Wish someone told me before I got $300,000 into debt that my liberal arts degree wasn't going to help me get employment. My university was certainly not up front about that. And if they had been honest about the fact that the degree was worth fuckall in the job market I would have not wasted my money there.
If any apple product managers are reading this, the biggest thing holding MacOS back is that it global searches when you search a folder. I know there's a config setting for it, but dammit I want the default to be local file name search and full text search should be an off-by-default option, and search the whole hard drive should be a different also off by default option.
I have nothing against charity, but isn't that just charity under a different description?
Have you found a consistent way to get color schemes working for vim/tmux when running over mosh?

Haven’t tried mosh in a while but this was my biggest gripe, over what is otherwise an amazing mobile experience.
i have a systemd cron job (timer) that runs miniupnpc every couple minutes to ask the router to set up firewall rules that a box needs. for now i still manually update my home's dns records whenever there's a power outage and therefore new ip address. but i'll be building something dor dynamic dns soon enough.

but a couple boxes also ssh into a vps, and forward their own ssh ports to the vps, so i can jump into them indirectly if the main door/direct ssh way isnt working. this is also an ok way to expose ports on the internet if i want them proxied, if i need rate limiting.
Not spending millions of dollars to appease people who are disproportionately upset over such a minor thing as missing accent marks is sheer laziness to you?

> (...) but it seems to me like the overall System is perfectly capable of correcting itself when people succumb to "misinformation" to the point it harms them.

For this hypothesis to be valid, you'd require a population which:

a) had decent critical thinking,

b) consumed reliable information from reliable sources,

c) wasn't targeted by bad actors who hijack information channels to saturate it with disinformation,

d) wasn't radicalized to the point where even basic health and safety precautions are attacked as being partisan politics.

What we have been seeing for the past year or so is that the system is unable to self-correct if attacked hard enough. Also, we also that the system indeed has some capacity to self-heal if the volume of disinformation is actively tuned down.
Wait until we start to reach 2038, it's going to be either awesome or an epic shitshow
Has anyone ever figured this out? It doesn't make it clear at all on the site. As someone who listens to spotify almost all day during working hours, I wonder how much this would cost me compared to the $5/month or whatever I pay now. I'm fine paying more if it goes to the artist, but for goodness sake you need to make it clear what this thing costs.

There was a lot of plastic stamped out, and there was a round-the-clock distribution system for shipping those pieces of plastic to middle men distributors and stores before they got to you. There's a huge maintenance cost to these cloud services, but there's plenty of evidence that the environmental cost of that maintenance is much lower than the cost of those DVDs.

Is it perfect? No, I'd much rather that a county-or-state library system run the media library and have set of servers and data that were shared and archived and synced with the library of congress. It is by no means more expensive, in terms of cash, middlemen or natural resources, for digital delivery the way that's currently going on over buying DVDs.
It doesn't work very well in office environments unfortunately. I gave it a try with my work MBP and Mac Pro, and the amount of cursor judder / keyboard lag was wild. It'd also just plain not work at times. I think things are better when the environment is less busy and devices can talk to eachother over the same WiFi network (instead of WiFi direct), but it has proven to be unusable in the one scenario where I'd have liked to use it.
That's unfair, Twitter had to wrestle scaling with Rails while WhatsApp used Erlang which is a perfect match for scalable communications.

christ, I want a cool electric car more and more. but reading stuff like this all the time is just re-enforcing my decision to leave Tesla off that list of potentials.

A car is a tool I use to get my family around from point A to B SAFELY. Its also a fairly significant chunk of debt, and I want it to last a long time and behave EXACTLY the way I expect it to. Every day.

Tesla really doesn't fit that bill atm

I wouldn't call it "Low-tech" greenhouses in Spain.

One of the two Hue bars is positioned behind my head up high for adding highlights to hair, headphone, the other lights up area behind my back.

This is exactly the goal - a box that anyone could buy, plug-in, click a few buttons, and get an on-the-internet service (like PhotoPrism or Plex) ready to roll. Bonus if they can easily control access, invite friends, and also if it's totally open and hackable - as much a learning platform for technology as a plug-and-play box-for-media.

That's the vision anyways!
I think it would be so fun if Congress actually wrote the algorithm. Would the law be in Python, Java, BASIC...? Probably in pseudo-code.

For those humor-challenged among the readership, that was a joke.

Not quite a joke: it would at least show them that just saying "algorithm" doesn't remove human judgment.
iMessage still has yet to come to other platforms, and at least for a few years after the iPhone's launch, many people viewed it as a luxury product and were unlikely to spend the money to get one compared to cheaper phones (which WhatsApp supported).

