While this is cool, and I far prefer materials I can put in the compost pile over those bound for Trash Mountain, Incinerator, or Recycling Operation, the better action is to decrease demand by getting by with less, collectively. I'm not appealing to individuals to change their behavior, but to regulatory agencies so there's a sense of fairness.
Deaths are currently at around 2,000 PER DAY in the United States. That is not in any way, shape, or form "extremely lower" than earlier waves. The Omicron wave was equal to the initial wave in severity, and we're still not out of it.
It's possible the author is unaware that there are cables that have a USB-C (TB4) connector on one end and a DisplayPort connector on the other. This should directly support running DisplayPort 1.4 off just the dock they purchased without additional dongles. (Which would also work with the OWC TB4 dock you mention).

Possibly they had a specific need for actual DisplayPort ports on the dock though, and because they specifically wanted DisplayPort 1.4, that ruled out TB3 docks.

How do you like that OWC dock? It looks pretty nice. I also noticed that CalDigit has successor to your TS3 that looks pretty nice too.
At this stage I am going to assume that it is a lie. I cannot find any reputable mainstream media references to it.
From the article, in office is 3 days per week -

No, but it certainly means they're getting at least some use out of the money they're spending versus what is effectively just lighting money on fire.
> I don't think they've thought through their demands very well.

If you, as a person with technical skills, aren't making money hand over fist with a normal job in the tech sector and instead are doing illegal things like this, it's very likely that there is something wrong with your judgment in general.
I never really understood why anyone thinks this is a good idea. Popular, maybe. Smart? Not so sure.

Instead of just modifying your parser, you change your entire input format to be incompatible with what most of the rest of the world uses (standard JSON).

I get it, it requires slightly more technical skill / effort / etc to implement a proper streaming JSON parser (which BTW will perform WAY better in terms of speed and memory) instead of just writing "my_data.split('\n')". But, there are pre-existing libraries that already do that, and a one-time tiny bit of extra work, to open up a capability that you can reuse anywhere in your stack, seems to be a much better option than a lifetime of incompatibility with standard JSON.
Deaths and cases are both dropping sharply, and since deaths lag cases, the deaths should be expected to continue to drop steadily for a few more weeks.

Something substantial has definitely changed. That's not the same as knowing there won't be future variants or spikes. But if there's ever a time to get back to normal, now would be it. It's not total victory and may never be, but at some point we either declare that we can live with this while having normal lives, or we're tacitly declaring that we never intend to.
There's no need to collude when you can just notice how the wind is flowing; expect a flood of these announcements over the next weeks.

Apple didn't just decide to do it because Google did, they'd already decided it was coming, and perhaps moved up the announcement now that someone (Putin? Google?) took the news cycle.
"You can't dedicate something to the public domain in my country" - that's the whole point of Unlicense. Yes, I can do it, in my country, in your country, in any other country, and even on Mars. And I don't need an approval of any authority to be able to do it. The problem is not that I can't do it, the problem is that countries refuse to acknowledge that fact.

My grand-grand father was sent on a train to Siberia during WW2 after spending two years in a solitary confinement at Matrosskaya Tishina[0].

Every once in a while the train stopped, and each stop they asked random people to step forward. These people were executed in front of others. However, majority of passenger have arrived to the final destination (prison camp) alive.

Those who made it alive were never the same, they were broken, psychologically.

Their families too. My grand-grand mother hang herself shortly after his arrest. My grandmother was deeply traumatized for the rest of her life by that (she was a little girl who found her mother hanging from the chandelier).

Absolutely true. But it's still a thing you can say, however trivial and however long ago it was that people with titles meant something. You can also muddy the waters by pointing at the few aristocrats who do actually have a pile of money.

Everyone likes this working-class label for some reason. Something between "Worked your way up" and "didn't have a silver spoon" is the desire.
Go’s major versioning sucks – From a fanboy
Yes, there's a lot of similar stuff going on in the US. However, the new money / old money distinction in the US seems to not have the teeth that it does in the UK, at least, from the mid 20th century onwards.

The thing about old money having old cars and appliances applies to the UK too. If you're upper-class in the UK, you might wear Wellington boots and go hunting with your dogs in your Subaru hatchback. At a glance, it might look indistinguishable from something you might find someone doing in rural Montana.

