1- Yes, most of us on the pro-labor side consider any effort to dissuade people from joining a union "union busting" generally. They're trying to "bust" the union by stopping people from joining. This isn't misrepresentative semantics, this is saying they oppose the union by their actions. The literal definition of union busting is "the activity of reducing or destroying the power of a trade union or trade unions". So yes, literally anything other than immediately embracing a union by management is, by definition, "union busting".

2- The first paragraph of the article says that not only did Apple not immediately embrace the unionization of their labor force, but according to the filing, violated US Labor law. I can accept this weird pro-management twisting of the definition of "union busting" to exclude legal opposition, but I do not understand how anyone in good faith can say that illegal union opposition techniques don't fit a personal definition of "union busting". You can argue that the investigation may determine otherwise, but the title does say "alleges" to hedge that.
Congrats!

Looking at the DIY Guide [0] it looks like a lot of the laptop comes pre-assembled still (case, motherboard, screen, keyboard).

Is it more cost effective to do the labor on Framework's side to ship everything more tightly together in 1 box or could we see a 'DIY Pro' option that ships every component in its own box? (Maybe even at greater discount?)

Also, check out this Mechanical Watch [1] tutorial that made it to the front page of HN last week. I could definitely see an exploded assembly view like this being really instructional for Framework DIY-ers.

Once rust stabilizes, I think it needs an ISO standard like C and C++ have. I can't see automobile manufactures using rust without one. One reason C and C++ are still widely used is due to this. When we are writing code that is expected to run for decades, having a corporate/community backed language is not sufficient. We need global standards and versions that we can rely on decades latter.
Does the laptop support proper S3 sleep, or is this impossible with modern Intel CPUs?
more like 7 row thinkpad keyboard for starters
Less of a question, more a note:

In the configure page to pre-order for the 12th-Gen variant, there's a link to the 12th-Gen variant.
Feels a bit weird and confusing to be pointed towards the shiny new variant, while shopping for the shiny new variant.
I agree, and my ideas for alternative syntax were effectively this. They were, in my opinion, a slight improvement, but still result in lots of syntax. My point is that while I might want a more "python-like" or "ML-like" syntax we often forget that it simply isn't possible in the same way those languages use it, and by the time we add all the extra things we need, it doesn't look that much less "noisy".
Not unbelievable at all. I've pointed this out before, and I'll probably have cause to do so again, but Y Combinator has twice funded companies whose entire business model is smuggling:

The article specified that all masks tested other than KN95 masks produced more microplastics than they filtered out (it didn't mention if they tested surgical masks).

This is not a bad result, since if you want to filter out viruses to protect the wearer (vs minimize general transmission), the N95/KN95 masks are the only ones worth wearing.

Quality matters, all items in a category are not the same.
How are the thermals on these chips? 11th gen and prior was bad enough with basically all laptops having significant throttling issues. Is that fixed now on the 12th gen? I bought an XPS 13 last year and even with extensive modding and disabling turbo boost it still throttles the iGPU.
I don't like the disrupting the flow of traffic idea. Accidents happen in places where the flow is disrupted. E.g. junctions, give ways, reasons to stop.

It's like making a knife blunt to make it safer, in reality it makes it way more dangerous
missed that option. thanks!
Seems to be that the realtek driver issues are mostly for Mac users, which will not be really an issue for Framework users.
Right, a "vendor" is someone who sells something.

Microsoft is a the world's largest spyware vendor because Google gives their spyware away for free.
> They certainly offer the option.

No, they do not.
Eh, not necessarily. Eg musical notation has a lot of tradition and is a bit weird. But I don't see much oppression or rent-seeking there.

The video is funny-ish but it doesn't do justice to how cool Iceland is. I really enjoyed my time there. Would highly recommend. Felt like you could aim your camera in a random direction outdoors and it would take a beautiful photo.
My framework laptop had no issues with the hinge whatsoever. It honestly might have been a little too stiff for my tastes, but it functioned perfectly, and the screen never budged without me moving it intentionally. (Past tense is because I recently sold it as I was using my M1 MBA way more often, mainly due to how long the framework laptop took to come out of sleep mode by comparison. This isn't really a slight against Framework... Apple just did an unreasonably good job with M1 in some areas.)

