I was part of the team that "ported" the classic Finder to OS X. I left Apple in 2006, but was there at the time of the NeXT acquisition. Trying to appease the spatial Finder advocates and at the same time trying to appease Steve's desire to never have to know where a file existed in the filesystem was a constant source of grief.

The seeming utopia of the System 7/8/9 Finder was possible because the job of the Finder, and the system itself, was relatively simple. The current Finder is managing a ton of features that are quite complex. If you were to say that many of these features are not needed, or detract from some pure vision of the Finder, I would probably agree with you.

It is always interesting to get feedback, positive or negative, on the Finder. In general, most users seem to interact with it in a shallow way, using the Desktop as a giant catch all storage location.

We were always aware of the various bugs involving the loss of layout preferences and fixes ended up being fragile and exposing confusing bits of UI. The team tried (tries) hard to balance all of the competing requests for Finder functionality. Working on the Finder team could be joyous and miserable at the same time.
yep. pretty sure a vectornav gives decent resolution using magnetic model of the earth, although not gps rez.

Professional help is a space or forum to have your issues heard, though, isn't it?
Nope. Feminism is about valuing people as people, regardless of what gender roles tell us about how to judge them. What you're talking about is a gender role, which is explicitly what feminism is against.
Vivaldi is the definition of bloat. What was that saying, that all software grows until it bundles an entire mail client? Yeah, that's Vivaldi.
Well there's a lot of "conservative" aka right-wing American complaints about twitter silencing their voices for political reasons, some of them are just trolls who were being jerks bellyaching, but some do have a scent of legitimacy to me. It's all gray area really, personally you can read about some of the people banned on that list (cntl-f "conservative" = 24 results) or the NY post situation if you like and decide for yourself.

I personally think these media platforms are evolving policies that will be enforced selectively (e.g. NYpost account frozen for writing a story involving "hacked" materials) based on the bias of the people enforcing the rules (well that's really a violation of our policies, but that other post isn't because of nuance, that nuance really just a reflection of bias in either the classifier, or human being making final judgement call).
Our laws of physics are space partitioned so the algorithm for simulating it isn't exponential.

If the containing universe has like 21 dimensions and otherwise have similar tech computers as we do today then you should be able to simulate it on a datacenter just fine as computation ability grows exponentially with number of dimensions. 3 dimensions you have 2 dimensions of computation surface, 21 dimensions and you have 20 dimensions of computation surface, so our current computation to the power of 10. GPT3 used more than a petaflop real time compute during training, so 10 to the power of 15. Using the same hardware in our fictive universe would give us 10 to the power of 150 flops. We estimate atoms in the universe to be about 10 to the power of 80, with this computer we would have 10 to the power of 70 flops of compute per atom, that should be enough even if entanglement gets a bit messy. We have around that much memory per atom as well, so can compute a lot of small boxes and sum over all of it etc, to emulate particle waves. We wouldn't be able to detect computational anomalies on that small scale, so we can't say that there isn't such a computer emulating us.
i've often thought that a lot of racial disharmony could be resolved if we could try on each other's skins for a minute. i suppose this is the closest we have to such a thing.

maybe the vr metaverse will be useful after all?
I’ve seen it all over the place, starting with my parents.

I guess using the warning lights as a “thanks” would be uncommon though, since it’s actually illegal. ;-)
Add to that "X website would like to know your location" which Chrome seems to have built in the most annoying way possible for users.
Maybe the author's writing style is too terse for you, but I really think you are missing the boat on what he's saying.

> It's not that it's better, simply that it's more stimulating, to the point of usurping the correct stimulant.

By "better" he means exactly more positively stimulating. He's not saying it's morally superior. Our brains do instinctively perceive junk food as "better" than other food. That's why it takes so much willpower to not eat it all the time. It's why we "crave" it.

> But, according to this blogger, I can disprove that by asserting, "Porn can't be a superstimulant because if it were, people would routinely make themselves sexy to others by inviting them to watch porn videos."

I don't think this analogy holds together. If they are watching porn, they aren't finding you sexy any more than sitting a Big Mac on the plate next to the blanched kale makes the latter any more appealing. We do see that people increasingly take cues from porn and expect their real sexual partners to behave that way and have completely unrealistic, unhealthy expectations of what actual sex is like.

> Many people would judge a party where music is playing to be more stimulating and pleasurable than a party where there is just conversation taking place.

Yes, but the whole point is why? Why don't we attend parties with no background sound? That makes it easier to hear the people you are conversing with, which is clearly superior. Or, if it's because our brain enjoys the stimulus of speech, why don't we put on podcasts and documentaries during our parties?