The Gilded Age in the US is absolutely fascinating... it seems like at that point in history, the US was trying its hardest to ape European conventions for class, and simultaneously, there was a ton of economic growth fueling the noveau riche. That's when we got people like Rockefeller and Vanderbilt. It's the time when Wharton's The Age of Innocence was set (highly recommend this book). Old money went to the opera at the Academy of Music Opera House, and new money went to the Metropolitan Opera House. (Guess which one is still around.)

There is a huge difference between "dying with COVID" and "dying from COVID".

> context.reset is kinda funny. Most high-performance canvas apps will never want to use it. For that matter you want to set all properties as little as possible, especially setting things like context.font, which are slow even if you're setting it to the same value.

yes, ctx.font mutation still sucks very badly. and you cannot avoid it during drag-resizing a canvas, which is miserable. (i maintain a high perf charting lib).

Back in the day, people insisted that containers were not security boundaries and should not be treated as such. They're meant to contain things from going off the rails unintentionally, but an actual threat was another story.

However, realistically, given the env that a container gives you, it certainly looks and feels like a security boundary. So are we just going to be stuck in this retroactive security cleanup mode forever? My point is that if it were designed from the ground up with the hard security boundary in mind, would we have ended up with containers in the first place? If not, is there any realistic way to go from where we are to where we should be?

The only other design I'm familiar with that sort of comes close are MicroVMs. Those have the downside of actually needing to run a VM though, and most (all?) cloud providers don't allow nested virtualization so you're stuck running on an enormous bare metal box.

My understanding (which could be wrong!) is that the current absolute death amounts are high, but the actual rate of deaths per-infection is low. This is because the trend in variants has (so far) been towards more-infectious but less-fatal, along with improved knowledge of treatments... so we have a vast number of people infected but they're mostly-surviving.

Said deaths are also extremely focused in unvaccinated people, meaning that outside of the immunocompromised (whose situation sucks here), it's at least mostly people who chose the risk.

I agree. Public key authentication is mature. It just needs to be adopted.

Yeah what you're talking about with memcached spilling to the SSD for an extended cache is sort of what I was thinking about.

Bit surprised that isn't already much more common of a pattern.

And yeah, I'm a fan of sqlite whenever it can be used, then postgresql when you need some beefier.

A frightening about of Amazon ran on pre-chewed-up BDBs that were pushed out to every server that needed them (originally to literally every webserver, then pushed out to every server in a microservice cluster), effectively as caches in front of SQL databases. Using sqlite these days should be much better than that since BDBs were buggy and awful.

> I'd also like to see cover letters replaced by something more useful for both parties, like a small set of direct questions to answer.

This "small set of direct questions," in my opinion, is implicit in the job description/duties and desired qualifications. Employers lately have had challenges in job definition, of course (they seem interested in advertising for the company rather than a job, and the job descriptions have become increasingly elastic; in their defense, retention is hard, and it can be difficult to slot people into single roles anymore).

My general practice in responding to job postings is to prepend my resume with a table containing the job requirements vs. my experience with an estimation of whether I meet the requirement (check, dash, X) and a brief explanation.

In cases where there aren't any job postings, but I have an interest in the company—or if I want to make an impression that I'm targeting them—I'll send a cover letter by postal mail with a printed resume. Usually it's a few sentences: here's why I'm interested, how I might be useful to you, and here's a resume with contact information if you want to reach out.
Wow. Thanks for the insights.

> work at a fast-paced startup and still work on average 10/hours a week less than at Apple.

I am always floored by statements like this. I work as a principal data analyst and everything above 40 hours/week is overtime. While I have overtime included in my contract I still am able to reduce overtime (it is still being tracked to ensure compliance with local workers protection laws) if the project situation allows. On average I do something like 41 hours a week over the last few years. Including high profile client engagement or pitch situations.

