Agreed. I'm repeatedly shocked as I hear adults report they loved this movie.

Of course my daughter is watching it over and over, and the songs are playing constantly. The music is fine, I'm a Lin-Manuel Miranda fan but I don't think this is his best work.

But the movie?!? There's no growth in any character, even the catharsis with the grandmother is "look how much I suffered, have sympathy that I ended up a tyrant". It's just eye/ear candy, fine for kids.

I genuinely don't get it, there are tons of relatively recent Pixar and Disney movies that I think are just better in all respects.
People still compare nuclear power to coal but they quit building coal plants circa 1980 for the same reason they quit building nuclear plants

You can see a graph of coal capacity added by year here: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=30812

The US built coal plants in the 1990s and even in the 2010s. These last ones started construction in roughly the years 2003-2008, when US natural gas prices were elevated and (many thought) due to go up even more:

https://www.macrotrends.net/2478/natural-gas-prices-historic...

Coal's brief renaissance was halted by a triple-whammy of lower gas costs (from shale), lower wind costs, and lower solar costs. It's soon to face another whammy: falling grid scale battery costs. I don't think that the continental US will ever build another coal generating station. But that happened more recently than 1980.
Back in the day (nearly 30 years ago) people would run a user-mode stack to obtain Internet connectivity via a (dial-up) Unix shell account. The program was "slirp" which was named after SLIP/CSLIP, but then upgraded to support PPP once that became a thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp
I hope that Safari's PWA support remains broken forever by your defintion, then.
The 9th bit was also used by the depth buffer.

To add to this, the reason that the RAM was available with 9 bits in the first place is so that it could be used to make systems with ECC. It's just that you didn't have to use that 9th bit for error correction, you could use it for extra data, if you designed the system to use it that way.
“The Appstore wasn't obvious for Apple, and it was only after developer backlash that they changed their tune.“

This is not “remembering history correctly” at all.

Apple didn’t have an SDK ready, and tried to sell the shit sandwich of Web Apps as a stopgap.

It was useful to me. And the statements are not empty, not to me at least.

Sibling comment to yours is writing about men who want women chained to the kitchen.

Is that too a bad faith argument?
M1 Max will still be more than twice as fast as any M2 chip machines due to the number of cores. It is unlikely that Apple will be ready to upgrade the M1 Pro/Max to M2 Pro/Max until next year. Even then the increase in performance for M2 cores is probably in the 10-15% range over M1 cores based on what we have seen with the A14 vs A15 cores in the phones.

> Pretty much your only mainstream options today are QUIC and WireGuard, and only QUIC is intended to run in userspace.

Not sure it fits your "mainstream" qualification, but many projects ago I used Airhook to help create a userspace, application-layer('ish), multi-channel virtual network: http://airhook.ofb.net/ (https://github.com/egnor/airhook)

Airhook is a relatively low-level library that handles framing and flow control; it's not a functional solution on its own. But that seems to be what you're getting at--something you can deeply integrate into your application, not a separate service. Though, I guess containers have sort of muddied that distinction.
My point is everyone can never have equal “value”. The blue collar father urging their kid to be a doctor is not doing it because he thinks he is inherently less “valuable” than a doctor. The father is urging their kid because the father has experience on the type of quality of life a blue collar father can provide versus a doctor father can provide, which is a function of the price that they can sell their labor at.
Waabi’s new simulator could scale autonomous vehicle tech faster
tesla doesn't have wonderful software updates though...

The fixes they make are controversial and many times make things worse especially wrt the infotainment system.

for example, the current system is just SO broken I don't know where to start.

Ok, the USB audio system. You can listen to audio off of a USB flash drive. This is great because they came out with an expensive high fidelity sound system a few years back, and allowing FLAC or ALAC supported high quality uncompressed audio.

otoh the USB software is horrendously broken, and updates have frequently made things worse. reference: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/comprehensive-usb-bu... (a thread with > 2000 comments)
Have you been around babies and small children? Or spoken with someone who has raised them?

Differences in character are evident between children, and statistical differences between boys and girls are very visible.

Your argument has a flaw. It's right we don't have evidence for the fashion gene but it's also right we know the female and male brain are different and behaviors are different (even if we cannot pinpoint the cause of the difference we see different behavior). It is sufficient to consider the genetic explanation as possible.
> Does anyone use Safari exclusively for all their browsing?

I do. Or I did. Google Cloud Console is unbearably slow and often broken (charts ugh) in Safari and marginally less so in Chrome.

So I do all my browsing except GCP console in Safari.
I remember reading an article when I was a teenager about how very few men, but most women could tell whether a specific disease (don't remember which one) was caused by a virus or bacteria. It also claimed that the statistics were reversed for knowing whether the sun revolves around the earth or vice versa. I had no idea about the virus/bacteria thing, felt ridiculous to me. But intrigued, I asked my mother about the sun and earth and she responded: "I don't know, I've never even thought about it". Shocked to say the least. I learned that day that men and women are very different on average, despite being told otherwise my whole life.
Yours is an argument of kind in reply to an argument of degree.
"Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"

You can disassemble machine code into some form of source language, but the variables you discover can only be allocated nonsense non-identical names like 'alpha0001', 'alpha0002', 'alpha0003', etc. Very often those names will reflect the address in memory where that variable is stored.

