Interestingly the Joro spider is invasive to Georgia now, but their ecological impact is not known. They eat an invasive species of stinkbug however that the native spiders do not eat so they may actually end up having a net positive impact on the environment despite being invasive
OSHA was created through the law, and they have the authority to change what they deem necessary whenever they want. Their decisions can be challenged in court (as this rule has been), but it’s not “executive order” per se. Congress gave the President the power to do this.

A vaccine mandate by OSHA, however, is unprecedented, and I can’t speak on how successful it’ll be and whatever unintended consequences it may have
And this is why I have completely stopped using all Apple products. I used to be a massive Mac fanboy. But the software quality is absolute shit now and has been for at least the past 5 years. I don't understand why anyone puts up with it.

This is literally the opposite of what most people claim. Does anyone else have these issues? I actually just ordered an M1 MacBook myself.

a) You need to raise an issue then with Firefox team as that isn't something that Apple is at fault for.

b) If your speakers sound bad then it could be dust or debris. Might want to unscrew your Mac and use a blower / vaccum cleaner on it.
The 286 could still run at a low enough clock speed that changing the clock frequency made sense.

On the 386 that didn't work anymore, but there was an external cache. So typically, the turbo button would disable external cache.

Then the 486 came with built-in L1 cache. And it was always way too fast. At that point the turbo button didn't make sense any more. I guess there were software solutions, but I don't recall any name.
> But databases are just magic.

100%!!!

I hate how developers talk about a "database" as a monolithic concept. It's an abstract concept with countless implementations built off of competing philosophies of that abstract concept. SQL is only slightly more concrete, but there's as many variants and special quirks of SQL dialects out there as databases.
An incredibly short sighted view of academic utility. Maxwell's work on radio waves took 30 years to be developed into a "useful output".

The purpose of scientific advancement cannot be understood on the timetables of capitalistic utility.
It’s significantly better for battery life, it’s a tiny bit more integrated into the OS, and as a bonus it doesn’t send every aspect of my entire browsing history back to Google.
>Something people don't remember is that long distance calling was not free,

"Local" calls weren't always free either. Each locality had their own set of exchanges that were considered "local" and beyond that it was "local-long distance." It was completely arbitrary. The "local-long distance" rates were often higher than the actual long distance since there was still something of a monopoly.

Then in some areas they didn't have flat rate lines, where local calls calls were "free". There were message rate lines where calling different places within your locality cost a different number of message units per call, and only a fixed number of them were included with your service. It's very similar to cloud pricing now.
You don't get to decide that. Your prejudices and carefully bonsaie gardened imperatives about how you think the world should work be do not change that fact any more than the tantrums in congresses and parliaments demanding encryption that doesn't work for "bad guys". It is fundamentally about information and its shapes.
moot is essebntially an auto-antonym, since it also means (from the same source) “make or declare irrelevant”, so it can mean either to introduce an issue for discussion or to make/declare it irrelevant for discussion.
Not familiar with Akka of Play2, but you articulated the point of overcomplicating the task of returning a simple response to a simple request via a litany of rarely useful concepts quite clearly.

OTOH, I wish popular web frameworks had a clearly documented 'no magic' option that doesn't critically depend on global methods and decorators. Again, not familiar with Play1 other than your example, but I recently did spent too much time wrangling a moderate backend build on with python/flask as a beginner going through the learning curve. After the first 5 minutes of 'look ma, I have a running server', the overreliance of globals became an unpleasant annoyance impeding test writing, with surprises abounding.
There usually is not a table between us. I sometimes sit on a couch, or we both go to the balcony and talk facing the sea (balcony view:https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/145136819388953805...). If they smoke they'll have a cigarette there. We sometimes hack on a project together right there.

I use the term conversation or dialogue often to do away from discussion's root of 'breaking' or 'stomping'. I offer to make them coffee. We talk about pretty much everything. I ask questions. They ask questions.

