>This is something that actually annoys me immensely when people say "you eat too much!" to fat people. Two people can have the exact same diet and the exact same exercise regime, and if one assimilates particular foods more effectively they'll be getting more calories, and put on weight. Food intake is far more complex than many people believe.

I don't see why that statement is inaccurate. It's not "you eat more than me" but "you eat too much." As in you eat too much versus how much your body is able to burn of the calories it assimilates.

Admittedly, there's a light version of Windows 10 that runs pretty snappy on 2GB RAM tablets. I migrated one of those tablets (Asus Transformer of a few years ago) to Linux+Gnome because it was the only desktop manager to properly address screen rotation out of the box (again, it was a few years back) and I found it fairly slower on 2GB RAM than its original Windows 10. Agree completely on everything else: Microsoft totally borked the user interface from Win 8 onward, then decided it wasn't enough and added telemetry, then ads.

I'm sure plenty of people will say 'Just don't buy apple, then'.

But I think this is a case of 'First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out'. Once companies see that this is acceptable practice, they will all do it, and then there will be no choice.

Physically moving the soldered chip from the original to the replacement doesn't disable FaceID, though. It just allows you to continue using FaceID. That means you still need the person whose phone it is to unlock it or the passcode used to bypass FaceID.

As a local, I can assure you many Japanese do jaywalk in Tokyo. Perhaps it's slightly less frequent and considerate compared to other countries.
Rent vs. buy back then is a lot tougher decision than it is now - If you turned your old rental unit in for the latest model because it was significantly faster, chances were you would have to rewrite all your software.

Which was the big advantage of the IBM System 360 - the same software would run (+/-) on all the models of the line.
This is "Brave New World" (Aldous Huxley, 1931) in a nutshell!
Don’t you think it describes a true feeling, though? I read the laws long after my time living on-off in Scandinavia (way before the weird “cool Scandinavia,” “let’s all be hygge” trend started) and was amazed at how it captured the silent feelings I observed in society there.
I love the "messy" style of Tokyo. Seeing a small temple between two high rise buildings, an old run down restaurant next to a sleek modern shop, small passageways and large parks. It looks like anything can pop out of anywhere, it is a city that I enjoy walking aimlessly. And because it is so safe, you can do it without fear.

Ugly is subjective, and I understand why people may think Tokyo is ugly, but it is everything but boring. What is boring for me is the stereotypical American suburbs: plenty of little houses, all the same, all with a well tended lawn. There are some really nice historical cities that are much more "beautiful" than Tokyo (ex: Prague), but they lack the diversity and sense of discovery that Tokyo has.

On my first trip to Japan, I spent 3 weeks in Tokyo, and nowhere else, and I didn't feel like I even scratched the surface, there is no other city that gave me that feeling, including Paris, New-York, Hong-Kong and Seoul. Of course, all of these cities are incredibly rich and you could spend months not doing the same thing twice, but for me Tokyo is unmatched. I went back several times and it doesn't get old.

Side note: As much as I love Tokyo, I wouldn't want to live there, sounds too exhausting. And like all of Japan, it is a wonderful place to be as a tourist, but like many westerners I don't think I am a good fit for the Japanese culture.

Edit: There is a part of Tokyo that is not like the others: Odaiba. Unlike the rest of the city, it is sleek, futuristic, and well planned. I recommend visiting it, but for me, it is one of the most "boring" parts.

Edit2: I always refer to Tokyo as a city, but it is actually a prefecture made of several small cities/wards stuck together, and they all have their own downtown. Tokyo "downtown" is the Emperor palace, which is mostly empty and inaccessible. So when you are visiting Tokyo, you are actually visiting several cities.
You do realize that unless you're driving an EV charged from sustainable sources your decision to live where you need to use a car daily accounts for a very significant percentage of your contribution to climate change right?

How long can a country endure if it continues to cripple learning, muzzle truth and persecute some of its most talented and capable individuals in the name of childish, incoherent ideology? Not long.

The stage of history doesn't care how many followers you have on Twitter, or how many people's lives you can destroy in the name of your religion masquerading as science. In the coming years, the US MUST LEAD. It must shake the slop from itself and rise to the role of world leader again, not just with guns but with minds, because the battlefield of the future is a battlefield of the mind. If it does not rise, China or Russia will be glad to.

Either "wokeness" dies, or the US dies. It's that simple.
To me the issue is that they fired the guy. It's one thing to disagree with someone's statement or political views, it's another to fire them over it.

It might be different if the chaplain was blatantly racist. But even if we read his statement as "I don't think George Floyd was innocent here" - that is not something you should get fired over. You can't compare this to white supremism, he didn't even imply George Floyd wasn't innocent.

He got fired for saying something which suggested he was a racist.

