I have the M1 studio.

It's much, much better than the 2017 MBP it replaced, which I quite frankly hated using. Build times are so much faster. The vast majority of stuff does just work, and most of the time I can forget I'm using an ARM device.

However, it is not all sunshine and rainbows. It stutters hard when you push it: If I build, say, a large iOS app, it might be 5 times faster than before, but I can't do much while it is building because everything else can almost freeze up.

Additionally, it's not a perfectly backwards compatible system. Just this afternoon I had to locally debug a rails app, and a few of the gems just wouldn't compile. I find myself frequently having problems where it turns out to be an M1 thing, and the workarounds obviously waste time.

Also, I didn't pay for the device and would never have spent what is twice as much for the same performance (not to mention poorly designed hardware, see my other rants), and had I not needed a mac for iOS development, I wouldn't have got one. I don't find the mac a better development environment these days with WSL.
it could be something that was bad, but there are maintainence cycles, and they cant always wait for a threshold drop in logins to go off line maintain and connect again.

Really cool map!

Based on the map, another way to put it, is:

Another bad UI/ux problem is advertising standards.

I had to go help my 70yo neighbour deal with Microsoft scammers after she clicked the "continue" button for her time scheduling form:
https://ibb.co/CKCbRpf

Guess where the actual continue button is?

Computers are hell for normal people. There needs to be some sort of standards both on the appearance of ads ("can't look like the flow of a page, must be ""clearly"" an ad") and the positioning of ads (must be in margins, can't use absolute positioning).

After clicking this, it takes you to a Microsoft security product page looking website, forces itself to full screen, robotic voice blaring " your computer is insecure, please step away from computer" and a pop-up telling you what number to call to sort it out.

She came knocking on my door with the Microsoft tech support on the phone. Thankfully she had problems with the run prompt, and wanted me to help. I just hung up, closed the site. And installed an ad blocker.

And then people out there who support ads on the internet as they are right now
> My friends and I decided to stop going to large events. How sad is that?

Up to your risk tolerance. I would recommend that if the gun risk from large events is too much for you that you might also want to refrain from driving.
>> Build trains...on every single road in existence?

Yes. That's effectively what cities had at the turn of the last century. And then they ripped up all the tracks or paved them over.

They recently did a full depth reconstruction on a street in my neighborhood in Somerville, Massachusetts which entailed digging up the old streetcar rails, ties, and brick substrate from under the pavement.
True. And for unimaginable long term costs.

Compiz was never gone
License plate readers were an issue long before RvW was overturned. And what everyone seems to be ignoring is that the Democrats control the Presidency and both houses of Congress. Passing a reasonable bill, one that would garner bipartisan support, would be relatively easy. But remember, both parties value the issue, and the money and votes it garners, far more than solving the issue.
Huh. Wonder what kinds of forces drive the pluralization (or lack thereof) of nouns in English dialects? Your comment reminded me of another one that sounds odd to my American ears: "maths," as in "Tommy's always been very sharp at maths."
Oh super interesting! This goes onto the reading list.
What's the track record for huge companies successfully fixing major problems with their internal quality / engineering cultures?

My impression is that usually or always the company just ends slowly dying instead. I'm thinking of IBM, and maybe Intel, GE, Boeing.

It's not the mafia - he'll be the person known for building a trillion dollar car company out of pure speculation, and damn near delivering on that speculation.
This. Always check the app directly, never rely on email, SMS, of phone calls.

Though sadly, on some (most? all?) platforms, even that isn’t a guarantee, as some forms of payment can be rescinded. Or, the notice is communicated as “received” when it’s really more like “requested and processing” (much like banks crediting you for a deposited check, even though it takes weeks for a check to fully clear).
Can imperfect men create something greater than themselves? Yes.

Is the US an imperfect implementation of those principles? Yes.

Does that invalidate those principles? No.

Has the US done a pretty good job of implementing those principles? Yes.

Ah okay, this helps a bit. Not in Canada so I wasn't aware. Thanks for clarifying.
The "undown" or "unvote" link that appears tells you which one you hit. I appreciate how little space they take up. If you're doing it with touch just zoom in.
Sounds like Boeing is blackmailing FAA here - "Approve 737 Max 10 before the deadline for EICAS kicks in, or we wouldn't be able to get it approved under those new safety rules for a long time (and what is bad for Boeing is bad for the country)"
> Amazon was allowing a counterfeit Kindle edition of Classic Computer Science Problems in Python to pose as legitimate on my own book's page!

