Yes, but are any of Apple's services really that exciting?

There all just 'me too' products levelling the ego system.

Apple TV+ is an odd one for example, it's not needed, there are plenty of streaming services around and they all work fine on apple devices.

They have not tried to do anything interesting or exciting with there services, they've just attached them in the most basic way and watched the cash flow in.
Wouldn’t the alternative be:

You made this sound so appealing, I actually want to work on a project like that now.
DevOps is a sysadmin who doesn't own his infrastructure, mixed with a developer who doesn't own his code.
Some games allow adding motion blur, but it still doesn't get close to the experience of a higher frame rate.

I think the problem is actually the opposite. In real life if you follow a moving object with your eyes then you expect its image to stay at a consistent place on your retina with no or minimal motion blur. If you follow a moving object on a typical LCD screen with your eyes, then for 30fps the object stays still for 1/30 s on the screen, while your eyeballs are still moving, causing motion blur on your retina.
A sample, very popular composition for anyone who is interested in giving the genre a listen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay8vzCHkgEk
My personal opinion is that this somewhat leads individuals to become entitled and less independently driven. And where does this end? People should be able to dig into things that are not always rainbows and unicorns. Inspiration is always nice though, but I don't like the idea of being spoonfed and just wrapping everything in nice shiny packages.
If no ads, whats your main marketing strategy (As schoolmaker)?
> If you don't like it, then avoid products with continuous payments and favor ones that don't as much as you can.

The problem is the "as much as you can". Even for devices that you can still "buy" you are often not really the one in control of that device and the maker will continue to try to extract more money from you using that device.

> DVD beat DivX.

And streaming beat physical media. Movies and TV are a really bad example for your point as it is prohibitively expensive to "buy" these compared to a streaming subscription and that difference is only going to get bigger as less and less people make the effort to own things. This isn't something you can affect on your own.
The next iPhone is likely what they are really shooting for.

The next 'watch' would be a relatively minor product. The watch is a fairly pointless niche device. It helps apple and it's another product in the eco system, but it doesn't move the needle that much.
This is so comprehensive, much thanks.

Obviously it's some great marketing for SchoolMaker - but either way, as someone that possibly wants to make a course in the future - thank you!
Just redefine "flying" as weighing 5 tonnes and being covered with anti-pedestrian spikes and you're all good.

I read this via this SF Masterworks series and I've enjoyed most that I've picked up:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF_Masterworks

Richard Mathesson books are good, I think I am Legend is the one I read first and then started looking out for others in this series.

Swastika Night was probably the most mind-blowing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_Night
Pretty much the same. Only standard phone, IM, reminders, calendar, alarms, and also banking apps can notify me. For order tracking I manually turn it on when putting order, and off after receiving, otherwise too much spam, literally 2-3 times a day per app.

Btw, what are notification places other than my phone? A desktop/browser? Always off for everything.
Not everyone is worried about the same things. Everyone lives in their own bubble.
I actually miss the .ini files of early DOS / Windows days, with the defacto convention of storing them in their related program directory.

They were easy to examine and edit with text tools, and you could do things like diffs. And when you delete the program directory, they go away as well.

I used Total Uninstall on a couple Windows 7 workstations for over a decade and really paid attention to curating my registry against bloat. Almost every software out there leaves waste behind in your registry after you uninstall it.

I reported some of the most egregious cases to developers/publishers over the years... a few even got fixed.

But the ecosystem is a mess. I'm not sure Microsoft ever realized the importance of hammering on best practices and providing the tooling to make them effortless to follow. Even their internal teams have done some ugly stuff over the years.
I'll add 'UI/UX' or 'UX' when they're clearly discussing user interface alone.

They seem to be treated as synonymous but aren't, and are a very strong sign that the person using them isn't good at UI because UI is substantially about clarity (at its core), or just none too bright and willing absorb buzzwords without understanding them.

"The user experience (UX or UE) is how a user interacts with and experiences a product, system or service. It includes a person's perceptions of utility, ease of use, and efficiency"

or

"According to Nielsen Norman Group, 'user experience' includes all the aspects of the interaction between the end-user with the company, its services, and its products"

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience

.

and

"In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process

...

