This reads like a list of questions designed to avoid the things you hated about your past job. Which is totally understandable, but this is way too many details - you won't get time to ask all these. I'd try to narrow this list to more general questions that will still give you the answers you desire by letting them talk more about themselves and you taking on the burden of reading between the lines for details. Aside from being more time efficient, it also is better psychologically speaking - helping them to talk about themselves in a positive light makes you look interested and makes them feel valued vs. making you look cynical and wary.

Yeah, a complete no brainer for me to get myself and my family vaccinated.

Of course I can't A-B test my own ability to cope with Covid with zero vaccinations and triple boosted, so the points of the person who replied to me strike me as just silly.

I experienced them with triple shots, and was happy if that might have reduced my exposing time somewhat if applicable. There definitely was a grey area of time between kind of noticing something akin to symptoms, and using one of the precious RAT tests. Most of that time spent using a mask around people, just because default.

I was impressed with the Redis codebase too. I think it benefits from being relatively new in C terms so it doesn't have too much baggage (2009, is really new in terms of C projects!). It must also take a lot of discipline on behalf of the maintainer.

I seem to remember Postgres and Sqlite were relatively accessible to a low intermediate C programmer. When I've had to look at Android code (more C++ admittedly) I've started to get lost very quickly.
My account is definitely not inactive (I've done multiple pushes to it yesterday and today) and the API you're using confirms I'm active yet it still shows as available on your site. So there's definitely a bug in your code somewhere.

Ask HN: Book Recommendation for macOS Development
Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get back into macOS application development. I used to know the basics of Objective-C and Cocoa stuff back on the early days of Mac OS X with big cat names. At the time, I got a lot of value from the Cocoa Programming book from Big Nerd Ranch.

These days, it seems that every book about programming for Apple platforms is focused on iOS. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad, but I'd rather develop desktop apps.

It appears to me that the documentation site has been neglected, and that the search engine algorithms favour returning videos and quick tutorials over books. Anyway, I'm having a hard time figuring out a good recent book about developing desktop apps for macOS. I don't care if it is Swift or Objective-C, I like both.

Can someone here point me in a good direction?

Thanks.
I had an Atari Portfolio back in the day. It was quite a fine machine with decent battery life. Made for a great PDA with a keyboard I could fluently write on. I'm sure I still have it packed away somewhere along with some Atari 8-bit computers that I got instead of the Sinclair ZX-81 which my parents refused to let me buy saying it was only a toy. Ironically Atari made far more games and was great for learning to write them.
The one thing I find the most terrible is the "10 different UI conventions" thing. Dig enough and I bet you'll find a control panel or some other thing the has Windows NT 3.1 look and feel.

It says a lot how low the abstraction levels must have been that it's impossible, even to Microsoft, to update the UI widgets of a long-dead Windows release without breaking something else.
D'oh! Thanks for the correction! Rust using std:: for its standard library does make some code snippets ambiguous!

I think property tests work well on larger things, with a super basic assertion they're essentially just fuzzers. You can point hypothesis at a swagger spec and let it test your API like this.

I built a property testing library back in the day when I made a library for creating UIs. I was then able to write tests like

* Given an arbitrary UI

* And an arbitrary up/down/left/right list of user direction (this was the only way of navigating)

* If they press a direction and the focus moves, pressing the opposite direction takes them back to where they were before

This uncovered bugs in interfaces like this with 3 items, bottom left is in focus and you press right. Now press left, users probably want to go back to the bottom left rather than top left.

┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌──────┐
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
└─────┘ │ │ └─────┘ │ │
│ │ ────► │focus │
┌─────┐ │ │ ┌─────┐ │ │
│focus│ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
└─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘ └──────┘

Another one was

* Given an arbitrary list of API calls to add/remove/change the UI and user direction presses

* There is always only one item in focus, or no items at all

This actually uncovered a specification bug. We had two requirements

1. Always have an item in focus if there are any that can be in focus

2. If you delete all the items, then add one back in, it's not focussed

Those conflict, but we never noticed, and even had passing unit tests for both cases.