Amazon tries to "unify" pages for products that are "the same", which ends up being a disaster.

A while ago I found that the page for Husain Haddawy's translation of the Arabian Nights was linked to a "Kindle version" of an entirely different work (also an edition of the "Arabian Nights", but there's a lot of room for variation in e.g. what's included, to say nothing of the translator). After some very annoying searching, I discovered that this was true even though Amazon was already selling a Kindle version of the Husain Haddawy translation. Getting this fixed didn't require emailing Jeff Bezos - a conversation with frontline customer support on the website did the job.

But the same problem exists all over Amazon. Try following the link to the "Kindle version" of any edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and you will discover a random, unrelated edition. If you follow the link back to a physical copy, you'll find a third edition. Read the reviews for any movie or TV show and you will see that they combine reviews of every DVD, Blu-ray, streaming, and probably VHS release.
Is there a reason you don't just use https://rancherdesktop.io/
First off, Google already tries to do show quality and the clearly mark the ads so you can skip them and go to non-ads

Second, even a search engine that doesn't take ads does not know that the content it's scanning aren't ads. So you'll still see the ads, it will just be more hidden. 9 out of 10 product review sites are all effectively paid ads AFAICT.

Third, when I search for a product I want to know what's available. Companies tell you what's available via ads. Maybe it's because I'm old but before the internet we all used to buy and subscribe to magazines. We did it not just for the articles but also for the ads, to see what was available. BYTE (https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine) , Compute! (https://archive.org/details/compute-magazine), Creative Computing (https://archive.org/details/creativecomputing), Wired (https://archive.org/details/eu_Wired-1995-12_OCR), PC Magazine (https://archive.org/details/pc_magazine). They were all full of ads and we bought them partly for the ads. Same with gaming magazines.

I don't have a problem with ads, I only have a problem with tracking. Showing an add based on my immediate search or based on the content of the page the ad is one doesn't bother me. (although intrusive ads do bother me)

Lobste.rs. It's much more focused on tech/programming and the discussions there (although very few comments) often lead me to discovering new things.

Although that part of it also sucks a bit because you can't comment if you're not an invited member (which I'm not).

Many of the articles are found on HN first, but some are easier to see there because the front-page doesn't change as much as HN.
What are actual major technological innovations coming from China as opposed to making stuff invented in the West cheaper? They would have sent Steve Jobs to a reeducation camp before he had any impact. Sure there are smart people everywhere, but by and large they can only realize their potential by coming to a free country. Military driven pursuits like space race are about the only exception when totalitarian states allow individual creativity out of necessity. Civilian applications like climate studies, GPS and satellite phone/TV are all Western and SpaceX runs circles around government programs.
This isn't going to be just Lenovo. Microsoft requires that the certificate in question is not part of the Secure Boot database for any device meeting/utilising the "Device Guard" functionality.

And as others have said, as long as you can enroll your own keys this isn't really a bad thing. It improves security by default for the default OS shipped with the device. You have to go away from the defaults to use Linux anyways, so one more toggle isn't going to kill anyone.
Its already illegal if its foreign physical goods that are being imported (https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/brochure-eng.html ). I guess they could extend that.
I'm not sure why this has to do with network engineers in Redmond. SpaceX doesn't control the rest of the internet, and they don't have enough POPs (and won't) to hit the latency elon promised. there's a reason why fiber internet is 30ms ping and not 15-20ms.

At the time? The Revolution-era US was none of the things that the linked article quotes as examples of exceptional greatness. It was a relative backwater, facing internal and external security threats and struggling to get a national government working.
Because I'm completely naive, it literally did not occur to me that this was illegal

So I'm probably ignorant, but the 787? I've seen it as a great aircraft that has moved the bar significantly... there have been some issues, but I'm surprised that you wouldn't even consider it a successful program?
I lived out of an 8gb M1 Air for a year or so - it was great, but I should’ve gone with 16gb. Now I’m on a 32gb M1 Pro and concur with you that this feels like a sweet spot. Docker, Parallels, multiple browser windows, Slack, Blender, Unreal Engine … all at the same time. You just don’t have to think about manually managing your memory pressure.
When did you sell? Perhaps look into tooth (teeth?) futures ;)
Even if viasat's consumer service was handing out high quality steel 1.8 meter elliptical offset ku band dishes with norsat PLL LNBs and 8W BUCs to consumers, the path loss and modulations required would mean that a given section of contended (let's say, 10MHz of a transponder) service to many terminals would still have significantly lower speeds and greater oversubscription to be economically viable compared to what end users see right now on starlink.
That sentence is unintelligible.
The DoI indeed does not have the force of law in the US. But its principles were foundational to the country.

