iPhones are definitely aimed at the more discerning, up-market customer. Android meanwhile is for the mass-market.

iPhones have four levels of encryption designed to thwart the likes of the FBI trying to get data out of your confiscated phones. Androids have a checkbox tick that basically says "Encryption: Yes".

iPhones have 1000-nit OLED HDR screens that are colour-managed and calibrated out of the box, and have Dolby Vision HDR system-wide.

Etc, etc...

iPhones are for people that actually care about their privacy, aren't blind, and appreciate the "small touches". Androids are for people that don't mind factory-installed crapware, as long as it's cheap.
Was gonna post the same recommendation! I've been lucky to add a couple of contributions to the lyrics plugin. The project is maintained by a lovely CS professor who really puts in a lot of time and effort. I've been using it for a couple of years now and it fits perfectly in my music pipeline. Great project!

In about 20 years of sailing I think I've seen just-about everything. Most recreational power boat owners have no clue what they are doing. I had took classes for about two years, all the way to celestial navigation and various boat handling classes. After a while you understand that you can't assume anyone is going to do what the rules say, so you sail defensively and give as much space as you can.

I once had a 30+ foot power boat head straight for me while I was on a kayak within the harbor. This was all at slow speed. The guy just didn't care and likely had no clue that I had the right of way. I got the harbor master involved. I had it all on video. They came down very hard on them. They actually told him that, at the extreme, they could bring him up on attempted murder or assault charges. It was that bad.
> I am not trying to be mean either when I say this; but I pray my children aren’t horrible little goblins such as yourself.

I also pointed out you should maximize knowledge, culture, spirituality.

Since you mentioned God, perhaps you're aware of Proverbs 13:12

> A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.

There are many such quotes. What is wealth creation, but a measure of ones value to society?

I never claimed you shouldn't be charitable, inspirational or helpful to others. If I make a wonderful widget, sell trillions of dollars and then help create a corporation to cure cancer making more trillions is that "selfish", perhaps! But wouldn't that be better to society?

At the end of the day, everyone is equally selfish, even those who claim to be altruists -- they do it to make themselves feel good. You're doing things for your reasons, but your doing it for yourself.

I hope you evaluate what truly is valuable. I don't think there's a correct answer here, but calling someone a goblin is beneath you.
> Sugary, salty and fatty foods are consistently rated by typical people as more tasty than foods without them

Sweet, salty and/or fatty tastes form a pretty solid basis for many delicious snacks/hors d'oeuvres/desserts - highbrow or lowbrow - though I personally like tangy as well as textures like crunchy, creamy, chewy, spongy; and sometimes other tastes like bitter, savory, or piquant as well. These are tastes that humans (and other creatures) have developed and retained over thousands of years.

Omitting sweet/salty/creamy greatly reduces the scope of cuisine.

>> In Teslas, the hood covers a storage space, and both both the primary and secondary latch are electrically controlled. It's not some big dumb spring-loaded hook. So it's higher risk for failure.

Yeah, I interviewed at a company that had a frunk module in development. I was initially puzzled as to why they wanted the full ASIL treatment for a basic actuator until it hit me that failure in this case means the hood can open while driving. I know its cool to have auto open and close on everything, but IMHO just leave the 2nd big dumb latch in the front.
The dilution happened when the options pool was expanded years ago.
If people were focused on their own privileges you’d see concrete examples. The parts of the article talking about green cards is a good example of this. Straight white male (and now add cis, able bodied, etc, etc, etc) used as a talismanic phrase is not focusing on your own privileges. It’s just creating a scapegoat and letting everyone that doesn’t match every last adjective off the hook.

"Now, "rights" can be created by law, but those are a different meaning of the word."

I read a few of your posts, and it felt like reading the old testament - full of self contradictions, the only constant is you don't like 'government'.

You seem to have little regard for the fact that your countrymen have laid down their lives for your rights. The only reason we don't have 'Divine right of Kings' is because we cut off their heads, and we don't have slavery because those that support it have been shot or convinced at gunpoint. Women have the right to vote because they invented the letter bomb and burned down houses of MPs that voted against them.

