I'd rather buy a similarly light laptop, that has a touchscreen.

You can already get AMD Zen 3+ machines in this size class, that isn't too far behind in perf & efficiency. Doing so gives you much better Linux compatibility, a touchscreen, and (sometimes) better feeling keyboards. Battery life will always come up short though, x86 laptops just can't match these new macbooks.
There’s no point of speculating about hypotheticals. It’s been a flag since 15.3. It’s for power users only just like some of the WebRTC flags.

> Value in terms of dollars is not really correlated with productive value to society.

No correlation? No, I don't think that's true. Sure, there are externalities, but if something truly isn't valuable, you can't make money from it.

Also, what do you think shouldn't be built? I have a hard time coming up with "a lot" of software that has zero or negative value. Sometimes a startup will build something that doesn't end up being valuable, but it was at least potentially valuable, or it wouldn't have been funded.
Good observation!

I suspect that we ourselves are partially to blame here.

Influencer culture isn't a problem on email, IRC, etc. because when we use those we expect ourselves to be active participants. We take for granted that we have to show up and provide something of interest to the others in the forum.

But when we go on Twitter, YouTube, etc. we expect to just mindlessly consume content without giving anything back. That creates an attentional vacuum where everyone wants to consume and no one wants to produce. Influencers fill that vacuum because no one else does.

In other words, email is like a potluck dinner and we would feel rude walking in without a dish. Other asymmetric social media is like a free picnic where everyone shows up empty handed and ends up eating from the giant tub of fries that McDonald's brought as a marketing campaign because, well, what else is there?

So maybe the trick is to avoid communities that you don't contribute to.
E implies the ability to use additional channels at the 6 GHz frequencies. With 5 GHz there are some problems, almost everyone uses the lower ones, leading to congestion and ignoring the upper ones due to DFS (radar detection; people are not fond of their wifi randomly not working).

And contrary to yours opinion, I consider that both 4 (-n) and 5 (-ac) brought very nice things (like support for new frequencies, wider channels or multiple streams). I happened to own 3x3 MIMO ac router at the time and together with 2015 MBP, I saw what it was not necessary to provide ethernet port anymore.

I'm sure there are others.

I don't know about C#, it's not an ecosystem I swim in at all, but there are multiple python options (including Pyto, the venerable Pythonista and jupyter notebook hosts like Juno & Carnets). There are js environments like Scriptable and Play.js. And it's not Xcode but Swift Playgrounds offers, of course, swift including swift.ui and the ability to redistribute those projects (with some limitations) including submitting directly to the App Store.

I get it; I use an iPad a lot for a great many things. It's not perfect - I have a long list of things I would like to see addressed. Low effort complaints like "let me know when I can code on it" are just that though; low effort. So those who complain "how to code on it?" or about how it exactly match the workflow they use on a completely different platform etc just sound.... whiney.

Low effort noise when some basic infrastructure could enable so many other workflows. I like my iPad, I use it every day, I hope to use more with less friction soon-ish. Yup, same thing every June.

Sans the fan actually [0]. Yes, the cooling system got worse for the M1 Air.

The new slightly thicker Pros are great, but their chassis’ are not a significant factor in how they perform relative to the old Intel models.

The new M2 Air is the thinnest an Air has ever been. I bet it will perform excellently as well.

he is being downvoted for the same reason this article exists, pc culture doesn't like being corrected. There is a war against historical accuracy for the sake of adding in women or random races that wouldn't be there.

The annoying thing is that it makes no sense to do this because there are plenty of non-male or non-white leaders to pick from anyway.

My favorite empire is the Ajuuran sultanate that was a very powerful african sultanate in modern day somalia. It traded as far as china and it had many victories over great powers like portugal.

A great female leader that actually existed was queen boudica, one of the greatest celtic anti-roman rebels. She led her people and dealt a lot of damage to the roman invaders before she inevitably lost to the chads that are the roman legions.

Rather than blackwash or add in random women we can just look to the parts of history that already contain that.
We had the top loading version. I'm really glad this version is cosmetic only, because we had to return the original several times for suddenly refusing to read discs.
Containers are virtualized on macOS. x86-64 containers have used qemu to run the whole system under emulation, which is pretty slow. This workflow continues to require QEMU; however, now you can create an arm64 container and run x86-64 code in that using this technology.
A sledge hammer is not subtle. Someone breaking a door with a sledgehammer is very obviously breaking a door. It’s also very obvious in the aftermath that the door has been opened.
There are definitely a few gems on the Sega CD; Lunar and Popful Mail are two common examples.

