After nearly slamming my mind-bogglingly slow, gimped, company owned Dell Precision 5530 against the wall today, I've decided I want to work for a company that values my time and developer experience and provides a M2 machine. Working with sub-par hardware is really starting to take its toll. I briefly tested out a M1 MBP and was incredibly impressed. I've been planning on replacing my personal 2018 MBP with one of these newer M2 (or better) machines when hacky solutions aren't required in order to drive multiple displays

Agglomeration effects. Those postal workers could certainly afford homes elsewhere, but the economic value of having lots of tech workers together in the same place is higher than the marginal (in the economic sense!) postal worker living here.
Others have said all the basic plusses and minuses so I won't repeat them. The big things about my M1 Air have been the really good battery life, but on the other hand I hate the mac keyboard layout. It's a very good option if you prefer small and light laptop that doesn't run out of battery even in a heavy use.
I think the past few years of watching the rule of law degrade in both the public and private world in the US means we shouldn’t take any possibly off the table that relies on the system working correctly
I’m not sure what real problem self driving cars are supposed to solve aside from some people aren’t able to drive. Some might say that self driving cars would be safer than human driven cars, but that fails to account for the fact that any safety improvements from self driving cars can be built into active safety features in regular cars.
Yikes. I'd recommend talking with and listening to some real people, especially women, to get a sense of how out of touch the views you espouse here are. Calling widespread outrage over bodily autonomy a temper tantrum and the consequences of removing a decades-old right to abortion FUD is scary stuff.

I recently did a project using Dyalog APL. I really wanted to love it.

On the pro side, the community was great and I loved the language, but only to a point. There are way too many instances of utter astonishment at behaviors that seemed to be just how the language works. I had a lot of trouble finding good, mature libraries for things I’ve taken for granted in other languages.

I’ve found that Julia provides 98% of the Array Programming value in a modern “batteries included” package.

AKA the Lou Pai option, which is an extremely funny (and almost certainly untrue) theory that Pai deliberately got caught by his wife with a stripper so that he would be "forced" to liquidate his Enron stock which he allegedly already knew would soon be worthless without having to explain the timing of that to a court later.
Did that happen to Hannson? The most recent instance I’ve heard of was Ramirez and FastAPI.
Wow, that's incredibly rude. I've never experienced something like that outside of Canada before.

It isn't. That was the GP either misunderstanding or, perhaps more probably, making a pun. The usage here is this sense of the word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_%28textbook%29

(Then again, maybe your comment was just a way of saying "ISWYDT!" to the GP?)
I used this project recently and it is fabulous.
right, either you (1) value privacy and don't believe readers are ethical, or (2) you think a loss of some freedom to curb criminal activity is permissible.

The way the title uses "danger" frames criminal activity as a good thing as long as it's an activity you agree with. It should instead be a general call for privacy protections, not a selective call.
This is pretty close to the most common counter-argument I've seen to the "this is another 2000s housing bubble" claim - the bubble burst when people had to sell or got foreclosed on, people taking out the mortgages today, or purchasing in cash, appear to be in much better financial shape to weather things and not have to sell.

You'll still have sales - some people will die, some people will have to move for various reason, etc - but how much it will fall seems like a very hard to predict question.
The principles may not be although I think it's a strong argument against the already silly concept of originalism
No, you should get the business going first. You can improve infrastructure later.

E.g. start with a VPS. With most offerings, they are pretty reliable. If you need, make a failover cluster of two to make updates with very short downtime easier. You can add load-balancing and downtime-less updates capability later as it will make the whole system quite a bit more complex in most cases that are somewhat interesting.

Of course, if you just have a static website or something more or less state-less, doing the right thing from the get go is way easier. I have more interesting, stateful applications in mind here.
My Rogers plan is $90 for 65 GB of data, it is unnecessary (average use for me is 4 GB/month), but better than going over or throttled. When I was supporting an MPLS Rogers fibre connection, we had zero downtime in 2.5 years.
SpaceX started a LEO system as ambitious as SpaceX for its time back in 2013. again, GEO to LEO is not LEO to LEO, and is also not moon to earth. there are no successful examples of 20+Gbps between LEO satellites. The million details is why SpaceX has yet to turn them on for production.
Those are...ELITE. How hard is it to understand that word?
I'm curious what it is you're actually trying to say.
I’ve realized that the only reason I desired a touch screen on windows notebooks was because windows trackpads are so awful. Even on high end $3,000+ machines.

The Mac trackpads are so responsive that they feel every bit as good as having a touch screen.
"Linux would join Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook in usage of Rust as a disciplinary tool."
It doesn't contradict that. The paper looks at the national housing market, which ignores individual market dynamics. Supply constraints still exist, but they don't explain the national increase in housing prices over the last 18 months.
It's fine. I still prefer my personal Linux setup compared to Mac OS which I use for my employer, but I haven't really had many M1 specific issues - though I first got my M1 Pro MBP earlier this year. I do see for some of the packages I use that aarch64 builds are surprisingly recent though, so I could see someone who used it 6 months before I did having a worse experience.
Mostly just this:

> I DO expect that short-haul public transportation would suffer a significant decline in ridership, as it would be outcompeted by driverless cars.