Every right you enjoy, from a fair trial to your very freedom, has been won in blood and while you pontificate about 'unexpected, marvelous free market' (which existed for thousands of years, Kongō Gumi was incorporated in 578 CE) society becomes more polarized and likelihood we will resort to good old ways of settling differences increases.
Let's say I'm viewing a webpage, and I'm curious about some aspect of how it's implemented. I click "view source", and see something that isn't supposed to be there. Is the conclusion "whoops, guess I'm a criminal now"? Shouldn't there be some way for people to avoid committing a crime besides knowing in advance that a website is going to send them private data?

You could say, "obviously stumbling across the data is fine, as long as you then responsibly report the issue, or ignore it and go on with your day. It's only illegal if you then go on to do nefarious things with it." But this is exactly what the current system is failing at by prosecuting this reporter.

Getting the hacking issue right should not be this hard. In practice, it's pretty obvious what's hacking/unauthorized access and what isn't.

In the hacking category:
SQL injection.
Breaking DES.
Cross site scripting attacks.
Tracking cookies and browser fingerprinting, arguably.

In the not-hacking category:
Incrementing integers in the URL.
"Breaking" rot13.
Using "view source".
This, to me, is a general problem with a purely quantified, metrics driven approach to management, not just limited to NPS. I'm not demonizing these approaches, just saying that you have to balance humanity with data.

I like to look at this kind of thing as the one of the dark sides/dark patterns of using data for decisionmaking.

Qualitative measures are important, as is maintaining as much humanity as possible, to have a balanced and healthy culture. Being solely metrics/data driven can lead to cold, heartless, damaging culture (might be efficient or make profit, but very dehumanizing).
Daily drove mac for 5-7 years after a childhood of tinkering with Linux installs (no professional development) and falling in love with an AwesomeWM setup with custom keybinds.

After getting into professional dev during / after high school I ended up using Divvy for an OSX window manager. It wasn’t fantastic, but I could set up custom keybinds and it was “reminiscent” of those tiling WMs I found so much love for as a pre-adolescent.

I recently (2ish years ago) switched from mac to a Debian then eventually Pop OS setup for my daily driver development environment. While not as robust as a custom arch setup with a tiling WM like awesome, Mutter is quite good and everything PopOS offers out of the box has been fantastic. Perhaps one of these days I will find the time to dive back into arch and configure a _truly_ efficient and customized workstation / dev env :-)

It’s interesting to see all of these alternative, perhaps even _better_ / more robust / more FOSS friendly mac WMs being listed here. I’m keen on giving them a try whenever I end up back on a mac workstation, but I cannot deny that my Divvy lifetime license has served me incredibly well for years, with support through many big OS upgrades.
They're already using Blake2 in the kernel and ChaCha in the LKRNG itself, and Blake2 and ChaCha share components.
Nitpick but shouldn’t it be “Austrian ex-chancellor”? Or did he renounce his citizenship?

What's the actual conclusion of this article? Is it that "general purpose computing" (which is defined as...what exactly? This is an enormous space of programs!) is not as fast as specific, fully hardware accelerated computations? This is hardly surprising, no? Of course specific things can be optimized better than trying to simultaneously optimize every program under the sun

> Where is all the concern involving the fact that Peter Thiel was investing in a regime where there is a death penalty for being gay in the first place, why does that get a pass and all the concern falls on his supposed personal safety.

I don't believe gay people should be excluded from economic opportunity based on their sexuality or concerns for their sexuality, nor do they forfeit their right to safety or privacy. I don't personally think western countries or people should invest in or have close ties with Saudi, but I don't think those who do are automatically bad or wrong.

> This argument isn't about the fact that Saudi Arabia is ridiculously oppressive to gay people, it is about scoring points to make Peter Thiel look better.

