Why is it that MacOS feels more and more like Windows did 10 years ago? Slower, bloatier, buggier. In 2015, I used to go months between reboots on my MacBook Pro. In 2021, I seem to have to reboot my M1 mini at least once a week.
>the potential negative influence of Facebook and complete lack of privacy is certainly becoming something of common knowledge, and yet people continue to use it

People using something that you think has a bad influence on them does not mean it's an addiction. They are simply making a different choice than you have made.

You can't (or, shouldn't, I suppose) make something illegal purely because you don't like that people use it.

Thank You. Well put.

My attempt to turn it into something short enough for my brain would be:

Secrecy is where they don't know anything about you. (And that is long gone)

Privacy is where they know everything about you, but are not allowed to exploit you. (And that is the fight for the next decade)

Progess is where they know everything about you, and can assist you in your best interests. (that's my conjecture)
> Saving 10k is unbelievably difficult unless you're making extremely good money to the point where it's out of reach for the majority of Americans. Most Americans can't even stomach a $500 emergency [0] so I don't know where you think these people can work such that they can have 10k set aside after six months.

I have contradictory anecdata on this. Two modifications to your premises, though:

- I did it all in the US, in an "expensive" area (Austin)

- For me, it was closer to 7 months of saving, but it was also closer to a year off than half a year (between 10 and 11 months, rather than 6)

Some more facts behind these numbers:

- I went out to eat during this 10.5 + 7 month period about as frequently as (probably more than) a normal household in 1970 would have, which is to say not often but also a not number that is zero, and I also splurged on craft beer and (cheap) wine and convenient/tasty food and unhealthy snacks from the store often enough

- There was no inherited property or parents' money or someone else otherwise taking care of me or any other tricks up my sleeve involved here (all different types of safety nets that I just didn't not use but that don't exist, so I wouldn't have been able to use it even if I wanted to)

- I was single during this time (so no "other half" to subsidize expenses)

- I cancelled my car insurance a few months into lockdown and was at the disadvantage of doing all this with no car

- I rent, and I have roommates, but I cover my share (I'm usually subsidizing e.g. their utility usage)

Saving 10k was difficult, but I was also bleeding money for other reasons during this time of savings, so anyone not subject to the circumstances I was in should actually be able to fare better. I also wasn't making "extremely good money". The I-hate-my-job company I was at hires for some-college experience to do monotonous, stressful work at <$20/hr. That's less than $45k per year, which is greater than your individual contribution to your half of the gross national average, assuming a two-person household, but it's nowhere close to even being a six figure job, let alone $200k or $500k.

I agree with everything in your final paragraph.
They could still apply a tiny patch and then checksum the whole thing, surely?

The tendency to focus more on diversity hiring than competency? At least this is what I see on massive scale in all the companies I am working with.
This is actually the biggest thing keeping this line of treatment from being the preference, but when it comes to reversible vs irreversible MAOIs the dietary interactions are actually not a concern![1] It was actually my first comment when I was told about this, but as it turns out you're more looking at potential drug interactions with the reversible MAOIs. The dietary interactions definitely stand with the irreversible MAOIs in the first generation antidepressants, which I think are generally reserved these days for really serious depression cases that don't respond to other treatment, or parkinsons like symptoms, or people going on jungle treks to drink shaman brews. I think the benefit of treatment kicking in immediately is really key as well, 2 weeks is a long time to wait for a drug to work when you're potentially on the brink of suicide.

A lot of that is the work philosophy. Ideally you'd work at exactly the speed that seems appropriate, on an appropriate schedule.

But so many of the jobs require you to work faster than you should and longer than you should even if you're tired. I even had a boss tell me once that my work was too good therefore I was working too slow. They really want you to just thrash it out like a maniac. Which is exhausting and dangerous. Really takes the fun out.

I've also had sane bosses who knew what's sane. And now I'm my own boss and I keep a very sane schedule.
Nope, I have the last 16" Intel MBP and Chrome chugs along just fine for days and weeks on end. I pretty much only close it for Chrome prompted app updates or macOS prompted system updates.

I would say that everyone knows this, but that simply isn’t the case. The vast majority don’t know that mainstream media are just mouth pieces for whatever message that needs to be distributed. More often it’s what message shouldn’t be distributed.

Aren’t the major media and news outlets owned by only handful of people? They won’t dare risk pissing off the government.
I always assumed this was propaganda, and that it can’t possibly have been real. But I see people talking in the comments like it isn’t fake. What’s the modern consensus?

Has anyone done a thorough investigation?

If it’s real, have there been similar experiments? This can’t be the only one.
I would love to learn a little more here. So for 30 second tail latency cases, doesn't Ruby HTTP client support a timeout with cancellation? The only useful case where I believe Async Ruby can help is the parallel requests cases.

I think it is because of the Applicant Tracking Systems. They scan for keywords and if you have them your resume gets better ranking. The actual recruiter is working only from resumes that the ATS recommends.

One of the biggest ones is you can use any web technology, and even plain React. Most React development actually happens with react-dom today so you can bring those apps and that code to mobile through Capacitor.

Ultimately Capacitor is the most true to web development of the alternatives out there, so if that matters to you it’ll be better on that front.

It’s also a lot simpler than RN and feedback has been there’s a lot less upgrade hell with Capacitor
I don't consider text a weak medium, but would contend that the strength of the medium is its efficacy in conveying a portrayed concept.

In that sense, text is a strong medium for certain things (like a dataset) and bad for others (like conveying the beauty of a camera pan within a movie that conveys a miniature story).

