I'll start with a caveat that you have to be filter ex-mil people writing leadership books. There's a real issue of thinking a 1:1 copy of combat leadership into corporate/tech leadership will work, and a mountain of leadership books take that approach. That aside...

Stanley McChrystal's Leaders: Myth and Reality is a great exception. It's by both someone who's done the real deal of leading, but also controls for the above.

It covers a roster of leadership case studies that span personalties, time frames, and situations for the events one has to lead in, or the background of the leader. Examples are like Harriet Tubman/Civil War, Martin Luther/Protestant Reformation, MLk/Civil Rights, Einstein/science in the early 1900's, etc.

It does a very good job of showing that leadership isn't so much a personality and getting a team to a target outcome, but about high EQ and understanding the times, levers/tools, and people involved to build community and drive outcomes. It sort of sounds like I'm saying "it's not A, it's more about.. A" with that sentence. What I mean it it's a skill that grows from understanding nuance and how to leverage it. Not just a personality and focus on outcomes. If you focus on the team and how to resource, empower, and guide it, the outcomes take care of themselves.

Cool examples that stood out were Martin Luther and dealing with the follow-on peasant revolts that his movement started and that he didn't really support (iirc? been a bit of time since I read it), and Einstein and the role his extensive letter writing and his hub/spoke role in the scientific community as they contributed to the breakthroughs of the time from him and his peers.

The other huge part is understanding EQ, and how to deploy it tactically (but not cynically). You can define a basic leader as anyone trying to aggregate the support and resources to get a certain outcome. This often involves external resources and people to do, even if you're a solo operator. In that sense, where the basic leader fails is letting pride and short term wants get in the way of building that required support that requires other people. It's learning to manage the impulse to be right/valued/seen in the short term with valuing/seeing the other in support of ~the midterm... if that sort of makes sense.

Daniel Coleman: Emotional Intelligence is often recommended for this. I haven't read it yet, but plan to.

For a one stop shop, anything about "servant leadership" is a good move to study. Is it discussing resourcing and coordinating for a team and serving as the umbrella from stupid stuff from higher levels of the org? Is it a focus on mentorship and "training one's replacement." Is it elevating consistent performers who support their team and themselves over rockstars that go it totally alone? All usually good signs of a good leadership study. There was a link floating around HN a few days ago about like 40 bullet points for new EMs that hit all this very well.

I wondered that. If they were going to replace it with an ARM equivalent I would have expected it by now. They did mention a Mac Pro coming soon but nothing about the bigger iMac.

Edit: It looks like the 27" has disappeared from the web site.
Any mentions of the refresh rate? I've been waiting for a 4K/5K display that supports 120 Hz to pair nicely with my 2021 MBP, but it looks like the only available options so far are funky gaming displays: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors-mac/
I stand like this when I need a poo.
I'm not really sure about 1 (there are already many fighters from over the world), but they did 2. Unfortunately for this war, there aren't that many people in prisons there.
It doesn't seem like anyone wants to truly be in the server market. With so much going on in the cloud there really is a shrinking audience who need Mac specific server hardware on-prem or colo'd
Wow $4k is pretty crazy. I'm not saying it's a bad deal, just that it's enough to make someone think "do I really need this". I can build a powerhouse PC for $2k.
I thought this was fairly well understood that these communities follow some sort of Pareto ratio where a minority of people churn out most of the content, or are responsible for sending content to the top of feeds. I recall reading about it with regards to Twitter and Reddit, and it probably applies in some form or another with every social network that allows for passive participants.
I once worked for a company where several groups were VERY vocal about their complaints about each other. It seemed like bitching about the other team(s) was part of the job. Lots of walls built here and there between teams.

I kept quiet. I decided bitching was too tiresome / nobody was getting anything done, nobody was getting better by having complainants flung at them.

After I established relationships with various folks across the groups, I had folks from every team come to me / were available to me in ways they never would for each other.

My job was 2x easier as far as getting help / information / cooperation compared to the folks complaining non stop.

