> I'm confused ... Which of these can I not do on a Mac?

You apparently didn't read the article properly. The author's major grouse is how he recognized slowly that Apple is very controlling about the user experience on its devices and how this is a huge limitation to do anything else "outside" of Apple's "thinking" of how a software or hardware should be used. And how Apple's product manager's have lost sight of what really adds value to the user experience, and their software and hardware choices of new Apple devices are now more dictated by their own greed / ambitions.

From the very examples you cited, the author's emphasis thus was on:

> ... but I am back in control. I am more productive.

> Wired headphones never run out of battery and have superior audio quality ...

> I can take real photos wiht high quality ...

> I have fun again discovering bands and artists on Bandcamp instead of mind numbing listening to Apple Music playlists

> ... but also my OS is way more productive and faster

So it's not just about what you can or cannot do on a Mac, but how the author has found a better way to do all this outside of Apple's limiting ecosystem, keeping in line with his new beliefs that Apple no longer cares about users like him. And I fully agree with him and share the exact feeling (I feel Apple says a "F*k you" to me everytime I want to maximise a Finder or Safari window because the "Apple way" is that you are only supposed to make them fullscreen or vertically maximise ...)

Is it me or is this an extremely clumsy way of doing censorship?

Why not do this at network or server-side level? Why not use some kind of hash (ala Apple'e proposed child pornography hunter)?

In this design, everyone would have to have this plain text configuration file ... also other brands (Oppo, Huawei etc.) would have to have it. What if it needs an update? Suppose the hui muslims starts causing trouble ... Or if people starts using slang or deliberate misspelling ...
That's why they're so eager to get the payment upfront that they'll give a heavy discount. Apparently a lot of people have trouble keeping up with their bills.
so you'd all have to be playing by the same id-generation algorithm/rules/'game', which will mean that no two id's can be generated (at the same time). if you don't use the same id-generation algorithm as your friends (yet you claim you did) people would be able to see that by validating your chain [1].

in other words: my main critique is that this name server system is not as distributed as it could be, for example if it was built using the holochain framework.

in a holochain system if two communities get disconnected due to a natural disaster, they would still be able to continue in two (temporarily) partitioned communities. with blockchain this wouldn't be possible.

For web services, and similar with errors that users see, but where the backend lives closer to the programmers, I very much endorse:

1. Mint a UUID for each specific occurrence of an error the user is getting informed about.

2. Write the whole stacktrace to a log, with the UUID and any other context that seems important.

3. Show the user the UUID, but in smaller type than any advice they might actually be able to use themselves like "0123456789 is not an email address" or "This service is not available to users in your group, juniorAssistants".

4. Ensure front line supports know they need this UUID to pass errors on to anybody who can do more than recite the help text.

Users will take photos of screenshots, they'll attach them to email as Excel spreadsheets with an embedded image, but they can get you the UUID and that shortcuts so much of the debugging process in many cases, while not giving them a bunch of debugging output that:

* Might be non-public by GDPR type rules, legal privilege or just common sense.

* May contain valuable commercial secrets, one man's obvious class hierarchy is another man's secret sauce product design.

* Is long and complicated and will not survive being captured to a screenshot, scaled, pasted into a Word document and then photographed with a phone, which your users actually will do for some reason.
Imperative JS libraries are more convenient to schedule and dynamically generate animations, but above and beyond that this offers timeline sequencing for long animation orchestration, independent transform animations, and will soon offer spring animations.

What did he get cancelled for? Not having had HBO for awhile, I haven't watched his show for some time.
That's a good point. I would also like very much if languages included a sensible and useful default implementation of toString() or the equivalent for all types (e.g. print all the object's private & public property names & values, recursively, stopping if cycles are found).

Of course, this is probably only remotely feasible in languages that can guarantee that toString() won't have any side effects.
> I think my main objection to Swift is that it seems to be written by people who hate Objective-C

I mean that's the vast majority of people

>and made the calling syntax much more complicated.

