Yes, although that test is automated and typically done by a technician not an optometrist. You can train someone to use one of these machines in a few hours. If this was a key test no reason we couldn’t just put one in every GP office and have eye pressure checked during an annual checkup.
The title here is misleading (there's no 2022 in the linked page).

The joke is that this was released in 2016 when the new MBP with the touch bar came out, and was reviewing the _previous_ version as an improvement over the new one.

I feel like people are missing the joke here for lots of reasons, but the addition of 2022 to the title here contributes.
It now opaquely covers the entire screen when you look at a single notification.

I've had a good experience from vision direct. A student I know says it's the recommended option for foreign students at the university in the UK they go to.
Anything new about these 5 points since then?
>Wheels on luggage. Why were they so late in coming along? Was it not obvious?

Only in hindsight, in my opinion.

You needed the inconvenience of hauling it around to recognize there had to be a better way, just like all other forms of innovation it comes with experience and something to correct or smooth over.
I think Cue is more aimed at configuration file management.

Think Kubernetes, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and Salt. There you have tens to hundreds to thousands of YAML/JSON files that describe your server configuration and there's no way to validate any of it out of the box.

Even more broadly, most configuration files in general don't have any validation. For example things in the /etc/ directory on a Linux server. That fits under configuration file management too.

I'm not sure about your specific use case, but if you haven't considered something like Protocol Buffers -- I'd highly recommend at least looking into it. JSON sucks, sometimes.
I think there is a fair bit of truth to that.

Freediving is also a very decentralized sport, so it is unclear how safety standards could even be implemented outside of the very niche competitive setting.

In comparison, SCUBA has a certification system and means of enforcement via tank, trip, and service providers.

Assuming the receiver uses a proper offshore construct to accept the payment, this would go by unnoticed by your DD?

But most interesting: What is your best guess - Your partner says you find “a hand full” from a few hundred - how many of these cases do you miss because the recipients use a not easy traceable proxy entity to collect the payment?

Do you try to uncover such hidden actions, if yes, how?

Also, is there a good reason why someone would not use a offshore proxy/holding?
My LG 5k monitor acts as my hub and power source, so I'm pretty close to "plug 1 thing". And from there I have a wired apple keyboard that connects to the monitor (yes with a dongle). But the keyboard has 2 old USB connectors which double as thumb drive connectors.

As it stands, I still have an analog audio out because I've procrastinated on getting a usb digital in/out, and I also have a ethernet <-> thunderbolt connector because I only got about 400Mb/s when going via the monitor instead of 950+ when going direct.

3 small connectors all on 1 side isn't that bad.

That being said, I welcome the HDMI addition mostly for older conference rooms which aren't equipped with Apple TV / Webex Proximity / etc.
The major reason, I have an account isnt so that someone could impersonate me there, they could support the impersonator. And leave me hanging, if things turn out bad.

I think a lot of people feel "clever" and like what they're doing is, while not expressly allowed, not forbidden either.

See a bunch of people in this thread finding out they're probably committing tax fraud by underpaying themselves from their own s-corp to dodge taxes.
The SmallTalk I was taught (Pharo) was written very much in this style:

Test first, send a messages to objects, or inject something smarter.

... and I loved it. Talking to a living thing via messages felt a lot like Erlang or Lisp. I don't get that vibe from Java/C#, despite similarities.

I should probably pick up SmallTalk again. Any recommendations?
Even though I agree with your sentiment, you would be surprised just how many ads in India include foreigners (all white) exclusively, it’s fucking ridiculous :D

> as well as impacts on the South Texas community, such as gentrification (!)

I do not understand the logic of that complaint. Many people in an area are afflicted with poverty, so let us oppose a project which is creating lots of jobs, and especially jobs such as construction, welding, manufacturing, transport/logistics, etc, which are accessible to people who don’t have a university education
Both are not mutually exclusive. His leaving may be why they changed track. However that is not why they are harping these reverts as new features/innovation.
No, from what I remember 10yrs ago when Uber was still starting it was already quite popular to push people into 'fake B2B' arrangement.