> But that's true for the same reason that people don't normally recite limericks to each other in the place of normal speech. Songs (and limericks) are not meant to be forms of spontaneous communication.

Right. And if they aren't that... why do they exist?

> I mean, what he's calling "music" is music+lyrics, in any case. Is he asserting that reciting the lyrics without the accompanying music would enable listeners to ascertain the truth value? Or that just the accompanying music, without the lyrics, is not a ("negative") superstimulant?

He mentions lyrics, but his claim is not specific to lyrical music. He's asserting that music lyrics without music (i.e. spoken word) encourages the user to listen to it and think critically about its truth value instead of just implicitly taking it in. The more a piece of audio is musical and not lyrical, the less it triggers that response and the more comfortable we are simply perceiving it uncritically and emotionally.
> wasn’t able to make caliber-web docker work

I done through this route before. From the best of my crappy memory, you need to make sure that you create calibre library before starting the web part. You would have to do it through the standalone app.

And for docker, it kinda a fickle from I remember. you have to bind the calibre-web to your local calibre library folder. You need to enable the docker to access to that folder. It took me multiple guides to understand how to make this works.
Because of shear dollar amount. Let's say on trade, you can sell your car to a dealership for $8000. Privately, maybe you can get $10000 or 10,500. Now, of course, $2,500 is not nothing but for some people, that is a trade they're willing to make to simply get the car off of their hands rather than go thru with a full-scale private sale process.

On the other hand, for a house that you could sell "instantly" for, say, $450,000, but that you could potentially get by selling privately for $480,000 or $500,000, that is now leaving 10 times more dollars on the table. Proportionally, the difference between the car and the house might be similar but in absolute dollars, it's a huge difference.
Did anyone tell them? Maybe they just didn't know how
Absolutely feel this. As my own kids grow up I think over decisions my parents made (missed events and cancelled vacations over extremely low-stakes work issues) and feel more and more alienated from their way of thinking.
> I also can't help myself but point out that it is very bad to extrapolate from a sample of outliers.

Try framing it like this: foreign correspondents. They are from your culture and are able to describe the nub of what its like to be in country x and watch them do something foreign to you.

because they have experienced both things first hand they are able to describe vividly and concisely the differences and attempt to find a cause.
I think you're wrong about that even in the general sense --- that I don't believe we even need what DNSSEC is trying to accomplish, even if we had a sane design to do it. And I strenuously disagree that the DNSSEC design we have today --- DNSSEC-ter? DNSSEC-quater? --- has a positive risk/benefit. I think we will all be worse off in the unlikely event that it's adopted; we'll be worse off even in the best case of universal adoption where nothing goes wrong except that we're all locked into RSA and ECDSA P-Curve signatures, and I think there are much worse things that are likely to happen.

But I'll do my best to disagree more respectfully! I missed the mark badly downthread, and I'm sorry for that.
it does. that’s just how long chromium takes.
Thanks for the feedback. Our icon is a tiny Golden Spiral, which is one of the most common examples of the intersection between art and math. It's a little quirky, and it brings our team a lot of joy, so I like it a lot.

P.S. there are a lot of good Golden Spiral/Golden Ratio memes [0] out there. If you have one that you like, feel free to share it with me

I wonder if they are going to add picture OCR... And how this could be gamed...
And we especially do not want to talk about our issues with health care professionals.

There's an enormous amount of truth to the "men will do ____ instead of going to therapy" meme.
> But, I keep seeing these messages that there is something wrong with me for not wanting to create or participate in these types of things.

I didn't see a single sentence in the article-- explicit or implicit-- that made me think the author would find something wrong with someone who doesn't feel the need to utilize such a space.

In fact I'm having a hard time figuring out what could have prompted you to write that sentence.

Digression-- for some reason it reminds me of a friend of mine who said when they moved into an apartment the landlord who was insistent about never putting noodles down the drain of the sink. My friend agreed he would never do that. Then one day when there was a leak in the kitchen sink he called the landlord, who immediately yelled back, "You didn't put any noodles down there, did you?" He assured the landlord that indeed, he had not put any noodles down the drain to cause the leak.

Anyway, I never found out what exactly happened with noodles and drains to cause his landlord to start any and all conversations with that directive. (It was an apartment complex near a university, so the equation most likely involves ramen plus a group of drunk college students.)
These days I work on a team at Google that provides distributed build infrastructure for non-Google3 projects, including goma. But unfortunately it's not available to the outside world, despite being built with that in mind.
As I said, I notice this in home movies, so I know for my own family this is the case. Because it's consistent with actual movies and TV programs, and it's ubiquitous across all of them, I cannot see how it could be something non-natural.

