I would prefer they not "improve", especially so in order to sell donations.

Wikipedia has largely stayed the same since its inception and that is part of its power. So many things have "improved" themselves into irrelevance, or wasted enormous amounts of resources changing things that don't need change.

There is a deep pit of improving things to satisfy the loudest people who "want" and not realizing until far too late that you're optimizing to a loud majority while your overall appeal shrinks to nothing. (Think of it like a grocery store dropping the least popular half of its products every few months... eventually they'd be left with light beer and ketchup confused about why nobody comes by any more)
OTOH, I'd prefer pop-tarts if they were just frosting and crust with no filling at all. The one end where the frosting runs almost to the edge (I assume as an artifact of how it's applied) so you get just crust and frosting, is the best part of a pop tart.
I checked several calculators and it seems about right. To be completely honest I would have imagined that the price would have been much higher. Then again the Rolling Stones are at the top of my list so I am likely incredibly biased.
Fascinating. If I understand correctly, you are saying that you buy paid advertising for academic papers that you have authored, is that right? Can you please elaborate? e.g. what platforms do you use, which keywords / audiences are you targeting?
Journalists diagnosing someone and proposing new treatments seems a bit outside their skillset.
I guess it depends on how you define winner. If you measure winning primarily by social status or money, sure. But one of the main points of the book is to illustrating the costs of all that "winning".

There was one quote from the book of a high-achieving mother who, due to long hours, only got to spend 20 minutes a day with her child but "wouldn't give up those 20 minutes for the world."

If you're someone who values close human relationships, I don't know if I'd call that "winning".
sure but in the opposite direction.
>there's not a clearly agreed upon threshold of how much national identity must be shared to qualify as a nation-state

The best place to draw the line is Texas. More national identity than Texas and you're a nation-state, less and you're a state. The nationality of Texas is undefined in this scheme, which is just as they would have it.

P.S. people call extremely well-funded cybersecurity adversaries "nation-state adversaries" because those three words start with the letters NSA. It's a joke about US national security being the greatest threat to US private security.
Ah yes, Geforce Experience. You mean the bloatware Nvidia makes you create an account for just to install their drivers?

On Linux I simply type pacman -S nvidia to install the drivers on my system. Reboot and it's done.

There is even a GUI to install packages, since that seems like it's important for you.
We are talking about fractions, not crystaline structures. The problem is that people forget their high school math very quickly when they stop using it. Many of us keep using it everyday.
Well false claims of reach should be useless ideally, let me walk you through an example with a banner ad.

If I claim your ad on my website reaches 10,000 people but only 1000 click it then my 10,000 reach only has a clickthrough rate of 10 percent, so even I lie to someone else and say it has a reach of 100,000 but the same 1000 click then it will only have a 1 percent clickthrough rate. So the ultimate metric can not be fooled , maybe for a few months sure but I`ll be found out , in a perfect/rational world lol.

Her handle is called "RealSexyCyborg" and she's reviewing gaming tech in a bikini. I'm pretty sure it was a deliberate trade-off on her side to present herself like this.

Reimagining Blizzcon
The 2016 wasn't leadership, it was Johnny Ive without Steve Jobs bringing him back to reality.

Touch Bar? This was nothing more than adding expense to raise the ASP (Average Selling Price) of Macbooks, that had fallen precipitously low from a shareholder perspective because of the superb value-for-money proposition that was the 13" Macbook Air.

The butterfly keyboard was Ive shaving off 0.5mm of the width for a worse user experience with a higher production cost and less reliability.

USB-C only was a philosophical move rather than a practical one that forced people everywhere to carry dongles. The USB-C cable situation was and continues to be a nightmare as different cables support different subsets of data, power and video and, worse yet, different versions of each of those. Worst of all, it was the loss of the much-beloved MagSafe. Also, the ports weren't all the same. You were better off charging from the right (IIRC) rather than the left.

Replaceable RAM and SSD being lost is still painful. Personally I don't believe this was about forcing users to pay for upgrades primarily. It was about shaving off a small amount of volume.

Ive is gone and every one of those decisions has been reversed or at least significantly amended. This is no accident.
Motion and color amplification from wu et Al are underused in my opinion. Maybe because under patent?
The main thing I use Exa for is as a better "tree":

et() { exa -alT --git -I'.git|node_modules|.mypy_cache|.pytest_cache|.venv' --color=always "$@" | less -R; }
alias et1='et -L1'
alias et2='et -L2'
alias et3='et -L3'

Exa is great for this because it shows file details along with the tree hierarchy.

(I have to manually specify a bunch of git-ignores because Exa's git ignore support doesn't work properly.)
> The price seems to be the main barrier to EV adoption IMO, and is probably the reason they are so rare where I live (it's a major metropolitan area, and yet so far I have seen a non-rail EV only once).

If you live on an area with electrified rail transit (which is where we ought to be going) but effectively no EVs that's surprising. Where is this?

Today, the price of EVs has dropped to within comfortable reach of middle to upper middle class people, who are most of the people who buy new cars anyways (the lower middle and working class are much more likely to buy used).

