I'm quite sure in 2005 usb mice worked fine on linux.

mount is for filesystems not for other stuff.

I guess your distribution just didn't ship the needed Xorg config and at the time xorg wasn't autoconfiguring input devices.
Ha! I could say exactly the same thing. The songs ended up being some of the most fun parts to read/sing. Even when some of them made us laugh about how repetitive or strange they were.
it's not the same, but apple could add the home button on the side, even if they remove it from the front. it could incorporate the fingerprint sensor like the ipad, or they could use an in-display fingerprint sensor, combined with the removal of the front camera, and voilà, their holy grail single slab of glass iphone!

i still use my trusty 6S because i prefer the fingerprint scanner and home button, plus having a real headphone jack is useful every now and then.
Silicon has the advantage that it's mega, mega cheap. So what we're going to see is tiered hardware: silicon for most stuff, and boron arsenide for high-performance, server, and Apple devices.
Curious, how does using Emacs affect that much the workflow to the point of pre-commit being so annoying?

What does that matter? Either it generates useful results or it doesn't. That is the metric we should evaluate it on.
the 1st gen SE design looks nothing like the newer models, it was actually based on the iPhone 5 design, see pictures here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_SE_(1st_generation)

The SE 2nd and 3rd gen on the other hand are based on the iPhone 6/7/8 design which is quite different

Same here. I was born in the USSR and came to Canada some 30 years ago. I very much prefer it here ;) My point was not about treatment of their own citizens by any particular country. It was how one country treats the others. From that point of view the victims might see the US in much worse light then say Russia. And the same victims might still want to immigrate to the US because they'll be better off in regards for life standard.
Yeah but it's Google, it's probably Naive, but I just hate the company and the business model.
Can't find a lot of info about this. Is it desktop support only that's been dropped?
I am happy with my iphone8 which is equivalent of SE with a larger screen, however saddened by the fact that I always have to clean up its charging port and its square casing of the original wired headphone I prefer to use..
What would be cool is if we could run some kind of jobs in a docker container on those instances with the nvidia drivers pre-installed.

What I mean is I prepare a container, I go to tensordock and start my container with some parameter. Tensordock prepares an instance in the background for me, run the container and stop the instance once the container stop.
The thing is though is that the Senators aren't the people that really need to be top talent, it's the bureaucrats that actually implement the legislation and policies that needs to be top talent.

C API != C++ API

Vulkan development, for instance, drives me up a tree. Vulkan has probably the best C API I've probably ever seen.

Vulkan support libraries like the Vulkan Memory Allocator all tend to be C++ because that's what GameDev tends to use. And they're an absolute nightmare to integrate with anything not C++.

I mean, even the C++ guys eventually gave up. Look at the proliferation of "Header-only" C++ libraries because integrating with the C++ compiler and linker is simply too painful.
Another commenter here claimed that in Singapore, they pay 3x the national median salary. Singapore is not my cup of tea government-wise, but they are viewed as one of the least corrupt governments in the world.

Certainly that's not solely due to how they are paid, but I'm sure it factors in.
> HomeKit was supposed to be this big thing and it seems to have been silently forgotten.

Actually this has just been rebooted as part of the "Thread" and "Matter" alliance. Might finally start working.

Apple's niche, as usual, is privacy, and part of their go it alone attempts (yes, plural) was because they wouldn't certify anything that nakedly leaked info. I don't know how all that will work now that Nest and Alexa devices (which share info with the cops without a warrant) will also be thread/matter devices.

While I agree with you on someone stealing your car, I don't see the gun and the car as so different as you do. You can easily kill people with a car or box truck, and possibly in greater number.

Blaming someone because their car or gun was stolen sounds a lot like victim blaming to me. And to the comment about breaking the window, I'd like to point out that most safes are practically as easy to break open as a window is. I recall buying one safe, and another customer explained to me in detail how they had pried one open in only a few seconds.
But why let Apple take all of that margin from you? This year my iPhone XS will depreciate like $100, costing me $0.30 / day to do the same tasks just as well.
Fortunately for me this was one of only two times in my life I splurged for first class (mostly due to the length of the flight). They kept offering us champagne and extra snacks from economy, so that took the edge off quite a bit.

