Since you can't really buy apple cpus or gpus and put them in a PC, for benchmarking... today at least one can't compare apple's hardware against intel hardware.

What one can compare, is the performance of the "Apple platform" and the "PC platform" at similar price points, power budgets, features. This is more meaningful for most people, which mostly care about how fast can the computer do X (whether it uses the CPU, GPU, or some other chip, most people don't care).

I love my K8 except for the paint on the key caps -- its way too thin. I've chipped off the faces of a few keys because (I think[0]) I don't trim my nails every few days, sometimes up to a week. To be fair, I have the same problem with my MBP keyboard, but not with a cheap gimmicky Razer "gaming" keyboard.

I know I can resolve this by trimming my nails every day but boy is that tedious.

I’m absolutely in favor of sanctions, as I am also in favor of this kind of “protestware”.

To me the equivalence is obvious, malware is just another kind of economic sanction.

>I won’t provide that because it’s bullshit

Why is it bullshit? What’s the moral difference?

The only difference I see is that sanctions are imposed by governments, but are the governments not also jerks if ”protestware” developers are?

If not, why not?

What about western companies pulling out of Russia without being legally required to do so? Are they jerks too? They sure are causing much more harm than these protestware developers.

> Buddy. You are obsessed with sanctions. Is it to do with your wife’s fathers billions?

It has to do with many of my friends who are currently stuck in Ukraine, in the middle of a war of aggression initiated by Russia.

Today my Kiev based PT called me in tears, asking if I can do anything to help his wife and children flee the country. He’s unable to leave the country himself due to the current rules. I get such calls every day.

I’m certainly biased, but probably not in the way you think. We’ll remain unimaginably rich regardless of any sanctions, not being able to land our jets in London is hardly anything to cry about, plenty of charters available.
On wikipedia I learned a lot more facts and it didn't even feel like memorization. I still remember the feeling.

I started with the general bacteria article on wikipedia. I was having trouble absorbing this knowledge and didn't know what to do, so I just randomly searched it on wikipedia and started reading. I didn't even expect anything but I got hooked on it. I especially remember reading about bacterial flagella and the little molecular engines that power them. Then I learned about how it could have somehow evolved into the type 3 secretion system, an almost literal needle some bacteria have that they can use to inject toxins into cells. Totally awesome, and it's just one of many bacterial virulence factors I had been mindlessly memorizing. I just kept following links and reading everything, the microbiology articles are so detailed. My attitude to this class completely changed, I was filled with curiosity once again. I was happy to go to the lab and experiment with our cultures.

Due to wikipedia I learned even more than what I needed for my class. I started discovering all sorts of cool stuff I had no idea even existed in nature. My favorite example is the article about cnidocytes, explosive cells that deliver stings. They have an organelle that stores large amounts of calcium ions. When triggered, the ions are released and the massive osmotic gradient causes a rapid influx of water into the cell, increasing volume and applying absurd amounts of acceleration to the stinger which is ejected outside and into the target on a nano- to microsecond time scale.
> If Europe will not stop a war in Ukraine in coming 2-3 weeks

As a European (living in Poland), I have to take offense to your phrasing. How is it our war to stop?

There is one big country that can stop this war, and it is not called "Europe". Everyone here in Central/Eastern Europe is trying to mitigate the damages, with donations, hospitality, volunteering.

Of course, the possibility of a peace treaty being signed also remains, and there is a long debate whether this would be good for Ukraine, good for Europe as a whole, etc., but yet again -- this is not "Europe" that will sign it.

Correct, but it also removes all the services Firefox comes bundled with (Pocket, Sync Sign-in, ...). Therefore less visual clutter and no more connections to Mozilla servers.

The way it works where i live, at least, is on all loans the principal can be paid in full with no penalty. So I get a 30 year fixed loan and when a better rate becomes available I can get a new loan and pay off the old one. The down side is transaction costs, things are getting more efficient but the owner will have to pay something to refinance the loan.
but he’s probably content.

Python type annotations are more useful for a human as a form of documentation, than they ever will be to a machine. I think Python completely ignores them at runtime, and tools like pytype or mypy will never capture all the complicated hacks possible in the Python type system (as evidenced by only 15% of repos passing mypy)
1) Management fees. A fund will usually get ~1% as a management fee. That means that if their allocation strategy gives return of 5%, you will see a return of 4%. Index funds have really low fees (<0.2%) so they don't have to perform as much as an actively managed fund to give better returns.

You can think of it as moving your average return up by 0.8%, that's very significant, especially when you consider that on average funds don't beat the market.

2) Correct, the article is either written by someone with a lot of time to pick stock and do due diligences or someone who convinced himself that their "gut feel" can beat the market. Either way historically those takes are not great.

EDIT: One thing I didn't add. Funds still have a good reason to exist, and that is risk management. Not all financial products want to replicate the SP500 index. You don't want your retirement fund to drop ~25% during a pandemic. That's where funds will shine. They can get you the right mix of bonds, banks and natural resources to stabilize your portfolio to +-4% every year. Some index funds do offer something similar (XCNS, XBAL) but it can still be worth having something actively managed.