User interfaces are composed of one or more layers, including a human-machine interface (HMI) that interfaces machines with physical input hardware such as keyboards, mice, or game pads, and output hardware such as computer monitors, speakers, and printers"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface

If I were hiring for a UI role and found somebody talked about UI/UX but couldn't explain or distinguish the difference, that would be a strong mark against them.
An acre-foot is 1.233X10^6 liters.

So 1.233X10^6 liters/acre-foot divided by 285 L/kWh is 4326 kWh/acre-foot.

Checks out.
They need to be able to grind silicon and make wafers in a pressure pot too.

Full stack means you can build a web based app alone, that involves databases, backend, server management (this one is arguable), frontend development and design. No need to go lower really.
I don't think that gap actually exists. That "directory of people" is now people's whatspp/discord/snapchat/instagram/messenger DMs. I think people are over the one giant hirehose of people you're loosely acquainted with, so social media has split into two extremes - a big feed of content from others, like reddit/tiktok/twitter. And a lot more closed/private groups, like DMs, group chats, and discords.
We have geniuses like the inventor of CRISPR, penicillin, deep learning, etc.
Good comparision. MeiliSearch's BucketSort and RAM consumption are the reasons I decided not to use MeiliSearch after testing it.

I just couldn't tweak ranking with BucketSort to get a desired relevancy. And memory usage was extremely high.

I didn't bother testing Manticore since there was no good open source client for C#, but seeing they released an official client I might test it to see how it compares to Solr.
Not really fullstack if you ask me, more like deployment tools + cloud infrastructure maybe with a bit of glue code sprinkled in.
I mean we could just make a federated wiki which resolves in the order of your choosing. Wonder if one exists already.
One method how stuff like a 6.5 million note version of tetris is created that multiple people make their own black midi following the melody and then those get combined together. Supprisingly this still sounds very different from white noise.
What I see is that the black midi page links to Zappa not to Zappa’s work titled the black page. I’m not sure of the relationship between Zappa and nancarrow?
> No one seems to know how to get interviews right.

Because it's all theater really. I've reduced the goal of my interviews to getting an answer(any) to the question "is this person a charlatan?".

There are fewer people than open positions and there are definitely fewer competent people than open positions.

I wish HR around the world would make do with what's available, filter out those who are actively harmful and focus on training.
The author of this article is Cal Newport. A computer science professor and the author of my favourite non-fiction book: Deep Work. It's the one book I recommend to any knowledge worker.

Nice to get his perspective on this topic.
> clear aims of world domination

this part I'm not too sure about. Historically speaking, China has been rather "introverted" as a country. They care about making sure their people are well fed and all, but seem to show a distinct lack of imperialism compared to say, the Romans, or Arabs under early Islam, Napoleonic France or Nazi Germany.
I like to go for a run of length = age-in-years km's :)
Desktop in particular bugs me... I would love to see usage stats of the macOS notification "area", I'm pretty sure it is only ever tapped by mistake...

Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of Destination Control (2009)
Those are polar opposites.

A button for 'disagree strongly' should upvote a comment.

When Einstein and Niels Bohr 'strongly disagree' on quantum physics in 1927, they start a debate that makes both of them more enlightened.

When a bullshit artist, who couldn't care less about the truth, hijack a discussion to make it all about Him (it's almost always a dude), everyone become dumber.

"Moving along" is not enough because the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it.

You need to actually downvote and hide it.
Yes, but you'd be surprised about the amount of people that don't have the $50, don't even have a computer and just a phone and an iPad for example.
It's only short-sighted if you don't plan to pay off the debt.
That’s gonna be tough when you turn 80…
> Regarding DevOps, a major aim was to embed operational concerns into all stages of development. In that sense, it was a massive success...

I strongly disagree here.

If it was such a success, then why are there devops jobs at all? If it was meant to signify that developers should share responsibility on deployments and integrations, what's the role of a "devops engineer"?