I've noticed that fanboyism of old AND new technologies is often only grabbing half of the story. We still use "obsolete" technologies, since none of them ever become completely bereft of potential purpose with the development of new technologies, even when they become hipster-niche-chic. Horses or tape storage, for example.

Tangential to this thread, I listened to Carmacks keynote[0] for the Facebook Connect event, and it’s very refreshing to hear him push back, in ways that just make sense , instead of towing some corporate line that’s part fantasy and snake oil.

You've been down-voted, but you're absolutely correct in some situations.

Sure, answering those questions with "this is a great opportunity to learn how to read the documentation" is the "right" response.

But I think we've all experienced the frustration of trying to write something in a language we don't use every day, and 'wasting' our time looking up simple things ("okay, what's the exact syntax of a for-loop in this language again?") that just adds friction when we're trying to solve a problem. There's a reason programmers complain so much about being interrupted.

Part of being a good teacher is being able to make those points of friction disappear and enable your students to "get it" and experience the joy of solving a problem.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. How many kids would play football/soccer if you were only allowed to play a match with regulation numbers of players on each side, and stopping play every time someone didn't have 'perfect' form?

Agreed. Not all, but many companies that are very large use automated systems for screening resumes. Any FAANG listed in a resume will certainly get flagged by a system.
Untitled Static Site Generator
An Android phone is primarily a device for media consumption and the collection of your personal data, but it can be tricked into being more than that. Without rooting it you can install a terminal and use it to learn some perl or python. There's no reason why you couldn't do that with an iphone except Apple not wanting you to. The capabilities are there, but it's not what those devices are for any more than a toaster is a gaming PC just because you can hack it enough to get Doom to run. If someone is going to develop creativity and tech skills using a smartphone it'll be despite their device not because of it.

It’s negotiated so if the base station, or the attacker pretending to be the base station, tells the handset to not use encryption, it won’t.
that's an odd and quite uncharitable interpretation. there's not even a remote connection to (restricting) freedom of association, much less with my own hands (how would that even work?).

the underlying point is that money isn't the be-all-and-end-all of what we value and what we exchange in our socioeconomic lives. money collapses a multidimensional social calculus into a single-dimensional metric, with all the undesirable consequences of that kind of collapse. hoarding wealth is selfish, but it's worse when it also hoards power and esteem along with it.

not many wealthy people deserve respect (or power) along with their riches. people who make stuff with their hands and brains, not passively through wealth (e.g., rents), deserve esteem. that's the point.
> I think popular applications should be included with OS reliability because in your day to day these are the tools you use.

I think you're understating it. The point of the OS is to run applications; if running applications doesn't work, the system is probably insufficient.
You would be flushing most of the value proposition of macOS down the drain. You wouldn’t get any cross-platform features (iMessage, iCloud, photos, FaceTime, calendar etc etc) and you wouldn’t have access to the App Store. The biggest reason I see to use a Mac is that it’s part of the Apple ‘ecosystem’. You might as well grab something you can run Linux on, you’ll save money and keep your privacy.
There's a lot of knowledge hidden in plain sight: it's accessible, and therefore known, and therefore people don't read through and learn it.

If it were hidden and secret, maybe people would take it more seriously.

what makes you think they’re not still doing experiments like this?
The midi out port provides a small current (a few mA) that is used only to drive the photocoupler at the receiver side (per MIDI specifications, transmitter and receiver have to be electrically insulated). It doesn't and can't supply anything else, although in the past some manufacturers produced little out-of-standard devices that took their supply from the MIDI signal, but they were mostly marketing gimmicks.

Moreover, MIDI is a digital signal which doesn't carry any status about the media it travels through; I mean, 10 seconds of nobody playing would appear identical to 10 seconds after a pulled cable.

But there is also automation that helps with a lot of tasks that are no longer required to be done manually. I don't have any expertise in ships, but I can give the example of airline aircrafts: 50 years ago you had 4 people in the cockpit (pilot, copilot, navigator, mechanic), then 3 and now just 2 (pilot + copilot) and some companies are toying with the idea (that I don't like at all) to reduce to a single person. From 4 to 2 or from 4 to 1 is possible due to automation. I think it is similar with ships.

I'm sorry but this comment rings very hollow to me. I have seen this "hypothetically they could have done more" type of sentiment repeated so much on HN and it's not helpful nor is it a meaningful criticism of Google. Every browser has some non-standard features. That isn't new, Google isn't the first one to do it, they certainly won't be the last. Do they have a choice to not do that? Sure, but nobody chooses to do it because it makes it harder to actually iterate on things. The "behavior" is widespread and every vendor is already making excuses for it.

There is a real problem here and it's absolutely related to the fact that Google is only incentivized to develop/test on their own browser, but that's really orthogonal to other browsers being slow or not being able to improve performance of a polyfill.
Also still used in (some formulations) of race gas.

The answer is nuanced because a good chunk of your app is just your web app, so you use standard build/dev tools there. For the native side, Capacitor probably has the least amount of abstraction over native compared to Xamarin or RN, it’s quite a bit simpler than both of those. We have some CLI commands to run your app locally but otherwise you just use Xcode or Android Studio directly, no need for a lot of custom brittle tooling
I've heard of people stuffing non-human readable keywords (tiny font, white text, etc.) to bypass the automated systems

Did the author think that recruiters would carefully peruse every single inbound resume? That they would manually construct individualized emails? That people in tech companies don't optimize their workflows using automated tools? Gasp! What did they expect?
