Education was very intentional. When I say I vote against all taxes, this is the only one I have a choice and *always* will vote against.

Government schools are completely untrustworthy. There are many good teachers at them, but they’re just indoctrination centers, for progressive communist bull crap. Hey our local middle school is having the local drag club show up! The kids can’t read, but at least the boys now know it is ok to wear a dress and makeup. And I don’t give a crap if a boy wears a dress.

If there were complete choice as to how to spend that money, and we could fire the shit teachers, pretty much if the local public school was simply funded by the local neighborhood, I’d be ok with that.

The leftist dogma is so ingrained into our culture, even the right wingers, accept so many of their presuppositions. College education, is crap here. And people don’t actually learn how to think, but what to think.

A liberal arts education was a thing once pursued for the sake of education, and now at our universities, it is just another way to make sure you believe the right narrative.

Like we literally have words like “birthing person”, and “chest feeding”instead of “mom” and “breast feeding”, and everyone is so blind they can’t see how stupid that is. Yes a trans man can have a baby and breast feed it, and somehow that means we should stop using common sense. Clown world.
FSD, Starlink never being jammed in Ukraine, Tesla Solar Roofs, and other such things are all things Musk has hyped up that are somewhat counter factual.

Why does it matter where he came from?
This. I think docker could be the 'go to' standard for ruby/rails devs for the next decade. Will save so many system-level setup/config problems, and hence a lot of time.

I wonder if there are any good arguments against docker for ruby/rails. Would be interested to hear them if there are.

I haven't used docker for ruby/rails yet, but intend to very soon, and really look forward to it.
A curious movie trend with a 30 year interval also: 3D. 50’s, 80’s, 10’s. Though maybe the emergence of VR would render 3D movies obsolete by 2040..
Congratulations on finding a method and making it work, that’s all that matters.
It’s not restricting one’s freedom to not fund phlogiston research. And in the age of the internet, what’s peer review? Stapling thoughts up in the town square was never easier than now.
It was of course the norm to an extreme (even more so than Apple today) with minicomputer, mainframe, and high performance computing companies through about the 1980s. We're just seeing a mild reversal of the horizontal integration that companies like Intel and Microsoft brought about.
Academic "freedoms" granted by tenure at one institution do not extend to a second institution or to any other third party such as an academic journal. In the similar way, US "Freedom of Speech" is about an individual and the government and does not extend to protecting speech between third parties.

Tenured professors are not owed a voice on a third party publication to say anything they like. Just as individuals are not owed a voice on social media to say anything they like.

What professors are owed (any within narrow limits) is the ability to voice some opinions without fear that the institution will dismiss them. In the same way people in the US are free to say and voice opinions (within very wide limits) without fear that the government will jail them.
> I personally value my and others' freedom to not be murdered over the freedom to murder people.

I personally think that the rule should be "don't impose on others".

The murder example you used is an imposition on another person. Telling someone that they can't impose on someone else is not an imposition, it is preventing an imposition.

There can be problems if we allow the majority to impose whatever they want on the minority. It seems that many people seem are ok with that, as long as they are in the majority.
Yeah no. Depends on how you use it. I see the beach ball on my M1 every time I try to compile rust or haskell. This M1 fanboyism is tiring
I'm not sure how people have these structural issues with their Macbooks. Not saying you did anything wrong, but my experience with the screens is that they are relatively robust.

The only time I had a serious problem with Macs was back in the 2000's when they were shipping with cheap ass Hitachi hard drives that were extremely failure prone. I had an early iBook (yes the weird one with the translucent color) and one day the drive had an unrecoverable head collision and that was the end of that thing. Years later all my college friends had Macs and, no joke, half of them ended up with the same thing.

I got an M1 Macbook Air last year and I still feel like I'm living in the future. It's small, light, noiseless, and snappy to boot. The battery life is crazy good as well. I can take it on a plane and not even need to think about whether the plane has an outlet. As a web developer also doing SCAD for 3D printing, it's been a joy. It handles a bajillion browser tabs quite well. Maybe something else will fail after 7 years, but at least that will be 7 good years. lol

There's a lot to criticize about Apple as a company, but recently they've really been knocking it out of the park with their laptops in my opinion.

