how would that require hundreds of engineers though? Would one not build a script and then just run it for each customer or each dept build a script? I honestly have no idea, never been in that sort of recovery situation before.
On prem outages and data loss happens constantly. Much more than cloud hosted issues. They just affect a smaller group each time. It's like how people view the countless car crash deaths as non issue but freak out over a rare train crash.
That sounds about right. Pricing varies by state and plan, but at 5-6 people you get to $2-3K / month.
Changing the value system of the American public is a ridiculous pie in the sky solution that is not going to happen in any reasonable timeframe.

Those things change in small steps one generation at a time. Our best bet right now is to find carbon solutions that are compatible with the current set of values.
If we study something that seems obvious and it's confirmed and replicated, now we actually know what everyone "knew." If common knowledge turns out to be wrong, we strike a false belief and add a true(er) one—even better.
I had exactly the opposite experience. Homebrew chewed up my computer a couple times back when it installed everything alongside OS files. The only sane way to get rid of it was to reinstall the OS.

While the points are all insightful wrt to changing tech and culture,
it's a force design being suggested in 2020 aimed at 2030 lamenting

Most annoying for me is there is no simple way to simply search for files matching a name in a folder.

Attempting to search using Finder insists on bringing up a giant system wide search that indexes content of files, emails, every stupid thing that contains anything like the phrase I looked for.

So imagine I am sharing my screen and I try to just find a simple file and it's spewing the contents of my private emails in front of everyone. So aggravating.
There’s nothing special about those variables besides them being builtins. Those messages are actually just the __repr__ for each.
The keyboard that you are most familiar with, that you are most comfortable with, that 'gets out of your way', is "The Best Keyboard for You".

I had to start using mac for my current job as of last year and have no idea. once you learn about cmd-` and the weirdness with minimizing, and installed rectangle, i became as productive as I am on windows

finder to drive navigation to native desktop apps + a first class unix terminal nails my productivity needs. I ended up buying an m1 pro pretty soon after getting accustomed
> Banks and other industries have “know your customer” rules so that they can’t do business with anonymous clients laundering money from criminal enterprises. Large social-media platforms should be required to do the same. That does not mean users would have to post under their real names; they could still use a pseudonym. It just means that before a platform spreads your words to millions of people, it has an obligation to verify (perhaps through a third party or nonprofit) that you are a real human being, in a particular country, and are old enough to be using the platform. This one change would wipe out most of the hundreds of millions of bots and fake accounts that currently pollute the major platforms. It would also likely reduce the frequency of death threats, rape threats, racist nastiness, and trolling more generally. Research shows that antisocial behavior becomes more common online when people feel that their identity is unknown and untraceable.

Yet anonymity/pseudonymity is incredibly valuable- it is easier to change your mind and be open to new ideas, you can be more honest and direct, and less fearful of bad actors. The author of this post clearly thinks the entire net to be composed of nothing but Facebook/Twitter/Instagram and the like, but the definition of "social media" can be extended to any 1 or more machines which can send and receive IP datagrams between each other. The internet was doing just fine when people owned more of their communications, running servers or at least using infrastructure run by fellow human beings, rather than consuming content from a handful of global feeds susceptible to these social Sybil attacks.

Just outlaw or intensely regulate these massive, centralized/proprietary social media algorithms so that we can return to what was before, all while retaining the gift of anonymity.
If you made it illegal, people would start creating risk pools in ways that are technically legal. Such as membership clinics, special-purpose clubs, etc.
Yeah, people should think of this like "what if Google engineers started at $45k salaries instead of $120k+?" They could work for years to get up to that same $300k+ level but they're starting much lower and expected to just take it (and the ultra high mountain view/SF cost of living).
> back when it installed everything alongside OS files.

Whoa—I don't recall it ever doing that. Some time before ~2012?
I don't immediately take offense to hearing about things that don't apply to me, and maybe hearing about things that my classmates or their parents or whomever is going through might help me get a better understanding of them and their lives.

