I may be an outlier, but for me, the problem with non-mac machines is that they seem just careless.

Steve jobs famously said "The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste.", and this seems true to me for almost all hardware manufacturers, and to a larger degree still for software.

Why does nobody care about creaking plastic? About sticky-feeling texture? About uneven weight distribution? About the sound that materials make when handling them? About flickering in software? About inconsistent spacing? About janky color combinations?

There has been amazing workmanship for thousands of years. The Minoan culture made golden jewellery out of sub-milimeter spheres. Why should we now tolerate the insult that consumer computers are?
Maybe because nobody ever bothered to try convince him that Yuma, Arizona, is not rainy.

haha that is very satisfying. Also yea some things I decided to cut out of the tutorial because I didn't want it to be too long. I will add help screen which allows you to see all the rules anytime you want
I think Framework and System76 are largely replacing the best options from the traditional PC manufacturers for Linux users (and maybe many Windows users as well?)
Bluetooth has been in development for over 20 years now, I'd assume they have solved all the problems by now. Meanwhile the consumer WIFI is faster than ethernet copper.
I personally find cave paintings to be compelling evidence for a behaviourally modern mind. They demonstrate great skill. The artists did not live in cities or have agriculture or writing, but I have little doubt that they perceived the world as we do, and were capable of essentially the same speech and thought patterns as we are. It’s an awe-inspiring tragedy and mystery that those lives were lived in a manner so unknown to us, and yet potentially so relatable to us.

They absolutely would have had conversations around campfires. Talking about what, I wonder?
Another bad thing about it is that there is no good way to debug it (afaik).
But don't you already have countermeasures to deter DoS attacks or malicious human users (what if someone pays or convinces people to open your site and press F5 repeatedly)?

If not, you should, and the badly-behaved scrapers are actually a good wake-up call.

I also used to always run ThinkPads (and Precision workstations with pointing sticks). I these days run a System76 Lemur Pro with a USB thinkpad keyboard I stick on top. The built-in keyboard is good, but trackpads and I have never gotten along. They've come a long way. Another option that friend got was the Frame Work. I helped him assemble it, and it also is a great GNU/Linux machine. Everything just works.
Our star is a pretty rare type, what if they want it whole D:.
It must be such a rush to know that your instruments which were tested only locally in various simulated environments work perfectly in the environment in real life.

I had this sort of feeling when working on a model rocket with a complicated flight computer. I did months of simulations, testing, planning , rereading the code and getting it ready. Once I pressed the launch button, all that work culminated into it working or not working and trusting that those days and nights of testing were enough.
I can recommend the HP ZBook (or any other mobile workstations), it's built to last. It's not cheap but still cheaper than a spec'd out MacBook.

More importantly, almost all of the growth, in both relative and absolute terms, occurred after the onset of deletionism.
Any chance you could summarize their statements?
Although they have secrecy, it's nothing compared with the years 1999-2008. After Jobs, the company practically couldn't hold any secret. We know in advance how the next iPhone will be, all the components, even things like mac OS or other hardware is easily known in advance. To me, the beginning of the end it was with the iPhone 4 era, that's when the company started to get careless with her movements and way of operating
That sounds wildly micro-managey. I often don't know how long something is going to take until I dig into it; sometimes I don't know how long something is going to take until I'm almost done. The ambiguity/fuzziness of points is a feature, not a bug.

If I'm going to be "held to account" based on my estimates, I will optimize for producing work that matches my (naive, uninformed, up-front) estimate, rather than producing the _right_ work. This will last for a few months, at which point I will realize I'm burned out, working inefficiently, and writing bad code, and I'll find a new job on a different team that doesn't treat its employees like train conductors.
I use story points and estimation for my own personal projects. They are private numbers that only I can hold myself accountable for, so there's no reason to be dishonest. And they help me plan and gauge my trajectory and what I need to prioritize.

> how can you be both honest / sincere and a "mixed bag"?

Because people can be both honest and dishonest about different things or at different times. No one is perfectly honest and even the worst person is probably honest some of the time.

> ...considering his status as the world's richest man makes me think he should be held to a much higher standard

This makes sense in some ways and absolutely none at all in other ways. The richest man should be judged harshly for displaying greed, for example, but not for making mistakes that money doesn't help prevent.
Perhaps the tax system in the US is far more complicated in than it is in foreign countries. I am trained in UK tax law, but not in US law, although I do file taxes in the US. The UK system is far more straightforward than in the States. On account of this, the US tax system may not lend itself well to automatic pre-filing.
> Manhattan wouldn't be close to what it is today without central park.

It certainly wouldn't and I wouldn't argue the contrary.

But from the perspective of analyzing LTV and its implications, how would that be written into the tax code formula?

Surely it'd be possible to take some of the Central Park area and convert to highrises without meaningfully diminishing the benefits of having a Central Park. But how much area would be ok to build to maximize economic value? 1%? 5%? 50%? 80%?

