Not sure where you got the $800?

The Boox has many different models so specifying a price without a model wouldn't make sense, so I assume you were referring to the RM2.

The RM2 is US$400, which is expensive compared to e-readers, but is not $800. And BTW, yes, it is annoying how USD are just assumed, but that is our reality for better or worse (and I'm not an American).

Actually there is legitimate value in saying that all parties should receive the same punishment.

If there is precedent for a lesser punishment, then the guilty should all receive it, not just the guilty of with the right connections, wealth or… skin color.

There’s another similar argument to be made for mandatory minimum sentences.
To be fair, they are sort of boring.

They don't do anything, there is no use for them really, they don't even have many properties...

The only real effect they have is making physicists' maths a little more complex (or slightly wrong if they forget them).
And in the middle are most people, who are skeptical about the value from evo bio. Again, the statistics are only descriptive - it is not easy to tease apart nurture from nature.

There's very little reason to think "statistics and evolutionary biology convergence" reveals any truths in this case. The only conclusion to draw here is that confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

That's a very common problem on the inexpensive Casios. When it happened to my watch I found that new watch cost less than a new strap.
I've been doing a fair amount of BI work myself recently.

I reckon of the 90% that don't make any data driven decisions with the dashboards they're provided, there are three causes I run into frequently.

1. They can't describe what info they need

2. That info isn't available.

3. They don't make decisions based on data at all.

I feel I'm getting better at addressing 1 and 2 the more I do it, but I figure there's a fair amount from group 3 who demand the reports nonetheless...

As an aside, you mention Tableau, QlikView or PowerBI, have you tried Apache Superset at all?
There is a conflict of interest there, but as a counterpoint, pretty much every time he does a build video it seems like he picks AMD (at least, post Ryzen).
I think this is a much more interesting angle to the metaverse than virtual reality and 3D glasses. Simulation can also help with personalised manufacturing and designing sustainable cyclical industry.
>'Striking' with protections etc is a 'positive right', effectively a set of powers established by government, imbued on workers. Think about it: what 'right' would someone normally have to 'not show up for work' and expect that the company couldn't let them go?

The same right someone would have to fire somebody.

Rights are not god given. Nor is the ability of the employer to fire workers some physical law. It's the result of a balance of power - same as the right to strike without getting fired.
I wish this went into more detail about how it was proved.
I think this is Ruth shifting cost structures moreso than any indication about in office work culture. I believe they were already renting, so someone probably did the math and realized they'd come out ahead in the medium to long term. Google isn't leaving NYC anytime soon.
>Newer laptops are starting to come with soldered SSDs

Which newer laptops? Other than Macs and crappy $199 Walmart grade
tablet-chromebook thingamajigs, I don't know any mainstream PC laptop that does that (thankfully).

Even super light and super slim laptops still have replaceable storage. Even niche Pocket Computers like the GPD and Valve Steam Deck still have replaceable SSDs.

So I don't buy your statement.
For the record, here was the URL that I posted:

It somehow changed to

after being posted. Tried twice. Giving up.
Two things:

They are replaceable when the external ports (USB-C or otherwise) wear out without the need for soldering or internal board replacement.

The design of the modules is open source, meaning that anyone can design a module that fits their needs.
That's the way the body is supposed to work. When you take in too many calories, you body should fill its fat reserves and your muscle and organ glycogen stores, and then ramp up your energy output to burn off the rest, and any that it can't burn off should be shunted out of the body (you can excrete excess blood sugar in urine, for instance).

For obese people, what happens is the body muscles and organs become insulin resistant, but your fat does not, so your body fat is well fed before the rest of your body (other than your vital organs).

From there, there is no excess energy in your muscles and organs as they're getting just enough to function and sometimes not even that much, so your body makes more fat cells to store as much excess blood sugar as possible and then finally your kidneys filter and excrete the excess sugars remaining.

This process is a perfect storm for diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and preferentially gaining fat while being tired and hungry all of the time, and the only way to break it is to cut carbs so that your blood sugar doesn't spike and then to exercise to deplete your muscle glycogen stores so that when your blood sugar does spike it goes to your muscles first, and then do that consistently for the rest of your life if you were in the group affected by this.
> I certainly don't.

Reminder that Apple isn't the problem. Their customers are. I know movie quotes are seriously lowbrow for this audience, but somewhat relevant here, and correct:

"That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy."

Not to Godwin the thread, but this absurd apologia for anti-freedom products from the standpoint of convenience and apathy reminds me of the old quip about Hitler making the trains run on time.

