Look up Louis Rossman on YouTube. There are many repairs that are trivial for a trained professional that Apple just refuses to do, nor do they provide parts for. Replace a single resistor and an "unfixable" MacBook works like new again.

The characterisation of third party repair as "amateurs" is one of Apple's creation (obviously not just them but all tech companies). Apple will wipe your data, send your phone to China and replace your mainboard at best. An actual repair technician will fix what's actually wrong right then and there and not touch what isn't - including data.

I completely understand that you don't want to fix your own device or even if you only ever want to deal with Apple, but that shouldn't be the only option.
The desired yeah, but unfortunately from my experience people don't like being corrected online, for -- as far as they know -- I may as well know nothing about what I am talking about. Plus, devoting the time to type out so many replies is not in most people's priority list.
As wealth inequality rises there are more people who have no idea what to do with their wealth and more people who have ideas but no wealth.

According to Dirk Löhr the biggest driver of wealth inequality is just good old real estate and it's mostly the land that appreciated in value. Chasing land rents (I mean speculation on rising land values, not renting out apartments as a landlord) feels wholly unproductive.
Of course a cynical view is a lot of these new Atmos mixes will be shoddily made semi automated creations, a modern version of the faux stereo of the 1960s where they just delayed one channel slightly.
This sounds really exciting until I start seeing stuff like this:

> Yes, if you aren’t on Apple Music you are an idiot.

I tried Apple Music a couple years ago and switched back to Spotify after my free trial because I strongly preferred Spotify's UX over Apple Music, which mattered to me because Spotify is easily my most-used app. I'm not gonna sit there and chide anyone for preferring Apple Music over Spotify, but I can't really take a gatekeeping opinion like that or it's author very seriously either.
Oh hey I thought I was the only one. lucb1e.com and another site are also not indexed, though I blocked it based on the user agent string. That way it doesn't get page data or non-HTML files from my server. I introduced this when they were pulling this AMP thing: https://lucb1e.com/?p=post&id=130 It personally doesn't impact me, but it impacts other people on the internet and I figured it was the only thing I can do to try and diversify this market (since I myself already switched to another search engine).

There are zero other restrictions on my site. Use any search engine other than google. Or don't, up to you.
It's common because it would be too resource-intensive to provide transcripts for every quote.

Articles from high-circulation newspapers often have five or more interviewees per article. Quality newspapers are averse to publishing quotes without fact-checking them if possible (e.g. if a politician makes a false claim, you don't want to publish it without indicating it's false). To maintain the same principle, newspapers would need to fact-check the entire transcript, versus just the quoted part, for accuracy.

But if you want only a partial transcript, then you're essentially at the current state of affiars where you only quote the part you need, and paraphrase the rest. Journalistic ethical guidelines already require quotes to be in context for fairness. Reputable publications have an incentive to publish quotes in context (the interviewees, journalist watchdogs, and many readers would criticize that publication if they don't). So I don't see anything wrong with reading quotes and assuming they are published in good faith.

To mitigate ethical lapses, you can also read the same coverage from different sources (e.g. Wall Street Journal and New York Times) to get broader context about particularly important articles, and also subscribe to newsletters on reporting (e.g. the American Press Insitute newsletter, the Columbia Journalism Review).
"Goals of the mission were: vehicle integration and release sequence, safe separation from the launch aircraft, booster ignition and boost, booster separation and engine ignition, and cruise. All primary test objectives were met."

When the booster separation occurs, what happens to that booster? Does it self destruct on the way back down? Would any part of it be recoverable by inquisitive minds? Is booster tech so rudimentary that no secrets would be lost if recoverable?

"and cruise...met" does that mean it just essentially flew in a straight-ish line? seems like guidance would be important. walking before running?
> joins allow you to make the relationship you want at query time

And the price you pay for that is speed. Direct arc traversal is always O[1]. Querying is O[all_over_the_map] and all traversal in an RDBMS is essentially querying.

But your point is well taken: Hardcoded arcs move the speed problem to update time. However modern graph databases use a number of techniques to mitigate this problem like indirect pointers and reified relation objects. Yes, this slows things down to something like O[2] (which is of course the same thing as O[1] but I'm pointing out that it's about half as fast) but it preserves traversal speed predictability (minimizing traversal variance) while also allowing update flexibility.

At the same time modern RDBMSs optimize candidate key traversal queries to the point that they're essentially O[1] too so it's kind of a potato/potahto situation.
You live in Seattle and the alternative HQ position is MSFT, and you got a good non-standard offer. If Amazon & MSFT were in the bay, I'm fairly certain they would clean up their acts.
Between this, latency issues and the frankly soft dynamic range of most consumer hardware, I'd really like to see someone deliver a truly "professional" audio stack, without compromise. Pipewire gets so close to solving this issue it makes me want to pull my hair out, perhaps Apple will address this with their upcoming chips(?)
One thing I'm curious about is if billionaire money is actually worth the same as our money, it seems like a sink. Once enough money is in the same place, moving it causes impacts that could devalue it.

