> I have not heard, and cannot find, any rumors about Apple shipping a Linux emulator. Links?

It was even on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31644990 , https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/06/macos-ventura-will-e...

> macOS drives hardware sales. Apple makes money on hardware sales.

Not as clear specially when the money they make from macOS hardware sales is actually less than what they make from services or iOS hardware sales.

The era when we had an open computing standards Apple that tried to interoperate with others is long gone. This is the era of the captive Apple who is trying to bind you into their ecosystem, and I won't believe the "0%" argument any more than I believe it for MS.
A household of 4 also drives at least twice as much as a single person. 2%.

If you’re spending your limited time and effort on 2% measures we’ve all already lost.
The content that Frazer teaches should be standard, flat out. The competition style of math has so many more practical applications than the shit they call common core in the state of Florida.

Now, we did all of Geometry and Algebra II (Frazer's competition courses, not just regular courses) in a year. When students are excited about learning, and you make it fun, you can really throw a lot of material at them.

But any part of Frazer's "system" outside of the content I think pretty irrelevant for regular teaching, like him using class time to teach competition material. That's just how math class is for every other kid. 8 hours a day for a month over the summer learning and teaching math? Hard to organize that without having a team, among other things.
I do not have any insider knowledge but all the short videos I have seen on airlines buying these would be to shuttle people to and from the airport. They suggested business class folks would use these. Basically fly straight from your office to the airport. Another use case was going from the city to a ski resort and bypass the traffic.

I was applying more into the future than the current situation, in case Apple would start giving better support.

Currently yes, Apple is the worst vendor.

> rather, the conclusion here would be that vendors should drop their game altogether since no one cares. People, even Linux users and developers apparently, buy the hardware anyway even if the vendor just totally ignores Linux (at best).

That's exactly the idea I was chasing - if Apple would care, then other vendors should care as well.
But currently, Linux users are still in minority and it does not matter that much yet.
Maybe RAM will finally get more than a 4mm thermal pad and a random bit of Alu for cooling. Seems like most cooling designs have treated RAM as even more of an after thought than VRMs up until recently.

Even in most servers the accommodation for RAM cooling has basically just been orientating the DIMMs to line up with airflow. They are still packed together with minimal clearance.
Article mostly covers payment methods used in CIS (Russia, etc).

Stripe isn't available in those countries.
The elevated temperatures of the overheating components are such that fluid flow, not temperature difference, is the thing to go after, and it also has the advantage of being much simpler than adding a whole refrigeration cycle.

These problems start to read like problems from nuclear power, where sufficiently uniform flow is a huge deal so that various materials aren't compromised in the reactor.
I didn't know Facebook was protecting documents under NDA.

Can you provide references?
Question that comes to mind - Is M2 (with thermal issue on new Air) affected considering how RAM is packed there?
Stripe doesn't operate in Russia.
Condensation in most environments gets really rough on computers.

In theory you can eliminate condensation.

But in practice, there's a difference between theory and practice.
Doesn’t feel like it to me. I eat 2000-2500cal/day and try to maintain 3500-4500cal burn(1hr lifting, 1hr peloton bike, 1.5hr hike daily). I keep my cardio around 140-145bpm so pretty leisurely. Increasing intensity just made me hungrier. It’s a lot of time taken out of my day but it shows results fast and I’m never hungry. A cheat day is a 500cal deficit and a normal day is 750-1250cal deficit.

I know everyone has their weight loss strategy but this is by far the least mentally taxing method I’ve used. It helps to stay motivated when you see results every other day as well.
CISA Urges Patch of Exploited Windows 11 Bug by Aug. 2
Yes I can relate to a T - every line and every point. The pay is fine but I can't bare it anymore. I have been contemplating to switching my career and doing something else for a while but being in a developing country, with a family depending upon you - it is hard. I was plotting an escape plan as well but sometimes it feels as if I am late for other plans.
The Catholic equivalent of this joke is that a Dominican, a Franciscan, and a Jesuit are told that a Mercedes has been donated to them on the condition that they say a Novena for the good will of Vatican II. The Dominican says "What's Vatican II?" The Franciscan says "What's a Mercedes?" And the Jesuit says "What's a Novena?"
As others have said - absolutely, yes. Responsibility has very little to do with it, it's all about wanting the best outcome for them. And that should apply to both your children and your friends.
I use Day 1 and talk into it, listen back and reflect
Who cares about the majority of content as long as you can still find what you want? Expecting the majority of anything that can make money to be "passion driven" is naive at best.
I prefer this sort of programming system.

Mostly these days I do 3D modeling, so I'm using a Blockly version of OpenSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/

but I'd really like to see a nice, stand-alone desktop development environment like to Scratch which isn't encumbered by a sandbox and which is able to write and append to local files and which is easily installed and which runs reliably.