As an aside, if anyone reading this has an M1 or a Mac of any kind, at your own risk, look into disabling ReportCrash and see what happens. This improved performance even further for me, and it's easy to undo.
Interestingly that devices on M1, per geekbench scores, all have basically identical performance. So in the end, M1 Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro differ only in the number of ports and the availability of a built-in display.
> Surely this will filter out ~50% of people who are good but don’t have any public code?

Not OP, but I follow a similar process when I have to do coding interviews. I work around the "no public code" problem easily: "great, then pick an open source library you use regularly and let's go through and look at some of the things you do with it, what you like about the API design, and some things you stumble over or wish were better".

I've had candidates go through everything from jQuery to D3 to Spring to just parts of the Java SDK.

Also, in my experience, the percentage of people who have _zero_ public code is small. Maybe 10%. Certainly not half.
> uses significantly less memory, and represents a modest performance improvement.

The reduced memory has significant value. Being able to do the same build on less expensive hardware or do more with the same hardware is a significant financial performance improvement

Is there any option for getting this kind of integration for general purpose Windows or Linux systems? It still seems pretty far off. Even getting an ARM system at all is still fairly exotic or you are using niche hardware like the Raspberry Pi.
I sincerely recommended Pixelmator Pro to anyone for image editing on Mac. if you are coming from Photoshop, some parts of interface will make you puzzled, but if you free you're mind, got will enjoy it greatly.
Hmm, do you think eBPF will have less overhead than dtrace?
The internet gives everyone a loud, personally branded, indestructible PA system and a wide choice of busy street corners to play whatever messages they want, on loop, 24/7. If someone decides to use that power in a way they already know is going piss off many passers by, well, pissed off mobs are going to do what they do. Mob mentality isn’t going anywhere unless humans go extinct. Speak your mind but read the room, the room is the entire world.
Can I ask how you got into such a role? Is it at a major bank or some kind of consultancy?
I agree with you, this cannot be regarded as a healthy approach to hiring and comes off as delusional.
We do it all the time with our phones with Apple Pay/Google Pay.
Even better: read the code, understand it and then change it.
Congratulations with the milestone!

Does using Zig over C++ lead to "less memory, and represents a modest performance"? Or was the C++ implementation a bit sloppy? (lacking data oriented design for instance)

Also, what specifically are you most excited using Zig for?

Land cannot actually be personal property. Why should it be? You didn't make it. Is it fair that whoever got there first gets to use this limited resource in perpetuity? Even under feudalism you got to keep your land under certain conditions like sharing some of your crop in taxes and contributing to the common defense. Unless you're strong enough to be a sovereign state, land ownership has always been more like a license than something you actually own.
When frogs get boiled they probably ship less. Just saying.
"SGX is hard because it's trying to preserve the open nature of the platform"

Except that was an afterthought. Originally only whitelisted developers were allowed to use SGX at all, back when DRM was the only use-case they had in mind.
Might be a hint if you really have not touched them at all in years. In other cases this might also stem from CI tools like GH actions.
I wish the react-native team would invest in first-party Rust support for their new TurboModules architecture. It seems like a perfect combination.

Flutter is nice is theory, but they have a long way to go to catch up with the native toolkits.
Are you on an enterprise plan or a personal one? I know personal plans have limited logs, but I'd hope the enterprise ones would show clones (in reality, they both probably should). Kind of defeats the purpose of an audit log if it doesn't.

I am not clear if you are suggesting my friend is on the autism spectrum or not.

But let me say: I would be surprised if he is. You probably have a mental image of how he speaks, and how he relates with people and it is probably wrong.

He is a very charming person, as well as incredibly good at reading people. In his native language (Japanese) he can charm the pants off of anyone. I liken it to anecdotes of how Bill Clinton can win over even bitter political opponents once they meet in person. I have never seen anything like it. He is still pretty charming in his other languages.

