Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" – 2010

Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" – 2012

Now it is only a name I guess only people in US / California will know or understand. The same joke From Apple's "crack marketing team" and played out by Craig Federighi for something like 10 years[1].

But I guess that is post Steve Jobs's Apple for you.

If so, that's very likely the reason for this.

Eating less meat is not "more moral" it's just what you want people to do.

It's always the same thing, when a post is about the environment the vegans come in and start telling everyone to stop eating meat to save the planet.

But somehow I don't see vegans ever telling people to drive less, walk more, wash their clothes by hand, not throw out electronic devices just to get new ones etc etc, it's just eating meat that you want them to stop doing. Yet, the cause of climate change, and its main driver, is burning fossil fuels, not farming. 3/4s of carbon emissions come from burning fossil fuels for enegry production in sectors other than agriculture:

https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector#sector-by-sec...

But when vegans are concerned about the environment it's always eating less meat they tell others to do, not burn less fossil fuels. Why? Why is it more urgent to stop 1/4 of the damage to the environment that 3/4s?

It's not more urgent, it's just your ideology that says it's more important to eat less meat than stop climate change.

I wish that HN had clear guidelines against trying to prosyletise people into somebody's political, or metaphysical beliefs.

It is actually possible to install non-chrome browsers on ChromeOS either through the App store or just via the console.

But I totally understand your point and the options I've listed aren't either user friendly or straight up require you to be able to use a console.

To the contrary, I highly doubt that they don't use it, privacy risks be damned. Using that data is their primary business model after all.
I think there are two types of startups and it depends what you are actually doing:

- Startup that has product market fit (or is really close), and is ready to scale: choose boring tech that works

- Startup that is a playground, exploring or building new tech, and may never make money.

You can join either as an employee/cofounder/leader, and have a great time, but if you mistake one for the other, you will have a bad time.
Not entirely sure if this was meant as satire, but in case it wasn't: If I wanted to be judged on my physical looks or the quality in which those are presented to others over the wire, I would have been working in the film industry.
Some comments here imply that it goes well beyond that (indeed drawing font characters in non-VGA text mode shows this), but I think this difference holds -- no GUI widgets or operations in kernel mode, whereas Windows had this since NT.

Certainly I always found it scandalous that MS did that GUI stuff in the kernel, even if the NT desktop was unusually smooth as a result. Remember this was at a time when MS was positioning NT as a server OS as well, a server OS with desktop GUI crap in the kernel.

Ah hell, I'm still disgusted by it.
To be clear, I'm not claiming you can't do these things on native AWS, but rather there are wide choice of high-quality projects ready to go that target k8s.

Mh, I wonder what article author think for webcam use cases... Personally I consider them useless 99% of the time in the sense that there is no need for video. When a video is needed 480p is enough, eventual dropped frames or artifacts does not matter much. If we really need hi resolution it's beyond webcam, something about YT, TV, ... not webcams anyway. If we need to share paper docs (LIM alike) it's better scan them before.
Book of Proof by Hammok is a gentle introduction. As others have said you will likely have to go back further , in which case Kahn Academy has great vidoes, and MIT has OpenCourseWare which is great when you figure out the names of the things you are missing, and 3blue1brown has incredible videos on a lots of topics.

It will take time so go at your own pace and enjoy yourself!
Hence "... or bundle everything". But what difference does it make from the security perspective? If the app ships its own copy of the DLL, it still needs to do security updates for it - the OS won't.

As far as the OS offering more - it's true, but not to the extent you describe. For example, Windows does offer UI (Win32), but most apps use a third-party toolkit on top of that. Windows does offer MSXML, but it's so dated you'd be hard-pressed to find anything written in the past decade that uses it. And so on, and so forth. I just went and did a search for Qt*.DLL in my Program Files, and it looks like there's a dozen apps that bundle it, including even Microsoft's own OneDrive (which has a full set including QML!).

Even with .NET, the most recent version bundled with Windows is .NET Framework 4.8, which is already legacy by this point - if you want .NET 5+, the standard approach is to package it with your app.

And then there's Electron, which is probably the most popular framework for new desktop apps on any platform including Windows - and it is, of course, bundled.

"Some application code and maybe a few proprietary DLLs" is how things were back in 00s, but it hasn't been true for a while now.