I remember truck drivers, paramedics and others pushed into 'fake B2B' for years and there is quite a lot of regulation in EU that if you have a single customer as a single proprietor you might be checked if it is 'fake B2B'.

Being an "app company" just made it easier.
I want American businesses to look towards cultivating local talent first. I don't disagree with the desire to have "smart, hard working, talented people coming to the US" but from my experience big companies use H1B's as a means of getting cheaper labor and having more power/leverage over the individual.
> requiring government buildings to be aesthetically pleasing is arguably pro social.

I don't think anyone is debating that, but the linchpin of the discussion is really about who gets to decide what is "aesthetically pleasing". What if I happen to really love Brutalist buildings? In 1962 Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture”[1], but specifically cautioned against an official style. He wrote, "The design of Federal office building... must provide visual testimony to the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability of the American Government."[2] What was wrong with that guide?

Well they never gave us our money back for our keyboards where the keys fell off or the dGPU that overheats and throttles the CPU, when the CPU isn't even doing any useful work
EU and US is just fundamentally different. It is hard to overstate that. But it comes with trade-offs. Workers in EU, in general, have better standards at work than in US. It helps that in EU, healthcare is not directly part of employer cost ( everyone pays into it ). EU tends ( I do mean tends, because it seems to vary greatly ) toward unions, whereas US truckers seeem un-unionized by and large.
You'd save a bit in some cases but now you'd have the problem of trying to schedule meetings because "8 am" is no longer tied to an area, so you have to now take location into account, which is what timezones already do.
All of that is currently available. (and has been for a decade)
Big Objects is explained in detail in the Java Beans Spec: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javabeans-sp...

The idea may have died, but there's still lots of vestiges of it in the Java world.

- getters and setters with standardized names

- Swing mechanics like EventListeners and PropertyChangeListener

- Java Serialization

They hoped that a Java bean could be plugged into any UI and be visualized, modified and generally integrated into any app, so you could "buy" beans made by other developers, for example.

It was definitely an interesting idea, but things went in a completely different direction, as we know.
Absolutely. A friend - who has passed away - had a great idea: tax companies for resources consumed. That would go a long way towards treating everything that we mine as precious, rather than just those items that we can already see the bottom of the barrel on (and taking into account that mining is creating an enormous amount of pollution).

Properly designed items should be easier, cheaper and quicker to recycle than to start with a mining step. One of the important bits here is now the various materials are joined, specifically, gluing is a barrier to recycling, as are various surface coatings. This is where I think we could make a very quick step in the right direction by designing not just for manufacturing costs but also for the cost of breaking the produced item up into its constituent elements.

Penalties for the fraction that can not be reliable returned to its pre-manufacture state, as well as an automatic obligation to take back and recycle any product produced.
That DPI value AFAIK only changed the text scale, not the scale of widgets. You are thinking of two different things, the GTK3 integer scale actually affects widgets. The Xft.dpi setting also originally only meant text scale but has apparently been overloaded to apply to widgets in Qt? I'm not sure, I haven't tried this recently and I don't use X11. But it's right there in the name: Xft is the X freetype font rendering.

I understand your frustration but from what I have seen, nothing has actually been removed. This is just a feature that was never implemented because nobody signed up to implement it. Wayland could be extended to support it eventually but somebody actually has to put in the work. I think the best bet for somebody working on this would be to get it fully working and stable in KDE first, since Qt apparently has the toolkit support for it, and then maybe it can be adapted to work for GTK.
So, in a poll about how their own industry works, 66% vs. 33% said that a 20 point difference (from 750 -> 770, which is not the standard score change from prep and the changes are lowest at the high end of the score range) would not make any significant difference in the chance that a student would have.

I don't follow the distinction between market as external environment and college admissions as internal environment. Could you elaborate?
Of course; we own have experienced this already! Some of my friends create new accounts - I have friends with 5+ profiles! And this is very convenient for Facebook as they report "new" signups! Unfortunately, it makes their content less valuable. For example, tagged photos, comments, etc. is now spanned thru more than one profile. I've been restricted multiple times and their pages to dispute give me a generic error every time I try - this is on purpose, too.
But who does the "proper" tuning?