My contention here is “outcompeted.” Ultimately, this is a policy decision —- at least in the United States. In regions where there is both existing rail and highways, there might be good conditions for a competitive market to exist between the two. But, that competition will also rely on energy pricing and EV availability, as well as policy decisions. As you mentioned, density is a huge factor. However, there’s not sufficient evidence that self-driving cars can solve the congestion that comes with low-density.

In short, there’s far too many factors to make a big prediction about the fate of either at large.

In general, my contention is with those who tout self-driving as a transformative technology that will turn our congested highways into high-speed infra, and all with a higher degree of safety than existing cars. We don’t know any of that.

We do know that short-haul public transportation can work very well.

I have a M1 Macbook Pro. I’m sure it’s a great computer but as soon as I look at the screen a few moments my eyes hurt. I can work with my Macbook Air for hours with no problem. I read all the comments here and no one mentions a problem with the screen. There must be something wrong with mine.
To be fair, gitlab is designed for enterprise-scale deployments not a homelab or even a small team. It's like deploying an openstack cluster when you just need a few VMs.

I'm on the tools team of a mid-size company and gitlab works very well for our 200ish developers. The only real pain point for us is the difficulty of upgrading combined with the high tempo release cadence.
I use OCRmyPDF to scan comic book PDFs en masse so they’re searchable, which makes keeping up with tons of characters more doable

I admit I made the transition a few years ago. I converted the remainder of my services into containers and haven't "run" linux as a workstation operating system since switching and it's been over a year since I had a linux VM running as well. I have found every tool I used in linux to be the same or better on mac products.

For personal use, my only workstation is a iPad Pro with a keyboard and mouse.
I could but it would probably starve him of the context of people disagreeing with me
Ask HN: How to Do This in Git
Suppose I'm writing a tutorial and as a simple example there's only one source file. Incremental changes will be made to this file step by step along the way. So far I this have commit history: commit1-commit2-commit3-...-commit100-(Head)

commit1:

This is step1

commit2:

This is step1
This is step3

commit3:

This is step1
This is step3
This is step3

..

Commit100:

I wish to be able to tell readers to go to commitX for source file of stepX.

Now obviously in commit2 there's a typo and it's inherited by commit3 and so on. What's the best way to achieve my goal, is it a natural thing for git to do?
You mean, like, actually respect the 4th Amendment?

Absolutely amazing. QEMU since version 7.0 has much better support for working on MacOS M1/M2, nowadays Podman (I prefer it over Docker) works fine as well. Sadly, GDB in Homebrew still wasn't ported to the ARM just yet, I have to use LLDB every time. Compared to Linux though, containerization is still problematic.
are you saying it is 100% impossible that there really is way more than 5% of daily active users being bots? unless you have some information here, it seems like a fairly big claim to make? if elon musk thinks 20% is bots, that is a very different thing than <=5%, would you not agree?

The conservatives who oppose abortion generally also oppose premarital sex. So women threatening less premarital sex doesn't sound like a downside to them.
> "Worst part of Linux is the death by a thousand paper cuts."

Funny you should say this, because it's exactly that feeling that drove me away from Windows. For many years I tolerated Windows because "It's what everyone uses", but eventually there came a point where the "paper cuts" just added up to where I could no longer tolerate it. The annoyances and frustrations were bad enough that if I did not have Linux to fall back on, I would literally have given up computer work entirely.
I ditched docker for rancher desktop and haven't needed to go back yet for any reason, plus I have k3s natively now as well.
Once you experience a computer that is absolutely silent, it’s really hard to go back to a normal laptop. My windows notebook spins it’s fan constantly and it drives me crazy. I have to put the machine to sleep and unplug the charger just to shut the damn thing up when I’m not using it

It's hard when your customers are requiring you to do mutually exclusive things. First, reduce fuel consumption by significant amounts, which requires changes to aerodynamics or engines (this is just physics). Second, don't make any major changes, because major changes would be too expensive for customers to implement and make the whole project not feasible.

There's no "honest engineering" that will solve the problem. This is exactly what regulators are for, because there are huge incentives for the executives on both the airline side and the Boeing side to make a deal here... everyone saves money and takes home huge bonuses.
The preference for real names in email clients is actually quite annoying. E.g., some of my clients are using institutional email addresses, which are used and processed by multiple real-person users with associated clear names. Every time, I mail to one of these addresses (not addressing anyone in particular, but rather to whom these may concern, which is the expressed purpose of these addresses), I've to go back to the address and to discard the auto-filled, nonsensical clear name (which may be the person using that address, I received mail from last). In some email clients, this may involve multiple steps, as they really want to show a clear name and a clear name only.
Smart experienced developers use the least complex tool to solve a problem. And monoliths are inherently less complex than microservices. So it’s quite simple really.