How is this true? Swift is very straightforward, and similar to other languages

Meanwhile Objective-C is slow, unsafe by default, with super ugly syntax only a mother could love. More than half of Apple's CVE/iOS vulnerabilities lately have been from parts of the OS that still use ObjC, the sooner they get rid of that garbage the better.
I do this. Once my insurance company got upset that my procedure was so expensive and rang the hospital. The hospital immediately tripled the price. The insurance became even more upset and asked me to fix it. Still much cheaper than the equivalent procedure in the USA.

It's not illegal here, but in any case nobody asks, I just tell them I'm paying cash.
I find it hard to believe that anybody is faster coding in objc than swift, if you control for garbage code. It was easy to quickly write buggy messes in objc - swift made that a lot harder, and is also a much more ergonomic and productive language in my experience. I feel like there has to be some other factors at play if that’s the results you’re seeing. (Source: I’ve been doing objc since 2009, and swift since version 1.0)
Are there interesting open standards in a similar performance/power/range envelope?
I think that apple hated that at the end of the day, a lot of the system frameworks had to be written in objective-c++ which is not great.
What the Cat Knows (2020)
Arguably, freelancing or starting your own business will continue to be the best way to achieve this (and it comes with considerable risk), as your negotiation skills and business acumen will contribute to your income, as well every other skill not directly connected to the job description for a specific role.

At a full-time, salaried job, though? Do you get a higher salary because of your demonstrable value, or just because you've become a great salesman? The latter being why tech companies throw up barrier after barrier in their hiring process to try and differentiate between smooth talking and genuine skill (or value).

The point being, would you even work for a company at all knowing where you stand as a freelancer, or a consultant? From where I'm standing, publishing the payroll wouldn't make a jot of a difference.
I would have thought that you'd find my comment appropriate, given that Melbourne is now starting to display policies similar to those of China. This is not just empty rhetoric - they are instituting laws that you of all people should find worrisome. Wait... you didn't specify if you support the CCP or support an independent and free Hong Kong, so maybe the opposite is actually true.
Looks like the answer is in the middle of our guesses: your link says the median down payment is 12% for all buyers.

Just to touch back on this, the fingerprint reader works in the UI via PAM and CLI. It’s just not super UI-only user friendly.

Here is the proposal for the fingerprint UI manager:

I used to use KeePassX (and KeePassXC) for over a decade and I know a lot of people hate it because it doesn't have online syncing and you have to go out of your way to use yet another app to get it to integrate into a browser.

But one of the wonderful things it does over every other password manager is Auto-Fill based on a keybinding.

It would look at the Window Title and find the available passwords that matched. This was infinitely more useful than most browser-plugins that look at URL within the browser.

Because now I could have it fill out auth for Windows shares.

If a website has a .htaccess User/Pass window - most browser plugins wont autofill this, but KeePassX(C) could.

Terminal? I had all my SSH Passphrased and Sudo passwords in KeepassX(C) and could auto-fill on keybinding.

It was wonderful.

After failing to backup my database a few times and losing portions of newly added passwords I finally threw in the towel and went with Bitwarden.

and bitwarden checks a lot of boxes - open source, you can self-host if you wish, third party audits, a good use of encryption, cross-platform both for browsers and desktop/mobile OSes.

but man do i miss just autofilling with a keypress and not reaching for the mouse and autofilling in places outside of the browser.

Anyways, I mention this b/c it's way better than manually copying/pasting. The Auto-fill would work by tossing it to the clipboard just long enough to do the auto-fill and then clearing the clipboard. So it was safer than manual copy/paste too.

I don't think it is. Sidecar Health is doing just fine on this model[1]

It's pretty perverse that you, an insured person, would have to lie about having insurance because the provider would charge you more for being insured.

FWIW, I like your characterisation better. Saying that you value something as a means to achieve something else that you also value makes logical sense.
IMHO - keepass was way faster via keybinding than dragging your mouse to a browser plugin drop down.

You can, all you need to do is to extract the widevine binary from a ChromeOS arm build and put them on your Pi/ARM board.