The use of the word "force" here is especially interesting. I doubt you'd use the same word for a subject like Math or English, despite it being the same degree of "force".
Having done "zero-g" in aircraft many times, you do feel it. Your blood shifts. Your spine decompresses. Your head gets lighter. You very much know that you are falling.
Season 1 is best honestly - been following it since they released originally on Netflix - hoping they do more - the set design and atmosphere is amazing
I've literally never heard one complain.
I think what's missed in the discussion is the role of parents. Not everything has to be the teacher's responsibility. That is in the article, they say it's about parental choice. So parents can address the questions, and decide how to raise their kids. Why should it automatically be the role of the state to give a state sanctioned answer?
HDMI to displayport is already an active adapter which is complex and expensive. Stacking two active adapters together would be unreasonably expensive and I'd expect some noticeable latency.
Additionally, when the menubar is a global system widget, UI designers in pursuit of minimalism can’t take it away. They’ll be there whether the designer likes it or not, acting as a searchable index of the app’s functionality.
I actually appreciate the simplicity. Being stuck on Windows for the past couple months I say the best analogy for its window management would be “square training wheels”. Or rectangular, as square ones would have a single cadence.
Not much physical harm and very little liability. I think computers and software was the one place people could make what they wanted and sell it without much worry of getting sued out of existence and that is why there was so much advancement. Software licenses are pretty amazing with the "as is" clause that seems to hold up.
Meta comment: I find it pretty amusing that the usual "No to the government! There should be no more regulations because it leads to more government power, corruption, and tyranny!" crowd is conspicuously absent this time.

...but not really surprised.
Maybe this is heresy but I use the Magic Trackpad with my Mac Mini because the gestures are indespensable and the Magic Mouse kinda sucks.
Yeah I admit it's a horrible justification, but it's so culturally ingrained there's not a lot that can be done
This works, but it's (1) completely undiscoverable (how did you find out about this?), and (2) does not work for switching to a minimized window if the app has another unminimized window.
There's a lot of people in comments defending macOS saying that the difference in switching between operating systems will lead to a bad experience no matter what and people just need to power through and learn the new system.

I'll say that I've used Windows and macOS both personally and professionally for two decades now (longer for Windows). I'd consider myself a power user in both OSes, I know the keyboard shortcuts, I know the OS settings somewhat in depth, and I've used a lot of the common tools to extend each OS.

My experience is that Windows has far better UX for pretty most end users.

I have 4 monitors connected to my Windows computer. I just plugged them in and it worked. I've burned hours fighting with external monitors on macOS. Is it even possible to have 4 external monitors? Actually you can extend this to all sorts of peripherals.

Windows explorer feels way more productive than finder. It still bothers me that I can't cut and paste folders by default.

I revert to the command line way more on macOS than I do on Windows. That's a skill that your average user isn't going to have.

I found my old Oregon Trail 3 CD two months ago and decided to play it. I had to navigate a few context menus but this 1997 game booted right up on Windows, how many hoops do you think I'd have to jump through to run a Mac OS 8 application on my MacBook Pro?

And there's a bunch of other examples I could give. There's a lot of reasons people like Apple products and if the interface works for you, great! But I don't think it's fair to dismiss critiques as ignorance of lack of ability.
0 data leaving the system unencrypted would be my formulation
> This thread is the prototypical example of what Haidt is talking about. I have no interest in taking part in this comments section other than to make this observation.

One could make the exact same claim about your snarky comment right here. If you actually had no interest in taking part in the discussion, you wouldn't have taken part, but here you are. One of us.
If you're thinking this would be a win for the D's then you're not thinking about the PR win it would give to the R's. Especially with Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine.
I'm trying to understand the right place to use workspaces.

For example, one of my repos contains a bunch of command line tools (under /cmd/toolA, /cmd/toolB subfolders) that make use of shared libraries. Right now, that's one module. But I suppose these could also be separate modules that are joined by a shared workspace.

They go into this a little bit under the "Work with multiple interdependent modules in the same repository" section. But what they tout as the benefit in that section isn't really a problem in my current workflow. What would be useful is to let my tools depend on different versions of libraries; I think this might be enabled by workspaces? (whereas right now they share a go.mod)
The state doesn't need to have a sanctioned answer, but this is the opposite: a blanket gag on the educator regardless of context.

The state should not gag educators or anyone else.
> slavery was considered unethical, even if only by some, back then

The notion of slavery being unethical had been many centuries old at that time.
Exactly. When the Electron-apps-are--awful-compared-to-desktop-apps conversation comes up, I'm always frustrsted to not see this perspective, because it really reframes the real potential value of Electron implementations away from (from this perspective, unfair) critical comparison to implementing internet services and applications as true desktop apps.
No. Terminal velocity is one-g, the same as sitting in a chair. A skydiver at terminal velocity feels exactly as much force/acceleration from the wind as they would feel force from lying down on the ground.
> externalize their environmental costs

It's that + Every step of the aviation industry is subsidized by state actors. oil companies are also incentivised to support as airlines are a massive consumer of karosene that would otherwise be a cheap byproduct of oil refining
They're not absent. They're literally in this comment thread preaching the opposite now.
I have a few workflow solutions to this, but Control Down-Arrow or three finger swipe down is the most common.

