Exactly, and it's clear that cultural exchange has already been quite strong in the European->Indigenous American direction, so it's interesting to see what we could learn in the other direction.

The article isn't helping itself with some its quasi-historical editorializations, though. "Indigenous Americans knew how to avoid starvation. Colonists were too hungry to notice" isn't exactly a balanced view of the history.

> stepping out until the probe has gone enough distance to be sampling a separate bit of surface.

Why not have a probe already at that distance, so it's gathering something of that surface?

My assumption here (knowing very little of gravitational lensing) is that the gravitational lens still has the concept of an "image surface", where a translation in that image surfaces can be mapped to some translation in the projection of the thing being viewed. Are you saying that if I put two probes up, with some appropriate spacing between, they can't collect different stripes of the same surface, at the same time?

The Achilles heel of Vancouver was the insane liquor licensing, which lead to the moniker of "No Fun City". That's what you get when your city is founded by a bunch of Scottish Calvinists.

But otherwise, I have great memories of my early 20s seeing bands at the Niagara Hotel and hanging out three nights a week at the Ivanhoe while paying $500 a month for a decent studio in the West End. Commercial Drive was in full swing as a sort of '90s Haight-Ashbury. Now all those places are gone and the city feels sleek and generic, like a cut-rate Hong Kong.

If you install into the root hierarchy then you must use the one that your OS is using. Creating such a package for your application can be a nuisance but it really is not rocket science.

You can only use language specific packager managers like npm and pip3 if you install into a specific sub directory outside of OS file hierarchy conventions.

Terrible headline - Biden can be criticised for many things but surely not on the sanctions policy.

He has already done an amazing job persuading European nations to get on board with the hugely damaging (to Europe, as well to Russia) sanctions - and unless there is an alternative supply of oil and gas (Iran already sanctioned, Venezuela already sanctioned) there is nothing much that can be done. Unless the answer is simply to switch off European manufacturing? Which would be result in political upheaval all over Europe, and the likely rise of Putin-like nationalists who would be more accommodationist to Russia. Biden is doing all he can

Thanks for sharing your story as well. I mentioned my version of this in a sibling comment, and seem to have experienced some aspects of both experiences, but it took longer for me to snap.

Recovery has been gradual, and I have much work to do, but one thing that I’ve found really helpful is directly examining what it means to be conscious. “Waking up” by Sam Harris was the start of a rabbit hole for me.

This exploration gave me tools to reframe certain experiences as “the contents of consciousness” and helped me start to step outside outside of myself for the first time in my life.

It’s no silver bullet, and YMMV, but I’ve found it incredibly helpful.

Due to spherical geometry, Prince Rupert is closer to Asia than any other reasonable North American port (sorry, Skagway) south of Anchorage. Kitsault is just up the inlet, and much easier to reach (crossing the Coast Mountains sunk Prince Rupert). It also happens to be easier (lower) to cross the Rockies (CA-16) when you're north of Prince George, so Kitsault could possibly have better access to Chicago than does, say, Seattle (I'm not certain here).

However, the col to access Kitsault from the BC central valley is still about half a mile high, so you would need to build a tunnel to get decent rail freight capacity. It would be a short one, easier than tunneling to Stewart/Hyder. Also, the inlet is only about 1800 feet wide, which could be difficult to navigate considering the high frequency of inclement weather in the area.

APIs are simply a property of any system you want a program to interact with. The confusion comes from the synecdoche of referring to web applications that are only interacted with via their API as APIs.

The more interesting one is frameworks and libraries. There's a gradient between them based, IMO, on how opinionated they are. Working with a framework means filling in the blanks, e.g. "When we recieve an http request to this endpoint, this application code should run" in contrast to a library which is just a barrel of functions to call. But that's a fuzzy line.
> My point is that I didn't get the most important new iPad OS features on my new-ish iPad. Apple simply didn't implement those features in a way that makes them work on relatively recent devices

Like I said already:

- there was no magical way to make this feature work on your "newish iPad".

- You can even test it yourself: open Safari, open a few productivity apps, and watch the cold starts come flying.

- Stage Manager is not the most important feature, being on the newest development target is since if you're not most updated apps will not support your device in 12 months

> I'm talking about OS features only, and I'm disregarding regular apps that just happen to get distributed along with the OS for business reasons.