He can talk with a total stranger for just a few minutes and come away with something incredibly insightful about their character that I had never understood even knowing those people myself for years. His PhD is in Business Psychology.

But despite all this he is also kind of an obsessive loner driven by interests. As I say, he is one of the most interesting people I know.
Sounds like transparent aluminum.
"Force quit", the one when you alt-right-click the dock icon, doesn't ask the app about anything. For an app that froze, you may need to do it twice. The second time it always kills the app immediately in my experience.
Well, and in number of cores, battery life, acoustics, Watts, and some more....
Yup. Pixelmator pro is my go-to image editor. Right after Preview.
For what it's worth, elsewhere in this comment section someone posted that Github Support says the zip downloads weren't related to this incident. Reading between the lines, the compromised repos were probably accessed using normal git clone actions.

That’s one of the main reasons they’re so impressive, they _are_ able to do this, to a limited extent.
The term “cancel culture” suggests that there is some sort of epidemic of social mob justice that is consuming society—at least that’s the impression I get from most people who are railing against it. That is not an objective fact. IMO, that’s not real.

Hey but our tax dollars help pay for all the anti cigarette campaigns!

And then some capitalist came up with vaping, so people wouldn’t reek, and did more for preventing cancer in smokers than the government ever had.

No government budgets must justify themselves, and all money must be spent to justify getting more.

Money is power. Billionaires are powerful, not just because they have so much wealth in their name, but they generally control even more wealth via board positions. Well a US senator, controls even more wealth, now that our government is so large. Bernie Sanders hates billionaires because they still maintain a lot of power, and he hates competition.
Not quite the desires, but the access and availability of confirmation of those desires, through technology from MySpace to Facebook, and now TikTok and Instagram, almost certainly plays a role.

I believe narcissism and hedonistic desire is likely relatively constant across generations. What differs is the technology each generation is raised in and has access to. I believe (opinion, I'd like to see studies about it actually) that the easy access to the narcissism reinforcing tech Gen-Z grew up with has made the expression of these desires more pronounced, and not at all in a positive way.

Personally, I've seen it in action (of course, this is anecdata, now, so not necessarily generalizable). I know a 20-something guy and am involved in his and his friends' lives to a certain extent. These young adults haven't had adversity much different from anything I faced growing up in the 80s with a deeply impoverished family living in the south, or that my wife faced when she was growing up in the same era, but they are far less resilient (in almost every aspect) and tend to treat every little setback as a major trauma. I'd say the outliers of my generation (in terms of emotional instability and lack of resilience) have become the norm in Gen-Z, and I hypothesize it is due largely to the prevalence of modern social media and how it facilitates and encourages this extreme-drama view.
> They capitalized on Intel/AMD sleeping on RISC architecture and going to smaller nanometers.

Apple is singlehandedly using up almost all of TSMC's 5nm processes. There are no smaller processes available anywhere in the world, and Samsung's is disappointing. Processes that have largely been driven by demand from AMD and Apple (EPYCs and Ryzens from AMD, and Apple's mobile chips). They capitalized on nothing except having fat wads of cash to slap people around with.

Additionally, it's not "being a RISC architecture" that makes the M1 a beast. Slap a 5950X on a SoC with directly available memory and GPU, and you get similar (better, even, considering current gen CPUs do get better performance already) results. "Deep integration of an entire stack makes things more performant" is not a new thing, it's merely that Intel and AMD have been upholding the contract of x86/64 that is interoperability and replaceability (well, Intel has been doing some socket fuckery for upgrades, but upgrades are still entirely possible), and Apple can afford to throw it away.

Oh you can definitely get the beach ball, but I pretty much only get it from things I would expect to get it from. If you're doing things that aren't graphically expensive, then yeah, the M1 means next to no weird hangups in my experience. I'd be surprised if you never got the beach ball.
GP's links include a filter for "past month".
It seems like this argument proves too much, because it rules out defense in depth. Why have multiple layers of defense when one perfect layer does the job?

