> credit to Apple to achieving this, and I don't mean this ironically. They must be doing something right to gather such a following

Credit in a disgusting kind of way yes. A skill you can only admire abstractly.

This kind of thing has been going on for well over a decade now, the reality distortion field that Jobs left behind is very real... It's China level of denialism, pretty sure Apple's internal media control slogan is "never admit fault, deny everything, at all cost" - even big fat class action cost, because that's cheaper than breaking the delusion of the pretty, perfect device with a massive markup.

Once you've been burned once and they disrespect your intelligence you abandon them if you have any sense... but to be fair to others, some people become entrenched in the ecosystem and effectively have lockin, many of those poor souls do what any human does to protect their sanity in an impossible scenario, they lie to themselves to justify the economic and emotional cost to them - which ironically helps sustain the delusion for everyone else. Although maybe the single benefit of the big apps turning everything into a cloud subscription is that it reduces this somewhat.

But everyone has limits, I'm convinced there is a critical mass Apple will disenchant where the illusion will finally be broken for everyone and they burn their image. Since the company is well and truly into the milking stage I'm sure this will happen sooner than later - Investors have limited life spans even if companies do not.
Apple is the king of planned obsolecense in the computing segment.
Vamos Pana!
You are still free to sue them if it is actually a faulty product. But maybe you want to get a quick repair done in the mean time without shelling out $800?
Here is a nice video from the last 1000 million years https://bigthink.com/hard-science/plate-tectonics-animation/
Supposedly the funding for Google Cloud will go bye-bye if they don't beat Azure by 2023. They won't axe all of Google Cloud, but I bet they'll start killing services that don't make money. (Remember: Google is an advertising company; loss-leading cloud services don't help them sell ads)
Their uptime on their 'Robot' 'Storage Box' is also complete and utter shite in my experience. Reading that they plan on hiking the prices due to the cost of electricity, I'm strongly considering cancelling it entirely as it's used for off-site backups.
Metro lives on as UWP lives on as WinRT lives on as Project Reunion lives on as WinAppSDK.

Exactly the point the OP was making. Win32 is stable.
Isn't that what gamescope has been doing for quite some time?
Create short links that can be changed at any time
> if I had broken the screen

But the whole point is that it's Apple's fault that these screens are breaking, not the users'.
Found this really cool service that lets you update the destination of your short links at any time unlike other shorteners. They also have tools to do super quick and simple A/B testing using short links.
How is that different from, say, being forced to buy a PS5 or an X-whatever to participate in a gaming community, or to get a Spotify membership to hear a particular podcast?
.NET Framework is still there by default out of the box, and still runs WinForms and WPF like it always did.
How can a server know I'm using a different client if all the features are implemented? The condition that you may not use a third party client cannot be imposed by the API but is stipulated externally.
I don't know, it seems as though one of the basic instincts we've progressed past is our instinct to spread. When given the freedom to choose, people reproduce at less than a replacement rate. World population is still rising, but birth rates are falling nearly everywhere as different regions become more prosperous. Assuming this continues, where will we find the people to spread across the universe? Japan can't find people to spread outside of Tokyo.
Best and Fastest Way to Build an Enterprise Product MVP
What is the best way to build a web Enterprise SAAS App MVP?

I am not a developer. I know python to the extent of doing AI and ML. Don't know React or Java (took it in undergrad, but forgotten).

I have a pretty great enterprise SAAS product idea and want to build an MVP, decent enough to be used as Beta product by few companies.

One of my dev friends says, React for FE and .NET Core for Backend is the right tech stack based on his 25 yrs in development. He prefers it over Java.

Do I need to hire a freelancer dev to do this or is there a way I can build a decent Enterprise MVP on my own in a month/2 month time frame?

Pls remember, unlike consumer app, companies won't be willing to use the app as Beta if there isn't decent integration with their system and decent UX.

Or what's the right way to build an Enterprise SAAS MVP based on other success stories in SV?
The family in this situation had business plans that would have done just that, (B&B and a wedding venue), in a town of 300 where there is only a restaurant (catering) and a general store (everything else). The family sourced and bought everything not just locally, but from the town and surrounding farms (all dairy, meat, and produce)

The tax was imposed to get the family out of the town, and it worked - the family is not rich. In the end, they had to sell their family home (which had been in the family since the 1930's) and leave (which they did).

They were taxed out because the family is notoriously progressive, and the town is very much the opposite. There was cultural friction. Keep in mind that this was 20 years ago. These were very polite 60's era hippies, all college-edumacated and everything - and the (very small, very tight) town didn't want them in it.