Apart from the fact that a particular variable exists, you can have no idea what its name is. And without lots of hours of reverse-engineering work, you won't know what its purpose is. More or less you can only know where it is stored in memory and what its value is.

Of course, once you have disassembled the code and know what the function of a particular piece of code is for, you are free to rename the variable and code with descriptive names of your own. But the likelihood that your variable name and your code-routine name is the same as the original coder's is pretty negligible.
It's really to do with gender roles though. Nurse sees a penis on the baby - writes M on the birth certificate - child ends up being told by teachers they're not allowed to cry because they're a boy.

Non binary people think those gender roles don't make sense for themselves, and in that respect, I think almost everyone is at least a little non binary. Maybe not enough to feel it's worth declaring, but I've never met anyone who really loves everything about their gender role.
Schools are structured to benefit girls, and the deck is absolutely stacked against boys. The vast majority of teachers are female, and they mark boys worse for equivalent work. [1] Boys generally require more physical activity than girls, yet the majority of school is "sit down and stare at this whiteboard".

Of course they're less motivated, it's quite literally a rigged game.

> I can't imagine my wife or parents switching to Android even if all of the non-Apple apps were to disappear tomorrow.

That seems surprising. Do your wife and parents not use Uber/Lyft/etc.? Do they not use any banking apps? Do they not use any social media apps? Yelp? Food delivery apps? Messaging apps aside from iMessage? Video streaming apps? And that's just from looking at one of my home screens!

Do you really believe they'd be happy with a phone that suddenly couldn't do all that anymore? I very much doubt that.
I see some here are asking for Safari on Windows and Linux. You can get most of the way by just running Webkit builds on those platforms. BUT! That would only solve a small fraction of issues. Most of the issues my team has to work around are only with Safari on iOS and ipadOS. Plenty of those issues are so OS/hardware specific that they need to be debugged with actual devices since they can't even be reproduced in Xcode simulator. Those issues are mostly related to audio, webrtc and touch.
Yes, I was being glib, thanks for calling it out.

As the wiki article you shared lays out, there was a decent amount of nonpartisan momentum behind narrower limitations on Tiktok, along with serious consideration of it as a national security threat. Trump's threat of an outright ban immediately polarized the conversation and deflated much of that momentum, helped along by the fact his specific approach and messaging were typically incautious instead of incremental.

The courts did indeed issue an injunction against Trump's EO, and I don't have any reason to believe they were wrong to do so. Biden, again typically, _has_ taken the first steps of an incremental approach towards assessing the risks that tiktok poses. But as implied by the Wikipedia page you linked, we're nowhere near the level of Congressional and institutional attention that we were at in 2019 and 2020, and it's pretty reasonable to attribute this to Trump's engagement with the issue reorienting the political valence of the conversation. Specifically, the "Trump vs tiktok" association is so strong that (eg) a Senator that makes too much noise about it will now be loaded with an association that he may not want.

I actually don't have a strong opinion about tiktok's ban, see risks in both courses of action, and am a fan of the Biden admin's ostensible careful approach. I just resent the degree to which the idiocy of the public drives so many issues further away from thoughtful engagement with reality and towards partisan sportsball.

> So the trick is to find that peer group for your kids. How do you all deal with this?

This really was the key for my development into using the computer as a tool instead of as a device for consumption. Some very nice, and patient, developers on IRC took me under their collective wing at about 12. A few years later I was freelancing for several of them.

These experiences greatly changed the way I approach life, problems, and learning. I am forever grateful for those people and attempt to emulate their attitude and decorum when I am helping others learn.

Most projects I work on use a lot of edge caching but it is not business critical. It is for speed. It is a problem if the design depends on both a cache and a database if the cache is dependent on the database.
I’ve seen Breitbart comments accusing the AP of being communists.

They’re about as milquetoast neoliberal as you can get, but they typically skew towards diversity and democracy which is probably enough to make you a steenkin pinko to some people.
It sure could be if you were trying to represent it as most/many men or whatever.

Which is I think what the sibling commentor was trying to say, no?

The bad faith argumentation doesn't come from the specifics of whatever group you are talking about, it comes from trying to represent a fringe view or characterization as definitive of the group, then attacking them all for it.

Take for example the current news about Canadian trucker convoy, there was some coverage of people in the convoy being pictured with swastika flags.

It's perfectly reasonable to say: "hey, what's up with the neonazi's ? Are you guys really ok with them being part of your protest?"

And it's perfectly reasonable to judge them on the response to that question. There are even nuanced answers that it's hard to judge.

However, it's a bad faith argument to jump from that to: "Canadian truckers are nazi's".

It started about fifteen years ago, but Apple discovered that a great use for their extra cash flow was to buy up the processes they (and their competitors) would need in the future. When a screen manufacturer needed money to do the next big thing, then Apple would chip in significant funding and own a percentage of the new joint venture. They would not only get priority and lower prices on orders, but they profited from anyone else buying the same tech. Apple now owns an exclusive license to Liquidmetal, is a significant investor in Corning (Gorilla Glass), invested heavily in a Toshiba LCD plant, paid LG (for LCD) and various SSD manufacturers massive upfront payments for priority and/or exclusivity.
> Does this mean 9/10ths of the power can be sold and the other 1/10th can be re-used to power the reactor endlessly?

