iOS Safari has been years behind Chrome and/or Firefox on graphics, compute (WASM, threading), user input, etc for a long time. If you're trying to ship a PWA there is also a lot of stuff for that use case which is either missing or intentionally busted.

A really obvious example: Fullscreen for webpages and PWAs on iOS is broken on purpose - the browser can do it, but won't allow you to stay in full-screen for anything except a <video> tag. Apparently they changed this on iPad? In any case, fullscreen is an absolutely ancient, uncontroversial web API they've chosen not to support that is essential for things like games and multimedia. There are other browser APIs that require fullscreen too, like pointer lock (if for some reason you've plugged a mouse into your iDevice... maybe that's why fullscreen is enabled on iPad.)

So in practice, if you want to watch videos or play a game fullscreen on your iPhone, you have to go to the app store. Which is an intentional choice, because Apple gets to siphon 30% of all game transactions over there.
limestone is the largest carbon reservoir in the world, storing about 80% of all the world's carbon, and nearly all limestone is former marine organisms.

At 10 cents per kWh, an EV costs $8-$10 to recharge (for an 80-100 kWh EV). So it’s more like an expensive beer.

If you are charging many, many EVs, you can buy your own capacity, and you don’t need to worry about a grid, maybe you can pay the LCoE, which is about $31/MWh for solar, so that charge costs $3 and is more like a cheap beer at a bar.

(At current US gas prices, that still makes the energy cost of an EV something like 1/3 that of a Prius and vastly cheaper than an average ICE car.)
I hate this style of design as well, but there is a buy now button on the top right the entire time.

You've made the mistaken assumption here that the people making their own judgments must be using reason to do so.
There was some dirty business going on here. Several dozen people wanted to register domains that were arbitrarily deemed to be inappropriate. When the policy changed, they weren't offered to the first person who made the request, but to users that were hand-picked by the powers-that-be.
The fact it fits in my small shoulder pouch (like my iPad does) and my MacBook doesn’t, and it still looks like it could be used held in two hands, I think it’s quite interesting.

I actually tend to agree, and am surprised that the discussion in this post is so breathless. Having used (and continuing to use) multiple Hashicorp products fairly extensively, they tend to have a lot of warts, just fewer warts than the alternatives.

Terraform is a great example:

* It's slow, and new versions often get slower.

* Apart from the most serious ones, bugs often don't get fixed for years, and GitHub issues and pull requests (both for TF itself and the biggest providers) are a swamp of thousands of issues and hundreds of PRs dating back 4+ years. Issue triage is erratic and often fails to fully read or comprehend the reported issue.

* There are some design deficiencies that seem hard to fix. For example: first-class support for providers that are configured based on other resources in the same Terraform state. This usually doesn't work correctly without hacks like `-target`. The "right way" to do this is to have separate TF states for different "layers" of your infra, which is fine and ends up pretty tidy for large infra, but nobody really talks about this (not even the TF docs), so invariably things will not be architected that way at the start and by the time the TF config has grown, refactoring it to split out the layers will be a deeply unpleasant time-suck. (The awful experience that is refactoring large TF configs being another major negative all by itself.) This fundamental issue is the root cause of hundreds of TF GitHub issues.

* The major Hashicorp-maintained (or co-maintained) providers are often massively underresourced, leading to delays before new cloud features are supported, forcing users of TF to maintain those resources outside of Terraform, which is a mess. If a user of, say, the AWS provider tries to rectify the situation by sending a PR, it will just be lost in the sea of ~3000 open issues and ~500 open PRs unless they put in significant time and effort to get attention to it.

Despite all of this, we still use Terraform heavily because it's less crap than the alternatives, but I can hardly muster the love for it that is expressed elsewhere in these comments.

I'll just throw out there that I'm someone who's been developing for a long time but never been able to get into web dev.

It just always feels clunky for me, there's way too many divergent approaches, best practices are constantly moving.

I'm designing a web frontend for an embedded project I'm working on and decided on Mithril + Typescript + Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI.

And it's the first time I've felt productive with web tooling.

Tailwind/Daisy UI makes so much more sense than any other styling approach I've ever tried.

I mean, is there a reason I wouldn't want to say an element is a "large red button" rather than a "setup-wizard-login-button" and defining that somewhere else?

Maybe I'm missing something that becomes a problem at a larger scale but for me this utility based approach is great.

On the other hand: they gave me an idea. I can structure the crawler differently. Right now, I am now following the next page (apparently there is a limit on the number of 'next' pages). Instead, it is possible to get the maximum item id, then just decrement the item id down and down again.

