There's plenty of good laptops out there not made by apple. Dell XPS 13 is excellent, asus has several zenbook models that are on par, etc. They don't get much media coverage because the standards we expect from laptops are so high now that we take it for granted (0.75" thick or less, all day battery, insanely high pixel density (enough to require scaling), fast enough cpu/memory for any day to day task, great screen brightness, 512gb-2tb+ nvme ssds, generic charger ports (usb-c), etc. You can get all of that for under $1k from several makers now.

Can you elaborate on this? This feels a very US centric view. The US itself has repeatedly failed to comply with its own 'rules-based order', whilst expecting other powers to comply.
> Kids refuse a bath usually not because they’re rebelling against themselves or the parents, but because they don’t get the concept of delayed gratification yet

I'm confused by this thought because there _isn't_ any delayed gratification in kids taking a bath, as she said, kids love it once they're in there, and they're usually not even running their own bath if they're the age I think she's talking about, so where's the delay, walking to the bathroom? There's certainly less delay than going swimming, and kids love that too.

Getting kids into the bath, even though they like it once they're in there, and given, as she says in the article, that they've liked it before isn't a problem of delayed gratification. It's a problem of routine and requirement, of apathy and change. You have to stop whatever it is you're doing and go take a bath _every day_, my nephew absolutely loves going to the park, but if we did it every day there'd be so many days where he doesn't feel like it, even if he loves it every time he gets there.

This is exactly the point the author is making, discipline is about doing things that need doing, the question is whether it's still discipline if it's something you're doing only for your own enjoyment, and whether finding enjoyment out of things you need to do is enough.

Can you cite the amendment that mentions it? I'm particularly interested in the military bloc alliances, as EU is a political and economic entity that even the documents of 1990 have no restrictions about.

Here’s an article about the approved amendments that make it a goal of Ukraine to join NATO

> Ukrainian SSR ceased to exist similarly to how RSFSR ceased to eixst after USSR collapse, yet the newly formed respective states and the governments were their legal successors, they paid external debts of USSR and followed all ratified documents with regard to foreign relations. Ukraine's Constitution of 1996 was no exeption to that transition. [1] shows it in its Preambler section (I cite):

This is all kind of a moot point because if they can amend there constitution to allow it (which they did). It’s not longer a issue is it.
Isn't Apple's stance exactly what the US government does: formally not recognizing Taiwan, while at the same time working with them? Everyone is a little bit angry, but nobody so much that they do something about it.

And as long as the US doesn't formally recognize Taiwan, "made in Taiwan" shouldn't even be considered formally correct in the US, even if the issue with Chinese enforcement around this label didn't exist

Amazon announces deal to buy Roomba maker for $1.7B
I love how these companies advertise Windows 11 Pro as a feature. As if anyone would be surprised or excited for what is effectively the status quo. It'd be like being surprised or excited that it was black.

Its just kinda funny. Now if it was certified to run OSX, Linux, Beos, or Temple OS, or something, now THAT would be a selling point.

For you.

>Internal combustion cars can't go 500 miles on a tank of gas either, and trips longer than 300 miles are a tiny, tiny, tiny minority for most people.

Internal combustion doesn't need to go 500 miles on a tank. Gas vehicles can go 300-400 miles and then add an additional 300-400 miles in <2 minutes.

Hydrogen vehicles can have that same benefit.
A number of friends made a bunch of money from stocks and crypto and decided to quit their jobs and build something of their own.

They always had plans to do it but never enough savings to take the leap.
What I mean by jeopardize is that these changes taken on their own would be seen as bad by many consumers, it is only because apple also provides an alternative (however expensive) that they end up getting away with it in public opinion (and sales).

My hometown is much more bike friendly now. It wasn't an issue 30 years ago when I was a kid, but now there are major bike/jogging paths cutting through town in a few different directions, bike lanes are wider and clearly marked, sometimes with barriers.

The M1 and M2 (and the benefits from them, like ridiculous battery life, low heat (enough so that you can run it totally fanless unless you're outside in the direct sun or something), and more importantly desktop-comparable speed for even heavy tasks like photo/video editing are really, really good. Honestly unless you're required to run windows, it makes a macbook kind of a no brainer right now, especially if you have other ios devices.

Absolutely every American company that get a legal request for data from law enforcement will comply. Small companies don't make the news the way Amazon does, but if robot vacuums have ever collected evidence of a crime, then I guarantee iRobot has been issued and complied with requests for data too. Police routinely collect security camera footage from small businesses. Nobody is immune to due process.

