Utter nitpick: the original 128k Mac had color support (http://mirror.informatimago.com/next/developer.apple.com/doc...)

Of course, the screen was monochrome black and white, so you’d have to print things to see them, and I’m not aware of any printer driver ever supporting it (Color QuickDraw, when it arrived, didn’t build on this, as far as I know).

Chances also are this part of the code was less well exercised than other parts. It may have been buggy.

On the plus side, colors were 32-bit (see http://mirror.informatimago.com/next/developer.apple.com/doc..., where both fgColor and bkColor are 32 bits), but as indicated in the first link, you could only record a fixed set of 8 colors in pictures.

(Links are to a 1996 book, but that info was present in the phone book edition of Inside Macintosh (https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...), too)
Calyx and Graphene are also worth checking out if you have a compatible device.
Language and vernacular are fluid and things can become new things.

Yeah, that was a really good point that the article had made, that I hadn’t really put 2 and 2 together about before.
Nice project & explanation.

I can see myself expanding on this (maybe even re-hashing your library essentially) running:

1. a Calendar,

2. next to a Stock Ticker,

3. next to a Financial accounts (i.e. all current asset) combined with Financial goals.

I've been thinking about the third one for a while. E-Ink / a simple, low power, monochromatic screen (similar to Amazon Kindle eReader) would be a good choice.
Article is from March too. The paper/story about was posted several times 6 months ago (with little traction/comments/votes)
Not exactly surprising. A while ago I had the task to automate a part of my company’s business process. After meeting probably 20 people I concluded that everybody does their part and somehow it works ok but there is nobody who really knows what’s going on.
This is awesome! I'd love to build one. But I would probably like to have it plugged in, so I could update it more regularly with Spotify and some info from Home Assistant. The only problem is that I can't find Raspberry Pi Zeros anywhere. I tried ordering one yesterday to make a little Spotify Now Playing screen, and they're out of stock everywhere I looked.
> There is almost no point in buying an ecosystem-dependant device and then trying to cut off the ecosystem dependency.

The point of using an "ecosystem" is positive network effects, in the case of iOS it means a pool of shared-risk protection against common attacks, and a business model which yielded a huge app ecosystem, a.k.a front-end clients for web services. The greater those positive effects, the greater the incentive to mitigate the negative effects. Some are provided by Apple's obscure combinations of on-device Settings, device policy that is only configurable with Apple Configurator, or enterprise MDM policy.

It is unnecessary that such mitigations be employed by "most people", they only need to pass a cost-benefit analysis for those who use them. E.g. many iOS remote attacks can be mitigated by disabling Javascript, yet there has not been an option for per-site whitelisting of JS in Safari. Brave on iOS (reskin of Safari) provides this policy with one-click per site and now Apple allows Brave to be the system-wide default, possibly due to antitrust/EU/legal pressure. iOS 15 has added web extensions, which are already transforming the web experience.

It could be argued that if more people used "surveillance escape valves", there could be pressure to close them. The bigger the ecosystem, the more incentives there are to jump through hoops to gain benefits and mitigate risks. It's an ongoing negotiation, not blind surrender, even if the balance of power begins with asymmetry. E.g. people may start using Brave on iOS because it blocks Youtube interstitial video ads, allowing free access to the network effects of the YT ecosystem without paying a monthly fee. But once they are using Brave, JS security protections are one click away. The pendulum swings back and forth.

> The president is getting his daily intelligence briefing on an iPad. Ten years ago we wouldn't have done that, but that's what the president wants, so that's what he gets. Now, that iPad is neutered-it has no connectivity. It gets plugged into a docking station. We can do that for the president, but can we can't scale that. So the question is, can we use commercial products that are secure?" said Levine.

> If the price of a single item goes up, and you buy it, you have less money to spend on other items, and so the prices of those other items goes down.

Almost no one buys crude oil directly.

But it is a production input for a lot of things, so a shift in its supply curve shifts the supply curve of lots of other goods (including most consumer goods) in the same direction.

> In order for a general price increase, the supply of money must increase.

For demand pull inflation, supply × velocity × average propensity to consume needs to increase; for supply push inflation, though, nothing is required on the money (which is demand) side, you just need on average decrease in supply of consumer goods and services.
re: #4

Watch out for a few things:

1. Refreshes are much slower on 3-color eInk panels than on monochrome ones (eg: 20 sec vs 2)

2. Partial refresh on 3-color panels is rare and quickly gets messy around the edges. Partial refresh on monochrome panels is a relatively simple thing to do.

3. Greyscale on a 3-color eInk screen is VERY VERY VERY hard! Officially it is not supported at all. By any 3-color panel. I made it work [1] but even then, it is very very slow (bordering on a full minute per refresh).

4. Stock waveforms are rarely good. And almost no vendor will give you proper temp-compensated partial update waveforms. Developing your own waveforms for monochrome panels is easy and simple (~day). Developing your own waveforms for 3-color panels is a lot of work (~weeks + more weeks once you need to support more than just "21-25 celsius")

No, not by default. That would be impossible, since iCloud Backup first requires an iCloud Account, and then requires enough iCloud storage space to backup your phone. You get 5GB for free, which is not enough for a lot of people.

