Agreed. I definitely take the government less seriously now. And I was a socialist before this happened. But there must be a balance. Especially the first lockdown when we needed a piece of paper with a reason to go out.

I know some measures were needed but the heavy-handedness was crazy and in some ways still is. If it had been ebola on the loose I would have understood. Especially now that most of us are vaccinated (yes me too).

It made me do more risky things like get a tattoo which I've always kinda wanted, and not really care about seatbelts anymore. For me the reason is mainly that I don't care as much for the quality of life that's left now with masks and QR codes and constant vigilance so I don't really care as much if I'd die in a car crash.

But I'm not sure if that reasoning applies to everyone. But I think it's also that we can't care about so many things all the time. They added a huge load of new things to worry about and I think it's natural that others will suffer. Like road safety and the environment.
Cool! Reminded me of playing trumpet. But with trumpet, the 3 valves do -2, -1, -3 semitones. And by adjusting your lips you can play 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x etc the fundamental frequency. So e.g. all 3 valves down together makes -6. The Bb below middle C is 2x the fundamental, and with the valves you can get down from there by semitones to E, -6, the lowest note of the trumpet range. And having valves 1 + 2 = valve 3, there are multiple ways of playing almost every note, which comes in very handy when playing fast.

So maybe having keys for -2, -1 and -3, and possibly using the mouse wheel to control multiples of frequency, would make a playable trumpety experience. Maybe pressing the mouse button while doing all that could actually sound the note. Because you need to be able to stop and start notes without moving the valve fingers. (Also on trumpet you can control volume and vibrato and pitch bend with your mouth.. and also do small pitch bends and change timbre by partially pressing the valves down..)

The real pain is you have no way to sort out the reason of crash. Without ecc, you don't know whether it is the driver you installed last day cause the crash, or the memory itself. Or even driver installed yesterday used the broken region of the memory. Who knows? And memtest won't even come close to 100% reproduce the problem. If it happens continually, then it probably work. For for something that probably crash 1 in a month? No, unless you are lucky enough. And that happen all the time if you overclock. That is basically why ddrm5 mandate in memory ecc. Because in that high frequency, data corruption is more likely to happen.
Hate to admit this but when I was opioid dependent I would eat copious amount of grapefruits to make the pills more potent. I could never tell the difference
Square Enix still has new copies of the PS1 version of Final Fantasy 9 on their web store. They used to have more PS1 FF titles but I guess they finally stopped printing them sometime in the last couple years. I doubt Nintendo made an N64 cart post 2003. CDs are just so dirt cheap to print that it made sense to keep printing big seller 20 years on.

PS1 rendering also has a bit more charm than N64 with its affine texture warping. N64 was just blurry.
Apple is arbitrarily vulnerable to the CCP who can essentially shut down most of Apple’s worldwide manufacturing if it comes to that.

Until Apple has a redundant supply and manufacturing chain, it’s absurd to expect them to resist the CCP.

I hope they are building it.
They still maintain a rather large office in the university neighbourhood in Beijing. They even moved to bigger one few years back and there was a fire [0]. In Andrew Blum’s book Google is quotes to even “have left a couple of boxes there”, referring to network equipment. They have not really ‘left’.

I try to be as open minded as possible. I fully accept that web3 has enough people who are thrashing about that it’s not likely to disappear, and they may even find a usecase.

But I despise people who pontificate with obviously zero experience about incredibly complex topics like rates markets. I spent most of my career as a hedge fund trader, and it boils my blood when people with zero experience speak with authority.

And this coming from a person who has just spent the past few months building an enterprise oracle network. I’m not against crypto, but just don’t misrepresent so called “legacy” solutions because anyone with actual knowledge will eviscerate your argument.
Rewrote the entirety of it, added most of the new features for the web over more than a decade?

Or do you believe chromium is also “just a fork of khtml”?
Yeah, I'm familiar with the FSF's philosophy. Limiting freedom in order to protect it. No thanks.