I hope a decade from now you love the soul-crushing Snow Crash-esque dystopia your choices will have created, because you will have absolutely no moral authority to complain about it.
FMS Logo released version 8.2 yesterday

That entire industry needs a level of reliability several orders of magnitude more than any other industry. They couldn't redeploy servers even if they wanted to. I'm by no means an expert Space Systems Engineer. But any NASA technicians reading my original comment would probably agree with me in the general case. Space stuff certainly does not fall under the general case, because it's not possible.
“What I learned from a year on Substack”
Given one side is positing an entity with a mysterious personality that can create literally everything, ex nihilo, in 6 days, I wouldn’t expect it to be possible to conclusively invalidate anything, ever, under any circumstances.

No matter how much evidence there is on the side saying the Bible is just as fictional as the Olympian, Roman, Egyptian, Aztec etc. pantheons, believers can always counter it.

The argument goes something like this:

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
The fingerprint reader does work in Linux after compiling newer versions of fprintd and libfprint. I'm using it in GDM and for sudo.

You have it precisely backwards.

These features already have reasons to exist, because they solve control flow scenarios. So there they are. And then we are brought the question of introducing goto, and there's just nothing that it adds. It would make the language more complicated for no reason.

Stack of hard disk platters (what's inside a disk drive), I've always thought. Bit more modern than drum (where AIUI the storage surface is the outer circumference, like a phonograph roll); bit less abstract than "a barrel of data".

While I'm not going to argue your preference for a trackpoint, dragging with a trackpad is not as you describe. You just leave your thumb "clicked" and reposition your index finger.

Alienware had a socketed CPU and it didn't pan out: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2020/5/13/21256845/a...
That seems to be pretty much what they said.
So many people deal in tropes and in using people they already know as benchmarks for society and it's highly destructive to modern life.

Even POTUS 46 would commonly say "I used a guy once" in describing how he approached public policy that governed millions of people and even in matters relating to world issues which completely undermines the principle that people can be completely different in ideology, culture, biologically and many other ways.

Social media as well as a lot of modern software (including AI) so often cater(s) to a fixed ideal that everyone has the one same path to what they want and need and that that can be scripted, which defies any meaningful and fulling outcome to implementing one service for the entire world.

This is the new anti-intellectualism, the ideal that we know who people are within our own individual limited/blind/biassed understanding and that people can be predictable, and that the world can be defined in fixed terms.

We make assumptions that we are the norm, and anyone who deviates is abnormal, whereas we should encourage and be aware of originality when it's positive. We're ignoring innovators and people who bend the rules these days at an alarming rate, and we're labeling everyone who doesn't think like the "hive mind" as "abnormal" and "crazy". Don't get me wrong though, there are some truly crazy people out there, but the ones that are strict concerning what proper behavior is are also just as dangerous to us if you ask me.

Great title for a book. No relation to the author here, but my interest was captivated based on the title alone. Thanks.
> If I understood it correctly, you can buy replacement parts only from Framework. They will have supply issues, and customers will be unhappy.

RAM, wireless, and storage aren't chained to Framework, and are effectively the only parts you can reasonably buy for any existing laptop in the current day.

I would not be surprised if battery and screen replacements start popping up, but that's just a guess not something I'd bet on.

That Framework will be the only suppliers of parts that other laptops don't even attempt to make replaceable is not a worrying situation, it's a hopeful one.

I find it hilarious that we spend multiple thousands of dollars on sleek, elegant hardware and then hook up chunky plastic dongles to overcome their bad hardware interfaces.

So I love the idea of these ports (agreed, they're basically "recessed dongles").

I couldn't lose them / forget them. They wouldn't take up space in my bag while I'm traveling. I could "set and forget" them to perfectly match whatever desktop / docking setup I'm using. In five years when my wireless VR system uses some as-yet-unknown hardware interface, I can swap a single component out to support it. Seems like brilliant design to me.

And some people think, wow this is a great interface.

This is excellent explanation. People, who consistently advocate for market regulation or removal, do not understand that our standard of living, historically highest ever, is literally on this level because of market forces, and removing them will end up badly. Everyone tends to forget Soviet Union or North Korea.
I couldn't agree more! We built Lexio to address exactly that issue. (Our tagline is literally "Stop building dashboards that no one uses".) It does data storytelling (discovering the insights and conveying them in natural language) on the server and gives users a newsfeed experience for consuming them. I'm happy to talk shop if folks are interested in how it works. https://narrativescience.com/lexio
I found this article[1] which provided this insight into the relationship between the two.

> Now, in 2021, there is a growing underground project called Scuttlebutt that is tackling the decentralized web from a different perspective. Unlike Diaspora and Mastodon, Scuttlebutt is not a product for end-users — rather, it’s a protocol (like HTTP or RSS). Decentralized social network products, like Manyverse and Planetary, are being built for end-users on top of the Scuttlebutt protocol.

No, you don't. You see people complaining about NVIDIA's linux support.
It's an implementation of SSB, but not SSB. Just like you wouldn't say Chrome is HTTP, but that it has an implementation of the HTTP protocol.