I think property tests can map very nicely to the level of system description that we typically want. I'd love to see larger integration with BDD tools.
You're mistaken - we still use basically the original jerry can design in the Army today.

>so the public should get to exercise more oversight.

Every public institution has open board meetings, with board members who are either publicly elected, or appointed by an elected official. They also have constant and consistent reporting to the state and federal government about budget, student achievement, and various institutional and student based outcomes. I think maybe it's less that there needs to be more reporting, and maybe just put what we already have in a more accessible format?

Got with your gut. You can always go to MIT later. They have good postgrad, right? ;) Try the Jeff Bezos "regret minimization framework", see if that helps your thinking. Picture yourself in the future, down each of the chosen paths, and see which one you prefer, which one has more regret? Helps to take a perspective outside of yourself, outside of time.
Yes, that's my point. Either it's possible to detect, then there's no reason to target specifically Russian disinformation. Or it's not, and then it's just a matter of blocking all Russian information, not disinformation.

> A 32gb mini would probably be a great value/sweet spot which is why Apple likely doesn't offer it.

Oh come on. That’s actually the classic apple move to have a low end entry product and a higher margin upsell product which is where all the sales happen. It’s why their phones start with low levels of storage (pretty much have to buy the next step up at minimum) and conversely why there is a pointless higher end storage option for the apple tv (grabs a little extra cash from those who can afford it).

I am surprised the high end mini hasn’t been switched to M1 max. That’s the machine I want — the studio is too large and too much for my needs but the M1 mini doesn’t do it for me (I just use a laptop instead).

I guess it will be the entry level M2 device sometime this year.

From the post:

>If you want to be good at activity X, you have to start to see yourself as an X-er – to act like an X-er.

This is what struck me the most. It's a terrible generalization (beyond the limits of a mathematicians competence) that doesn't hold up - you can be good at any given topic without actually identifying as anything. Since I have no degree in psychology, I'm in no position to actually claim to know better. That being said: the notion that identifying with anything somehow enables you to reach deeper ends of a field is simply off. Afaik, identifying with anything is more a blockage than anything else. Also, the mere fact that he is an educator is meaningless to me in this context, as some of the most ignorant/filled with hubris people I've come across can call themselves educators, so if anything I take that term as counter-indicative for general competence.

That being said, I may have judged too harshly given that I missed the clarification in the last paragraph.
Windows users need a change in priorities. FTFY.

The OS has gone to shit, but people keep right on using it and complaining about how bad it's getting. What is your lame priority for sticking with it? Don't tell me gaming - get a console or VR headset, or steam on Linux. If you're that hung up on one game that doesn't run anywhere else then again you need to change your priorities. If it's using Excel or Word with a bunch of customizations that won't work in LibreOffice, again you need to change your priorities or approach to solving the problems you did that to solve.
It's of course impossible to do that, which is why it's a bad idea to pretend you can.

I love Gnome on Wayland, but don't be a fool like me, and stay away from it if you use any nvidia hardware. The most recent drivers supposedly add support fort proper Wayland (instead of relying on optional extensions) but enabling it under nvidia has caused nothing but trouble for me.

I wouldn't call it the MacOS interface for Linux. It's more of a mix of Windows and macOS paradigms with its own unique spin on things. I strongly dislike the macOS interface with its arbitrary limitations (window snapping? what's that?) and plain weird keyboard shortcuts (hitting enter on a file in Finder renaming the file instead of opening it, for one) and I find the Gnome interface much usable.

Sadly, the gnome people are a weirdly political bunch when it comes to things like server side/client side decorations and other such decisions. There are also comical problems like the lack of a thumbnail preview in the file picker, an issue that has been waiting to be resolved for longer than some of the people here have been alive (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141154&, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/233). In a month the issue will be old enough to vote, drink and drive.

Gnome is great when it works for you, but if you give it an honest try and it doesn't, you won't be able to fix it. Luckily, KDE supports Wayland and its niceties as well, and it's quite good for the people that tend to dislike Gnome.
I struggle with this (kiddo is at the stage will be applying in a few years, so have thought about it), as it essentially relies on network effects with a large/unknown variance. (Is the MBA network comparable to OPs path?)