Crashed and burned on pyFlow, Ryven, GraphSCAD, and a bunch of others.

Currently hoping that Nodezator (a node programming system based on pygame) will pan out --- it just needs branches and loops for my purposes:

http://nodezator.com

In the meanwhile, I'm copying OpenSCAD code out of BlockSCAD and pasting it into RapCAD:

You pay the first month, but after that it just gets denied. Every subscription I've seen handles it. Don't use it for a service that charges after usage.
why not integrate the ram into the package like apple does anyway and use a slightly larger SoC Cooling solution for the chips? Or just attach headspreaders to ram modules (like gaming modules) and add a fan for them like servers already do due to their general front to back airflow design. The only thing you can't do anymore is relying on the passive cooling of the chips own surface, something CPUs can't do anymore since the early 90s
Please point them out. All the UUVs/AUVs I've found are either tethered to a buoy or completely autonomous and only transmit when the surface. In all practicality there is no completely untethered ROV on the market. Acoustic controlled UUVs are still line of sight.
Its going to be fun when people dissect this era of tech.

Like Uber - $33B in investor cash. $0 in operational profit.

The promise was always scale. Yet, now that it’s time to show profits, Uber has had to pull back from markets and reduce its scale.
Nicely done. I love simple apps like this. Bonus points for local data.
It can't even be said about the academic side of computing.

Programming books aren't academics; they are about the entirely arbitrary and ever-changing conventions of some stuff that is made up of pure information, which someone pulled out of thin air.

An actual computer science text from 1990 can be very useful; so could a book about electronics from 1990, or mechanical engineering.

A programmming book from 1990 is like the repair manual or schematics for some appliance from 1990. Except in the case of the appliance from 1990, at least it was similar to many others: a repair manual for another make and model could actually be useful. We have to imagine a world in which two refrigerators have absolutely nothing in common; the parts look completely different, are hooked up differently and have different names.
I used to play on that kind of thing in my childhood. A child can (and probably at some point will) fall down, but usually not from the highest point, but rather while climbing. Also, there's sand underneath, so the landing is somewhat softened. That said, it's still easy to seriously hurt oneself on that, but I was aware of that as a child and acted accordingly.
hey.com -- it's not a client but it's a service that has the feature you want.
That doesn’t seem to have worked out for Uber. Doubt it can work out for anyone else
I glad you liked it. The transformation employed is used in application of Halstead metric [1] to various programming languages.

[1] https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.106...

APL/K and concatenative languages are not there, but Haskell is. What is fascinating is that Haskell wins by large margin because it uses implicit "apply" operation in place of space between expressions' parts. Something similar can be the case of APL and Joy/Forth as well.

It appears to me that APL/K construct operations using implicit operations' stack. In case of Haskell, there would be an (infix) operation to perform something like that, much like what is discussed with the "implicit apply" in the paper above. In case of Joy, there is a stack of stacks (or list of lists).
This is anecdotal "in my day" knee-jerk stuff... I've seen new playgrounds go up in my city and they've got monkey bars, swings, and merry-go-rounds with nets that kids can climb on.

AFAIK Kompan is the most popular playground equipment company around, and you can see all sorts of the stuff you list in their catalog: https://www.kompan.us
> Fittingly, now that the politicians are paying attention, their immediate instinct is to just blindly ape the structure that he's built

Entirely typical of school reform efforts. Study or (more often) a book built around a study or two comes out, hype builds, consultants latch on, dumb-shit school admins get ahold of it (and use it as an excuse for a free trip or two to some BS conferences, for them and maybe a favored teacher or two), and then try to implement it without understanding it. They usually make two major mistakes:

1) Assuming the study's results will generalize to any school, disregarding even caveats or limitations called out in the very reference work that's the foundation of the reform.

2) Ditching parts they're uncomfortable with, failing to appreciate that implementing 80% of something may not even achieve 20% of the desired effect. They do this even when it's super fucking obvious to anyone with a bit of common sense that the parts they're ignoring are key. They're especially bad about this with discipline systems, but it also frequently happens with other kinds of programs.

Then they do this again every 2-4 years. For a given kind of system (English instruction, math instruction, discipline, all kinds of things). Result: schools are constantly flailing around, with shit changing for no good reason almost every single year.
They operate at 100s of bits per second not fast enough to transmit live video so your back to line of sight.
Sidetracking a bit: does anybody know what tool was used to generate the table diagrams?
It sounds like the architecture is different to what I understood. I'll read up more on your system, it sounds very interesting!
You are interpreting the quote as being about intergenerational change whereas I interpret the quote as multigenerational, societal change.