It seems to me that self-proclaimed devops practitioners tend to draw lines to limit their responsibility in the software building process, which is also counterproductive.
>All security issues are handled on iOS for many years.

Yes, absolutely. I didn't mean to imply anything else.

Google says Pixel 6 will get "at least 5 years" of security updates. We're going to have to wait and see if that's better or worse than what Apple does.
Yes... Or smaller.

Light from far enough away is focussed by any mass, and will appear as a 'ring' around the mass. But if the mass isn't heavy enough the 'ring' that you see might be behind the object itself.

Their naming is quite inspirational. If I ever start a popular band I will also try to make some existing thing completely un-googleable. The band Franz Ferdinand also tried this and seem to have failed.
Best practice.
It's not that our eggs are better. It's that there are a lot of food standards here, and eggs have markings and logos printed on them to tell you which standards they follow. And the egg boxes have even more markings and logos printed on them.

Things like a red lion or a red tractor being printed on an egg. They mean a lot in the UK, but don't mean anything to anybody in any other country.
I read the article twice, and the only takeaway I can remember is, the Eee-pc that ran a custom Linux distro was better than anything that came after it.
I had one as well and loved it. One day someone broke into the flat and it got stolen. I still think about it sometime. It was really a great form factor.

In Corporate and Enterprise environments, the term 'Technical Debt' is now commonly used for systems and platforms that are beyond their supportable lifecycle, but are still in use for reasons, yet need to be replaced as soon as possible. These systems were never just hacked together with the knowledge they'd be problem in the future.
I recently moved from software dev to devops and this sounds about right! I'm supposed to understand the product teams entire codebase, write the tooling, create/update terraform for the infra, implement CI/CD stuff plus act as some kind of IT guy with AWS access.

Don't get me wrong, it makes a nice change from pure development, but it's clear that in most places, 'DevOps' is not so clearly defined.
Hetzner Cloud introduced this feature lately too. Public Ipv4 and ipv6 are optional (you can connect the servers to a vnet). Not requiring an ipv4 gives you 0,50€ discount per month.
Good to see more open-source CAM/CNC tools.
"So, what would you say you do here?"
An ageing population is sometimes axiomatically considered to be a problem. However, Japan, S. Korea and Germany do not appear to be suffering from a lack of GDP growth compared to the OECD as a whole. Perhaps a growing productivity per worker is able to compensate for fewer workers?

Indeed, there may be advantages to declining populations, such as reduced environmental pressures and reduced demand for housing...
I recall some site called olpcnews or similar that was run by a pretty brazen shill that posted nothing but fud regarding the project and news of deals and projects from Intel and Microsoft around the Windows offering. Where or not there were fatal flaws in the OLPC model there was NO WAY the incumbents were going to let edu fall to it.
We have moved from a people focus to a content focused UX design. TikTok is this in perfection as while "creators" get millions of views, remembering them on scale is hard and following usually doesn't alter the experience much.
The reality is that a "people directory" doesn't have the same level of engagement.
This is almost always down to third party software and people installing tons of junk software that starts with the machine. My laptop that I've used every day for 6 years is still as fast as it was when I got it.
Frontend devs? It's 1990s!
Changing words reflect worldly dynamics. Just as people use money to
achieve aims there is a meta-game in etymology, beyond the
communicative use of words. They don't just randomly change or
'evolve' as if by Dawinism. Coining a good phrase can make a business
or career. Power comes through words. An interesting analog connects
words to money.

They are 'minted', by small groups or individuals, to serve a local
need.

They can be 'issued' by PR/news/sales people, spin-doctors and
propagandists, or enter popular use through education or popular
science.

They lose their 'currency' like "coins that wear down and lose their
faces".

They are 'appropriated', taken and reused by other groups.

They can come back into circulation as old ideas cycle round.

Much of it is simply down to changing (and mostly improving)
technologies. It doesn't make sense to talk about mainframes or
peripherals in an age of "clouds" and tightly integrated handheld
clients. But in computing I've also seen plenty of churn with meanings
that reveal a battleground of ideas, frequently with near religious
fervour. For example, wasn't "Object Orientation" more than a mere
programming approach? A couple of decades ago it was heretical to talk
of other paradigms. And yet, in some progressive circles to talk of
'objectification' is anathema.

