The vaccines don't stop transmission, it should be none of Apple's business. Plus coercion for a medial treatment should be a big no no, especially one that has been rushed through like this with no long term data available.
Tried it already, didn’t work :(
I know this isn’t as much the case these days, but as of late 2020 several of the long COVID clinics in my area were only accepting patients if they could demonstrate a positive test. Presumably that requirement has laxed lately though.
The rolling back technique you describe is often used for network play to hide the network latency ("rollback netcode"). When I first read about it I thought about using it to fix high emulator input latency, but never got round to it.

A quick search suggests that emulators do something slightly different called run-ahead. This is simpler because it only has to cope with a fixed latency. The graphics displayed are consistently a fixed number of frames ahead of the game state. For every frame it saves the state, runs the emulation forward a few frames, displays the frame and reverts the state.

There is no need for a side car file; we could have an extra section in the binary (ELF or other formats) in the same vein we have debug (e.g. dwarf) and other metadata.
Management pays Kronos because they feel like there's no options, even though their product is terrible and can be easily duplicated. I know this because I attempted to do it years ago. I was tasked with working with a consultant from Kronos to implement their "time management" system. I was surprised/not-surprised when I saw how lame it was. But I couldn't keep quiet after I heard we were paying Kronos something like $250K (early 2000s; can't remember exact $$$ amount, but it was a lot). I told my bosses I could make the same system over a weekend, and support it myself. Management resisted at first (Kronos has certifications!), but then they told Kronos we're thinking about rolling our own, thinking Kronos would drop the price by a few bucks. Nope. Kronos threatened to sue, saying we were attempting to steal IP.
Not technically a "new" game but something I was pretty amazed to see yesterday is a homebrew port of Tomb Raider to the GBA called OpenLara. It runs surprisingly well getting 15-20 FPS on real hardware. Insanely impressive and much better than other 3D games on the system like Asterisk and Driver 3.
I don't think it's an attempt to justify things as much as an attempt to question whether the author is making a real point. He suggests that we should "adopt flexible stances, mixing traditions", rather than "adopting rigid and extreme positions", but almost everyone honestly believes this is what they're doing. (I would argue that "rigid and extreme positions" is just what it looks like from the outside when someone's mixing in a tradition you don't understand.)

I could imagine someone saying that we should strive to live off of vibes, never having or acting on ideas about how the world should be, but he doesn't seem to be arguing that.
Back when Magic Leap was at the top of the hype cycle, a friend of mine did some napkin calculations to see what kind of computing power their headset would need to do what they were claiming they could do. The result was way out of the league of any known mobile processor at the time. I think closer to dual desktop GPUs of that era at least.

So this article is saying two M1 Pro CPUs. Ok, let's say that's sufficient. The batteries required to power two M1s are going to be pretty big. Not sure anyone is going to want all that weight (and heat!) on their head.

Maybe 5 years from now processing speeds and power consumption will be sufficient.
Yea, but like most things in America it will probably never be rational. So companies will need to adapt to reality.
I recommend the book The Scout Mindset which examines biases like these and advocates for a more epistemic, “scoutlike” approach rather than sheer confidence. Self help for people who don’t like self help.
My boss recently confided that he, his boss, and I are all “within a Starbucks habit” of each other. For some reason I love that analogy.

He hasn't been employed by Microsoft in a really long time.
It's clear that a line is being crossed though, when we go from "take this external low-cost behavior to enjoy the privilege of driving at 80mph" to "inject this substance into your body or you will be denied all access to public life."