I wouldn't expect Rome to bounce back in a generation.
I just finished one of the books cited in this article: The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development. Strongly recommend it. Huge focus on the economics of product development.
Cool idea. Include an about page somewhere. Where do you pull the questions from?

Also a random idea is that you allow people to save their entry directly into a git repo, which feels a bit safer than browser storage. I think there's a way to do that from the web.
They've almost entirely eliminated fast food play areas in the Northeast, but I was surprised to see them everywhere in Lexington KY. I wonder why.
Roughly 100 transactions per month I would say. On average 2 card based transactions per day --> 60 transactions per month. Then bills, incidentals and direct debits make up the remaining 40.
Still no crossfade support though, unfortunately.

Over 50s effect of vaccination on hospitalization. If it is protecting older people against hospitalization then we can expect it to protect younger people from severe effects too. Unless you think the over 50s are some sort of frog vs the younger tadpole.

Plenty more everywhere.

So why would some of us be so vehemently anti-vax?

1) Belief in 'natural'. This has been a common marketing ploy since 'green' became a thing if not before. Of course the world we actually live in is entirely artificial - just as well as our 'natural' lives were nasty, brutish, and short.

2) Attempting to assert 'independence' or 'agency'. Again another marketing ploy, really we have very little agency or independence - however it is useful to make us believe we do and we should exercise it with our credit cards.

3) Attempting to be contrarian or a 'free thinker' in order to impress (ourselves? others?). Much much more humility is required before starting down that path.

4) Ideological/political propaganda/pressure from our peers. Belief systems have a tendency to become pathological when contained within a tightly delimited group. Probably this is a very great danger to our social discourse at present - though whether worse than before is unclear.
Potemkin Argument Part I: Scott Alexander caricatured work of honest scientists
I wonder how long before wearables that actively cool you become a thing i.e. a top that you put on and acts as a heat pump to take the heat away from you.

In winter I wear a heated top often rather than switch the heater on and the wife has a heated blanket. Seems like a much more efficient way of keeping warm / cool than changing the room temp.
Can confirm they started our as an intern, I had to fix the internal tools that broke.

The main issue was that at this point in time, we were relying on people’s Unix names to directly to setup the person’s dev box. Obviously, <unixname>.dev.facebook.com with the unixname of www was going to lead to issues. It just broke things internally and was fixed pretty quickly.
I guess it works as long as optimizations are disabled? Because any mildly optimized code shouldn't match it@s input as linearily as shown on the pictures.

That’s entirely possible, but then they shouldn’t explain their fix as: “You might have done something wrong during the upgrade process, please try again and if it starts downloading it should be fixed after.”

That’s just trying to hide the root cause.
A college professor for "Theater Appreciation" class stressed that "the only reason to become an actor, is if you feel you can't live your life doing anything else". It's such a saturated field, you need a super good reason to enter it as a career.
The title of the article has nothing to do with its content. It is bunch of quotes from talking heads who have idea what they are talking about ... ending the piece with the plea for developed world banks financing 'sustainable' and 'renewable' developments in the developing world.

[What are 'we' to sustain? Who decides on the roles? At which level? over which time period? what is exactly mean by renewable? There are non-renewables that are sustainable and renewables that are non-sustainable]

Why are we fed this kind of empty vapor of an article under such a hyperbolic and meaningless headline?

Not sure why this is being downvoted - it's true.

You're not going to get a centerfire rifle to be "Hollywood quiet", no matter what you do. You can get a .22 rimfire rifle or pistol down to the level that it sounds like an airgun.

... but it sounds like an airgun because it has about the same energy as an airgun.
...until the day he gets injured, bike stolen, etc etc etc - and these jobs are also unsustainable because they're not saving enough for retirement, i.e. when your body is no longer able to compete with younger bodies.
Long term plans do work.

The Marshall Plan worked.

The James Webb Space Telescope took two and a half decades of effort, but the plan worked.

I could list a thousand plans that worked.

Now, why do we, as software developers, not think plans work? Because they're less well suited to our domain and the reason for that is that our domain is incredibly complicated, changes frequently, AND it's incredibly maneuverable.

What this means is that its more efficient to rely on this inherent maneuverability and build fast feedback loops to code our way towards a vague goal than it is to start planning for something 20 years away.