> relative risk reduction [...] “is just another way of lying.”

> You read that a new drug reduces your chance of dying from Ryantastic syndrome by 40 percent. Here’s what that means in practice: if 10 in 100,000 people normally die from Ryantastic syndrome, and everyone takes the new drug, only 6 in 100,000 people will die from Ryantastic syndrome. Now let’s think about it from an NNT perspective.

> For 100,000 patients who took the new drug, four deaths by Ryantastic syndrome were avoided, or one per 25,000 patients who took the drug. So the NNT is 25,000; that is, 25,000 patients must take the drug in order for one death-by-Ryantastic to be avoided. Ideally, you also want to know the NNH, or “number needed to harm.”

> Let’s say that 1 in 1,000 patients who take the new drug suffer a particular grievous side effect. In that case, the NNH is 1,000, while the NNT is 25,000. Suddenly, the decision seems a lot more complicated than if you’re just told the drug will lower your chance of dying from Ryantastic syndrome by 40 percent.
I guess something has to give when you ship a laptop with a chip larger (and on a smaller, more expensive node) than a $1k high-end GPU.

That thing's transistor count is insane
We can look at historic documentation of primitive cultures and archaeological evidence, which is of course biased but hardly useless. Single parents with children are documented as being at a significant disadvantage, but that’s true after the loss of either parent.

Food sharing between tribe members is also common, skilled labor like napping is rewarded. Food gathering is also highly variable with excess food is of limited value in times of plenty, significant amounts go to waste. Making food preservation a major long term benefit.

Calculating lifetime contributions is therefore tricky especially if you try to account for lifespans. Hunting large animals is flat out dangerous.
I agree. Maybe in a few decades we'll just stick to China Standard Time.
Yeah, I agree. Microtransactions are indeed the elephant in the room. I purposely spoke about the best games, because once you go below that you run into developers who build games that strongly incentivize you to spend lots and lots of money on microtransactions, and completely ruin mechanics of the game that make it engaging.
I believe, if you really want to understand how a game engine works, you need to try to build a game from scratch in your favorite programming language. It's a fun exercise and you really grow as a programmer. If you use an existing engine, you will never really need to know how to initialize a window for rendering, you never need to touch opengl/directx/vulkan/etc, you never create a rendering loop, a scene tree, implement a matrix library, create a basic physic engine or integrate a scripting language.

All those things are fun! I know it, because I spent about 8 years on and off tinkering on my own engine in my spare time when I was younger. And what can I show you after all those years? A fun tech demo maybe, but other than that, not a single finished game.

Game development is different nowadays. To stand out, you need to know about game design, concept art, color theory, texturing, tile-mapping, lighting, shaders, interface design, sound design, sprite animations or skeletal animations, networking... The list goes on and on. And then your game also needs to be fun!

If you go the route of implementing or integrating everything yourself, you will never reach the level of someone who knows an existing engine in-and-out. Today, if you want to create games, it's far more important to create as many games in a short time as possible. Just look at competitions like Ludum Dare to realize and appreciate how far even small game engines can help you to create a fully fledged game within 48 or 72 hours. It's crazy. This will improve your skills as a game designer far more than building your own engine.
I see three total representations of time... I think? I think that's what I'm looking at on the left screenshot on the "Mon 4" widget? A clock face? One of them's normal (top bar), one (the clock face) looks way more "cutesy" and decorative than functional, so I guess if it's some customization and not standard, that's fine, but what's with the Lock Screen? Why print the time with unusual formatting on there? (I know, I know, the answer is "it looks very nice in screenshots for marketing... and for my portfolio")

Rightmost screenshot: wow, iOS and Android quick-settings screens have converged a lot more than I realized, since I was last in the Android world. Who copied whom?

It's really weird that the rightmost screenshot (the quick-settings screen) bumps the top bar down for a second top bar that just prints the date, in small type.

The permissions and privacy stuff seems OK but I'm surprised they were so far behind on that front that this is new.

