I just completed my migration in the opposite direction after using Arch Linux as my daily driver for ~10 years.

I think Arch Linux is by far the better OS for pretty much all power users, but when using multiple devices, the benefits of the "Apple Ecosystem" outweigh the benefits of an amazing desktop OS for me, which is why I ended up switching to Mac OS.

Some key points which I believe are much worse on Mac:

* No great package managers. Nothing is super-integrated with the core system like pacman is in Arch, and even when heavily using some package manager, there will always be a bunch of software that can only be updated using their own auto-update mechanism instead of a central package manager.

* Docker in general is just much slower compared to running directly on Linux.

* Setting up ergonomic custom keyboard shortcuts is painful and requires (multiple?) third-party applications to do well.

ContractsCounsel | https://www.contractscounsel.com/ | REMOTE (UK, Europe) | Full-time | Python/Django/MySQL/AWS | Senior Full Stack Developer | US$80-$110k

I am the CTO at ContractsCounsel, and we develop an online marketplace to connect lawyers with clients in the US marketplace, and to support them working together on projects. We have a number of exciting opportunities, and therefore need to expand the development team.

I am looking for our first developer, reporting directly to me. We are using Python, Django and MySQL on the back-end, Javascript and jQuery on the front-end, all deployed on AWS. As the first developer in a start-up, you will be involved with all aspects of the development process: specification, development, testing, release, support.

Ideally, the developer would work core-hours of 10-4.30 (UK time), with a brief stand-up at 10 each day. I have grown development teams successfully in previous start-ups, but I am still open to ideas for improvements.

Interview process consists of: short coding test (should take no more than 1 hour); 30-minute remote interview; 60-minute remote interview. I have hired successfully from Hacker News before.

We have ambitious plans to grow quickly in an environment where data is sensitive, so any experience of scaling, security and robustness would be helpful. Any experience of start-ups, legal and/or online marketplaces would also be useful, but is not required.

Please apply by sending your C.V. to me, with a short paragraph about why you would be a good fit for the role. Feel free to contact me with any questions. recruitment AT contractscounsel DOT com
I tried it out in the end but didn't find "anonymous social login", which I assumed its gonna be a middle man service that supports the usual social logins like Facebook, Google, Instagram, etc., but it doesn't seem the case.
This is great! I used to maintain connections to all kinds of social media APIs; lots of on going maintenance. neat to see a service dedicated to this. What are the SLAs like?
I had to look it up.

I guess this means that every country sending athletes to the Olympics should issue guidance saying the safety of athletes who have ever expressed support for Taiwan independence cannot be guaranteed if they go to China.
There are two things that make debt unserviceable: debt payments and cost/rate to take on new debt.

Debt crises only happen when debt payments exceed ability to repay and the cost/rate to take on new debt spikes.

Everyone fails to appreciate the second factor when looking at large economy, stable country debt levels. High debt:GDP ratios are dangerous, but not intrinsically a crisis... until the market also loses faith.

Given that in the current international economic climate, the US can issue new debt, and find buyers, at <2%, that's a cheap way to buy time for even normal inflation levels to nibble away at debt.

Ironically, now is the perfect time to deficit spend, in the same way it's a perfect time for an IPO. Why would you not take money, invest it in something productive, if people are screaming to give it to you at negative real rates?
Yeah, exactly. Why?

If someone is intent on committing crime. Say a serial killer who has killed many people, then while incarcerated continues attempting to attack and kill guards and other inmates, you would say this person should not be killed? I feel that your view is not realistic. The goal of executing criminals is not to punish them like "haha, we got you", it's to physically prevent them from continuing to cause chaos.

OSINT nerds seeing 3 aircraft flying together in privacy mode: ALL HANDS ON DECK
Security codes ("safety numbers" on Signal) are supposed to provide you with a means to detect malicious MITM attacks. Since most users don't check their contacts' numbers out-of-band -- or even verify their own codes regularly -- it's kind of a probabilistic mechanism. In theory these checks should dissuade attacks on the system, but in practice does it?

This post illustrates one of the many reasons the solution is less effective than I would like it to be. Specifically, when the system spits out weird results (changing safety numbers, mismatched numbers) it tends to be hard to diagnose the problem in a way that lets you verify, let alone prove to third parties, that there really was an attack. Since changes and mismatches "just happen", people tend to take warnings less seriously than they would if there was a path to diagnosing the problem. Moreover, from a hypothetical attacker's perspective there isn't much disincentive when most users will just shrug at these problems. I'm not sure there's a perfect solution to this, but I think it would be interesting to make these systems more robust.
WSJ has an article a while back comparing emissions from electric vs gas vehicles over the life of the car [0]. It's graphic-heavy so you'll get something out of it even you just scroll.

