Windows and macOS users have different expectations. On a Mac, I expect my login account to also know my Apple ID and connect seamlessly with my iCloud, Apple TV, Apple Music, Messages, and all other Apple cloud services. I like being able to answer phone calls on the computer when the phone is nearby. When Microsoft tries to make Windows more Mac-like, it faces a couple problems - not everyone wants to be on Skype or Teams - some people use Zoom or Slack. To make things worse, even Microsoft products are not well integrated into the platform. Depending on how I open a SharePoint document, I can either have another Edge window, with an online version of an Office app or the standalone app opening (with different UI conventions on how shared edits work).

The article mentions the backwards compatibility. Honestly, it never occurred to me to run a binary compiled for Windows 95 on Windows 11 (or 10, which is where I am now). It also mentions dual booting, which is something completely alien to me - this is what VMs are for. When I needed to run Windows on either my Mac or my Linux box, I'd just spin up a small VM with enough brains to run what I needed.

And, since we are talking VMs, WSL 2 is a horrible user experienced compared to a real Linux environment - file sharing with the Windows side is clunkier than it was with WSL 1 (as things don't exist on a single filesystem, and that silly CRLF convention is what Windows expects) or even the venerable Cygwin (which saved me many times when I needed to use a Windows machine). With Macs and Linux you have full Unix environments without any border separating you from the rest of the machine.
Wow, glicol looks amazing! One of the few music languages I’ve seen which actually tries to balance low-level synthesis with higher-level sequencing. (The only other one I know of is extempore: https://extemporelang.github.io/)
Apple only has something like 10% of the desktop market yet they seem to be the only company in that space doing anything interesting. Dell, HP, Lenovo, and all the other big desktop computer makers look pathetic in comparison. I say that as someone who has only bought Lenovo computers for the past 15 years.

Is there any chance at all that six months from now Dell or HP will wow us with something that is faster, quieter, and as aesthetically interesting as the Studio? Or will they crank out another version of a black sheet metal case that is loud and hot and inexpensive? There have to be people in those companies that want to do something interesting, right? Or do they assume that anybody with money and taste are already out of the Windows market?

Maybe it is all the fault of Windows. There's a pretty good story about the problems of Windows elsewhere on HN right now. The comments there are so damning it makes me think nobody believes in the platform anymore. You know how there's no M in FAANG? Is Microsoft stuck with people not good enough to work elsewhere? There might be no point in building interesting hardware that is ultimately going to run Windows.
Well, it may be overkill but it’s at least a step up from the flash that many monitors use which is a type with a relatively low number of writes. Even if this thing gets dozens of software updates and the user is tweaking settings constantly, the phone-grade flash isn’t going to wear out any time soon.
The Apple Studio Display is a very Tim Cook sort of product. Cook is the supply chain and logistics wizard who saw Apple into the behemoth era, and the mentality he brings to the company is all over this device.

The 27" panels from the now discontinued iMac in that size meet the A13 Bionic at end of life, and the same front-facing camera they put on everything else. The Studio Display is a bit like a restaurant serving chicken soup a few days after featuring roast chickens.

I'm surprised they didn't ship it with FaceID immediately, but I presume they have to iron out the kinks since it's never been used on the Mac before, and everything is there for them to turn it on in an update.

I can get a lot more display for $1500 (MSI Prestige 5k2k), and I'm left with a hunch that Apple's third modern display is going to be the first one I find at all compelling.

What Apple has done here is provide an obvious purchase for someone who would have gotten a 'big' iMac or iMac pro: the Mini for the former, the Studio for the latter, and the Studio Monitor. If you want the monitor to have great color range and accuracy, and good speakers, and a better webcam than a laptop which won't look up your nostrils, it strikes me as a reasonable price, I happen to just want my monitor to be a monitor.

Your last line betrays your entire point, that for some reason money flowing one direction is "right" and it flowing less (but still flowing) is wrong.

Perhaps just worry about how you spend your money and stop projecting morality onto other people whose circumstances and needs you know nothing about.

Organizing a society strictly according to any ideology is a bad idea.

"Libertarianism and extreme capitalism" are great for people who are intelligent and driven. There's nothing wrong with the idea of trying to identify people like that and giving them money and leaving them alone. Actually there's something progressive about it: instead of forcing people to climb a corporate/academic hierarchy before they can make decisions, you're letting them do what they like in their intellectual prime.

That doesn't mean we should apply this way of thinking to everyone. Most people are of average intelligence and drive. Some people need assistance.
Here is the flight data: https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/1505863117343014916...

The crash video only shows the last 1-2 seconds but in reality the plane seems to plunge spontaneously, then recover a bit and climb and finally plunge again.