Screenshot interface is also damn near identical to the one on my iPhone. Again, dunno who got there first, or if it's just convergent design... but wow, it's very close. The "scrolling screenshot" thing is cool, though I wonder how that'll interact with drawing rules for various app widgets—or maybe it just works on web content? (no clue if my iPhone can do that—I don't think so?)

Phone switching feature—again, I'm surprised this is new for them. Being able to do it from iPhone, too, is a nice touch though.
Is it rightful to chastise them either way? It'd be one thing if there were a leaked internal memo saying to exclude a particular race, but this could just as easily be the result of a marketing intern arbitrarily selecting stock photos.

Personally, I also didn't notice the presence of white men or lack thereof until you brought it up.
I suppose the next step is to sue Penguin for Copyright infringement.

It is a testament to how twisted the copyright laws are that they result in this sort of situation.

>5 deaths

You fell for fake news. Three of the deaths were from natural causes, one was from a drug overdose: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_a...

"5 deaths (1 from gunshot, 1 from drug overdose, 3 from natural causes)"
If unfalsifiable simulation is unjustifiable, that's bad, isn't it?
When is the last time you saw Apple make everyone happy?

If you think this is bad, you should have been around after Jobs left in the 90's and the icky product line after Mac IIfx. No one liked the PowerMacs and PCs were so incredibly cheap that only art departments had macs.

But even when Jobs returned, remember when everyone lost their shit when Jobs removed the disk drive from the iMac?

Maybe the iPhone 3 was the last universally rejoiced Apple product.

(But that notch tho. It really tweaks my obsessive nature. I'm still on an iPhone 6 so I haven't encountered the notch anywhere yet.)
Under business laptops, didn't check consumer, here's what Dell offers with 64GB of RAM and a 14" display:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebo...

It comes with 2TB of storage (NVME). There's some kind of discount on their site that brings the price down to $3739, but list before that is $5346. A 14" MBP with the maxed out processor and RAM (also 64GB) and 2TB of storage is $4099. So about $300 more than the discounted Dell. Searching all their laptops and only limiting it by RAM (64GB) they show me five options, the above and 4 more. The above is the only one cheaper than the 14" MBP, and all of them are listed with a discount. Ignoring the discount they're showing me right now (how long is this good for? EDIT: Through 15 November, so a month remaining at these prices) they all (including the above) cost more than a 14" MBP with 64GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.

Are there other configurations which demonstrate that Dell is actually a spec-for-spec better price?
A background check that includes even a cursory review of the candidate's public social media presence would probably go pretty far in terms of weeding out the most extreme right or left wing people (who often tend to be vocal with their viewpoints).

There's a reason why I never post ANYTHING political on my public social media anymore. I keep all my controversial opinions limited to my alternate profiles.
All in all, that system sucked - it placed all the burden and risk on individuals to figure out how to cheat enough to make the system livable - but it was stable as a system.

- I think stability depends on what time frame you look at. Pushing how much time you spend driving, how little you sleep and so-forth may be stable for some period (weeks, months, a few years..) but it's not stable for a person longish term. Letting wages drift downward, so you wind-up hiring people with more problems (say, amphetamine addiction) may also be short-term stable but not long term stable.

The actually instability of the situation I think is illustrated by "chameleon carrier". Companies that shutdown and restart when they accumulate too safety violations.[1]

The thing about the situation is when things are being continually jury rigged to keep people working in the most profitable conditions for the carriers and the worst conditions for them, it's the opposite of stable, it's extremely fragile.

Sure, I suppose it could have meant "Because I had no financial security, I would have agreed to any large amount of money."

Instead, I read it as a rather amusing statement of "Because I struggled financially, I would truly appreciate $125 million dollars." Lol, no -- anyone who isn't born filthy rich, would appreciate that kind of money.

But overall it was a fun story to read. The above just struck me as an unconscious almost-defense, to justify the huge piles of money founders can get in silicon valley.

Similarly several people have commented that the front facing camera makes me look noticeably sharper and clearer in video calls.
