You absolutely need to use the correct sized screwdriver for the screw. And then make sure to press the screwdriver firmly into the screw while you turn so it can’t climb out.

You can get away with close enough or lower pressure if the screw is loose. If it is not, one size off and you’re asking for trouble.

If it seems like this is annoying, think of the screw as an interface. One typically works to comply with an interface’s specification, otherwise they likely get unexpected results.
Ah interesting. I always assumed running a basic app that keeps the Mac fully on work. Maybe I haven’t noticed this stuff not working. Maybe whichever app I used worked?

Yeah agree with SIP stuff. I don’t have that stuff turned on. Im on Catalina and Big Sur so I also have wanted stuff like you said and do that. However I completely agree with you. I expect at some point MacOS won’t let me even semi easily edit stuff like that. It’ll be like iOS which I jailbreak usually and then customize ssh etc. however iOS 15 also has newer SIP sort of things that now mean jailbreaking won’t be allowed to edit the root file system.

I was thinking the things that would be brought up would be random geeky sort of stuff. Like the plethora of apps I use on Mac (usually procrastinating) that let me do quite a bit without putting into much time. Like alt tab alternative app, using keyboard as much as possible, keyboard maestro and apple script for GUI automation, etc.

Not saying Linux can’t do all that. I was more thinking in situations like that are comparable.

I do want to try FreeBSD soon one day. Hopefully this will push me to prioritize that.

Oy. Your history is ... confused.

While the first draft was released in 1983, the first ratified C standard was in 1989.

The first edition of "The C Programming Language" (from which I first learned the language) was published in 1978, over a decade before the language was standardized.

You are correct that C89 added function prototypes. However, contrary to your implication, C borrowed the concept and syntax from C++.
Overnight is rather exaggerated.

GDPR (which the above case is about) was approved in 2016, became enforceable in 2018, the major legal case that provided that kind of interpretation landed in 2020, and now a concrete (very high profile) enforcement is actually happened in 2022.

> There is absolutely no way that the average consumer is going to succeed in extracting the battery, and so all those toxic materials are going to end up in landfills.

Only if your country / region's waste processing sucks. There are separate hand-in points for things like electronics, and garbage should be sorted before yote into landfill to sort out recyclables and toxins. I believe that they can't just put chemical waste (e.g. batteries) into landfills in most countries.

Thank you. Looking at the satellite picture, the runways seem to be sufficiently separated for simultaneous departures and the article did not have a lot of detail. It seemed to be implied that the aircraft were at risk of colliding, but I was unable to see how that was likely. If both runways make left traffic (why?!), that certainly explains it.

Also the fact that it's one word a day, same for everyone, so people have a habit of doing the daily word and sharing it. It creates a community feeling. I often discuss the word with my friends like "what word did you start with?" etc after seeing their emojis.

The endless-mode Wordle copycats are just not fun and miss the whole point. I want to do the word and move on with my day, as part of a daily ritual.
For me the fragile flat ribbon cables are hindering repair: they either break too easily or they are super hard to put back into their slot. And getting too close with a soldering iron will just melt the whole thing :)

How do you repair a broken flat ribbon? They are often custom sizes, including weird shapes going around corners.
I like Amazon's page because it doesn't return any HTML, just a simple plaintext response which makes it simple to integrate into a script or bash one-liner. Also, Amazon is large enough that I'm confident they're not going to put in a captcha or rate limit.
> Send RTP via TCP

Please don't. TCP is entirely inadequate for streaming because of head-of-line blocking behavior. Nobody use RFC4571 for that very reason.

You can make TCP/HTTP work for streaming, but that usually involves developing some fragile system that does chunking, buffering, and retries. Probably implemented as a sizeable pile of custom idiosyncratic Ajax.
The salt can be stored directly in front of the hash in the same string in the DB (a lot of crypto hash functions will output this). It can be plaintext since the goal is to add a random component so rainbow tables wouldn't be possible since there's always more to the string being hashed. That's where it becomes a time problem.

Yeah, you could rebuild a rainbow table yourself u til you find the collision, but you have to search every bit of the potential hash space.

I got angry when I was onboarding entirely remote once when I couldn’t get a question answered because the individuals that could answer the question kept assuming I was asking a different question and then explaining something I already knew.

This was a weird situation because I feel somewhat justified. All attempts on my part to be more clear, slow down, ask in a different setting, email, etc. failed. It’s like the remote thing gave everyone leave to not think with their whole brain. I don’t usually get upset like this at work, but it was extremely demotivating to realize that a question with any nuance or complexity is going to be ignored or worse.

Displacing git is certainly impossible in the short term, but that is not the only conceivable goal. Building a sustainable community does not require git levels of success. A few strategic adoptions can go a long way, as shown by Ocaml, Nix, and other similar projects who have small but passionate and vibrant communities. The key there is a core group of users who prioritize a certain set of values over the advantages (ecosystem size, polish, job opportunities perhaps) of technologies with a larger userbase.