The town hall imposed a (crazy) tax, and they had to leave.

Depending on where you are, some value preserving a local culture over 'getting richer'.
That's outrageous. How did this pan out, mate?
AI Inventors? Not So Fast
You're not addressing my broader point, though, just the easy-to-snide-at version of my point.

Yes, it's pretty obvious that Dall-E and similar models won't destroy humanity.

My point isn't that Dall-E is a black ball. My point is we better hope a black ball doesn't exist at all, because the way this is going, if it exists, we are going to pick it, we clearly won't be able to stop ourselves.

(For the sake of dicussion, we can imagine a black ball could be "a ML model running on a laptop that can tell you how to produce an undetectable ultra-transmissible deadly virus from easily purchased items")
Does it necessarily have to be money? I know everybody likes cash. Dropbox ran a very successful referral program where they give double (I guess) the storage to both parties.
They are in various ways more like utilities than products - like other utilities they/we would benefit from regulation - leveling the playing field and helping future proof these services.
> I thought it used EUI-64 assignments which leaks MAC addresses which is supposed to be a problem for some reason.

You're about a decade (2007) behind the times:

Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate
addresses using a combination of locally available information and
information advertised by routers. Addresses are formed by combining
network prefixes with an interface identifier. On an interface that
contains an embedded IEEE Identifier, the interface identifier is
typically derived from it. On other interface types, the interface
identifier is generated through other means, for example, via random
number generation. This document describes an extension to IPv6
stateless address autoconfiguration for interfaces whose interface
identifier is derived from an IEEE identifier. Use of the extension
causes nodes to generate global scope addresses from interface
identifiers that change over time, even in cases where the interface
contains an embedded IEEE identifier. Changing the interface
identifier (and the global scope addresses generated from it) over
time makes it more difficult for eavesdroppers and other information
collectors to identify when different addresses used in different
transactions actually correspond to the same node.

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4941

This document describes an extension to IPv6 Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration that causes hosts to generate temporary addresses
with randomized interface identifiers for each prefix advertised with
autoconfiguration enabled. Changing addresses over time limits the
window of time during which eavesdroppers and other information
collectors may trivially perform address-based network-activity
correlation when the same address is employed for multiple
transactions by the same host. Additionally, it reduces the window
of exposure of a host as being accessible via an address that becomes
revealed as a result of active communication. This document
obsoletes RFC 4941.

digression: the linked URL seems to be using some internal apple domain. The "proper" link is: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252794122?page=49

My guess is that the `origin-discussions2-us-dr-prz` subdomain refers to a set of servers which the main discussions.apple.com host would dynamically route you to based on IP location?
My HP also has a piece of cloth to put on the keyboard before closing the lid. I always suspended by pressing the power button and disabled suspend by closing the lid, so it is natural for me to use that extra protection.
I read it more like "did you unsubscribe to the magazine because the quality decreased, or because it took an editorial position you disagreed with?"

We always talk about the importance of understanding opposing viewpoints.

There's value in paying someone to say things you already think, but in a better way than you could. But, there's also value in reading the best version of an argument you despise, and reckoning with it.
I just had my 14" M1 MacBook Pro screen crack a few days ago and it was replaced for free.

Be curious about your circumstances whether it was repaired at an Apple Store and when this happened.

Perhaps there is a policy that isn't being disseminated around properly.
Wow this is great. Every company that I've worked for had created their own implementation of this. It's great to know that such product exists for the small companies or the ones that don't have the in-house expertise.

Does it work with okta as well? or are you planning on adding support for it?
I also had this response.
I wasn't, I'm including panel and wiring under materials cost, but some component of the $4500 panel replacement will be labor. Panels cost around $250, but then you need to upgrade the meter base, add an external disconnect (now code), upgrade ~5ft of aluminum from meter base to panel) and then swing over and reconnect all the circuits (high labor). There's also a city component for service upgrade. Then there's the components related to the solar grid tie.

I understand that how I initially phrased it sounded like maybe I was bundling that into labor.
What colour is YOUR Bugatti ? :P
They're using a deliberately malformed query to search, then complaining when they get no results.

At best it's incompetence, at worst it's an attempt at free marketing, how many people are searching for this guy now and getting links directly to his stuff?
Yeah, I burned through a few new Macs in late 90s early 2000s. They all were obsoleted pretty fast. I have an old Silver Door Mac G4 that was really just crap new out of the box.

But, the Late `09 Mac Mini I bought new has been as solid as one could ever hope for. I just ordered a refurbished late `14 Mac Mini from OWC to replace it and I expect it should last a few years too.

