You might say they have kicked right to repair in the teeth many times, but OSS? Ha no, this is the company that brought us WebKit (browser engine) which later brought us Blink, and also brought us CUPS (which is what allows Linux to print right now - there's Apple code in your Linux distribution for everyday functionality, gasp!) They've also done a ton of work and basically brought us LLVM which many Linux systems use as part of compiling.
First, many vaccines come in many rounds. Hell, there's an annual flu shot.

Second, a viable alternative to vaccination wouldn't be a bad thing. But Ivermectin is not that. So suggesting that it is is a bad thing.

And no one is suggesting you accept vaccines as "the only way forward". Pfizer is developing a treatment for after you've caught COVID. Work is being done in that direction. Currently, vaccines are your best safety measure. That's been borne out by the data available. Any way you look at it.
Glass has externalities as well. If all transportation weight is significantly higher that is going to have a large impact on global warming until we switch to clean transportation which to be frank is a long ways off if we are being honest.

Yeah it seems like the globalist mindset that much of the west adopted blinded it to the geopolitical realities that still govern international relations. Remember the "Russian reset"[1]? It was a big red button that was supposed to reset Russian relations. Remember when Obama criticized Romney for saying the biggest threat in the future would be Russia? Obama laughed it off because "this isn't the cold war anymore." Remember when Clinton gave China the NAFTA deal? GWB was cut from the same cloth as these other globalist-minded presidents.

The western globalist attitude involves giving power to our rivals in the hopes they will become our friends. Guess what...they're still our rivals.

Suddenly waking up about a minute before the alarm clock goes off happens to me, and other people, surprisingly often while none of the obvious explanations seems sufficient.

> This is why you shouldn't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan.

Nor strangers on the internet. Nor cable news networks.

Everyone agrees medical advice and treatment should be between a patient and their physician…unless you are Joe Rogan and one of the hosts of treatments your physician prescribes is Ivermectin. Then it seems it’s newsworthy and fair game to cherry-pick a single prescription therapy and disingenuously frame it as “Joe Rogan takes horse dewormer”, rather than Joe Rohan’s physician prescribes anti-parasitic therapy which studies show has potential anti-viral applications and early studies showed potential benefits for treating covid, and has otherwise is generally harmless to humans based on nearly a billion doses over decades.
I know it’s comforting to think that, but it’s really not the reason they were locking it up. The guy who lives next door to me got ivermectin from his vet (ostensibly for his dog) in case he got Covid. People were absolutely taking horse / dog medicine. Talk to any doctor in more rural areas (I have a few in my immediate family), tons of people were literally eating horse medicine and the reason Tractor Supply put it behind the counter was because people were taking it for human use.
This is fascinating.

I did this after 9 years. My M.O. in a new job is to find a pain point and fix it quickly. Specifically, find a pain point that either directly impacts productivity, customers, sales, ect. If you're "allowed" to fix the pain point, it's a good sign. If you have resistance, run quickly. It means that management doesn't know how to handle your expertise.

Why?

You're a lead, you should be able to see problems a mile away. Your new company should trust your expertise to anticipate and fix problems.

Examples:

I joined a company with a Mac product that would peg the CPU for days. It was impacting sales. Took me and another developer ~6 weeks to refactor some bad design decisions in a critical area. Pegging the CPU for days dropped to 1-2 minutes. (If I wasn't allowed to fix it I was going to leave.)

I joined another company that was using a beyond end-of-life web programming language. The lead developer resisted my efforts to transition to modern Javascript, and resisted my efforts to transition to modern hosted source control. It ended poorly, although there was a lot of relief when the leadership announced that they were switching to Github. (I should have asked them to lay me off so I could collect unemployment.)

I joined a company where a small team had a project spread over 3 git repos, with tons of little dlls. Simple refactors that Visual Studio could automate would take all day. I merged everything into a single repo, and merged many small dlls into larger dlls. Build time was much shorter, and refactoring was possible. (If I wasn't able to fix the problem, I was going to leave.)
The squashed commit message should include comprehensive documentation of what happened in the commit. There's no reason "check-in 2020-01-01" should appear anywhere. In the extremely rare case of needing to see how the commit was written step by step, the PR is still there.

