>They're putting out the best hardware ever - by a huge margin

... not really. They basically put phone processors into laptops because they realized that most people use their laptops exactly like they use their phones.

The new M1/M2 machines have ever so slightly higher single core performance, comparable multi core performance, and when you run them full tilt, the battery doesn't last that long and they start thermal throttling. The only time their battery lasts long is when you use them like phones. Its a neat use case for sure, but nothing ground breaking.

On top of everything, monitors are still at 60hz, external monitor support is shit especially without a dedicated hdmi port, and repairability is a joke.

Apple has, is, and always will be a jewelry manufacturer.
Garden hoses are absolutely awful for their plasticizer content (xenoestrogen) as well
It's not about turning it off. You just don't allocate on the hot path.
Then it's just for vanity, lol?
Storage to address the intermittency of renewables will still leave renewables cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear is just that bad.
That's why I referred to it as a psychological trick.

They should be open and forthcoming about their level of confidence, instead of using the least worrying language they can offer while remaining technically correct.
The formula given on the page appears to take an exponential number of multiplications. That seems excessively inefficient.

In a finite field, at least, one could compute 2n syndromes (sums of the roots raised to 1st through 2n-th power) and then use the berlekamp massey to recover the polynomial. Would take O(n^2) operations overall. If it works over the reals I'm not sure how stable it would be numerically.

But I'm sure there has to be an more efficient approach than an exponential one. :)
> Google is ultimately at the mercy of the carriers

I mean...are they?

If Google were serious about pushing a new standard, and were willing to actually push it on the carriers, they have plenty of money, reach, and clout to make their point heard loud and clear. That would be triply true if it weren't a "new standard" that was yet another transparent attempt to gather more data from users.
They're really raw, yeah.
Yeah, I think they a-b test that shit. I got ads like that too, but non of my friends get it. Plenty of ppl complaining on their support forum, get referred to the suggestions box where they close the suggestions for lack of intrest...

I stopped using spotify over this bs.
Tell me with a straight face that you know more than one person beside yourself that actually looks at those lights at startup and checks that they are working. :-) I mean, you're right, but I'd venture to guess that for a lot of people the "lamp test" doesn't mean anything to them.
If so, how is that any different from Uber breaking various laws?

The pursuit of private profit vs the defense of someone else's private liberty.

You might think rule of law subsumes both considerations, or something else, but if so you should say that. Asking a rhetorical question whose answer is blindingly obvious is more of a conversational gambit for Socratic authority than a sincere inquiry.
> i don't know in which reality you live but in mine there's not much relationship between the existence of crashes, and them being resolved during development

Really? Crashes during development are the easiest thing to resolve aren't they? Your debugger gets triggered automatically. In my experience crashes are treated as highest priority.

> i don't even know what to say. that's the whole point of destructors - you know that things will be unwound in the reverse order from which they were created on automatic storage. that's, like, why c++ exists

Have you met my friend the virtual keyword?
Nope, we just laid off the least experienced 10% of our team, and haven't hired a junior since 2019.

Best advice is that you don't need a job to become a mid or senior dev:

Go contribute to open source projects. It's the best hiring indicator we have and it's much better at teaching you real world programming than boot camps or CS degrees (I have a CS degree but learned basically nothing about how to actually build software).
I've also had this happen, but never figured out the solution.

This is especially frustrating because your question is likely to pop up first in your search results because you probably phrase things the same way even years later!
In the US that question is actually less a legal or moral question and more of a political one. Politicians are generally afraid of the public opinion reaction to punishing mothers (especially if they happen to be 10 year old victims of rape[1]) - that is of course what all of these restriction laws do, they punish mothers, but silently executing an action and announcing that action out loud are two different things.

Sure, people respond to incentives. But this one is particularly cruel.

Also, despite all those bogus studies (which, for example, don't correct for how much rule of law is upheld when comparing countries), it will reduce the total number of late-stage abortions significantly. That's a win in my books.
Need to get more people onboard with end to end encryption and obfuscating every possible piece of data online. As other commenters have stated, the corporations that run the internet are not your friends.

There is a large number of people in the US who are authoritarian and can't help but try to get involved in other people's business to the maximum degree. They won't stop at any boundary, they are religious zealots.
Maximizing Privacy and Security Settings for Brave and Chrome-Based Browsers
Are you mad about the content or the way it was shown (interfering)? I get these things every couple weeks it's usually pretty targeted/relevant. If it's not incredibly relevant to me it's usually culturally pretty important.

Personally I think spotify is the best content provider to give me good recommendations. Compared to netflix, youtube and other media source they dont show the same 10 items mixed into other topics.