It leads to exactly the sort of problem pointed out by the GGGGP comment - Apple shipping an ancient version of bash because of license incompatibility. Apple cannot open source all of their software. They'd go out of business. So instead we have GNU folks high-fiving because they stopped Apple from using their work without giving back, but millions of users are also prevented from using their work.

That just means you don’t know about China and the CCP. Anyone who did would never ‘automatically’ assume such a thing.

As for being a shareholder kept in the dark, that’s absurd. I am a shareholder too, and almost no operational details about apple are available to us, which is totally normal.
Why engage in discussions when semantics does not matter?
It's not about "likelihood", it's about being able to trust the hardware. The CPU running in your system probably has ECC protected caches, and many RAS features that happen to be designed in because most CPU vendors design the features into their cores that are shared between consumer gear and enterprise servers. These features are a necessary part of building hardware that can be trusted with atomic scale features.

Furthermore, your comment reads like someone that has never spent weeks debugging issues that only happen under extreme load stress tests. A single marginal bit is not so simple to track down when memory allocation patterns are non-deterministic. I have no desire to go through that again if it can be avoided by spending an extra $20 per DIMM. My time is worth more than that. Hardware is not perfect, and anyone who trusts hardware blindly should really take a look at what's going on behind the curtain.

Fwiw, the nature of DRAM errors is different now compared to the studies published decades ago when cosmic rays would only disturb a single cell. These days minute physical manufacturing defects and electrical disturbances are the dominant failure modes. Educate yourself: read the papers published about row hammer. Hammering a row with reads can flip bits in adjacent rows, and even DRAMs that have supposed mitigation features can suffer from disturbances a row or two further away. It has already been proven that the DRAM vendors' hardware cannot be trusted! What more proof do you need that this is a real world requirement in 2021?
I'd be curious to know how costly or inefficient it would be to just have a counter where you ordered and paid and were handed your stuff from the back. That would eliminate theft, but they'd need more staff to keep throughout and would probably sell less per customer, and I dont know what it would do to brands. Do you ask for bandaids or name brand adhesive bandages or what? Anyway, I assume they must think that even with theft the present system is better.
The key word there is "received". He didn't buy stock himself, he was given it, he is a wage worker.

He is purely out for his own wealth. He is one of the most absurdly overpaid execs in the US. How anyone can become a billionaire as an employee is utterly beyond me. Taking no risk, getting all the reward.
Imagine getting an email from Apple telling you that you're laid off because you job is less important than sending a stern message to China. Apple then loses billions of dollars of revenue to Huawei and Xiaomi, but can you really place a price on feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside?

If you want to control what maps Apple shows in China, then ask the government to do it. Assuming you can convince Congress to do anything at all, they still wouldn't take any meaningful action against China because they aren't going to voluntarily widen our trade deficit. We barely have enough economic leverage to pressure them to be slightly better at enforcing IP. We aren't going to spare any for meaningless virtue signaling.

> It would be interesting to talk about what organizations like Apple can and cannot do; what is effective and what isn't. Is there any research?

It took extreme sanctions and the most sophisticated cyberattack in history to get Iran to make concessions on its nuclear program (until Trump decided to reject the agreement). China has a much stronger economy and more allies.

It basically bundles iPXE which allows one to boot over the network including ethernet and I think WiFi although WiFi depends on drivers. It downloads an bootable image and chain boots into it.

We used in our ML data center to iterate on our NixOS images meaning we could push out updates to the underlying OS and then just trigger a restart via IPMI and make it download the new images.

Note that we didn't end up using netboot at the end, we just use iPXE directly.

Right, but you're still focusing on the capitol building. If that's all that people perceived to have happened then they really weren't paying much attention.
Since you were level headed enough to make this comment, don't you think some introspection is in order? Come on now. Mask Requirement -> Might as well die in a car crash, that doesn't sound particularly sane.

