WTF? Walking is not exercising? Source please, that's a ludicrous statement with regards to most definitions of exercise, especially the medical context we were discussing.

Walking is the primary activity humans evolved to be able to do better than any other animal. Humans can outrun any other animal in races that last multiple days, by simply walking all day and resting at night and consistently covering more miles than any other animal, not even an elephant or horse or tiger can go as fast in the long run.

It sounds like you've internalized the local cultural concept in parts of the USA that "exercise is supposed to be unpleasant, no pain no gain" which is just disconnected from the reality that humans are meant to move.

Ask your doctor how you think going from doing nothing at all (typical american sedentaryism) to walking 3-4 miles (just one hour) a day every day will impact someone's health! Even just walking one mile a day (about 20min) will put you in much better health than doing nothing.

I am not advocating walking as the obsessive only exercise, but it's a perfect starter exercise for people like yourself and OP who think it's not exercise unless you hate it!

Example parameters for a specific key and the ability to preview the different translations based on those examples is something I wished for.

But since my translations are code, it basically means I would have to invoke a debugger on the full program, so that's a drawback.

On the other hand, since my translations are code I suppose I could just add something like a unit test or something.
bruh, razorpay supports processing international cards. its literally on their website.
And India will reciprocate by boycotting all those countries which try to do this.

But you are starting a new type of apartheid.
One thing to realize is that different companies have different level criteria, so a senior software engineer at one company doesn't mean a different company would consider you a senior software engineer. Same applies to staff software engineer, etc.

Another thing to realize is that tech companies, in my experience, are less interested in your title and more interested in the work you've done and what they perceive your potential to be.

This brings me to your question: "At what point do you think taking a step back in seniority is worth it?"
I think one key thing to consider is whether the step would expand your skillset, stretch you in new ways.
I assumed you were storing the streamed conversations. Maybe not!
I agree. If we give up more of our civil liberties, it's likely that we will be more safe. However, this runs contrary to the American ethos.
> So, I am trying to find a good alternative to reddit.

Look into subreddits that are on the bubble of being banned on Reddit or that have already been deleted. Most of them have some kind of backup plan for their inevitable cancelling. Some of those backup platforms are decent community forums with a reasonably sized user-base.

> Reddit used to be good, but it is clear that the admins and mods have ruined the website.

It seems to be next to impossible to retain the core values of communities that grow in size and achieve real popularity. Any social media that wants to avoid this phenomena needs some kind of system for accomplishing this. So far, arguably only 4chan has managed to stay more-or-less true to its original purpose after achieving real traffic and being around long enough to go through all of the Internet's changes.

> It would be nice to have some site where you can have meaningful discussions without openly being called the "N-word" (4chan) every other post

IMO, people misunderstand some of the culture there. 4chan's distinct style serves as a strategic defense mechanism to keep out Karens/Normies/NPCs who ruin forums wherever they go. People who are easily outraged by dumb casual comments are not the types of people who can handle a censorship-free community.

If you have a better system for keeping out people who can't handle co-existing with a diversity of ideas, please suggest it.
I think of it as a “pronoun.” It makes it into a “person,” or some kind of major deal, like we call localities (usually) by their single pronouns. Sometimes, “The” becomes part of the pronoun, like “The Netherlands,” or “The Bronx.”

Usually, though, we assign pronouns (I’m not an English major, though, so the proper term may be different).

Like, you can’t have “a brooklyn,” or “an amsterdam.”

They want to make it so we can’t have “an iPhone.”

Good luck with that…
The GPU is important.. afaik the keyboard and trackpad aren't working yet in Asahi Linux.

I don't expect Apple to support the Linux community. It feels like this is trending in one direction. It felt like things stopped being "favorable" to us when they stopped supporting OpenGL and made no effort with Vulkan. The touchbar and some wifi chipsets were poorly supported for years before M1 debuted.