As a network admin I think my primary concern on first reading is actually the severity of the problem and how much I should worry about it. Then it’s good to see that the response was prompt and transparent. Probably can’t satisfy everybody no matter how you write it.
Yes and some top-end technical stuff, that in many ways you can only get in a bit here and a bit there kinda way upon the web today.

One memory of magazines back then, I enjoyed reading the adverts and it is ironic as I probably spent more time upon adverts in a single edition of Byte than I do upon adverts in over a year upon the web. How times change. But darn, I miss the hardcopy Byte magazine. Also miss my vast collection that got lost over several moves in life. Though still have a few.

However, one magazine of that era I have equal fondness for was Unix World 84-95.

But at least I have a few copies of them still.
Is there anything fast on a Mac? ..
A naive semi-unrelated question - why don't cell phones support LoraWAN (or similar mesh protocols)? This sort of thing could be ubiquitous in that landscape.
As battery tech gets better, you can replace it. And the glued-in battery in the macbook pro won't be 100% capacity after a bunch of charge/discharges.

It's a compromise in the short term maybe, but long term it's so much nicer.

On an earlier page[1] the author mentions that they at one point "designed a more complex backplate which included […] a built in micro SD card reader, that you could read directly by plugging in a micro USB cable", among other things. Unfortunately, they go on to lament that this made the watch comically thick. As you say, the strap might be a good place to cram a USB interface without bulking up the watch body.

When I am on any laptop, the first impulse for me has always been to reach for the TrackPoint. I always get disoriented for a moment when it isn't on a laptop keyboard. I take the device for granted :)

I really really do hope framework will add a trackpoint option in the future. I would hate to unlearn this comfortable feature now.
A long, long time ago, I "broke" my dad's MS Works word processor. The D key just stopped working. Turns out that, during my fiddling around, I had created a macro that did nothing and had 'D' as a hotkey. It was the first time ever that I had "broken the computer".
> The internet is already flooded with spam, but AFAIK that has never had an adverse affect on our ability to directly communicate with one another.

It ruins email inboxes over time, without active management, and lots of people no longer answer phone calls from numbers that aren't already in their contact list, to pick just two examples. Are those not adverse effects? If there's more total communication but a given person requires 20% (just to pick a number) more time for the same amount of communication as before, is that more free? It means that person's max theoretical amount of daily signal-not-noise communicating is lower than it had been, and that they have to give up more time that could have been spent on other things, to maintain the same amount of communication.
To me it's fair to say it's not a likely scenerio, it's just that they continously say "this would be difficult" at every step. I appreciate the breakdown, but it comes off as trying to convince you it was a near-complete impossibility. I understand it was unlikely, but it was possible, and that makes it severe either way.
I think it's fair to argue we are seeing this in real time right now around Covid and refusals by certain hospital systems to even let people try something like Ivermectin or other off label drugs.

It’s a very important function: provide data that can be cherry-picked to support a decision already made.

If the decision is too complex for that, hire a big consulting firm to write a report suggesting and justifying the action desired.

If this is truly popular to change the industry then even big players like Apple will adapt. My bet is that it’s super popular in the niche that is the HN audience but not much more.

Government lends you up to ~880€ a month interest free if your parents earn less than 35k€ and gradually less until 75k€ parent household income. After university you have 5 years time until loan payments starts. Total payback is capped at 10k even if you have received more than that. If you can pay it back in full with one payment you only pay ~7.3k.

With that money people are usually able to get an apartment or at least a room in a shared apartment and pay for food and books.

> We suspect the Framework's high-brightness, high-resolution display is the culprit for its relatively poor battery life—the XPS 13 at the top of the chart is a 1080p non-touch model, as is the Acer Swift below it.

And the XPS has an i7-1065G7 [1] vs the Framework with an i7-1185G7 [2]. So the Framework has a better screen and a better CPU. I'm not sure I agree with running that benchmark without other data alongside it like a score or the average clock rate.

For example, I put a 2nd battery in a ThinkPad once and it had the effect of locking the CPU clock to <1GHz. The battery was predicted to last much longer than normal, but it was useless as a computer.

> If you insist on living in NYC for any reason

Strongly suggests that living in NYC is only something people do if they have reason to _insist_ on it, and not because it's just a place where people want to live.

Someone could just as well say that "If you insist on living in a suburb for any reason, then working from home is probably more comfortable..."
> Buried in here are great examples of why rewrites don’t help

That has not been my experience. Rewrites do sometimes help, because in a lot of codebases there’s too many “pet” modules or badly designed frozen interfaces.

Rewrites can help in those situations, because there’s no sacred cows anymore. The issue is that a lot of people do rewrites as translations, without touching structures.
It feels like we lost something when byte disappeared. Is there anything like it these days?
