Nah,

Long way for that, you'd have to (at least):

* Prove the report contains false info

* Prove it happened on purpose AND with an intent to commit fraud

* Prove it affects the transaction in a substantial way

* Prove this is enough to stop the transaction from happening, and get away with zero consequences

... and it won't be hard for Twitter's lawyers to turn any of these on their favor.
only two usb-c ports :(
Sure there is. There are probably millions of Discord servers used by small groups of people for a common purpose. Same thing with Mastodon instances and subreddits. You don't hear about them because they're not trying to take over the world or build some huge platform. They're just groups of people that want to hang out with each other.
FIDO2/WebAuthn don't have anything to do with user management from an application architecture perspective. They leave all the work of combining the attestation credentials and your application's concept of a "user" to the application.

This means you can (and should as a designer) have multiple sets of credentials for one "user", multiple distinct credentials that you (the user) can register to multiple separate "user"s in the application, etc.

I believe all FIDO2 authenticators (like hardware keys) should generate a new hardware / key ID for each request for pairing a new credential. I know that my key does that, when I was working on implementing WebAuthn for $DAYJOB.

https://developers.yubico.com/WebAuthn/ is a good jumping off point.
There are no "roundabout morals" here.

This man told 110,000 of his employees to return to the office or find another job, during a still-surging pandemic. This is immoral and reckless from any angle.

If his net worth is reduced, it will reduce the impact of his actions on people and the environment.

We all share this planet. It is not a free-for-all stomping grounds for the highest paid capitalists.
Be careful - many people here hang an entire identity on their high status, high paid jobs which were earned by memorising the answers to theoretical algorithms questions. It is important to their self worth that that stuff is relevant to the real world.

You'll get a similar reaction to if you try to show people who won money on crypto art or tesla that they are lucky early members of a pyramid scheme.
I spend a lot of my (non-work) time doing photo editing using Adobe products while traveling.

I'll happily take a laptop that is 10x as fast as my current one...
My interpretation, which I'm only 90% sure of, is that if we weren't early we'd be dead, since an earlier civilization would have colonized Earth for their own purposes.

So seeing no one else out there is to be expected.

It's a bit like how it's NOT weird that we happened to evolve on a planet that is so extremely favorable to our form of life.
The best of both worlds would probably be a magnetically detachable USB-C cable. There are such cables out there but they have very very bad quality, at least those few I've tried.
Because ppl use Docker, even when it's not really that necessary...
I'm using Nix for the past few years and it has obviated the need for Docker.
I have simple shell.nix files, which are activated via direnv and that's it; 0 runtime overhead, no need to install various java/node/python/ruby version managers.

What actually feasts on memory is the various chat apps and project management and knowledge-base management software, in-browser email clients, github pages, JetBrains IDEs.

You should keep these closed, whenever u can and then 8GB is enough comfortably.
You will still receive Slack notifications on your phone, then u can fire up Slack to reply or have a discussion. Same with Notion or Logseq. You don't need to have a gmail tab open all the time either. The built-in Mail.app might just be enough for you too, which might eat slightly less memory. You can use Sublime Text or Emacs for editing, instead of VS Code or WebStorm. Install a browser-tab suspender extension. Download technical docs and read them via Dash (or whatever open-source equivalent it has). Have you looked into how much memory does a github.com page eats?
Depp-Heard Seems Like a Civil Liberties Disaster to Me
Office for Mac is a non-starter for power users due to the lack of Alt-key accelerators. There are countless other missing features, but that alone is enough to never make the switch
For a business, implementing FIDO in this case seems like a win. They get more lockout of password sharing, and have to explicitly work to enable shared logins (if that's something they want). Of course it's nice for an end user to be able to share credentials, but I think long term outlook will be towards businesses and applications pushing to improve their user management tooling.

Anecdotally, in the instance you described they net the same $60/yr regardless of wether you use your wife's login, so they're getting more stringent access controls (though you could always use the device in question, too) in line with their terms of service.

(Would also note that my response does not cover your latter points on helping users manage their accounts with their presence, but without their device presence, which I agree is a valid concern)
From what I understand, and this definitely isn't propaganda the reality is that people are much happier to have 'hard' currency than rubles and a lot of hard currency is coming into Russia in physical form via for instance Turkey but also other countries.
Which is the same per GB price that I paid 10 years ago to upgrade my 2012 MacBook Air from 4 to 8 GB, which cost $100.
FIDO2 resident keys (the thing people are now calling passkeys) allow for multiple credentials for a single site. If you have a device that supports resident keys you can try this for yourself on https://webauthn.io.