We know accents change over time. Just listen to radio from the 30s or 50s to hear changes between then and the 70s or 80s. Then again to now. This is a human phenomena, and not one that would be isolated to just the US. However, for both Canada and the US immigrants should have an outsized impact on accent shifts compared to populations that are more stable.

I'm curious to know the impetus for the change over time.
I have a group of close knit good friends, but when it came to helping me with mental health in a crisis, they were all absolutely clueless.

Not harmful, but clueless nonetheless. To their credit, they tried to be either supportive or to avoid the subject, so it was at least a relief in that sense.

I chose to seek a professional therapist instead (which helped significantly after a few months)
Sure but the Firefox interface is just so horrible. I've tried to switch at least three times in the past two years and after about two weeks I just throw my hands up go back to Chrome.
Similarly, cracking knuckles was a mystery until Dr. Adrien Flatt (hand surgeon, U of Iowa) took scans of a knuckle being 'cracked'. It was bubbles in the joint fluid being squeezed out of the compressed joint back into solution.

Hey! I wonder if that action produces similar accelerations?
Making Typora theme should be easily doable. I made windows 98/2000 theme for it. It's not perfect, but good enough. Typora already looks lighter than Obsidian i think mainly because it lacks modern fancy animations and zoomed in interfaces which are signatures of all modern interfaces (android 12, windows 11 etc).
I mean sure, it's (probably) not an internet connection, but Bluetooth and an IR remote aren't really comparable. Bluetooth exchanges information in both directions, IR does not. Bluetooth works from hundreds of feet away (or more) with no line of site, an IR remote does not. Bluetooth allows for broadcasting arbitrary content to my TV, an IR remote can only change the channel. Given the relative complexities I'm also far more concerned about a security vulnerability existing in the never updated random Bluetooth module/drivers in the TV than an IR receiver that emulates button presses.
Yup.

Heck, even if I borrow a friends tool, I give it back in at least as good shape as I got it (e.g., clean and add more fuel), and along with a gift like a gift card for a dinner, etc.
For a technical podcast they're not very helpful but they are funny. Does a human curate them? I'm genuinely curious how automatic or otherwise they are now.

And thanks for trying. Realistically alas being snarky at each other is unlikely to make any difference to whether DNSSEC is more or less successful. Otherwise presumably many of the things we both agree are a good idea would long since be universal...
Why is it the case?

That sounds like a political
decision and not a technical one.

Looking at the gallery, the images I'm interested in seem to be built/uploaded by a different entity. Which is not great.
While the README doesn't mention it, there are compiled releases on github.
If you think that the CEO of a company can just do whatever they like then you haven't run a company.

If you attempt to do things that the employees do not want to do then your company will turn to shit. People will leave, and those that remain will have terrible productivity.

Yes, you get some "Just do as I say" points, but you have to choose where to spend them very wisely.
Netflix is paying to have the button on the remote? I actually thought it would be the other way around.
If Zillow had "figured it all out" on solving the magic pricing problem, they could have put the entire appraisal industry out of business. Well, guess what, they didn't and they didn't even come close.
On the other hand, self-publishing a single book is potentially quite far away from being a professional author.
We cull deer populations (etc) so they don't run out of resources but fail to see any connection to our environmental concerns. Not advocating for culling people, but certainly the footprint we have deemed necessary.

Endless growth isn't possible but most economic systems demand that it happen.

Nothing remarkable about anything here. The machine respects people as much as it respects. the environment; it doesn't.
To be fair, it's a "holy Grail" of the very niche field of photonics. On the other hand, the lack of easily-integrated lasers has been a major hurdle to photonics becoming anything other than a niche field.

After all, the first transistor wasn't remotely competitive with existing vacuum diodes in use at the time.
I think it would have worked out as a federal structure, yes, a high degree of regional autonomy, with a shared economy, military and foreign policy.
Compare to before, where the only voices you heard where ones that were allowed by a hand full of media execs.
I won't argue against the complaints you have with Mac, i have some of the same and many others do.

I just think there genuinely IS a tension between open source/software freedom and great software. For an example, read about the recent case of Streamlabs. They stole the OBS code and rebranded it a little, copied the webpage down to the layout, but did not disclose any of that. They made tons of money and got acquired by Logitech. The people there successfully used the fact that OBS open sourced everything to steal their work and got rich off it. If Apple open sources their entire OS, why wouldn't the same thing happen? If that did happen, who pays for all the maintenance and new features on Mac? just recently I found a certain Mac OS app that sells pretty well. On decompiling it I found it was just an old open source command line utility, the dev literally threw in the binary and packaged it into an app. This was not disclosed anywhere of course. I've seen many, many examples of this across SaaS and other products - they take some free code, do nothing but repackage it and brand it, keep the profit and give nothing back to the creators.