I would not say the hinge issues have been a "common" complaint. They've been the most common complaint that I've seen on Reddit, but still rare, especially once you factor in that people usually only go online to complain, and anyone with the hinge issue isn't going to hesitate, since it would be understandably annoying.
Anyone think it's healthy to get anxiety attacks from being forced to get on a Zoom meeting where I have to share three personal photos with everyone?
Making money is the practical reality and the entire foundation of the modern world. Do you really think trading chickens or loafs of bread is more practical than exchanging money for goods and services?

How ridiculously naïve! You should be ashamed that you have the utter privilege to hold such utterly ridiculous thoughts without the fear of starving or not having shelter.
I think we have completely different brains. What you said hits me like someone telling me to "be happy" when I'm depressed. It's not a matter of rationalization.

I am jealous this works for you. Life would be so much easier if my intrinsic motivation was well-aligned with my rational thinking.
I'm pretty excited about this Intel P chips of the 12th generation. It's seems they are going to be a good competitor for M1 for the Linux world. At least, benchmarks show good numbers, we'll see.
I've talked with several soil scientists that are concerned that we may have another dust bowl. Odds are we are going to see more and more severe droughts, and our standard corn and wheat farming practices leave the soil in a wind susceptible condition during the wrong times of the year. We just don't put enough organic matter back into the soil each rotation, so we need to fertilize to offset the nutrient loss, and we end up with terrible sand-like soil that can blow away and take all the nutrients with it.

IIRC, this was the issue that Salish Blue was engineered to address. I know about double cropping, but I fear that doubling down on our current practices for short-term gain might put us in a worse place 10+ years down the road.

On a separate note, we really need to stop subsidizing corn production for fuel. 40% of our annual yields goes to ethanol.

The Ethernet Expansion Card seems to be using USB type C connector. Can it works on non Framework computers?

Also, anyone has recommendation for great affordable router with 2.5 gigabit ethernet ports for home lab setup? I've been searching for one but it seems only gaming routers include these ports. I prefer something more enterprisy (lots of options to tinker with like mikrotik or pfsense), but those usually don't come with 2.5 gigabit ethernet ports, instead they (the affordable ones) have plenty of 1 gigabit ethernet ports and a single sfp+ port. Or should I bite the bullet and go full sfp+ for home lab setup?

Heh, I did not know that.
This seems spot on to me. It's all just a tower of dumb greed in the end. Web3 is just stupid expensive P2P without a pure disruption model so they just ate it up
Really happy to see this, although I must've bought one of the last Gen 11 Frameworks at full price (literally 2 days ago ).
I think it's mostly a case of people wishing utopia was achievable in their fantasy-land. But, it doesn't help that companies like Tencent have stakes in the company. If the CCP can get their hands on anything American, it'd be to their advantage to try to use it to contribute to the destabilization of our society.

I find it surprising not seeing this more prominently mentioned in the thread so I'll leave it here: GET HELP.

Seriously, what's the next step after acknowledging you have a disease (addiction being a well documented one)? GETTING HELP to treat it.

You just established your default-mode mind isn't amenable to your wellbeing: how do you see it helping to correct itself without any outside input?

As of this week, I just tipped back into sanity after 8 months being dysfunctional, another lapse into full avoidant coping mechanisms. It was certainly not the first time of my life, but I still got it wrong: I waited too long before reaching for help. As soon as I did the tide started stabilizing, and then it reversed. It took a couple of months (and leveraged the previously acquired experience) but it is obvious to me I'm back out of it now. Sleep, screen time, inner discourse... All indicators are in the green again.

Procrastination, addictions are symptoms hinting at other root causes. Believing that you can implement measures to keep it in check goes right against the very essence of the issue (as the article perfectly illustrates), and shows you don't have the correct grasp of the situation yet. You're leaving too much to chance, and I can tell you this is absolutely inefficient.

It is not the time to be picky and stick to one single truth® either: use a policy mix. The only required part is having someone TRAINED and EXPERIMENTED in dealing with your issue supervising your efforts. Someone you see in a regular fashion, each encounter creating another rung of the ladder that will get you out of this pit. Being in this kind of interaction tremendously helps with building the inner strength that up till now was lacking. They are your source of courage and support, the dam/dyke against which you fears, doubts and uncertainties will crash and subside. So make sure you feel you can trust them and stay clear from overly intrusive ones. But don't be too scared and just go to that first appointment.