Force Touch was the same tech as 3D Touch, first introduced on the watch. It was rebranded for the iPhone when the pressure sensitivity stuff was added.

SEO has always been the enemy of finding what you wanted, which this article glosses over, but the real bombshell is this:

I predict that GPT-3 or -4 will utterly devalue unauthenticated communication, like email, blog posts, search results and texts. Methods like landline voice calls through 5ESS and 1AESS switches, dialed manually and carried by analog, will regain supremacy. We may even see the return of TWX or telegraph comms.
>" Vs. a near-zero percentage are actually willing to avoid buying products made in (mainland) China, or with major components made there."

Personally, I make a sincere effort to buy products that aren't made in China. I've been doing this for years but unfortunately avoiding things made in China is surprisingly difficult. When I end up buying products made in China, it isn't because of a lack of conviction, it is because there was no alternative I could find.
They aren't just a tech company though are they? They are one of the largest companies in the world with an annual turnover comparable with small countries like Denmark or Norway.
There are less silly ways to push back against the utility of established terminology. I enjoy Sean O'Malley as a combat athlete, but his insistence that he has an unblemished record is, at best, an amusing quirk of his public persona. Nobody but him takes that claim seriously, and I'd respect him more if I learned he doesn't either.

What is happening now looks like a reversal of the trend that saw a growing average GDP per Capita coupled with a shrinking median GDP per Capita. The economy is contacting, but the man on the street is seeing a bigger piece of it. Most would agree that's on balance good thing. But calling it not a recession avoids the awkward conversation of how we hid the opposite trend with an over reliance on GDP size.
I didn't even mention Calyx in my original comment. Your reply sounds like the paranoia GrapheneOS is famous for.
Replay attacks are easy to mitigate but this isn't exactly what this is. This is a RELAY attack which is harder to mitigate. Still very possible to mitigate by using very strict timing parameters which can detect the physical distance by things which are immutable (speed of rf transmission) vs infer it via limiting TX power.

You're being way too defensive here.

The iPhone was revolutionary, lacking some software features at launch was nothing that couldn't be fixed.

What the post above clearly means is releasing hardware that's still a few iterations from being "mainstream appealing"

If you actually follow the story of the iPhone, Apple could have released a bulkier more primitive version, but Steve Jobs refused because it wouldn't have mainstream appeal.

And Apple just seems to be more conservative in the feature wars in general. They held out the longest on OLEDs, they held out the longest on 120hz, etc. all until it was practically "boring" tech.
Do you remember where in app? I checked a few times and don't see anything.

Without knowing where you are, 15 ranges from 'virtual poverty' to 'ok'. 19 isn't much better. 'Very good' sounds like an immense overstatement.

It amazes me how quickly people online are willing to start ww3. It seems like it's not the world leaders we have to worry about, it's the fucking commenters.

Yes it should be picked up but the US can't just go in swinging with China. Nobody wins.
Alternative view:

Apple has spent many years happily profiting from cheap Chinese manufacturing, labor, electrial engineering expertise and supply chains to the point where they are now completely beholden to a foreign country. A country whose increasing rivalry with the US in economic power and geopolitical influence (along with increased tensions) has been clear for well over a decade.

Apple is diversifying a bit into India and elsewhere (Vietnam I think?), but China could throw Apple into a huge crisis tomorrow if they were cut off, since it would take years to ramp up capacity elsewhere, and sourcing many of the components would be next to impossible.

And Apple really couldn't blame anyone but themselves for it.

It also seems to me like the are diversifying more because India demanded it and for price, rather than tho reduce dependencies ok China. But that's just unqualified guesswork.
> And basically everyone here is choosing cheaper Chinese goods so we're all complicit too.

The only way to not be complicit is to not have a phone. China makes them all.

> * For x86, the package availability is almost unparalleled *

No it is not. Please don't spread that nonsense.

Tons of packages don't work. Many are not maintained. Debugging packages are a huge pain.

I've never had so much problems on any distro related to packages as on nixos.

Which is expected! Nixos is novel and a niche, few develop for it and tons of stuff break because assumptions that work on all other distros don't.

But please don't try to give people the idea that nixos package situation is great or even good. It is only hurting the cause.