There were groups I agreed with / disagreed with (one group was straight wrong about nearly everything), but throwing a fit just made for worse relationships.

I still made suggestions to folks whose job it was to manage these groups, politely, gently, often quietly, but if they did or did not fix it / repeating myself wasn't a big focus for me.

I've long since given up on right and wrong (well outside real moral issues) and more about how to get to the end as best as possible with the relationships / people available.
I really really hope not. As sad as this is, revenge will only escalate things. We want to be able to have our kids talk to their grandkids about the mistake that happened and that it ended as quickly as it started.
this is not my experience at all. All the people who were popular in high school and who have a very active social life are also the most prolific twitter users.

The aren't generally arguing though.
Yeah, I know it's anecdotal... but when I've had issues with people that "stuck", and didn't go away on their own, I've had a lot of success writing those people a letter. It forces me to present all the information factually, how I feel about it, why I feel that way, etc. which helps elucidate the charitable and less-charitable interpretations of what happened. In writing, I have to reread and edit what I wrote a dozen times at least to make it nice and coherent. I also have a rule, that I can't send out such letters until the next day after writing the letter. Every time I've done that, I didn't need to send the letter after I wrote it. The anger was gone. Sometimes it persisted for weeks leading up to me writing the letter.

I would absolutely describe that as "venting". I just wouldn't describe it as super aggressive or hostile, even though sometimes I think the letters were pretty harsh.
Really? This is easy, don't hurt other people.
That would get you 20,000 lumens out of a 200w panel, which is a lot closer to what I think the original post was all about. You'd still have to wire the whole thing up, however.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help me with my problem of trying to get a brighter and higher CRI "bulb" for my garage.

I have resisted replacing the T-8 fluorescent light fixture, because I'd like to have a mix of technologies for the lights in that space. You know, in case the temperature in the garage gets too low and takes out one or the other technology -- I've seen major flickering and strobing with LED lights when it's really cold outside.

But I am starting to wonder if maybe I should replace the T-8 with LED-based models.
I mean, I'm talking what is probably the highest-end LED lighting, and I haven't found anything equivalent, feature-wise, on AliExpress. (that said, maybe I missed it! It's a wide, disorganized place)

I have cheaper strips that I use for kitchen counter lighting, under the cabinets, and those work fine for that application. But for my main room lighting, I've come to really appreciate the ability to shift the whitepoint (to such a wide range), and the brightness the Bifrost provide.
>Face ID is a step back in usability for most cases, since you have to be looking at your phone to unlock it.

You can flip a switch in the settings to turn off the requirement to look at the phone to unlock it.
Manufacturers are not interest in maximising their social benefit: they want to maximise their profit and this is done by producing fewer items but at a higher price (to be technical, a monopoly would produce until marginal revenue = marginal cost).

Manufacturers can set recommended retail prices but their are limitations to how these can be enforced.
Isn't the whole dynamic of twitter that it can make a highly vocal minority viewpoint seem like an oppressive majority viewpoint, where reality is that it's like a heckler's veto on amphetamines with a megaphone?
It's possible tastes have changed, but historically it's been pretty popular in the US. I think the games going much slower and longer and the change of the game to be more about power hitting and strikeouts at the expensive of balls in play has made it worse even for the people who might otherwise still be interested.
You’re getting cancelled for your views? Which views are those, exactly?
I disagree with the wording of the article or its title's wording.

Not being on Twitter is being called "silent"? Is that the yardstick for not being silent?

I'd rather communicate outside of giant echo chambers and text length limitations and engagement optimized (a)social spying media, with real people and speak out there. With family, friends, the neighbors or the neighborhood, for example. Outrage about whatever on Twitter will not help anyone much, except Twitter.

I would also guess, that more than 25% of people in the US vote in elections. Surely that is not "being silent".
They absolutely do not care. My favorite feature is the ability to download podcasts for offline play--podcasts that are then inaccessible when offline because the rest of the UI requires an internet connection to load and function.

A 27" LCD screen from 2014 for only 1600$. Wow.