Also, windows are in a stack from least to most recently put in front, so if I know something is toward the back I start with command-~.

I also happen to believe that there is such a thing as having too many browser windows open, so when these strategies start to become unmanageable, I will close some. The Expose for browser windows takes up to twelve before it needs to make the icons really small, that's a reasonable limit for me, especially given both tabs and tab groups (which I'm increasingly making good use of).

To be clear, this is a workflow, not a workaround: unlike focus follows mouse being impossible, I'm content and productive handling the browser this way.
Not sure. It made the system binary folders user writable. It stopped doing that when Apple forced them by adding some extra security measures around /usr/bin.
>> This is a deranged and nonsensical response. We all knew what boys and girls where until yesterday. Leave the kids alone.

> Something like 200 or less years ago boys were called girls until they went through puberty (or close to puberty) - speaking of puritanical England that is. Not sure about the rest of the world/continents.

The way you state that invites an anachronistic misunderstanding: it appears back then "girl" was a gender-neutral term for child:

https://www.historyextra.com/period/great-misconception/

> Nor have boys always even been called boys. Until the late 15th century the word ‘girl’ simply means a child of either sex. Boys, where they had to be differentiated, were referred to as ‘knave girls’ and girls in the female sense were called ‘gay girls’. Equally a boy could be a ‘knave child’ and a girl a ‘maiden child’.
Every train station and every airport is a geographical monopoly. There needs to be government regulation that prevents them from forcing people through a huge shopping mall maze.
I fucked up once and lost 2 hours of customer data. I was so lucky we were a small startup and had daily backups AND the backup was only 2 hours old. I would have been royally fucked. Never making that mistake again.

Always use a copy of prod on a staging server and run your queries there for testing.
Exactly. This is after a minimum of a decade of training a shit paying jobs, on average it's probably closer to 15 to 20 years I would guess. And they're paid for time in the air. And have to be away from home. And have inconsistent schedules and frequently work in the middle of the night.
There is no such thing as a free market. A free market is a spherical cow in a vacuum. Corporations are generally far more informed of the nature of labor markets than labor itself a don't risk an equivalent of getting a life-threatening condition while having no health care. Corporations also collude, whether directly or indirectly, in many fronts.
TBH, you've definitely got me there. Isn't it nice I could criticize them and have my opinion refuted without hostility?
Not sure if involved. But Medication can wipe a person out. I’ve been on a few (not cancer) that left me in bed barely able to speak for weeks on end. Skip a couple doses and I’m about and fine.
I work for a pretty huge well-known fortune 500 company with a global presence and personally handle the tape rotations for several of our data centers, and they're all still on LTO-6 tapes
The difference is on one hand you have people sharing videos that make police look like they're suffocating people and hitting them with cars for the fun of it, and on the other you see that they're often in a situation where they've already tried a tactful approach, where they themselves are being met with or have been met with violence, and where the expediency of the moment required a difficult decision that may or may not have been correct.

I've seen videos of protesters surrounding police vehicles trying to destroy them and harm the officer inside. That's a situation where running people over to get away would absolutely be acceptable.

Tear gas is a great way to safely control crowds without firing gunshots. I've been subjected to it myself and while it's not pleasant, no lasting damage results from it.

Stop trying to act like context doesn't matter, it always does and here even more so.
If a third of all rail is electrified then two thirds are not. Most of North America's railways are not electrified. Be cautious when looking at statistics on electrification: many results specifically only show electrification of passenger railways.
agree, assuming you're talking about language version ES1 circa 1995.
These responses are also tedious, in that a negative opinion can't be valid and the user just didn't 'do it properly.' The author went to the effort of providing the rationale for his opinion at least.

Per your second point. Why is that not a Windows problem? Because a lot of other people don't experience it? Just because a whole heap of people can work with Windows might mean they just got used to it, rather than it was good in the first place, which goes back to your first sentence.

No OS is 'good' for everyone, as no OS is 'bad' for everyone.
The one thing I'll say I like about the weird minimize behaviour is that I do a lot of screen sharing and it's pretty nice that once I minimize a window that it's pretty hard for it to suddenly pop back into view. On Windows I have to pretty much just religiously quit applications before I share screen but on OSX it's usually sufficient just to minimize them.
Yes, I've seen something like that many times, on its own.