When you fire people over saying things which suggest they are bigoted, you create a culture where people hide mundane things and non-PC facts. You get people to be shy and not say anything for fear of vaguely implying something bad. And you risk hiding real "harsh truths" like (idk) the fact that the J&J vaccine caused fatal blood clots in 0.000014% of people.
It is simplistic but not fully wrong, when you remove a part of the brain you often don't kill the person, instead the person just lost a part of their mental functions. This is a fact, and based on that we can say that some functions tend to live in some parts of the brain.
I am ashamed to say that, having been trained in classical music, I used to think exactly the same thing about jazz. Jazz for me was either elevator music or random noises mixed together. Until I finally listened to it seriously and studied it. I learned more about music, harmony, music theory and playing techniques in a couple of years than in a decade of classical training and listening. Even as a very mediocre player, I can reach creative heights that I never could before, when I just played what's on the page.

Just because I did not understand what's going on because of a lack of the required background does not mean that it is not musical. Not everything is packaged in easily digestible bits, some things require more, much more work, and the reward is much better.

One thing I can assure you, despite being a pure improvisation, nothing in that performance is random or out of place.
An attempt of a framework for solving whiteboarding/Leetcode problems is helpful, and it should always invite us to ask what computer science pedagogy is missing. Any CS program worth its salt includes data structures and algorithms courses- they are simply fundamental elements of the discipline.

And yet, why are these interviews so difficult? I don't think it's simply an issue of many people having gone through these programs and failing to absorb or retain the material. Neither do I think there is a severe mismatch in the material covered and the interviews. Yes, some interview questions are awfully close to logic puzzles - having to know the two pointer trick for detecting cyclic graphs, what CS program covers that industry-specific technique? - but others are fundamental applications of trees, graphs, dynamic programming, etc.

Could it just be that academic CS doesn't approach solving problems in the same way as these interviews do? Are there meta-problem solving techniques that these courses simply don't cover? Heuristics that must be applied when one approaches a general problem before the topic is narrowed down? "Ah this involves a tree, ah this requires sorting, ah we should use a hash table?"
His takes on Trump, #metoo, LGBTQ, etc are consistently framed in a manner that would appeal to the Scott Adams crowd.

Very cool project. Good thing on Starlink for only removing the potentially sensitive API. Once I'm back to where my Starlink is I'll have to update my system to report to this as well.
I'm not convinced by this - if you look at an iPhone 13's screen, it's entirely separate from the face ID hardware. https://i.imgur.com/D63HrIT.png (screenshot from [0])

On iPhones X through 12, if you kept the Face ID hardware and only changed the display, Face ID would continue to work. On the iPhone 13 series, if you keep the Face ID hardware and change the display, Face ID stops working.

The chip which people are removing seems to serve only to identify the display - nothing to do with the Face ID system. Apple has been using this chip for years to disable "true tone" display functionality when the screen was swapped (unless it was programmed by a proprietary tool, only available to first-party repair shops) - they're now also tying it disable Face ID.

I don't have absolute pitch but pretty good relative pitch and can't see how it would've helped.

Someone with absolute pitch doesn't, necessarily, understand the relationship between notes. That has to be learned by studying music. I.e. being able to hear that a C and and Eb have been played doesn't tell you that they form a minor third and that minor third can be used to form all sorts of different chords/sounds.

At least that's my conjecture. I'd love to hear from someone who has perfect/absolute pitch if they agree.

Many of the economists I know are pointing to a very well-known risk in first-price auctions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winner%27s_curse

Essentially the problem is: conditional on buying the house, you overpaid.

It is ridiculous, but at this point with the dumb money that is sloshing around in the industry, and is now actually being sent to engineer compensation packages (a lot of money that has gone into the public markets and thus into RSU offerings, it would seem), there definitely seems to be incentive to jump through these hoops for a piece of the pie.
This is a meaningless assertion, if you insist on going that far we have to discuss whether OS context switches cause your process to pause or whether the allocator you're using causes page faults. When people say 'gc implementations that have no pauses' they mean no stop-the-world, which IS an achievable thing in production collectors in many cases.
And, while I'm less familiar with the historical growth of London and Paris, cities like New York and Boston definitely merged together previously separate communities. (And, in the case of Boston, at least two depending upon how you count are still separate cities but part of a single metropolis.)
They actually can be worse in the case of space travel. You get outside the atmosphere and the sun can cause a lot of problems with newer chips.

Why don't you think it's simply an issue of many people who go through CS programs failing to master the material? It's hard to imagine someone who did well in, say, Sedgewick's sequence at Princeton (which, by the way, is available on Coursera for free for anyone who didn't want to go to Princeton) - it's hard to imagine someone like that struggling with entry level tech interview questions
You're making a different argument than the one I was replying to, which was precisely about vaccine effectiveness and semantics related to that.