Oh, the stand is extra!!! HAHAHAHA!

It's actually 2000$ with the 'height-adjustable' stand - the exact price of an iMac from 2015 that came with the exact same LCD monitor - except, you know, there was also a computer in there!
No 12Hz is so unfortunate. Hopefully the next Pro Display XDR will have ProMotion, at the very least.
Most of the features announced are quite nice but strangely (for an Apple product), the primary feature being the display is simply not. As far as I can tell, it doesn't even have 120 hz let alone a good local dimming implementation.
Exact same story except recently I created an empty account with private lists that I follow (so not even the people I "follow" is public), and I can still keep up with some topics from a source of information that generally is on the bleeding edge. Usually I find things in twitter / discord first, then they hit Reddit, then mainstream media. If you only follow reddit you have a slight delay currently, and for some of my interests, fresh information is helpful.
> likely will be for a few years, since Apple usually sells old models for that long.

They usually only sell the mainstream models longer. The iPhone 6/7/8 form factor was continued with the SE 2020 and now 2022, but the Plus wasn’t. So I’m not too hopeful for the mini.
if they can identify you they're perfectly within their rights to take it out of your account balance
They said "a new Mac Pro is coming, but that's for another day" in the event.
The Mac Studio is a very attractive offer for people doing audiovisual work on Macs. The price of 6K and even 8K video cameras is dropping through the floor, and working on that much raw data is demanding.

The Ultra with all those 'neural engines' is a steal at four grand, if you need it.
This article is spot on.

How could Microsoft resist creating a subscription-based Windows-as-a-service where users are charged every month (or every year) to use their computer.

Subscription revenue streams are ideal for Microsoft as Azure, Office 365, and Xbox passes have shown.
Looks like all the people saying "just start fusing those M1 CPU's into bigger ones" were right, that's basically what they did for the top of the line new M1 CPU (fused two M1 Max'es together).

And since the presenter mentioned the Mac Pro would come on another day, I wonder if they'll just do 4x M1 Max for that.

Webcam and sound aside, the display specs seems very similar to the LG Ultrafine 5k released all the way back in 2017 for $1299: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMUB2LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k...

The Studio Display is an additional $300.
100% this. I remember the USA's "Mission Accomplished" line/speech and the years of American propaganda that followed which said we were doing great things in the middle east. In reality we blew up a lot of people (soldiers and civilians), cities, and spent a shit load of money to accomplish what?

I'm very skeptical of any news coming from either side currently.
Looks like 60hz. I don't think anybody has 5k/120hz working yet.
On the contrary, this seems to me a very healthy way to live. Until the last 15 years, very few people had their views expressed beyond a narrow circle. Standing on a public stage and shouting your every thought would have seemed crazy.

Whataboutism is when you discuss the content instead of just bickering over the headline.
I don't think so, and Wikipedia is back for me. But that was my first thought too when I suddenly couldn't get to either Wikipedia or Discord. Both are places where Russians might be getting their own outside information.
Touch ID seems to stop working when people get old. Several people I know it doesn’t work properly for. Skin related.
I'm surprised they don't control for(or even mention!) fruit juice consumption, which can end up bioaccumulating dangerous amounts of lead and other heavy metals at a surprisingly low daily intake ([0] ~4oz of juice per day). I also very rarely see anyone talking about this source of lead intake - usually it is focused on water pipes or paint chips. Do black children drink more fruit juice than non-black children? If fruit juice consumption is anything like soda consumption(which I suspect it is, but have no proof), then the answer is yes[1]:

> With whites as the reference group, the odds of consuming soda was 3.1 times higher for U.S.-born blacks (95% CI 2.6–3.7), 2.4 times higher for Puerto Ricans (95% CI 1.9–3.0), and 2.9 times higher for Mexican/Mexican-Americans (95% CI 2.0–4.1). Those living in households with income less than 200% of the federal poverty level were more likely (odds ratio [OR] = 1.7, 95% CI 1.4–2.1) to be frequent soda consumers than those in households earning 600% or more of the poverty level.