Admittedly, it's a bit cumbersome to do this, but it works very well. I've been watching Netflix on my Raspberry Pi 4 for over a year using it.

Also, according to this guy [0] you now seem to be able to just install libwidevine in Raspberry OS. I haven't tested this yet though.

How many of those millenials were earning minimum wage?
That neither the people prescribing/providing the product, nor the customers/insurers can ever know the price before they are billed, shows that this is not a market, or certainly not anything like a free market.

The real scam is that the health insurers have convinced people they "fight for lower prices", when in fact they collectively profit from price hikes and the annual marginal increases fuel their growth as well.
My drowning and other inconveniences (2017)
>> making a gigantic lookup table for every single possible bit combination

You don't need this to achieve zero loss on the training set, though: You only need a lookup table for the images in the train set.

We know that neural networks can do something like this (learning the lookup table) because large networks can get to zero training loss on randomly assigned labels. (I linked the paper a bit further down in the thread.) This means there's some memorization capability in the architecture, even if it's a weird emulation of some memorization strategy that we would consider easy.

The actual mechanism here is probably closer to random projection + nearest neighbor; NNs are not obviously learning crypto functions. But they /are/ learning some kind of lookup mechanism. There's some indication (see Sara Hooker's work) that in practice they use a mixture of 'reasonable' strategies and memorization for long-tail training examples. We don't know /how much/ the leading networks trained on real labels rely on memorization because we don't have any real insight into the learned structures.

(as an aside, we train neural networks for discontinuous functions all the time: Classification is discontinuous, by the nature of the labels. We turn it into a continuous+trainable problem by choosing a probabilistic framing.)
This is so fascinating. I'll be keeping an eye on this. I've been doing binary computing all my life, so it's kind of mind bending to think of computing using analog circuitry without immediately trying to turn it back into binary again.
Wow TIL it’s 90% that use standard deduction, thanks for the tip, I’ll factor this in when discussing this in the future.

Thanks for finding this! If the original article was better written, it would include something like this. I had a similar reaction from reading the article. I get now why McDonalds would need to pay $22/hour. Genuine question: How are McDonalds in Denmark profitable?
It’s not free, it just doesn't cost any money.
>> Cost depends on: 1. Are you an outpatient/Obsveration v. inpatient v. ED? 2. Are you on Medicaid? 3. Is the hospital a part of GPO organization or not? 4. Is contractual obligations of GPO includes/excludes Aspirin?

Those considerations aren't part of what anyone calls cost. How much does the hospital pay for aspirin? How much do they pay someone to administer it to a patient? That's cost. If it's very complicated to determine what the patient or their insurance pays, well that's part of the problem.
Given the erosion in the bill of rights here, I suspect things are on a similar playing field. The main difference is the US government only censors using indirect means or by attacking the providers of information like Julian Assange.

> This is very true. They value your ability to do a job. If you've been around a long time and aren't being valuable in your current job they often won't value you. But, if you are being useful in your current job they will value you.

I think this point is correct - but I think a more important point is that companies forget how much value an employee that prevents fires creates. If you work in a position where you reduce risk to the company you'll need to work hard to constantly remind the company of how much risk you're helping them evade.

> Hiring companies are looking for that number which will pull people away. Even from a job they like. What they initially offer is almost always lower than they are able to go.

That's absolutely a core truth - nobody wants to pay more than they have to and salary negotiation is one of the only fields where (in western cultures) we actually haggle over prices. Employees almost never have significant experience advocating for themselves since haggling is a very rare activity.
>I don't really want to set any kind of precent that browsers should somehow be forced to display web pages exactly as sent.

That's... exactly what I want.
For sure, pay is much more driven by immediate staffing needs for retention or hiring. This has more to do with the labor markets and work pipeline than anything about an individual employee.

But people say they should be paid based on ability, performance, and experience. So this is what the conversation will be centered around, whether it is the complete reality for the considerations made by the employer or not.

