Unfortunately, there exist two different distributed protocols named scuttlebutt. The one referenced here is a gossip algorithm, the one you mention is a social network protocol.

They appeal to different enough spheres and scuttlebutt is such a good name I can't fault whoever moved second on that one.
I don't think Apple would ever bring full MacOS to the iPad. I could imagine them allowing M1 native Mac Apps to run on the iPad tho.

Since the iPad and the Mac use essentially the same CPU now, why not allow Apps to be cross platform between the two? I know you can run some iPad Apps on the Mac, but why not the other way?

If you could run Mac apps on the iPad, would that hurt mac sales? Possibly. Although, I could imagine many non-mac users would buy an iPad if it could run VS Code.
Remember when Kindle had free data forever everywhere in world, for like extra $20?

In most places you can get smartwatch esim for like $5? And of course there’s places where this buys unlimited data.

Kinda think gov should just pay for cellular data in exchange of your location data for traffic planning and security purposes. Like why OnStar shouldn’t just be part of 911?
The 'joke' is that instead of naming the letter as in 'ECKS'-args, I'm sounding the letter as in 'KS'-args.

Same as 'ls'. Is it 'ELL'-'ESS' which would conform to the naming 'ECKS' above, or is it 'L-uh-S' which would conform to the sounding 'KS' above?
Ah! No wonder all the elevators are on the outside of the building! The inside is reserved so the Queen can walk up 7000 stairs.

My personal favorite aspect is that the best view from the observation deck is looking straight down through the glass floor, and the look of sheer terror from people afraid to walk on it (while the kids jump up and down on the glass).
I've been reading the (perennially-recommended) Mythical Man Month with a friend, and this is something that gets touched on again and again. It's funny that for all the hilariously out-of-date components of those essay (development measured in compiler instructions written!), the inefficiency between a good architect and the number mean-regressed engineers beneath them is still a problem we struggle with half a century later.
Fair, but still annoying. The simple solution, that always works, is to write separate streams to separate files. At least journald supports JSON, and not some proprietary format, though I imagine the particular fields it supports might not be supported by other logging systems.

I'm just tired of all this added complexity, when I don't really see much of the benefit.

I detest the dehumanization of airlines; it is all very bureaucratic now, compared to when I was a child.

I flew two cats from oceania to Europe, and the process was jarring; some regulation at the time prevented them even flying together. I remember their panicked howls when I saw them again at the airport, something that hadn't happened with any other mode of transport.
Java worse than Go in many regards, and many successful business seem to continue using it. Probably the marginal cost of one unhappy Scala magician leaving a company is far lower than the cost of writing all software in Scala, to keep Scala type magicians happy.

I'm happy and excited to see this happen, I have used Inform 6 in Plan 9 for interactive fiction development for years now, and with Inform 7 becoming open, I'm hoping the core compilation pipeline can be ported, reading source code for games like Counterfeit Monkey by Emily Short is quite amazing.
Get e.g. a SC1452-GHA 7.8'' Kaleido (btw with frontlight and touchscreen) and hook it to a laptop through the development kit, or get a device mounting it and connect to it through VNC or better. Maybe the dev-kit is better than a remote desktop session, maybe not: further info about it would be needed.

I have worked on 8'' (not a Kaleido) and it's very doable if you accept the real estate compromise.

You can have it already and spend maybe around 200u, plus your time to set it up.

Having been "backstage" at Disney to dive in the aquarium in Epcot, I can tell you it's not just the streets, it's everything, even things most people will never see. It's a part of the Disney culture. Railings are repainted, flowerbeds are maintained, and many other things, every night so that they always appear neat and clean. There are very few maintenance issues that are visible or perceivable to guests.

There is no way that the counties will be able to maintain the same level of service to Disney if they take over all the services. They don't have the money, the will, or the culture to do so, nor should they (probably).

It isn't really a matter of cost, so much as the inconvenience of replacing all the peripherals I've accumulated over time (ignoring the fact that there isn't even a USB-C version of my favorite keyboard).

Yes adapters are possible, however an even better solution (in that it doesn't require remembering to bring an adapter everywhere) is just to buy a different brand of laptop.

You may of course disagree with that but I think that if you intend to do business in a country that you should abide by the laws of that country, even if there is no direct way to enforce them. Sooner or later you may find that nation states have pretty long reach.