With drones we have this odd period of time where people are manually flying them, but the ultimate goal is autonomous flight. Basically we never wanted humans controlling drones in the first place, but it was needed while sensors / AI+ML improved.

Skydio IMO has a big jump on DJI in this space while DJI does have an overall more polished package. Will be interesting to see how the next decade plays out.
"Fun" (I am not being diminutive or anything like that. Just placing some emphasis on this word and the ideas it may speak to.)

You need to get professional help from people who handle gender specifically. If I were you, I would get a referral from someone you trust.

You should get that help because getting this identity stuff wrong will come with serious consequences one cannot come back from.

You run the very real risk of having to cope with worse than you do now. And while the matter seems minor the way you present, it just may not be.

One other thing:

Fact is a whole lot of people, myself included, want you to be you! Living a lie sucks man. No judgement here. People should be able to present as who they are period.

Fact also is the numbers on that are not great. Some parts of the world are better than others. Same goes for the town or city you live in too. Be careful.

The answer to your question is generally yes! And self discovery is fun!

Doing that yourself with gender in question is high risk.

Doing that under professional guidance is much lower risk.

The people I know, who got this right, are happier, confident, and just are where they were putting on a show of sorts before.

I say get that help. Go figure out what you need to be you and live well and full.

If cost per pound to orbit drops by 100-1000 times with the advent of SpaceX's Starship rocket, who knows what kinds of space activities will be profitable.

If it only costs $1 million to immigrate to Mars, you might be surprised how many people would give it a try and how many billionaires would sponsor whole colonies. Like when Europeans colonized North America.
$15k is way too low just like it's way too low for an engine swap.

In that, you can do it for $15k as your starting budget but you'll have to cheap out everywhere, get lucky many different ways, sell the things you swap out and still have it creep upwards.

Likewise, unless you're starting with a junkyard motor $15k is probably not enough.

A proper turnkey conversion for a V8 Miata for example ends up right around... $40k.

They're talking about the @apply directive. It takes a list of classes and creates a single class with those properties. Since Tailwind classes generally map almost 1-to-1 for CSS rules, it'd be easier in my opinion to just write the CSS directly.
As a full stack quant dev who is struggling to go all-in on Beacon: Do people generally like to use Glint for complex applications? Are benefits of Beacon lost when interfacing from e.g. Angular?

I’m also skeptical of other products made in other countries, but there are vastly more consumer electronics products sold in America made in China than any other country, along with open hostility to some Western companies who want to sell in China without undue government influence.

I’m skeptical of all my purchases independent of where they were manufactured, but threat assessment isn’t context blind. I’d be more suspicious of a Saudi-made iPhone than a Chinese one, but less suspicious of an Indian iPhone than either. I’m sure my own unconscious biases are feeding into these suspicions, but I honestly don’t have reasonable alternatives to most of my electronics made in any particular country. The news tells us to fear Huawei, which makes me wonder what other warnings we may not be hearing. Do other countries warn against using American products and services?

I’d be curious about reliability and quality control variance between countries of manufacture, but I suspect that timely data on this would be hard to gather.

I quite like the vast majority of my products, wherever they are made. I just want trustworthy products made safely by willing employees paid fair wages for reasonable working hours. In that regard, it’s hard to find anything I know to meet these criteria, even when it’s made in USA.

Buying better isn’t always buying less, but they can be complementary goals.
> As consumers we're better off because of that choice.

Consumers are not an undifferentiated mass. There are people who would have been better off with Flash support. Certainly at the time there were -- it was a hardship back when there were still many Flash sites.

And customers don't need Apple for this. If you dislike Flash enough to endure the hardship of not having access to Flash sites when they're still popular, don't install it. If many other people feel the same, Flash will go away. If hardly anyone feels the same then it's Apple doing it for their own benefit and against the will of most of their customers.

The way to settle this is to allow multiple app stores. If customers really want only the Apple one, that's what they'll choose. If that's not what they want and they're only after the operating system or the hardware, how can you claim that Apple is doing what the customers want?
It doesn't add up that it was ransomware but no one has claimed responsibility.

Perhaps it was BlackMatter which has got shutdown this week. Perhaps it wasn't ransomware. Something seems odd.
It simply isn’t that hard to live on $7/day in most of the US. Been there and done that. Loads of cheap, good food has always been available. Even in tech country (where I live).

Eggs are $0.75/dozen here right now. Tuna is $0.79/can. Legumes round to free. Meals aren’t free but they aren’t expensive. You can live damn well on $7/day if you are remotely competent and have even basic cooking skills available to everyone.