Yup. I did some hacking on khtml before Apple's announcement in my attempt to make the early 2000s the year of the Linux desktop. To be fair, every browser engine was kind of a mess at that time because everyone was trying to reverse engineer IE (or gecko's) undocumented quirks.

The DOM implementation in khtml was particularly well done. I remember one of the major things Apple did was rewrite kjs (into JavaScriptCore), but from what I recall, it wasn't like they did a complete overhaul of khtml right away.

One thing to consider is that Apple, unlike the khtml project, had a lot more power to steer web standards and that tended to clean up browser impls.

It's a shame that Apple decided to have a pretty arcane development process for Webkit, it was not what people expected when they announced Webkit.
Ahhhhh, thanks. So would this mean we could, instead of replacing entire joints, just replace the cartilage, leading to a much faster recovery?
DDR4-3200 is already fairly slow for a new system -- DDR4-3600 f.e. aligns with the 1800 MHz Fabric Clock in Ryzen 3 and makes a not insubstantial difference in performance, and (non-ECC-wise) is not expensive.

I have a feeling the cost is not just a money-wise 5-10%.
Saturday Night Live has had at least six Harvard writers, weaned from the Harvard Lampoon.
Yes crypto is attempting to shrug off at least a century of regulations that have made the world as stable as it is. If crypto ethnusiasts had their way we’d go back to the 1800s where we had a depression every generation and inflation jumped between 1 and 20% depending on the year. Most of these people don’t have a clue about finance and the ones that due have ulterior motives
so how is this going to work out for apple? will the CCP start making bigger and bigger demands?
The observable universe is of finite mass and size, while the total universe is of infinite or finite mass and size. On a macro scale, the total universe probably looks similar. It's definitely not micro homogeneous or entropy would be infinite and heat death would have already occurred. Heat death won't be the biggest problem because of the likelihood of the Big Rip.
Well what I didn't mention is that I had a childhood illness that caused me to almost suffocate several times. Because of this I'm extremely sensitive to anything interfering with my respiration and especially high humidity (because the treatment involved breathing steam).

For me it feels awful to wear a mask and gives me constant anxiety, especially after an hour or so. Once the situation is more stable I want to move to a place that doesn't mandate them but it is a big worry and uncertainty and that makes me depressed.

Anyway it's kind of personal that's why I didn't mention this. I wear the mask where needed but I'm afraid they will become the norm because that would really hurt me. I feel left out of society. But I think other people do too, just with different specifics.

I also said I cared less. It's not that I don't care at all. It just shifted things down a bit on the scale of importance if you know what I mean. Before I would wear a seatbelt even when parking the car around the block, now I wouldn't bother. For a longer trip I still would.
You can pretend it doesn't make a difference, but restricting people is not "free". That's the whole point of the article - make peoples lives worse and take away their agency and they will act accordingly. Repeating "it's not a big deal" about the restrictions doesn't change anything
Some admittedly silly examples of monopolies that fit the definition you’re saying. I know some one on HN before posted a much better example. I can’t recall it now.

Foursquare’s Swarm has a monopoly on social network checking in to places with optional photos + logged notes.

Tiago Forte has dominance in courses/in depth, varied content on building a second brain.

Readwise.io has dominance in spaced repetition learning from synced data.

There’s only one or two sites/communities for my personality disorder that doesn’t get much attention. They dominate the market.

There’s only one app that has you put up money for habits/challenges you complete via video selfies. Spar App (side note: horrible ownership/stewards of the app)

There was previously one community forum for video game site owners.

[almost] all of these have [near] 100% of their market. I don’t believe people would consider any of them monopolies.
I disagree. You can learn the semantics of C in a day, assembly requires a ton more memorization and a ton more code to write. C is more abstract that assembly but it is less complicated, on its face, than assembly or rust.
There are plenty of times when you’re processing data where you load what is a runtime constant value but not a compile time constant.

I mean the extreme case is obviously a scripting language , where lowering to multiplication may well be possible.