If you're writing tests to improve coverage numbers then maybe you're motivation is wrong.

In most languages with automatic exception propagation you never know what exceptions can be thrown. Is it any different from not testing?
Not a very hard problem; after all, many websites allow full access to Googlebot IP ranges yet show a paywall to everyone else (including competing search engines).

I also happen to ban Google ranges on multiple less-public sites specially since they completely ignore robots.txt and crawl-delay.

I can tell you that you are not alone :)

However, most of newer in-ear headphones are like plugs nowadays (don't listen to the bose suggestion in sibling comment). What you're looking for are in-ears that Geizhals[1] calls earbuds (although brands themselves usually don't differentiate in names. Which makes it difficult to find). My personal favorite are Marshall Minor II (although the 12h bluetooth are exaggerated, more like 6h.). But still, I got to admit that sound comes through more easily/better when the headphone fits like a plug (that's why new in-ears are usually of the plug type) - but what is it worth if you don't feel comfortable? Not much.

>many if not most people on HN could probably benefit significantly from better tax planning on their own personal incomes.

Those people are comfortable, well into the top 10% of earners. And I think it's nice that they don't spend money hiring a slimeball tax accountant to help avoid paying their part to society. I think it's sick that there are people making 6 or 7 figures a year helping cunts to save 7 or 8 figures a year that should be going into schools and infrastructure, and it's even sicker that those people are looked up to because they drive nice cars and wear expensive suits.

But that's not what these papers are about - they're about systematic secretive theft, from all society, on a massive scale. And this at a time when people are still dying from hunger and deprivation even in the richest countries.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I was one of the data guys you mentioned who learned R first and resisted python. There are a lot of things about R that leads users to develop very bad habits. The only reason R caught on in the first place is because python did not have mature libraries for data analysis for a long time.
I agree with this analysis. A lot of this article is just typical audiophile wank. I actually own rather high end gear, not because I "am an audiophile", but because I enjoy objective measurements. I bought objectively well measuring equipment, and the equipment is beyond the most golden of ears.

The only thing Apple has done right, audio-wise, in years is their iTunes Plus AAC encoder (one of two encoders that do to AAC what LAME does to MP3), and their cheap USB-C dongle (of the <$50 audio dongles, it beats the rest, although a bit quiet on lower efficiency headphones; ironically, their Lightning one, same tiny circuit board, isn't as good). Anything with speakers is just overpriced mediocre garbage.

Apple has lossless now, but most of their library isn't in lossless, and they aren't even the largest lossless music streamer. The experience of their app has an awful UX on all platforms (including iOS/OSX tbh), but to be absolutely fair, the "winner" in this space is Spotify, and they aren't winning any awards either (and they don't have lossless yet).

Anyone who is into music just owns their favorite music in lossless, in a format they dictate, in software they dictate.
Indeed, the thing we call economy is changing all the time. Economics try to explain how the economy works that's not the same as being 100% sure.

They’ve sedated us. Compared to the past you mention we live long lives, work comfortable jobs, have all we can eat media at our finger tips and therefore aren’t all that affected by the dodgy dealings of the elite. We’re comfortable enough with too little to gain through uprising. For any change against the elite to take hold you need a large group to rise up against them - and even the poorest amongst us in the west have smartphones and the other trappings of a comfortable enough life. Why risk losing that or facing any discomfort at all when we can just get on with things and ignore the corruption?

You really don't think a startup that promised to disrupt beauty at the genetic level wouldn't find customers? Are you even paying attention to the things people invest their discretionary time into?
Yeah, that's true. I don't think they meet the "actually neutral" criteria, but they do try to be.
Great lot of good that does you when you're listening with Airpods or anything wireless. You're locked in 320kbps AAC no matter what, and everything goes through Apple's psychoacoustic treatment. Even if you are one of the ~5% of Mac users who's got their DAC plugged in to their high-impedance headphones, you could be getting the same experience or better on pretty much all of your other (non-DirectSound) hardware.
I suspect a bloom filter should use a separate array of bits for each hash function. This came up in a previous discussion where stated probability of collisions was "wrong" but not if it were actually implemented with separate bit arrays.

Great, another hot take from some one who doesn't get it. Cultural appropriation isn't just a word you can use to rile yourself up about nothing.
I don’t think it’s the masses. I think it’s a very small minority stuck in a feedback loop of always needing to be more woke than the other person. The social media in itself is an echo chamber: most people even in the US are unlikely to feel strongly about this and it’s a complete non-issue everywhere else. An average steel worker, truck driver or even software dev does not care and thus can’t be part of the masses actively distorting the meaning of popular terms.
Rather than playing the same failed whack-a-mole that has been attempted since the beginning of civilization, maybe we should try and keep taxes low, services more efficient, and have alternatives to government-provided services for features we want of society. You may feel better when taxes are changed / raised but they will fail to do what you intend.