No, you're not doing anything wrong. In fact, you're giving users choice to use the fonts that they want, if they customize their fonts in their web browser. However, this choice comes at the cost of potentially ugly default fonts out of the box. Courier New, Times New Roman, Arial, for example. Of course, this is completely subjective.

Use `font-family: sans-serif` for your everything on your website except code blocks and inline code elements, which should use `font-family: monospace, monospace`. Yeah, you have to specify `monospace` twice. If you don't, monospace fonts will be unnaturally smaller than sans-serif fonts.

Please don't use serif fonts on your website, ever. Most people on the planet don't have a high resolution display and serif fonts look chipped and broken on those displays. Serif fonts make sense if you're using them inside a media query for print.
I'm not sure if it isn't blocked now, but I remember m.uber being blocked for Russian users a couple years ago. My phone died and I had to change trains in a couple dozen minutes in the middle of the night, so this wasn't a very pleasant experience :')
As a super sport rider who has never been on the track, I am curious as well.
i'm really tired of seeing every single year the same shit told by people that don't know anything about crypto, every single year it goes down and people say "the ponzi died", after a few months it goes back again and after a year it happens again, but people that still don't know anything about how crypto works still try to talk about them like they've been studying them for years.

This doesn't actually work if you've shotgunned the bloat uniformly across your system.

My personal experience was trying to find a 10% performance degradation that turned out to be a worthless branch in memory allocation that ended up being inlined prolifically throughout the codebase. It didn't show up in any profile, and if the group I was with wasn't ruthlessly disciplined in maintaining performance, such that it's effects were felt immediately, I strongly doubt it could have been reversed after the fact without serendipitous re-discovery.

I don't like this, It seems like bad management with subtle insecurity. imo it would be better to show the employee how to go about solving the problem themselves so that they can do it and feel confident in their own abilities, as opposed to just doing it for them
I heard riding up-hill is more challenging but it's still better than not riding at all. I'll probably have to ride 300-400 km to a more bike-centric place to find a shop that sells recumbents but there's no other option. These types of bikes are expensive though.
I can see a connection between them, sure.

But it's not the same problem as the one in your link, and you came in here being very dismissive to say it's "known about for _years_".

And then when someone points out it's not the same problem you imply they're on the verge of breaking their computer? Ridiculous.

What a curious take. They just need to put bigger cameras in the laptop. There is like 100x more space for such things.
> Not using fonts is not always an option

The silliness of this is that someone is going through the effort to set up hosting for a website but hosting the fonts is just too difficult and has to be delegated to a third party. The laziness of webdevs never fails to astound.
Looking from the outside, it sure does look like every security patch is assessed on its difficulty to port to older OSes, its severity, and its reach.

It sounds like you just don't include performance in your acceptance criteria. You're using a lot of words to basically say that you don't care about performance.

I don't find it acceptable to merge something that I know could be 10X faster with a bit more work. Part of my acceptance criteria is "has reasonable performance".

Performance optimization is contentious because everyone has to draw the line somewhere. You can sink an almost unlimited amount of time making a complex program faster. But I've seen so many devs just ignore it altogether, where half a day of work literally makes the thing they made 10x faster.

And other "gold" hidden in this article.

The premise is also ridiculous. Everything went amazing for 6 months, then the pandemic hit, people worked from home, and suddenly couldn't google anymore? Or does the author have a linear scale in mind, where the longer the project goes, the more understanding it requires?

> They usually cannot write code from scratch

True

> I do think Google has caused some of this.

I think it a lot of it is the frameworks and people constantly trying to shortcut the method of building something with code. We have so many frameworks, tools, plugins and other stuff that it makes it easier NOT to learn anything deeply any more. Pick a JS Framework and I'll give you a dozen plugins or tools that have already been built to write your code for you. All you, as a developer have to do is string them together.

By building all of these shortcuts, no one really needs to learn Angular, you have their site as a reference and tons of material to help you. Developers actually learn in the absence of knowledge where they have to sit down and learn it without knowing there is a crutch or fallback if they get stuck. I think today's developers just get as far as they can and then start googling for a solution because they know that someone has already built a date picker in ten different languages, thousands times already. Why go back and reinvent the wheel when you don't have to?

Because it creates lazy developers.

An entirely other issue is why learn some framework inside and out if its going to be obsolete in a few years? Remember when everybody loved Backbone and Express? You tell someone in the Dev community today you use either of those and you'll get laughed right out of the bar.