The unfortunate thing about the insane amount of tests that spotify runs to make their platform more engaging is some people will have bad experiences.
> There is no mechanism in crypto to reject incoming funds

Couldn't the same be said of a regular bank account? This doesn't seem to be unique to crypto.

Targeting the most prominent wallets may garner a bit more attention but the end result seems the same. A large number of individuals can have tainted funds deposited in their accounts creating a logistical nightmare.
My car seems to be able to tell there's a child seat in the back and the screen beeps and reminds me to check the rear seat for passengers when I turn off the car.
https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/09/06/finding-great-deve... is a good start on why.
I'm 100% certain they did put in actual effort. If you're so keen on knowing, there's a form at the bottom you can use to ask them.
I suspect our brains have always been better at remembering meta-information than information itself. E.g. where you last saw an item of clothing vs the configuration of colours on it. In most cases this makes sense, and is essentially a space-saving trick, but there must be some point at which the meta-info becomes too inaccessible or too slow to utilise that remembering the full detail directly becomes worthwhile. Convincing your brain of that before it becomes too late can be a regular challenge with so much readily available externally stored information.
I'd say the easiest way to remember the argument order is that it's conceptually the same as for mv and cp: ln -s x y is the closest possible symlink-analogue of cp x y.
Everything should be in code, I feel for sys admins but they had all the time to become software professionals. No more mercy
> Optionals are a mistake but the only fault lies in those who put a null inside.

If you, or a third-party exposed a "Optional", then it's the API mistake. You're never supposed to expose an Optional as either input or output; they're clunky implementation details of the Java Maybe monad.
There is a fundamental difference between Tesla's approach vs. Waymo and Cruise. Waymo and Cruise are starting at the top. They use expensive, bulky, unsightly hardware and only allow their self-driving cars to operate in limited geographic areas. This has a much higher probability of success, and once the tech works, they expand its capabilities. Eventually their tech will become mass-market. They don't kill anyone in the process, and they get very little bad press.

Tesla on the other hand is trying to make a mass-market version work right off the bat, even if it means debugging on the streets. Tesla will get a lot of bad press, will kill a few people, and the public will become sceptic about the tech. I think Elon Musk's approach is not just wrong, it is going to make it harder for Waymo and Cruise by making consumers distrust self-driving cars in general.
Yes, companies definitely should disobey the law by refusing to comply with a valid search warrant in cases where someone is being prosecuted for having an abortion. Obeying the law in this case is clearly immoral!

There is nothing unreasonable or illogical about believing that it is okay for companies to break some laws but not others. You can come to that conclusion in at least two perfectly reasonable ways: you can believe that breaking laws is not in itself a bad thing (but that actions that break some law may be bad for some other reason, such as harming people), or that it is a bad thing but in some cases the lesser of two evils.

However, in practice it may be difficult for a company to organize such disobedience, particularly since, for example, Facebook cannot avoid hiring employees from religious groups who are in favor of these laws. So, a more practical approach is to avoid being in the position of surveilling people's private communications in the first place, so that no employees at the company have access to the information the police seek. End-to-end encryption is a crucial structural protection against this kind of pervasive surveillance, because it prevents intermediaries from having the private information in the first place. Pseudonymity is another one: the teenager should never have given Facebook her legal name, but unfortunately Facebook has extensive policies in place to extort legal names from its users, making them vulnerable to such abuses.

Of course talking about encryption always brings out the knuckledraggers who link to XKCD 538 and talk about hitting people with $5 wrenches. Hopefully this example clarifies why encryption sometimes defeats a $5 wrench: neither the Nebraska teenager nor the Facebook employees were ever at risk of being beaten with a wrench in this case.
Was she coerced into inducing the miscarriage and then into hiding the remains. Fairly obvious question, among others.
This situation proves those people were right.
Not sure if you've heard of Publii?[0]

It's a static blog generator type thing, bit of a different concept to the framework posted. I've tried it a few times casually and it seems ok for non-devs to get something simple up and running. Bit of dev work can update templates etc

The SEO defaults aren't perfect but they're easy enough to change in the software.

Well, not a mature forest, but one of those "tree farms" of evenly spaced monoculture sounds like it'd be a great candidate.

