Startpage started aggressively monetizing a few months ago. At least that's when I realized there are way more paid results (ads) than before. I've been mooching for years so I thought that's ok. Maybe the owner wants some return for their money and I can live with scrolling a few more paid results.

But they didn't stop there. I bailed as soon as they started requiring js no matter what. They actively deny access to the site without js enabled.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
Interesting to hear, thanks for the info! I imagine Zig's SIMD is still very immature, I haven't tinkered with it at all yet either - so what I said above is pure speculation about the future.
I was too late to edit, so commenting on self (sorry).

The killer feature of Sieve, for me, is that the scripts are stored and run on the server; your mail is sorted on delivery to the server. And because Sieve is a standard, you can port your scripts to a different server.
On Apple's website, see the notes below the battery consumption claims.

https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/#footnote-23

They are using the m1 pro to get their battery claim numbers.

I ordered an M1 Pro based on the slightly lower price and my assumption that it will be less power hungry. If it is only 200 dollars cheaper why else would they even offer the M1 Pro? The extra performance of he max seems like overkill for my needs so if it has worse power consumption I don't want it. I could probably get away with an M1 but I need the 16" screen.

We will find out in a few weeks when there are benchmarks posted by 3rd party reviewers, but by that time who knows how long it will take to order one.
> I've been doing fine on Debian dropping files in /etc/systemd, with a possible hook to `systemctl enable`.

Don't forget `systemctl daemon-reload` to update the in-memory state when the unit files change. The `edit` command takes care of that for you. It also provides a template for the override files (when not using `--full`) which shows the current settings.

You are free to just drop files in /etc/systemd, of course. This is a fully-supported workflow. The `edit` command is only there for the convenience of the system administrator.

> A rudimentary ad-hoc object system with overrides etc for every program is like the exact opposite of what I want when doing sysadmin.

Are we talking about systemd, or NixOS? Their approaches to configuration really aren't all that different in this regard but you still seem to prefer one over the other. Or is the problem perhaps that you have two different programs trying to manage the configuration?

Personally, from the POV of distributions other than NixOS, I think the systemd approach is far superior to alternatives without overrides, where the only choice is to clone & modify the vendor-provided scripts. With overrides you can fine-tune the parts that matter for your environment without taking over the maintenance of the entire script (or unit file). For example, it's more likely to keep working after an upgrade.
Yeah, I was living with gaming on a Mac when that happened, and watched 2/3rds of my Steam library get greyed out.
Every data processing workload is basically S3 based. Hadoop in the cloud is nothing more than X on HDFS on S3.

But egress fees apply for everything, not just S3.

Currently cross-cloud or multi-cloud orchestration and/or scheduling makes no sense, because egress fees just make it uneconomical (in most cases). The lower the fee gets the better the numbers will look like for mixing and marching services from providers.
I think it's likely that both of these can be true. That it is easier for the developers to not emulate it, but also that there is no will to get it done right now because it makes emulation hard for non developers but still easy for them. Which lets them develop in the dark without the media and legal teams on them.

>Study? You're hoping for a peer-reviewed science journal that published an article on who's offended by Joe Rogan?

Oh, so you have nothing. Thanks for agreeing with me. Your points dismissed.

>The original claim was that the total number of people still offended by COVID-victim Joe Rogan's comments was "none."

Not my nor your claim. Stop shifting goal posts.

>I've posted evidence to support mine

Wrong, you've posted none such thing, as I have proven above. You still haven't supplied evidence to support your claim.

Yellow journalism predates the birth of Trump, wrong again.
I got hit by the same year long gradual bill increase. I didn't notice at first, as the number seemed right, but then at 6 months or so I looked into why the price seemed so much higher than what I remember and got really upset.

When I looked into it, it seemed as though they restructured their plans multiple times during the ~4 years I was paying them, and I got placed into the most expensive option which was originally the same price as what I started with. I was also locked into a year long commitment at some point, and they wouldn't budge on letting me downgrade to the lower plan mid year (I didn't have a use for any of the advanced features).

The support chat told me the same thing about the changes being announced via marketing emails, and said they could not credit, cancel or downgrade my plan. The support agent also couldn't care less when I said it would cause me to cancel my plan at renewal.

The whole experience left me with a really bad impression, I went from a huge advocate to telling everyone to avoid them.
If it improves compilation speeds by 1% then it's not a waste.