Road space is currently unmetered. Parking space is also often unmetered or underpriced. Should it be the same price for everyone to drive 18-wheelers and RVs and cars and mopeds into the center of a city? Bicycles are the most efficient mode of transportation in terms of energy, except for the densest urban subways.

Cars are a local maximum of utility that doesn't require much coordination or planning. They took advantage of pre-existing public roads and then crowded out all other road users, and subsequent roads were simpler to design and plan for cars than for mixed use with other road users.

I think I agree. Strangely I don't see it hammered a lot, at least in Europe. It's usually more about lessening pressure on healthcare.

Well, on a personal level it is long Covid I fear the most (or even long term consequences of a mild covid) and yet I am uneasy about the argument that restrictions are put in place only to soften the impact of the pandemic on hospitals. It means that maybe if hospitals weren't full then our leaders wouldn't care about people getting covid ?

The 99% placement of medical schools is not a "troll", no. There is no reason it could not apply to CS.

Also note that most of the points made in contention would apply just as well to medical schools and medical school graduates. For instance, there are plenty of unsocialized medical school graduates - they are still called doctors. But if they studied STEM, they're supposedly "too bad to deserve a job". Weird.

I'm leaning more towards there being an oversupply of STEM graduates.
You may be interested to know about Costas Group in Australia. They have gone the high tech route, cramming every bit of productive technology into their greenhouses. They are an established company listed on Australia's stock exchange (ASX:CGC), so can be taken to have proved the viability of such technology. I gather their share price and the size of their profit is a bit of a roller coaster ride, but they do make a profit each year. They mention yields of 70kg/m^2/year (=50000kg/day from 65 acres). I assume that's per square metre of greenhouse and not per square meter of growing bed.

People who want to use Pages in iPad... for the sake of your life, please don't do it. It is quite... aggravating trying to move that freaking table from few cm across and it ended up 3 inches away. My forehead vein was ready to burst that day. It is not worth the experience to use it on the iPad unless for a simple essay or letter which should be fine. But if you try to go beyond that, make sure you remember to go to your happy place so often when you try.
> I wish I had a happier note to end this on, but honestly, my biggest takeaway from the whole experience is that maybe some puzzles just can’t be solved. We can try to attribute Jack’s problems to intrinsic biological/psychological issues (social phobia, migraines, etc.) or to environmental causes (super high rate of heroin use and OD in the community), but both sides seem fundamentally lacking in explanatory power. The vast majority of socially anxious people don’t resort to heroin, and despite the problems of these small towns, they are by no means among the worst places to live in America, let alone the world.

Earlier on, the author does speculate about what drove Jack:

> To put it another way, Jack was painfully aware that his future options were, “be a complete loser,” or “be a complete loser who feels really really good for a few hours every day.” He chose the latter.

What's striking about this is how it's possible to live this way without drugs. A brain-numbing job eight hours a day and a life-saving hobby for four. A toxic-family life but wonderful community.

It almost sounds like Tennis could have been this outlet:

> One time when Jack was in middle school, he walked off the tennis court after a well-played match, and his mother asked him how he felt. Jack said something like, “when I’m out there, it’s so nice… it’s like the rest of the world goes away and I don’t have any problems.”

I can imagine a few reasons for such stagnation:

- Business: there isn't a strong business need to re-think the desktop UI. There are needs on mobile and the web, but improving the classic desktop doesn't give a competitive advantage (unless you can combine it with the web and mobile, which is exactly what Apple, Google, and MS are trying to do).

- Developers: you need to attract developers to your platform too. Devs will ignore your unique features if they are not attractive enough to justify the change, and they are not cross-platform. Examples:

- Smalltalk envs are like an extremely hackable Desktop OS (eg. Squeak or Pharo). They don't use the files as the storage unit, and the technology to scale the object image existed for a long time (eg. GemStone/St). The first complaint that you'll hear about St is: "where are my files and version control?". There is no interest in the dev community to make files go away because it breaks the tools that you use every day.

- macOS has features to support version history, or conveniently handle files (eg. auto-save, rename in place, cloud support). But, those features are not cross-platform, and they are ignored by the cross-platform "pro" software: VSCode, JetBrains IDEs, Adobe Products, Figma.

These two barriers are big enough to make any improvement incremental instead of revolutionary. Both iOS and Android are different from the usual desktop UI because of the form-factor (small screen, touch, low power, etc), and the lack of legacy (but people still wanted Flash when iOS came out, and Apple had to add Files to make the interoperability easy).

