> But stand-alone programs? Not even things like Photoshop, I'm talking something written by someone and you want to install it? That's not as compatible with the Linux method

There's definitely some room for improvement here, but fwiw you can double-click executables on Linux to run them just like you would on Windows (or to an extent, MacOS). I think the "solution" here is not to rely on portable software, and when you do need to rely on it, use a packaging format like AppImage.

> And homebrew (and anything equivalent for WSL?) works pretty well.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Homebrew is genuinely awful. The vast majority of Mac devops issues I've encountered stem from a Homebrew issue, as a matter of fact. Oh no! Software (x) isn't running on Mike's M1, but it runs just fine on Melissa's x86 machine! The problem? Homebrew installs software to different locations depending on your system architecture. That's right, the same package will end up in different places when the only difference between machines is CPU architecture. That's just one issue, I have gripes about reinstalling, leftover files, formulae syntax, Linux "compatibility", UX and more... the author isn't wrong when they say the experience simply doesn't compare to apt or pacman.

It's also worth mentioning that "Presence" and "Channels" don't put any additional load on your database. You can broadcast messages (like the cursor movements in this demo) without it touching your database.

Which is to say they were AWS's biggest early customer? Doesn't really seem like Netflix should get the credit for that one.

But that artist might be able to afford a thousand dollar MacBook Air with whatever cheap hand me down monitor they have lying around.

(But then the dongles they need to buy to attach to that monitor or keyboard or what have you is the straw that will break their financial bank!)
> There's an argument that EU is the aggressor for the purposes of Article 5

There is no such thing as “an aggressor for purpose of Article 5“; and the only case to be made for an “aggressor” status that would obviate Article 5 commitments is an aggressor under international law (that is, someone engaging in aggressive war in violation of the UN Charter, North Atlantic Treaty, and customary international law.)

Participating in individual or mutual self-defense action outside the scope of NATO doesn't void Article 5 (we know, because it didn't, despite definitely being part of the scenario, in the only actual Article 5 invocation in history.)
even the vast majority of ethical academics are being pushed into a direction that is detrimental to longterm scientific progress, in particular short term outcomes instead of longterm progress

happy to hear that brother, I also note that this might be geographically related, I saw at one point (posting outside west coast 9~5pm) rise to 20 upvotes, and then downvoted (during work hours in west coast).

consequently when I type some comment near the end of the work day, it gets downvoted initially but then drastically attracts upvote outside the said work hour.
I find this to be the most abstract yet primitive computing device. Bands and marks and you hop right into logarithmic relationships.
Their launch rate hasn't been increasing nearly as fast as one would have expected if they are going to make it to profitability. I wonder how much of that is due to SpaceX's rideshare offering, one would think it must have stolen a good bit of business from RL.
> Homebrew is a lifesaver on macOS and is the only thing not making me pull my hair out.

All credit due, Homebrew is amazing given that it doesn't have the same opportunities for deep integration that Linux package managers do. It certainly made MacOS bearable for me. But, it's only good in a walled vacuum. There's almost nothing else on the platform to compare it to. I have been using nix-darwin, but packages routinely break on darwin (not that I blame them for it).

Windows might have never had a package manager, but there are decades of workflows build up around not having one. Downloading an .exe/.msi and installing is sub-optimal, dangerous, and barbaric, but it does work. Linux has pacman, RPM, deb, nix, ostree, flatpak, and more, which (from personal experience) are all amazing. The Mac package workflow has been built up around a second-class citizen: Homebrew. And the fact that Homebrew is a second-class citizen shows. If you've used almost any other package manager as a daily driver you get an idea just how wanting the whole MacOS ecosystem is. There are a few ones worse than your options with Apple (cough Snap cough), but not many.

I wonder how many Apple power users understand just how bad they have it with Apple.
I think yelling is appropriate if someone says they're thinking of building an Electron app. That's the only reason I can think of.

You're not really 'supposed' to maximize or even tile apps on the Mac. In most cases it's a waste of screen space. The Mac has always been focused around the desktop metaphor. Historically applications were composed of multiple windows, and focusing a window in an application brought all of the other windows for that application to the front. You would manually arrange each of the windows/palettes of your application for multitasking, much like you would with physical pieces of paper.
My recommendations for Mac Users:

* Put the Dock left or right, vertical space is precious (trust me, do it for a week and then decide)

* Setup Hot-Corners (Settings -> Mission Control -> Hot Corners)

- Upper-Right Corner as Mission Control (Must be upper right so spaces are immediately shown)

- Lower-Left Corner as Application Windows

- just fling your mouse curser into the corner (use std. gestures on the trackpad)

This makes window management a lot better.

* Maximise Windows by double clicking the Window title bar.