I live in CA and love Touch ID. But I have friends who live in colder/wetter places who don't like taking off gloves or drying off fingers to unlock their phones.

Touch ID and Face ID are both mixed bags. Would be great if they had both, but I understand that space is at a premium and they may want to push for a single authentication solution.
Honest answer: If the blocks aren't* contiguous, there's an index for that!

(* It depends on the database type. In an LSM-tree layer, the blocks are typically contiguous in a file, so direct binary search is possible, though it might not be the most efficient method. The filesystem handles locating blocks in this case.)

The database table is disk blocks containing data where the blocks are logically in order of keys, as if in a contiguous array. Really they are laid out differently on disk.

So there's a block index, which is just a smaller version of the same table data structure: a table mapping keys to values, implemented as blocks in logical order of keys, as if in a contiguous array. Except in this index, the map is from key-ranges of the first table to block locations on disk. This index lets you go from keys to block locations on disk, and it also lets you do a course-grained version of the binary search to narrow down to a single block of the larger table.

Ok, but then how do you look things up in the block index if it's using the same kind of data structure, made of multiple blocks? Same again: Each block index has its own smaller block index.

This neat recursive definition gives you a tower of progressively smaller block indexes until the size is just one block, which doesn't need an index.

Guess what you get when each table of logically sorted, contiguous blocks has a smaller index to say where the blocks are really located?

The data structure is called a B-tree (technically a B+tree), and the smallest index is the root block.

The tree structure arises from the recursive description, where each table has another table (until it stops).

This is a decidedly non-standard way of describing the B-tree data structure. There's no explicit tree. But it's a valid and useful alternative view. (Note, these block indexes are not what is generally meant by database indexes, and they are not visible at the SQL level. They are an implementation detail.)

One of the useful things to emerge from this view is that each level is just logically a flat table, made of blocks that are logically in key order but have arbitrary physical location. It's not necessary for every index to use the same data structure, or be on the same storage. Depending on how you think about algorithms, this description might be simpler to work with.

> Many have gone on record and said even if they wanted to make them here the engineer volume and expertise are nowhere to be found except in China now. The speed with which they can deploy factories for new processes in China is unprecedented. You can’t match that here in the US.

This is circular reasoning. We can't make them here because we don't.

Yes, obviously it would take time to build capacity, but it's silly to argue China is fundamentally capable of something that the US is not. This is purely a question of cost (and, therefore, motivation).

What should probably be countenanced, in my opinion, is "supply chain readiness": make _some_ of the iPhones domestically, so that if it becomes necessary, it is much faster to ramp domestic production. That hurts profits in the short term, but it probably does enhance long term expectation profits (conflict with China is less disastrous).

Unfortunately Wall Street is notorious for its emphasis on the short term -- and that has next to nothing to do with politics.
I wonder if Covid manufacturing constraints led Apple to split it up. It would be easier to make separate screens and a large mac mini.

That problem was noted during the pendency of the crisis that became the Korean War; while UN action there was facilitated by Soviet absence from the relevant Security Council session, it was realize that that wasn't a reliable safeguard against deadlock in important situations, hence, notwithstanding the Security Council’s primary role in international peace and security, the UN General Assemyin 1950 adopted a framework for it to deal with such issues when the primary organ was incapable due to disunity, via the “Uniting for Peace” process.
I tried being a Twitter user for a bit last year, mostly because a lot of engineers I admire use it to communicate about interesting topics and also their work. But after a while, I realized even they will pollute my feed with politically divisive topics, whether it be from them retweeting something, or liking a tweet, or even entering into the fray themselves -- Twitter will find a way to get me to see it. For a while, I resolved "OK, if anyone retweets this stuff, I will simply unfollow them" but eventually this felt self-defeating.

I know a lot of folks in my field side by the stance that everything is political, even code. Call me irresponsible, but I've honestly led a much happier and stress-free life living in the fantasy world where that is not the case, and I can enjoy my hobby in open-source without Github issues becoming a shouting match that spans 200 comments from people who aren't even invested in the codebase.