I also do find that, in hindsight, there's a bizarre charm to the Full Motion Video games that were popular in the 90s. Night Trap and Corpse Killers aren't "good" games in any kind of objective sense, but at the same time they're extremely entertaining games in 2022, at least worth playing on an emulator.
I tried Windows 10 and Windows 11 on a Mac M1 with UTM and Windows 11 with Parallels.

I found that Windows 11 ran much better than Windows 10 (it gets stuck) on UTM and I found that Parallels ran much better than UTM.

So, I’d say yes.

The author is ranting a lot about OSMF's recent decisions, gives all kinds of reasons why they will undoubtedly lead to horrible consequences and grants sage advice what should have been done instead.

The only thing I'm missing is any indication that OSMF's course actually did cause any problems in reality.

What?

> the inevitable deprecation of native applications to PWAs

If that were going to happen it would have happened already, at least on Android. The reality (and I say this as a web developer) is that it's harder to make mobile apps that perform and feel and look as good as native apps. The same is not true on desktop OSes, with their current SDKs and dev experience, which is the reason they've taken over there.

> I will not be able to turn off the push notification feature in the browser

I have no idea what this means either. You already have to opt-in to notifications for each individual web app, which is actually more than can be said for native apps. Web apps are assumed to be user-hostile, vs native apps that are usually just slightly user-hostile but get treated as non-hostile anyway.

> I shouldn't have to trust _all_ the code in the world that my browser can potentially pull in

How is this different from trusting all the code in the world that your native apps pull in? And before you say it's all been screened by Apple- there are various widely-used methods to dynamically load code into an app after the fact

PWAs are especially important on mobile OSes because they put competitive pressure on the walled garden. xCloud only exists on iOS because of a web app. When I used a de-googled Android phone I was only able to use maps and access my bank account by using web apps. The web is an open platform that pierces the veil, and keeps the native ecosystems honest.
PWAs are never going to happen. I wish for a free and open app ecosystem as much as anyone else. But PWAs are not the way.
Right, but for Apple to gain share in the rest of world like they have in the US, they need to drop prices, and that'd hurt their margins, including in the US if enough people buy cheaper foreign macs (which is definitely a thing, in my western european country there's a couple of somewhat popular retailers selling imported US laptops which are cheaper than local SKUs)

> Overfertilization is a major issue

An unrelated issue. That’s important. I have no reason to expect it to get worse. What runs off the fields is necessarily not used by crops.

> And you can bet farmers are already maxing that out as much as they can on an industrial scale.

I doubt that.

All industries, agriculture included, are incentivised to maximise profits. Optimising profit sure isn’t environmentally friendly, but it also doesn’t mean treating fertiliser as a magic potion.

A productivity optimised farm looks like this: https://farmingaquaponics.com/aeroponics-vs-hydroponics/

That’s pointlessly expensive right now for most crops, so those are fairly limited. Likewise, the economically optimal quantity of fertiliser used by farms is different from the optimal quantity for the health of people living down-river — but that’s just as true regardless of if CO2 is higher or lower than we consider desirable for the general global climate.
No, this requires changes to use new APIs. I expect the major VM developers to adopt it in the coming days and weeks.
It bothers me no end. Pure fanboism in full display. Anecdotally I use all the OSes and Linux is my fave. You have to know your shit to fully leverage Linux, but that’s the price you pay for not using proprietary software.
I think it’s important to acknowledge that human error is in part systems design error.
The recent Atlassian error was human error. Or was it? My boss at YouTube used to write shell scripts in lane duck mode. By default they output a dry run. Why does he do this? Preventing human error. That’s a systems design to eliminate the vast majority of misuse of a shell scrip.

If Atlassian had implemented a similar scheme, especially for a dangerous script they wouldn’t have accidentally deleted hundreds of client records.
Had they planned for data recovery and practices it they could have written partial data restore scripts at their leisure rather than when 300 clients were down.

Had they split functionally of safe scrips away from dangerous scripts, had they described dangerous behavior in the script, warned or required confirmation, had they trained users in proper use of dangerous scripts, had they documented proper processes…

Human error just means you designed a system that can be misused. It’s not reasonable to design for eliminating all error but it’s certainly possible to prioritize risk and plan for avoiding high risk errors.
Apple, Microsoft and Google together to improve how you login to sites without password. And they will store your "secret" so that you don't need to type it. And you'll be able to recover from any device that is already authenticated.

At the same time, every week we see a "Tell HN: how I lost all access to my email/site/account because of {reason}", where {reason} is some stupid thing that the AI flagged.

Yep, you're right. Rebooting fixed it. Thanks :)
A large number of Macbook Pros from around 2013-2015 have had failed SSDs. Mine failed 4 years ago.

Because I was able to put in a new SSD - one twice the size and about twice the speed, I might add - I was able to keep using the system, and still am. I had to use an adapter, because Apple tried to discourage SSD replacement by using a proprietary pinout on the NVMe connector.