Not sure what you're going on about.
>That's very debatable. Even individuals on HN (which is rare atmosphere) defended Apple's claims.

This isn't an accident, it happens due to Apple's pricing/marketing strategy. If you can convince people to pay a premium for your product (when compared to competitors), people psychologically _need_ that product to be better than the cheaper alternatives, or else they feel ripped off. Best to ignore anecdotes from customers and instead rely only on hard benchmarks/data and make purchasing decisions based on what is most suited to you.
A friggn tweet causes an effect through its influence on people who read it and act based on it.

I think what the parent is talking about is words that have an effect on something that isn't mediated by the responses of people who heard them. It's very easy to understand why a friggn tweet has an effect, because there's a clear mechanism behind how it causes that effect. Likewise the power of a witch-doctor is entirely based on how people respond to what they say and do. In contrast, it is extremely hard to rationalise any effect that is caused by "magical" words spoken to a mountain or a tree, because there isn't any part of that mountain or tree that understands the words, or has an ability to act on them.
In the EU the WEEE directives put the responsibility for recycling on the producers, although mostly this ends up being via third parties but many companies and retailers will allow you to turn in old goods, they're just quite quiet about it.

The rapid turnover of new products is widespread throughout our consumer based societies, not an Apple issue alone, and arguably their decision to not include accessories like a power brick reduces electrical waste as most people have one already. The extra packaging from these accessories is typically cardboard and trivial in comparison to producing unneeded small electronics.
"I'm sure that's fine for terminal usage, but seriously; who out there is going to daily-drive a laptop that has a non-functional GPU?"

Then how did Integrated Graphics sell so well in the broader marketplace? You'd think with their near-useless GPUs that were weaker than M1's software rendering that nobody could use them.

Also, whatever about M2 - Apple has structured their hardware to require minimum driver changes on each release. M2 will probably just be a few patches on the core driver, not a rewrite.

Oil, for one. Which has knock-on effects for the transportation of just about every other product out there. Then there's the natural gas that Germany is dependent on, and Germany is a major manufacturer / exporter.

> what actually people were buying from Russia except oil and gas?

Oh, so we have to worry only about the global consequences of oil and gas prices. Is that all? Only oil and gas.
Yup. Much of the Snowden and wikileaks reports revealed that the government is a lot more interested in getting your data before it's encrypted.

Granted. Of course. It also requires an additional purchase to use the other, superior way of charging that's built into new iPhones, which is MagSafe, of course.

But my point was limited to dismantling the repeated claim in this thread that moving to USB-C chargers somehow "required" a new purchase, or somehow meant that all the old chargers and cables don't work. Neither of those things is true and I'm tired of reading those distortions.

Obviously quick charging could not work at full speed with the old 5W chargers, and you can't magically make USB-A support more power, so the move to USB-C was necessitated by the ability to charge more quickly. But full backwards compatibility has been maintained, as much as is possible. That's all I'm saying.
Perhaps a dumb question, but if it’s focused, why is the star not a point, or small blob, but rather an enormous six-armed... star shape?
Apple didn't invent high quality
Sounds about right, it's not magic. AFAIK the Metal support in Blender is not very optimized yet (it's brand new) but even optimized I don't expect it to come close to an RTX 3090. I still find the results amazing, for the amount of power this thing needs if it reaches 2x slower after optimizations, that's massive. Don't forget that the Ultra also includes the CPU and RAM in the power consumption.

I think mini and micro USB were pretty common when the iPhone debuted but maybe I only higher end phones. You probably got a lot of trash chargers though, like an AC wart hardwired to a uUSB plug or some mini USB to DC barrel jack adapter abomination.
Yeah yeah, I also wanted to say... So far I repaired 1 charger, bought 3 or 4 new and eventually even found out that an iPhone charger I have is likely to have an electrical problem. That said, with the USB-C craze I think things got a little better

> Now, if you’re a medical doctor like he is and you spend hours poring over the studies, you can eventually conclude that they’re all flawed in various ways, and there’s not really an effect.

