Not OP but ordered a maxxed out 16" with 1TB SSD (can't justify 2k more for disk space, I'll just buy an external and curb my torrenting).

My work flow is intensive yet critical:

I have at all times the following open:

ELECTRON APPS: Slack, Telegram, Teams, Discord, Git Kraken, VSCode (multiple workspaces hosting different repos all running webpack webservers with hot module reloading), Trading View.

NATIVE APPS: Firefox (10 - 32 tabs, many with live web socket connections such as stock trading sites, various web email providers, and at least one background YouTube video or twitch stream), Chrome (~6 tabs with alternate accounts using similar web socketed connections), iTerm, Torrent client (with multiple active transfers).

All of this is being displayed on two external 4k screens + the laptop.

So ya, I can justify maxxed out specs as my demands are far higher than that of an average user and that's with me actively closing things I don't need. Also my work will happily pay for it, so why not?
Along with Fable highly recommend a look at Feliz. A joy to work with and its ViewEngine can also separately be used w/ Giraffe just for the syntax:

There was extended support planned for Pixel 2, which was dropped recently from mainline, but it has not happened yet.

One counter-point, FB settled with the US FTC for $5B. I think that's larger than any EU fine I know of.

(It might generally be true, but it is provably not always true.)
yes, well if I didn't use most of the built in functionality of a framework I suppose it would be a lot more like using a library.
I met a number of their journalists over the years including a professor who had wrote for them at one point (he was an Oxford PPE graduate although I am not sure if it was Magdalen college) and saw how the sausage was made first hand and how selective they were with the truth if it didn't fit their narrative. But that it is the case with all media. Read lots from different sources (e.g. western and non-western sources) and never forget the Gell-Man amnesia effect (pun not intended).
I don't know a ton about Fable, but they recently wrapped Google's Lit to allow building functional templating and web components in it: https://fable.io/Fable.Lit/

Seems like a neat project.
Phones are boring commodity devices at this point. The good news is even the cheap ones are pretty good these days. Which is why the market is so boring these days because it is strictly incremental updates to features that barely matter.

I have Fuji camera with a nice lens. So, I have no use/patience for ever disappointing phone cameras. I'm well aware that the high-end phone cameras are pretty decent at automatically getting the most out of mediocre sensors and lenses. However, this is something I enjoy doing manually with the best sensors and lenses I can get my hands on and the results just don't really compare. I think it's great complete amateurs can also take nice photos now but just not my thing. I actually care about my photography. And since cameras are just about the only feature either Apple or Google seems to talk about, I kind of lost interest in the whole market ages ago. Bla bla lenses bla bla sensors bla bla AI. Could not care less about megapixles, fake bokeh (aka. blurring), overly saturated and noise reduced (more blurring) photos (aka. night vision), etc.

Phone cameras are just not something I care about fundamentally. I use my phone as a glorified document scanner occasionally and that's about it. I also don't play games on my phone. Just not a thing for me. Otherwise, all smart phones I've had in the last ten years are fine for light browsing, consuming news, some audio, etc. which is pretty much all I do with them. Even answering phone calls from recruiters is not a thing I care about and that is quite literally the only incoming calls on this thing. Everything else I do with either my laptop or my desktop. Typing on a phone is not a thing for me either. Endlessly frustrating for me to use touch screen keyboards. It's an output only device. All the input modes are mediocre and tedious and I have no patience for them.

So, I've been carrying a cheap Nokia Android phone since 2018 and it's the best phone I've owned in recent years. It no longer receives security updates because of Google basically twisting people's arms to buy their new but hardly improved versions of the same shit they've been shipping since 2008 that I've owned before. Other than that it's fine. Battery lasts me two days; even more than three years in. And after having owned a few Nexus phones, I don't trust Google to deliver a device that will actually last as long as my Nokia has. Best phone I've had since I actually worked for Nokia when it did not license the brand to a generic Android phone manufacturer.

So, not really eager to buy a Pixel phone. I'll probably buy another Nokia when I need to. The Nokia X20 looks pretty good to me. 5G and using it as a dumb modem would be the big headline feature for me.
> Perhaps version control is actually the weak point of the textual edifice, where we might be able to win a battle.

It would be interesting because as the paper says textual editing has great deployment and collaboration tooling. So if non textual could get a foothold in that exact area — git — it could draw a ton of people who just want to get things shipped.
Fable is a brilliant project.

It doesn't try to hide the fact that when you write a Fable program, you're fundamentally in the JS ecosystem. This can be a bit of a shift if you're used to doing stuff in .NET, but it means that everything will more or less work with your code.