Maybe the line needs to be crossed, but denying that line and ridiculing the people who value the line is not helpful. Bodily autonomy/corporeal sovereignty was historically a cornerstone belief for the same people who now want to deny it from others, and that should not be taken lightly.
C++ has try finally, which is the same thing. Instead of bloating C, anyone needing defer can use a subset of C++ that fits their needs.
Scheduled slacks has made this one even easier to observe.
I'll give a cynical view based only on money. The opportunity to obtain a phd is worth more than 50k. There will always be well paying tech jobs, but although getting a PhD later in life is possible, giving up the salary once you are used to it may be practically impossible. Meanwhile the PhD will likely open up options for you later in your career which might otherwise be closed. You should do it now because otherwise you never will and it'll cost you in the long run. So that's the money grabbing view. If you take into account the satisfaction of doing original research too, it becomes a no brainer to finish the phd, in my view.
Speaking of radioactive sources surprisingly used for casual activities, I liked this video from Applied Science guy on record(the music kind) static removers:

Polonium!
There will be plenty of golden offers in years to come; the PhD is pretty one off, you won't be capable of doing it within a few years, or at least it will be far more difficult intellectually and energy-wise, let alone considering other life commitments you may have. Having a PhD will also be a significant differentiator for some of those golden offers.

That doesn't mean a PhD is right for you, or you shouldn't take a once in a lifetime offer in the unlikely event that is what this is, but FOMO can be a very strong and misleading signal - and fortunately you seem to be aware of that.

That's good input, thanks. I had submitted a reply as a question, but now wonder if I should rephrase it as a statement to be on the safe side:

It could be very important for the containment (for lack of a better term; I'm not familiar with the area) and pausing/deactivation of those models to be well-tested and effective.
I think they just call it "AR", Apple Reality. Your life inside Apple.
Tumblr marketing is awesome:

> Tumblr is so easy to use that it’s hard to explain.

> We made it really, really simple for people to make a blog and put whatever they want on it. Stories, photos, GIFs, TV shows, links, quips, dumb jokes, smart jokes, Spotify tracks, mp3s, videos, fashion, art, deep stuff. Tumblr is 541 million different blogs, filled with literally whatever.
It would be an interesting experiment, but there are also big upfront costs. I think it might be more useful as a poll to let firms know if they should offer support, rather than an actual a la carte model, because the costs of support are include large fixed costs.

I've been on the other side of this, advocating for our internal support team to handle questions about a service we were releasing. Today there is great temptation to rely on social media, etc, and not have a real support service.

For me, it took over a year of lobbying, meetings, etc, just to get the go ahead. Here are the things I had to do:

- gather data on how important it is to provide support by giving examples of customer issues that need support to resolve.
- lobby multiple managers
- get this into planning docs so it can be funded
- create a dialogue tree for support to handle, with triggers for escalating
- find actual devs (other than me) to do tier 3 support when support can't help
- do regular training sessions for the support staff
- build internal tooling for them to use to help look up answers
- hold regular meetings that I came to believe were nothing more than reassuring the support staff that we hadn't abandoned them.

And still, after all this, they ended up cancelling the project after a few years in operation when support got new leadership that didn't favor supporting the service. At that point I was too exhausted to go back and fight the battle again.

It is expensive to have someone provide you with answers. I mean, really expensive. And no one wants to do it, because the downside -- publicly embarrassing the company, setting wrong expectations about what the person on the other end of the line can help you with, etc, are all pointed at the person in charge of support, whereas the upsides -- "helping customers" -- is not something anyone in the company uses as a KPI. It rarely gets noticed in terms of an individual's career path.

After that experience, I really understood the moat of luxury brands. Being able to be a company that excels in non-tangible things such as quality that goes above what the rest of the market can provide or great personalized service is incredibly hard and beyond most companies. There is a whole infrastructure behind you that must be maintained and great vigilance is required to keep that customer experience high. It's something that has to be in the corporate DNA, in the sense that leadership is imbued with this as a motivating factor that colors most of their decision making. That's just not gonna be the case for a very big company, and certainly not a monopoly or market hegemon.
for the "common basis" part I'm referring to commenting code/ using descriptive variable names/ breaking mega large files into smaller ones...

things that developer do not agree on include choosing between (object-oriented, procedural or functional code)

the debate of isolating small bits of code regardless of the paradigm used.
how many "code components" can be created without making the follow references game so crazy that you can't even understand the code flow and where you even started reading the code.
are small code duplicates really that bad or over componentizing is a bigger issue that tries to solve the first one?

things like that...