The bigger issue is cultural - with some areas (US coastal states and cosmopolitan cities, cosmopolitan parts of Europe, etc) being far further along in the cultural adoption of EVs.

This is changing though. On a recent trip to Michigan I saw a significant rise in EVs (I'm more well off areas) vs the not distant past and I suspect this is because Detroit automakers finally have solid EV offerings.

EVs, like smartphones, are now aspirational goods.
Shitting on academia is certainly one of them, but lets look at the merit of each comment for themselves.

As someone with a lot of friends in academia, but luckily not dependent on it myself, I was quite shocked by the amount of politics, polishing, neck rubbing etc. going on. Scientists present as very clean and orderly to the outside, but the process of writing a paper and getting it published is usually super messy.
> I don't claim that Elixir is the language to end all languages.

i don't know much elixir. i was asking because those things interest me and they are what drove me to common lisp. for my purposes i need an industrial fast interactive language that is self hosted and well tested in the wild. i want a fast language that is well suited to make custom symbolic computer algebra procedures, custom differential algorithms, custom probabilistic programs, and custom data processing solutions. i think that common lisp best fits the criteria for my use case
Still defaults to the unreadable multicolumn view. Yuck! Why is this the default in ls? Why would anyone keep this awful default in another tool? It's so heinous.
Who exactly are you an ally to? Certainly not "marginalized groups", as you create them.

You refer to "that regulation", as opposed to referring to the entire body of legislation that is relevant. So many weasel words and specious arguments in so few(?) characters.
No there isn't. England has been mostly doing the same as neighbouring countries so far.

It hasn't implemented COVID passes yet because they're pointless. As BoJo pointed out just a few days ago, the pass is meaningless. Vaccinated people get infected and pass it on, and do so at the same rate as unvaccinated people (actually a higher rate in the UK at the moment).
A band I used to play with recorded/mixed five songs with a fairly reputable producer (he produced Avenged Sevenfold and several other national US acts), and the cost came out to be about $2,000/song (2015). We also had all of our songs fully written out, and everyone knew their part, so the procuder really only tweaked things. However, for the amount of time we got with the producer/studio, it seemed like a bargain to me.

Recording/mixing just varies incredibly widely, and it varies by reputation of the producer, how much time, effort they put into your song, time in studio, things like that. That being said, ~$40k seems REALLY high to me (but I suppose if you are an act like the Rolling Stones, that is comparitively low).
You are genuinely curious, huh? What kind of data would you accept then? Or alternatively, how about you show me some data that refutes my point?

But a manager dumping those feelings on their developers is still toxic. They are coming from a position of power, asks the technologist to solve a problem, all the while demanding the technologist assures the manager that the technologist will do the job and that now the technologist will ask questions so the technologist can perform the job well instead of just wasting the managers precious time.

I don't see how anyone can think this situation isn't toxic.

It's not incredible. Many operations such as creating a new process and accessing a file, which are done thousands or millions of times when you compile an application, are much, much slower on Windows than on Linux. That time adds up.

It would be an improvement if swapping batteries on a 2015 MBP required removing the logic board, which it doesn’t.

As to expertise: you just need to remove a few screws and then the power connector, its not difficult just tedious.
To summarize: the MBP no longer has a “hard disk”.

It has flash memory that is coupled with the SoC.

This is to make the memory bottleneck tolerable (considering the cpu and ram move 400GB/s)

One of the problems with Phoronix benchmarks is that they don’t even try to build software properly, making sure it’s not using suboptimal flags and doesn’t artificially prefer one particular environment. One needs to take those results with a grain of salt.

Then pop-tarts would just add some misleadingly similar but not technically wrong crap to theirs, like "100% pure natural syrup" on bottles that are definitely intended to trick you into thinking they're maple syrup, but aren't, which is a thing I've seen in the wild (Cracker Barrel syrup).

Food labelling laws need an overhaul. And some serious teeth.
Wow, I was under the impression that atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) was extremely inefficient. I don't have any numbers but things like [1][2] seem to indicate that AWH is currently not very useful.

The paper doesn't seem to (if I read it correctly) actually address this directly, instead it talks about how much energy is needed to extract water at different relative humidity levels and factors in the potential energy generated through solar panels. It also looks at the usefulness of this process given factors such as existing access to clean water (or lack thereof) and population. I didn't looking beyond the 'Methods' section, I hope I didn't miss anything here.

I came here to say exactly this. Ligatures make a -huge- difference to me, please offer some example text that makes use of them.

Awesome idea, though!
Btw, you might not have realized but the article was talking about a manager going with a request to developers. So it is absolutely the managers fault here, nothing you say can convince me otherwise, a manager shouldn't demand this from developers.
This is an interesting (and ethical) way for Wikimedia to finance their operations. I have to say I find it funny that back in the days teachers told us not to use Wikipedia and now we’ll have large corporations paying to train their algos using their data. And then those algos will decide whether you get a loan or not, your insurance premiums, and much more.
This is a really oblique response. Could you be more explicit about what "not-actually-true "truths"" you're referring to?