"Fake money" is money that isn't freely usable as cash.

For the Russians, the Euro is fake money because the Europeans won't let the Russians use it. However, there is no impediment to anybody using Rubles, so the Ruble can be considered non-fake money.

In the greater scheme of things, if a contract transaction can't be made in one currency, the world requires that we use another. A contract is an exchange of one thing for another. There is no such thing as a legal contract in which one party gains and the other party does not.

(Try buying a car from a dealer then not handing over the cash to that dealer. You could say "I've paid you the money, I'm just holding it for you at my bank." See how far you get with buying that car.)

Tenants in the USA do not pay it directly but do so effectively by proxy, because they pay rent to the landlord and the landlord pays property taxes to local government.

Property taxes in the USA go towards local government services like garbage collection and street maintenance, just like council rates. So I believe property tax and council rates are still analogous.
I wrote two replies to this that I both deleted. Then I had a good long thunk, and here's what I came up with.

The temperature of an object can be determined through 1/T = dS / dE. What is this S? How can it exist if you know the system perfectly? And here is where the great insight comes. The thermometer! You apply a thermometer to a system you perturb it! The system may have started in one particular microstate, but the very nature of thermal contact involves random influence. Those random tiny influences from the thermometer allow the object (harddrive in our case) to enter a bunch of microstates with certain probabilities. And that's what S measures.

So our subjective knowledge does actually not matter. (Classically speaking) the system is in a particular microstate we may know it or not, and it still manages to have a temperature. That is due to the states it could hypothetically enter (but haven't yet)!

If we think back to the harddrive and it's contents: Very gently touching a harddrive with a thermometer while not scramble its contents. So we may say that microstates corresponding to different files than the ones you put there are actually not accessible. And they don't contribute to the entropy we used for the temperature.
Yeah, because most people spend 0 hours a day working on their passion, instead exchanging hard time doing an activity they hate for too little money.

Working 2 hours a day for a fat paycheck sounds like a better way to enable yourself to spend time on your passions than deluding yourself into the belief that the capitalist entity extracting multiples of your TC as value for itself is enabling you to "follow your passion" while you work
That's totally imaginary. As if Putin, through Gazprom, could decide the price paid by the EU for its fossil fuels.

Putin doesn't have to sell and the EU doesn't have to buy.

Cheaper price for Serbia and Hungary? Well, those countries will be economically sanctioned. The EU can bankrupt both countries at will.

Not that the EU wants to. But there is no love for Serbia in the rest of Europe. Ugly nationalists with blood on their hands. We used to like Djokovic. Even that isn't the case anymore. And Hungary just received notifications of the blocking of all EU money for their recent very undemocratic elections.

If Putin thinks the EU will implode because of this blackmail, he lives in a imaginary world. The EU is like NATO: it arises to unity when challenged.

Putin has made NATO stronger than ever. Now he's about to do succeed in doing the same for the EU. Well, Hungary will have to choose a side soon. Frankly, I'd be sad for the Hungarian people if they are expelled from the EU. But I like the idea of expelling undemocratic countries out of the EU.

So Putin cut the pipelines. Well, that would trigger a recession in the EU. But no soldier from the EU is killed, because the Ukrainians are doing the fighting. So the public opinions won't withdraw their support to the Ukrainian cause.

On the contrary, in my opinion, but that point is debatable.

But a recession in the EU just when the USA's growth is decreasing sharply.... that would lead to recession in China too. I can't see the Chinese leader risking that this very year, because he needs to appear strong to be confirmed in a lifelong mandate in power.

And Putin would take a huge risk by cutting the pipelines, e.g. the flow of euros when its war in Ukraine is not getting momentum, even after the change in strategy. Russian troops are doing better, for sure, but their territorial gains are super slow.

We'll see.

PS: my admiration to the Ukrainian people for its courage and fortitude. May the Russian people find the same courage and get rid of Putin.

> When people say "with reference counting there are no pauses", they are not talking about the bookkeeping cost of releasing the allocations when their last reference is dropped;

I'm not sure that you can claim that confidently. I have certainly seen many people laboring under the false assumption that ref counting systems always have bounded, small latency when that isn't the case. The latency may be much lower than various other tracing GC alternatives, but I think many people have a simplistic mental model that a ref count decrement only ever leads to a single object being freed.