That said you are correct in a JIT being vastly more heavyweight than most cases would need - but mostly due to the cost of making an indirect call rather than the cost of the jit itself
I wonder if the FBI did that for free or if they charged a fee for the service.

> The probability that the election was fraudulent is in question.

No, it's not. There has been nothing but hot air on this, I've followed it closely, there is no evidence of fraud.

> Though also from his own mouth he has the most extensive voting fraud org.

Oh jesus, that was a quote about a voter protection program taken out of context, this is stupid. You accuse me of not seeing the bigger picture and then you use a meme as evidence.

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact-check-biden-voter-pr...

> It says the republicans as a whole saw the election was fraudulent

Republicans saw fraud because their leaders have lied to them, over and over again. They think voting rules need to be fixed because their leaders have, absent any evidence at all, repeatedly lied to them about fraud that they once again, have no evidence for.

The republican party have gone off the rails and Trump explicitly attempted to overturn the democratic process.
Thank you for your sharing!
That’s not exactly true. They’re not based on Safari, they ARE Safari. The browser maker controls the chrome and can add some kids of features (bookmark/history sync, password management/etc.) but they can’t modify the rendering engine outside of any hooks Apple provides them.

It’s not like when Google forked WebKit to make Chrome on the desktop and could truly modify it. On iOS you can’t add new tags or syntax, as a simple example.

I know C and can get by in Rust and I disagree that rust is easier to follow. C is a simple language, the complexity comes from large systems, while Rust is just not.

> Solving human issues (eg laws), requires human solutions, not pseudo-technological ideas.

Disagree with this general viewpoint. For example I think NYC Yellow Cab laws were antiquated, rent-seeking, and anti-consumer. App-based ridesharing tech, not human politics, changed that equilibrium.

Technology disrupts pre-existing rules, laws and regulations all the time. In most cases it's a net positive for humanity. Not saying all regulation is bad, but if regulations an be easily disrupted by tech, then usually it's sclerotic and outdated.
Meritocracy isn’t a thing. The person who coined it was rightfully mocking society. The recent 2019 Meritocracy Trap book goes further into this.

Your explanation is not “meritocratic”. The wealthy and powerful largely stay on top with the nuance you provided. The popular have more popular. are able to make what they link to more powerful and thus more popular. There is no meritocracy there.
What? I’m saying the local government does effect you in every way while it doesn’t effect people in your online community

The most painful case I had was actually bad memory in a FIFO in an ethernet switch. A few months before one of the Red Hat releases, IT had installed a brand new shiny enterpricey Ethernet switch with lots of line cards and many ports. This was one of the early VLAN capable switches. During the release validation cycle, QA found that one of our stress test workloads was occasionally failing with single bit flips in filesystem data from time to time.

Being kernel developers, we were majorly concerned. There were lots of changes to filesystem, VM and other parts of the kernel, and we couldn't rule out that we had a bug where code was using a stray pointer or some other problem. The stress tests had successfully passed last release...

Ultimately we tracked it down to network data being corrupted. The shiny new ethernet switch was rarely flipping a bit in packets, then happily fixing up the packet's CRC and IP checksum so that the computers on either end of the network link had no idea that the data was mangled in the network fabric. Oh the hours of brain wracking pain that caused!
Started with 9.x here (I don't remember which 'x'), and I agree wholeheartedly.

I use it both as a desktop and on my personal servers (most of them). Also used it in professional capacity in the past.
There's several problems with centralized web service corporations maintaining effectively public commons on for-profit "private property" and being regulated by one government or another: they can do anything they want if they don't offend the government structures, they're also at the behest and service of a particular government who can tell them what they can and can't do, they're not classified or regulated as utilities, and can censor any idea or push whatever agendas they like (or whoever pays them enough).

Only a nonprofit out-of-reach of any particular governments' jurisdiction can remain neutral, but they also need minimal, clear, healthy, and conscientious moderation to not be springboards for harmful activities.
Nobody is prevented from using newer versions of Bash. They just don't ship from Apple.