I would love if MacOS was open source and I could fix any OS/software when i hit a use case it doesn't solve well for me. If there was in theory a way to open source code without letting cheaters use it that would be great. But if piracy is easy then people default to it. No one paid for WinRAR back in the day and if we just let that model continue, 80% of the IT industry today wouldn't exist. Like i just see the entire ecosystem and industry with all the amazing technology we have now compared to the 90s was born partly because we found ways to charge for stuff and cut out freeloaders. No one on HN asks for a lower salary and we get these salaries _because_ these models prevent theft. So closed source is a compromise to a tough problem - im okay with that. I think the huge leaps sometimes take a LOT of money to build - say Apple designing and researching and paying to manufacture touchscreens for a decade before ever selling the first iPhone, or Amazon buying a billion servers to build the cloud, and I don't know if they would exist if they never got paid for the stuff they built.
I worked with Susan at three different companies and never really noticed an accent. Perhaps I am too familiar with her voice? What I do hear is a highly educated and thoughtful person who carefully articulates her thoughts.
Isn't patriarchy the idea that men are in charge and superior to women?
It's worth noting that this by itself is a reason not to do ambitious security things (and a global PKI is nothing if not ambitious) at the layer of DNS. It's an extension of the end-to-end argument, or at least of the the logic used in the Saltzer and Reed paper: because it's difficult and error-prone to deploy policy code in the core of the network (here: the "conceptual" core of the protocol stack), we should work to get that policy further up the stack and closer to the applications that actually care about that policy.

The Saltzer and Reed paper, if I'm remembering right, even calls out security as specifically one of those things you don't want to be doing in the middle of the network.

As a published technical author, if you believe that your self-published book will be "an essential input into [your] way of making a living", then I have some really sad news for you...
There is an excellent documentary on the Boeing 787 on Amazon Prime Video. Very detailed on how it is built, what materials, engines, everything.

It's called "The Great Boeing 787"
I didn't think I could think less of the military than I already did, then I read about the f-35
Your analysis does not break out of the well known box that is the classical ways of analyzing the security of a computer system (it actually creeps into DRM/TPM territory which is known insecure despite governments with guns). Thus the security of "AI" algorithms remains as insecure as it already was, and should not be used for anything that needs to be secure. If anything, the people who make critical infrastructure insecure should go to prison (after education is reformed to actually teach these basic problems). Your example is like how typical american citizens get their panties in a bunch and throw you in jail for 5000 years if you fake your identity, but this is only because they have build such insecure systems that comeletely break down once this happened. And this is yet another thing not fixed by policing. Sorry not sorry if I sound rude. You are basically asking me to go to jail so you can use some convenient AI consumer tech in lieu of proper solutions for stuff like authentication, court systems, and car driving (and all the other thing the wackos want to replace with AI).
Counter take: did Kernighan and Williams made a profit from their self published books? If yes, why do you want to monday morning quarterback them?

They may have made more profit from hiring an editor, or engaging in regular book publication, but that's not 100% guaranteed.

Also, they may have self-published just for fun.

There's more than one way to do it, and I don't think we're qualified to judge ex-post if what Brian Kernighan chose to share his memoirs was the best way.
Unfortunately we can't just add this as a registry-mirrors in the docker daemon.json which means we still need to write all our Dockerfile's/build processes/container image selection to use the new ECR image URL, which is a shame.

Google supports this within GCP: https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/pulling-cac... which makes it easy to avoid going all the way to Docker Hub for images.
It doesn't matter if Safari "wins" if all other players "required" Chrome browsers.

No "machine learning" model can successfully peer into the inside of the home, and in the walls, or in the plumbing, to get an accurate sense of the worth of the home because no machine learning model would have that information. It isn't available until you actually go and look, with real human eyes, into the house.

No pricing model will ever get this right.
Not GP, I am a Gentoo user that compiles ungoogled-chromium from source. I have a 16-core AMD CPU.

Despite that, it takes 4-8 hours to compile, due to two factors: 40,000+ separate targets, of which most are C++ files (famously slow to compile anyway).

And yes, 40,000+ separate targets is no exaggeration; ninja's first run claims about 18,000 targets, and after it finishes those, it generates a second ninja file that has to compile 23,000 targets.

I personally think it's worth it. Others may disagree, and I can't blame them. I have to run it overnight.