We try to quickly get rid of the interview vibe by making them feel comfortable. We've refined this over the years.
It's not Linux. It's not clunkier, slower or buggier. Not sure why you had those issues.
There's the perennial problem with such polls in that people have serious doubts about whether incurring costs for environmental reasons will actually accomplish the objective.

An awful lot of environmental rules simply export the problem but do nothing to stop it.
There are plenty of articles every day talking about how crypto is a scam or w/e. Anyone that's worried about one more on the pile is being irrational.

No amount blog articles is going to materially impact the long-term outlook of web3/crypto projects that aren't the actual scams/cash-grabs. =)

Not implying anything about you.

I used your comment as a jumping-off point for what I thought was an interesting question about whether this adversarial approach should be extended to other areas.
Among a master's degree, a consultancy gig, personal research and study, and finding unis abroad- I am living a hectic life.

I feel like this claim was made largely by nontechnical YouTube influencers and some Mac fanatics talking about how fast the swap on the SSDs is and equating that to not needing more RAM.

I don’t think it’s a wholly unfair assessment. You can get away with more when the memory management stack is smart and fast, but in the end if you need 9gb of ram and only have 8gb you’re going to know it. Most people just don’t (at one time).
interesting, I just discovered a Touch Bar daemon process consuming > 4 GB of memory on my 8GB MacBook, a clear leak.
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3) and now on macOS Monterey everything just feels sluggish (especially the animations) and crashes sometimes.

It just feels the OS is designed for different, more recent hardware. I have been using Mac since 2010 and that wasn't the case in the past. I paid about $3,000 for this device. I am not happy and considering Linux/Windows.

Try believing in what you’re speaking about even if it’s the most ridiculous or unusual thing, that will give your eyes a more natural vibe as compared to the one your eyes give when they’re looking for a reaction.
> Why don't sed, awk, grep, etc.. all the Linux things work quite right? I need to add something else on macOS to get them to work like they did on Linux.

If you mean how they work, like command line arguments and such (and not just speed), that's because macOS is based on BSD and thus using the BSD and not GNU versions. That's not really a "not right" thing, it's just different, and would be the same if you used any other BSD like OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc.

If you think it's that far in the right tail then you're really underestimating how much large tech companies pay even new grads.

It is virtual memory, the real memory size is usually sub 1GB. But I just can’t find any other culprit, and killing WindowServer is the only thing that helps.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this and don’t really have time for it when working on hotfixes, I just want to get back in a state where I’m not facing an imminent system lock up where I can’t even save my recent work.

My M1 Mini crashes about once a week. I look through the crash log before sending it off to Apple, but is always seems to be something different that takes down the system. In comparison, my 2018 Macbook Pro rarely crashes and is running the same version of the OS.

I have the M1 Pro Max on my to-buy list, but I'm going to wait a bit to make the purchase since I really can't have my $4000 workstation crashing on me.

From the Description: "Alex Blewitt presents the microarchitecture of modern CPUs, showing how misaligned data can cause cache line false sharing, how branch prediction works and when it fails, and how to read CPU specific performance monitoring counters and use that in conjunction with tools like perf and toplev to discover where bottlenecks in CPU heavy code live."

Speed up your TypeScript monorepo with esbuild
I know you are venting, but seriously, I use macs for macOS. Otherwise I’d be buying much cheaper hardware.

Mac hardware is nice, but it’s not that nice. Except for maybe the trackpad.
I turn off 486 cache (in software -- bits in CR0) to run 386 games. Works rather well to hit mid-386 levels of performance.
uBlock Origin allows you to filter custom elements on webpages. I can zap those elements and next time I visit that site I won't have to put up with it. It's game-changing although I wish there was a way we could share custom filters with others so I don't have to do this for every site each time

Anecdote from drummer here. I made an Android application that would detect the stroke on the snare and would show the tempo.

Of course, you only hit the snare in 2 and 4, so you had to multiply it by two... and forget it completely during breaks!

What amazed me is that it was so sensitive that I could detect even normal footsteps on rather solid floors.
DW Interview with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
Being a kid and not knowing it cost so much to dial long distance, my first 600 dollar phone bill, my parents wanted to kill me. Had to limit my hours late at night so people wouldn't pick up the phone and ruin my connection. 300 baud fun times, upgraded to 1200 as fast as I could.