Maybe the next generation "desktop" is not a classic desktop but an evolution of the web browser. The sad part is that all the new environments (iOS, iPadOS, Android, ChromeOS, SaaS apps) are extremely closed and hostile to tinker with the system.
I don't think expecting Apple to implement every single pet feature of every single power user is something that is reasonable.
Yeah, this has been one of the most disappointing things for me. No way his shtick has fooled all of them.

Pg in particular I would've expected more rigor from, but maybe that's naivete, or the inevitable awkwardness that comes from him living both in the world of high epistemic standards (his essays) and zero epistemic standards with rampant dishonesty (startup/VC culture). To me, the latter undermines the former, but I also am not a rich thought leader.
UTF-8 was first presented to IETF at Usenix in January 1993. NT 1.0 shipped June 1993 and had been in development for several years before that.

The famous "Plan 9 implemented UTF-8 first" thread's most specific date mentioned was September 1992 which only three months more lead time before the standardization notice in January 1993.

Are you suggesting the NT Kernel team should have somehow better paid attention to a not-yet-standard from a research laboratory Operating System? It still probably would have been a couple years too late in the design/architecture process even if they had, given the release data in June 1993.
Is it just me that see that something funky is going on there?

Hertz is just out of bankruptcy, and immediately they order 100,000 Tesla to be delivered, and so paid I guess, in just 1 year!

Let's imagine that they have the Tesla with a very good discount: 30000$ a piece.

That would cost them:

100 000 x 30 000 = 3 000 000 000 $

I have hard time to believe that they have that cash in hand, or that they can borrow that much!

In my opinion, this might be the long awaited event that will finally blow the bubble:

Like for Evergrande, market will discover that Hertz can't afford that, then the stock of Tesla will tank, then panic and crazy stock crash will follow.

What do you think about that?

yeah i suppose you're right, foreign intelligence operations designed to influence local politics have existed long before the internet. i think maybe the difference is, it can now be done at scale on a grassroots level at substantially reduced cost.

mix that with massive populations that are naive to common internet discussion traps and well, here we are.
>we should be able to have OSs that are Digital Assistants.

Please don't touch my OS.

>Regular users are consistently struggling with low-level concepts like 'files' and similar remnants of trying to emulate desktop metaphors from the workplaces of the 80ies.

I'm going to make argument that regular users are struggling with directory structures because of how OSes are increasingly "helpful". In DOS 2.0, it was simple: each physical disk has filesystem with tree structure, no shortcuts, no symlinks. I doubt anybody was confused by that. But let's pretend I don't know about usual quirks and see how that goes in Windows: where the hell is "Desktop"? Does everything is contained inside it? After all, "My Computer" icon is there, and clicking "dir up" in My Computer goes back to Desktop! But then, Desktop itself is contained in My Computer, so hmm... And why on Desktop there are shortcuts there that.. doesn't seem to be in Desktop directory? Ah, because they are in some magic place "C:/Users/Public/Desktop". And by the way, why it is usually called "Pulpit" (localized name in my language), but when in path it's not localized and just "Desktop"? Where my browser stores browsing history? Surely it must be in some file? Right, probably in user directory... wait, how do I open user directory? Documents folder surely must be stored inside it, so let's click "dir up" there. Uh, it went back to dreaded My Computer. Fine, I will go there manually through C:/Users/. So the browser files will be in AppData.. but it isn't here.. ah right, it is hidden for some reason. But there's still something fishy about the Documents, it doesn't behave like a normal directory. Let's see in Properties dialog, there's Location tab, so it looks like it works like shortcut to it, simple enough. Uh.. actually no, because it is part of "Libraries" mechanism, and is actually configured in AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Libraries. Documents (and other libraries) might be actually configured to squash multiple directories in their virtual view. Now, why OneDrive is another special directory, and even worse, MS Office seems to have special relationship with it? And so on and so on...

Really, it's no wonder that most regular people are confused about it.
If I understand you are talking about positions writing "though leadrship" type stuff that promotes the company's POV on some new technology and how it can help customers? I have seen these before (and I think it's often a sign a company has too much money) but if you are looking, I think some screening criteria could be newer tech that is poorly understood and needs good explanation for clients to understand how it can help (AI/quantum computing are the clichés) and the company already has bought in investors (series B+) that have given them the leeway to do some promotion.

There might be potential for some kind of nonstandard collaboration with earlier stage companies. I see (and experienc personally) earlier stage startup founders that want to better explain their ideas, but in almost all cases would end up doing it themselves because they don't have a budget for hiring a content writer and it would be a tough sell to get them to pay market rates