Unfortunately “beginner experts” tends to pick the most complex tool possible to solve a problem, because they think it somehow demonstrate how skilled/smart they are. Which always amuses the more experienced developers. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion :)

I am looking forward to reading the future “we picked microservices because we thought we were clever and it turned into a cluster f*” stories.
rails is fine as long as it stays small and within a container

no monolithic design or throw turds on a wall to see what sticks

fact is K.I.S.S and everything will be fine

rails will just mean it the container will be as bloated as python containers

don't and I mean it don't post deploy load rails... always compile
Automation will put more money into the pockets of people who own the companies, IP and capital. Everyone else did not get much from it for a while and got more and more burden of education to work in that automated workplaces shifted on them.

> Motorola was also a design powerhouse back then

Was it though?

The 6800 was overcomplex and over-expensive as a result. The competition ate it in pretty much all markets. The nmos chips were either dramatically cheaper like the 6502, or dramatically more powerful, like the Z80. Some of that was a victim of the design era, right on the cusp of moving to depletion mode, but some of that was design. And other PMOS designs outcompeted it right up, like the Intel and even the F8.

The 6809 was a joke. Sure it was more powerful than the 6800, but it was going up against things like the 8086 and Z8000 which were far more powerful. And the price/performance was absolutely horrible.

The 68000 was a success, but it's difficult to ascribe that to positive aspects of the design. Like the 6800 it was overdesigned, spending a full 3rd of its gate count on microcode. And then there's the separate data and address registers... urg. I think it's safe to say it was a success to no small degree because of NatSemi's failure, everyone that compared the 68k to the 32k preferred the later. And while it certainly held an edge over the 8088/8086, that edge was only significant until the 386, after which it was all downhill.

Which brings us to the 88000. This design was so overdesigned the company seriously considered just dropping it and building someone else's design (can't recall, Alpha/PRISM perhaps?). The only reason they continued was Data General had a freak-out because they based their entire AViiON line on it. And once it became clear they were going nowhere, Motorola dropped it and went to IBM instead, and DG went Intel.

So over a two decade period with four separate designs, they only really had one outright success. This does not say "powerhouse" to me. Yes, I'm aware there are lots of reasons one design is successful and the next isn't, but it's hard to point to any of their designs and see anything particularly impressive in design or price/performance terms. The 68k was in the right place at the right time, and deserved to be picked up for that reason, but that was short lived.

What does "come clean" mean? They are standing behind their existing filings. There is no evidence that they are wrong other than Elon claiming he can't verify it.
How do you figure? I and most of Asia (except China and the Koreas) don't think much of old, dead, buried Japanese war criminals. Sure, they came to our country and massacred our people - but they only did it for 4 years and left. The western Colonial regimes lasted for centuries.

And Abe was very supportive of Asian alliances and economic partnerships, unlike many other LDP politicians.
It is possible, and it could be extremely effective, but not straight way.

1. exists concept of linear city, and exists few implementations, most known:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volgograd

2. In linear city, possible to create just one line of train, and station every mile, and all other transport muscular, or something like pneumatic-mail and open conveyors.

In some cases, could be effective to make rectangular network of train lines.

Sure, for old cities with lot of legacy, only train transport in many cases impractical, because usually their logistic network is not linear and even not rectangular.
And train largest problem, is large radius of turn.

Currently in most large cities exists underground train or light city train, in different countries named tube, metro, underground.
I think you are redefining scalability here. Tight development/ deployment cycle is just that, it is not scalability. Availability of the service shouldn't be dependent on how fast you can deliver new versions of the application.
You know exactly what "it" is.
I've switched to using an iPad pro for all of my productivity and media consumption needs. With stage manager and an external monitor, it's going to become a very capable workstation, as it already is for me.

Email campaigns from companies are a mess. Even the company I work for sends official emails out from addresses at numerous 3rd party domains each using different mail servers. They often go out with verbiage nearly identical to what I see in phishing emails. They've contained links that point to URL shorteners or some other random 3rd party site that we don't own with URLs full of unintelligible tracking info.

I deal with phishing issues almost every day. Most of the time phishing emails are pretty obvious, but I've had customers ask me if an email claiming to come from the company I work for was legitimate and even after looking over the message and the headers I couldn't give a clear answer. I've had several talks with marketing about it, and I've managed to catch a few horrific communications before they went out, but they aren't willing to stop sending from or linking to third parties.
I'm currently in upstate NY, and I am moving because of my state government. My immediate family all moved to Europe. I want to be left alone and enjoy life with people I like. New York is no longer compatible with that goal.

Recently, it became a felony to own a bulletproof vest in NY. My (middle-class) neighborhood has gunshots on my street regularly during the summer. That's absurd, and I'm not sticking around to find out how much worse it gets.