The rise and rise of "management", its constant, chameleon
self-reinvention has muddied many waters. Many new meanings seem to
grow from the bureaucratisation of society through code, a restless
tendency toward make-work, anthropomorphism and even deification. The
"cloud" is more than a mere model for computing infrastructure. At the
very least I think its a political idea.
Best Machine Code Routines for the ZX Spectrum – 2nd Ed
Very good analogy, though I'm completely lost what is what, but it's probably because it's too early here :D

Can we all agree on the concept of 3 though? :) I mean PhD dissertations are written and successfully defended each day pro-and-contra 3.

Do we have a shared concept? Is 3 the same for a research mathematician and a 5 year old?

In practice if it works it works. The same with colors, or music, or ... well, any sort of thing and associated qualia. After all when you say 1/3 + 2/3 most people will say 1 (hopefully, though I have no idea how well known fractions are), but those pesky programmers might just laugh and say that you can't even represent them accurately.

This shows that integers (and the natural numbers) and basic arithmetical are so old in our culture that they truly are probably shared with 99.9% of humans (or let's say English speakers). But if we step a little bit outside of that by taking 4 and 8, then you might like them because they are nice powers of 2, but some Chinese people might not like 4 because it's association with death (but do like 8 because it's association with wealth & success).

And so the question is: the mind that wakes up is the same as the one that went unconscious? Is there even an abstract concept of our minds? (How tied minds are to their physical representation?) Solipsism states that despite everything indicating that there are things independently (materially or not) outside of our mind it doesn't matter because our mind is truly the only thing we have, we are, we'll ever have. (It can be a complete simulation, it can be just a dream, we can never know!)

Joscha Bach's "computationalism" (maybe he doesn't call it that) says that consciousness is evolution's answer to "how to regulate the organism in relation to other self-regulating organisms", so it's a self-directed attention of intelligence (which is also a model of things that we pay attention to). In this regard consciousness is just as part of the population as the genome, so while there are definitely you and me, but at the same time it's the same "evolutionary software" just running on a big shared pool of brains. (Which also means that we could compare every concept via computation - eg. enumerating its properties (and so on the properties required for those properties of course, so infinite regress creeps in), and this means that we can have a shared concept of 3, if it's computationally equivalent.)

Intro to article reads

> Although the definition of a recession varies between different countries and scholars, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country's real gross domestic product is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession.[3][4][5] In the United States, a recession is defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales".[6] In the United Kingdom and other countries, it is defined as a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters

Great tip, I'm going to order these now.
Clarification: 1/3 of sites will go down (those using the AZ that went offline), but my point is the same. Most companies aren't using multiple AZs, let alone multiple regions.
Ah, thank you, this is actually the argument, not what the article said.

Unfortunately I've become a bit disillusioned that we can reclaim the conversation to be about the optimal level of quality, and what tradeoffs are acceptable.

Office bullshit language seems to have strangled nuance so hard that I'm now sure that most of these conversations are useless and we'd better spend our focus on finding and working with mature adults that don't need that much convincing
A good analysis. Whether you like it or not, Tiktok is a classic example of disruption. They've not only circumvented the moat of their biggest competitors, but made it a liability - FB & Insta can't just abandon the social graph without disenfranchinsing their existing users. Absolutely textbook innovation.

> people are afraid of data collection now in a way they weren't in 2006

I disagree with this one. They might be afraid of sharing their data explicitly i.e. sharing everything happening to them for everyone to see (even strangers). The trend now is sharing content to people they only have very close relationships with. But them being afraid of big tech collecting and analyzing their data? I don't think so.
I long pressed on videos to say "not interested" that show gross dermatology videos, root canals, and ear cleaning. I would still repeatedly get those when I was using the app.
That's insane. How often do you have the manufacture date of your meat?

If you buy it from a supermarket in plastic packaging then sure. But I usually get my mince in a bag from the butcher, it's cheaper and fresher. Smell and colour is all I can go off.