I find myself having enough time to also work on my side business and do work for animal protection charities. While still being able to work in the garden and shop to relax.
I’m not sure that this article sufficiently addresses the following natural objection: I don’t always know when my password has been leaked, and the chance of it having been leaked increases with time, so I should change my passwords ( to new strong, unique values) to lower the chance that they’re compromised.
Only in the same sense that laws are "imposed on" criminals. You may not have personally agreed to it, but it's part of the legal framework our society rests on.
This is vindicating. I suspect the vulnerabilities were caused by a requirement to align with the Global Platform specification they mention in their references. Not sure that it prescribes AES-GCM, but I remember it being a bit janky at the time as they were trying to adapt protocols from smart card secure elements to mobile phones in a way that preserved compatability.

The dodgy issue was that counters on slow low power card based secure elements were designed to depend on tamper proof hardware and had a small moving window, whereas in software, I'd speculate they needed something like GCM to maintain protocol backward compatability with some additional assurance in software. Modern protocols would just use ECC with a totally different protocol, but to maintain compatability for payments and global platform, you needed a symmetric protocol, and GCM was the best they could do.

It's vindicating because when I worked on a related TZ problem almost 10y ago, the authors of this paper were the precise threat actor I proposed in the design discussions.
We use an autotrophic microorganism called an acetogen. Autotrophic means it can use inorganic carbon to feed itself. Plants are another example of an autotroph. Humans are heterotrophs, meaning we depend on other sources for food.

Who knows if the next variant will be milder (common talking point about how viruses evolve to be more contagious/less deadly) or worst (the unknown and media fear mongering... not to mean theyre equivalent), but if the trend points to anything it's that things peak twice a year. Around January/February and August/September. Not to mention, America is in an election year and the economy is tetering, so everything is about optics and giving people some feeling of autonomy over their lives at the very least :/

That ship has sailed. FP64 is artificially limited on AMD 290X graphics cards, as is workstation performance in enterprise software, and neither of those ideas was new at the time.

That ship sailed decades ago, in fact.

And in none of these cases, by the way, is computation prohibited. LHR cards are still capable of mining. A 290X can still run Solidworks. The choice of "prohibited" here is deliberately inflammatory - a word like "slowed" or "reduced" is more appropriate.

(But it is true there are cases like ECC on AMD APUs where it actually is fully prohibited.)

I think container escape is well understood by most to mean (for Linux) cgroups and/or the stack most folks use (containerd, Docker). It's a generic term but useful term, like VM escape, even though there are many kinds of virtual machine managers and hypervisors.

Yes, they need to prove that commercial real estate still holds any value at all, though I'm not convinced seeing this incredible shift towards remote economy. I think they just burned a bunch of money to be honest. Maybe in 15 years we will see the Apple campus converted to high quality free public housing, which would be a good outcome for all and certainly would create more value for society than it does now.

Why not now? We have to return to normalcy eventually so what do we gain by waiting? Everyone is going to be exposed to the virus occasionally so whether that happens in an office or somewhere else hardly matters.
Interesting. Deaths in the US are still a lot higher than I realised. I was basing my thoughts on UK data which I’m more familiar with and I thought would be relatively similar to the US but surprisingly not.
It’s not like they just decided - they did, they actually just decided. The change in cloth mask guidance proves it: no new data, we always knew they were ineffective.
Yes, it's called propaganda and with the help of technology is now stronger than ever. The shades of truth can easily be drowned in misinformation but there is a certain type of recipient who turns into an absolute zombie on this propaganda.

> Does no one do usability testing anymore? Sit down and make someone use the software. Not 'do x and y happens, call it a day' I mean end to end 'hey here is a task figure out how to do it' then sit on your hands and take notes while they try to do it? Bad interface design makes people feel powerless. That powerless feeling makes people give up and just accept that 'computers are complex'. Then once you are in that mode little changes become a huge deal.

The company probably sees usability testing as an unnecessary expense that doesn't improve their bottom line.

Thanks for the research and posting the article. So it does exist in other cars, but much less frequently. This article has 1.7 million affected cars and “ 278 complaints, the NHTSA says that only six of them alleged collisions with minor injuries, and no severe incidents have been reported.”

Compared to Tesla where there’s like half a million cars and at least one fatality.

Of course, this could be user error (eg, fall asleep, wake up, slam on brakes) so I don’t think blame can be assigned, but I don’t think Tesla gets an inappropriate amount of news coverage here.