Of course, since those tree farms are explicitly for production and therefore owned by the owner class, who don't really want anything to do with this whole unprofitable "saving the planet" thing, the above scenario is more likely -- but all I meant to suggest is that it'd be possible to use this method and not destroy precious biodiversity at the same time.
I don’t know if there is any known level of safe lead exposure. In terms of direct impact, this is going to be hard to measure but the risk is nonetheless real. In fact the difficulty of measuring the consequences of mass lead exposure was one of the best arguments out forth my oil refining companies back in the day to support leader gasoline. Not sure why all the burden of proof is on anyone who wants to avoid exposure to a dangerous chemical.
This is probably why it was not reported for several months, and why selling the records to the highest bidder on the darkweb was so much more lucrative. Companies need to give out less pathetic incentives to security researchers.
No. An attacker could still, um, hack people (in a very literal way). Once you've stolen their implant, who knows what would be possible?
A miscarriage can be a very traumatic event. You can't expect someone to act in any way rationally afterwards.

In this case it's a bit more suspicious, but it's not an unlikely explanation by itself.
And humanity pulled the trigger
Imo Erlang's scalability benefits are oversold. Unless you're a national carrier the performance of Java far outweighs Erlang's scalability. Instead, Erlang's undersold killer feature is its robust support for hot code reloading. It enables almost any part of the system to be upgraded without affecting running processes. Other languages and VMs can't do that because they optimize call frames differently and rely on mutable state. It's like building a new road on top of an existing one without impacting traffic. Almost magic and very important for always on services like emergency numbers.
Ah yes, because giving the same information to the Chinese government who don't even need a warrant to access the data is better.
Perfect, I've been looking for a new (used) car, historically this means electric/hybrid car prices will drop quickly.

Is there a technical term for the lack of sensible long term planning in large groups?
How so?

I remember the times before I learned Bash and the Unix userland. Those where dark times. I was stuck on Windows 98, which I really didn’t like. It just felt so needlessly crippled. When I discovered Bash, Debian, the Unix way, it felt like a breath of fresh air.

These days I’m on macOS. And one of the best things about it is that it’s a great desktop operating system, with a Unix under the hood. The userland Apple ships is quite dated, but that’s easily solvable by installing GNU Coreutils etc via Homebrew.
I don't think we want Facebook to decide which laws are unjust.
It provides close to nothing, because it doesn't indicate whether there was no evidence because there could be no evidence - you keep no logs - or whether there was no evidence in spite of the fact there definitely should be if it was exploited because of copious information kept that would show it.
No, I am saying the analogy is that my legs exist and may or may not be magical and therefore our understanding of the world must be incomplete because it has no explanation for legs in the first place magical or otherwise, and you are saying that our understanding of the world implies that magic doesn’t exist and so I must be mistaken about the magic of my legs and probably their existence as well.
There is no equating healthcare to gun rights - one of these is used to make lives better and the other is used to destroy them.
And in Europe.
They don't want to establish a history of noncompliance with the big dogs.
That is not as farfetched as it may first appear. Recall, if you will, how every MSM outlet started extolling the abhorrence of "stealthing"(1), in unison, not long before the US reversed course and called Assange an enemy of the state and the UK police entered the embassy to grab him? Social Engineering 101.

(1)Of course, removing a condom w/o consent is abhorrent.
Not explicitly, but there are laws against providing illicit access to abortion, and this can be reasonably interpreted as such.
I really don't understand how Intels drivers for Alchemist are so flawed, they have integrated GPUs that run esports titles at 100+fps.

It seemed to me scaling the existing architecture to have more processing and bandwidth should have yielded a very competitive GPU while reusing their existing talent pool.

Instead we end up with a very buggy, very specialized (needs resizable bar?, DX12 works well but not other runtimes?) that aren't required today for Intel graphics.
They said don't add a publicly known phone number to your account, so you have to create a Google Voice account that you'll never use except for account credentials like this. But Twitter will probably ban you for not using a real phone number. Or, you'll reuse that phone number across other accounts until one of them gets hacked and that phone number sold on the dark net, and now it's a public phone number again.
Facebook almost surely does have a jurisdictional nexus in Nebraska, but not merely because they have a customer there.
The problem with many of HP's laptops that have pointing sticks, including the HP Dev One, is that they lack a middle mouse button for scrolling and middle-clicking. All Lenovo TrackPoints have that middle mouse button, which lets you scroll with the TrackPoint when it's held down.

HP Dev One keyboard (no middle mouse button): https://media.graphassets.com/TdgqLuYTbeGM2oI8PWsV

ThinkPad Carbon X1 keyboard (with middle mouse button): https://www.lenovo.com/medias/lenovo-laptop-thinkpad-x1-carb...

A keyboard with a pointing stick and no middle mouse button is a waste. Hopefully, any pointing stick keyboard for the Framework Laptop will include this button.

It depends upon where you are loading up your material. There are huge electric dump trucks that make more electricity carrying material down the mountain than they need to us to drive empty back up the mountain (45 ton eDumper).
Not entirely true. Open ledger, Ethereum contracts etc. could have banking applications. We just haven't figured out what. And this whole field of crypto is festering with "crypto bros" and their pyramid schemes.