It also comes with a few tools/utilities to ease the F#-JS bridge you're on.
"We're sorry. We f'd up." They did something similar with the Mac Pro, didn't they? I don't particularly care.
And you can be pretty sure that the M1 Pro/Max will be great because it's mostly just more CPU cores, more GPU cores, and maybe a few extra features.

You could probably work out its likely benchmark results on paper within some small margin of error.
The answer for successfully applying VCS to higher-dimensional spaces will demand more mathematically-elegant intermediate representations. Most source code files are highly structured by default. Image files are mostly feasible to diff as-is. Typical 3d models, not so much. 3d models with animation, even less so.

To be clear - the problem isn't that we cant detect a difference, it's that we cannot produce a useful view of the difference such that a human can make an informed decision. With images/audio/code, you can still extract useful knowledge as long as you know the shape of the difference relative to the whole, even if the difference itself is a meaningless mesh of colors between 2 image files.

Writing a useful diff engine for 3d models represented using constructive solid geometry would probably be substantially easier than with other approaches. I don't know if CSG is actually constrained to 3 dimensions either... I feel like GitHub actually tried to do something like this but I don't know if it went very far.
>Your garden variety web developer will not be building algorithms from scratch virtually ever.

Web developers like this are those that introduce O(n^2) complexity in places where it could be done in O(n), which makes for poor application performance. Sure, they aren't writing algorithms per se, but their lack of knowledge of algorithms still tends to create problems not-that-rarely (assuming the product is above certain size and complexity).

Also, what constitutes a "basic algorithm" is pretty vague. I've seen quite a few people interviewing who couldn't solve fizzbuzz. Until that moment, every time i heard about people not being able to solve fizzbuzz, I though it was an exaggerated joke to describe someone incompetent , but nope, plenty of people legitimately don't know how to solve it.

I don't think fizzbuzz could even be legitimately called an "algorithmic" problem, but no matter what, if you cannot just do a trivial for loop and a couple of if-elif-else checks, you are not qualified, algorithms or not. And there is no quicker way to filter those people out at the initial stage than a simple whiteboard problem.
> It's totally possible for us to observe non-determinism within a simulation

You can never really observe non-determinism. All you can say is that there is no observable determinism; you can never exclude the possibility of hidden patterns you aren’t smart enough to notice. Maybe our observations are totally deterministic but we will never be able to know because the determinism is computationally intractable, or depends on variables we cannot observe

Arguments from QM, such as Bell’s theorem, are sometimes presented as disproving hidden determinism: but, at best, only disprove local determinism, and leave the possibility of non-local determinism entirely intact; and when one considers the possibility of “superdeterminism” (that the observer’s choices of what observations to make are determined by the same determinism as the system being observed) maybe don’t even do that
Yeah, I blame it on version 5 (and dotnet) and the overall tooling improvements. It has really become an excellent and easy to pick up language, with not too many warts and a very good ecosystem.

Reversing the distribution only sounds logical if you reduce your sample to this one instance and ignore the entire history of product marketing. Which is convenient for some people, and totally bonkers for anyone who isn’t CW&H.

Having to squint to find anyone who even remotely resembles you is the lived experience of millions of people. Perhaps you should reflect on why you can’t relate to people in an ad that look different from you? It’s a skill that someone of us don’t have the luxury of not developing.
> What are you going to do when you are 10 hours from home and hit your maximum allowed to drive time?

Uhh... keep driving home because HOS regulations don't apply when you're off duty? https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-service/personal...

"The following are examples of appropriate uses of a CMV while off-duty for personal conveyance ... Commuting between the driver’s terminal and his or her residence ... Authorized use of a CMV to travel home after working at an offsite location"

Although frankly the answer is "stop somewhere and sleep because your trip is too long to do in a single day" and I'm not sure why you think that somehow that's too much of an inconvenience for them.

I've got the M1 Macbook Pro, 16 GB RAM and 2 TB hard drive, and do 95% software development and 5% photoshop, related to web development, so I'm not dealing with massive files with a ton of layers.

I'd say that this is more than enough power to hold me off from upgrading for the next few years, so fortunately for you I'd say if you can, the RAM upgrade may be more important than the actual CPU upgrade.
To put another analogy down, it's a coupling issue. Nobody wants to hammer in a nail and then buy a new hammer for a slightly different nail.
If the world is on fire 80 years from now, I kind of don't blame the survivors for deciding to hide all the dangerous learning from the time that nearly destroyed the world.

I don't agree with it but there's a possibility that particular fantasy/scifi scenario will come to pass. As a young person during the Cold War, I was not particularly enamored of technology due to the fear of nuclear destruction, the environmental destruction all around me, and the prevalence of suburbs.
I think that sounds like a great idea. But I just don't understand why you were so invested in GNOME adopting them when it seems clear that they weren't really that interested, and now it seems like it actually doesn't even matter to you? I'm sure you know not to "put all your eggs in one basket" as it were.