I'd recommend a few things.

1. File history preservation. We use Dropbox Paper, which preserves file history - if someone were to delete all of our documents we could recover them.

This is harder to do for production data, which may take up petabytes of space. Archiving out the data in big chunks can help here (we back up our kafka data to S3, for example, and the exporter will do that in batches).

You can also enable object versioning on those S3 buckets or prevent deletion/ mutation of objects. Another good idea is to use a uuid in the key name so that they can't be guessed.

2. Remove all forms of lateral movement. Move to a 'zero trust' system. Ransoming one machine is not worthwhile, attackers need to own a lot of your network if they want to monetize. They usually do this by traversing over as many machines as possible.

None of our systems can communicate with each other in corporate environments, and there's no remote execution protocols like SSH in our production environment (between servers). All access is explicitly authenticated and authorized.

There's lots of other good defenses but IMO if you do these two things you're in a very good place.

I wouldn't recommend "backups" generically. It's hard to do backups well and safely. (1) is technically a backup, but it's how the system works normally, it isn't some separate backup system that never gets tested. Backups are also very expensive, whereas zero trust is cheap.
Has it occured to you that trying to find leaders on the basis of greed might be a reason that things aren't going so well?

Maybe we should be paying politicians less and having a cap on their net wealth instead.

And before you say anything - there are plenty of very very competent people who would do the job, just not the rich.

Your comment says:

> Being a cofounder should be open to anyone in the world

But your website says:

> You must have at least 1 year of FAANG experience.

BTW, in my experience FAANG employees don't make great founders other than having an ability to attract VC funding. The qualities that big companies select for in employees are mostly distinct from the qualities necessary to start a business.
I think about this exact thing a lot. Of course, I have no evidence for it, but it's always on my mind in a story like this. It's always a certain slice of the global elite being embarrassed in the stories, isn't it?
If that's your goal. Personally I host content that people can use or not. I'll link friends if I want them to see it. Visitors don't cost me anything, it doesn't really bring me anything (other than ego?) to have visitors either. Hence I saw fit to also block google (two years ago already apparently, I thought it was much more recent) and it didn't negatively impact my site in any way.
> instead of a more expressive one?

I would not consider a C++ API particularly more expressive than a C API.

RAII handles are nice. But that’s about all the expressiveness you get from C++ at the API level.

Languages that provide expressiveness generally do so at the implementation level, in my experience.

To that end, there are type systems in some languages (turnstile in racket comes to mind) that are implemented entirely using macros.

Turnstile isn't enough to model certain type systems (for reasons too complex to reasonably cover here), but it's interesting to see that types-as-macros-over-the-untyped-lambda-form has been done to a reasonable degree of success.

I borrow $100 from the bank which creates $100. I buy seeds and plant trees. I sell 100 Apples to pay the loan back. Did the value of the dollar go down? No it didn't. This is how the supply of money can go up much faster than inflation.
I actually experienced a similar issue between the jack and the cable with exposed wires. It didn't affect audio quality for me, so it was just cosmetic; I wrapped electrical tape around the exposure as a fix.

This shouldn't happen considering the price, but it wasn't a dealbreaker for my personal preferences (as the fix wasn't too noticeable, and I enjoy the noise isolation and sound quality).
This happens with scammers a lot from what I've seen. I watch Jim Browning and it's interesting to see how often a scammer will say "No, that other person was trying to scam you, do not talk to them, only talk to us" when they see evidence of a previous scam.

Incidentally, this is the real reason why "Western" states are so hung-up on copyright enforcement: nevermind the movie bullshit, IP is a door throughout which profits can be arbitrarily shuffled around by the rich and the powerful. It creates a parallel reality where imaginary goods can be transferred from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, creating infinite possibilities for transfer pricing. And if anyone objects? Ahh, they clearly want to starve artists and creatives!

It's genius, and we all go along with it because how can you hate art and imagination? It's such a fundamental side of human nature. By turning its output into pseudo-goods, we think we're moving up in the civilization scale, whereas we're just enabling a parasitical accumulation of capital.
> I don't think the problem is so much a problem with all politically charged ideas. It seems like there's something specific about ideas with a sort of left-ish academic origin that makes them almost intentionally designed to be distorted or misunderstood by people who aren't deeply a part of the group already. I sometimes think they might even be intended to provoke that kind of reaction and misunderstanding as a form of validation.

Another way of looking at this is that these ideas have little-to-no intellectual content (just some mumbling about "power structures"). They are pure resentment given an intellectual gloss. When the ideas come in contact with the real world, away from academia, that quickly becomes clear.