Applications that I could think of are loan syndication platform, collateral valuation ,auto adjudication etc. Note: I have no direct exposure to crypto and I working in banking (IT not business side)

> So, on Windows, assuming Macs don't take away any more market share from Windows, they need to beat AMD+TSMC.

No. All it needs is

- Microsoft and Qualcomm breaking their unholy and IMHO questionably legal alliance

- an ARM CPU vendor willing to do the same as Apple did and add support for accelerating translation of x86 code (IIRC, memory access models/barriers are done differently between x86 and ARM, and Apple simply extended their cores to be able to use the same memory access/barrier model as x86 on translated-x86 threads)

- an ARM CPU vendor willing to implement basic functionality like PCIe actually according to spec - even the Raspberry Pi which is the closest you can get to a mass market general-purpose ARM computer has that broken [1]

- someone (tm) willing to define a common standard of bootup sequence/standard feature set. Might be possible that UEFI fills the role; the current ARM bootloaders are a hot mess compared to the old and tried BIOS/boot sector x86 approach, and most (!) ARM CPUs/BSPs aren't exactly built with "the hardware attached to the chips may change at will" in mind.

Rosetta isn't patented to my knowledge, absolutely nothing is stopping Microsoft from doing the same as part of Windows.

As of today, abortions in Nebraska are still legal up to the 22nd week, with the exception of two small towns in the state. It was expanded from up to the 20th week in 2019.
Kialo: Debates, Discussions and Critical Thinking
Well they don’t call it the hard problem for nothing, my fellow entity.
My point is that your posts read like you have a chip on your shoulder and are working that out in your writing, and that comes through so strongly that it overwhelms any other message you may be trying to communicate. The original post, for instance, isn't off-putting because it's contrarian, but because it reads like the contrarianism is mainly in service of presenting yourself as cleverer than three well-regarded historical figures, plus the author of the article—which, even if that's true, who cares? That's what I meant by the post seeming like it was more for you than for anyone else.

You seemed surprised enough at the reaction to your original post that I thought you might like to know what about it probably "touched quite a few nerves", is all.
Since he mentioned that he is done talking to you and you ask:

> Would it be possible for you to tell me exactly what was/was not said on my end that would have helped in this matter?

The issue is the word argument. You have the technical idea of it in mind or at least something colored by it; he chooses to misinterpret it more akin to anger and fighting. This is an active choice. He isn't doing this because you were being bad faith. He wants to close out the argument with the implication you are morally in error and so he can dismiss you with prejudice, but he wants to do with allowing himself to think himself polite regardless of whether or not that approach is polite. He is practicing self-deception.

You can see him make this choice elsewhere and often. As just one example, in another post he misinterprets the word philanthropy away from the intended understanding. Ironically, I posted something akin to this response explaining that he would do things like this and also claiming he would laugh at his conversational partner; he chose to be amused at me for finding him to be such a person, but explained in his reply that he would have found the person he was talking to amusing if not for me; then he proceeded to misunderstand the word.

The extent to which I anticipate him is largely lost on him or he would not be amused. I find him very predictable. I can see the inductive nature of his approach: if a person appears stupid or morally wrong, then it follows that they have lost the argument. Therefore argue in such a way as to show them stupid or morally wrong rather than to show the structure of his own arguments right. The strategy of picking the wrong meaning for someone's words falls out of this inductive approach.

To me it seems like he wields a sword whose hilt is a blade; he thinks the reason his posts go to dead is because others are attacking him, not understanding who delivers the cuts. If you don't want a misunderstanding the trick would be to have a point that doesn't make sense. That way he can stab it cleanly. Otherwise he'll cut himself on his hilt and then imply the blood on the ground is yours.

Being a hypocrite, he may reply to this saying I'm canvassing him or some similar nonsense; if he does, please note that you were discussing his argument with me and now I discuss his argument with you. If it is true, as he would like to imply, that to discuss the argument of someone else with another is not right, then he is not getting something onerous with my reply: merely what he does to others.
It was a big trend a few years back. But many are still going strong - I for one do them all the time, and I've found it extraordinarily enriching. MIT will almost certainly never take them down, as it's part of their institutional spirit. Others on the other hand, I'm not too sure about.
No, `.astro` is more than that. What I wrote about was their emphasizing MDX rather than generic Markdown.
Author here. That's interesting, as I've not worked with healthcare too much.

Others here have cited segregation of duties, which is definitely a factor, but the other one less mentioned in finance is the 'one throat to choke' principle: it's simpler from a management and regulatory perspective to have the responsibility for failures in one place rather than across many teams.