"Today's presentation was almost completely devoid of any software discussion, which is really what puts the nail in the coffin for me."

Literally what? This isn't WWDC. It was an event for presenting new hardware. There was zero chance of it being software or (especially) developer focused.
I'd make one change to the advice - instead of "Buy a rower", I'd say, "Buy whatever machine you will actually use." Whether that is a rower or anything else, the point is to do something, and do it consistently.
Apple uses the Arm Aarch64 instruction set with Apple silicon which is Arm IP. I don't believe that any Apple silicon uses any other Arm IP but who really knows since it is likely Apple would have written any contracts to prevent disclosure.

> AWS has 17 ways to run containers and 7 ways to do async message processing, all overlapping and reinforcing and supporting each other, Cloudflare will tend toward introducing singular primitives, stuff them in a box, and try to ship those boxes to as many places as will possibly take them.

Actually AWS also "tend toward introducing singular primitives, stuff them in a box, and try to ship those boxes to as many places as will possibly take them."

It's just that AWS covers such a larger terrotery, that they appear fragmented.

This is why I now almost don't read this type of macro-analysis articles. They themselves lack the overall birds-eye view, because they are usually produced by people with little concrete technical background.

They often is very good at producing analogy, which is very intuitive, but very easily breakdown after moderate amount of details.
Nah I'm not gonna spend 3500 on this.
> how many workloads actually require 64gb of ram?

Don't worry, Chrome will eat that up in no time!

More seriously, I look forward to more RAM for some of the datasets I work with. At least so I don't have to close everything else while running those workloads.
It's wild that I was able to read that in my head at full speed, with the correct word pronunciation (except the last word... wonder what the upper limit on that is anyway?)
Is the CPU actually faster on the entry level? Both M1 and the M1 Pro have 8 cores.
Don’t run Chrome and Slack at the same time :)
I wonder what the skin detection is for?
I’ve been enjoying The Pete Plan. Somehow, a 4x2k piece is much less psychologically taxing than one 8k, and pyramids are super fun.

Lately i've been playing a game called "can you negative split a piece"; usually, the answer's yes!

> It sounds simple but I believe this held him back not just in work but in life. I happen to know that he didn't have great communication with his wife and kids either - solving this thing would make him so much better at all parts of his life.

Did he improve? Or do you just think he could improve? Maybe he had already tried to work hard on his communication skills and this was as good as it gets, so to avoid the stress of failing over and over he just stopped trying? There is nothing wrong with that, having a programmer who can write good code is valuable even if you need a technical product manager to talk to him. It might not be as valuable, but at some point life is more important than stressing out about things you can't fix.

Similarly we don't blame all the product managers etc who never improve their technical skills enough to talk with such engineers. People have limits, some have more limits than others, we just have to learn to accept that people are different instead of demanding that they have the same skills as us.
Except you already paid more to get the M1 Max, too, the upgrade to 64 is not available on any other models.
Wouldn't hardware revenue be much higher than software revenue because costs are equally high?
Right. Im not speaking to iPhones or iPads here, but the non-serviceability creates a robustness pretty unmatched by Windows laptops in terms of durability.

Was resting my 2010 MBP on the railing of a second story balcony during a film shoot and it dropped onto the marble floor below. Got pretty dented, but all that didn't work was the ethernet port. Got the 2015 one and it was my favorite machine ever - until it got stolen.

2017 one (typing on now) is the worst thing I've ever owned and I'm looking forward to getting one of the new ones. 2017 one:
-Fries any low voltage USB device I plug in (according to some internal Facebook forms they returned 2-5k of this batch for that reason)
-When it fried an external drive plugged in on the right, also blew out the right speaker.
-Every time I try and charge it I get to guess which USB-C port is going to work for charging. If I pick wrong I have to power cycle to power brick (this is super fun when the laptops dead and there's no power indicator, as there is on the revived magsafe)
-Half-dime shaped bit of glass popped out of the bottom of the screen when it was under load - this has happened to others in the same spot but user error..

Pissed Apple wouldn't replace it given how many other users have had the same issues, but this thing has taken a beating as have my past laptops. I'll still give them money if the new one proves to be as good as it seems.
If I were to guess, I'd guess because Firecracker is something "that good hackers would find interesting" https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
The "fullscreen" screen area is the 16:10 that results from subtracting the notch height. The area left and right of the notch is strictly for the menu bar and will be blanked out on video or full-screen apps.