I remember when multi chunk compressed files and zmodem came out (it had resume), it was an amazing step forward.

Ran one of the first bbs's in my area that had a 2400 baud on my commodore 128D, and 80 column Terminal, WOOT!.
(One of my bbs friends started Steel Belted Radius on his amiga, and he wrote a bbs, so I learned a bit from him.)

Town paper started a multiline bbs that had chat, met other people in my area.

I had my first internet email via fidonet on WWIV bbs'es.

Started migrating from BBS to tcp/ip via slirp on a education isp, that taught me unix, tcp networking, sockets, etc.

Got an Amiga and learned quite a bit about systems and amiga unix.

Then I started working at BBS's that started converting bbs's to isps with dial up modem banks with livingston portmaster. Learned much at that boot strap startup.

Then I migrated into telecom for my corporate career as a sysadmin/engineer/it work.

Good times.

One funny thing I did was create an Ansi sequence, that looked like the Sysop (BBS operator) entered chat, yelled at you and banned you. It was a nice prank. Good ole +++, lol. Lots of people inserted Ansi graphics and tricks in posts, for amusement.
In my free time I watch sports, some tv shows, read books and play golf. I am spending minimal (if any time) on those things you mentioned above. It seems like a personal choice to spend your free time on things that feel like work.
Why doesn’t it tolerate memory leaks very well? The fact that the system remains responsive and able to close the application indicates that it does tolerate it well. I’d say macOS in general tolerates memory leaks much better than Linux does, which if you don’t have a swap disk and you run out of memory the entire system just stops functioning.
> And countra argument is that smart capable educated people choosing to do machine learning instead of physics is not social issue.

You want your brightest in society to do things that further society/humanity as a whole; playing the stock-market game or optimizing models to further consumerism (which is what most ML in the industry boils down to, let's be honest) isn't exactly doing that.

Everyone's absolutely free to work on whatever they want, that's for sure. But from a society point of view, we should ask ourselves if our system sets the right incentives.
Depending on the interview I always try to make it light hearted and a discussion

One of the best times this happened is when I was being interviewed by the future manager and he said after 5 minutes you clearly know more than me and we started talking about the best places to go for a drink in the area.

I got the job and he was a fantastic manager and good friend
I don't think there is much of a learning curve, so might as well learn it.

I think I 'learned it' because that's just what you did to use the catastrophe known as Angular.

I thought we might have the chance to move from a javascript to a typescript world, but it seems it never quite fully caught on. Maybe everyone is still just trying to figure out how to get rid of javascript, or get rid of node, or support typescript in the browser, or...
Not exactly. In Gmail, tags are hierarchical.

So, if I have a tag called 'projects', and another tag called 'newproject', the overall tag is 'projects-newproject'.

If I try to see everything under 'projects', it'll only show me the ones tagged 'projects' directly, not the ones under 'newproject'.

Sorry to hear that. I feel privileged to have had the chance to ask questions quite liberally and it has been an important avenue for learning in my career. I recognize that is a privilege; I hope that it does not remain that way, that everyone has access to this way of learning.
Not sure about that. Because they tell you the timeline is ordered by what they think you could like - unless you change it back to 'home' - so they can just show data that tells legislators that people don't click on links, and that they interact more with threads instead.
Discussion style interviews aren't about pretending they're not interviewing you though.
In UK the PhD is mostly an extended masters degree. In the US it is 5+ years of effort.