There is an ah-ha moment when you point out that freeing an object decrements its outgoing references, which can in turn cause a cascade of frees.

> they are talking about unrelated code (which might for instance be running a tight numerical loop with no allocation or deallocation at all) being arbitrarily stopped.

Many GCs will never arbitrarily stop the program in a tight loop that isn't doing allocations, so there's nothing particularly unique about ref counting here.

> Also, it's misleading to call the amount of deallocation "unbounded". The amount of deallocation is precisely the size of the graph of objects being released at that point; no more, no less.

Sure, and a program can build object graphs of arbitrary size. That's what "unbounded" means: there is no pre-defined bound on it.
You're right, and the WhatsApp outage reported there is completely unrelated. It's been ongoing for a couple of weeks? I guess their SREs forgot to disable it.
Inertia. I'll have to try out Neon.
That's a solution I guess. It could result in an annoying edge case if you wanted to for example bring your laptop somewhere else, and borrow a peripheral there. (I'm sure someone will be along to correct me, with the information that using a laptop as a portable device is some niche use-case that Apple shouldn't care about).

How hard is spinning up an "entity", though?

More like the judge ought to award damages in terms of the time and means required for setting up that fundraiser and all other extra-legal expenses on top of the lawyers whose pro bono work could have been better spent.

I’ve been on the site since 2012 and it’s all I can see. There is a subreddit from around the same time I joined called HailCorporate documenting a lot of the obvious instances but I’ve noticed lately that most people have been trained to mimic the ads just by being on the site for a short time

Lately the most obvious example of what I mean is on the TV subreddit: shows aren’t just shows any more — they are almost always referred to as X on Y where Y is the network or streaming service the show is currently on. Sometimes it results in hilarity as in the case of a show called “You” with the show’s sub called YouOnLifetime - a network it is no longer available on.

A less cynical person would say that people are just trying to help people find the show they’re speaking of, but it ends up being a constant string of Corporate keywords in upvoted posts and wow, just happens to be great for SEO.
This sounds remarkably like my job as a high school teacher. Depending on what else it entails, I bet I would enjoy a similar role. Thanks for the thoughts.
The claims basically say the system is a device with wireless input and wireless output (think a computer with WiFi in/out connections). The device receives a bunch of photos from the wireless input, filters the photo based on some criteria, and sends the filtered resulting photos to another mobile devices via the wireless output.

Shotwell's feature kind of fits the description is that it downloads photos from a WiFi connection, organizes the photos by theme/date/etc (filtering), and shares the photos to FB/Twitter/etc (sending via WiFi). Basically any network connected photo editing/organizing software is in dangerous.

The patent obviously lacks innovation and slipped through the approval process. The court agreed and invalidated the patent.
I would argue that the typical reader at hacker news is not the target audience for iPad. Think young children and grandparents. My elderly mother loves her ipads. She has three of them. She can watch youtube on them, check email, chat apps, play music, control her TV. My preschool nieces and nephews love the iPad similarly for youtube and games. iPads are the easiest to use computers for people who are, for one reason or another, functionally computer-illiterate.

I'll never get used to lectures where first the most minor person says how fantastic people are that follow, then the mid level person adds their two cents about how cool the following people are, followed by the most senior person singing the praises of the lecturer followed by the lecturer who is required to say how he or she doesn't deserve any of that praise but would be happy still if you bought their book.

The longest this took before the lecture started was 29 minutes, although most of the time it's about 5.

Why put warnings on cigarettes / alcohol at all then? Why isn't that "too much coddling"? Human race will survive even if we go back to using leaded gasoline and asbestos (after all, it survived a period when that was common), so if that's the only goal you have, I think we're already there and the warnings are not reducing our chances.

> (...) people should be entrusted to make reasonable decisions without the need for scare tactics.

And how do you make sure that they do? What's reasonable for you is not the same as what's reasonable for me. What you think may be common knowledge may not be as common for others (TIL about persimmons).

Searching on Geekbench for Apple M1 ultra single core scores returns values mostly in the 1770-1780 range. E.g. https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14597244

Most 12900K score are between 1900 and 2200 but then there is this outlier with single core score of 1252: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14572307

Intel certainly wins on single core, but the m1 Ultra multicore scores are still impressive in comparison being generally 23-24000, while the 12900k are around 15-20000.