If the soldered-on SSD in an M1 mac fails, you can't even boot the system. You can't send the system off to have someone do a board-level replacement, because apparently they do some bullshit to "pair" the flash chips with the flash controller.

Apple has gone out of their way to take systems that used to be incredibly durable and long-lasting, and give them a very finite lifespan.
No that's still wrong. The inside panel is the only thing doing any validation. The front panel more or less is dumb IO.

The vulnerability really is in the inside panel and changing the outside panel to just be a keypad wouldn't have prevented the mistake.

which is a fair point, but its a far cry from the claim of running the empire.

The wives of many leaders tend to be important politically and have a hand in the nation's affairs, but its a large leap to claim that means they ran it.

She was important absolutely, but the article was just using too much hyperbole.

also the army stat was complete bs, we know they were not in need of resorting to female soldiers due to their large enough population.
It's getting ridiculous. Most of my front page is links to Apple stuff.

Can we get a single "Apple" thread to dump all announcements, etc.?
Strangely, the climate doesn't care at all how many people there are. No matter how much the emissions drop per person, if they're not dropping overall, then no progress has been made. We're in just as bad of a situation as we've ever been. This is no way looks good -- the scale of the problem is so immense, and progress on the only metric that actually matters continues to be non-existent.

On a global scale, worldwide production of fossil fuels is not going down. I fail to see any evidence that this is being fixed. Maybe someday the various technologies will converge in a way that fixes the issue -- but I doubt it.
It's been almost 3 years since I first presented on WebTransport + WebCodecs: https://youtu.be/VD5GBLBiSxo

Live streaming was a motivating example for both of those, as you can tell from the video. And both of them grew out of our efforts to make WebRTC better for live streaming.
It doesn't say "Apple Vehicle" it just says vehicle, capitalized as the first word in the sentence. In the context of Apple CarPlay, the section that it's in, I think it's a more reasonable assumption that they will announce which vehicles from companies that actually make cars will come with the new CarPlay.
I am rough with mine (my first uses were on some IBM tank from the late 80s/early 90s when I was young and a Lenovo T61 in college). Spurious clicks and taps happen all the time when I end up using the things. I have spent minutes trying to get an Apple trackpad to perform to drag and drop and instead having it do every other thing from extra clicks on the way to zooming to running out of space when I get to the edge trying to get where I'm going. The fact that you can SSH in and use a more exacting interface is the best feature of the things IMO, but sometimes the UI is just the only way to get something done.

I also liked the matte texture of the ThinkPad, but I think that era is over (the XPS isn't glassy like Apple's at least, but still lacks texture).
A lock is a delaying device.

A lock is (should be) tamper-evident.

All locks can (probably) be bypassed (eg: sledgehammer), but it’s best if it is visible that tampering has occurred.

The SEC filing (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312522...) very explicitly says that Musk has _already had the opportunity to ask for clarifying information_ and that Musk _is already happy with the results of those discussions_. It explicitly explains that the only thing that Musk considers material is included in this document already, and that anything outside of this document should not be considered when evaluating the agreement.

Section 5.11 (note that "Parent" / "Acquisition Sub" refers to Musk and "Company" refers to Twitter):

> Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub has conducted, to its satisfaction, its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub has relied solely on the results of its own independent review and analysis and the covenants, representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement. Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any other Person, makes or has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective business or operations, in each case, other than those expressly given solely by the Company in Article IV; and (ii) neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub is relying on any express or implied representation or warranty, or the accuracy or the completeness of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective business or operations, in each case, other than those expressly given solely by the Company in Article IV.
It's worth mentioning that while this type of story usually has the prosecuting company as the villain, this particular case concerns Team Xecuter, known infamously in the homebrew scene for stealing code to repackage and sell for profit without credit, marketing themselves explicitly around piracy, and many other deeply unethical practices. Teams like that reflect poorly on the scene as a whole and give hackers that simply want to put their own software on the devices that they own a bad name. This is a case where I do think that a prison sentence for the accused benefits society.

Docker on Mac (and Windows) is a full-blown VM. The containers assume Linux, so they are getting it -- inside that VM.

That also brings issue with networking. Sure, if you are using the bridged (in Docker's parlance) networks, you won't notice. If you need to use host/ipvlan/macvlan, you will.
I've noticed this too, but it seems Bluetooth related. There's a report with the Linux kernel, but no progress as yet.

That's a pyramid scheme. An MLM is (supposed to be) when product sales can still sustain the business at a marginal level, even while employing the same model of worthwhile profit being based on how many people you recruit. Of course, it's probable that many businesses that pass themselves off as MLMs are, in actuality, pyramid schemes that are able to hide their non-viability well.