But you're also wrong. The mmr vaccine is mandated if you want to attend k-12 public schools or federally funded public universities, and the ability to do that is uncontroversially in executive purview (for universities).

Also note that this EO has a testing option, so calling it a vaccine "mandate" is a stretch, unlike the EO that applies to federal contractors which is a mandate and is uncontroversially constitutional.
I feel your pain ... I got a late afternoon invite to a meeting with HR and my bosses-boss for the next morning and the 12 hours of not knowing what was going on was way worse than being downsized.
As mentioned previously, the last Apple product I purchased was the iPad Gen 1 (2010). However, my security consciousness changed post Snowden (2013) and I devoted time and effort to study and implement strong infosec.

This was about when I stopped using my Apple ID (so I'd estimate it's been about 8 years).

That said, bragging that you haven't changed your passwords from 15+ years ago, even if they are securely stored, makes me question how serious you take your security.

I change my passwords regularly, and it's accepted that this is best practice.

As to your comment about an attacker being able to reset my password quickly, I think I should be given the option to if I wanted, or be allowed to provide KYC like passport or driving licence to fast track it.

If I was a celebrity I might want to opt in to 'slow track' plus KYC verification.

My point is about not having the option because it's Apple's way or the highway.
You know what affects them more?

A monopoly like Apple, hoarding and gatekeeping the tech, raising their prices. Making 3rd party apps and services more expensive because they have less margin due to Apple taxes.

That's way worse than some invented boogyman.

While your general point is understandable, it's not really that my position is that I trust that Apple knows what's best for me and, if that's what you took away, then you've misunderstood my point. My point is that Apple has engineered their device in a way that guarantees the chain of trust for the hardware components. That is a position that I understand and agree with because there's no way to compromise that position. I also understand that this makes things harder for third-party repair shops but it doesn't invalidate their ability at all so long as they're willing to jump through the hoops necessary to be in that chain of trust. I know what's best for me and what's best for me is a phone that I can trust the components. It doesn't matter to me whether that's Apple or a third-party. I'm not sure how that translates to "Apple knows what's best for me" instead of "Apple has created a device that, in principle, allows for fewer attack vectors". It wouldn't matter to me who did this. It only matters to me that there's no way to bypass this.

It would be the same as me hiring a security company to protect any other assets I have. I can either hire freelancers or I can hire a company that promises to run background checks on all its employees. That doesn't mean they know what's best for me but it does mean that I trust them to not hire someone who's been in jail for burglary.

Well - you're busy, they are busy - you need a moment of their time at their convenience and you're asking for it.

Right, but if you're allocating way too much, no lifetime management model will save you.

As a game dev I still will take a modern GC over refcounting or manual lifetime management any day. There are scenarios where you simply don't want to put up with the GC's interference, but those are rare - and modern stacks like .NET let you do manual memory management in cases where you are confident it's what you want to do. For the vast majority of the code I write, GC is the right approach - the best-case performance is good and the worst-case scenario is bad performance instead of crashes. The tooling is out there for me to do allocation and lifetime profiling and that's usually sufficient to find all the hotspots causing GC pressure and optimize them out without having to write any unsafe code.

The cost of having a GC walk a huge heap is a pain, though. I have had to go out of my way to ensure that large buffers don't have GC references in them so that the GC isn't stuck scanning hundreds of megabytes worth of static data. Similar to what I said above though, the same problem would occur if those datastructures had a smart pointer in them :/
Thanks. I've been in the situation before where you complain about your job every day then look around and realize the job actually is pretty good.
Apple is not a monopoly so the rest of your statement is meaningless drivel. Also, if I recognize you from other threads, you tend to be pretty sensationalist so forgive me if I feel like you're the one selling a boogeyman.

I think there are different flavors of Stoicism chiefly differentiated by the social status of the person practicing it. The wealthy and the powerful don’t have to deal with systemic oppression, only their own emotions and consequences of playing the game of realpolitik. In that context Stoicism has a lot to offer. For everyone else though - well sometimes raw, “unmanaged” anger for example is a useful emotion. A “stoic revolutionary” is an oxymoron.
It seems like many GMO crops can actually have more (or in some cases just different?) Nutrients. In any case, it would a balance of some sort-- 20% increase in crop yields would more than offset 10% reduction in nutrients. Though I have no idea what the actual balance is.

Most people who talk about it have lived in only one place, namely some Scandinavian country. They have nothing to compare it to.

But running speedtest every 15 minutes sounds like a bad idea. It's going to fully saturate the connection for ~1 minute and is likely to interfere with whatever the connection is being used for. Things like gaming/streaming/video chat are likely going to suffer.

Running the status check only during the night would probably be a better idea, and would probably generate data that was still useful.