So you're arbitrarily deciding which OS features count, cool... you're free to do that... but that's the definition of a strawman.

Apple's approach to an OS places more value on built in apps, so you see a ton of app based features, that use OS level APIs that don't exist until a new OS upgrade.

You're trying to say Apple could just ship them as app updates, but no, they can't. The APIs they're built on don't exist until a new OS version comes out.

> PHP is still very much in demand and used widely so I wouldn't call it crap.

So is cocaine.

PHP is popular because it is easy to get started with.

PHP is in demand because popular software was made in PHP.

Those are good qualities of PHP. PHP's insufficiencies as a type-safe and performant language are not among those reasons.

> Lot of the points you described seem unrelated to PHP but just incomplete views based on your own premature judgements because you dislike PHP.

I'm not sure what makes you think that my judgement is premature.

I wrote PHP for a lot of years since 2004.

I don't normally bash PHP. It is too easy, after all.

But when some blog post says that PHP is a strong choice in 2022 because of strict typing and performance, I have to beg to differ. You will see commenters consistently downplay performance as "you don't really need performance on average", as if not needing performance constitutes having it. And similarly, you will see commenters say that it does have enough typing, which is of course subjective. But what is "fully typed", as the article refers to? If I have an array, can I say what kind of thing goes into the array, and will it be a type error if I stuff something else in there? Can I declare something as not nullable? If not, what's particularly "full" about this?

As a hardware engineer I think the vivado toolchain is brilliant, and way way better than the toolchians I have to put up with in ASIC design. The sad fact is low level HW design is very difficult, and making tooling help simplify this immensely hard. I don't know of a FPGA/ASIC toolchain that is better, do you? Compared to SW toolchians im sure it appears horrendous, but custom HW requires logic synthesis, clocking, timing, simulation, debug, with cross probing back to the source code at any point in the flow. Layering an SDK on top of this for embedded SW. It even has tools to help create hardware from C (HLS). Nothing else for HW I've seen is this well integrated or powerful. And it's for free. Sure people rag on it, but appreciation for the magnitude of what it is providing is difficult for those coming from a SW background

It’s crazy how when a lie takes hold, it just stays forever.

Another is relayed to January 6th protests. A friend today, a conservative DeSantis supporter, told me that he knew that on January 6th, the protestors killed several police officers.

This is, as we know now, absolutely false. It was based on a rumor, and once the reporting caught up, it turned out to be false.

Similarly I’m sure there will be Canadians who know that there were these mass unmarked child graves at schools. But again: totally false.

Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper.

Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out.

Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible?

If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.

While generally true, I would argue that for the use cases where full-text search is mostly used (e.g. either search through a public database, or, quite the opposite, an internal system that does search through logs collected from various sources), in practice security vulnerabilities are less of a concern because usually even if you can expose some data stored in the full text index using that vulnerability, it would still only expose data you could already find in that search engine and that's already accessible to you :).

yes, that is the decision made by said distros in the best interest of working toward an easier but REMOTE recovery mechanism.

Not something one would not want to do in terms of increasing the overhead of remote (and thusly its general) system administration nor weaken the security stance of an overall host.

It may look good to do such smushing of [/usr]/bin for the short term but the introduction of vastly more surface attack areas should give any serious security architects the pause.
As a reasonably successful person I readily admit to this.

“In App Browsers” (IABs) too, along with all saved payment cards in your key chain.

As a data point from an online retailer, we kept seeing a significantly high (I think it was something ridiculous like 30%) drop out at the check out payment screen for all Facebook/Instagram ad customers.

What was happening was they were clicking on ads, coming to our site, going to purchase and then when they reached payment didn’t have access to Apple Pay or there saved card details. The in app browsers have an “open in Safari” button, they were clicking that - so they could use their prefers payment method - and loosing their session and shopping cart. It was catastrophic!

We ultimate fixed the issue with a warning message to customers who are within an IAB.

IABs are bad for advertisers, they only serve to keep users within the social media app.

Anyone with the Beta, I would love to know if either Apple Pay or key chain saved cards are available now in social media IABs.

None of those are like what Unix does though. I'm not saying you shouldn't store configuration data in some other location to the app itself. That's quite reasonable.

What Unix does is mix up the contents of all the apps themselves. All app binaries are in `/usr/bin`. All libraries are in `/usr/lib`. All their data is in `/usr/share`. No other OS does that as far as I am aware.
