I had one of the original M1 pros. Upgraded to a 16” max fully loaded. I notice no difference in performance. The extent of my “hardcore” use is having dozens of safari tabs open.

If/when MacBook Air gets the M2 redesign (hopefully with the super nice screen), that will be the no brainer purchase of the decade.

James Burke's Connections episode 9: Countdown [1], covers the invention of limelight, gives a history of the technology and places it in context. The entire series is intertwined (thus the title, Connections), but if you start watching Ep. 9 at 18:30 it gives plenty of preamble for the need for the invention before introducing it and covering its adoption.

I chuckled. I'm glad you still have your sense of humor. But from another perspective, yes, it's quite sad for humanity. I remind myself that disease and war were far more widespread in centuries past.
Algorithmic feeds are always hostile to the user. They limit what a user sees, and slowly infantilizes them by teaching them to passively consume rather actively seek information.

I've never encountered a situation where an algorithmic feed made things better. At best, they make things more addictive.
Really sad to hear this. The TRS-80 Model I was the first computer I ever owned in high school. I spend many, many hours programming on it. Taught myself BASIC and Z-80 assembly language on it. Definitely was a major factor in my professional life.
I’ve yet to attempt a video call on battery power but I have heard of a similar experience from a friend.
But why are phones considered gated platforms in the first place?

How is a phone not just a general computing device? How is a phone not just a laptop in a different form factor? Because Apple/Google say so?

There would be massive pushback if developers had to pay $100/y and 30% of revenue to develop an app for macOS, or Windows. But for iOS and Android we just accept it as true.

I don't know, I just feel like phones are a lot closer to laptops than they are to video game consoles. I don't feel like them being gated is justified, or good for anyone other than Apple/Google.
Yeah, some people have called it the great quickening. Basically, all the couples would have ended up divorced at some point, and it only accelerated the process.
Right, it wasn’t astonishing incompetence, fluent morality, and unrestrained narcissism, but rather a strategically clever display of unpredictability to keep the enemies off-balance and guessing.

I look forward to the quasi-spam slurry of infiniscroll feed crap once growth hackers start trying to game the algorithm to get more traction for their project.

I don’t think you can introduce a recommendation algorithm without it having a negative effect on the content it’s supposed to aid discovery of. Pre-recsys, the content is made for human consumption, but once you add the recsys, the AI itself becomes part of the audience and its opinion matters. Unfortunately its opinion matters more than the humans’, but its taste is abysmal. So content gets optimized for a brain dead AI and humans get garbage.

I hate it because GitHub was one product I really loved, but since MS bought them it seems like they are doing all this random stuff to solve problems that aren’t even a problem. How about getting back to the basics, like reliable uptime, and less glitchy JS soup?
The real beauty of M1 architecture isn’t the raw speed, but the computing power per watt. This allows apple to throw a decent bit of wattage for solid performance. And very little wattage for perfectly acceptable performance (and amazing battery life). But it’s not blisteringly fast.

My Thoughts on Open Sourcing
You could reduce this to just rounding using the 40% rule + minimum of 1 bold letter right?

1 * .4 = .4, 1 bold letter (minimum)

2 * .4 = .8, 1 bold letter

3 * .4 = 1.2, 1 bold letter

4 * .4 = 1.6, 2 bold letters

etc.
In a former life, I worked as a stage and orchestra manager, including a few contracts with some of Australia's most well-known professional orchestras and opera companies. tl;dr: They work harder, for longer hours, than the vast majority of people in tech.

They will spend a full working day in rehearsal, then go home and spend a few hours doing solo practice. They will spend hours of time (often uncompensated) notating scores ahead of the first rehearsal of new work or production.

As others have pointed out, the economic model for orchestras and just about any live performance cannot support high salaries. Many musicians will have instruments worth thousands of dollars, so they will have loans against them. Then there is the venue and equipment hire, the transportation costs and the wages for the crew behind the scenes - people to set up the stage and run the show (like me), lighting and sound designers and operators, etc (14+ hour days are not uncommon).

It is a very hard way to earn a living, and on top of it all most jobs are contracts measured in weeks or months, not full-time positions. Not only do you have to be unbelievably talented and passionate about it, you also have to possess superhuman resilience to handle the lifestyle. I have nothing but respect to people who do this job for a living.
I'm happy seeing random/algorithmically picked stuff shown on the homepage RHS ("Explore repositories") - it doesn't hurt me, and I might find something useful there.

I don't want algorithmic stuff on the _main_ part of the page, which instead contains repositories and people I follow. I'd draw the line at this.

Speaking of railways and factorio, you can design factories than do bulk local transport using rail rather than belt buses.