As for conspiracy theories as a whole: I'm not necessarily sure I want them to go away. Conspiracies are sometimes real, so it stands to reason that societies should tolerate some amount of conspiracy theorizing. I think the larger risk is the blurring of conspiracy theory and conspiracy culture, the latter being closer to the cult dynamics that we see with groups like QAnon.
> Biggest bummer of CouchDB? If you’re not hosting it yourself, there’s only one major player in the market that I know of: IBM Cloudant.

That's the biggest problem my projects using Pouch/Couch are facing. The tech choice was made when Cloudant still had Azure datacenter support and IBM's multiple confusing changes to their Cloud brands has put it in a situation we aren't entirely happy with and I keep getting asked/pressure if I can move things back to Azure datacenters.

I don't know what I'm going to replace it with and I still wish Azure CosmosDB was more friendly to Couch replication. (It's so close, especially its Changes feed, I feel that the proxy I need probably doesn't need to do all that much I just don't think I have the budget/time to build and test such a proxy.)
You're talking about Arch Linux there though which definitely isn't for the average user, and again you're needing to use the terminal.

I'm very competent at using the terminal myself and have installed Arch Linux from the base image before but it's not exactly user friendly.

As I mentioned before though, Windows does install some quite recent NVIDIA drivers automatically via Windows Update. And if you don't want to use GFE, you can just go to the NVIDIA website and install the latest drivers that way.
I was going to say that they may have been talking about the 2016 revision (g4 / touchbar) with that quote and maybe the retinas (g3) were not that bad.

But I went to check the battery replacement guide for the 2015 and…: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Disp...

> Steps 74

> Time Required 2 - 3 hours

However according to the comments the ifixit people were playing it very safe, most of the steps in the first half are not entirely necessary and the procedure can be completed in about an hour.
I wouldn't call it as easily repairable as frame.work - frame.work doesn't use those glue white strips instead they just have few screws and you can remove such battery without struggle.

I once changed battery in my old iphone SE and it's a real pain if such white strips break - and they are sooo thin that it's really easy to break. Once it breaks you have to use heat gun and fishing line as improvised saw to cut battery from the case.

BTW My old macbook 15'' pro 2012 unibody had only screws and easily removable battery
> There are, in fact, a few things that windows does better straight out of the box than most linux distributions. Multiple monitors, high res monitors, printers, gaming and Bluetooth come to mind.

This hasn't been my experience. Printers and gaming are the only two on this list that I think Windows does better out-of-the-box. There is one thing missing from this list that I think Windows does better, and that's power management (suspend/resume) for laptops.

Other than printers, I would say Linux generally performs worse on these things because the companies making the printers, games, and laptops don't support Linux. Printer manufacturers don't support Linux that well, but I also think printer handling on Linux is not as good even when it is supported.

That statement says the strawberries are 100% real, it does nothing to exclude the addition of other ingredients or artificial red flavoring added elsewhere.

You may think I'm being asinine, but I'm not. I've been fooled by that language before.
I feel that, on the ports and touchbar side, this was a step backwards. The SD slot is a good thing, but the replacement of one USB-C with a (vintage) HDMI port and the addition of a proprietary power connector is a leap backwards in time.

The Touchbar was my daughter's favorite - an Emoji keyboard. It also did a lot more - bringing up manpages in the terminal, having app-specific buttons (no need to hunt down the Zoom window to mute). People wanted an ESC key and they got it eventually. I couldn't care less about function keys. I get it was very expensive for the little if offered, but, still, it's still useful. More useful than F1 to F12 ever were.

Magsafe is nice from a safety standpoint (I have a kid and work from the couch sometimes), but with all-day battery life, what is the use of it? On my desk, the Mac is plugged into power, two external monitors, ethernet, keyboard and trackpad with a single cable, as God intended it to be. That's 3 free USB-C connectors for anything else (such as the external storage) and there is one power brick that lives in my backpack along a pair of US/EU adapters for when I need to travel. With USB-C power, it was nice to have the Dell and the Mac sharing power bricks when needed (if I said that 10 years ago, I would laugh myself out of the room)

I like the replaceable battery, but I miss the touchbar and actively dislike the reintroduction of Magsafe.

> So have VCC -> res -> LED -> µC and turn the LED on by writing a 0 to the GPIO.

For turning the LED off the obvious way is to write a 1 to the GPIO. But check the documentation for your processor. On many another way to turn the LED off is to change that GPIO from an output to an input.

With the LED off you should have very little current through the GPIO but there usually is a little, and I believe that on some processors the "change it to an input" method will have a little less current.

It probably won't be a big difference but when you are trying to squeeze as much runtime as you can out of a battery it can be worth it.
Pretty slow render times. Is this using Phx?
I mean there's also plenty of other options, like the parts didn't fundamentally work and it's easier to just forget about it and write a new article than risk another media blowup by bringing a Twitter personality into a story that's not really about her?

I replaced one of the (honestly I don't know what to call them... gumstick sized ssd?) in a MacBook that had it as a separate component and it was a bad idea. It required an adapter board, some large proportion of available products on the market weren't compatible, and even with one that was there was still occasional strange behavior. Soldering in was the least of the problems.