Even if you have a masters in the US, the only benefit you get as a PhD student, is having less core courses in the first two semesters of your program.
I'm sorry, but a federal agency creating a policy that will cause hundreds of thousands of Americans to lose their jobs without a law being passed by Congress is insane. And at this point in the pandemic and the total amount people vaccinated, how can the Osha say it needs an emergency request. Especially when they don't take into account for natural immunity which from all evidence is more durable than the vaccines? This is not in the purview of OSHA, and mandates can be done by state governments if they want to push it.
It's basically the same thing. DRM and anticheat software is deliberately picky to make sure it's running in an expected environment: nothing that looks like processors changing, varying in speed, etc, that may indicate debugging.
The Telegram issue is not specific to M1. I think it's a bug in Telegram, as it simply refuses to start on my Intel based MBP at the moment. Started this evening.
There may have been some version of Zmodem available in 1986, but as Wikipedia itself says, it didn't become widely supported until at least the early 1990s. For example, it wasn't built into ProComm Plus, one of the leading terminal programs, until 1991 [0]. If you didn't have native support, you could add it to your terminal software as an external binary, but that was a bit trickier. [1] And, of course, the BBS you were calling had to support it too.

But when it was available, it sure left Xmodem in the dust!

That would result in extremely large quantities of junk science of use to nobody. Increasing research funding must be entirely off the table until non-replicable research papers are no longer field-destroying problems.

I did succinctly, just a couple of minutes before you did :-)

You are right nobody else had mentioned it yet at that point. Perhaps that's because Americans were more concerned about the BBS itself and purely local usage on BBSes with a large number of users, and less interested into FidoNet (or similar networks). Or a difference in eras.
Funny, I've been feeling the same way about my M1 MBA. It's hard to deny that the newer silicon doesn't have my older Linux rig beat for latency, but when it comes to raw performance I was pretty damn disappointed. At risk of offending some people, it was exactly what I feared the M1 would be: a phone CPU shoehorned in to a clamshell body. There are advantages and disadvantages to running a machine like this, but overall I don't really find the development experience to be that much more compelling than a Raspberry Pi.

That being said, Apple still knows their audience. I imagine there will be a lot of chronic Twitter browsers and Pages advocates who fall in love with this machine, and I think that's fine. I do have to wonder what constitutes a "premium" device if not for the hardware though. Everything I do on modern MacOS feels like it's prodding me to go spend $8 on a tool that I'd have for free on Linux or even Windows. Booting up Big Sur makes me long for my old a1502 running Mojave and handling some frankly ridiculous workloads while staying rock-solid in terms of stability. If anything, I applaud Apple for coming straight out and telling me that the future of their devices isn't for me.
Started off interesting (RE institutions evolving into infrastructure for supporting zero-sum games), but then devolved into some hypotheses (stated as facts) about physicists moving to computer science and machine learning being a bad thing.
Apple has bunny hopped hardware architectures, successfully. The time is right to switch from the 70s FreeBSD software environment to Bell Labs's 9P concept-oriented operating system jazzed up with Apple's delightfully intuitive UX Pixar styled art and animation. Linux is a step sideways from the BSDs.
What do we need to change this?

Education?

Behavioral Hacking?

More discussion ejection seat buzzwords?

Surplus Resources produced by cornucopia machinery?

Governments that are resistant to bribery and clan-think(aka human nature)?

Or a virus that drastically reduces economic dynamics and individual exertions? Can in a dysfunctional society and system, a virus be considered a valid policy, to prevent far greater dangers through suicidal economic policies?

Does the need of the many yet to come outweigh the need of those present?

Just doing the devils advocate here. In the longterm im guessing it needs cornucopia to kick the can of worms further down the road.

To change humanity, fix all the hardcoded brain-bugs and de-faulty heuristics, alot more has to happen. Just some dopamine-milk machine in the cellphone will not change moohmanity.

Yep... GNU versions are available for Mac, i.e. `brew install gnu-sed` and then `gsed` works like you'd expect.

You seem to be assuming that we're not already doing that?

The issue is the pattern with the current account. If people genuinely change their ways, we don't hold past accounts against them. When they repeat, that's obviously a problem.
> “We are suing because creepy elements of the UK government are illegally blocking and delaying our marriage by effectively giving the US government veto power,”

Interesting choice of words. Either "creepy" is meant to imply that the government is taking an unhealthy interest in his love life, or it is being used as a synonym for "spooky", referring to MI5 or the CIA.