I think its just a lot of things that work against developers learning more than then they really need in any given situation.
A few jobs ago the IT Manager put out feelers to the engineering team asking if any of us knew anyone interested in a junior IT Admin role.

I knew someone looking for work at the time and asked for a link to the job description so I could forward it along.

In the description included the phrase “without Googling” for a majority of tasks. It’s not as if the role was especially demanding or contained a ridiculous amount of esoteric knowledge; it was the equivalent of a help desk position. I can’t imagine ever doing help desk, much less ever again (fuck that stress) or for someone who thinks it’s a role where you will never need to Google anything.

I pointed this out to my friend with a frown on my face, but left it up to him if he wanted to apply. He read the job description and said “yeah no. That boss sounds miserable to work with”. My interactions with that manager were quite minimal, but judging but the attrition we noticed on the help desk team, I think he was right.
You know what's vastly worse than a co-worker whose camera has a sub-optimal image quality? A co-worker who's constantly struggling to get their overkill setup to behave, wasting everyone's time while they fix the mix on their audio or switch cameras because their mirrorless camera turned itself off from thermal overload yet again.
Yeah, because that would definitely be new! There are already a TON of low-effort children's book, I'm not sure if DALL-E generated ones would be a improvement or not, I've definitely seen many that are worse than this.
good audio is better than good video, I don’t care if you look like a potato, I just need clear low-latency audio

Read correctly; I said extraordinary claims failed V. But the other reading doesn't seem to paint a pretty picture anyway. Every point made in the original article is a reasonable expectation by outsiders, and many of them are still unsatisfactory ("failed claims" if you like).

What you should do now is to decide what to do with those points instead of arguing. If the decision is WONTFIX (okay to do, not everything can be made into the language) then the advertisement should be updated (ProTip: you should really have done this years ago). If the decision is to do something with that then the advertisement should be still updated, hopefully with a link to the tracking issue. If you are already doing something about that then you still should have a link to the tracking issue. If the point is "misleading", then you should write out clearly why it's misleading, how the author could have concluded in that way (i.e. assume no malice and debug instead), and how to verify your updated claim. With no strings attached.

Honestly though these points have been iterated and reiterated years ago. I had a hope that you have learned (hard) from that past experience; my hope seems not justified.
Kubernetes tends to bring in networking, storage, a whole host of Linux kernel features. All of those alone are tripping hazards before rolling them into one piece of software.
The problem is that rural and suburban living is heavily subsidized in relation to urban living, which has economies of scale. This doesn't even factor in things like per-capita pollution. If people who would "rather" live a certain way actually paid their fair share (i.e. for negative externalities) it'd be a different story.
It's quite simple to understand. An individual has a much greater control over their diet and activity than they do over the multifaceted forces that have lead to the current food situation in the West.
Years ago I ran a service with multiple charge points, and had 2 PayPal accounts. When the payment was under... ~$5, I'd use the micropayment account, and fallback to the 'regular' account for prices over that. I realized I was in some violation of terms with PP, but was never caught. I wasn't doing quite enough transactions to probably hit their radar, and my chargebacks were non-existent, so I was probably lucky.
The distinction between these 2 types of programmers predates Google by quite a bit. I worked in user research at Microsoft in their developer division in the lat 1990s and early 2000s, and we were well aware of the difference between "systematic", "pragmatic", and "opportunistic" programmers, and ensured that we had tools and offerings for each. The opportunistic programmers were most numerous, and preferred to copy and paste their way to success.
If you're messing with IPMI consoles, try to get Serial over LAN (SoL) to work. Sometimes it's a bit fussy to get started, but once you do, it's much more pleasant than a remote video console, if you're looking at a text console anyway. The negative is you don't get any scrollback, unless you have an always on console server. If you can get the settings right, most boards with IPMI can also show the BIOS screens on the serial port too; but I've had some servers where I couldn't get that set to matching parameters with the boot loader/OS, so parts of booting would be silent; oh well.

That might be reading too much into it. IIRC, hasn't gaming been referring to any kind of computer opponents as "AI" since at least the '80s? I'd almost call the games industry usage of AI as its own independent (albeit related) jargon at this point; games "AI" may use ML, NN, and other AI techniques but isn't required to.
I'm mildly surprised this is allowed by browsers, but I can't think of an easy way to prevent it, either.

(That said, were I the tool author, once I found any hit, I would then scan the whole /24 that the hit was in. But then I'd be here being more than mildly surprised.)

It is indeed a weird list[1].