Is someone really going to game out whether webhooks or HTTP long polling are going to fit 2042's software landscape better? No. It doesn't matter. There will be transports for data. There will be instruction sets. The abstractions will change and morph over time, but it's not fruitful to ponder the explosion of possibilities. It's enough to pick a direction and step on the gas and figure out the rest as you go.
Just “Ukraine”, no “The” necessary or desired before it.
Slightly off topic: I was recently in Iceland and the country is covered in Alaskan lupine that was introduced decades ago and has now become invasive. The result is these blue tinged landscapes. According to the tour guide, there is some benefit as the Alaskan lupine improves the soil (I don't know how true this actually is).
The playground nearest my home is brand new and has a merry go round, swings, and metal monkey bars.

And I live in Canada, which modern political discourse has decried as a communist dictatorship.

If anything, there has been a shift away from the overly-kiddy playgrounds of the late '90s/early-'00s into playgrounds that allow kids to embrace their desire for mayhem. Heights may still be disappointingly low, but otherwise there's plenty of tools for kids to spin themselves sick. One of the larger playgrounds in my city has a gigantic teeter totter that support a dozen kids crammed onto the platforms on each side, which is AFAIK a new invention. It also sports a pump track for adventurous kids on bikes.
> Class issues are often reframed as race issues to disrupt collective action.

How does reframing class issues as race issues disrupt collective action? Race issues lead to protests like Black Lives Matter, for example.
Same here. KMyMoney's UI conveniences were significantly better than Gnucash when I switched over a decade ago.

(Also somewhat switched to ledger, but I still use KMyMoney for data entry and then run a script to convert the KMyMoney XML to Ledger).
Here in India, these startups are running into a problem with lack of labor.

No one wants to do these gig jobs. The only people who do them are people who have no other option.

It was great during the pandemic when everything was shut. But now that factories and offices are open again, people are opting for actual full time jobs.

The labor model fails if the local economy is doing well.
Lots of people just don't like (or aren't that great at) reading, unfortunately.

You bear a burden, you bare your soul.

I would love the good old days back too. I think now it's only vestiges left in some niche shops. Definitely not faang of course, small shops and that doesn't mean startups. Problem is those kinds of solid productive non-parasite business model, staff treated like humans shops nowadays just get sold by the retiring owner to one of the suck holes.

Maybe it will come back around after a while, after enough people suffer long enough for some of them to become the new bosses here & there and try to run their shops with at least a little dignity.
True, but with the Steam Deck it was obvious why Valve did that -- they weren't doing it to be nice to Linux users (although they've benefited) but because they wanted to use Linux (and avoid the Microsoft tax) on their consoles. There's no benefit to them for improving Mac gaming. In fact, the Mac Steam experience has been getting worse as many games (including many of Valve's own) only have 32-bit ports to the Mac which do not run on current versions of MacOS.
Sounds accurate, but this is not what the CEO was suggesting. He's also now suggesting that they can't replicate it on their own devices.
Strictly speaking, no. When I blog, it is more for me than anyone else. The tech field is a mess at the moment anyway since it has become politcized.
What would be useful is the definition of abstractions, breaking long chains of combinators and functions into manageable pieces, instead of playing one-liner code golf. Meaningful function names rather than superfluous parameter names.

For example (adapted from Wikipedia and untested):

arrayaverage =: +/ % #
arrayaverage 1 2 3

i.e. defining the average as the ratio (%) between the sum (+/) and the cardinality (#) of an array, with the advantage of being able to replace this function with a better version that doesn't fail miserably for an empty array.

This article is garbage. It conflates the subjective mental experience with whatever is happening inside the meninges mechanistically. And the article's opening shot:

No matter how hard they try, brain scientists and cognitive psychologists will never find a copy of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony in the brain – or copies of words, pictures, grammatical rules or any other kinds of environmental stimuli

has been proven categorically false because we HAVE found such things.

Sorry, Robert, Your Brain Is A Computer.
As many others have said: YT these days is mostly entertainment, and, yes, driven by money.
There's the few goldmines in their niche topics, but you're not going to have much luck finding them. In particular, I personally find maker-related content to be of pretty good quality, if you follow the right channels.

For some topics, it's the best medium to stay on top of things, e.g. downhill mountain biking, you have the racers' own channels/vlogs, plus the smallish outlets putting out a ton of content during the racing season, plus the official RedBull stuff... There's just no other way to enjoy the sport to this extent.

And, of course, it's an endless library of howtos and tutorials, BUT it's also full of crap. So you have to somewhat know what you're doing in the first place, then find a howto for that very specific thing you need to do, e.g. I know my way around a car, mechanically, but I'd still search for a howto video on changing the accessory drive belt in my particular car, because there's probably an easier way that somebody already documented, and I don't want to spend 1h on what could be a 10m job.
This sounds like a moral concern? Lazy people who want a burger should be required to walk down and get it themselves? I mean, it's not like this is some kind of new thing, where people with money choose to pay other people to do some unpleasant bit of work they themselves don't want to do.