What has been implemented in Asahi is impressive, but it's not ready to be a daily driver. I hope this becomes my mobile device of choice someday. I'd use MacOS for work-work, and I would choose Linux every time for fun-work. So tired of everything having telemetry and vendor lock-in and basic pieces of software moving to subscription models.

Apple laptops became the dev machines of choice because they embraced the OSS community in pretty big ways. Right now the water feels tepid.
It's not impossible but it will take time.
I personally think Lennart is a cool dude. I wonder where can a person like he go next, I hope it's not Microsoft
The overall price isn't bad still imo. Apple has always had goofy component upgrade pricing.
But that's exactly my point. It's a horrible situation to be in, but it reinforces that question isn't really about frameworks, it's about a person who is frustrated. Therefore, asking "will I have to... for the rest of my life" won't lead to any productive answers, I think.
So subtle, it flew over my head and is still flying off into the sunset. I genuinly thought it was just someone enjoying collecting rants. (Which, some rants are quite enjoyable to read.)
Long time DDG user here. I haven’t used Google for the last ten years. I typically use DDG for non long tail queries for simple queries like: ‘Is it slashdot.com or slashdot.org’. Or ‘Pasta recipes’.

For the 1% of queries where I need Google, they’re typically long tail queries and highly specific like SHA256 sums of software I downloaded, phone numbers, IP addresses, and obscure error messages I get during daily computing.

(Google is great for recon and OSINT)

If DDG yielded good results for those long tail queries I don’t even see a reason for using Google.
Exactly the difference between emacs and most of the software world is that for most of the software world your post would end at “The defaults are absolutely awful. The editor is pretty unusable.”
> It's not just inflation, the Euro has been getting crushed as decades of negligence by the ECB show up.

the stream of anti ECB drones is frankly ridiculous

the price has gone up in pounds as well.

Does the ECB controls them too?

Prices in Europe are taxes included, in US are before taxes.

In Europe you have to add VAT, not only sales taxes, which are much lower in US anyway.

Last but not least, custom duties are a thing.

I normally try to irritate pedants, that criticise everything, by finding more not less mistakes, such as lots of prepositions to end my sentences with.
Obviously it's not a single factor. The equation isn't `# of guns / X = # of mass shootings`. However, the equation is likely closer to `# of guns * complex social problems / X = # of mass shootings`
From some of the photos of the scene, that's... not gonna work on some of the victims.

I find it very hard to believe that Apple deliberately sabotaged a multi-billion dollar product line for ~5 years in order to (possibly?) boost sales when their incredibly risky and expensive investment into their own silicon came to market.

People have been shitting on MacBooks since they removed MagSafe and brought in the butterfly keyboard in 2016. The i9 Pros with massive thermal issues came out in 2018. That's a lot of money to lose due to everyone and their mother complaining about the decline in quality and poor value for money of your product.

I wouldn't ascribe to malice what can be more easily be ascribed to incompetence - Apple made questionable regarding the design of the MacBooks, and took the complaints to heart in time for release with their much improved chips.
Containers help tame complexity, but the container itself could be run without the docker runtime, using systemd-nspawn, or run as a regular systemd service using podman.

It seems less complex to manage a bunch of systemd services than one pile of systemd services that are managed and logged one way and bunch of docker services that are managed and logged another way.
> Contemporary mystery authors too often feel the need to create the illusion of depth by having alcoholic protagonists with messy personal lives

I agree with you. Messy personal lives and often sex scenes or gore that add nothing to the story. I find it off-putting and disturbing (not necessarily morally disturbing, more as noise or feeling disconnected from the author: I don't get why are you telling me this, am I missing the point, should I be enjoying this?) and find myself retreating to old classics like Poirot, Father Brown, Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes again and again
The point, which you seem so dedicated to avoiding, is that "in the cloud" these steps are not my problem. Inspecting a literal shipload of computers for subtle defects is a pain in the ass. Amazon does it for me. When I get on an airplane I do not personally have to run the checklists. The airline does it for me.
The problem with this approach is that a vague "because terrorism" can justify a heavy handed approach to a very large set of policies which have nothing to do with terrorism. And "because terrorism", "because covid", "because child abuse" become convenient tools for the government to force this or that policy on its citizens. It is a lot easier to claim "because terrorism" than to argue a policy on merits and respond to counter arguments.