Beyond that, anything goes, ritual/habitual practices especially (building up strength over time thanks to repetition). As long as you have that one external support providing strength and continuity to your efforts, you are bound to succeed. It will take some time, but the burden will get progressively lighter and the results more stable.

In the therapeutic frameworks department, I can strongly recommend EMDR, CBT and IFS (Internal Family System). If you can find someone in your area (or remote, you can actually self-administrate EMDR under the guidance of someone!) trained in one or several of those techniques that you get on well with, you're golden. This will most likely be the most efficient time-wise, but to a certain degree most things help, so start looking up directories of practitioners or local support group.

Take care everyone.
> From what I've seen from comments of supporters on patreon, the community tends to be much nicer to the dev than typical forums. It's always strange to me that people who don't want to pay tend to be the worst when it comes to support and politeness.

I would say that it is rather that only a small fraction of people pay, and those are usually the most satisfied users anyway to be willing to pay for the additionnal features. The platform has little to do with it.
I mean, yeah?

It is not in a company's interest to be unionized. This shouldn't exactly be news.

Even in this article, the organizers acknowledge that what Apple is doing isn't illegal, but argue that it should be.

I get it. Organizing labor is tough. They're looking for some legal reprieve. But at the end of the day unions are fundamentally bad for employers. We can push for laws requiring them to roll out a welcome mat but we shouldn't expect them to like it.
Autonomous driving solves for all of these problems.
> C++ also has 'constexpr if'

FTR since 1.46.0, Rust also has if inside const contexts (as well as loop and match, but no for loops as they are trait based and traits in const are still being developed): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#ve...
There is, yes. You put a file in the root of your project with the specific version of Rust you want, and it’ll get picked up and used by the tooling.
I have had many issues with Realtek over the years causing windows to wake. Just changing the network card in my laptop to Intel causes that issue to go away. I won’t buy a motherboard for my desktop if it’s Realtek.
2nd Cousins?

When F# first came out it was OCaml syntax on dot net runtime. But much like C# starting as MS's Java, it quickly grew away from that starting point.

Haskell had a bout of popularity when F# was young so it picked up a Haskellish syntax and workflows.

These days there is an obvious ancestry with OCaml but not that close.
> Auditing the script won't help you, because it'll say it will install a program somewhere. Which is what you want, so you'll consider the audit "ok" [but that program is made by the same people as the installation script].

Your argument doesn't take into consideration that build artifacts / software releases have culture and best practices behind them. Such releases are often considered, tested, cut, digested, signed and included in package managers delegating trust.

Many one-off installation shell scripts are not afforded that culture, especially when maintained from within (static) websites that update frequently. On the other hand, they are small enough for you to audit a bit. If you'd compare the script with one that someone else downloaded a month earlier (i.e. archive.org), that would help a lot to establish trust.

> If we ignore the idea of downloading and building every program from source

Your argument is equally valid when building every program from source. You will not be able to review the source code of moderately large programs. You will need to delegate your trust in that case as well.
Very cool, and it’s true Rust is dense. On the other hand C, the other typical option, either requires massive amounts of ancillary tooling and macros like Zephyr to get even close to doing as much at compile time. Those tools and macros add density and complexity. Arguably C++ is about equivalent with fewer pros over C and plenty of the cons of C still there along with some new ones.

I appreciate the idea of trying to create a auditable OS for an MMU capable CPU, the reality is once you have feature you care about that becomes harder and harder it seems.
To be fair, do you really expect a community as nerdy as this not to engage in pedantry about semantics? I would anticipate that in every discussion, inflammatory or not (I might even participate).
You are presenting option 2 as though it "achieves his goal directly" but it also comes with significant costs which you completely elide.

No option is clean.

Why should Thomas do something direct if something indirect achieves his goal, if a little bit less, but with far fewer harms?

Direct is not always better than indirect, especially in domains where any direct action has myriad indirect effects too.
Oh cool, I didn't know Glitch actually worked with Slack to get the name. I miss that stupid game.
It's simply a political/better CPU market perspective. Intel had the entire market for so long, and therefore stopped improving. They are getting some fire behind their behind-parts now, but that took a good while. I'm cheering and voting with my wallet for the underdog in the market to make the whole market more competitive. At least that's what I like to believe.
The paper "Large-Scale Study of Curiosity-Driven Learning"[1]
talks about AI that likes to take actions that yield results that it didn't predict.