We have all this teeth gnashing about how the rich won't pay their fair share of taxes because they want to keep it all for themselves. But among those rich are people who don't want to pay taxes because of the things the government does with those taxes. Afghanistan anyone? War on terror? on and on.
> Wasn’t TU-144 just a pissing contest entry with retrofitted engines of another aircraft?

Pissing contest, maybe, but the Tu-144 was its own aircraft. The airframe was designed from day one to be exactly what it was, a supersonic airliner (and contrary to popular myth, the design was not simply stolen from the Concorde although maybe the premise was..) I'm not sure if the original Tu-144 engines, the NK-144's, were originally intended for another plane, but as far as I know the only planes they were ever put in were the Tu-144. They were later replaced by RD-36 engines, which were designed for the Tu-144.

And let's not forget the Concorde's engines had a military background. They were derived from engines originally meant for the [cancelled] TSR-2.

The major problem I see for Boom is social. Environmental and class/economic concerns particularly; see the public backlash against Jeff Bezos' rocket hop for instance. Not to mention, the little experiment we've been running for the past ~2 years with remote work and teleconferencing has probably reduced demand for high speed business travel.
Likely because reality is out of fashion at present.
As a SWE working on Google Search, I can tell you this is not the case for Google Search (Nobody understands anywhere close to 85% of it). The amount of different moving pieces is enormous, and most parts are constantly being changed. The best you can do is to have an understanding of which system is responsible for what, and delegating to someone who is an expert in that system when you need to dig into what it is doing.
I feel a tiny bit less stupid now. It's also meaningless to me :-)

I don’t think modeling can be done. Unlike thermodynamics an economy doesn’t follow reproducible natural laws. You can model some aspects but as soon as you make decisions based on the model somebody will take advantage of it and the model won’t work anymore.

An economy is way more psychology than natural science.
Why would they list ECS and OpenShift but not Kubernetes? OpenShift is just a RH branded K8s, and K8s is just a more complicated ECS. And Docker Swarm is basically ECS in a box, but it's not listed.

Is it really a good idea to train people to code in an environment that is so different from the one they'll have in real life?

I know the goal is to lower the bar to start out. But anyway, I just wonder whether we're going to far that might actually mislead people about how hard it is to program professionally.

In the 70's, the government tried hard to blame inflation on the oil embargo, greedy capitalists, and the avarice of unions. Gerald Ford's idiotic W.I.N. buttons (Whip Inflation Now) were a particularly pathetic attempt at deflection of the real cause - government running the printing press.

Other notable examples of inflation in America:

1. The "not worth a Continental" inflation in the Civil War.

2. The inflation of the Confederate dollar as the Rebel treasury was a printing press

3. Inflation due to the flood of gold coming from the California gold rush

There is also the inflation in Spain as they looted the New World of gold and silver. It all didn't help Spain that much, as it just produced inflation. Spain never realized what the real wealth in the New World was.
Hangeul in the age of AI: survival of the fittest? (Pt. 1)
People gluing together lots of stuff to making something barely-working and massively inefficient is not a new phenomenon. Unfortunately, all the "maker movement" seems to have done is encourage it more. Careful design, knowledge and learning is being discouraged in favour of superficial understanding, copy-pasting, tweaking-until-it-works. They don't want to spend the time to learn the basics. I was recently saddened to see someone who had published code for a tiny project in Asm being asked if there could be "an Arduino version".

Some related philosophical discussions on that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8679471
This is the actual abstract from the actual study. Most comments here seem to be referring to a strawman version of the study.

Abstract:

> We investigate what data iOS on an iPhone shares with Apple and what data Google Android on a Pixel phone shares with Google. We find that even when minimally configured and the handset is idle both iOS and Google Android share data with Apple/Google on average every 4.5 mins. The phone IMEI, hardware serial number, SIM serial number and IMSI, handset phone number etc are shared with Apple and Google. Both iOS and Google Android transmit telemetry, despite the user explicitly opting out of this. When a SIM is inserted both iOS and Google Android send details to Apple/Google. iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Users have no opt out from this and currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing.

That is the extent of the data sharing unless the user allows more.
Shinkansen are also replaced earlier because it wear faster than normal trains due to its speed, and failure causes catastrophic result.
Please stop assuming everyone shares your values and beliefs. Personally, I think that while there is some mismanagement at Facebook (that can be fixed) most of the issues brought up can probably be expected from anyone in this problem space at this scale. Facebook has allowed me to discover a lot of opportunities and connect with some long lost friends, so I would say the cost is worth it.
There's also been a major push to use the word "warrior". Not everyone is a fan.

See, eg: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/19/united-states-afghanist...

