials? The government could know about this before they have a chance to release it.

Gas is MUCH faster, at least 4 times faster to get water up to boiling, if not more.

You can directly see the flame, and know how much heat you're putting into something, almost instantly. The feedback cycle on electric cooking is a lot slower and more error prone.

With an electric burner, I can't even get a large pot of water to a rapid boil, ever. I can get it up to temperature in about an hour.

Electric cooking sucks compared to gas.

Both read grammatically fine to me. If you prefer to do things in 4 lines rather than one, and repeat the variable, that's up to you I guess - a lot of people seem to agree - but honestly I don't get what the fuss is about.
I am sincerely curious why you feel this way about DevOps.
IAAL, and this is actually pretty accurate. Also of note, there is a princple within the law that basically suggests "if you don't vigorously defend your IP, that can be taken to mean you don't much care in the future as well." Honestly, in our modern environment, I don't find that much compelling (as something to really worry about from a developer POV), but it does exist.
Original paper linked here (behind paywall) [0]. The researchers introduced the human FTO gene into plants to increase crop yields.

That train departed long ago.

In fact already during the Win16 days, many of us were already jumping into C++, Delphi and VB frameworks, instead of suffering through plain C programming.

Borland common controls used to be quite easy to spot with their green check mark.

Win32 has very few built-in controls, and Windows always enjoyed a good ecosystem from commercial vendors selling custom controls, like Telerik and ComponentOne to refer to two well known ones.

As historical info, modern COM traces back to Visual Basic VBX components.

Privacy doesn’t seem to matter to you.

What happens when Apple adds brainwave detection to their Airpods? Now all I have to do is have a fleeting thought about something that is deemed unacceptable by the ruling class and the authorities show up and arrest me.

So in your perfect little world where do you draw the line? Is it there or the next logical step where AI deems that based on it’s algorithm you are going to break some law tomorrow and now they are going to preemptively take action?

Privacy matters.
No sir. I jumped on the SublimeText bandwagon long ago, and I don't see any reason to change to a slower editor.
>What do you think are the chances we'll see a server-side implementation instead of the so far proposed client-side one?

If Google, Microsoft and Facebook are doing this for years then the question is why is Apple not doing it? Did they not think about the children until last month?
It’s being cynical about the idea that PR departments tell the straightforward truth.
>Is anyone using PTP and its requisite accuracy in production? If so, what's your use-case?

I've seen it used in projects for frame-accurate timing for IP video production (the use case was more TV studios than, say, Twitch streams)
> Liberalism makes no such assumption. It simply makes the assumption that less liberal systems will be even worse at producing human flourishing.

I think that is a modern conservative widening of the goalposts. They were more confident in the past. Such week claims are not going to save liberalism so I suggest a different tack.

> Liberalism makes no such assumption. If you’re referring to the US expecting China to liberalize, that has nothing to do with an assumption of liberalism. It was just a misunderstanding of the nature of Maoism and the CCP.

I am not referring to that in particular. I am referring to the narrative behind 2nd-wave colonialism in general, and since then IMF / World Bank insisting on free trade, etc. In a domesticate setting, education is viewed similarly to clean up the bitter deluded masses, "science will defeat religion" type views. Liberalism has always been about taming the wild passions of a vast illiberal other.

And to be clear, I would be perfectly happy if education brought patience, science defeated religion, etc. etc., but again empirical reality doesn't make one so hopeful.

> The notion of “worlds that need fixing” is Utopianism by another name, and is the perennial justification for the authoritarianism.

Liberalism has always had a slight utopianist inclination, be it whig history, "the arc of history bends towards Justice", etc. Reform, not revolution, but certainly not accepting the world as it is either.

Again, I think you are imparting a modern conservative spin on the ideology. Again, it might better align liberalism with the reality of what it actually accomplishes, but that is is too tepid and will not save it.
To put some color on the "NoOps" world: it is not that product engineers are directly touching cloud or metal. We have an infrastructure group. It ships a PaaS. It doesn't get involved with a specific tenant of that PaaS unless a product engineer has evidence that there's something wrong with it & escalates a page. Product engineers click the deploy and rollback buttons for themselves.

In the case of image trustworthiness, it might actually be better for it to be accessible to the general population, if it's doable at all. Then the public knows that images are unreliable evidence.
Calling out the cryptographic community on this has always resulted in becoming tarred & feathered in my experience. "How dare you question these experts? You are not a cryptographer."

No, I am not. But, I understand information theory and people. I don't need an ivory tower credential to call out potential bullshit or leverage my own intuition.