* Disable auto-{correction, capitalize, etc}, smart-quotes under Keyboard settings (if you want)

* Learn about the screenshot shortcuts CMD+shift+{3,4}, 3: full screen, 4: select area or switch to window select with hitting space bar once.

* Learn about CMD+space for launching apps

* Set Key-Repeat to fast and shorten the delay

* Disable spotlight for everything except what you want to use it for.

* Enable File-Vault

* Disable "Wake for Network Access" under Energy

* Enable the ssh server under Sharing "Remote Login" (If you want)

* Disable the visual/audible bell in the Terminal profile.

* Install MacPorts/Homebew

And one thing to internalize is that Apple is a little authoritarian about some UX aspects.

For example the snapping and window thing... Apple has a thing with continuos freedom opposed to the discretisation one is used to. I've come around to that view as well actually, free your mind, nature is not a stepped slider.

(Obligatory:) Neat! Still, a lot of copying bits around, and more JS than one might hope for. Could you send a pointer to canvas into the C code and operate on it in a direct, zero-copy way there?
I do understand that recent Windows has some pretty good basic window size+position control. That is not something that really comes default in Mac OS but there are several widely used third-party tools that do that using different interaction models (Moom, Better Snap Tool, Magnet). I suspect that building that into the OS would hurt the third-party market at this point.
my friend is running an independent studio, i'm a bedroom musician, and we're planning some elementary plugins together. we tried some stuff with max and it wasn't expressive enough, we tried the steinberg sdks but they were too much of a lift, elementary is good enough for our workflows and in that perfect zone with enough control and enough familiarity that we feel we can be productive. we'll see in due time if it's too good to be true, but we're excited!
Just out of curiosity, what does ctrl+mouseclick do in VSCode? I can almost guarantee there's a way to do it in Emacs :) If it has to do with looking up references, there's lsp-mode in emacs which gives it IDE capabilities for many languages.

Interestingly, the database contains two other objects detected with impact speeds of more than 40km/s including one from 2015-07-04 which an even greater speed than this interstellar asteroid. I wonder why these are not also considered to have interstellar origin? Is it because they were accelerated by the sun before colliding with the Earth? The original paper does not mention whether or not they considered the origins of any other objects from the database.

Everyone should say no. That'd change their policy pretty quickly.
Is this a natural property of the internet or is it a consequence of how internet businesses are usually funded? It always struck me as weird that "predatory pricing" of a product at below cost can be considered anti-competitive behaviour when done by market leader, but is OK when done by a "start-up" fuelled by millions in VC money. This is especially apparent in the gig economy space, where local knowledge should give you a competitive advantage but instead you're forced to compete with foreign businesses that are happy to sell $2 worth of service for $1 of revenue.
Call me surprised if most game studios still develop Windows first those days. Console pays better in general, and mobile platforms have a much larger market base, so games get developed for those other platforms first. Whatever "PC release" we get is often now a bunch of half-assed scraps, that barely work "on Windows" in the first place, it's a miracle they work on Wine/Proton (and even a better miracle when Proton manages to undo said brain-damaged port bugs).

You'd make it illegal to pool costs by barring insurance - meaning that healthcare providers would either need to provide service gratis for the majority of the population (which is, really, just another form of insurance so that's out) or they'd need to secure a personal loan with their bank some time between getting hit by a truck and the operating table.

And for pre-existing conditions and long term health disabilities - the individual would need to somehow justify the profitability of their existence to a private underwriter who was willing to bear the cost - in most cases those people "aren't worth the cost of keeping them alive" (assuming you're looking strictly at numbers).

Hence - a lot of people would end up dead.
Ah yes, apple music, the pinnacle of computing and benchmark by which to judge all professional-level personal computers.
> I read the article and I disagree. It does not say it either explicitly or implicitly. The article only urges the reader to think of the benefits to themselves first.. like a company would.

This article is a response to criticisms of a previous article where the author was definitely very mercenary and suggested the only purpose of the exit interview was to “trap” the employee into giving information that their managers could use against them later… somehow.

It seems this article was meant to walk back some of the aggressiveness.
Maybe we went to radically different schools but I certainly had to calculate by hand using the quadratic formula countless times where calculators were not allowed to be used.

Anyway it distracts from the point so it's not relevant.
As an ex-manager recently returned to IC work... This is awful, I'd never treat someone this way. I tried to always be respectful of my employees, to the point of recommending to leaving employees that they not take our counter, that they are leaving for a reason and now that they've made the choice I recommend they explore it, and they can always come by if it was a mistake. With the knowledge and backing of my CIO.

Point being not all management is like this and I hope you've found somewhere that respects you.

I think collectively too many of us are too willing to ignore red flags and it let's people/companies like this succeed.
It ... "works". For most things you may want, it works pretty well, but it's not at advanced as even Gentoo's portage, and once you leave the beaten path it can be all sorts of hell trying to figure out how exactly to compile something yourself.