It's not identical(this plane doesn't have MCAS) but it tells a similar story where the plane nosedives, recovers a bit and nosedives again - which is quite similar to the MCAS situations. I would say, the primary difference is that MCAS crashes happened during take off, on this one during a cruise.
It would be much better to (also) put the units int the function name. Don't just have sleep() but sleepSeconds(). This prevents the person writing code from having to look up or guess what units the parameter has, as well as a person reading it later. This is more an API design issue than an API user issue, although both approaches can be used together.
I think the problem though is that whatever those indirects are, they exceed the actual costs, and those direct costs are covering important things. So the indirects are being used as profit at what is supposed to be a nonprofit.

That might be fine except then it leads to massive distortion in incentives, so faculty are being driven to bring in money rather than do research per se.

It's kinda like the classic stereotype of a drug company not putting any RD money into something where they can't control the profit, despite efficacy, only now you're talking about this happening at a nonprofit that's supposed to be committed to research for its own sake.
Yes I agree with you.
Airflow largely does the job in many cases, but when you reach its limits, which is clearly the case quickly, you are really blocked and it can become the hell and a considerable waste of time and efficiency.

For my opinion, Airflow has bad design on files:
Airflow does not understand the files it processes so if exporting data, we have to adapt each source with each destination.

Scalability is not thought out and it's therefore very complicated:
Airflow was designed as a single node and not scalable, so when it extracts data, it cannot easily pass the file to a next task in a distributed environment, which generally requires having to redevelop a task that includes the from > to
Airflow uses a lot of cpu on its own, it takes a huge architecture to manage a lot of flows...

in my case, I work on big projects and I need scalability which prefect offers me and now this new Kestra data orchestrator.

I can’t get the sense of entitlement people have that ‘free speech’ doesn’t just mean the government doesn’t put you in jail for speaking your mind but:

Your design is difficult for people with non-typical color vision. Your indicators for available/taken need to have at least two different differentiators - either a symbol+color, symbol+text, or color+text.

For (even partially) color-blind people, solely using color doesn't have as strong of a meaning. In this case, it's not that I can't tell the colors apart - I can - but I can't immediately infer what the colors mean. The way I interact with colors is that they just don't have as strong of an implicit meaning as it seems they do for "normal" color vision people (probably because my color perception betrayed me too many times for me to develop a trust/dependency over the years).

You can infer the available/not from the pop-out link, but that's disconnected from the status color icon, which makes it less intuitively connected.

The color as distinguishing factor also has a cultural aspect - I think you're using stoplight colors, which are probably fairly safe, but it definitely doesn't hurt to help out people from a wide range of backgrounds / capabilities by adding another factor to distinguish.
GP's snippet was in Rust (not that I know if it's valid Rust code).

However, in C++ std::thread is a class and it does not have a static member function sleep_until. (However, std::this_thread, which is a namespace, does have such a function).

What about those of us who don't like macOS UI?

I don't like the dock, I don't like the way it (usually fails) to maximize windows, I don't like full screen apps anywhere other than a laptop, and I especially don't like Finder and every other attempt at representing hierarchy as anything other than a tree view of folders (not files) and a flat list view of files.

Gnome's prediliction for putting UI controls into the titlebar is dreadful, IMO.

However it seems that the designers of every other desktop OS have macOS envy.
It's absolutely horrible and almost unthinkable, the scandalous and nefarious things the people in power get up to, and they remain above reproach!

The good news: This is a basic feature of civilization, and it's been like this since the dawn of humanity, and it's better now than it's ever been if you use the metric of "how happy, free, and empowered the average individual human is". [0]

At the end of the day, that metric (IMO) is the one to care about.

Yes, governments will continue to be shitty, but they're less shitty than ever before, and you as an individual will probably do better than ever before, statistically.

in the same vein, please name associative structures (hashes, maps, dictionaries, etc) as value-type-by-key-type (for example "username_by_id", rather than "username_lookup" or such. Conventions like these don't have an impact one-by-one, but rather when applied to a body of code as a whole. In this case when one has to do one lookup by the result of another the explicit "x-by-y" naming really helps reassure me the right values are being looked up!
Please do not, unless you are actually implementing unit conversion logic.

Pass around types encoding certain quantities. You do not want a Thread to "sleep for x units", but rather "sleep for this specific Duration", therefore pass around Durations and implement appropriate utilities `.toSeconds(Duration d)`, `.fromTime(Time t1, Time t2)`. The very moment your `.frobnicate(int time_in_seconds)` gets wrapped in `foobar(int duration)` all meaning is lost and you have no control over it.

Type systems are there to encode meaning (sometimes including possible values) behind a value - use it. And if you use highly dynamic prototyping language in production... Well, inability to encode and enforce meaning behind a value is part of the compromise.
>Your answer stresses a lot the word greed which I normally use as an ideological canary

There are two types of greed, zero-sum and win-win. Greed, to the point of becoming detrimental to societies around you, is objectively anti-human and this is the version (zero-sum greed) I'm discussing.

>Yes France is still a very active colonial master with massive intervention in ex-colonies but you can't be serious if you think post-war France is rich and developed because they harvest natural resources.