I guess that if you auto-hide the menu bar, a black strip will mask the area.
Buy a house 40 years ago, pay your mortgage like a good workerbee

Finish paying mortgage, use the equity to buy a house 20 years ago and rent it out. Rent income > mortgage interest (and capital too)

House price increases, use equity to buy a few more houses.

Fast forward to today, you have 3 million in equity and 10k/month coming in after costs.
I think you can in rust as long as args is a slice. Rust doesn't have varargs except for c interop. A slice or Vec of function pointers is the idiomatic way to do the same thing.

Something like:

fn compose<X, T>(start: Box<Fn(T) -> X>, args: Vec<Box<Fn(T) -> T>>) -> Fn(T) -> X {
move |x: X| {
let mut x = x;
for func in args.iter(). reversed() {
x = func(x);
}
start(x)
}
}

It's just hard to know what people mean when they say "most people don't need to do this." I was sitting wondering about a similar scale (200-1000 rps), where I've had issues with scaling rabbitmq, and have been thinking about whether kafka might help.

Without context provided, you might think: "oh, here's somebody with kafka and postgres experience, saying that postgres has some other super powers I hadn't learned about yet. Maybe I need to go learn me some more postgres and see how it's possible."

It would be helpful for folks to provide generalized measures of scale. "Right tool for the job," sure, but in the case of postgres, it often feels like there are a lot of incredible capabilities lurking.

I don't know what's normal for day-to-day software engineers anymore. Was the parent comment describing 100-500 rps really "a minority of situations?" I'm sure it is for most businesses. But is it "the minority of situations" that software engineers are actively trying to solve in 2021? I have no clue.

Because banks don't create their own currencies.

The US dollar is backed the US. All banks are supervised and insured by that same government. If a bank takes on too much risk, a) there are people watching that, and b) the US can wind it up and pay everybody back. So a single bank failure causes approximately zero currency risk. As long as you stay under the FDIC limits, you'll get back every dollar you put in.

Tether, on the other hand, is backed a bunch of shady characters who have been caught lying about what backs their currency. They claim it's 1:1 with US dollars, meaning that people buying Tether have no risk. But the more we learn about what they're doing, the clearer it is that it's not the case.
What's interesting is Dell is shipping machines at top end with chips from generally older / slower nodes. Somehow Apple has some kind of lock on a lot of capacity at TSMC at the top end of the node range.

That XPS 15" is probably running a comet lake chip.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/comet_...

Ie, 14mm, launched in 2019

That node size (less the ++'s) goes back to Skylake (when it was amazing actually) which is from 2015.
I'm arguing that (2) should be fine. Piercing the veil is only a concern if the managers/owners of the overarching LLC could be found liable. But this would be a bona fide business for them, so why should they? Piercing the veil of an individual series to go after the original uploader would be a definite possibility, but the whole point of this setup is for the original uploader to not have have to dox themselves to file a counterclaim.

Pooling like (1) might be an interesting approach to strengthen things further. You don't need to own a copyright to defend against a copyright claim, so the work merely needs to be licensed to the LLC series. A nontransferrable license to upload a work to a web host has little commercial value. In the worst case, a successful claimant would get the ability to contact webhosts to seize control of other accounts it then owns, and the ability to disrupt defense of other claims by seizing incoming funding. But given how useless such results would be, would it even be worth it for a troll to press that far?

You could add additional interested parties into the mix by playing the public good angle. Donate to this foundation to protect user generated content against SLAPPs, etc.

Rowing is also part of my lifestyle since beginning of Corona and it is one of best decisions I have ever taken in my life. (I'm just 32)

Memory safety also adds reliability, by catching bugs statically that you didn't catch during (automated or manual) testing. It's the same argument as for static typing.

It's of course true that some developers may judge the tradeoffs differently for their individual projects—that's why they're tradeoffs! But there are benefits to memory safety that go beyond security.
Do you have a recentish concept2? If so, the performance monitor lets you connect apps to it and get live feeds of your performance data - you could do something like pause your stream/display a popup warning to remember your form whenever your force curve deviates far enough from ideal
I would agree - only that I don’t find many people on Twitter criticizing the trio. The article mentions one tweet (30 retweets, under 300 favs as of now - even after being mentioned in the guardian). Searching to the name doesn’t reveal much - some newspapers and mainly people laughing about the affair.