I don't think the article indicates that storage isn't getting cheaper. Equally possible is that amazon's S3 margins are getting better.

For companies like Facebook and YouTube it is possible that they're not affected in the same way that a regular S3 customer would be.

A true "Stupid idiot" in my book would be like someone who keeps going to jail for petty vandalism that they post on their tiktok with only 100 subscribers. Sure, there is plenty of them, but they are not the most dangerous person out there.

The drunk driver who is highly capable has never been in an accident before. He does all kinds of stupid stuff because he is so capable. His reaction time carries him through. His instincts tell him just how far he can push things. Till he goes one step too far and mows down a family. I don't blame stupid, I blame confident.

A programmer is very clever. His code is perfect. The project is in the toilet because it's unmaintainable. But hey, not his fault nobody else can understand his genius code. The few who dig through it have to admit, wow, that's impressive.

The hacker steals the little old ladys life savings with a 0day he found himself. Where's the stupid? He won. He was untracable. He's somewhere on the beach in the Carribean, which is apparently a place people want to be.

The company makes an unsafe drug. The chemist was smart enough to do chemistry. The exec can manage a company. They didn't test well enough. People die. No stupid needed.

The math genius turned philosopher(Ahem... Kaczynski) sees the world through a very objective lens. By a system of principles, he determines tech is the enemy. He kills in the name of this ideology. There aren't many flaws in the reasoning, the only problem is he is forcing his values(Like people having survival goals instead of surrogate goals) on us.

Stupid people can use processes to decouple the results from their own skill and action. A confident person will not, and as such any imperfections they have show. And we all have imperfections.

Would you rather fly with a below average pilot who woul5 call the cops on anyone who doesn't follow the checklist, or the worlds best pilot in terms of basic talent, who doesn't think he needs a checklist and does a few show off dives in the flight just for fun?
Was a little tongue in cheek, but we're talking CRUD not complex systems; modern tooling has dramatically expedited the speed at which we can churn out such things, I see no reason to drag it out unnecessarily.

Not bashing retool ofc, I think it's a great product for tech sectors that don't have access to top SWEs.

I'm not a biologist, but that doesn't sound minimal if crystallography is expensive.

It sounds like how we model airplanes in computers, but still test the real thing - i wouldn't call the impact of computer modelling on airplane design to be minimal.
Very happy with my SE 2, other than battery life. A $20-on-clearance external pack, which is about the size of the phone and can be stowed away, makes for a good combination. The larger phones look nice, but that's not enough.
> Why did you go for a Pro over a regular iPhone 13 (for example).

The zoom lens. Worth the price alone.
> It doesn't depend on the faction, producing more bases doesn't depend on having more scvs, drones or probes.

In SC2 it does for Zerg: their units are weaker than other races so in order to compensate that you have to reinforce faster which is done by having more hatcheries to mine more and produce extra larva.

In BW the only thing that pushes additional bases is using gas-heavy strategies since there's only 1 geyser per base with limited rate of gathering.
I have luckily had the opposite experience. I've always had the biggest phone I could get (Pro Max and all the rest) but decided to try the 13 Mini after hearing so many good things. Given how fussy I usually am, it's been amazing. The pros outweigh any cons for me, but it seems the Mini is going the way of the dodo in future anyway and the SE really is a step too far down for me.
How does that compare to today’s data though, given larger numbers of higher-bitrate higher-resolution videos?

Perhaps during the first year of youtube’s existence people uploaded an exabyte of video… but if people today are uploading one exabyte per day, then it hardly seems worth the hassle of deleting that first year.
«But also, I feel that it's generally incorrect to position Rust's safety model as the opposite of automatic GC.»

Agree, that is not what I meant. Rust provides type safety and allows you to without a GC, all while offering top speed. Being able to do without a GC is somewhat of a niche requirement I think. In those cases it is an requirement, Rust would be a top choice.