I mentioned France as an example but similar activity can be seen in Britain, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and other European countries.

Africa is still the largest net creditor to Europe (meaning they fund European economies, sort of a backwards charity). The natural resources extracted continent wide are some of the most valuable in the world. Take a quick look at the mining operations in the background of many African conflicts and you will see the European fingerprint. This is true from the West, Central Africa all the way down to South Africa. Most European gold, platinum, diamond, cobalt, nickle, boxite, manganese, uranium, copper etc wealth is extracted from these countries at extremely low prices or even free due to the financial colonization activity I mentioned earlier through central banks and other means.

Keeping Africa poor and underdeveloped is the only way to create a price ceiling on these valuable resources. This is why the underdevelopment of African countries was a western priority for so many decades. So much so, that the 2nd UN secretary general was assassinated over this specific issue.

>https://www.history.com/news/dag-hammarskjold-death-plane-cr...

This is also why China has suddenly become an enemy in Western media and among the western ruling class. They are violating this economic requirement that provides welfare to Western economies. Their accelerating activity over the last 10-20 years gives Africans direct access to international markets and routes around predatory European nations...this allows actual free market price discovery to occur (aka the core of capitalism).

I understand why many western commoners would want to deny this problematic history but the ruling and international banking class is very aware of these facts. They know where their bread is buttered.
>Nazism is a spiritual disease and one i would be happy seeing continually wiped off the face of the earth.

Not sure if this is a joke, but the idea that removing people from earth due to their belief of who should be removed from earth seems a bit of a moral pickle, or at least a self perpetuating people-removal-machine.
So he doesnt have a Putnam?
After some digging around on Wikipedia's page and in my copy of Homage to Catalonia, it appears that:

* Once he'd decided to go to Spain to fight, he approached the British Communist Party, who suggested he join the International Brigades, but he was unwilling to do that without seeing the situation in Spain for himself first.

* He had friends in the Independent Labour Party, who gave him a letter of introduction for the ILP's man in Barcelona. Once there, he joined the POUM militia, because the POUM were affiliated with the ILP.

* While on leave in Barcelona, he decided to leave the POUM, which was stationed on the comparatively quiet Aragon front, for the chance of fighting on the Madrid front. He would have preferred to join the Anarchists, but was unlikely to be sent to Madrid with them, so applied to join the Communist International Column instead. However, the May Days intervened, sparking the breakdown in relations between the Republican government and Communists on one hand, and the Anarchists, POUM, and other left-wing groups not aligned with Moscow on the other: so he returned to the Aragon front with the POUM until being shot and invalided out, and then fleeing Spain altogether just ahead of a Stalinist purge.

So it would appear that the political differences between the various groups on the Republican side weren't, at least at first, that important to Orwell: making common cause against the Fascists was the priority.
Offtopic:

I recently tried to setup a Bluetooth speaker my mom had bought (with me at her side). I had carefully looked at the packaging and there were no red flags visible.

At her flat I tried to connect it to her laptop. It just wasn't visible.

I looked at the user manual. For initial setup you had to install the vendors app (and accept it to transmit any filename you listen to, any streaming account, any song/audiobook/radio station you are listening to.

There was now way of getting it to just connect via Bluetooth without allowing full data harvesting.

It instantly went back into its packaging, back to the shop.

In hindsight I should probably have filed a GDPR complaint as this goes against the GDPR as the data tracking is not necessary for the functionality (Bluetooth connection). And was not available as information before I bought it.

You’ll be fine if your pick MIT. $180k at 5% interest is $9k a year. It’s less than a mortgage. It’ll be a fraction of rent in most places you’d consider working at later. You’ll want to pay it off as slowly as possible as long as the inflation rate is higher.

That is his point, it was an useless analogy, that is why he said it in that way and why he tried to find another way of explaining it.

He doesn't have to spell out that those conditions makes the analogy irrelevant, it is an obvious conclusion, anyone who read to that part would realize his analogy was worthless so he doesn't have to spell it out, in a math proof what he did would be the same as spelling it out. But to you it looks like he wasn't himself aware the analogy was irrelevant, because he didn't' say it straight out. But he crafted the text in precisely such a manner that you and basically anyone else reading this text would realize the analogy was worthless without him stating so, that is a part of mathematical thinking: how to communicate things precisely.

Of course regular people like redundancy and repetition, which is why I repeat my self a lot when I write on forums like this, it looks like this mathematician hasn't fully realized that he can't state things just once when writing things for non-mathematicians to read.
It seems that your whole proposition is based upon the notion that the hordes were unstoppable, and only retreated out of self interest. This contradicts the fact that mongols were defeated in East and Central Europe, and retreated right after. It also dismisses the historical trading routes in the Mediterranean sea, and direct access to Northern Africa and the Atlantic ocean.

Still, European powers were at a constant war of conquests with Islamic kingdoms from Northern Africa and Middle East.

Bottom line, your idea contradicts centuries of war in Europe.