A credit bubble may pop due to loss of confidence, but the loss of confidence is not purely non-deterministic psychological phenomena, it is due to the interest owed on the debt held by speculators which bought financial assets on credit exceeding the expecting asset price gains from buying or holding more assets. When speculators stop buying more assets on credit, asset gains dry up, and those which bought assets on credit or by slowing payments on other debts in hopes of making gains still have to make payments decreasing quantity of money in market causing sell off.

This might be a weird analogy but this product feels like it recreates the NFT problem -- meaning that it's inherently self-referential and doesn't actually solve the problem it purports to.

NFTs are supposed to be an irrefutable, immutable record of ownership. But the only thing they can actually "prove" is the ownership of the NFT itself. It's like having a receipt that says "I own this receipt."

It's a similar story here: using a QR code is proof that at one point you got this QR code from qrdate.org, but it doesn't prove you didn't manipulate the image or video, in which case what value is it providing?
As of late 2021, if you invested ten years back:

* https://seekingalpha.com/article/4423498-berkshire-hathaway-...

Note: price only comparison. S&P 500 funds generally give dividends (which can be re-invested). The (very) recent pull back has evened things out a bit:

> Over the past year, Berkshire is up 33%, double the gain in the S&P 500. The stock is now ahead of the S&P 500 over the past 10 years, 15.4% annualized versus 14.5% for the index, but still behind in the past five years, 13.3% annualized against 14.9% for the index.

Plot the stock price then select compare to SP500. You can select 1 year, 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, Max range

It's a bit glib to suggest that Japan and Korea are 'vassal states' because they partner with other nations towards mutual self defence.

Belarus is a vassal of Russia, Japan is not a vassal of the US or NATO.

It's also wrong to suggest that 'nations influence one another' as some kind of nefarious thing. Big countries with more people are naturally going to have more economic power, that's a universal issue, it doesn't mean that sovereignty is ceded.

"you and many others in the west show support for overturning their government means your democratically elected governments are using their power and influence to turn them into neo-colonies by dictating their domestic activity as if they answer to you"

This kind of rhetoric is better off on Reddit. You have no idea what I think, or what I support and none of that can be inferred from my comment.

"What is lacking from your disapproval of NK and Iran is an acknowledgement that they do not answer to you"

Piling on bad assumptions of others intentions don't make your case. Or any case.

Nowhere in my rhetoric did I suggest these states need to be 'answerable to anyone' let alone 'me'.

"I applauded NK and Iran because they preserved their sovreignity"

??? 'North Korea' is not 'sovereign'. 'Kim Jong-Un' is.

Only a wayward moral compass caught up in technical pedantry would 'applaud' the ruthless and totalitarian subjugation of millions of people to something worse than slavery as some kind of positive thing 'because sovereignty'. 'Sovereignty' should be a distant concern at that point. Who gives a crap about 'sovereignty' in the context of 'Kim Jong-Un'? It's almost irreleavnt.

"The US has no business in NK vs SK conflict so I can't support that"

Who cares what you support?

What do you think the people of S. Korea want?

The intervention in S. Korea was a UN mission - a broadly plural effort to help defend South Koreans from a fairly totalitarian North.

South Koreans are very glad to have the support of Americans (and others by the way, who fought in the 1950's and would come to their aid again).

You're ranting on about 'sovereignty' but implying that the US has 'no business in S. Korea' even at the behest of South Koreans? 'Because you don't support it'?

I was like that until I played Bloodborne and just bashed my head against the wall and grinded through the first boss (who was extremely difficult). Afterwards the game "clicks," and you get used to the difficulty. Then it becomes a rewarding experience.

I consider the original Dark Souls as one of the best video games ever made (I quit the first time I played it on Ps3). I played it again after playing Bloodborne, DS2, and DS3. And it aged very well. Sure, some parts are clunky, and it is missing some quality of life features found in later games. But it's a classic.
Remote working highlighted for me how much I previously relied on subtle social cues, body language and informal communication (e.g. lunchtime/pub chats) that all but disappeared.

This in turn made me feel isolated which i instinctively reacted to by isolating myself even more and procrastinating.

That jacked up the amount of stress I felt coz I felt hugely uncertain about everything all the time as well as unproductive which in turn led to me burning out.
> Unfortunately, it seems w3schools has since managed to acquire the w3fools domain

"Seems"? Do you know that it is true, or are you guessing?
It's both backward and forward :)

A lot of programs are dynamically linked; an older O/S may not support some newer librariers, and a newer O/S may not support older ones.

While static linking solves this, a hypothetical distribution that is fully statically linked, would take a huge amount space (and memory) - definitely one order of magnitude more (potentially more - a statically linked hello world in go is something like two orders of magnitude larged than the dynamically linked one, although this is an edge case).
I don't disagree, but at least if you're going to be putting software on there, do it properly and leave an escape hatch.