Edit: As others have noted, "soldier" is traditionally a term reserved for members of an army. So for anything that cuts across the entire armed forces, you end up with soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, coast guardsmen, and (of course) guardians (which is, I'm sad to say, the actual term for members of the Space Force). That's unworkably long (and it gets worse if you want to try and find gender neutral phrasing for "airmen" and "coast guardmen"; "airmen, airwomen, coast guardsmen, coast guardwomen" is even more ridiculously unworkable, and "airperson" is just too dumb to contemplate). I think the only reasonable answer is "serviceperson" or "servicemen and servicewomen", but I can't fault people for disliking those. But "warrior", as the article notes, already has incompatible meanings, and "warfighter" isn't much better.

Maybe the real answer is just to adopt the Space Force term for the entire armed forces, and call everyone guardians. (And it kills me that this is, actually, one the better ideas I've heard.)

6 additional things a day to pay attention to for a month straight is cognitively challenging for a lot of people. A lot of people are dealing with sustained burnout. Stop to look at spam, in my email, isn’t a burden for me. I just don’t look at it. But stop and look at spam in my PRs? That’s triage. And a context switch. If it’s a larger volume it makes looking at non-spam just as onerous because everything needs extra scrutiny.

I appreciate that you mention in your bio that you do work in Ads at Google, which seems directly relevant to OP’s point about boycotting Google by blocking indexing. If Google can’t or otherwise doesn’t index your content, Google can’t profit from selling ads that it otherwise show alongside search results for it. If Google de-indexing became popular among a group of content creators, other search engines may not be similarly blocked, and other alternatives to find said content would be found or created, all to the detriment of Google Ads placement, which is a profitable - and inseparable - component of Google Search.

I don't know any WFO advocate who thinks that everyone must work from an office. Managers saying their workers must work from an office doesn't do that from the perspective of an WFO advocate, but to make their workers more efficient as they think that office workers perform better. Similarly managers who forces all their workers to WFH (by not having an office) doesn't advocate for everyone to WFH, rather they think that it is more efficient to work from home so that is how they run their team, there is no grand social statement about this.

Facebook might be a factor in the division we see today in America but don't kid yourself: we were pretty f*in' divided during the Bush years—the Supreme Court had to decide that election, and the 9/11 unity lasted about a day and a half—and the GOP stopped at nothing to go after Clinton.

This has been going on since the 1980s. Facebook may be an accelerant, but it didn't start this fire—not by a long shot.
C([0,1]) is not a Hilbert space but a Banach space. Every Hilbert space is a Banach space, but not vice versa. The version of the theorem for Hilbert spaces is indeed a lot easier to prove than the one given in the article.

that has got one guy complaining about fdb, and a couple of others saying positive things.

so in short, you've got no experience with fdb, wrote a couple of paragraphs of speculation and references to other systems, and then declared victory, hoping nobody would read the other thread, i guess.

i've written stuff against fdb, and i've seen it in non-trivial production. it's not a panacea, it's a useful point in the design space of databases, and does pretty well there.

Again, if you have $10, and the price of X goes from $5 to $7, now you only have $3 to spend on other things, which reduces the price of those other things.

But if someone gives you $20, now you have $7 to spend on X and $13 to bid up the prices on other things.

Demand push and supply pull explanations do not account for this, and are inadequate (though still popular) theories.
Check out the next paragraph in my link:

> Promoting antifragility doesn’t mean that government institutions should avoid intervention altogether. In fact, a key problem with overzealous intervention is that, by depleting resources, it often results in a failure to intervene in more urgent situations, like natural disasters. So in complex systems, we should limit government (and other) interventions to important matters: The state should be there for emergency-room surgery, not nanny-style maintenance and overmedication of the patient—and it should get better at the former.
Yes, battery-conserving notification interrupts are part of an always-reachable lifestyle, which requires surrender to behavioral telemetry with the potential long-term consequence of influencing the human's behavior (e.g. via advertising).

Regardless of an app's implementation of polling/notifications, most apps will poll servers when first started or network service is restored.
Not traffic that is being sent via other protocols or on different ports. One way of doing this would be setting up a computer to pass its internet connection via NAT firewall rules to the apple device and behave like an access point. From there you could dump the raw traffic to/from the apple device. Regarding encrypted content, it’s probable that the telemetry and other info being sent is signed with a key that is not available in user space so you wouldn’t be able to add a key to view it. However you would definitey be able to see it being sent and the packet size/frequency ect
The important and popular ones are absolutely available, but those are usually important because they have entered the realm of "common knowledge," at least in a particular sub-field. These are going to be at the top of the list when it comes to digitizing useful historic records. It's fairly easy to OCR a PDF, so as long as someone with some time decided "hey, this might be useful" then you'll probably be able to find it.

If you're doing databases then you've almost certainly been exposed to Codd's work, if not through his papers and books, then at least through textbooks and lectures. There are countless blogs, lecture series, and presentations that will happily direct you there.

The challenge is that there's also a mountain of work that never really got much popularity for whatever reason. Say a paper was ahead of it's time, or was released with bad timing, or simply kept the most interesting parts until the end where few people might have noticed. It's these sort of gems that are hard to find. It's hard to even know how many of these there are, because they are by definition not popular enough for most people to know about them.