What do people peg the OPs chances of following the stated career path at State vs MIT?

(Disclaimer, have gotten a terrific education at state schools and have what I take to be a reasonably successful career from that starting point. So default bias to choose state over more expensive alternatives.)
There is a lot of talk about decoupling universities, and their coming collapse. Let me take the contrary opinion, and defend why they will stay. (This is not a defense of their efficacy, only their economics)

Private non-profit universities are essentially run by their tenures faculty. At prestigious universities the focus is primarily research. Everything they do should be in the eyes of this stakeholder group.

The “undergraduate experience” exists as a profit center to fund the tenured faculty. Sports teams and fancy dorms (and binge drinking) are more important (and easier to quantify) to the buyers of education than educational quality so that’s where the investment goes. Buyers will choose “facilities and brand” over education enough to keep the schools looking elite. As long as admissions grades and test scores are high enough, the rest doesn’t matter. (The kids will succeed in life anyway)

At “for profit” universities just replace the tenured faculty with shareholders. Same model just no pretense of research.

For 2nd and 3rd tier universities it’s similar but with much less money to go around. (Less endowment and tuition)

Layer onto this that the government is guaranteeing the bill and you have no incentive for the folks in charge to change their behavior.

As a society we can say we are tired of being on the hook, but until that happens there is a lot of inertia to overcome. That’s why we didn’t see a mass collapse of universities in any of the last 4 recessions.
It’s unlikely to speed up your use case as a single threaded program seems to be the same speed on the Studio as on an MBP.

Clicking on the link I though "I wonder it it starts with time.sleep"

My bank, by default, only allows 3-D Secure transactions, since six or seven years ago.

There is an escape hatch where you can disable it for 60 minutes. Steam used to require going through that procedure, but they've implemented 3-D Secure for a while now.

Shopping at Amazon is a pain. They don't use 3-D Secure, and they don't even perform the transaction during checkout. Instead, they send a "payment declined" e-mail somewhere between a few minutes and a few days later, at which point I have to re-enter my payment details.
They said they used to use Mint, implying Mint doesn't have Wayland. But that is software not hardware.

Re-reading, I suspect the new hardware with high-DPI requires Wayland, because X11 has poor support for high-DPI (implying Wayland supports it better).

If by "really powerful computer" you mean "couple year old cellphone" then yes.

I wonder if the iOS device is connected to the display at all or if it just there to run the camera and some peripherals?

If it is connected to the display, I wonder if the future game plan is to allow for a wireless display using something similar to Sidecar. Totally laggy for some, totally convenient for others who may wish to wirelessly dock a smaller screen iOS device to it.

Sublime is great, but I switched to VScode for the built in terminal.

I know there is terminus in Sublime, but I can't send commands to it like I can in VCode. My use case being:

- I open up a spec file and I am on line 123
- I press CMD+Shift+R and it will open a terminal tab, if it isn't there already
- It runs: `bin/rspec path_to_file:123`

I can't do that with Sublime.

What I CAN do with sublime is run the command as a build, which is almost perfect, but it hangs when I add a `binding.pry` because it isn't interactive. Hence making it unusable in this way.

Maybe there is something else I can do like running an iTerm tab or something I don't know of?

> ...the all-seeing eye of Sauron and the panopticon gaze of Big Brother...

There's actually a depth in the comparison and contrast there. The man of faith saw hope in the limits of evil people. In particular, lack of perspective and hubris can bring down even tyrants. And there is a Creator to give confidence that coincidence and divine plans can be the same thing.

There are different flavors of atheism, but many atheists see governments as being the most powerful agents in existence, so an evil, competent, and observant government is quite terrifying indeed. There's no particular reason to hope that a person can ever escape or defeat that kind of monster.

Guess I’m nobody, then. I really like Gnome. It works and gets out of my way. I don’t have to spend days configuring it or researching edge cases (like in WMs) and I don’t have to fiddle like crazy to make it look consistent (like on other DEs).

One of the nice things about Linux is, I can choose Gnome and you can choose whatever it is that you like. There’s plenty of room for diversity of opinion.