That’s one thing I don’t like about Twitter: I think single Tweets get blown out of portion quick, mainly because the media report on them as if „Twitter“ wanted something instead of single people.
Neither Apple, Microsoft, nor Parallels is planning to support x86-64 Windows on Apple silicon. You can run emulation software like QEMU and it works but it is very slow. UTM uses QEMU.
You are forgetting that YouTube was nearly got sued out of existence, until it bent over backwards to please the publishers.

Your theory that it went beyond the requirements of the settlement with Viacom is interesting, but unless you have insider information as to the terms of it, it is at best, speculative.

Would you stake billions of dollars on the legal theory that if YouTube followed the DMCA to the letter of the law, publishers would not be able to successfully sue them?
The Mac Pro might be blocked, or still progressing, through design changes more so than chip changes.
It somehow picked up Modesty.
That's kind of my point. Engineers are about black and white because that's what's required to make decisions, to ship things, to actually make something work.

Actionable truths are black and white.

Anyone can say "Oh, it's nuanced, it's complicated, it's hard to say for sure." The challenge is in penetrating that nuance and identifying what it is possible to make definitive, black-and-white statements about (i.e., to find the truth). To the extent that any group in society does this for a living, it's engineers.

Probably covering their butts in case whatever benchmark they used works differently on ARM vs x86, or if there are weird macOS differences. If there were a bunch of performance patches made to the Mac version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider that made it faster on macOS, that's not because of a faster chip (just an example, I don't know how they benchmark).
I don't understand your point.

Neurodiversity is a thing, but not every flaw and limitation can be attributable to an immutable biological fact about a person, and thus we have many opportunities to improve a grow.

If I told myself when I graduated college that I either had no problems or they were all permanent, I'd be a fucking mess of a 40 year today.

What is it about Commonwealth governments - the U.K. in particular - that makes them so extremely hostile towards privacy? There is always some push to monitor all [X], require registration to do [Y], or outlaw [Z] in the name of safety. Is there some cultural aspect to this that I as an American just don't grok? Yes, I know our government tries this B.S. too, but not nearly as eagerly and to the same degree.
Yeah, and they also deprecated OpenGL, which would have wiped out most of those games even if the 32-bit support didn't. I'm not expecting to see much backwards compatibility, I'm expecting forwards compatibility, and we're starting to see new titles come out with native Apple Silicon support, slowly, but surely.
> push the dongle ecosystem

Out of all the complaints about moving to USB-C, the idea that it is a conspiracy on Apple's part to sell dongles is the one that makes me roll my eyes the hardest. Say what you will about the USB-C-only MacBooks we've had in the last six years or so, but I'm fairly sure they were the first portable computers Apple ever shipped that had no proprietary connectors. No ADB, no MagSafe, no FireWire (not technically proprietary but largely DOA anywhere but Apple in the early 2000s).

I suspect if Apple had a magic wand (and/or even more of their money), they wouldn't have you buy dongles at all, they would have you buy new cables. Which is what I did years ago -- USB-C to Lightning, USB-C to mini-USB, USB-C to USB-A, even one USB-C to USB-B kicking around somewhere. And, because USB-C is not a proprietary standard, I don't think any of those cables are from Apple.

(Yes, I do have an Apple brand USB-C to USB-A dongle that I bought when I got my first USB-C laptop, because everyone was screaming how important they were. I almost never use it: if I find myself using it more than a few times for "dongle + cable", then I buy the correct cable.)
People are allowed to buy lottery tickets. They are also allowed to bet it all at a casino. Why shouldn't someone be able to put even a small amount of money in crypto?

Here New York is going after companies like Nexo that pretend like their risky crypto product is just like a bank account that happens to pay higher interest. Look how they advertise it on https://nexo.io/ -

ISO 27001:2013 Compliant. Impeccable risk assessment, data protection, and enhanced cybersecurity

$375 million insurance on all custodial assets

Add or withdraw funds at any time

Personally, I find these to be misleading statements. You can't necessarily add or withdraw funds at any time because you depend on Nexo's solvency which is not guaranteed like it is for a bank account, their risk assessment in my opinion is not impeccable, et cetera.

If Nexo is going to pretend they are as risk-free as a bank account, then it seems reasonable for New York to regulate their statements like they regulate bank accounts.