The upstream question is harder to answer, though: if the majority of the governed support this approach, is it democracy in action or an autocratic overreach?
Exactly, you get many of the benefits of separate boxes without some of the added complexity. Docker and containers in general can reduce complexity significantly in a lot of cases.
Check out Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This is a proven method for many "hard to treat" psychological issues especially emotional issues from serial suicidal attempts patients and BPD, to depression (not so much on anxiety). This method combine mindfulness and you can have a real understanding of what "being at right now" truly means, and how to do it, from meditation to application on daily life. I recommend this to you because there has been thousands of clinical use and data, and it has a more comprehensive directions on how to do it, you will get the best result if you want to try mindfulness.

It’s true it’s context dependent. E.g. the mother may only have 1 day of life remaining for other reasons, in which case saving the child might be preferred.

+1 for LineageOS and the overall freedom of custom ROMs. I'm developing my personal SOE and workflow for replacement phones, and any newly purchased device must be LineageOS compatible.

My daughter is in line for her first phone soon, and so she's going to be introduced to the SOE at least as her base Android experience.
That might well be part of it, but I think there's a more potent factor at play: not recognizing other people as people. Increasingly, we each see others as enemies, demons, or at best means to an end. It doesn't matter whether the "end" is a political point, some other kind of point, scoring some fame/karma, or working out something more personal. The impulse is the same. To shooters it's still just shooting meat puppets, not people. The obvious political leanings of most mass shooters merely reflect who has more guns or access to guns, not who has dissociated more.

> When I'm told to learn to use it "the Apple way" what I understand is, "shut up and get used to it, you have no saying in how your machine or you should work".

Well yeah that is kind of the philosophy - a single simple way to do things. Cutting down on customisation makes the system more stable and I think allows them to innovate more quickly. Don't confuse it with lack of power - it's a fully certified UNIX unlike most Linux distributions.

They do have incredible support for accessibility, so they do accommodate people who genuinely need things to work differently, not just a preference.

What they're not keen on is adding knobs and bells and whistles for the sake of it, as it's clutter.
I wish this was explored more deeply. I used to think that social media was just another facet of the old media, but I am slowly changing my mind on this. There is a vast difference between how FB, Linkedin or other social media operates and interacts with its audience when compared to print, radio or TV.

Look at HN. We discuss various events the same way ( process-wise anyway ) as people on FB discuss stuff. It is very interactive and we did not seem to develop appropriate firewall rules for social media yet ( as in, just because TV shows a guy running on water, doesn't mean its possible ). For some reason, we take informal social media utterance with more gravity than official White House statement.

I think you are really onto something.
> but it would definitely be harder for them to do so

You think that once we get rid of half a billion guns in America somehow (lol) the criminals won't be able to get them anymore. How do you explain continued criminal access to guns in very restricted parts of the world, like Europe or Australia? If your solution has leaks like that, it's not a solution.
If legality is supposed to be based on morals (not sure how many people agree with this?) then wouldn't basing morals on the law be a circular reference?
In addition they made the battery smaller despite the CPU not really getting any more efficient so it got less battery life unless literally all you were doing was watching iTunes movies.

Yes. Alas, we humans ( including myself ) are quite good at not feeling responsible if the issue isn't staring us in the face

> there are many control circuits and a large number of registers associated with each ALU. Therefore the real percentage of area occupied by multipliers must be many times less than this.