Taking down bullies who oust gay people makes him look fine to me.
> Instead, address your concerns to the companies and the leadership that made those companies problematic in the first place.

Lol. Let me know how that goes for you.

Personally i wouldn't criticize someone for working at fb. FB is not a saint but its not nearly as evil as people make it out to be. However there is evil in this world, and people who work for them are culpable. Like if someone works for a randsomware group, i fully believe the employee is evil.

And yes, people do have reasons for staying at morally questionable job. If behaving morally didn't come at a cost everyone would do it.
> rights and laws are an agreed upon arrangement

I don't know why people say this.

It's just a fairy tale. Laws aren't agreed upon; they're initiated by conquest and continue through the establishment of institutions that preserve an occupation over generations.

There may be some kind of "democratic" process for public participation in law-making, but that's not the same thing as laws being "agreed upon."

There may be some kind of cultural process for raising children to accept the laws that existed and were put in place by adults before them, but even that's not the same thing as laws being "agreed upon."
No, but in the realm of interesting Jordan Peterson facts, I recently learned that him and Jim Keller are brothers in law.

> the correct way to think about our relationship to society

This right here is the problem. I'm very familiar with Simone Weil's ideas, and also the criticisms. Her entire philosophy can be reduced to "Ubuntu": We are who we are, because of who we all are.

The problem is that this doesn't follow with a free society. Or individual liberties. It's basically that the "individual freedom" is reduced to the lowest common denominator of what the society will comfortably tolerate. And that, by definition, is tyranny.
+1 for alacritty.

However now that I don’t daily drive mac as much, I’ve defaulted back to iTerm 2 for when I do happen to be doing something on my mac. The default configuration is quite good out of the box. All I really need to do post-install is get my beloved zsh + ohmyzsh plug-ins and I’m good to go :-)

And also my tmux dot files ;)
> It's by having a single value represent the time

I have limited experience dealing with human originated time references, but from my encounters, the various idiosyncratic forms of date storage often seem to arise out of an aversion to commit to well defined intervals of uncertainty / margins of error. Coercing people of limited mental bandwidth or interest beyond immediate gratification to go through the pain of constricting their mental models to time_t levels of precision seems to basically be a non-starter.
The classic European politician career path. See Schröder, Sarkozy, Fillon... They're almost as scummy as retired (Association) football players.
I once interned at a Navy lab that worked on what amounted to ray-tracing in non-visible and radio spectrum. They had just bought a ~$2M Convex C3800 vector supercomputer and I had to benchmark it with the Lawrence Livermore Loops - a set of benchmarks of varying vectorizability.

I also somehow lucked into having a SGI $50k Indigo2 as my desktop because no one else there wanted it. It was bought for visualizations that no one worked on. So I built and ran the LLL there too.

Well, our team's code was about 75-80% vectorizable, and on the similar LLL benchmarks the Indigo2 just crushed the Convex. The Convex didn't start winning until loops were >90% vectorizable.

People were pissed, but that led to a lot of SGIs being bought.
i have been an electric vehicle enthusiast and evangelist for more than a decade, well before anyone knew tesla or elon. i know everything about electric cars. i can state with total confidence that the hottest ambient temperature that a tesla might encounter would have precisely zero chance of causing the battery to overheat, let alone overheat to the point of creating thermal runaway.

I cannot speak for him, but to my mind, he's getting at the difference between being able to come up with an idea, and being able to explain it. If you've got a great idea, but you can't explain it so that others can understand it, it's unlikely to be used. Being able to explain yourself is a more useful skill, in more contexts, than any in depth knowledge of a particular problem space.

And that's before we get into navigating the political situation of getting ideas listened to. Knowing who to explain ideas to, and understanding how to learn their motivations are both important skills to navigating a social space like any company and team. And they are skills not usually taught during typical education in my experience.