I hate the trend that the "pro" versions of all these flagship phones need to be an XL Phablet monstrosity. Human hands haven't gotten any bigger. I have owned most of the Nexus & Pixel phones throughout the years. After having the Nexus 6 as my daily driver for 2 years, I have always opted for the smaller option ever since.

I would totally pay flagship prices for a regular ~5.5-6" phone with flagship specs, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Make it 50% thicker if there are space/heat concerns, but making it wider and taller just makes it super difficult to use consistently with one hand. I also say this as somebody with larger-than-average hands!
They also send billions overseas as opposed to Americans who spend their money in country.

Its a complex situation filled with lies of omission.
Evaluating someone's eye for glasses can be done entirely by machine as can manufacturing the glasses themselves. I do not understand why we still force people to spend 5-10 minutes sitting in a chair in a dark room going "better....no...worse...better..."

Milk seems like a great host for lots of organisms, I don't envy the work cheese makers have to put it to get the right kinds of microorganisms established first. Beer is easy, b/c s. cerevisiae out competes everything in a high glucose environment.

Although is seems like kefir cultures contain s. cerevisiae sometimes. There must be some yeast/bacteria that converts lactose to another sugar in there as well.

Maybe I'm biased, but I'm often skeptical of the benefits of projects like this that translate a language which normally targets runtime A, into another language that targets a wildly different runtime B (usually JS or WASM)

(Disclaimer that I'm not talking about compiling runtime-less languages for different platforms)

It just seems like it's going to be a very leaky abstraction, like there will be tons of corner cases where some behavior isn't exactly the same and other behavior isn't quite possible, which will cause libraries and in-house code alike to break in weird ways. I know that ClojureScript, for example, has several caveats relative to Clojure; and most of these translators are not nearly as mainstream (and so don't get nearly as much maintenance attention) as ClojureScript does. And then there's the messy question of interacting with the host system, dropping down into the host language for certain things, etc.

I haven't really worked with these kinds of systems so I may be way off, but from the outside it seems like a huge increase in complexity just so you get to stay in a familiar language
If that were productive they would (and have) already done so.

Thought you started out sarcastic, then realized you might not be sarcastic.

Amazing that people went from "we need all colors represented in ads as best as possible" which was completely reasonable, to "maybe we don't need white people in ads at all sometimes, ok? maybe it's a good thing!" which is objectively an absurd stance.

It’s a high end computer with high end specs. Apple makes lower end computers that are cheaper. They’re not going for the bottom of the market, so you’ll always be able to find a cheaper PC. What’s the complaint? Options are good.
Yes, can confirm, such cameras exist in Serbia and generate electronic tickets available to the vehicle owner on a government website if the calculated average speed is above allowed.
These would be more interesting if he used them to steelman his outgroups arguments instead of writing a system of tropes as an ideological immune system for his less thoughtful allies. The resistence to evidence in a conspiracy theory he identifies is a useful rule, but it's mainly just the artifact of any ideology (the logic of an idea) whereby the iteration of the idea substitutes itself for experience.

The main question I really care about the answer to anymore is whether or not a person believes in truth. It's divisive, but very efficient in determining the weight one can assign to an opinion.
I'm going through this right now. I know I probably need a cpap machine, so paying $300 out of pocket to rent a stupid device to record my sleep seems like a waste.

While that is how unemployment insurance works, it is only temporary. Unemployed in the statistical sense means actively looking for work or on unemployment while in common parlance it refers to any person not currently employed. The costs of persons who are capable of being employed but are not come at great expense to the taxpayer. Foodstamps, housing assistance, healthcare and a myriad of other programs. It is far preferable to have as many citizens in the labor force as is reasonably possible.

As long as Gtk refuses to support this, I can fix KDE, but I can't fix Java or browsers.

Java, Firefox and Chrome reject patches, saying Gnome is responsible. Gnome says they don't care.

And I don't want to run custom builds of Firefox and Java anymore. It was such a hassle constantly building them from source with my old patchset.
Right, but that "supercooled water" can only make such a reaction because, thermodynamically speaking, someone intentionally injected energy into it without changing its state, thus enabling the reaction to occur within the bounds of the energy delta created, and ending when that ends.

I do not see how a molecule could be stable in some condition, and then when making contact with something else, result in nothing other than a cascading state-change of that other. It doesn't make sense.

That's actually really interesting. I wonder if there has been any research around this preferred marketing race phenomenon. It's interesting that an asian country would show preference for whites, while a white country shows preference for non-whites.