There is also no way for a site to know if two sets of credentials belong to the same physical hardware device or not. Sites can request the attestation certificate, but that is not unique per device (the spec says the attestation cert should be shared by at least 100,000 devices). If you want to see the attestation cert for a fido(2) device, I made a little tool that will show it to you: https://what-the-fido.sanford.io/
Fun side note: Bochs has a working port on the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Booting up Windows 95 on my PSP in high school was my geeky party trick.
They would probably rather you watch videos on appleTV anyway.
I can’t even get my main project to work…
I love Chris' writing. He seems to be more of a "regular guy", not a "writer", and it comes through in his work.
You'd hope so. But in the case of ISIS you could argue that it was a near-state actor. And we just can't predict the trajectory of state actors. Pakistan is troublesome. So is Iran, even with its "civilian" nuclear program. North-Korea. Those are just examples from the present. There are lots of other countries that would need nuclear power but whom I wouldn't count on surviving the next few decades. And many are too corrupt to regulate a nuclear industry well enough.

Just hand-waving away future risks like that does sound intellectually dishonest and careless to me.
The M1 already has VP9 acceleration in the “media engine” chunk of the SoC.

https://singhkays.com/blog/apple-silicon-m1-video-power-cons...

Though Apple doesn’t super explicitly say that.

As for AV1…well, we don’t really know yet. That’s deep in the weeds, and it’s entire possible the M2 does have accelerated decoding, but they just didn’t spell that out yet.
The RAM being on-die, the 8 gig option is probably a result of binning and marketing what makes sense with yield rates.
Counterpoint: M2 is a tock release, not a tick. This is pretty much the same behavior that ended up getting Intel shot in the foot: leaning too heavily on marginal performance increases from process enhancement will bite you in the butt when your competitors get their tech on your node. Intel and AMD are both going to be on 5nm in 2023, Apple should be pretty worried if this is what they're fighting with. 3nm isn't even getting taped off until 2024 AFAIK, so this really does feel like Apple's "Skylake" moment, as far as desktop CPU architecture is concerned.
Did you have to do anything legally dubious to get that Windows ARM VM running? I thought that Windows for ARM wasn't officially available except on Qualcomm devices.
It would be nice if they could get close in terms of battery. Every windows laptop I’ve ever had including my current one I use for work has had a battery life of around 3 or 4 hours. Compared to my MacBook Air which can easily seem to go over 24.
BLAST is so deeply embedded in modern genome biology that it is hard to find short descriptions. Basically, there are two parts:

(1) local sequence (string) similarity scores (scores that allow mismatches, but need not extend to the end of either string) are distributed as the "extreme value distribution", which means that it is very easy to distinguish between similarity by chance and similarity because of common ancestry (I think of the names for the same entity as ancestral). This is a very powerful concept, that allows one to accurately set false-positive rates (it does not help with false negatives)

(2) BLAST calculates local similarity scores at O(n^2)/K where K is very very large by first identifying significant conserved "words" using a lookup table, then looking for runs of those words along an alignment diagonal, and then trying to extend that diagonal using an efficient banded dynamic programming algorithm.
How will this work on Linux?
That's probably something to do with the GPU driver. Win98 doesn't really have any intrinsic limit on display resolution beyond the 16-bit limit (32k in each dimension, although I suspect you'll run out of address space for the framebuffer first) --- I've personally used 98se on a CRT at 2048x1536.
low efficiency and high cost.
The improved battery life with M1 is so good that I pretty much only plug in when I'm at my desk. Most of the situations in which MagSafe saved me before (and there were plenty) I'm just not using a charger at all, now. And at my desk, I'm plugging into my monitor, not directly into a wall outlet. In fact, I almost never plug my Air into its charging brick at all.
I've been running an Odyssey from Seeed Studio for a while now, as an in-house dev server running SQL Server and IIS. It's the form factor you want, and it's been flawless (even though it's underpowered for what I'm doing with it.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm never upgrading if I can help it...
Grizzly: Deploy and Observe as One
- Swift Playgrounds supports coding, running, and submitting iOS apps to the app store.

- Pythonista is a python IDE for iOS

- iSH Shell is an emulated x86 terminal environment

I still wish they would allow a full dev sandbox on iPad. It can be fully isolated from the root filesystem, I just want to have a terminal, local git repos, and be able to point a text editor at it.
Oh nice, looks like Tau just put out a new point release last week

https://github.com/tau-prolog/tau-prolog/blob/master/RELEASE...

this looks handy https://github.com/tau-prolog/tau-prolog/issues/295
Well, realistically not all services will support WebAuthn… spending an hour to handle a dozen important ones doesn't sound like a big deal to me.
For people undecided because of the notch, it might not look as clean on photographs but in practice, macOS knows that it's there and they did a good job in order to avoid displaying anything behind it.