Mine’s a railway grid of ‘cells’ with roundabouts at each intersection. Each cell does a specialised function eg oil and coal to rocket fuel, lubricant and petroleum gas. When another cell needs something it just enables a train stop using a circuit network, and the nearest supply train sets off to deliver it.

I’m basically playing ‘model trains’ at this point!
Having spoken with a few professional orchestra muscicians, this doesn’t appear to be true. They have honed their craft enough that they only need one practice before any given performance.

> The internet is a network. You are on the edge of the network. There's a gateway between you and the network.

Everything you have said above is wrong, and sounds like propaganda from Silicon Valley cloud computing cults:

- the Internet is a network of networks, not a single unified network

- you are not "on the edge" (this is only valid from a cloud vendor perspective): if the target audience for your services is in your neighborhood and your ISP is user-friendly, you are in fact "in the center" right where it matters and you can provide much better services to end-users than from a remote continent

- there's routers on your path on the network, but there's no gateway between you and the network: you may have a LAN with local addresses but that doesn't even have to be the case (you can have public IPv6 for everyone on your LAN), and if Google just happens to be next door to your house you can take your own cable to them (assuming they would let you) and do BGP with them directly from your home router (assuming you can configure it, and you get an AS number)

So i agree with you what you describe is typical in the centralized setups that Silicon Valley has pushed to (successfully) render our lives miserable, but there's no reason this has to be. People from non-profit ISPs such as NYCMesh or the FFDN federation certainly make sure we don't have to live in this perpetual nightmare.

> Switching ISP takes on the order of days instead of minutes.

Good point, but this is only because public-serving infrastructure have been cannibalized by corporations. It doesn't have to be this way, in the great scheme of things. Moreover, once you have a decent neutral ISP you usually never need to switch.
One part of it is figuring out who you are and acting accordingly.

However, a persistent problem I face with any approach to pursuing happiness is how to get my body to perform the things that would make me happy instead of the things some unconscious part of me chooses to direct it to do; those things are rarely the same.

I quite literally and frequently feel like I have no or extremely limited conscious control over my actions, and to make myself do something I want to do that the unconscious executor strongly disagrees with due to anxiety or ADHD or whatever, I have to set things up so that there is literally no other option. That's pretty difficult to do, and quite stressful.

I'm also someone who needs to be constantly doing things because when I'm not distracted, my brain tends to start generating thoughts that lead to severe emotional pain; again, something I don't have much control over.
This is a heart breaking story. Stories like these really put life in a different perspective. This sort of reminds of me my brother's wife story. She died of Glioblastoma at very young age (age 34).

“ Young John, a math whiz, calculated the change in his father’s grocery store without using the cash register.”

This is still common in small shops. Not sure why the NY Times thinks basic arithmetic is hard.

A short comment on the inadequacy of static model of this situation. The developments internal and external in Rus., the military aspect of the conflict as well as economic force-fields are in a state of very intense flux (and that is an understatement on the magnitude of how dynamic the situation is). So, there are going to be real and justified shifts in opinion, morality and facts (as they will be incorporated into models of reality) as time goes on, and, as well as in the final analysis when all is done.

If the objectives Rus. declared were achieved in one week (basically regime change of Ukr. along with Donetsk+Luhansk+Crimea territorial concessions) not only the (geo) politics but also morality of the conflict would be most likely looked at a different angle (academically speaking). It looks like now that the conflict enters stalemate with guerilla warfare with lot inevitable atrocities (which will be counted for an aggressor) then objectively and subjectively the morality including all the other analysis layers will be in a yet different angle.

If there is yet more escalation and the conflict will turn into global military conflict, then the actions preceding it as post-facto will be interpreted yet in a different manner.

In other words, facts can only be interpreted within a context of a model (of the world - in a largest possible context including the subject itself). So, it is clear (and there are plethora peer-reviewed papers in for.aff. journals calling "NATO expansion a gross error in maintaining peace" starting in 1999-2000 already, and more published every year. They are trivially easy to find for those interested). However, these will be most likely looked at differently (as one commenter already demonstrated that tendency already).

I don't understand how modularity is meant to solve nuclear's issues.

* Nuclear is expensive

* Nuclear is unpopular locally (aka nimbys veto it)

* Nuclear waste needs to be dealt with properly.

Making reactors smaller doesn't seem to fix any of these does it? Are people willing to accept a 100MW reactor but not a 1000MW reactor next to their kids schools? Is it cheaper to build and run 10 100MW reactors than a single 1000MW one?

I doubt it...
A friend of mine worked on the Model I OS, it was surprisingly sophisticated. I didn't own one, but borrowed a friends occasionally to play with.
> Ultimately, that's very similar to what old-school ways of declaring Promises do in Javascript.