Sure, and that's why governments around the world employ such people, in significant quantities, to do exactly that, and then tell the media what they've concluded, who help distribute that information to us laypeople.

Which is exactly what happened.
I don't know why that made me laugh out loud, but it did.
The formulation that the forces “cancel out” at the Lagrange points bothers me, even though it’s not technically wrong.

At each of the five points, there’s a net gravitational force towards the sun (to be more precise: towards the common barycenter). This is easiest to see at L2 and L3 where the gravitational forces pull in the same direction.

There are now two ways to look at this combined gravitational force:

1. In an inertial reference frame (the one we imagine when we say the Earth revolves around the Sun), this combined gravitational force acts as a centripetal force. At the Lagrange points, it has precisely the correct value to keep the object in an orbit with period 1 year.

2. In the reference frame where Sun and Earth don’t move (that is, the reference frame that rotates at 1/year around the barycenter), every point experiences an apparent centrifugal force. At the Lagrange point, this centrifugal force cancels with the gravitational forces to keep the object stationary in this reference frame.

The math is completely the same (x=y vs. x-y=0). I personally just find the first view to be more intuitive.
No, I actually do conform to a rote/traditional lifestyle fairly closely. I'm actively trying to branch out with some success, but I'm also looking to talk to people who are unlike myself to get outside perspective, ideas for growth, and just to have a fun discussion!

I like to think I don't come across as aloof, self-centered, and dismissive, but -- like I mentioned in another comment -- who really knows what another thinks of them? Perhaps that's a good area to validate my assumptions so that I'm not shooting myself in the foot.

And on your last point, I definitely agree. Sometimes however you can find yourself in a situation where those barriers don't really apply and you can have a deep, interesting conversation with little prompting. I guess the heart of my question is about where people find those interesting conversations with greater regularity.

> This is why you shouldn't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan is a terrible person to get advice from.

But where are the good sources? Are science studies (funded by government, military or corporations) trustworthy? Is the government?

The issue is that all information has become obviously politicised. Which means it there are agendas in play foremost, rather than enabling the population to make informed decisions.
I don't quite understand it either, I got the same Filco tenkeyless MX brown which I got ten years ago and I'm happy with it.

But I do think it's pretty neat there's so much to choose from. How many people are complaining about a truly compact smartphone in the size of the original iPhone SE for example? You can choose between "large", "very large", and "I used to have a TV that's small than this". I think it's pretty neat that all these options exist, silly as I personally may think some of them are.
No, it hasn’t. You’re linking to a famously anonymous site which doesn’t control for quality because the purpose is to give people a number which looks positive secure in the knowledge that very few readers will notice how the studies showing positive effects are flawed or limited.

You can already use it now if you're targeting the platform. It's not the platform provider's problem if you're using a compatibility layer, that was your choice. Well, from a development POV at least, from a user POV, if your tools are using the compatibility layer, there is not much you can do.

We knew this would happen for everything using Rosetta, that's just part of transitioning to a new CPU architecture. For Vulkan vs Metal that's self-inflicted on Apple's part.
The poll found that 84 percent of adults said it is a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem that some Americans do not speak freely in everyday situations because of fear of retaliation or harsh criticism.

Criticism is not a problem with free speech -- criticism is free speech. In most situations, retaliation isn't, either. You may not like it, but nothing about free speech guarantees you the freedom from consequences, except from the government itself.

There is a very serious problem, that we've grown very hostile with each other, and would rather fight than work together. That's not a problem with the speech, but with our attitudes to our national life. You will not fix them by any tinkering with rules about what is and isn't allowed when somebody talks.
Every single Apple charger/cable I've ever had has frayed or gotten close to it, FWIW.

Heck, my old Nintendo DS chargers are still fine too.