BTW, the Constitution was amended to outlaw slavery. That counts.
Yep. I use Facebook to sell things. Mostly by necessity - Craigslist seems to have dropped way off in popularity while also increased in amount of scam/spam. But, I use local groups. Might take a bit longer to sell, but cash in hand, no shipping shenanigans, etc. One benefit of living near a city vs a smaller town, I guess.
> The "good guy with a gun" theory is that having everyone armed will prevent violence because the murderers will fear lethal punishment. Evidence shows this to be false.

the numbers also back this up: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/06/22/us/shootings-...

also, historically in the (wild) western us in the 1800s, lots of people had guns, didn't stop the violence, in fact it was just a way of life until things got cleaned up with actual policing etc
Agree 100%, this was what kept me away from a Mac, and why I was happy to let go the old MBP. I've been at it for months now but still hate the scaling and window management. I believe there's some third party tools that handle this and it's time to look into them.

The build times for a M1 are so fast that it's still a requirement for me though. The battery life for a MBP is amazing - it's almost a whole work day even on full compiling. So it's not really a choice.
To my knowledge Steam/Valve is in the business of selling games, not monetizing my personal info by selling it to third parties.
The term human resources means that the department manages resources for humans not resources which are humans.

This is my perspective too. Whenever I find myself having to use Windows (which these days is just for games with Windows-only anti-cheat), the annoyances feel so much more pronounced.
Author here (sorry for the late response, I didn't see this got posted to HN).

These are all valid concerns (especially about spontaneous diploidization), but I think they can be overcome with sufficiently rigorous quality control (probably whole genome sequencing, not just genotyping).

The issues with epistasis (i.e. will polygenic scores continue to be valid at extreme values) are also worth noting. I think that improved models (besides the linear ones in current use) are likely to solve this though.

The hard part is actually doing the meiosis.
Check out the comment thread, hilarious!

Everyone I’ve been introduced to from Miami claims to be some permutation of stripper, real estate agent, DJ, and/or crypto investor. Seems like some wild shit going on down there.

I’m as pro-nuclear as they come, but this is simply not true. No people die from radiation from coal.
I would like to have a MBP that just used Windows as an operating system, not in a VM.
That worked well for websites…

Look at this thread, you'll find enough of his fan calling this a victory because it will expose how corrupt Twitter is or whatever. Reason, common sense and the frigging obvious don't have a grip in their minds.
The authentic HN experience.
The housing developer seems to be a purely supply-side economist.

The argument that ever lowering interest rates lead to "affordable" homes is not evident in any real world data that I've looked at. Evidence points to the contrary.

Houses are always priced at what people can afford to pay for them. The median price of a house is directly linked to size of the mortgage a couple working for median wage can be cleared to loan by a bank.

5% mortgage rate? For a $200k home that's $10k per annum to cover the interest.
2% mortgage rate? That $200k home is now $500k. The devious detail here is that the time to pay off the loan changes completely.
The $200k home can be paid off in 25 years with $670/mo plus interest.
The $500k home? 62.5 years with $670/mo plus interest.

It gets even better - assume the 5% mortgage rate equals 5% inflation rate.
In a high inflation, high interest rate environment, the $200k home is devalued by 5% per annum. Assuming wages keep up with inflation, the $670/mo payment is smaller and smaller piece of the total income.

A couple earning $100k together per year spend $18k or 18% of their (pre-tax) income on their $200k home during the first year. If their income stays the same but is corrected for inflation, 25 years later their income will be $338k in inflated dollars but their mortgage payments will be $18k / $338k = 5.3% ! Eaten by inflation!

Compare this to a scenario where another couple buys a $500k home in a low interest rate, low mortgage rate environment. During the first year, their payment is equal to the other couple. After 25 years of 2% inflation/interest rates/mortgage rates assume their wages keep up with inflation as well. The couple's combined income will be $164k in inflated dollars. The mortgage payment will be 10.9% of their total income.