It's empty space, and the whole row goes completely black in most fullscreen cases too as the screen is 16:10 BELOW the menu bar.

You forget it as easily as you forget that you have a nose right in the middle of your vision.
You should always add at least two keys for every service in case you lose the first anyway. That was the case even before Apple passkey so just keep doing the same.
> Most of the powerful laptops are neither Macs, as those go to the gaming laptops where - this is a big surprise - games and their performance counts. Apple has no answer there.

Games? the biggest market is the Mobile market, Desktop market is shrinking year after year, it'll become a niche very soon

Ever heard of Genshin Impact? https://gamerant.com/genshin-impact-made-more-money-in-its-f...

And please learn to project a little when you do some analysis, yesterday is long gone, tomorrow is what's going on

And when say nobody, i talk about the people making a deliberate choice, in that group, rarer are the people choosing a windows laptop, other than the people replacing their IT fleets, or your granny picking a cheap laptop because she has no clue what an OS is anyways and everything is pre-installed with Windows, for some reasons ;)
It pretty much is as far as I know. There are even open source hardware key specs.
>Judging by the fact that master lock is still widely sold, it’s not common knowledge how crap they are.

I think you misunderstand the threat model and/or use case. Most of the time I don't think anyone expects locks to do anything except keep honest people honest and dissuade the lowest level of opportunistic attacks.

A sledge hammer is cheap. It can open just about any door. The difference between a cheap door and hardware and a high end security door might be ~5 minutes of hammer time. (Nothing can stop hammer time). Nothing will stop someone with time and tools.

But if that threat model were a concern, we'd see a lot more bars on ground-level windows and the like. No one cares. Because 99.99% of the time, it's not going to be a problem.

Now, there are definitely use cases out there where it makes a big difference and people want the security. But MOST of the time, people aren't trying to stop or slow down someone with bolt cutters, a bump key, or shim.
You can't put the PIN pad inside, but you can put the screw inside.
if scientific discovery could be automated, that would be the most significant event in human history
it's less a case of city planners being empowered and more a case of property rights being absolute (similar to Japan, France or Germany) which gives property and land owners the right to do whatever they want (within the confines of national regulation), which leads to development towards economic demands naturally.

This is also why Seoul or many Japanese cities look so individualistic and mosaic like from one lot to the other as the author describes in the article.
I can kind of see the larger point you're making – it would be nice to be able to directly use an Apple Pencil on a Mac, but at the same time I do think separate OSes are necessary for radically different form factors. The UX requirements just change too much between phone/tablet and laptop/desktop… when you try to fudge both models into the same device you get a mess like Windows 8 or GNOME 3/4 which doesn't serve either set of users particularly well.

> Instead touch is locked in a tiny screen on Apple’s least-used OS (well, after tvOS I guess).

If sales figures are any indicator, it's macOS that likely takes the position second-least-used OS. Apple sold 19.1 million iPads in 2021 and only 10 million Macs[0]. Lots of users who'd never consider buying a Mac are in the market for some form of iPad.

> fanless laptop

See also: "how do you provide ever thinner laptops?"

The reason you're so sensitive to fans is because Apple's attention to cooling goes far, far, beyond a joke. Modern processors will throttle at their maximum temperature (typically 100C for CPUs). Apple's approach has always been to depend on that as a cooling solution. People have improved the cooling on the M1 to something in the ballpark of the M1 Pro, and performance lifts to match.

M1 has certainly thrown the whole compute-per-TDP equation into chaos, and you'll definitely see more performance prior to hitting tj-max, but when that comes, performance will come crashing down. They don't have fanless cooling, they essentially have no cooling.

If your workloads don't require extended periods of compute, then the fanless Apples can't be beat. Claiming that the M1 beats x86 laptops across the board is, well, "very uninformed " to say it kindly. To say it frankly, fans of high-end devices (whether Windows or Linux) do get very noisy in the face of uninformed bullshit.
GPU wattage seems to be increasing, but that appears to be linearly correlated with the number of cores they're adding. Still a bit of an "Intel Moment" all things considered, but not as bad as it could have been.
> How would you go about checking if somebody is qualified in an interview?

It depends on the job, but for coding I've had great luck asking them to bring some code they were proud of in to the interview. Language doesn't matter, subject doesn't matter.

And then in the interview I ask them to teach me how it works. It becomes apparent in no time if they don't know what they're doing (or stole it). And if they can tell me about it, I learn how well they understand their own system--do they only understand it well enough to code it, or do they understand it well enough to teach it? I also learn if they're a good communicator. And if they're a good culture fit. And if they're enthusiastic about coding. I can also ask probing questions about design decisions and shortcomings.