I mostly just write code for a web app I sell so I don't need the latest or most powerful Mac and the `14 model will run the current Mac OS and the latest versions of the software I use most, mainly BBEdit and web browsers.

I know I'd be pretty disappointed if I'd bought a Macbook M1 and that happened to me.
Yeah. Only thing I'll add is that I use my laptop as a thin-client, so I don't ever find myself pining for more power. Works great for watching YouTube, editing text and SSHing into my desktop via Tailscale when I want some more power. Using my Macbook in the same way is just more of a hassle, but that's probably because I don't use iCloud/the App Store...
I use a ULAs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address) for this. I have a private, non-routeable subnet, and another non-stable prefix for globally routable addresses.

In effect, it's not much different than how IPv4 works with unstable WAN DHCP addresses from your provider, and I don't have the headaches that NAT brings with it.

It's a different way to think about the problem, but I've actually found it to be pretty nice.
It's also not a very constructive UI change, and the Pixel 6 doesn't allow rolling back to Android 12, so if you do update, your premium-priced phone suffers a UI downgrade. I don't think anger is unreasonable when all is said and done, it's a phone. It doesn't need constant screwing around with the UI, just make it secure, reliable, and optimize it.
You've said something like this many many times and I just don't see the logic of the question. You're talking about a feature that you admit is a privacy compromise and then comparing it to an absolutely maximalist alternative, or a world where people only connect in literally one way (through their phone contact lists). Is it really so hard to imagine that other compromises may be possible, or even coexist?

The answer is I give them my email or username. They give me theirs. We connect.

Using phone contact lists shortcuts this process, but the exchange still had to happen at some point. Is it really so hard to believe some users might choose to do it again? Or, god forbid, with someone they'd rather not give a phone number to?
I don't quite understand how this works. I get that the League of Entropy is a verifiable timestamped network source of randomness, but how does this let you set a future time for decrypting something that you encrypt now. How do you depend on a quality of the random source in the future, when by definition that can't be predictable?
Google should just go ahead and shut down their entire Cloud business. I mean, nobody in their right mind would build a business or anything substantial on top of any Google provided service, and the hobbyist market can't be that big. Just go ahead and drop out Google, and quit fucking wasting everybody's time.
You can last a "full day" on AAA batteries. A manageable configuration is likely double-suitcase with copper link, each contains 10000 Alkaline AAA batteries.
You don’t need the ‘almost’ qualifier :)
Yep Linus is reformed these days. He took some time off and went to sensitivity training a few years ago. I'm sure like all humans he has bad days and makes mistakes, but all in all he's really trying.
I found it worth noting that the cache is primarily interested through linux's built in software raid system, md. SSDs in raid0 (strip), persistent disk in raid1 (mirror).
You can, but I bet that there are groups that wouldn't consider that fair. Taxing energy production would be much easier than taxing energy use.

Also: what is "BEV travel" ?
I think you're demonstrating exactly the fallacy that I identified.

I know personally I've caught massive issues in my own unit testing of my own code - so I know for a fact it's not a dead loss of time. I'm also not sure why you think it takes 50% of the workforce - that's never been my experience.

The trick is knowing what to test, how much to test it and how long to spend.
You are positing a zero-sum game between utility solar and rooftop solar. This is not the case. States (and the USG) subsidize fossil fuels to the tune of 10x what they subsidize solar. All energy sources require subsidies, but the solar subsidy is one of the lowest.

PUC rates going down for solar buyback will do nothing for the non-solar users. The fact that (some states') utility companies are regulated doesn't mean the regulation is protected from regulatory capture.

The utilities are not non-profits, they don't behave like them and have their plants on PUC boards everywhere.
The file names for the images on his site are pretty great.
How is this an argument against Signal and/or centralization? Pretty much the exact same thing could have happened with matrix 3pid servers.

I really like Matrix (and Signal), I use it and even run a public Matrix home server, but jesus I can't stand obnoxious Matrix fanboys who feel the need to shoehorn some Matrix plug into literally every conversation involving Signal.
People like to have the new shiny that they see around them.
> For me personally, 99.9% of my work is done at my desk

And for many of us their computer is not used exclusively at a desk.

It's also used at work, on a couch, on a plane, in bed etc.
Yes, it's P2P. Anyone on any server can share and communicate with anyone on any other server.

You can also migrate server unilaterally and keep your social graph without needing to tell everyone, all links to your stuff continue to work afterwards.
Out of interest. Why don't you like a land value tax? To me it seems like a great market based solution to American's lack of housing - which is a huge drag on our total economic growth.
Imho: once you have a product it's all about luck into meeting and selecting the right people to help you.
Also, tomatoes contain a lot of MSG, which in some parts of the internet is considered to be the most poisonous form of poison.
We've thought about a client-side tool to diff desired from most-recently-observed actual state, similar to tf plan. Nothing built yet though.