Yes, and monadic code suffers from the same problem, that's why Haskell has do-notation

do
b <- fun1 a
c <- fun2 b
pure c -- using Purescript's pure instead of Haskell's `return`

instead of

bind(fun1, (a) => bind(fun2, (b) => pure(b)))
Having played the violin for ~16 years and been in many competitions, I'd have to say it's fairly easy to differentiate musicians. There are pieces of music that push the the limit of what your fingers can do, and some interpretations generally win out over others.

Making friends is hard. It's a big commitment for both parties, you have to dedicate quite some time to it, and find common grounds to talk and share things about. It's also harder without some task or activity that can be done together other than chatting/writing. Not to mention having the right mindset for it! I wouldn't find it surprising if it were extremely difficult to be successful at making other people become friends as an objective and focus and not a "side effect" (online videogames, communities, et cetera)

I've come to recognize my view that "anyone could install this web server" is a view most commonly shared among fellow techies, and not one shared by the greater population.
What are the reasons for deployments to be more complex by default between machines?

Incredibly large and complex programs are deployed on user devices all the time and most of the time all is needed a "Next Next Next" or copy to a folder.

Yeah, sure you may need a specific runtime to be installed but that can be achieved through a deployment script too. Remember installing DirectX when installing a new game?

Sure, there are cases where specific app may need specific version of it and another app may need a completely incompatible version however this is more of an edge case.

Containers are definitely very powerful in some cases but I find it very distasteful to make EVERYTING into a container. It's not like apps are deployed on a server with custom version of Linux made by North Korea and the other one on a Nintendo. Most of the time, it's the exact same environment everywhere or it is a few command away from being exactly the same.
> I'll have to take care of backups, security, availability, updates, etc. I prefer to use a managed solution.

A hosting cooperative is often a good compromise. You get to mutualize services and maintenance with other people who have the same needs.

On a spectrum from selfhosting to cloud computing, hosting cooperatives lie in the middle when users have agency but don't have to take care of everything by themselves.
It is an inconvenience, i would imagine. I would prefer credit card fraud does not happen to me (it never has).
I believe SCOTUS hasn’t ruled that age is a “suspect classification” under the 14th amendment.

The federal ADEA (the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) only creates a right of action for people over 40.

It’s a weird one for sure. I wonder, if age were a suspect classification like sex, if the ADEA itself would be unconstitutional.
> I'm not an apple developer at all, but my dev experience with both Java and Go has been pretty frictionless.

Same. Java, Go, and web dev is my every day. Not an exactly fair comparison, but my first M1 MBA replaced a 2017 MBP, and it cut my java test suit times in half. 16GB wasn't quite enough RAM for all I do so now I'm a 64gb MBP M1.

I've thought about building a Ryzen desktop and just running linux, but I don't want to split between two machines and need to be mobile.
>github is not a social website

you may not like it, but Github has always been a social website, and now more than ever, just like LinkedIn.
Is it though? IE had a larger market share and came preinstalled on most people’s computers. It was also closed source so you couldn’t even take Trident and write your own browser around it (best you could do was embed Trident as a COM object).
I think the issue is not with it being social in general, but rather with it becoming a similar flavour of social to the likes of Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Github has always been a social tool without the need for a newsfeed-type thing.

What exactly does "optimizing for Github recommendations" mean?

I'm not writing and debugging 10,000 lines of C just to farm Github stars. It seems crazy to think anyone would change how they work for that.

Whereas, people on Youtube/Twitter/Facebook/etc. really do change their videos or writing to spread better.
On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, if it's truly his child, why would his wife be opposed to verifying that? Not to mention that it can likely be done without her knowledge.
If you want to participate in parenting, you'll want to be somewhat fit. You can expect a lot of lifting, carrying, squatting and sitting on floor, stroller pushing, running after etc. Better chance you won't get exhausted by that at your thirties than fifties.

Why doesn't my brain turn off?
Why does my brain refuse to turn off? What purpose is my brain if cannot preform such a basic function as turning off. How is it that my consciousness never seems be repressed. The moment consciousness is programmed to go out from the chemical hormones and biological systems, my consciousness is there to interrupt this. I give up on believing that my conscious thoughts and actions have any effect on whatever unconscious errors that unpredictably malfunction because of what? Genetics, stress, idk. How can I reset this brain and let it do one of its most basic functions that for some reason decides to not work regardless of any activity, hormone, sleep quality, circadian rhythm. I give up and am reporting an issue with my brain or the DNA replication that failed when i was born or something.
Probably analogous to mathematics professors who have to teach courses to students to sustain their salaries and research.
What if prepping is an over correction against our increasing detachment from nature and the fundamental skills of living? In this case, preppers would be better off hiking, hunting, fishing, gardening, and learning homestead skills for the psychologically grounding effects, not some imagined protection from an unlikely and uncontrollable disintegration of society.