That covers the "how well do they code" part, but falls a little short on the problem-solving part. But I can come up with on-the-fly questions (often about the code they brought in) that exercise those muscles. "What would you do if this data weren't available?" "What if you needed more guaranteed uptime?" "What if you needed to process 1000x more data in the same timeframe?" These are more relevant questions.

I'm after someone who learns fast. I'll take someone who knows a little and learns fast over someone who knows a lot and learns slow 9/10 times.

(Once I had someone bring in a device driver written in C for a JavaScript gig. They were hired. Another time we hired a dev with zero experience in the platform, language, or framework. Worked out great.)

If they ace leetcode-style challenges, I know they're good at _that_, but I don't trust it as a proxy for the other things I want to know, above.
Asahi Linux. And it is awesome, the future is here. Just waiting for the GPU driver and ... suspend... and brightness and sound.
Counternarrative: I live a few blocks from a grocery store, with kid, and frankly, I don't mind it at all. Maybe kid does. But it's nice to be able to just walk there and not worry about parking, loading, etc. Looking to move to a place even, amusingly, closer to the grocery.

now, the kid might decide that he wants a huge SUV and to drive to the store every 1-2 weeks, that's going to be interesting. But for me, the parent, I like it.
I got an M1 Macbook Pro, and yeah, the processor is fast and cool and all that, but the most absolutely wonderful thing about it by far is that there's no touchbar!
Easier to just dump it at the bottom of the ocean. There aren't any significant technical problems to this, just political ones.
I’m a white guy who grew up in the PNW. My city is often described as the whitest major city in the country, but the high school I went to had the one of the highest percentages of black students in the district, it’s been quite a while now, but it was somewhere around 15-20%. I didn’t know anyone who was seethingly racist, but racist jokes were common. As I went through grades, I had fewer and fewer black students in on my classes. I was mostly taking advanced placement classes my junior and senior year, and it seemed like the biggest determinant of who was in the was taking those classes was social class rather than attitude or effort.

I wouldn’t say I was necessarily any more “woke” than any of my peers, a lot of the realizations I’ve had about that time came later as an adult.

Frowning up in a liberal environment with liberal values definitely made me predisposed to accepting the left position on these issues, but there was also some tangible things that really connected to me, like the fact that ruby bridges is still only 67 years old. The past really isn’t all that far away.
Review Investigation: Jo Boaler, Cathy Williams, and the Woke Math Scam
I agree with your comment, though I've found it's hard to defend statements like that, people can always pull out some headlines (that are easy to find, like ths guy telling you that all he had to do was google) and claim that makes you wrong and AI really is revolutionary.

It's been overhyped so much that it's very hard to convince non specialists that basically all the framing of AI they can find is hype. The best I can say is, show me a company that's actually making money off of a product that's based around one of these claims, that actually has the ML as a core differentiator.

No doubt people will still find headlines, but they'll be more scarce, and if you look into the commercial success of such companies, you'll find almost nothing.

Disclaimer, I run an AI company and am an AI bull. Misplaced hype helps charlatans and scammers
> x86 is dead, full of security issues

to be clear though: spectre/meltdown are not an x86 issue. POWER, SPARC, and indeed even ARM (although only some of their products have OoO/speculation) were affected as well. There is no magic to ARM that magically makes it secure if you don't protect against side-effecting.

I generally agree with the rest of your points, Microsoft is stuck in legacy hell with x86 and they are stuck with a customer base that specifically values that (everyone else has departed for linux or osx, they have "dead sea effect"ed themselves into a high-maintenance customer base), and they've done a super shitty job in general with 5 different generations of UX lava-layered over the top, and x86 is clearly falling behind in energy efficiency. But security isn't something intrinsic to ARM or x86, you can design a secure x86 processor and you can design an insecure ARM processor.
You couldn't just emulate the secure enclave?
Back in the day when laptops still came with a CD/DVD drive by default I had a customer with a broken MacBook that didn't power on at all, and some expensive disc was stuck in the drive.

Pretty much all disc drives that have been produced in the history of disc drives come with a little pinhole where you can stick in a paperclip to manually push the opening mechanism exactly for this kind of scenario, so you can recover your disc if your computer or drive fails.

Except Apple computers, of course, because such a useful piece of functionality would be ugly and an abomination unto Saint Jobs, or something. So I had to spend a few hours opening up that MacBook that very clearly wasn't designed with "opening up" in mind. I was lucky this machine wasn't in warranty and dead, so putting it back together wasn't really a concern.
I can't figure this one out either. The Air now has the same screen as the MBP 13", same processor, slimmer form factor. The air is also $100 cheaper than the MBP so that's not a justification. The only thing that is different on the specs page is the GPU count 10-cores versus 8. Why keep the 13?