Might be true, but I don’t see how that follows necessarily, if every DP multiplier costs as much as 64 logic or add operations, right? Even in single precision, multipliers are much larger than other units. Multiplying by 4 only amplifies that and makes the ratio bigger.

> Under this assumption, removing all support for DP would save about 16% of the area

You lost me there- if we’re talking about a fixed number of multipliers reduced from double to single precision, and the double multipliers are 32% of the area, then because double is 4x the area, as you pointed out, the savings would be 24% not 16%, right? In other words, a 32% area for N double precision multipliers would take only 8% area for N single precision multipliers, no?

> the real savings must be much less

Could be true, but I’m not convinced yet, I don’t find this compelling. DP registers are double the size. If you want the same cache hit rates, the cache needs to be double the size. The buses are 2x, all of the math is at least 2x, and multiplies are 4x. GPUs are devoted to math, and double precision takes twice the memory and twice the bandwidth to maintain the same number of ops throughput, so it’s not clear why the area assumption shouldn’t start north of 2x - double as a baseline and a bit higher due to multipliers.

> I remember very clearly […] a very different company […] they will provide great computing power for the masses.

I’m curious now what you imagined happening back then. Is double precision your only or primary hang up? What does providing great computing power to the masses mean to you? The AMD 6800xt and Nvidia 3080 both are an insane amount of compute for an insanely cheap price compared to what was available in 2010.

BTW how certain are you about needing double precision? Are you deep in error analysis and certain of your requirements, do you know where single precision breaks down in your work? Some people do, I don’t doubt you could be one of them, just curious.
The Wire doesn’t need to cover them because mainstream media channels are already blasting them on primetime everyday.

Honestly I don't think we even need to go that far; police should just use the laws that they already have at their disposal. Look at this shooting in Highland Park, here we have a guy who was known to police to be a danger to society to the point where his weapons were stripped in the past. How the hell does this guy pass a background check? Did no one do basic due diligence? Did no one use OSINT to find this guy's social media pages where he was advocating for violence? It seems like the vast majority of shootings feature people who were historically very problematic and yet they were able to pass bg checks. Why is this happening?
The dude is burnt out, give him a break.

Also, from my own observations, in Europe "hipster" doesn't have a negative connotation, meaning simply "cool person"

Part of the reason I left software is because everybody expects this obnoxious puppy-dog personality out of developers. The grumpy old bastards just want to be left alone to stew
They said they are in Iran. There are restrictions which prevent them from working with several countries. So they are left with what their local market dictates.

>I wonder why it wasn't viable.

Because for the most part, people making content would rather earn money for their content than not earn money. The silos of TikTok and Instagram and YouTube allow for sufficiently low transaction costs such that this market of advertisers interested in buying attention and content creators interested in buying money can exist.

Maybe stumbleupon was too early, but the fact that the app ecosystem makes it much more difficult to copy content makes the silos much more appealing to both content creators and advertisers.
The source you quoted is questionable.

Not surprising for The Verge but they make giant leaps to go from "Carrier-installed adware" to:

> Apple has echoed this idea, talking about how it sees a more feature-rich lock screen as a way to help you use your phone less.

Yes, because those are totally the same thing /s

You would have to be brain dead to think that Apple would ever ship a phone with ads like this on the lockscreen by default. Apple is opening up some APIs to allow apps to provide widgets (aka complications) for the lockscreen and more customizability but to just to "But, by opening up this space, these companies are offering apps and advertisers a chance to get even closer to you." is just bad reporting and silly.

I mean sure, the user might be install shitty apps that show ads but that would be 100% up to the user and not something pre-bundled to increase longtail revenue for Apple.

Wow, that is the kind of story you’d expect to see on SNL.
Beyond just the storage constraints, there are performance concerns with the 256GB model [1]. At least with the 13" M2 MBP Apple has switched to using 256GB SSD NAND chips which means that anything less than 512GB has only a single channel of flash to read and write from. It's unclear if the new Air will have this same constraint but it's something to consider.