The idea is that curiosity is good intrinsic reward function. The problem though is that it can get stuck doing something that is completely unpredictable, like changing the channel on a TV.

I think this explains a lot about human addiction to endless videos as well. Ironically I learned about this from a YouTube video[2].

“Blocking your own breathing hole”

Ok. Well thanks for removing all doubt here at least.
You can manually update to a newer kernel and generally have it work as end user. For a distro maintainer though, you have to pick a stable target to develop, validate, and release against. Fedora seems to typically be slightly more aggressive on their intercepts than other major distros.
I didn't mind mandatory fun that's just stuff you might do anyway like going down the pub with your colleagues and maybe your boss to get some pints it, but I'm really not a fan of structured mandatory fun that involves a sense of obligation.
Any software you choose to run could not respect your desires and leave a mess. This is not a random shell script. It's the officially recommended way to install Rust [0], vetted and maintained by the community. You're free to audit the script before running it, or even check out the source [1]. If this doesn't satisfy you, check out the other installation methods [2].

Edit: I realize you're not speaking specifically about rustup, but what I said can and should apply to anything you choose to install this way.

>> I wonder how we got to this point.

The glib answer is "Capitalism, neo-liberalism, and the lack political party that actually answers to/is beholden to the labor class". There's a lot of nuance in those 3 things, but if you study the history of labor struggles and policy in the US it's mostly that.
As a parent in the thick of babies exactly at this age and surrounded by other parents in the same situation, I cannot tell the difference between a "covid" baby and any other.

What I can tell you is how much time and effort the parents are putting into the baby, and whether is home-schooled or goes to school/daycare.

First child? They're probably walking early. Third kid? They'll be pushing a year and a half old with barely 5 words in their repertoire and I'll consider them lucky if they can hold themselves upright using a chair for support.

The parents with 3 young kids just don't have the bandwidth to provide the kind of attention that the baby needs.

I essentially think about it this way - consider how much information AlphaGo has to learn with. Now consider how much information your brain processes with only your vision. You think there's gonna be a statistically relevant causation because there's a piece of fabric on the adult's face?

I can't say for certain, but from my daily sampling it's much less than you intuitively would think. Kids are resilient and motivated to learn.
Do you have any more evidence for some of the claims made in those texts than you do for the claims made in religious texts? Read them all as fiction, but they're still culturally significant and a lot can be learned by reading them, even if all you are learning is more about your fellow human's perspective.
I fondly recall the mandatory volleyball games at my first employer. The guy with no arms got hired; played one game, and kicked ass. Suddenly the games weren't mandatory anymore and the bosses' kids took up baseball instead of volleyball.

Yeah we expose interfaces to ignore blocking on the LSN, but the way this works is by proxying the Ecto Repo interface with our own Repo. So you could call your underlying Repo directly if you wanted to perform a write without blocking on the LSN as well.
This is an enforcement issue. People need to get pulled over for blocking / hogging the passing lane.

I believe New Jersey actually enforces it a bit. I was often warned to avoid the left lane because police would use passing lane laws as an excuse to target my out-of-state plates. Could have also been complete hearsay though
Framework has said many times that they won't discuss future product plans. I doubt they want to experience the Osborne Effect.
Easy. Ronald Reagan.

Alot of people felt that unions were way too strong going into the 70s and 80s. Particularly as the “new south” became an onshore outsourcing destination, policy flipped.
The article specifically says micrometer so it would be right between millimeter and nano sized plastics. They will only get smaller as they degrade.

Better power handling per performance ratio, at least when compared to previous Intel generations.

Better integrated graphics, especially with the upcoming line, if what AMD says holds true.

Non-toxic approach to business.

Lack of standards committee body making decisions is feature, not a bug. Car manufactures can stick with C.
Does anyone know if the Framework laptop use a mainboard form factor that is available with AMD chips?

The modularity of some components can be assumed because they are industry standards, like wifi modules I suppose. Other components perhaps Framework have designed their own range of modules with a common form factor, but it must be very expensive to engineer a compatible mainboard in the same form factor with a different chipset, unless they are using an existing standardised design.
This is a pretty bad take on the article. When Ruby added pattern matching, I was excited and interested in it because I had seen it in other languages and wanted to see how it could work in Ruby. This is no different.