This kind of nonsense also makes me wonder how many of those "dont roll your own crypto" people are intentionally pushing developers towards these state-sponsored libraries & methods.
I had used synapse in its early days (and really like it), and then eventually had to spin down my homeserver (not due to any synapse issues, I just didn't have bandwidth at the time to maintain host and synapse plus other experimental servers and services i was playing with)...Anyway, i recently started planning to spin up another homeserver, and was on the fence on whether to play with synapse again, try dendrite, or conduit...well, now having read the deploy readme file, i think i will give conduit a try! Kudos to the conduit contributors and maintainers!! Kudos also to all folks contributing to the greater matrix homeservers and clients, as we need plenty of solid choices!
I would not call "Mountain Lion was the best" just nostalgia. The UI was more concise and polished in general. Consider the Big Sur sidebar, on some Apps it acts a shortcut list, on other as a tab bar and on others its used to host hierarchical views. It not only does not improve the UX in a functionality, it also breaks the reading flow as we need to look in the toolbar (left to right) and then on sidebar (top-bottom) as Apple is pushing developers to use it. It's not to say that skeuomorphic design was perfect too.

Using Mountain Lion in 2021 is going to feel less aesthetic than Big Sur just as using System 8 in 2011 felt. Overall consistency and sizing of Mountain Lion is superior to Big Sur if you consider a keyboard and mouse based OS just as Big Sur is superior if you're used to touch input and modern iOS UI.
It sure does -- and your throwaway status is suspect.
Apple's brand is tarnished in my eyes. I already got rid of my iPhone and won't be returning. The fact that they even announced this is proof that they only ever cared about providing a facade of privacy.
There is absolutely no reason we can't have a very good lightweight native UI compatibility layer.

Look at this heroic effort by a single developer:

https://github.com/andlabs/libui

It's not there, but it's probably too big of a project for one person.
Which brings up another point -- that's precisely the difference between having the format be essentially part of the language from day one, and shoehorning it in later. The utility of auto formatting comes from instantly eliminating the squabble and bikeshedding.
Belgium is at 71%. But probably they are looking at percent of eligible population vaccinated, meaning 12+. Common mistake, especially as govts emphasize that stat.

The herd immunity threshold is said to be at 90% of all people, including children.
If you compare it against the industry standard of in-cloud scanning, the privacy comes from the fact that an on-device model results in 0 Apple servers ever examining your photos (unless you have 30 CSAM flags on your iCloud account), whereas an on-server model results in Apple servers examining every single photo you upload.

You can argue it's better to have neither type of scanning, but if Apple considers it a critical business issue that their cloud is the preferred hosting site of CSAM[0], then they presumably have to pick one or the other.

You can also argue that on-device seems creepier or more invasive, even if it doesn't result in Apple examining your photos, which is a reasonable reaction. It certainly breaks the illusion that it's "your" device.

But it's a fact that the on-device model, as described, results in less prying eyes on your iCloud photos than the on-server model.

[0] I'm not claiming this is the case, just saying for example
This entire article is written with such profound misunderstanding of DevOps - perhaps one induced by vendor marketing - that it's effectively meaningless.

Yes, developers should understand the operational environment a system runs in, and should be capable of advanced troubleshooting. But the rest of the post is simply tired screed about how "the old days" were better, despite the fact that they manifestly were not.
Although it may not be a popular opinion, CICO (calories in, calories out) obviously works. It's simple science and I'm down 25 pounds in a year.

It requires strict adherence like anything else. It's often not enjoyable.

But if you follow it, you will lose weight. And "zero calorie" alcohol isn't really zero calorie, obviously.

This isn't about metabolic rate or anything else. I had my thyroid gland completely removed 30 years ago and have been dependent on levothyroxine ever since. I could theoretically "cheat" by artificially increasing my metabolism (take more levo, like some bodybuilders do), but I didn't. I just cut calories.
Doubtful of the last paragraph: What kind of clock oscillator 'learns' to keep better time by being adjusted from a better source? A normal crystal doesn't have any memory effect AFAIK.

In a typical real life scenario where the GPS / antenna malfunctions, your server clock will just slowly.. drift.. I.e. the crystal runs a bit too fast or a bit too slow.
>Basically, as others have said, there is an evolutionary reason plants do not naturally grow this big (they'd kill themselves off in a few generations).

The undomesticated cultivars which evolved over time evolved to work in their niche. Potatoes largely come from the Andes in Peru/Chile, where the soil is thin, rocky and the terrain is very mountainous.

So potatoes evolved to develop in poor quality mountainous soil.

What we do as humans in domesticating these cultivars is important because we grow potatoes in very different situations, and we develop new potato cultivar that are adapted to our new environments.

So you see, it's not "an evolutionary reason plants don't grow big", it's "they evolved to fill a niche". When we change the niche, we change the pressures on them, and we create an opportunity for us to adapt the new plant even better.

I don't think there is as much worry about fertilizer as you think. When growing crops we are long past the time when you rely on natural fertilizer. Nearly every atom in those plants that isn't Carbon was added to the soil explicitly to grow that plant. So, to grow bigger potato, you will need more fertilizer.

With regards to climate, being able to grow more rice per acre is valuable because climate change will destroy breadbasket regions and likely reduce total land available to agriculture. Thus maintaining total output levels against decreasing land total will be important.