My point is: there are tons of GUI applications written in C++. And to this day there are still new projects that pick C++ because it needs a GUI. I consider that a bad thing for Rust. Thinking Rust should be at the CLI-apps competition is just a way to avoid C++. It is the wrong contest, and I am not sure if Rust is even able to win that contest because what Rust has to offer (no GC) isn´t of interest for most CLI apps. I think cli apps like kubectl would not be hurt by being GC'ed.

I think that the Rust leadership should identify that GUI is the first city they need to liberate from C++ if they ever dream to replace C++. I just learned some original work has started by various projects, so I keep my fingers crossed.
I love the size of my mini. It's perfect for one handed operation.
Twitter, of all options. A thread. (1/287)
I have the 13 mini and love it - I’m sad it’ll be the last one for a long time. The 12 was great too, but the battery life hit was noticeable- the 13 fixed that.

I would prefer the telephoto lens to the the warped wide angle (which I find useless). I also miss out on the high refresh rate display (for the 12 year none of the phones had it).

The mini is probably my favorite iPhone design of all time. It’s basically a 5 (my previous favorite) with a full screen display.

It’s a shame we’ll lose a small phone that doesn’t compromise on features this year - I don’t want an SE.

This is such a huge design question -- the button layout of the phone is now muscle memory for me! I do wonder if they'd make such a drastic change.

> i still use my trusty 6S because i prefer the fingerprint scanner and home button, plus having a real headphone jack is useful every now and then.

That's exactly what I upgraded from. I do miss my real headphone jack!

What's your plan for support/new devices going forward?
Rust community can't control what happens in enterprise, and enterprise has a nasty habit of prioritizing delivery times over robustness.

>Well, in order to get a smarter compiler, you need new language features to be able to feed additional information about programmer's intent into that compiler

Yes and no. There are some things you want to specify for compiler to check, but a lot of behavior can be inferred from the code. Think about some backend server functionality for a website that has to do processing on some json data. You could take that code in python and write absolutely safe C code, and the process to translate it wouldn't be that hard.
Interesting that they can do this in Europe where land is relatively expensive but not here in the US where land is relatively cheap.
First, it's important to understand that with Twitter, you can always add another tweet, so if you are long-winded, there is nothing to worry about ... (2/287)
Heh, I may be having a strong reaction to the overly-patronizing app. I'm surprised myself at how unpleasant I found it to use.

Reading through this thread, others have also been rubbed the wrong way. The approach they're using is to tell you you're wrong over and over, but in a saccharine "that's okay squirt, you're doing your best!" kind of way.

Like, here's another question: "What is the best way to store hard cheese?

A) In a cool, dark place like your pantry
B) In an airtight bag
C) Wrapped in parchment paper and foil
D) Exposed to the open air of your fridge"

If you answer (A) it's wrong, because nowadays fridges have more constant temperature than pantries. Okay, let's try (D) since it's the only answer that refers to a fridge... nope, that would dry it out. It's (C), which doesn't refer to a fridge at all.

It's question after question like this, with a snarky little spawn-of-Clippy giving you an "ACKKshoowly" about a badly worded question or something that's really a matter of opinion. And in the end, if you unlock enough silly quizzes, they might deign to tell you how to actually cook a hamburger.
I feel like I could use an iPhone 13 mini for at least 3 more years. I used an iPhone 6S plus from Nov 2015 to May 2020, a 2020 iPhone SE from May 2020 to Nov 2021, and I gave that to my kid and took my wife’s iPhone XS, which has been in use since Sep 2018.

I want a 13 mini size phone, but I am waiting for the XS to stop being usable.

I just want them to keep selling a mini size phone, whether it be 13 or 15. I see no difference until it has been at least 4 years in my use cases.
Sure but don't they use AWS for everything else?

I have no idea what that guy is talking about or why Netflix would care about SSD failures more than a normal company that just uses mirrors/raidz for everything.

> A universal computer.

I think the current idea is that the universal computer is the clown, and your terminals (phone/notebook/laptop) have some local processing and different kinds of views into that computer's space.

I actually like that model and remember it well from the late 70s/early 80s. Unfortunately as unix workstations became more popular their somewhat stovepiped model overtook that (despite Sun's "the network is the computer" bull). I hoe we come back to that.
They can eat grass. But they don't. They eat corn that is subsidized by the government. It's a fact that Americans eat more meat than they should and that it has a non negligible environmental impact.
This is how every market player is incentivized to behave, apart from regulatory authorities acting to prosecute monopolistic behavior.