I didn't work for large company before so was wondering if you saw any consensus/ agreement patterns between senior developers in these type of debatable things especially when writing JS because of it's huge flexibility.
I think you can pick on some of the specific points in the essay, but the large picture is basically right.

You can often tell you're in an ideological debate when the same old points are trotted out over and over. Tax is theft, capitalism is oppression, that kind of stuff. When you talked to a person who has bought in, they always have an answer to everything, and it's the same rehearsed answer squished into whatever thing you're discussing each time: doing X reduces my freedom, having to do Y is the capitalists bullying everyone.

The thing that ideology really buys you is a complete weltanschauung. That in itself is dangerous. If you don't have any doubts about what you're thinking, you'll never change it. In fact, you won't even be thinking, just repeating, like times tables. Your fellow travelers will congratulate you when you make a comment they like, but it's like learning a playbook. It simply won't occur to you that you might be wrong, or that other people might have legitimate views.

The only way to wean yourself off this sort of non-thinking is to try to seek discomfort. I try to not label my thinking with common labels like capitalism, libertarianism, communism, and so on. Those words tend to mean a wide variety of things to people that they often can't articulate, and once you identify with them you'll be held to account for views that other people think you have that they nonetheless cannot fully explain. You yourself will not be able to fully explain them either, because intellectual history is pretty big and you can't cover everything. I try to just address whatever issue is at hand without tying it to a big idea that will then end up being the source of a stream of what-abouts.
In my area all self-tests are connected and must be digitally reported. However self-diagnosis may be a cause of underreporting.
> justify people supporting ideas that are harmful to both themselves and to society.

Harmful according to whom? It's safe to assume people don't support ideas they think are harmful to themselves and society.

What irks me is that the "ideology is intrinsically bad" idea is historically firmly part of conservative ideology. One early formulation is Burke's criticism of the french revolution.

I think pointing this out is not relativism.

Gas pumps aren't very profitable, mainly because there is so much competition. At present, this isn't the case for EV charging points, but as time goes on and EVs proliferate, it makes sense that charging will become as commoditized as gasoline.

Ok, I'm not just here to bitch. Here's the code for my implementation of Sci-Hub mirror checking: https://observablehq.com/@iz/sci-hub

I made an iOS Shortcut based on the same code. To use it after installing, access it from the iOS Share screen when you're on a relevant site. It will look for preferred mirrors from Wikidata before running.

The main benefit of IF which isn't mentioned in the article (and hasn't yet been mentioned in the thread) is regaining insulin sensitivity. Losing insulin sensitivity is what leads to a low-functioning liver and causes the body to start storing excess sugar as fat.

I do fast now and then, I did it more strictly in the past, but I am naturally pretty skinny so I don't want to loose weight. These days I can do 18 hours without too much effort, but it doesn't feel as beneficial as when I would do 36 hours (admittedly with 600 calories, based loosely around teh 5-2 diet). There are more benefits than just autophagy.

Articles like this leave me wondering how they really live their lives. I don't know if I smell BS but most people who use todo lists aren't todo-ing their whole day, nor wasting time adding things to it they never do. I've also never felt the need to download multiple apps. My calendar app works for long-term and paper & pen can handle the rest.
I gather there's a strong tie-in with SAP payroll stuff (at least in sunny NZ): several of the organisations I've worked with who moved to SAP payroll/employee management have also taken kronos for timesheeting. And since you can't get fired for choosing SAP, Kronos keeps getting customers
They're not really "new" either but there's also a thriving scene of modding/hacking official games

For example there's a hack for Gameboy Tetris that retrofits modern Tetris mechanics into it

It's not the mutexes that'd be stack-allocated, but the list of things to call back to at the end of the function. The locks list could be modified or freed by the end of the function, but something still must hold the list of things to deferred-unlock.