I think the answer is that you're never really sure that your defense is perfect, and that's true of both SGX and byzantine algorithms.

> I also wish we could rewrite everything in a modern language, but the reality is that we can’t and that if we could, it would take a LONG time. The ability to start new projects, or extend existing ones, with a modern and more ergonomic language—Zig—and be able to seamlessly work with C is incredible.

This is self-righteous nonsense.

DNNs end up encoding parts equivalent to type theories in their operations — extracting an “internal language” (in the TT/CAT) sense which models the data. In particular, convolutions are a form of extracting/deducing types from your input. A full DNN deduces a model of the data in which it can type the incoming data and then reason about relations on those types to decide the challenge.

What is it that you think you’re doing, besides forming a model from data in which you reason based on an internal language, which describes the data you’ve seen?

Your post comes across as ignorant of eg, the overlap between TT and DNNs, while simultaneously full of woo about how humans operate.
Apple hardware isn't "Rolls Royce". It is not low-cost, but in many segments competetively priced. At worst you can call them BMW. Yes, they keep out of the low price market and for some parts (memory, ssd extensions), they ask for a hefty price. But they are pretty competitive to the upper range of the market. On the other side, the M1 MB Air is actually a cheap laptop considering its performance.

And on the big scale, we should be happy that finally the x86 monoculture is coming to an end. I can still remember the times when there were several competing cpu architectures which made for a lot of innovation.
(Kagi dev here)

Being a paid service means Kagi's incentives are different. Instead of selling your data or profiting from feeding into ad-tech food chain, we are interested in selling you a subscription.

We do not associate queries with an account, as a matter of fact we do not save queries at all. You are right that this can not be verified, the question you need to ask yourself is what kind of incentive we have for misusing user data in any way.

Unless users want us to do start using their search history to improve quality of searches (something we may introduce as an option in the future as we've been asked to), we have no reason to do so.
>Well. I think x86 is dead and Intel just doesn't know it yet.

its sovereign ally… logical

What is that, “logically”? Who is sovereign, who is ally, who’s imminently attacked? By invading, that denies Ukraine sovereignty. If you mean Russian sovereignty, it’s not the boss of Ukraine, can’t require it be allied.

Unless, of course, Ukraine isn’t really its own thing. And that’s what Putin’s essay sets up.

> Putin's rant how Ukraine shouldn't be a country

I didn't comment on that because I've never heard that. I'd have to read his comments to comment myself.

It’s a clever piece, and to purport to be unaware undermines every comment you’ve made.

Selectively quoting, the piece argues not that Ukraine is not a country, but that it’s not its own country, has no history standalone, is really more of a greater Russia border land, and makes no cultural or economic sense apart.

- Source: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_Historical_Unity_of_Ru...

- The Russian state incorporated the city of Kiev and the lands on the left bank of the Dnieper River, including Poltava region, Chernigov region, and Zaporozhye.

- These territories were referred to as “Malorossia” (Little Russia).

- The name “Ukraine” was used more often in the meaning of the Old Russian word “okraina” (periphery), which is found in written sources from the 12th century, referring to various border territories.

- And the word “Ukrainian”, judging by archival documents, originally referred to frontier guards who protected the external borders.

- …the idea of Ukrainian people as a nation separate from the Russians started to form and gain ground among the Polish elite and a part of the Malorussian intelligentsia. Since there was no historical basis – and could not have been any, conclusions were substantiated by all sorts of concoctions…

- Ukraine and Russia have developed as a single economic system over decades and centuries.

- I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia.

So: It’s not sovereign on its own. It’s not a real country.

I’m simply not going to continue to … be told

Insofar as that causes you to reject controlled media, consider whether you could turn off US news, stop reading US sites, and instead study journalism, legal opinion, and historically contextualized views on this matter emerging from nations independent of Russia and U.S. both, ideally also outside EU.

The point is only about processing power. Previously, mini/air/pro lines on Intel all had wildly varying performance. Now many of Apple devices share identical processors and do not differ in this regard.