There are also ways to displace git without immediately replacing it. Many projects adopted git only after using git-svn for an extended period, giving teams more time to develop git skills without completely disrupting existing workflows. It looks like a pijul-git bridge is planned, which could facilitate gradual adoption. Beyond patch ergonomics, there are many other areas where a concerted effort to provide a better solution than git could yield a highly attractive tool. One that comes to mind immediately is management of multi-repository codebases and dependencies; Pijul (or one of the other git competitors) could provide a better and more cohesive way to manage multi-repository code changes than is possible with git sub[tree,module,...], which would be an adoption magnet. Zig appears to be pursuing such a mixed adoption strategy: they are providing both a new language and a set of tools which support C and C++ and solve several huge pain points -- such as cross-compilaton -- without requiring direct Zig adoption. (the tools have the benefit that they make Zig projects with C or C++ dependencies much easier to bootstrap, which should also allow faster ecosystem growth).

It's vastly simpler, for one thing. SELinux is basically a weird DSL/ programming language for describing system interactions whereas systemd is providing a very basic interface for common restrictions.

I would pretty much never ask a human being to write SELinux policies unless that was explicitly part of their job whereas I can pretty much point any developer to what systemd is providing and they'll be able to work with it.
Unfortunately the fact that it has a clearly measurable value means it's price is pegged to that value.

$399 price point for a standalone unit. I didn't experience any motion sickness even though it was my first time with a real VR device.

Games like Superhot VR + Beatsabre + thrill of the fight, are awesome. and can't be made without VR.

Also, it has a passthrough mode - which I'd love to see improved - because it basically trumps AR. By adding high quality cameras in front of the headset you hit 2 birds with 1 stone.
Still not sure I buy it. Where are these spaces where exploitative games are top of the charts? It's not in the major PC game storefronts, for example (at least not in my experience). Steam is very good at recommending decent non-exploitative games to me right on its landing page. Same with Epic; even its prominent free games are generally non-exploitative. Game Pass is popular and also recommends a mix of very good games without having to search.

Regardless, my point isn't that there aren't spaces where exploitative games predominate. My point is that so many actual good games exist that aren't the slightest bit difficult to find, whereas my experience on the iPhone has been almost uniformly negative the past few years. On average, people just aren't willing to lay out ten, fifteen bucks for a game on mobile, so the race to the bottom is real.

Do you have to be an enthusiast gamer to find good PC games? Just google "best PC games", the first hit is a decent list from PC gamer. Takes all of 60 seconds to search and skim the list. If you don't have time for that, then you don't have time to be gaming at all. If I google "best iOS games" I see a mix of exploitative crap and games that are years and years old by now. (A list of "best iOS games 2021" that includes Bastion -- a game I was playing on my phone ten years ago -- is criminal.)

As a European, I welcome this wholeheartedly! It makes my daily job harder (as a programmer), but it’s needed to stop this insane industry of using private information as a currency. Most people seem to don’t care, but that is mostly because they don’t understand the consequences of this.

GDPR isn’t really that hard to understand. If you need to gather PII, you need the proper approval from the end user to do so. If you don’t have the proper approval, you can’t store it. Also, don’t gather information you don’t need. If you only need page views, don’t store IP, resolution, localisation and all these things in addition. This is common sense, not science. In fact, you should be happy to have these restrictions, because it lowers the risks in case of data breaches.

The real problem with GDPR is that we’re so used to violate peoples rights that we have completely forgotten how we should behave.
Pretty sure it is the NSA (Nakamoto SAtoshi), most likely they’ve broken the underlying cryptographic primitives and now use Bitcoins as their slush fund. It also fits perfectly with their mission statement, as they can now precisely track almost all illicit transactions and they should be able to unmask both source and targets pretty easily.

It might be a technique thing, although you are correct that those maligned "modern" screw designs do not strip as easily.

It is crucial to get the right type and size of screwdriver - look for the markings on the screw to differentiate Philips from Pozidrive (mixing them up will chew up screws). Give a test wiggle before trying to turn the screw - there should be minimal slop, and the bit shouldn't immediately try to "cam out".

Apart from that, the trick is maximal downward force. Push the screwdriver into the screw as you're turning - most cross-head designs will try to "cam out" due to tapered sections of the interface, and that's what chews up the screws. I rarely strip screw heads, even on cheap consumer products.

If you don't need a large boat of money passed your way, consider working as a staff engineer at a local university, they have less stringent screening on whom to hire, you can find senior engineers that have worked in the private sector for years that have a good information base to tap into, and the work life balance is better.

Look at research institutes/universities in the area, for me that was; UCSC, UCB, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Stanford...