FWIW though we never automatically delete-and-recreate in Terraform fashion. Our thinking is that once Kubernetes supports it (or once we build an admission control webhook for it) we'd like to explicitly mark immutable fields as such, which would require you to explicitly delete-then-recreate. Little bit less declarative at the expense of being a lot less surprising given the constantly reconciling nature of our system.
Because I was a kid.

There are things that you an I know from the very beginning, from the very birth. We distinguish those things and perceive different stuff differently. But for you what now is disturbing is just a matter of perception. All people love music. People go to live concerts. But I for instance will never go to a live concert even if I get paid. So this is perception. We all love music but we perceive it in a different way.

Everyone loves animations, colors, movement, smoothness, graphics. And you and I know that if you’d been to chosen between Windows 95/2000 L&F and Apple’s liquid L&F that you want lick, you’d choose the later.

This is common sense. What in generative grammar is called given by birth. A language that everyone knows and the one we speak and understand though non verbally the moment we form into the world.

The same day and at the same moment you and I had a different history. We’ve been into different places and into different occasions. What’s being alive for me is not the same thing as being alive for you, though those are two very indifferent things. Being alive is being alive. But when one person has been into a sad occasion for him being alive is being sad. But being sad does not mean not being alive. It’s just in this other language alive has a different word. And this word is “Deep”. Those are deep feelings, but by no mean they are not non alive feelings. It’s just a different language. And this is perception.

Everyone loves moving parts. But you for instance in that matter it’d be just something different. But not with a different meaning, just in a different language. Despite you won’t like the flying letters, you won’t resist the tiny button animations this keyboard has on the corners of its buttons. And while the flying letters can be turned off. This is what EffectedKeyboard (the codename behind FKeyboard) does and this is exactly what I’m trying to do with modern Android phones and the Eco System on mobile devices overall. To make you want feel alive.
Without the obligations, the authorities, the taxes, the money and the banks accounts. To make you feel you’re breaking the rules. To pass you the feeling of quality, of something important. Alive. Of a kid. Of a child. Of yourself. Of animation.
This is starting to feel like the Windows platform post MFC/Win32.

Every couple years, it was a new initiative to get developers and the middle management deciders revved up. A sort of a “we’re building it so that you’ll come, right?” thing. And then a year or so later, a new initiative replaced it, the offering was dramatically watered down, or just altogether sunset’ed.
To be clear, it's completely unacceptable they are charging for this repair. My intent was to give some perspective on how the repair process went overall, I needed the device back for work.

While apart from the cracked screen issue the hardware is amazing in my opinion, the overall software issues make using macOS painful sometimes (processes running at high CPU -- now mostly offloaded to the efficiency cores, WebKit views having issues loading, anything syncing to iCloud sometimes not working, sometimes working on the 2nd try, Messages/Apple Mail search only finding some of the messages, audio crackling issues with wired headphones/AirPods/built-in speaker, etc.)
> A few vendors got upset that I had their name in the address

A few years ago I created an account with a freemium publisher with the email address their.domain@my.domain and as soon as I logged into my account I had full unlimited access to all content.

I suspect their system had a routine that detected staff accounts based on a string search for their domain.
Apple is notorious about keeping information secret. We won't know if they know about the issue or not until they act on it. There's next to no chance that they'll say "we've noticed this issue increasing and are discussing internally how to handle it". It took years to acknowledge the keyboard issues.
If only they had high-end ARM chips as an option.
Amplifi has a poor value prop ever since UDM/Dream Router became a thing, although I previously recommended it for the same reasons you do.

It would be nice to have a less complex app/frontend management interface for less tech-savvy end users -- if you could use the Amplifi app to see status and do basic troubleshooting on an Unifi network for instance--
They aren't very different. With Spotify we actually gave up a lot of power that custom clients had for the lowest-common-denominator sort of stuff, which is really sad.

With each of these products we keep giving up more and more of the powerful variety that was available before. While the average person doesn't lose much, the average person doesn't really exist and we've really lost a lot of long tails of value.

Plus you get more experience making decisions, more experience making quick decisions, and more problem-solving experience that way.
This examples can be made up arbitrarily. For any situation. You can always say that if it weren't for x, y would be even worse.

"If people didn't carry guns, there would be more violence."

"If we didn't start climate talks , climate change would be even worse."

etc...