Food in the US is very inexpensive.

they were large format digital cameras and they were hassblad so they were very pricy. They weren't aimed at consumers or even your average pro.

But I think the competing brands were good enough to make it non viable.
I believe that is right, AGPL is great for users.

AGPL is a license, a contract between developers of software and users of that software. It gives certain rights to both parties.

I think it is often implied that AGPL is somehow more "ethical" than other software licenses. I don't know why some people may think so and would like to hear the main arguments behind that. Is all copyright evil as well?
Rates can only be kept so low before a real crisis comes and there are no levers to pull to soften the landing. Maybe the crisis isn’t for a while, but eventually the economy will overheat at the current pace, that’s just the business cycle.
Copyleft licenses like GPL are about user freedom, permissive licenses like BSD/MIT/Apache are about developer freedom, and COSS licenses like Elastic and SSPL are about freedom from competition.
I posted a very similar comment on Reddit /r/vim quite recently, yeah. Must've been that. Just so happens it came up here today again :-)

Agreed. I’m exhausted of the premise that I have to rent everything around me.
There can be up to the full bit density of the raw file worth of information present at the output of the camera chip. If you were to aim the camera at an even high resolution, high contrast ratio screen, containing error corrected data displayed as pixels, you could use it to input up to 50% of that amount, assuming losses for error correction, noise, etc.

What a lossy compression algorithm is doing is to decide how unexpected a give bit of data is, assuming a certain model of image interpretation. There were decades of work thrown at it back when 512x512 pixels was high resolution, to create mathematical models of human vision that most closely match how people actually see the differences between images. This lets a computer decide how much changing a given pixel would effect how much a person would notice it being different. Doing this in an efficient and effective manner was not easy.

The least surprising bits get thrown away, in such a way that the process can be reversed to recreate the original image as closely as possible given the error budget and constraints of the encoding method, and the vision model used.

There camera sensor itself is optimized for doing one job... capturing light and converting that to a voltage. There are dedicated processors elsewhere that handle JPEG and other compression methods.

There is always an adjustment of quality available with lossy compression, everyone has their own preference for how much of the picture quality they are willing to lose, which is why there is usually a slider or preset somewhere you can adjust.

Professional photographers who are in high-stakes shoots record everything the sensor sees, without loss, in a RAW file. The incremental cost of the extra storage is far less than risking quality in these situations. Often a JPEG will be made at the same time, with the same file numbering to make it quicker to go through photos at the first sorting.

Steve Jobs could have picked some arbitrary value of compression, but that wouldn't have made it right.
Nice to read a solution through self reflection and meditation. This should be the default for anything.
Yeah, it was surprising that they didn't pop these SoCs into the Mac Mini but perhaps they are doing a full redesign of the Mini and we'll see a new version some time next year?

Obviously a 'Pro' version of the iMac is coming eventually with a larger screen but I don't think many people expected that yet. Maybe February or so next year...

I did, my point was more that the Intel and AMD TDPs aren't really super directly comparable because they both use different formulae to compute the numbers.

Maybe I misunderstood you?

I do agree with the second part of your reply, and I also don't know who would buy the Intel part over the AMD part. I think Intel's move into space heaters is disappointing, and once AMD revs their process, micro-architecture and moves to DDR5, I suspect they will once again smoke Intel. Pretty poor showing in my opinion.
I can’t wait for the desktop-class Pro hardware. If you extrapolate on power consumption alone it would be a complete monster. They could do something gnarly like fit 8 sockets on a single board and send your compute ability to level 9000.

I’m hoping for a mid-tier unit though - a rebirth of the G4 Cube as a “Mac Mini Pro”

I daily drive an M1 mini now and abuse the hell out of it. I’ve never heard the fan. It’s a remarkable device. I was installing a Homebrew package the other day on my i7 MacBook Pro and the fans kicked on - it almost startled me - I had forgotten about active cooling.
The AGPL requires contributing back more code which can be interpreted as providing more benefits to users.

Plenty of software freedom advocates do believe that copyright is evil and copyleft is essentially using copyright against itself as a temporary stopgap until copyright can be abolished completely.
Your first 2 paragraphs are contradictory…the fed’s normal inflation measurement is a very limited set of goods. No one really knows what inflation is at if we “look at everything”.

Oil price is also not a good gauge of inflation because it’s heavily controlled and doesn’t always reflect what you see at the pumps. When oil went to negative in 2020 you didn’t see free gas, maybe slightly cheaper, but no where near the change in crude/WTI prices.