I really want to believe this is another "Sokal Squared" attempt.
I didn’t make a general argument. I made a statement about being “post-genome”.

Let’s go back to your original comment:

> Modern computing is “post hardware”. That doesn't mean the hardware doesn't matter, or that changes to the hardware don't make a difference; it means describing the hardware is insufficient to describe computers, whereas describing the software is mostly sufficient.

You are correct about software. Describing it is largely sufficient to explain computer behavior.

This is not the case for human behavior. The genome encodes the hardware, but also encodes a ton of critical software (call it firmware?). Even basic needs like eating are not explained by culture/society. More complex behaviors called out in the article are also not explainable solely by cultural influence. Certainly culture influences the gymbro to build muscle, but it cannot be solely that because most people do not build massive amounts of muscle. If culture were solely responsible you’d expect to see this influence people far more evenly. Same for climbing mountains. There’s very little societal push for this. And I mentioned weddings already. You can certainly explain the specifics of weddings culturally. But you cannot explain why people desire to pair bond culturally.

We’re not post genome because we cannot explain most human behavior by looking solely at cultural influences.
Agreed, Amazon or Walmart gift cards are something your boss gives you for a job well done reward. A personal friend should not.

Ofcourse it doesn't serve the vast majority of users any good. If it would then Linux wouldn't be in minority use on desktops/laptops.

However there is a clear difference between there being the possibility to run alternative OS's on a device vs there being a convenient method to switch to something else.

Most Android devices do not force the user to use the stock OS. PC's do not care what OS they run. This runs contrary to your initial comment on users being dictated on what can and can not be run on the hardware.

Since, for the mobile industry at least, the business model doesn't revolve around simply selling hardware (Apple as well as Google makes most of their mobile earnings through the stores and ads after all) I can fully understand that that flashing with other OS's isn't supplied as an easy one click selection by the manufacturer. Why should it?

The fact that your new phone is only supported by some of the alternative software but not the one you want to use is no judgement on the manufacturer.

Not every piece of hardware should be supported by every piece of software.

Let it also be known I have run Linux for 18 years, along with various AOSP devices and other funky Linux mobiles over the last 10.

Context: I'm the main author of Pijul, and also a big fan of Git.

This sounds like a potential strawman argument to me, so let's be clear about the complaints you've heard, and my complaints against Git (which, again, I love and admire as the most elegant design I've ever seen for a tool like that).

Mine are not at all in the porcelain, but in the plumbing. My specific complaints are:

- Merges in Git don't have enough information to do the job, and the optimisation problem it tries to solve is underspecified, regardless of which merge algorithm it uses (3-way merge or other): sometimes, there are multiple solutions, and Git ends up choosing a random one. This breaks a fundamental expectation on merges called associativity.

- Solving conflicts doesn't really solve them, it just records a version without the conflict. This can waste engineering time in two ways: either because you need to think deeply about the tool when solving the conflict (and use `git rerere`), or you need to follow a strict workflow, making your work methodology serve the tool rather than the opposite.

- Similarly, rebasing is operational transform. It works most of the time, but not always, and is quite clunky and hackish. Pijul fixes that by using a datastructure that happens to be a CRDT for that part.

In my opinion, all the porcelain issues and the proliferation of unintelligible commands comes from these basic shortcomings in the plumbing.
Advertising is what came to mind.
Sorry if you do, do that. I’m almost every other case, people are not consistent with this sort of stuff. I was wrong with the way I wrote my comment and my attitude.
Today 1password is largely a product for tech people. Nobody around me outside tech circles is using a password manager, at all. They have the whole world to conquer!

I can envision them (sadly) bought by a larger actor in a few years, at a huge valuation.
Both the Fastmail[0] and Privacy [1] integrations have made 1Password a joy to use in the past few years. I've used premium BitWarden in the past, but the UX of 1Password is hard to beat. Congrats to the 1Password team!

So that means what? My password manager is going to start crypto-mining, and share the profits with me? My password manager is going to report all the sites that I have stored passwords for back to the companies?

Whatever the case may be, I'm sure it's going to turn out to be something completely worthless to me.

Fortunately, there's always Keepass, which keeps plugging away doing exactly what it says on the tin.
>> The article doesn't mention why there can't be parallel takeoffs.

Another commenter here said both runways use a left traffic pattern, so both aircraft will turn left after takeoff rather than each turning away from the other. That was curious to me as well, but it's also not pertinent to the incident because one was closed at the time.
You would still need to spend a lot of energy for the process, which brings us to the beginning. This could maybe be used when we have fully renewable enegry in excess to pull some carbon out of atmosphere.
I understood it the same way, the mean data for the past x years was however more difficult to find, and they seem to do a mean per month or year so not fined grained enough for 1 week.