Because at the end of the day, a tax law needs rules and formulas to compute the tax, so how do those get defined in a way that preserves open space but pushes for highrise development everywhere else (if that's the goal)?
I appreciate it! The tutorial was one of the most labor intensive parts. It's hard to explain things

Would it change anything if Elon already (indirectly) controlled more than 15% as a poison-pill-anticipation measure, but just said he controls less?
I predict this changing in 5 years or less, as demand increases and the profit potential attracts new money. Hope I’m wrong about that, because as you say there’s so much untapped potential value for a bunch of disparate, but critically important fields.
I'm about halfway through, and can second the recommendation. I think I see a potential twist, but I want to see how it actually plays out in the end.
> so you could presumably navigate to the relevant page for the share/comment/like functionality. I realize that's not ideal but it seems well within reason to me.

Oh yeah, I could. I guess I'm just believing more and more in the power of a familiar interface. I feel somewhat comfortable hopping around different sites and creating all sorts of accounts (on my computer, less so on my phone), yet I imagine many really don't want that hassle. If the comment box were the same everywhere, that could help, but still, I find sometimes if it takes that extra effort, I often won't do it.

I may check it out for some of my sites, thank you.
> Also DDC can’t even be applied to newer languages like Rust with only one compiler.

This is mistaken, as there exists a second Rust "compiler" known as mrustc (written in C++). I put "compiler" in quotes, as it doesn't implement all of Rust's static analysis, so it's more like an alternative code generator. That said, it still suffices to build the compiler itself (it was originally devised as a rustc bootstrapping tool), and it has been used in the past to successfully perform DDC.
Federal is free. State is an upcharge, but they don't force it.
> I though SpaceX catches its entire rocket (all stages) now with rafts/boats, doesn't it?

SpaceX doesn't catch anything at the moment.

The first stage lands itself either at the launch site or on the autonomous barge at sea.

The fairings for the second stage get pulled out of the ocean by ship after they splash down. They used to try to catch these and that's what you're thinking of but they weren't that successful at it. I believe they redesigned the fairings to be okay spending a short amount of time in salt water and they seem to be having a pretty good success rate for this.

The second stage of the Falcon burns up in the atmosphere. Their Starship project is attempting to fix this.

The advantage of this approach for Rocket Lab is that they'll be able to re-use the first stage. At the moment SpaceX is the only one doing that and it's why they have such a commanding position in the market. I haven't seen an explanation for why (I'm sure it's out there, I just haven't seen it) but my guess is that the Electron is a much smaller rocket than the Falcon and they can't spare the lift capacity to propulsively land the vehicle.
By "good faith" I mean that I was genuinely and sincerely curious about whether cancel culture etc was more or less common in Germany than in anglophone countries such as UK, USA and Canada. What do you mean by "good faith"?
Too bad kaspersky has been banned/cancelled in my country (USA). Any alternatives? I don’t necessarily use antivirus, thought it was unnecessary with Windows 11 built in Security. But now my mind is changing… anyways There should be a open source tool for Windows that only allows only 1 trusted keyboard/mouse to input and monitors for anything sketchy in USB firmware. Seems easy enough to create.

All Asian Fabs pretty much ban all smart phones - you have to leave them outside and/or you have to use a "dumb" phone. Laptops, USB drives, etc. are absolute verboten as a vendor or contractor and usually employees as well who have to smuggle them in to get work done. If you violate these bans as a contractor or vendor, YOUR ENTIRE COMPANY can be banned from doing business indefinitely.
I'm not a lawyer, but having been a hiring manager in tech for 20+ years, "materiality" (whether what you are omitting is material) is in the eye of the beholder (side note: great video game) aka the hiring manager and enforceability of contracts is up to lawyers. Neither of those people are you, in this case. So. I commend you for the fierce independence and protection of your career, but I stand by my statement that parent comment is still awful advice.

It's a strange situation where, in order to code on an M1 iPad, you might end up phoning into a box either you own or in the cloud, and that box is likely much slower than the M1 is on a single-thread.

I think Microsoft's Surface lineup has been making good strides on that front, but they still have a long way to go.
Personally for unambiguous notation I'm more in favor for what programming languages do. Use an operator symbol like * for multiply. Spaces can get lost when hand-writing it...
I've used both of those laptops with Linux and had zero issues. We use Dell at work and it came with Linux installed though I did a clean install afterwards with no issues. If you are talking about just general reliability of the hardware rather than compatibility, I've personally suffered more issues from mackbooks in the past than Dell but that's just my personal experience. Maybe you just had a bad run of luck on that side?

Also, I have been wanting to try https://system76.com/ for quite a while but I can't get my work to approve one.
That's weird, I've never used the IRS link and it always left me on the Free path. I'm not low enough income or with simple enough returns to qualify for the free filing that TurboTax used to offer either.