In theory, yes, but in practice it doesn't. But it does mean that they'll've proven the concept sound, and we can start making real fusion reactors.
And spina bifida, and cerebral palsy, and strokes, and diabetes, and broken bones, and arthritis, and being pregnant, and just getting old, and literally hundreds of other disorders that cause temporary or permanent impairment.

> I found the elder sister being physically strong and an impressive leader and yet still a woman and also have vulnerability to be pretty new. Her arc didn’t involve

Well, I thought Encanto had good music and animation at the same time that the writing and plotting was a train wreck, and this is one of the best examples why.

Luisa sings a song about how she's stressed by all the responsibilities she has. Except that she doesn't have any responsibilities - they are not depicted before or after her song. She's not a leader and no one follows her. She doesn't run anything in the family or in the village. All she ever does is lift things and put them down at the direction of someone else. Her song makes no sense and her character has no arc.

The movie takes this same approach to the much more plot-central relationship between Mirabel and Isabela - we're told that they hate each other, and then they have to make up, so there's a song that accomplishes that by hand-waving. This level of writing makes the song worse so that the movie can also be worse.
> what explains the relative stability in post-Christian Europe?

Politics is the new religion insofar as it develops moral frameworks and makes people abide by them while convincing them they are making the "rational" choice. This is informed substantially by Enlightenment-era philosophies and is the major component in modern consent manufacturing.

"Rational" in scare quotes because good luck converting questions of morality into questions of rationality.
36-bit was a common enough word length. Not just UNIVAC, but IBM 360, PDP-6/PDP-10, and some others. Convenient both for octal (multiple of 3 bits) and working with pre-ASCII, 6-bit character encodings (multiple of 6 bits).

The Webb was in development for more than a decade. Given that the article is discussing high school and first year college students, there’s going to be a latency period. I’d guess by the mid-2030s the effects will start to properly manifest, with concomitant hits to research output. Also don’t forget that even with its horrendous STEM situation, America has been the global hegemon for 70 years. One could argue that science education has been worse than the OECD average for half of that time, but being the global hegemon has meant that international students have filled the gap. With the rise of China, education and migration to America will no longer be the status quo for many Asians. America’s loss is China’s gain, something that looks to be a recurring theme of this century.
Valuable, yes. Clearly it was valuable enough back in 2007 before there was an App Store. But nowadays, would it be valuable enough? I doubt it.
Darn, I found the article quite underwhelming. It may be a major breakthrough relative to past accomplishments in the field but it’s far from commercial viability.
As long as the reader needs 'an account' this will never take off. There should be some way to load money into my computer and then drag a quarter or half dollar coin onto an article that I want to read.

The only information that needs to transfer is the coin's value. There is absolutely no need for any account information to propagate off of my computer. But the current state of the internet basically guarantees that the most syphilitic tech whore lead is going to shout from the mountain tops who paid what to view which article and then carve it into stone which is subsequently dumped into a landfill.
Mind explaining how you came to that conclusion? As far as I can tell you're the one who is brining race into the conversation.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were considerable variation between properties. My observation was that there seemed to be a remote higher level management office that was out of state, and out of touch with local conditions, but still trying to control costs aggressively. So the one local property manager was grossly overworked and under-resourced. She actually seemed quite pitiably desperate (and there was turnover in that role).

Also, maybe in lower COL areas than SF bay it might be easier for them to source labor and services at a cost they were willing to pay. They kept saying it was because of covid, but my previous and following landlords both managed to provide basic essential services like legal mailboxes and working toilets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> The US grid (the last-mile bits anyway) isn't 110 volts, it's 220. It's just our houses that are wired for (mostly) 110 V.

Similarly, in most of continental Europe phase-to-phase is 400V but most outlets are 230V. E.g. in my apartment only the stove has a 400V three-phase (4-wire) connection.
How important is GPU to the work that you do? Or do you use the CPU more?

If you can answer that question you might get the performance you need without spending a lot of money for power you won’t use. The purpose of the Max is to provide maximum GPU cores. If you work mainly in CPU then the Pro might be all you need.
I'm a man, and would have answered no to degauss, although I'm 32 (so old enough to have had a crt tv in college). I remember the word upon looking it up though. Gauss I would have assumed was a trick question (he's a person!), but on further reflection I remember that it's a unit for something or another in electrostatics.

Am I allowed to contribute to open source from work? ie bugfixes for libraries we use.

How locked down are the computers/network?

Am I able to use whatever development tools I choose without asking permission?

An easy path for Apple to find data is simply to look for codepaths in web apps that are webkit-specific. They can take simple approaches like looking for usage of safari-specific CSS extensions are user agent sniffing, or invest more and actually profile running applications to observe unique codepaths taken on Safari vs. other browsers. I don't think anyone ever got to their keyboard and thought "I hope I get to re-implement my feature to work on Safari today!".