The "2%" couple pays over twice as much as share of their income as the "5%" couple after 25 years and the "2%" couple is expected to keep paying the loan down 2.5x longer (62.5 years vs 25 years).

This is basic high school math with nothing fancier than exponentials, so I'll leave the equations as an exercise to the reader.
If so, was that a problem, or was it one of the best things that ever happened? Did history become more or less accurate thereafter?
You can stick with something for the wrong reasons just as well as you can shun something for the wrong reasons.

Is Java hard to use? I don't think so.
Is PHP messy? Before the restructuring that happened from PHP 7, not so much. In fact, it's pretty good now.

Are Ruby and RoR easy to use and well structured? They can be, if you are careful and stay on the well beaten path.

As always, for small applications, RoR is a breeze to use.
But once you leave toy land, the heavy amount of helpful magic comes around to kill you.
Oh you thought you were calling this function with that name in that file over there? Nope, magic code loading decided to pass your call to that implementation instead. (a.k.a. monkey patching is evil)
Let's not talk about dependency management and the constant shuffles due to abandoned gems.
Let's not talk about nasty upgrades from one major release of Rails to another.

But of course, I am being mean. The truth is that we, developers, make a mess of anything and when it becomes unbearable, we blame the tool and move on to another tool that grew from the ashes of other tools we abandoned previously.

And hence, things like Laravel are born and grow out of the lessons learned with RoR (among others).

As for Java, my Lord, the archeology of web frameworks based on it makes the archeology of life on earth seems simplistic. I survived servlets, JSPs, Spring, JSF, Struts, GWT, yada, yada, yada, generations of attempts at getting it right, growing on the putrefied corpses of failed attempts at not getting wrong.

I think it's progress at work, but sometimes it looks like a pendulum.
Drop an email in your HN profile, I'm sure someone will send you an invite.

>They are standing behind their existing filings.

My understanding is they have historically said bots are around 5% of users on their earnings calls, are you saying that they are still sticking by that number? I don't think anybody believes that number including Twitter, hence the potential liability. I'm not a lawyer or a Twitter shareholder though so it's not something I care enough about to debate I suppose.
I know several other people that experience what I experienced.
Why not use a free function? That is more flexible. Go isn’t Java, it is not a deadly sin to write free functions.

You look at something like the Reader and Writer interfaces and there are very few methods. The Go approach is to put more functionality in free functions such as fmt.Fprintf which allows more code reuse across multiple types.

In fact I view the heavy Java use of methods as an anti-pattern.

Isn't this a simplified version of what Rockefeller did with the oil market more than a hundred years ago? Drive out competition by financing any extra costs with profits from the markets where there's no competition.

Such behavior spawned lots of laws designed to prevent it from happening again. And, just like the telecoms extort huge subscriptions from their clients using extreme product bundling, politicians engaged in ideology and law bundling to get voters to flock to them attracted by some laws, enabling them to enact (or in this case, repel) the laws preventing them from going back to 19th century capitalist practices.
Normal VPSes and other relevant offerings are pretty cheap these days if you don't consider one of the big three clouds. They will cover most use cases and loads just fine for a long time also and there are practically no autoscaling issues, budget overruns etc.
You could of course show some concrete examples from you experience. In my experience, you save the most time and money when you work with a solution that is less dynamic and more general purpose, like a VPS instead of specific scalable services without fixed price. Also, it is quite easy to switch providers with a VPS. With specific scalable services less so.
The latency promised is obviously for the satellite segment, any DIA end user with a clue knows that terrestrial fiber latency to and from various places will vary based on where you are and how your local ISP is linked to nearby ix points and peers.

I can tell you what the latency is on fiber from the Redmond or North bend Earth stations to downtown seattle, and it's minuscule. Same as if a person was a customer on a docsis3 or GPON network in Redmond.
This is the earliest report of terrestrial plutonium predating the Holocene:

Nature volume 234, pages 132–134 (1971)

"Detection of Plutonium-244 in Nature"

Mass spectrometric measurements of plutonium isolated from Precambrian bastnasite confirm the presence of 244Pu in nature. Although the existence of 244Pu as an extinct radioactivity has been postulated to explain the xenon isotope ratios observed in meteorites, this is the first indication of its present existence in nature.

Plutonium 244 of course has a much longer half life (80 million years) than the isotopes analyzed in these sediments.