Many of my documents do indeed have a similar layout for design and it is nice to see efforts like this to create more rigor in SW architecture. As a practitioner (and being opinionated), I have these observations:

- The "Building block view" is really the high level Structural Design. I tend to use structural decomposition to relay this information, iteratively breaking down into subsystems, components, etc. For this reason I prefer the term Structural.
- The "Runtime view" is really the Behavioral Design of the system, the sum of behaviors of a system is what you see at runtime.

I wonder if the terminology chosen for arc42 comes from a more academic or earlier time in SW architecture and design.

I'm also a fan of the C4 Model[1] for visualization. So I think I'm going to try to incorporate the two together, like, utilize arc42 for a formal and disciplined approach to architecture documentation coupled with the informative visual paradigm of C4 Landscape, Context, Containers, and Components.

I'm just gonna stop paying attention to any fear predictions the hive mind makes at this point. Jobs getting cut, jobs increasing. No idea what's actually happening but I'm not gonna let myself get emotionally involved with whatever the current fears are.
Yeah makes sense. I love the politics like this where everyone is firmly in solidarity but everyone is making deals out the back door. Like Europeans at war with Russia but buying gas, Americans hating China but spending all their money on stuff made there, Communist leaders hating America but sending their kids to school there.
Appealing to authority is not wholly awful. In an instance of a low-risk decision (whether to trust an authority) it seems shitty for him to try to make this a lesson on it.

The outcomes of decentralization sound good until you realize it means you’re either running your own server, or using a blockchain and need to protect a private key somehow. But normal humans want nothing to do with either of those responsibilities and always rely on a centralized service.

If this ID standard included a way to use a centrally-controlled email address (the defacto ID standard today that works just fine for most legal activities) or a social login then maybe some of the bigger players would be onboard and it would take hold. As is it seems like it’s just gonna be another crypto fad.

I know this is tangential to your point -- but that place really doesn't exist.

So their developers do indeed use Pixie dust when debugging Windows build pipelines and compilers.
This is a historical design/manufacturing problem, not a factual blanket statement.

Given the higher quality control standards that would be possible with a modern automated manufacturing process, each individual panel would now be higher quality than the variation of contractors building housing from scratch on-site.

From there, its just a matter of ensuring the final build site is prepped to spec. Leveling and grading, water runoff, etc. This would be the only variation between homes, and could be accomplished by a more highly trained crew with specialized equipment, as this would be their regular job.

In the end, its just a better way to go than building homes from scratch on site.
This vividly reminds me of "The Washing Machine Tragedy", a story in the "Memoirs of a Space Traveller" book by Stanisław Lem. Highly recommended to any fan of house automation.
Fair. I disagree with "consistent". Some highly profitable, speculative, and complicated US financial firms have done this, but others haven't. E.g. insurance firms.

This is my experience with both Nix and Guix. They have advantages but they are different to the point of being unusual.

I very much want the benefits of these kinds of systems, but they both produce a run time system (shell environment, whatever) that is not typical of how most people use software. So, while most other people are helping each other out with the "usual" problems, Nix/Guix users have a different set of problems. Sure, they are reproducible problems often shared by all other Nix/Guix users, but those communities are niche compared to what is typical.
Even university libraries? What kind of books do you have in mind?
> That doesn't make any sense to me. void* is a type isn't it? nullptr is a value. I don't see the overlap

The C standard permits NULL to be defined as (void*)0 or 0. The issue is this creates an inconstancy when NULL is used with _Generic selection: a compiler defining NULL as (void*)0 will cause NULL to be caught by a pointer case whereas a compiler defining NULL as 0 will cause it to be caught by an integer case. This inconsistently could be solved by mandating NULL be defined as (void*)0 so it will always be caught by the pointer case.

The issue is instead of mandating (void*)0 the C committee decided to introduce a whole new nullptr concept. This duplicates the concept of null in the language and requires all C compiler vendors to modify the languages type system to account for it. So it creates more work for vendors and duplicates the concept of null all to solve this minor use case.

This is correct. The US does not recognize Taiwan as an independent country. The Taiwanese government doesn't recognize itself as a separate country from mainland China. I guess some people want Apple to have some US ultra-jingoist Opium Wars attitude to China that the US (aside from perhaps Pelosi) does not.
If you use different keys for different purposes, then only one purpose is lost.

Also, there are services that help to recover your key.

I meant citizens of the other countries that don't have diplomatic relations trying to go to Israel. They only have one passport and would be in trouble if they visited as their passport would be stamped, thus the scheme of a separate document. Meanwhile, the government buys things from Israel that transit via some nearby country to "simplify imports" through "creative incoterms" and naming and all.