I don't know what I should be getting out of this article. Cars require energy and materials to make? I think I knew that. I wish this article made bolder claims about EVs not being green instead of implying and hand-waving. Because than maybe I could refute it.

Electric cars are better for the environment, given any reasonable parameters of the average driver, and that's something people should know.

Taiwan is considered independent by the vast majority of countries, who are doing business with it and having totally normally diplomatic relationships with it. The only caveat is Taiwan embassies are called bullshit and those countries will pretend not having diplomatic with it. But this is theater only and for 99% of things that matter Taiwan is considered a country.

Let's take an example: passports. France is one of the country pretending Taiwan isn't independent while letting Taiwanese people enter its borders with a Taiwanese passport. Since when people can move around with passports from an not independent country? Other example: academic scholarships for foreigners in Japan. China and Taiwan are separated and treated vastly different things. Also money changing: I didn't had any issue changing from and to NTD the last I went to a change bureau in KIX airport. How all of this is this possible if Taiwan is not, in fact, recognized as a country?

You need to differentiate. There is a lot of criticism against Israel as a state which is anti-semitism in my opinion because people plainly suggest different rules just for jews.

Then there is criticism against the settlements which in my opinion steals land that doesn't belong to those that want to settle there. The criticism is valid. There is a cultural component here though as many settlers were formerly expelled from Arab lands. That influences in what they see as just.

In reality this criticism gets horribly mixed and objective debate is difficult. Many in Israel are sick of the conflict and wary about criticism because they always have to check the motivation behind it.

Those that propose to defend the side of Palestinians often aren't the best in my opinion, even if they have been fully socialized in western nations they still demand the destruction of Israel. That is stupid beyond measure and certainly not conductive to solve the conflict. Some probably have a worse effect than terrorist groups.
My life as been a lie!
'headless' means you bring your own html structure, the library provides interaction and state exposed by props or hooks. As such, I am not sure Headless UI is headless since they only let you bring your own CSS. At that point, it's a lot easier to create your own set of components that you have full control over than to include another NPM dependency.

> Can you help me understand what that means? Is it not possible to run it at the "full" resolution? Will it be scaled to what equates to the 1800x1169 that you mention?

Yes, Apple doesn't provide for running at the native resolution out of the box (utilities like SwitchResX make those options available, though I don't know if they work with the M1s yet), all the display modes they propose are scaled.

Historically there was a default mode at 2x scaling with 2 above and 2 below, apparently on the M1s the default 2x scaling is the second-to-last and you only have one mode above.

So on the 14" with a physical 3024 x 1964 display, the modes provided natively by macOS are:

1800 x 1169 (1.68x)
1512 x 982 (2x, default)
1352 x 878 (2.24x)
1147 x 745 (2.64x)
1024 x 665 (2.95x)

Don't ask me why they selected these wonky-ass resolutions aside from the 2x one though. The 1024 one could make some sense but it seems like adjusted luck: the 16" bottoms out at 1168 instead. Could be a question of pixel density I guess but you'd have to run the computation.
Yeah. Sounds like geeking around. 20 years ago we had this cult of "living in the console" and ignoring X servers at all. It was fun for some time - even watching some video stuff using mplayer's aalib, playing mud.... But then again - this is not about productivity - it is just fun, while if you need to do work, family, etc... There's rarely time for that.
I see. My mobile client only shows a flag icon. That's my fault entirely though. Thanks.

What's the issue now then? Flexbox is straightforward enough.
Also very much depends on the field/discipline. There is a reason militaries are organized topdown and a reason many businesses are increasingly more flat in their hierarchy. With that said, accountability is important in any organization and it is important that an individual owns their work. Where you run into problems is when it is unclear whose work is whose. That fuzziness of accountability is much more likely to occur in a flat org.
Reading the netstat source... yeah, there's freedom.

> You can't join meetings because your headphone/ mic drivers aren't working? yikes.

I really don't know where you're getting this from. This isn't 2004 and you don't have to screw with ALSA drivers to get basic audio functionality on Linux.

On both PulseAudio and Pipewire, I've never had this problem and I know many others who haven't had issues either, and I really just don't think audio input/output is a gigantic issue on Linux (other than, obviously, if you have niche hardware, but I still haven't had audio issues other than when I tried to install Linux on a Chromebook using the MrChromebox coreboot UEFI firmware). Audio drivers failing is something that people like to throw out there even though it's not very common. I've literally never had my audio drivers suddenly fail on me. The only mic issues I've had are the ones I'd have on any other system, like choosing the wrong input device and wondering why no one can hear me.

> maintaining that entire stack across updates is daunting

I've had Arch installs for long, long times. IME and in many other people's experiences, Arch doesn't really break that much (read: at all for me) through updates compared to other distros (eg. Ubuntu). It's a good example of a distro that you'd want to use on a desktop for this exact reason.