Alice won’t care that Bob was hired for $10K more because there was a labor shortage and the company was going to lose a contract if they couldn’t hire another person. She just wants her $10K. So, the marginal cost of hiring an additional employee is not only the cost of that employee, but the additional wage demand that would result from the rest of your workforce. This is likely why we see many companies giving bonuses in this labor crunch rather than higher base wages.
Workers that don't measure up aren't a good fit. Fire them. So that they can be set free, become stronger, at something they are good at.

Oh, but I agree! Fun fact: It’s surprisingly easy to fire workers in Denmark. This is relatively uncontroversial because 1. there is a severance period, which is usually at least three months, and 2. generous unemployment benefits. We call it Flexicurity[1].

Yet indeed! As someone who has always built animation libraries based on rAF, this project has been a nice change of pace to limit myself to WAAPI. And I want to continue that with making other browser APIs easier to use, which will include the upcoming ScrollTimeline. Doing this should solve the smoothness you describe, it's not great with sync JS in some browsers.
This announcement is for 900Mhz (unregulated spectrum) coverage which is woefully underserved in the united states. 900Mhz LoRaWAN is for low power IoT devices. Helium is using blockchain coordination / incentive to change this equation -- where once was tons of geographically small and incompatible network, Helium is bridging them all by enabling roaming across the world at a price of $.00001 per packet (24 bytes). Most IoT application can run for years for less than a dollar since their data needs are small.
My company was purchased a few years ago and everyone had to sign new contracts. The contracts included language prohibiting people from discussing their compensation with others.

Someone pointed out that this was just straight-up prohibited, so the contracts were rewritten to remove the clause. The funny thing is that nobody that I know of has shared, or wants to share, information about their compensation. They just wanted the option to do so should they choose.
Finding a new need is risky and difficult. Tweaking and rewriting parts of an existing product with proven market adoption to fit the new fads delivers more predictable flashy results and successes for your CV and career and visibility within the organization.
That's weird, what browser/device are you on?
> universities obviously benefit a lot from the revenue that sports bring in but it'd be nice to see that benefit spread a bit more evenly across professors

That's fair but for people without HSA they should still file a claim against maximum out of pocket.
It’s a little more nuanced I’d say.
For once; strikes are supposed to be related to labor-stuff.

There’s a court called the “workerscourt” (arbejdsretten) in Denmark.
It deals with strikes etc.
an unlawful can be called to an end by this court; and all participants in an illegal strike can be ordered to pay a rather significant amount for each hour not-working.

So it’s really rather regulated.

Some sectors aren’t allowed to strike at all - under no circumstances. Workers here get extra benefits and a great retirement plan, but no right to strike.
i'm guessing the double "were were" in the second paragraph is one of many things in there by which they segregate the employees to determine who sent the email.

The problem, I believe is in objectively measuring said "productivity". Yes, you say person A is 2X productive than person B. But that's just arbitrary from your POV. Someone in the same team may mark them as 1.5X productive. Heck, the same person you saw working 2X one week might not work the same amount the next.
If you have any suggestion on ways of measuring productivity. That'll be cool to hear.

The problem I saw with the Ivermectin metastudies (which I did a fair amount of research on given that people close to me had decided to employ it as a prophylactic against Covid) was that the people who did the metanalyses were trained to read the results rather than grapple with the methodology and statistics.

None of the study results were robust, but many of the study outcomes were positive. So they were counting up positive outcomes and saying that more often than not, it was evidence that Ivermectin was effective.

This is a good means of generating a hypothesis, but a bad means of generating a conclusion.

Most of these studies were not in any way controlled or comparable in their conditions, and some had a very low number of observations. It didn't seem plausible that the data could be aggregated together.

It will be very interesting to see the results of the larger RCTs underway. Regardless of the outcome there _has_ to be a lesson for at least some people who arrived at fervent conclusions about what a miracle/scam this particular drug is. Unfortunately it seems unlikely that it will be a lesson that endures.
Fair enough. Perhaps a better position would have been that a choice between Agile and Waterfall is often presented as a (false) dichotomy.

It's tempting to say they were ineffective given what happened, but for all we know things could have been even worse.