Most of the things I'm interested in are signal processing oriented. Things where it's very easy to structure the solution to the problem as dataflow/boxes and arrows. Essentially, "things that lend themselves well to MATLAB" ;-)

(to be more concrete, because I personally hate vague answers when I want specifics) I've done a lot of array processing sound stuff, microphone array processing and calibration, as well as computational music stuff with this framework. Also built a mostly vision-based pipeline this way, calculating how "awake" a mouse is from a video feed for medical applications.

> I can imagine inner-loop type math stuff but would be leery of larger chunks of code.

100%. I'd never structure an application this way, but it's pretty great if you structure your larger code to be modular enough and then have certain processing elements done via codegen from MATLAB. What I love is getting bit-for-bit accuracy with the math from MATLAB. Of course, you then do things to get more performance by sacrificing accuracy, but it's great to start off from a place of knowing with certainty that the math is right.
> Judicial oversight and judicial elections are needed.

If you think judicial elections will produce less authoritarian judges, you probably fail to realize that most of the people who care deeply about electing judges are a tough-on-crime light-on-civics bloc.
Espionage is a very real and major risk in competitive businesses such as leading edge semiconductor or companies like Apple.
For those too young to remember (or who may have just missed the news when it happened, since it wasn't mentioned yet in this thread), in 2010 the iPhone 4 was leaked before the release, physically, an employee left it in the bathroom of a bar. Someone found it, tried to return it to Apple, they didn't take it seriously and so this person turned to Gizmodo to make a quick buck: https://www.fastcompany.com/1621516/iphone-4-leak-saga-start...

They haven't had a leak that big ever since, but occasionally things have gotten leaked (specs, components being used, etc) from China who does most of the manufacturing.
I had a similar issues with my previous client Dell or HP, really a disaster...And everyone was hit by that bug, we are talking thousand of employees.
If System76 can get their own laptop chassis designed and fabricated I think a lot of people will be all over that.
We had one van-dweller (who was otherwise homeless) that tried to live at our space. We tried to let it work for a while and added rules to deal with issues he created but he'd find a new way to antagonize other members every couple of days. Finally crossed some line and he took us up on an offer to refund his membership dues and go away. Bonus: he was working on a perpetual motion machine the whole time.

What's your question?
The most famous bad launch might be the "you're holding it wrong" antennagate. Which has a clear line to the secrecy.
Something very similar (capturing space capsules) was done regularly from the 1960s to the 1980s, so it's not like there isn't precedent for this.

If most of your traffic is bots, is the site even worth running?

This really is akin to the question, “Should others be allowed to take my photo or try to talk to me in public?”

Of course the answer should be yes, the internet is the digital equivalent of a public space. If you make it accessible, anyone should be able to consume.

There is open source software that one can use for the main flows and forms:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/opentaxsolver/

It seems to work and will produce PDF of the forms with data filled in for one. I appreciated it. It will also handle some of the states. It took a while, but I did find how to check out via subversion:

svn checkout 'https://svn.code.sf.net/p/opentaxsolver/SrcCodeRepo'

I use subversion so rarely, I always seem to have to figure out that the package name is "subversion" and not "svn" to install on my OS. Then I need to find a tutorial to know how to check it out. Then I just needed to build open tax resolver (no binaries are available for my OS). I have gotten way too used to git and github. :)
I haven't used an alarm for over 10 years at this point. I realized that I was almost always waking up about 5-10 minutes before the alarm went off. Some experimentation showed that by thinking of a time before I went to bed, I could wake myself up around that time, even it was 2 or 3am.

Now, I only set alarms for early times, and only as a back-up. Unless I'm very sleep deprived, they're not needed.

To answer OP, over the past year, I've been on a quest to wake up earlier, and the answer has been a dull one. I've very slowly started going to sleep earlier. I started with an average "asleep" time of 1-2am, and am now at about 11pm. That's shifted my normal wake time from 7:30am to 6:30am. Those good at math will note that's actually more sleep, which has been great, too.
I often find that developers with an interest in product development and the business side can make huge contribution by suggesting alternative solutions to writing more code.

With some gentle pushback on requirements they can help clarify what the real issue is. Of course, this has to be done carefully or it will quickly get very annoying.

Another useful skill is to have a feeling for when problems get too hard and it's time to backtrack. At least in my work, most of it is basic CRUD of different varieties. If I find myself inventing new things or not finding any answers Googling my problem, it's likely that I'm on the wrong track and there is a simpler path I missed.
I really like the fact that your standard project is a MUD. Awesome!

To me, these details are less desirable, but the operating system and the way in which I utilize the computer to work and get shit done matters more. The niceness of the design (and don't get me wrong, they are super nice and beautiful) seems like superficial details to me. It isn't jewelry to me, it is a tool that I use to work.