1. Price and compete aggressively to grow market share, put competitors out of business, and even transform the market, if possible

2. Once you become the dominant player (i.e. a monopoly), raise prices (or don't lower them) as much as possible without damaging your market position

This is why it's so important, especially in the US, for government to begin aggressively enforcing antitrust law again -- something we've failed to do against companies founded since the 1980s.

Those laws are there for a reason - not just as a weapon against "evil" (though Standard Oil was admittedly pretty bad) but to keep the market healthy and growing. There are so many positive second- and third-order effects that occur only when competition is healthy and well-regulated, and when prices are transparent.
That also makes them wrong, which is still true regardless about how you feel about the companies. Besides, it's a ridiculous statement anyways: for example, Nothing's first phone is coming out soon, which means their most expensive and cheapest phones will be running the same chip. Failing that, there's dozens of Android companies that made lines of handsets using the exact same SOC (like ZTE) because it's cheap to develop. Regardless of the companies involved, saying they're the "only one that does this" is like saying your local diner is the only one making you a real cheesesteak.
That sounds unrealistic. How do you make corruption illegal when the people who benefit from corruption are the ones who have the power to make it legal? At the very least, they get to decide which cases to pursue.
Any company that allows .reg files executed by non-admin users have bigger fish to fry. This method has been used for literally decades.
This isn't strictly true. I do think they are going to lose some number of the highest performers because they have options and they will realize they can go somewhere else.

However, there are still people who are bad at their job and are not good enough at politics/networking to survive a layoff/firing. And there are a set of people who are not liked by an incompetent manager and will also probably be managed out who do not deserve it and are good workers.

So you lose some at the top, some at the bottom, and some in the middle. The issue for Meta, will these actions be able to get rid of enough of the unproductive people to be worth it?

The other issue: morale always goes down after these kinds of things. So I think there is a good chance that overall productivity will go down as people do enough not to be marked for firing, but are not motivated to go above and beyond.

I personally think that Mark Zucherberg doesn't have the charisma to deliver this message in a way that doesn't actually cause harm to the company. But time will tell.
I haven't owned apple hardware for about a decade, and I was seriously considering buying a MacBook Air to try the ecosystem out again, thinking that I'd give it to my gf if I didn't like it, or if I really liked it I'd upgrade to a MBP and still give her the air.

These comments about services have me reconsidering this plan.

I don't read hyperbole in GP's comment either. I also think that it's generally unreasonable to expect people to reframe criticism always in a dispassionate, clinical way. This is a tone expectation that seems widespread in our community that seems unreasonable. I'm all for civility, but there's something annoying about the expectation that all thoughts we express be sanded down so every edge is smooth.

More specifically, the beef complaint is legitimate. I have lost count of how many times I have bought things from the grocery store that went bad well before the best-before date. It isn't often, but it happens - and teaching home cooks food safety absolutely must include this! Dutifully trusting the best-before date with no sanity check for how the ingredient should feel/smell/taste is a recipe for food poisoning!

Something related but probably unnecessary in Suraj's case...

Channel bonding (in the networking "not radio frequency" sense of channel) VPNs and similar setups can be used to improve throughput, reliability and consistency, and provide failover etc, by routing traffic across one or more different internet connections.

You can use multiple connections through different providers and connection methods. Multiple 4G, or cable + 4G etc. The traffic then gets reassembled or de-duplicated or whatever's required at the server-end, and then sent onwards as normal.

Speedify looks like a end-user friendly option and doesn't need dedicated hardware. It's got some other fancy stuff built-in (like redundancy for lossy situations like IRL streaming) and have been around years.

I've not used it yet but am an old and happy Connectify Hotspot MAX user.

I've been looking at Speedify more closely lately because my cable connection sometimes drops briefly once in the middle of the night. Timing is largely unpredictable, making tracking it down a nightmare. Lasts long to drop me out of any game I'm in the middle of!

I have access to multiple cellular connections though, one of which is unlimited and the others may as well be.