If that's his personal moral code, I don't have a problem with him substituting "programmers" for "men", but just do it and spare me the lecture. I consciously avoid referring to groups of women or mixed-genders as "guys", but I don't stop and point out to everybody that I did it whenever I do.
> system where people don't have to be coerced to do things

Was there ever a working system without some form of coercion? The common forms of coercion are either withholding resources (usually money), or restricting freedom (prison / labor camp).
I think the language and runtime are evolving too fast for good support of other platforms outside of NIO based apps running in a Docker container. This should change once Swift has all the features originally planned for it. They are getting close, but there are several areas that need work. The biggest is an ownership system. But there is also variadic generics, extensions to the pattern matching system, c++ bridging, completing some missing concurrency features, SPM features, and lots of optimizations. Cross platform support is mostly for early community building right now. Much of it funded by Apple directly. Maybe around Swift 7 or 8 it will be better suited for other platforms.
"functionally independent" does not buy you much if you don't have enough international recognition. And I mentioned it's not just Djibouti, it's the US, it's the EU (all of it), and so on.

>Nevertheless, 15 states recognise the ROC and have diplomatic relations with it.

Those 15 states... heavy-weights like the Holy Sea (aka the Vatican), Paraguay, Nicaragua and some tiny island nations mostly in the Caribbean and Micronesia. Basically all the nations China deemed too unimportant to pressure or buy off, and the Pope.

The only reason China didn't topple Taiwan yet is that the US (and the EU, but they do not really care that much about that) would get mad.

However, China is recently increasing the pressure more and more, this announcement only being the last one. It looks like China is preparing to see if the US is bluffing.

It might end up becoming another Hong Kong, with China pinky-swearing they will keep Taiwan "autonomous" for the time being to appease the international community, while not really doing that, knowing full well that the US is not very keen of risking an outright war with China over Taiwan.
Not actually a throwaway even though there is throwaway in the title.

But to your point, (1) I wasn't just talking about myself, I would love to visit China. (2) America became a world leader post second world war. It earned its global Spurs. Under Xi, what has China done to earn a similar title? China thinks that its size alone makes people respect it and should make people respect it? All I can say is LOL to that.

Because many of the changes are large enough that it will break, and that's expected.

The KISS principle applies here.

If a config file format changes in a service between version 3 and version 4, should the package manager be responsible for it? Or the admin?

Sometimes it's not just merging changes in.

In a non-rolling release distribution, you only need to worry about those changes during major upgrades.
In a rolling release distro, they can change at any time. It's no different than a user reading the release notes for Debian 11 while upgrading from 10, except the upgrades are constant.

> All major clouds have better alternatives to Vault.

Debatable. From my experience, all major clours have alternatives to Vault, but not "better" by any stretch of the imagination.
It's the philosophy of Arch to stick to vanilla as much as possible and keep things simple. It's a rolling distro too with no fixed release cycles. When you upgrade fedora, ubuntu, etc. they perform various scripts to migrate existing configuration. In Arch, it just simply installs the vanilla packages whenever you tell pacman to update. Very rarely there is some breaking change, maybe once or twice a year, that requires manual intervention. Yeah they could automate it all but such stuff takes effort and breaks in other ways.
That they decided to call a DAG tool "AWS step functions" always puzzled me. I get it now -- like "step by step" -- but didn't a single person do a web search for "step function" beforehand to find it already has a totally separate meaning in mathematics and scientific applications?
If the usage is meant in the city where as you mentioned the focus is on avoiding all kinds of obstacles, having the heart rate occupying display estate is at best meaningless and at worst dangerous.
Much more convenient. I’m absentminded. I’ve left a GoPro on my bike and had it stolen (totally my fault, this was in the middle of a big city). If I mounted my smartphone in certain I’d repeat the mistake.

You are uninformed. It's called the great reset and its 100% intentional just like the "great" depression. All for the rich to rule over you. Fake covid protocols were really to tank global economy. See Bidens Agenda 2030 speaches for more detail.
I am personally facing up to make the opposite switch. 2 days of battery life is very attractive for me. I am thinking of keeping my current laptop as my "desktop" and carrying a Mac around.

Since most of my tools are cross platform, (jetbrains ides), my work can just continue Grimm one place to another using GitHub for synchronisation.
lol, I guess. I've never used Tinder but I suppose it is a decent comparison.
Taiwan isn’t a state wishing to be independent.

It is a separate, already independent nation.

A more accurate analogy would be like saying the US claiming sovereignty over Canada would be a US / Canada issue and the rest of the world should not be involved. That’s not how it works.

I’m all for the people of Taiwan to determine their status for themselves, but I don’t think the people of China should get a vote on the matter.