However, I've experienced the same on Ubuntu and RedHat - if they don't have what you want in a repo already, and you can't find one providing it, trying to roll your own can cause all sorts of fun explosions.

Anything GPL included with MacOS is stuck at the GPL v2 - since many things like bash went to v3 they don't update anymore; one of the reasons MacOS changed to zsh as the default shell.

> If you model it you’ll find interesting results.

No, we won't. The results are entirely predictable. Without medical insurance people die and/or go bankrupt.

The main problem is that most Americans for some reason cannot imagine a system other than the US system, and equate all medical insurance with that.
The for-profit corporation can survive with “mercenaries” coming and going, compared to the risk averse co-dependent people married to their fake corporation family, the largest and most profitable ones have very high actual and expected attrition, tech workers finally normalizing 1-2 year stints and being okay professionally for the next stint.

For the people who don't know they can operate this way, now they have advice on how to.

Society wont be worse off because more employees are looking out for themselves instead of falling for company rhetoric. Just as the article said, if you aspire for something else, support a unionization effort.

There is nothing inherent about having a bad window manager that makes it more power efficient; Apple could implement a better desktop environment and still have low power use.

Living in Spain, I love trains and take them over airplane when it's an option. However, trains are often around twice as expensive as flying for may routes. I know nothing about trains, but intuitively I would expect the opposite, and I really wish it was more affordable, specially high speed rail.
I've seen this exact effect multiple times. It's really rather amazing, that no one expects as much as someone who's paid absolutely nothing for it. Kind of a divide by zero = infinity in the human firmware or something.

Bit late, but is it worth cutting up? Sunk cost I imagine will sting but simplifying might get rid of a lot of the fear.
So health insurance companies only have to convince your HR department to use them through some kind of grift instead of competing for your individual business on things like cost and in-network providers. Because the health insurance industry is focused on metrics like "number of lives we brought in this quarter" from massive deals that abstract your individual agency as one of a thousand+ lives covered under your employers plan. Who cares if you need to speak to a supervisor because your claim was denied, you're not going to get your company to switch plans.

Before someone says "but the healthcare marketplace", it's a joke. The individual plans we have today are ridiculously expensive because: A) the government will pay for folks who can't pay for them, so easy money for the insurance companies and B) the folks who can pay really need it (healthcare is inelastic), they're so few though so there really is no downward price pressure to compete for them.
Hi wenbo - would you mind explaining a bit more on what the user is suppose to experience in this demo. Maybe I'm the only person confused but I just see people chatting in the bottom right bubble.

If your "trust" is because they wrote a book that says "Science" on the cover and that they have "phd" by their name, you are engaged in faith. You are holding a bible.

If you are weighing them against sources, if you are looking for mistakes, if you are evaluating that information against a wider context and you can accept there are absolutely going to be mistakes - now we are in a realm of trust.

As a simple question: How do you know that expert isn't lying to you? How do you know they aren't wrong? Is the fact in question even (currently) determinable?

There are parts of science that the current correct answer to is "We don't know". We have a lot more unknowns than knowns. Science is a process, not a result.

> How would they do that when what they're saying is clearly false?

They don't need to be right to destabilize one's model of reality. I don't believe a "stable model of reality" is necessarily correct in terms of objective truth either. It's only correct enough such that we can make accurate predictions about the future. Take Newton for example. His models of reality were technically wrong at certain scales of reality - but they were correct enough for most applications of physics. Newtonian physics created a model of reality that was thus "stable" for over 200 years until challenged by new discoveries.

Our primitives brain is triggered to behave as if it is a fight over resources though. We are not perfectly rational.

Admittedly, I tend not to use that many keyboard short-cuts. Beyond the basics, I find the effort to learn more of them not worth the effort unless it is an app that I use frequently. File management is not one of those cases.

I'm not sure what you mean "private police" - the Boston night watch, which predated the 1838 professional police force, were given powers by the town government[1]. I can't find any references to how the night watch was funded, but surely the town government was involved.

Edit:

> The duties of the Watch, as appears by the order, were to be performed in turn by the inhabitants; they were not "citizen soldiers," but citizen Watchmen, and having an interest in their work, no doubt did it well.

- A chronological history of the Boston watch and police
by Savage, Edward H.[2]

Savage seems to indicate that the night watch was performed in turn by the inhabitants of the community, by order of the government, and there is no mention they were paid. This doesn't seem like a private service to me.

Looking at the repository, it looks like the output is a bunch of extern "C" functions, though. Does that mean that one must call eg destructors by hand? How are C++ exceptions handled? Is this sound in the presence of non-relocatable types (eg std::string)? If so, how? Also, this only handles the C++ -> Rust direction, right?