In short, an idea is only as useful as the people who you can explain it to.
Stupid framing click bait. Honestly this site is better than this.
Didn’t they confirm over 600 homes burned? And the entire towns of Louisville and Superior evacuated (as well as a big hospital - Avista). That seems dangerous to me!
Developers are not hostile to their users, businesses are. To add to good points made in other posts (users are not customers, time to market is more important than polish): business does not serve customer's (expressed) needs, it serves customer's (revealed) buying behaviour. In other words, who cares if users say they are unhappy as long as the money is rolling in.
I used Crays under Unicos for quite a while and they weren't crummy at all... given a batch-oriented scientific workload.

Even though the memory management was antiquated, there was an enormous, fast swap device available on every vector Cray.
“Drastically lower” and “orders of magnitude” are not phrases to be rashly thrown around.

AI may hold the promise of faster, cheaper and better, but that remains to be proven by metrics applied to its implementation into existing business processes. Or at least fielded prototypes integrated into existing operations that demonstrate such dramatic improvements.

The graveyard of failed IT implementation is strewn with program corpses wrapped in winding sheets/business plans that promised “drastic” improvements.
The MBA playbook, if such a thing existed, would be to define “good salary” based on the market. I think OP is implying it was above market - above what the founders or other competitors would have paid.

Voting is different from actively supporting candidates. Outside of lower taxes [for corporations and the wealthy primarily], there is no overlap or rational link between libertarianism and actively supporting Trump.

If libertarians are actively and strongly supporting specific Republican figures like Thiel is. Politicians who have little to no objections and in fact at times expand the huge spending that is defense, general pork spending, social security, and Medicare. Politicians who don’t don’t even draw a hard line on government staying out of personal life and at times want to expand that (think forcing companies to not be allowed to have mask or vaccine rules or ruling on abortion). Thiel publicly supports these sorts of politicians. Not just quietly voting because of a weak two party system less evil situation. Then how are they libertarian? The definition doesn’t fit.

> argues BLAKE2s is twice as fast compared to SHA256.

That's for 16KiB inputs.

> One aspect switching from SHA1 to BLAKE2s does is it increases the total entropy a single compression operation adds to ChaCha20. This increases speed when folded BLAKE2s adds 128 bits per operation instead of folded SHA-1 that adds 80 bits.

But the question was why BLAKE2s instead of SHA-256, not SHA-1. SHA-256 has the same digest length as BLAKE2s.

Ok... and you think the people that don't know to check for ticks will know to get a Lyme vaccine? This doesn't seem logical to me. Most people in those environments know to check for ticks in my experience. The ones who don't are not the type to request a vaccine that they probably don't even know about.
IMHO it's not anyone else business to know why people would work in a certain place, as it is not people business to tell others what are they allowed to dislike paradoxically, i personally stopped seeing friends who went to work for Google and another for Facebook, are they free to do their things? am i free to non appreciate someone who actively support things that i consider evil?

There’s a big difference between choosing and publicly loudly and financially supporting said parties specific politicians like Trump who do not align at all except in one aspect (taxing the wealthy and corporations less). In this specific case it isn’t “don’t align very well”.

The best equivalent would be socialists strongly, publicly, and financially advocating for Hillary like Thiel to Trump in 2016. That didn’t happen.

A preemptive note: Bernie is a democratic socialist. That’s what he himself says he is. Not a socialist.

Stock options have an expiration date. A package of grants are expiring. When you exercise the options (buying the shares reserved for you at $x/ price of the stock when you were granted the options) you have to pay taxes on the delta between grant price and current market price. To cover the taxes you need cash, which requires selling shares. Net worth doesn’t mean liquid cash. He lives off loans against stock, of which loans on unrealized gains generally come due when options expire. The IRS would not look kindly on selling shares to pay loans but not taxes. Plus, if the stock tanked between exercise and a year from now, like you suggest, he’d be royally screwed. I don’t see the IRS giving him a year+ to get the cash to pay the bill.

Different things are different.

You vote for a candidate because you would prefer them to win. Which is possibly included among the reasons you would support them in other ways.

Many libertarians support Republicans.