The pthread_cleanup_push/pthread_cleanup_pop thing presumably keeps its own heap-allocated vector, backed by malloc or something. C itself can't willy nilly heap-allocate, so that list will be on the stack. But the stack is tiny compared to how long loops can be. Hence stack overflow.
Which I think is great. Those features just incentivises people to constantly scream for attention and marketing agencies to try to create viral campaigns.

There are already plenty products aimed at the mass populace, I would love to see again more communities built for the niches. Not just in terms of topics (subreddits et al), but functionality and interactions. Because honestly I came to the conclusion that communities only work if they stay relatively small and focused. I haven't used Are.na enough to say anything about their community specifically, but their approach resonates strongly with me.
The quote is insightful, because it is insightful, if you forgive some harmless tautology.

A good test of the rule is how well it compares to the situation you want to apply it to. In the case you presented ( 'vaccines' ), for example, there is conscious effort to cast people, who refuse to be vaccinated as subhuman that have no rights in the face of this overwhelming threat.

On the other hand, unvaccinated attempt to portray the 'opposing side' as 'sheeple' riding on pre-existing anti-government strain prevalent in US mainstream.

It does not make the quote less insightful. It just shows that humans instinctively gather into tribes. It used to be the tribes were limited geographically, but this has not been the case for a while.

TLDR; Granny ( and Pratchett ) was not wrong when those words were written. It starts there.

> Much of the case rests on the concessions Google allegedly made to Facebook in the wake of the Jedi Blue arrangement, including lower fees and longer timeout limits in exchange bidding. One newly unredacted portion of the complaint claims that the concessions gave Facebook a clear advantage in winning auctions.

Price isn’t the only dimension in an auction. Fees and timeouts would give a clear advantage.
You ought to set the price where an equal number of people find it "too expensive" and "affordable."

I agree. The golem is presented as an analogue to any statistical inference: powerful but ultimately dumb, in the sense that it won't think for you. That's in my opinion the major theme of the book---you have to think and not rely on algorithms/tools/machines...or golems to do that for you.
"And it's borne out of experiences living in rural areas that people from nearby cities treat like their own personal playgrounds."

That has been my sad experience too. I live in a beautiful place. Lack of services keep most people away, but as more people seek to enjoy nature, it gets trashed. I used to go on walks and things were clean, now I can fill a small bag with trash.

There are some local attractions that the world should see, but the locations are not shared online for fear they will be trashed. Those fears are not unfounded.

As for the dark, starry sky - just last night I looked out my window at a cold, clear night and all the stars. It is our there, but who wants to live in a place with spotty cell service, no trash service, a few small restaurants and abundant cold weather?

While there maybe a 2K version, I would be very surprised if that were the starting point. Rather like their other products they will offer higher-end versions. There is a lot of tech going into these that will make the base price a bit high since most people we consider this an accessory like a watch that's for fun, rather than something required like a phone or computer. I'm sure Apple will be able to condition people to a higher price point but for it to take off, will need to be low enough that enough people will buy it at the start. 2K no matter what it does would seem too high for an entry price when competitors are $300 even if this is drastically better. Think they'd need a sub 1K version.
My point is that big companies are pouring resources into finding something to do with Blockchain and just can't.
I have been involved in the process, my company has a de-novo device (with an issued IDE), and I can agree that it is expensive and time consuming, but what their requirements result in is ultimately a better product, better processes, and dramatically reduced risk.

These regulations are written in blood. They're difficult to comply with because if you invite poor engineering you will get poor engineering and dangerous devices.
I was always fascinated by this stuff too, it's pretty blatant once you recognize it. And then you lose hope in humanity seeing all the people replying.