Besides that, I don't understand your first paragraph, what you're trying to say, why you mention the phrase on its own. I had a similar feeling reading your initial comment - no idea why you would say that. I'm missing something, not sure what. "Since a lot of people don't read the article, we don't need the rule against saying 'Did you read the article?'" makes no sense to me as a piece of reasoning. The conclusion of the argument seems to have nothing to do with the premise(s). Whether 0%, 50% or 100% of people read the article would make no difference to the value of that rule, seems to me.
it's not, because you're looking at major carriers, which no one with the minimum 1500 hours will get a job at.
Most of the building code is written with the blood of victims who died in a horrific accident.

If you want to know why doors in public places have to open toward the outside in modern countries and why "panic bars" are often mandatory, the answer is large piles of dead children (literally). Depending on who you ask and the country they live in, they will refer to a different disaster, but the common element in all of them is 70 - 600 people stuck in hallways unable to escape due to bad exit designs (eg. people piling up against doors that open towards the inside).
I only block things on my site that specifically help Putin. Which is no things.
I did not know you could do this, and have been following command-tab with control-down for years now. Thanks!
I’m always amused when people bring up package managers as a complaint about macOS. I like them, and use them of course, apt on linux machines, homebrew on Macs. It’s great, super useful for what I do.

However I feel like pointing out that no one who uses a computer for mundane tasks like surfing, writing email, watching videos, posting pictures, etc. cares remotely what a package manager is, or how well it works.

Package managers feel like they live exclusively in the realm of developers and Linux aficionados. And I see people complain about it as though they just bought a house to discover it doesn’t have toilets.
I also came here to ask more or less this question. I have an old HP fixed frequency monitor (https://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=208) that I want to connect to a Raspberry Pi, and its not clear how to achieve this.
I minimize windows on purpose if I want to completely ignore their existence but not close the window. For example, Terminal windows that are running background processes that I don't need to attend to, VMWare windows for headless VMs that I only SSH into, and the like. It's nice because they don't show up when I open the app, and basically cannot unminimize without explicit action.

Most of the time, though, I don't bother minimizing windows on macOS, whereas I minimize windows often on Windows. Although they're similar actions, they wind up serving different functions, and trying to treat minimized windows on macOS like minimized windows on Windows is just a recipe for frustration.
Man, that blows. I find the current model (and only one I can remember? Maybe I did use it when it worked that way, and just didn't realize it) of keeping all user packages totally separate from the core system and just linking them in better and safer than what e.g. most Linux package managers do—now that I'm used to my package manager not really being able to mess up my base system, I wish all the rest worked that way, too :-/
What you are talking about is taxpayer funded healthcare, with the large collective entity being the government.

Seeing as how that is not politically possibly, middlemen with sub 5% profit margins was the compromise. Obviously not the best situation, but still better than before.
And since the article is using podman as an example: podman does have a manpage. The actual standard way of getting documentation on utilities, man podman, works just fine.
Why use a backend heavy broadcast mechanism when you can just use webrtc data channels and communicate directly among users?
I'd say the first 10 years of the 21st century were a hell of a lot stupider. We blew a budget surplus on tax cuts for the wealthy. We started two wars that lasted the better part of 20 years, one of which was waged against a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. Oh, and we didn't win either of them.

We completely ignored the rise of China and any threat it posed, assuming all the while they'd become good capitalists and fall in love with Democracy.

Bankers tanked our economy so we bailed out them (bipartisan no less!), but not the average Americans they screwed. We turned our intelligence agencies against our own people.

Heck, compared to the first 10 years of the 21st century, the previous 10 years have been a relative period of enlightenment. In fact most of the problems over the last 10 years stem from the stupendously dumb decisions we made from 2000 to 2009.
Who said there's a right answer forever? The whole point of what I said is to make sure you use your own power as a citizen to pass laws and elect those people you think will serve your interests best at the current time, and as soon as that's not the case, try to get rid of them. That's the point of democracy and a representative democracy, the power to keep interests aligned with the people.

Often that means putting in some safe lower bounds. Laws, as you noted. You put safeguards at the bottom preventing the worst behavior. That's the whole reason there are laws preventing child labor, because people decided that some things should not be tolerated.

Nothing prevents a company from still being a good employer and helping where they can, but that should not be required for our society to function. The goals of a company diverge from what is best for the people (both short term and long term) too often for that to be a good idea.
I'll take it one step further. The arrangement of rods and cones in the eye are optimized precisely around the task of capturing the salient details of a projected image. The distribution has an exponential form radiating from the center precisely because the brain is working in log polar coordinates (or similar). CCD arrays are stuck with the naive 2d grid arrangement.
